1| Damaged ✭ Sweet Pea

This Ain't The First Time We Faced Confict.

" We are damaged, beyond repair."

Midge Klump. A girl I had only spoken to a few times, every time about river vixen practice. Seemed like a nice enough girl. Now dead. A nice smart beautiful young life token away so quickly. After the events of the Musical they had found her on stage nailed to the wall with a bow from The Black Hood himself to 'All those who escaped him before will die.' I must say I'm on edge. But what I'm feeling is not grief it's something different, it's fear. I'm terrified of losing the people I hold dear. Now I watch as the fellow River Vixens pay tribute to the fallen at her funeral and I turn next to me to look at Sweet Pea and wrap my hand in his.. Oh Sweet Pea.
Flashback to yesterday;
I've called him like five times and Sweets still has not picked up he was supposed to meet me at his house an hour ago. I pace back and forth in his living room nervously biting my thumb nail and tears start to well in my eyes, What if something had happened to him? What if the got targeted by the Black Hood? What if.. I lost him.
A few moments later my thoughts are interrupted by the door opening with him carrying boxes of take out food.
" Sorry I'm late I figured you'd be hungry so I went and got your favorite, and my phone died" He speaks nonchalantly. I take a deep breathe letting a few tears slip out and rush over to him as soon as he sets down the food I wrap my arms around him,
" Don't let go" I whisper
" Okay, Love. What's wrong?" He asks rubbing my back.
" I thought.. When you didn't answer I thought I lost you. I can walk out that door and not worry If I'm going to get hurt but you I couldn't bare the thought of losing you." I say leaning my forehead against his, he responds by kissing me.
" Every time you walk out the door I worry. You are all I have."
End of flashback;
" I also feel it is my duty to say that.. like the furies of ancient Greece who ceaselessly pursue blood atonement when a crime has been committed. The Vixtens and I vow that we will not rest until those responsible for the murder of our sister is rightly punished." I am dragged out of my thoughts from the words of Cheryl Blossom. Most of the town blames Sheriff Keller for the death of Midge saying he cut corners and didn't see it all the way through, I do not believe that I think we all wanted to believe the Black Hood had been caught. The one and only person responsible for this crime is The Black Hood himself.

I decided I needed some alone time to just think so instead of spending another day and night at Sweet Pea's I came home, things have been getting intense. I cannot think straight when I'm with him and when I'm not with him I want to be. Once again my peace and quiet is interrupted by the sound of the front door opening and sobs I step in the hallway and stop in my tracks when I realize it's Alice.. Crying to my father, but it was what she said that completely threw me off guard.
" I had your- I had your baby"

I cover my mouth and continue to listen and the details just get sadder. Alice Cooper may have been Serpent enemy number one but she still is one of our own. Once I hear it go silent I step out of hiding make myself known
" Oh Kylie I'm so sorry I had no idea you were home" Alice says trying to put in a brace face
" Don't you dare apologize." I say walking over showing support putting a hand on her shoulder.
" Let's go get Jug" Dad says and I nod grabbing my jacket.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

We burst through the door of the Cooper home and find Betty in the living me obviously shocked and who her mom had brought home,
" Where Jughead?" my dad asks and she points down to the basement and the two of us rush down there to find me vigorously punching Chic the imposter of the Falice child- oops not the time to ship my bad.
" What the hell are you doing?" my dad shouts pulling him off
" Getting him to talk" Jug responds
" The hell you are!" Dad shouts again even louder dragging him out, once there to the stairs I turn to the Cooper women and say
" Sorry for the intrusion"
<><><><><><>
Once we are outside Dad gets more angry
" It's not your business boy!" he yells I stand a few feet back crossing my arms
" So were just suppose to leave Betty and Alice alone in there with a potential murderer?!" Jughead tries to shove himself back
Dad then tells Jug he cannot have him near that kind of thing and it isn't our place to make decisions. But Jughead just sulks away and I walk and stand beside my father.
" You and I both know why it is your place." I say just just loud enough for him to hear.
" Kylie.. I can't do this right now" He stalks away from me and heads for him bike.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
A few hours go by and I decide to head out again but to the same location. I knock three times and the door soon opens revealing and sad broken woman tear stains down her face.
Alice Cooper needed a friend and I wanted to be that.
" Hi I know I'm probably the last person you'd want to talk to but I thought you might need someone" I say and she opens the door more
" Not the last person" she weakly smiles going to sit on the bottom of the stairs and I follow.
" This isn't your fault you know that right?" I speak up and she just nods clearly not believing me
" Hey, it isn't and you may not know it yet but you will. I refuse to believe The Myth The Legend The Baddest Bitch of all Alice Smith gives up this easy" I smile and she starts to chuckle
" It's Alice Cooper now and she's not the same" she laughs
" Oh Hal can shove it, in my mind you're still that bad ass. I think my Dads too" I beam her a warm smile
" You know you're a good kid"
" It's what Serpents do, we take care of our own" She then wraps me in a hug
" Well I better head out but if you ever need anyone.." I say
" I know where to find you" she smiles and I head to the front door shutting it behind me.
Man I live in a crazy ass town.
