The previously drunk couple lied on the bed lightly snoring when a certain pink haired serpent woke the two up she gently shook the now brunette girl she abruptly woke up her hand in a fist ready to punch whoever it was she opened one eye and saw her friend there she held a finger to her lips as she stayed still sweet pea still laying on her chest the other girl handed her a pill with water she had kept count for her friend because she knew she didn't any children just yet she mouthed a thank you and took the pill the girl walked out of the room and back downstairs where her and fangs were making breakfast they went with cereal and pancakes the now awake girl's eyes fluttered open and looked down to see her still passed out boyfriend as she slid out of his grasp but what she didn't know was this woke him up and his arms tightened around her body "really we're gonna play this game again i have the worst headache and i need to shower i feel gross " he let out a breathly giggle "ok i'll let you off but i need to shower after you " she nodded as slid off the bed and made her way to her en suite where she jumped in the shower a few minutes she heard the door open and instantly knew who it was "sweet pea fuck off for five minutes i need to shower on my own " despite that the glass door opened and in got sweet pea still wearing nothing he pouted "but i missed you too much " she rolled her eyes and walked up to him trying not to slip she put her hands onto his cheeks and pulled him closer as he smiled into her lips he pushed her against the cold tiles and her back arched from the temperature change he slowly lifted her legs so they were around his waist she pulled back "sweet please stop i need to go get dressed and i feel like shit " he smirked "i can help you feel better" she frowned "noo i need to go run errands but we can have fun again tonight i promise " she winked as he let her legs drop "i'll leave you to shower because i'm finished " she walked out the shower and draped a towel around herself she walked into her closet and chose what to wear she chose a pair of denim shorts with a lowcut sleeveless crop top that had wolves printed on it she wore it because it showed off her tattoo she tucked it into the shorts and finished it off with her serpent jacket she slipped on her louboutin heels on she then went on to hair and make up she firstly scraped her hair into a messy bun because it was still wet and just went with red lipstick she then walked down the stairs to her other friends
"hey there Cella hows it going " fangs said gleefully she groaned as she sat down "oh my god why are you yelling" he laughed "i'm not anyway you want some pancakes toni made them herself" he smiled at the girl she smiled back "yeh why not i'm super hungry " the girl cooking slid a plate to the hungover girl across the island while fangs sat the other side and toni sat the over side fangs broke the silence "so you had some fun last night " she looked up at him stuffing food into her mouth " what makes you say that?" he smirked "oh nothing just how loud you was moaning last night " she nearly choked on her food but quickly composed herself while blushing "oh you heard that sorry" she looked down awkwardly then sweet pea came downstairs he put an arm around his girlfriends waist and kissed her lips she laughed "did you find your clothes alright ?" "uh yeh i mean considering you stole most of them i had a good collection to choose from" they all giggled then Celestia spoke up again " so who's on rolling duty for tonight ?" fangs smirked as he got up and came back with the container that was once full with the high they loved was filled with ready rolled blunts "already way ahead of you C" the girl looked shocked "my man fangs " she clasped hands with him and pulled him in shoulder to shoulder until she got a phone call she looked to see the caller id as her dads she stood up and grabbed her phone and walked down the hall while answering it
"hey dad what's up ?" he sighed then replied "is jughead with you ?"she shook her head"no why has something happened? are you ok ?" he said almost sadly "no nothings happened but i'm gonna need you , sweet pea ,toni and fangs to come down to the wyrm "she began to get worried now "uh uh ok i'll try and get in touch with jughead on my way " he said "thank you sweetie i'll see you in a little bit " she hung up and he did the same she walked back to to her friends
"um my dad just called he said we have to go down to the wyrm he sounded like something was wrong he asked where jughead was as well so lets go please " they all stood up and headed for the door she grabbed her sunglasses and a few of the rolled up highs and put them all in her pocket said goodbye to her dog then got in her car with everyone and raced down to the wyrm she pushed the doors open and walked in, the others taking a place by the pool table the girl saw jughead was already there and leaning against the wall where there was a crowd of serpents talking when one turned around she saw who it was and was mortified
"Celestia and jughead jones Did you really think you'd see the last of me?" Celestia looked beyond confused " What the fuck is Snake Charmer doing here? Dad? please enlighten me " she yelled then tall boy intervened "No, I brought her in, to help us." she shook her head vigorously "We don't need Penny's kind of help look where we ended up last time""You don't get a say anymore.Since you broke Serpent law and hurt one of our own kind. Penny was about to tell your dad. Show him, Penny. Show 'em all." Celestia tried to speak but couldn't get a word in quick enough penny rolled up her sleeve and slammed her arm on to the table and revealed the red mark that remained "That used to be my Serpent tattoo, until your son and daughter sliced a chunk outta my arm and left me bleeding in a ditch in Greendale. But I'm still willing to help the Serpents.Tall Boy showed me those eviction notices.They're legit.Luckily, I can think of about 41 ways to stall the process.And I'm talking years." Fp sighed and leaned forward on the table "What's your price, Penny?" his daughter rolled her eyes "always a fucking catch you can't do the serpents one favour without something in return" Penny glared at her" Blood for blood. An eye for an eye.I want back in with the Serpents and I want him kicked out. Oh, yeah, one last thing I want his and hers tattoo carved off." she pointed at the brother and sister " And I want to do it myself. With a dirty knife" the girl became alarmed "dad if you let her go through with this i'll die my tattoo is on the left side where my heart is and what if she cuts too deep out of spite " the girl began nearly crying she choked back tears as she ran out the bar and to the trailer because it was so closest she bust the door open and sat crying on the couch curled up in a ball
not long after jughead came in looking for her "hey Celestia are you ok " she yelled back "do i look ok i've just been threatened to have my tattoo cut off and could potentially die from it" he sat next to her and hugged her she said "how come sweet pea didn't come get me? does he not love me anymore" she cried even more he looked down at her weird "what of course sweet pea loves you he can't live without you dad told him to stay at the wyrm to keep an eye on things and you know dad wouldn't let that happen your stupid for even believing that in the first place " she got up "i'm not stupid you fuck its not my fault they're doing this " he went to shout back but their dad stormed in and jughead stopped waiting for an answer
" Well? What did they say? Are they kicking us out?" Fp hung up his jacket "There's gonna be a vote.You two versus Penny." Celestia wiped her eyes and stood up "us versus What, they can't see what we get? With Penny in the picture?" jughead stopped then Fp yelled back" Penny's a cobra, but mutilating her? That's the kind of thing you don't come back from, Jug and Cel." she yelled back in a fit of rage "i didn't fucking mutilate her what the fuck do you take me for" her dad glared at her "i am your father and you will respect me you understand me ?" she rolled her eyes then jughead muttered under his breath " Yeah, like stuffing a teenager's body in a freezer?" he pinned his son up against the wall of their trailer" You need to learn to keep your damn mouth shut.Tall Boy was right.You brought the Northside down on us.Serpents are losing their dens because of what you wrote." then jughead argued back "Don't kid yourself.You're using my article.And they're using what happened to the statue of General Pickens as an excuse to justify something they've already been doing." Fp sighed then scoffed while Celestia observed "You think you're a hero, Jug? Cutting up women? Bringing the temple down right on our damn heads? You will be the death of us.Not the Northside, not Penny.You
Celestia had had just about enough of getting the blame for everything "you know what jughead i agree with dad your the one who wrote the article i mean yeh i was there when you sliced penny's arm and yeh i'll admit i went along with it because your my brother and family stick together but look where that got me it got me nearly dying because of penny's spiteful ways" jughead yelled back "well if you don't like it then go back to the north side where you belong" she was shocked "you did not just say that i have more of a right to be here than you i spent years understanding the serpents and you just waltz in here and think your taking over " "well maybe if your slut of a mom would've kept her legs shut a mistake wouldn't have been made " she gasped and Fp looked at him with a glare "you take that back you fucking faker we all know you only joined the serpents to impress betty well dad's back now so he's taking over " he scoffed "you know i did this for dad to get him out of drug dealing and you wanted to help to " she screamed at him "i wasn't the one who cut off penny's tattoo " "but you were the one to do the serpent dance and the gauntlet weren't you" it triggered her into overload and she lunged at him and pinned him to the floor and began punching "your the one who wrote the article so your the cause of all of this " as she was finally pulled off of him by Fp's arms embracing her while jughead stood up a black eye and busted lip he snarled at her "your no sister of mine" and stormed out slamming the door in the process she turned to her father and buried her face into his chest and sobbed he tried comforting her "shhh its ok i wouldn't let penny cut you or jughead don't worry we're gonna solve this ok shh" she felt safe and secure in her dads arms
A little while later after Fp had to go and finalise things for the vote while Celestia sat thinking whether to apologise to her brother for fighting with him because they both knew they said things they didn't mean until she got a text from betty
Betty : hey your gonna wanna come see this meet me at the junkyard in 10
Celestia: ummm ok ... but the junkyard really?
Betty : yes now hurry
the girl put her phone in her pocket and stood up rushing out the door and running to the junkyard when she got there she was out of breath but was met by betty and jughead his sister scowled at the sight of him "what's he doing here " he scoffed "i'm solving the pickens head mystery duhh" she went to walk up to him but betty stood in the middle of them "we need to be working together listen i just got a phone call from someone who saw the flyers we put up so come on she walked away jughead and Celestia behind her she looked at her brother and poked her tongue out and he laughed she laughed and realised how stupid they were being and she said "listen i'm sorry i messed up that pretty little face of yours " he smiled "its ok and i'm sorry i shouldn't have said those things to you i had no right " they quickly exchanged a hug then caught up to betty where the owner of the junkyard was waiting
Celestia spoke first "hey there" he ignored the question "You the kids looking for a head?"jughead answered " If only we lived in a town where the answer could be no." his sister smirked "We are and you called to say that you have it?" the man exclaimed" I got nearly ten acres of scrap out there, and I come across weird stuff all the time. But this is the first time I found a bronze head.It was stashed in an old refrigerator." the girl walked forward and unzipped the bag " You didn't happen to see who dumped this? Has anyone suspicious been around here?" the girl asked curiously" Well, I get scavengers all the time, but there was a guy come in last week, I'd never seen him before.Claimed he wanted to get some bike parts, but he didn't buy anything." jughead looked at the man with hope in his eyes "Well, did you get his name? What did he look like?"he simply replied" Low-life type.Had on one of those jackets." he pointed to Celestia's serpent jacket the girl asked intrigued "By any chance, was this gentleman tall?" and the two simple words revealed everything" Sure was."
they ran to the wyrm out of breath Celestia composing herself catching her breath pulled a blunt from her pocket and put it between her lips she also slid her sunglasses from her head to her eyes by this time she had also took her hair down jughead held the door open for the girl carrying the bronze head Fp next to his daughter he yelled " Stop the damn vote." while sitting tall boy down and taking a seat behind him "What the hell were you doing at the dump last week, Tall Boy? " the man tried to act oblivious "I don't know what you're talking about." "I'm talkin' about you cutting the head off the Pickens' statue and stashing it at the dump where you were seen, dumbass. So start spilling! " jughead questioned "Why'd you do it? Someone put you up to this?" the now nervous man tried to change the subject by saying" What's the Northsider doing here? This is Serpent business, it's on Serpent land." the leaders son then stuck up for his friend / girlfriend"She's here because she's one of us." Fp snarled "You haven't answered my son's question: Why'd you do it?" the tall man scoffed "Cause I'm tired of seeing the Serpents goin' soft under your rule.Then Hiram Lodge came by, wanting to stir up some trouble.He said if I took the head, he'd get McCoy and the cops to swarm all over us, 'cause some chaos." they all raised a brow "So Hiram Lodge asked you to start a mutiny and you helped him, why?" "I figured it'd be my chance to get rid of you, sunshine." then Celestia spoke up as she lit the drug between her lips "and you thought if you got rid of me and my brother then , you could get rid of my dad too " Fp's anger was beginning to short circuit "And then, what, you'd become leader?" Celestia walked towards him throwing the bronze head on the table and taking a drag of her drug and blowing it in tallboys face "the simple answer is He and Penny they thought they would be the new king and queen of the south well your gonna have to do better than that You're a Judas, Tall Boy, and an idiot your lucky i don't put this red bottom heel through your red bottom heart" Fp stated "You betrayed your own kind, Tall Boy.You broke Serpent Law.What should we do with this lowlife?" the brother and sister smirked at each other then said in unison"Strip him of his jacket.Exile him." FP nodded"All those in favor." he got a reply of murmurs and hands up " Looks like this piece of trash and I got a long ride ahead of us." fp snickered Celestia walked up to him and crouched so they were eye level and pulled her sunglasses down her nose so he could just see her eyes and while slipping on her brass knuckles on one hand without him noticing with the biggest smirk on her face
"i win mother fucker" and with one swift move her brass knuckles collided with the side of his head and he was on the floor in seconds .
