CHAPTER 3

Kitty handed her helmet to Pea once she hopped off his bike. They had finally dragged themselves to the Whyte Wyrm, after some fornication in the shower of course. She ran her hands through her blonde hair, trying to flatten out the helmet hair, until a large hand landed on top of her head, and proceeded to tangle her locks once more.

"Seriously Pea?" He just smirked at her as she once again proceeded to fix her hair.

"What? You look cute like that." With a well served side eye, she bumped her hip into his but that was a rookie error. Sweet Pea grabbed her by the shoulders, and wrapped a long leather-clad arm around her. In vail she tried to shrug him off her, but he was not having any of it.

"Pea, cmon people are gonna talk." Her voice was kept low, and she would of almost looked shy if it wasn't for the rowdy group hanging outside of the bar, whom all greeted the two as they walked past.

The two had already gained a lot of respect from both young and old serpents. Kitty, because she was the daughter of a very valuable and very powerful member. Not only that, but she took no shit from no one. Her bite was just as bad as her bark, and most members had been witness to that, earning her a nickname that she wasn't fond of - the reputation alongside it - but we'll come to that later. 

Pea, on the other hand, had worked up the ranks since he was very young. Getting involved when he was just 13, joining at the age of 14. His loyalty was unwavering, and he followed the serpent rules more than he followed the rules of the law. This was his family, after all. After his father left them when he was younger, his mother became dependent on drugs and alcohol. When he tried to help, she kicked him out. He couch surfed from there for a few weeks, only to receive the phone call from the police saying they had found her body in a back alley. Overdosed. Since then, the boy had relied on the serpents. They were there for him when he needed it, and so he was there for them. FP had taken a strong liking to Sweet Pea, which meant the rest of the serpents did too.

"People already talk." He scoffed, "Since when do you care about what people think?"

Now, it was her turn to scoff. "I don't. You know I don't." He laughed, pushing the doors open allowing them entrance.

"Aw, you're not embarrassed are you?" His finger brushed over the marked spot on her neck. "Of this?"

Kitty pushed his finger away, "Fuck you, I nearly used half a tube of concealer trying to hide this thing."

"Yeah, well, didn't really do much of a good job."

"Screw you, Pea." He only held her closer, and wore a proud smirk.

"Well, look whose finally decided to show up." There, perched upon a bar stool, with a glass of whiskey in his hand sat FP Jones - the leader of the Southside Serpents.

Whilst Penny and FP didn't have the best of relationships, Kitty was well liked by the leader and he in return. FP, back when he was still with his wife, often looked after Kitty when her Mom was out of town. She remembered his kids, Jughead and Jellybean, though Jellybean was only a toddler when she had last seen her, often following the two older kids around and trying to copy of everything they did. As for Jughead, she hadn't seen him in years. When Gladys moved away and Kitty no longer required watchful eyes, the two grew apart. Jughead went to school at Riverdale High on the Northside, whereas she went to Southside High. According to FP, he moved out and had been living on his own for awhile. It was suspected that the boy had no interest in the Serpents, which was surprising, as most followed in their parents footsteps.

"What's up, FP?" Pea said, "Fangs said you needed me." FP nodded, standing up he waved his hand instructing the younger serpent to follow him. He unwrapped his arm, and did as instructed.
