Toxicity /Fangs Fogarty/

(2)

After what felt like ages of walking...I still have not found my father. On the other hand, I've attracted a creeper.

After a few turns around a few blocks, I realised that someone started to follow me. I could hear the footsteps behind me. I did try to walk faster, hoping to lose the creep but the footsteps only got faster.

My breath laboured and I started panting. Just as I was about to look behind my shoulder, the man was right behind me.

He shoved me onto the floor. Quite harshly if I may add.

"GAIL!?" wait I know that voice. I grew up with that voice. It was my twin brother, Jughead Jones. And as much as I need a hug from him right now, I need to murder him first.

"Don't call me that" I whined and kicked his ankle from the floor. I rubbed my butt painfully. That was a hard fall.

"Oh my god, what are you doing here!" A big smile spread across his face as he offered a hand to help me up. I ignored it and pushed myself up by myself.

"Mom kicked me out so I'm just looking for you and dad now. Found you." I grinned and pulled him into a huge hug. He hugged me back just as tight.

"Have you eaten? Do you wanna go to the white wyrm or pops?" He asks as we pull apart.

I shook my head. Food can wait. "I wanna talk to dad. Sort things out, you know" I explained.

Jug nodded understandingly, "The white wyrm it is. You probably should know that I joined the serpents"

"WAIT WHAT?!" I laughed loudly. Jughead? A gang member? It was hard to believe. He's always said that he was not interested in joining the family business and the gang world all together. I didn't either but I guess we've both changed.

"Why are you shocked" He nudged me while laughing loudly.

"It seems to me, that you joined too" He pointed at the jacket around my waist. Toledo Serpents.

I never really wanted to join the Serpents. It wasn't me. I'm the type of girl who liked to read tons of books and still manage to suck at school but I thought that joining the serpents would bring me closer to my family roots. All that nonsense.

I just nodded and shrugged.

"Jug?"

"Hmm?" He hummed in response.

"I met another serpent when I was wandering around earlier..he was.. well he was interesting" I said, thinking of the stranger whose name I have already forgottwn

"I forgot his name" I smiled sheepishly.

I was distracted at the moment. You can't blame me though..he really did look very very very distracting. What? I only speak the truth.

"Ok... what made him interesting?" Jughead asked slowly.

I laughed to myself as I thought of him.

"No, not him. He wasn't that interesting, meeting him was. He was scary. Scary as fuck. But damn he was hot" I let out with a breathy laugh.

Jughead raised his eyebrow and smirked. "And he was a serpent?"

I nodded my head, "yeah he was wearing the jacket"

"There's a name in my head, but it sounds really weird uh.."

"It might be right for all we know..the serpents do tend to have uh unique names" he laughed and scratched his neck embarrasingly.

"Does pangs frogfarting sound familiar..?"
