Sorry people this is going to be a short chapter. So so so so so sorry!

"Jug I don't think you should do this!" Kevin said as he and Jughead walked out of the school. Jug was not listening he was already set with his plan, albeit it was a pretty stupid one, even for him.

"I need answers and their's only one person on this Earth that might know something about Mamba. I just hope she doesn't kill me." Jug said as he climbed onto his motorcycle. He wove through traffic until he finally reached the docks.

He hopped off his motorcycle and walked down the the end of the docks and peered into the water, looking at his own reflection.

"Well, look who it is." a female voice said behind him.

He turned around and scowled as Penny Peabody walked onto the docks with a smug look on her face "So, you called me here. So you have five seconds to explain before I snap your neck and..."

"Mamba!" Jug said harshly. Penny stopped talking and stared at him with a calculating look. Eventually she smirked and walked closer until she was right next to him.

"What do you know?" she asked curiously.

Jughead shrugged "Not much just bits and pieces but I want to know if he's dangerous." he asked and Penny scoffed loudly.

"Very, probably more dangerous than a hundred of me, guys a total freak." she said with a smile. Jug didn't like how cheery she was, last time she was like this he regretted it.

He took a deep breath, "What's his name?" he asked and that's when Penny started laughing.

"Oh no that's not how this going to work, see I'm going to need something. Something that will guarantee you're cooperation." she said with a knowing smile.

Jug groaned he knew it would come to this "What do you want Peabody?! Let's stop playing games!" he growled.

She grinned "Since you tried to take me down, I want your word that you will tell me everything the Serpents are planning. Don't want any surprises in the near future, bad for business."

Jughead glared at her "Forget it! You think I'll betray my own!? You got another thing coming then!"

"Fine then I guess the Mamba will hurt your family...or will he?" she said with a victorious grin.

Jughead ran a hand through his hair unsure of what he should do, on one hand it was hurting the Serpents on the other hand his family might be in danger.

"I...I guess...I choose..." he never finished.

BANG

Jug freaked out as he looked at Penny, who had a look of shock on her face. Blood was seeping out of her stomach, she stumbled forward and then lost her footing. She hit the water and immediately started to sink into the murky depths.

Blood pooled at the top and Jug was simply paralyzed until he heard the laughter. The very same laughter he heard the other night, he turned and standing at the end of the docks was Mamba holding a smoking gun.

He walked to where Jughead was standing and stared at the bloody water, then he took something out of his jacket pocket. A snake head, a Black Mamba snake head.

He placed it on one of the pillars of the pier and then he turned to face Jug. He caught a glimpse of some sort of pendant around his neck before his jacket covered it again.

His glasses were above his eyes so the dark green of his eyes seemed to stare through the teenager. After a few seconds Mamba gave a sideways smirk that scared Jug more than Penny.

"Live a Serpent. Die a Serpent." he said laughing before he started down the docks and back into the woods. Jug recovered his senses and quickly ran after him.

"Hey! Wait up Mamba!" he shouted but the older teen picked up his pace through the trees. When he finally caught up to Mamba he placed a hand on his shoulder.

Mamba quickly grabbed his hand and flipped him over his shoulder. Jug was on the ground coughing and groaning, he snapped out of it when Mamba placed his knee on Jugs chest.

"Never, ever, EVER touch me. Do not follow me, or I won't be responsible for what I might do!" he said giving him a vicious glare. Jughead nodded in fear and the older Serpent just snarled and ran down the path and out of sight.

Jughead gasped a little before he opened his palm...
