Dark Secrets, Big Lies |Toni Topaz|

【Ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ ２７ （Ｐａｒｔ １）】

After an hour long drive we are about to pull up to the Wyrm. It's been a long few weeks of planning and I'm praying it goes well. "Ready dad?" He looks at me "ready baby girl." I purposely walk a little behind him as he opens the door. "WELCOME HOME FP!!"

Everyone yells as they pop confetti cannons he looks shocked. I go to his side and Jughead is front and center. "You think we would welcome the Serpent King home without a party?" I jokingly ask my dad.

Jughead walks towards my dad "welcome home old man, I missed you." He says bringing my dad in for a hug "missed you too son more than you'll know."

I look to the side and see Toni standing with Fangs, Sweet Pea, Kato, Duke and Alexa. I walk over to them and I grab Toni by the waist bringing her lips to mine "thank you for helping babe." She kisses me back "you're welcome baby." "And thank you guys it means a lot that you guys have worked so hard doing this for me. I appreciate it." I say giving my crew a hug. "You're welcome" they all respond.

Archie, Betty, Veronica and Kevin are all here celebrating my dad's return home. It means a lot having everyone I love all in one room right now. My dad begins catching up with all of the Serpents. Then I introduce him to our newest young Serpents. "Dad these are the newest members of the Serpents this is Love, Kato, Duke, Ashland, Heathen and Ronin and of course Jughead. And obviously you remember Fangs, Sweet Pea and Toni Topaz."

My dad shakes all of their hands welcoming them to the Serpents "and Toni Topaz the reason for my baby girls happiness. You better treat my Princess right young lady." He jokingly tells Toni, she smiles "yes sir, I will. She treats me with nothing but respect she makes me incredibly happy." He looks at me "good that's what I want to hear." The night progresses we are all drinking having a good time.

My dad walks to the stage and grabs the mic "alright can I get everyone's attention for a few minutes." The bar becomes completely silent. "As you all know I've been locked up the last few years on proven falsified charges. I didn't think I would even walk out of that prison. But here I am, being in there it made me think. I love this club, I love all of you standing here today. Jade, Jughead come on up here kids." I look at Toni, and Jughead. I honestly don't even know what's going on right now.

Jughead and I make our way through the crowd. "These two are the Serpents legacy, but most importantly my legacy. When I was away my baby girl held down the fort, she was successful in initiating the new generation of Serpents. And my son finally became a full fledged member and I never thought that day would come. Even though I made my mistakes these two and my little jellybean who isn't here right now. They are my greatest accomplishment."

He stops talking for a minute "which is why I've come to the decision to pass my crown over and to start something new. My baby girl Jade Noelle Jones you are now Serpent Queen. And the Serpents as a whole are yours. Each and every member young and old will now answer to you." The bar goes ballistic with cheers, and whistles. "Redbeard bring it out." Out comes Redbeard with a gift box. My dad grabs it and hands it to me. "Open it baby girl."

I do as I'm told and open it. In the box are two new Serpent jackets with a new Serpent logo that has a crown laying on top of the Serpent head. With my signature studs added onto them. But the second one blows me away same style jacket but this one is all red leather (sorry Blossom fans that jacket is Jade's in this story 😉)

I want to cry I don't believe that I'm the new leader of the Serpents. I knew the day was going to come eventually, but not right now. I give my dad the biggest hug "thank you Dad" I say trying to hold back my tears.

"You earned this baby girl. I'm so fucking proud of you and I'm so fucking proud to be your old man." He whispers to me. My dad takes the mic in his hand again "now with that she chooses her right hand, who is her second in command." This was an easy choice he hands the mic to me. "Sweet Pea and Fangs come up here." I say pointing to them both. They look at each other and quickly make their way to the stage.

"I know tonight is a historic move for the Serpents having a woman as leader. I'm going to continue the historic move. Sweet Pea is my second in command and Fangs is my third in command. When I'm not around you will listen to and obey them. This has never been done before, but these two have helped me so much and I wouldn't be standing here without them." I say looking at them both.

 "There will be more historic moves soon to come, and there even might be a Serpent Duchess at my side soon." Looking at Toni and she blushes "She's talking about you Topaz" Fangs says as he's cupping his hands together for a louder tone.

Everyone laughs. My dad takes the mic again "and one more thing the Wyrm now solely belongs to our new Serpent Queen. Which means she can do whatever she wants with this. Turn this into an even more legitimate bar. Knock it down rebuild, change the name. This is yours. Once again show your Serpent Queen some fucking love!!!" My dad screams in the mic. The bar goes wild again.

I can't believe what just happened I own the bar fully, my friends became my second and third in command...And I'm the new fucking Serpent Queen!
