Everyone was at the whyrm as usual, sitting on the stairs with Klaus. My phone started ringing, seeing it was dad. "Dad, what's up?"

"We've got the head, Juggy, Betty and I. We're about to walk in, are they still doing the vote?"

"Yeah, Klaus and I are on the stairs. It's shit in here."

"Stop the vote."

"Got it, see you in a bit." Hanging up, I pulled myself up to my feet using the railing. Klaus following behind, seeing Dad, Jug and Betty walk in with General Pickens head. "Stop the damn vote!" I exclaimed, Klaus and I stood by dad's side. Dad sat Tallboy down, Jughead filling Klaus and I in. Telling us that the junk yard guy saw Tallboy hide the head in a freezer.

"What the hell were you doing at the dump last week, Tallboy?" Dad questioned Tallboy, sitting behind him.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Tallboy replied.

"I'm talking about you cutting the head off the statue and stashing it at the dump where you were seen, dumbass." Dad said as I added.

"So, start spilling." I folded my arms.

"Why did you do it!?" Jug exclaimed. "Someone put you up for this?"

"What's the Northsider doing here?" Tallboy asked. "This is serpent business on serpent land."

"She's here because she's one of us." I begun, Jug looked to me. Mouthing, thank you. Nodding towards him, my attention landed back on Tallboy. "You haven't answered my brothers question:why'd you do it?" I spat.

"Because I'm tired of seeing the serpents going soft under your rule." Dad looked at me, as I just shook my head. "Then Hiram Lodge." As soon as that name came out of his mouth, I clenched my jaw. Feeling Klaus hand on my shoulder. "Came by, wanting to stir up trouble. He said if I took the head, he'd get McCoy and the cops to swarm all over us. Cause chaos."

"So, Hiram Lodge asked you to start a mutiny and you helped him? Why?" Jughead questioned, watching Tallboy lean towards jug slightly.

"I figured it would be my chance to get rid of you, sunshine. And if I got rid of him, I could get rid of Lucifer, Klaus... you aswell Fp." Dad jumped to his feet.

"And then, what, you'd become leader?"

"He and the bitch of a thing Penny." I started, walking to my brothers side. "You're a Judas, Tallboy. And an idiot."

"You betrayed your own kind, Tallboy. You broke serpent law. What should we do with this lowlife?" Dad called out to everyone.

"What do you say, queen?" Jug looked to me, raising my head up slightly. Looking down at Tallboy. I simplified replied saying.

"Strip him of his jacket. Exile him."

"All those in favour?" Dad called out again, seeing everyone's hand go up in the bar. I smirked, humming in a laughing tone. Dad lowered his voice, leaning down to Tallboys ear. "Looks like this piece of trash and I got a long ride ahead of us."

Dad left with Tallboy, leaving the Whyrm in the hands of Klaus and I. Klaus and I watched our kingdom from above, people laughing and drinking. Playing pool, the traditional weekend night. "I have a lot to live up to from your father, Jesus Christ that man knows how to put these people in line."

"Dad's been doing this for ages, you've been doing great. Dad told me that we've been doing fine. Don't forget how you stood up for me when dad first went away." He laughed at that memory.

"No one treats my girl like that." I smiled. "But I'm impressed, how you, jug and your dad work together. It's gonna get weirder when there is a little one running around."

"This Family is weird enough already." I started, seeing Jug socialising with Sweetpea and Toni.

"Having a baby around will probably be the most normal thing around here in a while."

"You might have a point there." On the ground, where the young prince admired his girl coming back into the room form going to the bathroom. Sweetpea started a new conversation.

"Your sister and brother in law, they are literally made for one another." Jughead knew that Sweetpea didn't have a lot of drinks, but they were harsh. Heavy.

"Yeah, they've been like that since they first met as kids." The young prince replied to him, hearing his sister burst into laughter. Along with his brother in law, he looked up to where the two watched from above. Like the king and queen they were born to be, all he could do was smile at the sight of them together.

"Hey." Betty broke Jughead from his trance. "I wanted to thank your sister, of what she said with the whole Tallboy situation."

"No need to, Lucifer... she says that sort of things when she means it. If you're worried, that she only said that to keep Tallboy quiet. She doesn't work like that, she didn't only say it for me. She said it for you, to reassure you."

"Of what?" The girl next door narrowed her eyebrows.

"That she accepts and respects you, which is a pretty big deal with her." Toni told the secret of the devil to her. "That means, that those two. If you need them, they'll help you."
