My eyes flutter open, my head laid across Sweet Pea's chest, I let out a groan as I sit up, my hair a mess. I wander out, finding Tori in her room, still asleep.

My feet patted against the hard wood floor onto tile in my kitchen, a yawn escaping my lips. I begin to make breakfast, when my phone begins to ring. I furrow my brows, Betty.

"Hello?" I sing.

A sigh escape her lips. "Hey."

"What's up, girlie?" I ask.

"My mom. She's doing this..thing at the farm. Like a baptism." She explains.

I pout, pulling out a pan from my cabinet. "Really? She still isn't over that?"

Betty lets out another huff. "No. Even worse she's not even talking to me about it. Like I get no insight."

My cousin and I talk a little longer until hanging up, and I finish making breakfast, and even a bottle for Tori when Pea walks out in his boxers. "Hey." He grumbles.

I turn to look at him, my eyes lighting up. "Hey!" I chirp, skipping over to peck his lips. "Sit right there, I made breakfast." I hum, hopping back to the kitchen.

"My Princess, making me food? This is heaven." He jokes as I set the plate down. I peck his lips, wrapping my arms around him.

"You deserve it." I hum.


I leave Tori with Dad and Hermione, heading to school with Pea.

I wrap my Serpent jacket tighter around me. Once Cheryl had left, I felt odd wearing the cherry colored leather, so I've opted back to my black. Cheryl had mailed me a "Pretty Poisons" jacket as well, which was sitting in my bag as we speak.

Jughead and Betty walk in. "Where the hell is everyone else?" He said.

"Oh, we're down another eight." Sweet Pea says bluntly, an arm wrapped around me.

Fangs nods. "All girls."

"Where are the all going?" Betty asks.

I sigh, pulling out the new jacket from my bag. "Cheryl and Toni made a new gang, The Pretty Poisons. All the girls are defecting to it." I say. I understood Toni's view, I did. But I also didn't really think this gang was just for Toni. Especially of recent events.

"So, what do you want us to do, boss?" Fangs asks.

"Nothing." Jughead sighs. "This is all because I banished Cheryl and Toni. I just need to talk to Toni, get her back into the Serpent fold, and the rest will come back, too." He says. I lean my head on Sweet Peas shoulder. "They need to be reminded what it means to be a Serpent." I nod, looking down. "When did you get that jacket?"
