Nixie

(Eleven - Misery)

    "Nixella Eloquin Parton you better explain why we were called to pick you up because you assaulted a police officer, the sheriff!" Celeste Parton stood glaring dissapointedly at Nixie with her husband, Brantley Parton, next to her texting on his expensive Iphone.

    Nixie stood in her place in the waiting room of the Riverdale Police Station with her arms crossed and an equal glare and grimace on her face. "Well for starters I hoped you two wouldn't use you connections with Mayer McCoy."

    "Don't talk to your mom like that Nixella."

    "Don't talk to me like that Nixella." she repeated.

     "Yeah! Don't talk to your mom like that Nixella!" Sweet Pea called sarcastically from the cell he sat in.

     "Piss off, Sweet Tea!" The boy stuck his tongue out at her then sent a wink and slumped in his place.

    Celeste watched with fury in her eyes, "That's the boy that got you in here! A snake!" she yelled and took a daring step forward but was stopped by Brantley who murmured a soft, not here.

     "Yes! A snake, a serpent, and he's one of the best people I've met lately who doesn't just up and leave like Tommy or Lyla or Sammy!" She paused when she was breathing heavily, "Oh wait! You sent them away just like Antonio, like Sebastian. Your own children, am I next or do you need to keep an image to the public about being wonderful lovely parents with children who don't hang out with snakes."

     Celeste went silent, the whole place did, as she stared at her daughter. "No more snakes, no more school, no more hanging out with anyone, and no more studio time."

     "No school really? Thank you Celeste." She sarcastically replied, "And I will hang out with who I want."

  

     "Nixella-"

     "Fine. Then you won't be staying at the house anymore. When we get home I want you out." Her mom sneered stepping closer to the red head.

     "I'm Robert now? Fine by me. I don't want to live with two posers anyway."

     "They are minors they have rights too, do you even have proof they did the crime besides a bunch of teenage boys telling you so?" Nixie asked as she glared down at the Tom Keller, the man she had punched -his eye had a nasty red mark around it- a few hours ago, as she spoke to him.

     "Though what you mention is relevant Miss Parton-"

    "Nixie."

     "Nixie they are serpents in sure-"

 

     "I-" She hesitated, "I'm a serpent too, and if what saying is about them being serpents I demand I'm locked up too." She stayed proudly.

     "You're no snake Miss Parton an-"

     "Nixie! And they- we're not snakes. And if you want another matching black eye I suggest I'm locked up with my fellow snakes."

    Now Nixie sat with her head resting on Sweet Pea's shoulder as they sat in a large cell crammed with Serpents as Nixie told him about why she was back in the cell.

    "I like the sound if you being a Serpent, Blue." He murmured as he rested his head on hers

   

     "I do too."
