Riley's POV

"Riley, wake up!" FP Says coming into my room. "You have an interview with news this morning before you get initiated." I roll out of bed.

"Why?" I asked.

"Cause your a frickin hero!" JugHead yells from his room and I laugh. I go to the kitchen to see FP has already made breakfast and I grab a piece of toast.

"Get dressed they will be here at 11. Try to look nice Okay, leave your hair down?" He asks hopefully. I nod its only for an interview. I go into my room and pull on a yellow and white striped long sleeve and a pair of dark blue jeans. The news person should be here in about an hour. So I texted Sweet Pea to kill time.

Riley:
Hey

Sweet Pea:
Hey what's up.

Riley:
Getting ready for a news interview.

Sweet Pea:
Oh funn 🙄

Riley:
Well after today I'll be a serpent 100%.

Sweet Pea:
Are you sure you wanna do the last thing? It's gonna hurt.

Riley:
100%

"Riley! The news people are here!" FP calls from the kitchen. I laid my phone on my bed and went out to greet them. We were doing the interview at my kitchen table so it wasn't that bad. They asked questions about why I did it and I made every answer seem like I was normal don't need people all over the USA thinking I'm dangerous. After they were done with me they interviewed FP and JugHead for a bit, then left.

Jasmine's POV.

I was sitting in the viewing room of my unparalleled Silicon Valley estate where I lived my whole life when the weirdest thing came on Tv. "Charles!" I called to my butler "get mom for me now!" I sat there watching a girl who killed a serial killer in the town of Riverdale who looks exactly like me. Same eyes, same hair, same face, same body I sat their in shock when my mother walked in.

"What is it dar-" she stopped when she noticed the tv. "Oh honey." She said looking at her confused daughter.

"Do you know this person mom? Who are they?" I asked mad. "Who are those goons with leather jackets on? Also why does she look exactly like me?" Her mother just sat down next to Me and put her face in her hands.

"Those goons are your uncle and I'm assuming your cousin." My mother said not looking at me. " and the girl, she Umm, looks like you Because Umm." She looks up at her me not knowing how to tell me the rest. "That's your twin. Identical twin" my jaw hit the floor.

"Twin? Identical twin?!" I was shocked. "How could you not tell me this whole time I have a twin!? I'm 16 for 16 years there has been someone out their who looks exactly like me!" I was angry. Extremely angry at my mother she started to cry.

"Me and your father," she started.

"Roger?" I questioned because as long as I can remember she has been married to Roger. I was told he was my dad and didn't have to question it til now.

"No." He mother said with a deep sigh. "Roger isn't your father. I got pregnant when I was 17 living in Riverdale. I was dating a guy who's family was part of the southside serpents named JB. We ran away so the gang wouldn't have a part in you or your sisters life. When you guys turned one me and your father got in a very bad argument. I left and took you with me. He kept Riley. He told Riley I died and you Well when I met Roger I just told you he was your real dad to avoid questions." She finished and looked up at me tears running down her face, I was less angry now but still confused.

"Why didn't you take us both?" I asked angry I'd been kept from my sister this long.

"I was 18 I could barely raise one baby let alone two." I hugged my mom.

"Well I want to meet her, and my uncle and cousin." I Said trying to make a wage with her.

"You will okay but not for awhile. I'll talk to Roger and see how he wants to go about this." She said. I nodded, it was better than nothing. "Try not to think about them for now Okay." She said patting me on the back. I needed to process this before I did anything. I have a twin, Roger isn't my real dad and the tv says my twin beat a man to death.

Rileys POV

I was more than ready for the gauntlet. Sure it was gonna hurt a lot but it will prove the most out of all of them that I can be a serpent. And after this I get my jacket.

The news people are long gone and younger members of the gang who do the gauntlet are starting to show up outside my trailer. Sweet Pea comes up and let's him self in.

"Are you sure you wanna do this?" He says worriedly.

"Yes I'm sure cmon lets go!" I say dragging him out of the trailer. The serpents form two lines that are closer together and I have to walked through them while they hit me where ever.

I start and I'm getting punched in the ribs and stomach mostly. I haven't fallen yet but I'm being pushed every which way. A few people swing at my face and get my nose or jaw. They can't knock me out because if they knock me out I fail. I keep going through the tunnel blow after blow my whole body is screaming at me to stop but my mind won't let me. I get to the end to Sweet Pea standing there with brass knuckles on. I stand in front of him waiting for him to hit me. He just stares down at his feet.

"Hit me!" I yelled anxious to finally be done with this. He looks up at me like he is being destroyed inside.

"I can't." He said lowly. "I can't hit you." I'm so discouraged. This is the finish line and I'm not gonna be stopped from being a serpent because of someone's lack of ability.

"Sweet Pea hit me!"  I yelled at him. He could sense my anger. "Hit me or what? Scared? Think I'll kill you too? Hit me god damnit!" I keep yelling at him. He pulls his arm back and hits me right in the side of the face. I feel to the ground but got up right away. I look at Sweet Pea who looks like he is on the verge of tears. I hold out my hand and he takes it. Toni brings me over my jacket and I put it on. Finally I'm a serpent.
