Burn The City With Me [Part One]

Introduction

Annabelle Vivian Pierce was a fifteen–year–old girl living in Riverdale with her father on the Northside of the tracks. Though they lived on the Northside, the Pierce family wasn't considered normal. Her father at one point, was apart of a gang on the Southside, known as the Southside Serpents. When he met the love of his life, he had left to be with her on the Northside, as she refused to leave. When the couple got married, they were only ages nineteen and twenty, but they were together until the day Vivian, Annabelle's mother, passed away. This left Annabelle under the care of her father, though the two had only grown closer.

Jackal Pierce, also known as Jack or JP, had graduated from Riverdale High school the year before Vivian did, and the two had been together since middle school, though Vivian's parents weren't the most accepting about her being with a Serpent they were supportive when they watched him leave the gang life to be with her. He got a job with her brother–in–law working construction, but before it had opened, Jackal was a cook at Pops Chock'Lit Shoppe, and tattoo artist on the Southside.

Hence, where Annabelle had gotten her tattoos from, in her kitchen by her father. She had four of them, her first one was a small sunflower on her left, outer ankle. The second was on her right, lower calf of a snake, representing her first pet that she ever had, Moon was the boa constrictors name. The third tattoo was on her wrist in type writer font reading 'HONEY', just a simple word that represented her father to her, as he calls her his little Bee. Her last tattoo was for her mother, on her right shoulder blade, simple wording with her birth and death year.

Vivian Georgia Pierce was a simple woman. She lived with her parents and sister, Mary, until she moved out to be with Jackal. Vivian had ginger hair, and beautiful green eyes, with freckles placed about her skin perfectly. The women so madly in love with a snake, had convinced him to leave and be with her, though they were the only family he ever had after being dropped off at the Whyte Wyrm, the bar the Serpents ran. After hearing out from his mother and father, he wasn't angry at them for leaving him, giving them a better life then the one they had, but from the outside looking in, it looked like a worse life then it was.

Vivian Pierce had died in mid–January, a few months before her daughter had turned thirteen. Vivian had been headed home from working a night shift at the Riverdale Hospital, being a Doctor kept her with long hours sometimes. She had been hit by a semi whose breaks unexpecting had gone out. She had only stayed in the hospital for three days before her heart had failed and they couldn't restart it. Her sister, Mary, was a lawyer and fought for the man to be kept out of prison. Nobody had blamed him, though the court was trying. He and his wife had paid for the women's hospital bills and part of her funeral, to try and help the family.

Annabelle's aunt Mary and uncle Fred had split up two years ago, and Mary left Riverdale to go further in life, and she wasn't angry at her, they wrote constantly and spoke on the phone frequently. Fred, though not her real uncle, was the best uncle in the whole world to her. Being as recent as these activities were, they were still married legally.

Annabelle expressed herself through dancing. She was a cheerleader, along with one of her closest friends, Cheryl Blossom the HBIC. Though that wasn't the only dancing she had done. She dances alone, as well as sometimes attending the dance studio in Riverdale, welcome for Northsiders, Southsiders, and even a few right–out side of the town attended occasionally.

Annabelle had been waitressing at Pop's Chock'Lit Shoppe over summer, and would continue through school, doing anything she could to keep her job, which was her secret haven, and the same place she had become extremely close with Jughead Jones.
