VIPER • the serpent princess

12

I walk into school, to see there are posters, screen shots from the video up on the lockers. Sweets is quick to order the Serpents to rip them down. I watch as they do so, I storm towards Sid who is smirking smug at the end of the hallway.

"Malachai says hello" he grins.

"You're going to die for this" I hiss.

"I understand why he kept fucking you, now I've seen what's underneath the jacket" he states, licking his lips, "I'd like a taste myself"

I throw him back into the wall as he steps forward. Then turn around and start rushing out of the school. Sweet Pea suddenly appears in front of em.

"Casey-"

"I'm going Sweet Pea. Everyone here, has seen me. I just-i can't be here. Malachai wants me upset, he wants me to fight back. I'm not going to give that to him" I argue.

"Okay, but I'm coming-"

"No you're not. Stay here, hold the ground. I'll be at the Wyrm"

"Hey! Don't drink, don't go down that dark tunnel again"

"Hey Casey! You mind if my snake checks you out!" someone laughs.

"Nice tits!"

"Best porn ever" another calls.

I shake my head, looking to Sweets. Fighting for the tears to not fall. Don't go down that dark tunnel he said.

"I never left it" I scoff, pushing Sweets aside and walking out.

When I enter the Wyrm, everyone looks at me. Not with the usual admiration and smile to greet me, they look at me differently.

"What? Expect me to run and hide under my bedsheets? Cry? I'm fucking fine, go back to whatever the hell you were doing" I hiss.

I go behind the bar, taking a bottle of vodka down, opening the lid and drinking a whole lot as fast as I can.

"Add it to my tab" I chuckle, sitting at the bar.

"You're going home"

I turn to the voice and see FP. I laugh.

"You see the video too? My pretty much father see me naked-"

"Of course I didn't watch it Casey. Look at me, you don't need to drink this away. Go home, wait for Sweet Pea" he instructs.

"What? I can't have fun here?" I frown sadly.

"No, you can't go home, now"

"Alright I will. Hey, a leaked sex tape, add that to my list of being a fuck up" I glare, taking the bottle of vodka and going back to the trailer.

I stumble inside, then walk to my wardrobe, looking at my clothes. I won't hide. I won't let other people see this change me or make me weak. So, I put on an extra slutty outfit, too slutty, extremely slutty. A lace lingerie bra, a tight, leather mini skirt with fishnet stockings and my combat boots. I put on my jacket, put a cigarette in my mouth then make my way back to the Wyrm. I walk inside and all eyes turn on me, some shocked, some hungry. I take off my jacket, throwing it on to the ground. My chest is on show for everyone, along with my legs.

"Body shots anyone?" I suggest, drinking the last drop from my vodka bottle.

Toni POV

I walk into the Wyrm, the guys are howling, cheering, standing around a pool table. I rush over confused, then find Mustang doing a shot that sits between Casey's boobs. Which are in a very provocative bra, her skit so short I can see up it as she is laid down. By the state of her face, she is drunk off her mind. I push through, grabbing Mustang and shoving him away.
