twisting the tension

After the devastating events of fangs being shot he was swiftly taken away by jughead and fp to rush him to the hospital Celestia and sweet pea offered to go with them but they declined and told them to visit him later


which left the couple in fit of rage and they walked away from the scene and down an alley they were both silent until she spoke up first "none of this would've happened if southside high didn't shut down" sweet pea scoffed "so your saying this is the southsides fault your just as bad as them " she folded her arms "thats the exact opposite of what i'm saying the northside has ruined everything for the people on the south and all this is because hiram lodge has slowly sucking the fucking life outta this town and eventually no one is gonna be left!" after she finished ranting he sighed "well from where i'm standing it looks like northsiders are just gonna shit shit on us more and eventually your gonna end up leaving too so you might as well leave now and save us the heartbreak" she scoffed then yelled "what the fuck are you talking about sweet pea i've supported the serpents since i was younger then i can remember i mean my dad is the leader of us so and if you think i'm gonna leave my dad you are most certainly fucking mistaken"


it went silent again and they stood apart staring any where but the person in front of them until sweet pea looked at her and their eyes met "i'm sorry" she sighed and walked up to him and hugged him as he cried into her shoulder as she held the back of his head he had his arms wrapped around her tightly as she replied trying not to cry and appear strong for everyone "its ok i know its fear talking" she felt him nod and they went back to silence until Celestia spoke in a quiet voice "i want vengeance for fangs" sweet pea stood up straight and backed away smirking "now your talking my language i'm thinking riverdale high?" she nodded smiling a wicked smile "lets go"


they ran from the alley and to their bikes sweet pea rounded up the younger serpents and they were soon on their way to the high school they all knew to well it didn't matter what they were about to do because of the riots that were taking place they all got off their bikes and headed towards the school Celestia had picked up her brass knuckles and her pocket knife when they got up to the doors she brought her foot back and kicked the doors with such force it nearly flew off its hinges she walked down the halls ruining anything she could find the rest of the serpents followed doing the same and eventually they ended up stairs until they heard talking down the halls and were just about to carry on vandalising down stairs


when they did sweet pea walked past a painting on the wall and dragged his pocket knife through it leaving a gaping hole in place Celestia laughed as the continued down the hall but were stopped when they saw a certain ginger haired northsider sweet pea turned around to his posse and said


"Well, Fellas, looks like we found some bulldogs to put down." they all began barking and howling like dogs as Celestia laughed walking next to her boyfriend he began to explain himself "Sweet Pea, I swear, Reggie didn't shoot Fangs It was Mrs.Klump." sweet pea scoffed as Celestia crossed her arms across her chest and sweet pea shouted "Bull.I saw Mantle with the gun!" archie yelled back" Then you also saw me tackle him, before he got a shot off! It was Midge's mom! She's down at the station."


sweet pea looked at him"Yeah, and Fangs is still clinging to life.And whether it was Reggie or Mrs.Klump who pulled the trigger, a Northsider put him there."


Celestia then spoke "You took our friend, our land And you'll take everything if we give you the chance."


sweet pea then grabbed a trash can and tipped it upside down emptying the contents on to the floor and saying "So now you get to watch as we burn your school to the ground." and threw it at the trophy cabinet Celestia flinched a little but was soon interrupted by principle weatherby walking in with a baseball bat on his shoulder and other people escorting him and he simply said with a hard expression possessing his face "What the hell do you boys think you're doing to my school?"


Celestia scoffed and said under her breath "wow sexist " he heard and shouted "get out" and everyone left but Celestia waited behind "hey sweet pea you go on ahead im gonna talk to archie real quick " he nodded and sped off "hey archie" she said jogging to him he looked to her "yeh whats up?" she messed around with her rings but their conversation was stopped by archies phone ringing he answered and it was pop the phone call was over quickly and archie seemed in a sudden rush "i gotta go to pops you wanna come with me?"


she nodded "yeh thats what i was actually gonna ask if you would take me to pops i need time to think about things" he nodded and she hopped in his truck and ended up to their destination without any complications as they entered pops they found reggie and he started talking "i didn't know where else to go.Mr.Lodge left me hanging." archie sat at the other side of the booth while the jones girl just listened "Wait, Reggie, I know he paid you to trash the Whyte Wyrm.But did he put you up to this?" Celestia sighed "i heard about that and honestly i cannot be bothered to fight anymore"


then kevin pointed out the noise outside "Guys? Outside." reggie looked panicked "Sepents! They're coming for me." Celestia scoffed "i'm not surprised" he glared at her and she said as she looked out the window as archie stood up and called jughead "Archie, what's up?"" Jughead, where the hell are you guys? " jughead replied "I just got the Serpents back to the Whyte Wyrm. Mrs. Klump's house is secure.What's wrong?" archie looked confused £ Well, if the Serpents are with you, then who the hell is out here at Pop's?" meanwhile Celestia stood up by the booth and said


"thats not the serpents i know that fuckin car from anywhere the ghoulies are back" archie ran back just as Celestia said ghoulies and began calling some one "Damm it! Nobody's answering at the Sheriff's station." she smiled "Looks like your on our own." they all looked confused but archie continued "Okay, we should be fine as long as everybody Everybody, get away from the windows! Stay down! Do you have a gun in here, Pop?" he replied with " No.Had my fill of gunfire back in the war.But I learned a trick in the riots of '79.I have Mr.Lodge's leftover liquor from that poker night.And you get to the roof through the crawlspace" archie smiled " I like how you're thinking, Pop."


Celestia sighed as she stood up and walked towards the door "lemme handle this" archie disagreed "what Celestia no i can't let you do that " she replied "shut up you red head i got this" she pushed open the door and walked out her hair bouncing as she did so



"Anyone want to come out and play? We got some new toys to show you! Hey! Come on." the lead ghoulie shouted Celestia laughed and shouted back as the ghoulies grouped out of cars "shut the fuck up malachai" he laughed loudly "ahhh dear cousin how have you been?" she glared "fine , i see you finally go out of shankshaw" he shuddered "yes well after we were put there by the serpents" she stopped anxiously as he had not yet noticed her tattoo or jacket "yeh well thats a shame" he his facial features changed into an even wider smile as they hugged he whispered into her ear "be careful now serpent queen you could get burned " they pulled back and she smiled "i know what im dealing with mal i have done for a while now but you have to leave this is way out of hand" he laughed "ahh we're here to cause a scene first"


just then a smash was heard and fire erupted from the ground Celestia stepped back and shouted "archie what are you doing get down from there you idiot and you could've hit me with that Molotov you fucker" but malachai had other ideas


"Hit me!" but just then a police cruiser and a motorcycle showed up and mr keller said as he got out of the car and pumped his shotgun " All right, now it's a party!" "bye bye malachai" Celestia laughed as she waved smirking and malichai shouted " Come on, let's go.Let's go!" as Fp got off his bike and took his helmet off her said " Get the hell outta here." as they walked back into pops where they were congratulated for being heros people cheered and clapped as archie hugged his dad


reggie then spoke gratefully " Mr.Keller, I thought you resigned." mr keller laughed "Turned in my badge, but not the cruiser yet." archie then questioned "How did you guys know we were here?" to which Fp replied " Well, Jug called, said you were in trouble so I called your dad right when Kevin called."


fred then triumphantly said "We're not letting this town go down without a fight." and kevin held up his phone and said "Hot Riverdale Dads to the Rescue."


Celestia then scoffed "ewww my dad isn't hot" they all laughed as she walked up to him and hugged him just then she got a text from one of the serpents saying


python: hey you might wanna get to the wyrm sweet pea and jughead are having a disagreement again


Celestia: ok thanks for letting me know i'll be there asap


Fp then pulled her to the side and said "why was you hugging malichai ?" she sighed "he's my cousin on my moms side " her dad raised a brow "your a serpent and your cousin is a ghoulie well don't let it get in the way of anything " she nodded "yep weird family right?" as she put her phone back in her pocket


and said "shit i gotta head to the wyrm jug and sweet pea are having lets say a disagreement i'll see you later so you in a bit dad" she kissed his cheek and ran to her bike and rode down to the wyrm just as jughead pushed her boyfriend up against a pillar holding the bar up which she found funny seeing their height difference but silently laughed but saw the situation getting worse but caught on to their conversation


"I can't just sit here" " You don't have a choice, Sweet Pea, you're staying put.You said it yourself, the Ghoulies are back! We will deal with them.As soon as my dad gets back" so sweet pea snarled back" Oh, so you're not our leader all of a sudden? Oh, no, that's right, you're just the guy who got Fangs shot! - Watch it - And now, Fangs might die! And the Ghoulies are out for our blood because of a drag race you started." he pushed her brother and she stepped in


"no because i'm gonna take charge we'll sort the ghoulies i can talk my way outta it or something we just need time" then jughead went up to him "An hour.That's all I'm asking for, Sweet Pea." Celestia groaned "thats not what i fucking meant" she stood as the two boys stared at each other as sweet pea walked away he punched the wall he was previously pinned against his girlfriend followed him and grabbed his arm "hey whats up" he pulled away from her


"your brother is whats wrong" she smiled as she walked to him and hugged him he soon opened his arms and wrapped them around her and kissed the top of her head "i think somebody's moody because he's tired am i right?" he smiled "maybe i am" she smiled back as she snuggled into his chest "do you wanna go home them baby?" he shook his head "i wanna wait to hear news on fangs " she nodded "after can we go home i'm a little tired?" he looked at her "of course baby" she went and sat on the pool table facing the stage and sweet pea stood in between her legs as she sat with her head against his chest with her arms around him once again


then she saw jughead race off somewhere and she questioned sweet pea "wheres toni been actually i havent seen her all day ?" he shrugged "probably in bed with cheryl " Celestia laughed until jughead came back after a little while with toni and cheryl


"hey toni where the fuck have you been" she said sleepily toni laughed "penny kidnapped me for fuck sake" Celestia's eyes widened "oh shes back this day just keeps getting better and better she groaned


by this time her and sweet pea were stood by the stage with his arm wrapped around her waist she laid her head on his shoulder as he began ranting again while jughead leaned against the pool table he began ranting "It's time we end the Ghoulie scourge and that traitor, Penny Peabody permanently."


jughead argued back "Sweet Pea, two hours ago your fight was with Reggie Mantle.Now you want us to go to war over territory that we don't even control anymore? This is Hiram Lodge's problem, not ours."


Celestia sighed "you just don't fucking stop arguing what are you five" and then toni piped up as Celestia rolled her eyes at everything"So you're just gonna hand over Sunnyside Trailer Park, our home to Penny and the Ghoulies?" and jughead defended " Toni, I don't want us to die.A rumble with the Ghoulies right now? - It's a suicide-run."


then sweet pea and Celestia said in unison "It's better than a coward's death." they got up in each others faces again jughead pointing the finger as sweet pea shouted "Don't we have to defend ourselves? " jughead then shouted "don't call me that" by this time Celestia was agitated so yelled " That's enough!" but her voice was overtaken by her dads


she pulled sweet pea back and muttered "stop it you idiot" as Fp continued "I just got a call from the Sheriff's office.Fangs, uh He didn't make it.He's gone." jughead then repeated "Fangs is dead?" as Fp continued again " And we will mourn him, hell yeah, we will.But first, we will honor him." Celestia gasped as she buried her head into sweet peas side a few stray tears rolling down her cheeks


as Fp took the lead again "From what I just heard, it sounds like we need to put it to a vote.All those against going to war with the Ghoulies? " no one put their hands up" And all those for giving them hell on the battlefield tomorrow?" everyone put their hand up as if they were two fangs of a snake including Celestia who had composed herself everyone apart from jughead


"finally we can go home i'm so tired" and with that they headed home but not for long Celestia groaned as she got off her bed sweet pea sat on the couch "whats up?" she sighed dramatically "i forgot my fucking charger at my dads" her boyfriend laughed " he literally lives a few trailers down you want me to go?" she smiled as she put on her shoes "nah i'll be ok i have to get the dogs as well" she said as she shut the front door and walked to her dads opening the door


and grabbing her charger she saw them arguing jughead being the first to start as always which seemed to be common recently " This is a mistake.You can see that, right? We'd be going in blind, Dad.Would you listen to me for two seconds?" he said as he threw his dads book off of the bale and Fp threw his pen" For all we know, the Ghoulies outnumber us one hundred to one" Fp said back " Don't you think I know that?" he yelled as he kicked the chair Celestia slightly flinching he walked over to the sink and screamed and let out all of his anger


"Boy, I've been doing this a lot longer than you have.And we voted." he said as he ran a hand through his hair Celestia sighed again at all the shit going on as she found her dogs leashes as he continued "If we're going down, we're going down fighting.As for being outnumbered, I'll rally the reserves.They'll fight" then she finally spoke "are you ok dad ?" he looked at her then kisse her head "yeh i'm fine" before slamming the front door behind him


jughead sat down and pulled his beanie off of his head and put his head in his hands his sister walked up to him and put her hand on his shoulder "jug this is gonna work itself out i know it" he nodded as she picked up the chair and stood by the sink "what are you thinking little brother?" he stood up and grabbed his phone and made a phone call she could here everything being said "This is Hiram." his sisters eyes widened but she didn't say anything


"Fangs getting arrested, the riot, the Ghoulies showing up the night of the riot, with Penny in tow None of this is happenstance."


"Jughead, I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about."


"You've been buying up everything you could.But you couldn't buy us, so you paid the Ghoulies and Penny to go to war with the Serpents to finally get rid of us once and for all.How much is this costing you?" Celestia held her head in her hands as she hit her hand off the counter "fuck" as the conversation continued " I'm hanging up now." but jughead spoke just in time "'Cause I have a counter offer. mr lodge?" then he said "i'm listening" as jughead explained the deal mr lodge agreed as he hung up the phone Celestia screamed "i've kept my cool all day and now i've just lost it what the fuck is wrong with you jughead you've just made a deal with the fucking devil"


he sighed then shouted back "its the only way to stop this" she slapped his face "no its not wake up jughead can't you see i don't want you to die i've already lost one brother i'm not ready to lose another just promise me you wont do anything stupid of me jughead please " he nodded as she hugged him " i love you " she said as more tears rolled down her cheeks he replied " i love you too and i never stopped " she wiped her eyes and moved back picking up her dog and putting the other on the leash


"i'll see you tomorrow ok brother if your not ok by the morning i'll come and murder you myself " she laughed and he smiled faintly "see ya fang and pea " Celestia looked around and remembered he was talking about her dogs she smiled faintly as she headed out the door "bye love you jones" he replied " bye love you jones" she laughed as she shut the door and headed back to the trailer she shared as she began to cry again but stopped before sweet pea saw


"i'm back baby" he smiled as the dogs ran up to him and her greeted them she went over to the couch and sat next to him and put her head on his shoulder and sighed loudly "whats up?" she just stared "i think jugheads going to do something stupid" he just nodded


she got up and ran out "i can't do this i have to help my brother and got on her bike and headed to the docks following her instincts she saw jugheads bike and ran further and saw penny with a group of ghoulies she hear penny talking "The Sacrificial Lamb arrives." she said wickedly as Celestia ran to him "jughead i fucking told you not to be stupid but here you are fucking around like this" he sighed "its the only way " she shook her head as tears filled her eyes "i'm not gonna let you do this if you want a so called sacrifice i'll do it i won't let you hurt my brother " but jughead continued "I'll remind you of the deal that I made with your boss, Hiram Lodge.I hand myself over to you tonight and there's no bloodshed tomorrow"


his sister was frantic "no your not fucking doing this" as penny spoke "Apparently, getting you out of the picture is more important to him than all-out Serpent annihilation." jughead laughed "30-to-1.Are you that afraid of me?" then malichai spoke " The only scary thing is what we're going to do to your girlfriend when we find her." Celestia screamed "i'm your fucking sacrifice take me instead " penny smirked "we're getting to you bitch You're a true hero, Jughead.Let your dying thought be that your sacrifice was for nothing.And that come morning, Riverdale as you know it will cease to exist." as the ghoulies began to seize and circle jughead as they began to punch and kick him to the ground while Celestia watched in horror


"malichai we're meant to be family if you touch me you'll fucking regret it as penny said "Don't finish him off yet, guys.I want my pound of flesh first" they got off him as penny flicked up her knife and carved the tattoo from the un conscience jughead after she finished she got some ghoulies to grab Celestia and got to work on her tattoo she let out screams as penny was half way done"malchai please we're family make her stop" he stared for a minute and walked to penny "ok stop now she's my cousin I SAID STOP" penny flinched and the knife slipped and she stabbed further in as Celestia let out a growl as penny backed away


"now get away penny, malachai please go i thank you i've to call my dad i'll talk to you soon ok?" he nodded and they all headed away as Celestia ran to jugheads side and stroked his beaten face and looked at his arms as more tears fell from her eyes "jughead i told you not to be stupid i'm sorry i love you look i cant lose you too"


she pulled out her phone in panic she called her dad after two rings he answered "hello Celetia whats up?" she breathed heavily "i'm at the docks jughead just got beaten and had his tattoo carved off by penny and the ghoulies and penny carved half my tattoo off please come quick we're both losing a lot of blood" he sounded like he was running and spoke "i'm on my way just hang in there please Celestia" her voice became faint "in case i don't get a chance dad i love you so much and i thank you for everything you've done for me "


he spoke quickly "your gonna be ok and you gonna be able to say you love me in person " she sighed "ok dad tell sweet pea i love him" he replied "i'll see you in a minute don't worry" she sighed as her phone died she sat next to her brother and layed her head next to his and held his hand "i love you bro" then she passed out


when she came around she was still nect to jughead as her dad picked him she stood up with as much strength as she could "dad ?" he looked "yeh its me baby we're going ow i'm gonna need you to walk she nodded as she limped nect to him as they came to a clearing where sweet pea ,archie , toni ,betty ,cheryl all waited as archie noticed them


Fp stood with jughead in his arms as Celestia heaved and struggled to breathe she limped over to sweet pea but as she did she passed out again he caught her just in time and picked her up as tears streamed down his face Fp had tears in his eyes trying to hold them back
