"What happened to your face?" I asked, holding Sweetpeas as fangs stood beside him. Everyone else just continuing their normal life in the bar.

"Your boy Andrews done this to me." He explained, narrowing my eyebrows. He winced as I held his jaw wrong.

"What did you do?"

"We were in a brawl, then Andrews Mrs came and shot a bullet into the air." Fangs added, my eyebrows shot up. Seeing how sore they were, I wasn't going to keep nagging.

"You guys just go play pool, chill." I told them to do. Beginning to walk away, I grabbed them by the scruff of their shirts. "Never do that again, you hear?" Them nodding, I started heading upstairs. I stopped hearing Sweetpea say.

"I think this Northsiders lost."

"I'm not." Jug. "I'm over being half a serpent." I turned to face the crowd, while standing on the top of the stairs. I held back my big sister instincts to step in.

"Wow. You'll do anything to protect your Northside buddies." Sweetpea said as he nudged jugs shoulder walking past him.

"My father was a serpent. He lead you. My sister is the queen and she leads us now. I wanna stand with you guys." I smiled at him, knowing he was unaware I was in the bar. I never knew who gave him that jacket. "Tall boy was the one who gave me this jacket. It's finally time I start wearing it." Tall boy then slowly approached my brother, my gut knotted.

"So, now you wanna be a serpent, huh?" Tallboy begun. "Let's see if you survive the initiation first." While Tallboy walked away, Jugheads eyes scanned around the room and soon landed to me. Seeing somewhat fear in his eyes as not knowing what the initiation is.

The next day came around, where the sound of the front main door opened. Followed by little pity patter after, along with the clunk of a pair of boots. Walking around the stairs, my eyes widen seeing hot dog come charging at me with a wagging tail. "Hey boy." I smiled, crouching down to pat him.

"So this is the beast." Jug started, I smiled amused.

"Well, everyone has to take care of hotdog. There was two other hotdogs before this one, so it's kinda ironic with you." I explained, him huffing at the comment.

"Did you and Klaus have to take care of a hotdog?" He quizzed.

"Oh yes we did, cause your sister and I were basically destined to be with one another. We had to take care of hotdog together." Klaus said as he came down the stairs, patting hotdog as I stood back up.

"I was wondering if you guys could take of him here while I'm at school?" He asked.

"Yeah of course Jug, now go before you're late. I'll see you at the whyrm tonight when you do the laws. Toni's going to help you after school." I added at the end.

"Got it, thank you!" Watching while the little prince left, the queen and king took care of the beast till the prince returned to fetch the beats back. Gatherings all back at the whyrm, where the king left for the night to go and visit his father. I stood beside Toni, watching as Tallboy and Jug screamed the laws in each other's faces. Impressed on how quickly he learnt all the laws, Tall boy explaining the next part of the initiation, after Jugs hand got bitten. Squeezing Toni's shoulder, I whispered in her ear.

"Well done." Her rubbing my hand with her thumb, watching as Jug walked over to me. His hand drawing of blood, I smiled seeing his face pale. "It's ok, baby brother. The snakes venom has been drawn out, way before you were born. Come with me to wrap it." I held his hand, him following me to behind the bar. Getting him to sit on the bench top, it reminded me of the times he would fall off his skateboard or bike. Coming to me in tears with blood dripping off of him.

"Where's Klaus?" Jug questioned, while I searched for the anti bacterial dressing.

"He's gone to visit his dad in prison, for the first time in like 11 years." I replied, standing back up.

"Is he with dad?"

"Nope, way worse. Bigger and badder prison." I explained, him nodding understandably. "Which means we can watch one of our movies tonight."

"Finally." He laughed, wincing at the anti bacterial.

"Sorry baby." I stated, drying it off before I wrapped it.

"Awww, that's sweet. Getting your big sister to wrap your wound." Sweetpea said over the bar.

"You're just jealous." Jug replied to him, I smirked to myself.

"Shut the hell up Sweetpea, or I'll knock you out and get Tallboy to stitch you up." I added, him putting his hands up in surrender. He walked off, Jug and I laughed aloud.

"This shows why you're my favourite human." Jug begun, getting off the bench. "Wanna head home?"
