Queen of the Serpents- [Sweet Pea] // Riverdale

11

*Natalie's POV

"You think you can attack us from the shadows. But Riverdale is a lot stronger than you. And we're not afraid. See, there's only one of you. But we are a legion. We're called the Red Circle and we're coming for you."

"Shut this shit off," I got up from the lunch table closing the laptop, having heard enough of Archie's stupidity.

"Not a chance princess, I want to see what this Northsider has got to say." Sweet Pea opened up the laptop again and pressed play.

"And we're coming for you. We will find you." I stood behind Sweet Pea still watching with my hands on my hips. How stupider could Archie get?

"Hey, I'm guessing we're not watching funny cat videos." I looked up and saw Jughead.

"Check this out," Sweet Pea turned the computer around so Jughead could see. "Some sick in the head Northsider posted a crazy ass video... and we were just talking..."

"About what," Jughead interrupted.

"Fogarty here," Sweet Pea patted Fangs' back. "Wants to earn his serpent stripes. I say bring us the head of that Northsider, and you're in." You see Fangs has been a serpent for a while now but he still hasn't proven himself yet. It's as if he just barely joined and he's been wanting to change that for a while now.

"I'm down with that." He said looking straight at Jughead as if he was trying to prove himself to Jug.

"No, guys don't," Jug rushes.

"What Jones," Sweet Pea asked getting annoyed.

"I know this guy, he's a-a-a milquetoast. He's a football player. It's kind of a lame target, is all I'm saying. You wanna prove something? Why don't you go after the Black Hood?" He tried convincing them but it wasn't working.

"And why would we do that?" Sweet Pea said in disbelief. "The Black Hood's been targeting Northsiders, who do nothing but blame the Southside for everything with what's wrong with this town." Sweet Pea pointed out. "And we're sick of it," he spat. Sweet Pea has one thing right, and it was the fact that whatever the hell happened in this crazy ass of a town we were blamed for it. "The Black Hood's doing our work for us. He's a hero, isn't that right princess," he turned to look at me for approval.

"Don't be so stupid Sweet Pea," I walked over to stand by Jughead. "There's no way in hell I'm gonna let Fangs go after that damn red head."

"And why not," Sweet Pea slammed his fists on the table.

"Because I said so," I gritted through my teeth. "And that's final." I stared him down for a few seconds. I grabbed Jughead's arm roughly making him wince I dragged him out of the cafeteria.

"You have a hell lot of explaining to do," I let Jughead go as we turned the corner.

"Jug, I'm coming in, you better be decent," I yelled as I opened his trailer door. I looked around and it was quiet. I went to check his room and saw him sleeping. I went back into the kitchen and grabbed some food. I was pouring myself some cereal when there was knocking coming from the door. I heard footsteps and saw Jughead walk out of his room.

"Jesus Nat, what the hell are you doing here." The knocking continued. He went to open the door as I grabbed milk from the fridge and sat down at the table.

"Betty?" He opened the door. "What time is it," he asked looking back at the clock.

"7:15." I answered opening the milk

"I wanted to catch you before school," she kissed Jughead.

"Please, I would like to at least eat my cereal before I puke." I spoke up as she walked in.
