like what
how else do u get rid of a demon then

and wtf is with the attitude
i wasnt even making it out to be anything i was freaking ASKING
jesus
yknow this is kind of a lot right
so forgive me if i dont know all the rules to ur magic horror movie blood cult
fyi regular life isnt all that simple either
stop feeling so sorry for urself and figure out how to deal with it

[ It's the kind of response Sabrina dreads as she reads it. Here she thought people might be more sympathetic or understanding, but instead her stomach churns at "magic horror movie blood cult" and the rest of those words cut deep. ]

I know it is a lot
I'm sorry I don't know WHY I keep saying these things it's like a compulsion
also I KNOW regular life isn't simple but don't tell me not to feel sorry for myself because I'm NOT
you don't even know what it's really like and I don't know why I expected a mortal to get it

what do u even want me to say sabrina
u didnt like it when i said u just did what u had to
u didnt like it when i called it cool
u didnt like it when i said live however u want to
like i GET it ok
no i DONT know what its like to be a witch any more than u know what its like to be a human
like obviously, since thats impossible
but that doesnt mean everything we go thru or the decisions we gotta make are necessarily THAT different
what would i know tho i'm just a stupid mortal

you don't have to be a JERK about it
I didn't even mean to say all that it's like something is controlling me I don't know

[ Not that it fully matters right now because she's actually angry enough to continue going. ]

I didn't call you stupid so don't put words in my mouth

[ Though she feels bad being so quick to remind him he's mortal. That's something Auntie Zelda or Prudence would have done. ]

I just... don't want you assuming any of this is easy
you DON'T have to potentially say goodbye to your friends or be caught between not disappointing your family and hurting your friends or vice versa

ur sure acting like it
and im freaking tired of everyone always talking down to me like im some kind of dumbass
i dont know anyone whos life is easy
but why the hell would it matter if someone does think that
ur the only one here assuming things
2 of my friends got killed last year and now one of my best friends might have to leave town for god knows how long
maybe even for good
and my family might be in bed with one of the reasons why
not that i would know since when i tried to ask my dad what he knew about it he clocked me
at least u GET to say goodbye

[ Wait. Fuck, now who's suddenly got no filter? And not in the way that's pretty typical for Reggie, either. ]

shit
forget it

[ Well, now she feels absolutely stupid. ]

wait
what
oh my gosh reggie I am so sorry
I really am that's a horribly traumatic thing to go through TWICE

[ Which is then followed by a swell of anger in her chest. ]

excuse me?
your dad did what to you?

its fine
i didnt mean to tell u any of that
seriously just forget it

something IS going on
but no I'm not going to forget it reggie
did your dad hit you? does that happen often?

no
i mean not like all the time
my parents can just be kinda strict its not that big a deal

hitting someone IS a big deal!
especially if they're your child!

u dont even know my dad
plus it could be a lot worse
like as far as i know hes never killed or TRIED to kill anyone, unlike the dads of a few ppl i know

that doesn't make it right
if my aunts didn't hit me for killing another witch AND throwing off the balance of life and death I'd think whatever he's hitting you for is nowhere near worth it

i didnt think this WAS but he didnt wanna talk about it
really, really didnt wanna talk about it
also no offense but ur aunts dont exactly sound like theyre crushing it in the parenting department either
how the hell do u even throw off the balance of life and death

you should tell someone if he's hitting you
tell your school they can do something I'm sure
my aunties are amazing they've taken care of me my whole life
it was when I performed the ritual to bring harvey's brother back to life
a life for a life so I killed agatha... but temporarily because I brought her back after so I technically cheated the grim reaper which only upset the balance as he required a body in exchange for harvey's brother

omg would u just let it go
i already told my friends about what happened
cuz well
there wasnt any way around it
but why would i tell the school
do u not get what that could do to my family

[ Not to mention probably derail their other investigations into G&G and against Hiram Lodge, given the specifics of this particular incident. All things considered, Reggie's family drama is pretty low on Riverdale's food chain. ]

oh so kind of like final destination
except with zombies
does it ever work tho?
bringing ppl back

reggie it is NOT NORMAL for your loved ones to ever hurt you
no matter what you do or say your parents are supposed to protect you not do that
hey wait
is that why you wore those sunglasses when you came back?
and I don't know. I really thought it would work but tommy came back... broken

[ Ay ay ay... that's Unrealistic™ but Sabrina's clearly not about to listen any time soon. This is exactly why Reggie didn't want to tell anyone here about this; they weren't there, they don't know Riverdale or his family, of course they'd sooner condemn his dad than believe anything Reggie has to say about it.

And even if she is right, what can he really do about it? Nothing. But maybe it's just nice that somebody actually cares, though. ]

yes

so u've never known anyone thats done it before?

oh my gosh
I wish you had told me!
no I haven't but the plot around our house can bring back dead witches

i dont
not that it matters since now u know anyway

[ God, he hates this. ]

what, like by itself?

reggie in spite of all this? I still consider you my friend and care about what happens to you here or elsewhere
I'm not sure I fully understand it but from what my auntie told me the soil around that plot was apparently harvested from cain's garden which was soaked with abel's blood
it's supposedly "the most fertile" soil on earth
I guess that's why it can bring back witches?

u say that now, but trust me
theres no point in sweating everyone else's baggage all the time
I mean dont get me wrong, like im touched and everything but
why the hell would i go around telling ppl
if I wanted to be known here or ANYwhere as the guy whose dad sometimes pops him one then id, y'know, open with that or something

what...
is that a GOOD thing? i cant even tell
or do u just cremate everyone

you don't need to be known as that
there's no shame in telling your friends reggie
when you want to I mean

[ Because in Sabrina's head it's easier said than done... kind of. ]

I don't really know
I've never attended a witch funeral before and the last time I saw one die besides the girl I killed was the witch who my coven ate

that isnt exactly ur call sabrina
I have told my friends
like, back home
but u never know when someones gonna start treating u different over it

so do witches just live forever if nobody kills them?
didnt u say ur family runs a morgue
do u guys only work on normal ppl then or hows that work

[ Sabrina doesn't know what to say to that first part. Honestly? It makes her... sad to hear that. She just feels bad Reggie feels that way himself. ]

well... yeah, it's a morgue for mortals
my aunties need to do something to blend in with the rest of the town
