I struggled and struggled against the hands of the serpent wrapped around my torso and the rope touching the back of my hands. My screams for Malachai were muffled by the hand that I soon bit, making the guy yelp.
The car that I was thrown in was small, but made me notice there was one more person that had been there to take me. A girl. Some northsiders or something.
I heard them talking and something about "I can't believe we're doing this" until one reached back and pressed a rag to my nose and mouth. The dark slowly floods my eyes.
I knew why they did this. Northsiders and serpents just had to stop us Ghoulies. I was only bate, and soon fair game. When we took Toni from Cheryl it was like me being taken from "Hobgoblin".

I woke up in an uncomfortable position on a soft bed with a warm light giving me eyes around the room. I shrugged my body onto my back and saw the girl and boy on either side of the bed. I closed my eyes and pressed my head back into the bed in defeat and frustration.
"Uhm... Hi. My names Jughead. And this is Betty." The beanie head on my left spoke first, then pointing to the pleasant looking girl.
"Hey.. uh.. we're sorry we had to do this..." Betty started.
"Why me?" I whispered, interrupting the blond.
"You.. you're practically the queen of the ghoulies. When they took Toni we needed a way of getting her back. We thought you would be the best... uh.."
"Bait." I finished for the serpent prince, smirking from the description he gave me of their queen.
Betty obviously didn't like the tense air and changed the conversation.
"D-Do you need anything? Like water?" She asked with painful eyes. I could tell she was scared but also sad.
"Any vodka?" I asked eyebrows raised. Her eyes widened and I laughed mentally.
She walks out and brings in a glass. "What are you gonna feed me like a baby?" I ask snickering not letting the awkward tension fill the room anymore. I stick out my tongue and open my mouth playful as I sit up.
"Juggy, we can untie her.." blondie said. My eyes widen with surprise but not in excitement. I had no intention of trying anything on them. I was honestly chillin.
The serpent untied me carefully while watching my every move as Betty handed me the glass and exited the room again.
"Quite a leader you are Jones. Taking risks for the serpents huh?"
He didn't give any recognition to the statement. Just narrowed his eyes.
I laid back on the head board of the bed and took a swig, enjoying the burn that road down my throat.
"Why aren't you being more like a ghoulie would be?" He asked stupidly.
"More like a ghoulie? I'm their queen." Smiling softly but soon remembering what's happening. The one thing on my mind was Malachai.
I decided to fulfill his question. "Why would I fight when it's all fair play? I know what's going to happen and you do as well. Your serpent chick will go back to you guys and I'll go back to my guys. Simple."
I finished off the glass and set it on the pink nightstand. I wonder how the girl's mother will react when finding that.

Soft rock played through the serpents home while I swung my head and sat on a pool table drinking. I felt everyone's stares. Surprisingly Jones is pretty trustworthy of me to just sit and stare at a wall.
