Fangs hasn't said a thing and he can't make his eyes meet mine. "Did you two really get into a fight?" I ask in disbelief. Finally Fangs looks up and scoffs.

"Yeah" he mutters and looks down again.

"Alright—listen, I could leave right now, and just tell Sweet Pea we talked—but I don't want to, we need to talk, Fangs. I don't care if you still hate me afterwards—you need to ask your questions and I have to answer and explain" I say, something's finally happening.

"Fine! Sit your ass down, you're giving me a headache" Fangs snaps and I sit down in front of him in his table and he moves up.

"Shoot" I say as Fangs opens his mouth and closes again. "When?" He asks and looks at me. I take a deep breath and tell him.

"My dad is a Serpent. I've always been a Serpent—I got my tattoo 3 years ago, special made obviously. A place where not many would look" I say and nod, Fangs nods a bit then raises an eyebrow.

"Why did you become a Serpent? You have a choice" He asks. "I wanted to" I simply say. There's no real explanation for it, I just wanted to.

"Why didn't you tell me? You knew sooner or later I would see it—considering I've seen you shirtless a few times, and I didn't see it—you should have known that I notice it" Fangs says with a bit anger in his tone.

"I didn't know how to, as you said yourself a while ago—I'm a rich ass bitch—who's secretly a Serpent, if you look at me you won't see a Serpent, I don't look like a Serpent. Maybe I'm not even fit for a Serpent. But I wanted to tell you, I was afraid—I've never got that close with a guy I actually cared this much about, my dad made sure of that—it was never a problem until I met you" I say and our eyes lock once again.

"Sooner or later I would see you naked and what would your explanation be then? 'Oh yeah, btw I'm a Serpent!' Doesn't really sound that great" Fangs retorts and mocks my voice.

"I know" I say and look down in defeat. "Is that all? I know? You're not gonna try harder?" Fangs asks in disbelief and anger.

"I've got no explanation—Fangs, what do you want me to say? I need you! I want you! I care too goddamn much to let you go—" Fangs cut me off by grabbing my chin and force his lips onto mine.

I kiss back and he pulls me onto his lap and throw the icepack on the table.

After a few minutes we part for air, we're both panting, I trace my finger along his bruised cheek, he looks up with those sweet eyes.

"Before you cut me off—I wanted to say, I don't know what the problem is, you're a Serpent—I'm a Serpent, I'm only getting away with not becoming a Serpent in the future—because I already am one. And I know if I wasn't a Serpent now—I would become one, for you" I half whisper and Fangs shut his eyes and he leans his forehead against mine before opening his eyes and looking into mine.

"You're right. But that whole changing and putting yourself in danger—needs to stop. You can't do that for me, I won't ask you to, ever" Fangs says and I just kiss him to shut him up.

He doesn't get to decide what I can do and what I can't do. I take his leather jacket off and then his flannel shirt, then his shirt, I trace my fingers across his chest and he kisses me.

I let my hand run through his hair and stay in it. The other hand I traced along his tattoo, Fangs pulls away from the kiss and without warning he strips me off my jacket and shirt.

I sit back in a bra and he tilt his head a bit and sees my tattoo. He grabs my chin again and connect our lips.

More clothes are scattered across his trailer and we end up in his bedroom.

At noon Fangs and I head towards the Whyte Wyrm. Hand in hand with loving eyes on each other.

"You're walking differently" Fangs whispered in my ear as we got in and kissed my temple after.

"That's your fault!" I scold and give him a playful look and he blushes a bit as he looks down.

"Hey, lovebirds! Are you two okay?" Toni asks as she comes up to us. Fangs and I look at each other with a smile. "Yeah—we're okay" Fangs says and I nod.

"That's great—now next time! Control yourselves please, Sweet Pea and I could hear you two when we passed your trailer" Toni says. Fangs eyes widen and so does mine. Oh no, that's gonna awkward as hell.

"You know what? Second thoughts—I'm just gonna go home" I say and turn around only to be pulled back by Fangs and my cheeks redden.

"That's okay, some people just can't control your animalistic side—you two obviously can't" Toni says. Geez, thank you, Topaz, was that supposed to make me feel better?

"Shut it, Toni—or else everyone in this bar, will know how loud you are when bring boys and girls home" Fangs says and points his finger at her and his other arm around me.

"Ohhh, huh Toni? I think there's something you want to tell me" I say and wiggle my brows, Toni scoffs at Fangs and glares at him, before making a sign with her hands that she's backing down.

After spending time with the Serpents and Fangs, I get a call from my mom, that reminded me of the weird call she gave me yesterday.

She told me I could come home now. So, I said goodbye to everyone and drove home.

I walked inside and it felt out of place inside, it was cold, dark—almost empty? "Mom?" I call out and walk further into the living room.

"Mariah?" I call out.

"Maia! Thank god! Did anyone follow you? Except Charles, of course?" My mom asks as she appears from the side and brings me into a hug. How did I almost forget about Charles?

"No—I don't think so, mom what's going on? The weird call last night? What's that about?" I ask worried and she pulls away and holds my shoulders.

"Alright, I don't want to scare you, baby—but, Clay was here yesterday, he wanted to find you—know that I know what he wants—I can keep him from getting it" mom says and I raise an eyebrow confused.

"What does he want?" I ask. "You" she says without hesitation.

"He wants you to join his criminal business. He wants to see the rest of this family destroyed—but you're a Serpent—He can't hurt you or get you into those business as long as you're a Serpent, Honey—He's gonna lose" she says and I open my mouth only to close it in confusion.

"What? How will that keep him away? It almost just cost me my boyfriend—he found out from someone else" I say confused.

"Honey—you're in a gang, Clay can't work with that, if he wants you in the business" my mom says with a side smirk.

"But mom....you're not a Serpent" I realise in worry. "No, I am not" my mom says and sighs.

"What are you gonna do?" I ask. "I'm gonna need you to move in with someone for a few weeks, I have to get this under control—he can get into our house, you can't stay here" my mom says and starts pacing back and forth.

"Are you really throwing me out of our house?" I ask in disbelief. "No—Honey, I'm not throwing you out—I'm buying us time! Can you stay with your boyfriend? Or—or that girl—What was her name? Veronica? Or Becky" My mom asks.

"It's Betty—mom, and no—I can't what would I tell them?" I ask and follow my mom upstairs as she starts walking up to my room.

"Tell them that we got into an argument and that I threw you out" she answers simply.

"This is going too fast, mom—""—Pack a large bag, Honey—start now" she interrupts and she throws a big bag out form my closet and onto my bed, before she rips my walk-in closet doors open.

She throws my Serpent jacket at my face and throws clothes and underwear and all she knows I'll need, into the bag.

"Mom! Stop!!" I yell and rip the jacket off my face. She stops and turns to me.

"I'm sorry, honey. I'm scared to death, okay?! Will you please do this for me? Call me every day and I will see you, but just, please—don't stay here. Get a break" My mom pleads.

"Alright, but what if he comes after you?" I ask and put on the Serpent jacket. Damn—it feels right! No! Bad timing!

"He won't. I'm no use for him" my mom says and zips my bag after she puts my charger into the bag.

"There—call me and tell me where you're staying, okay?" She says and I nod before she press a kiss to my temple and she grabs my bag and we head to my car.

"I love you, honey, that's why I'm doing this—you'll be safe with your friends" my mom assures me and I nod before hugging her.

A/N: Dramatic chapter!
Will Clay get his hands on Maia?
Who will Maia go to? The Serpents or the Northsiders?

THEORIES!

Also! Can we talk about theories on the last episode? Do you really think that Fangs is dead? And that Jughead is dead?

I don't think Fangs is dead because it felt off when FP told the others that he was gone. It kinda sounded like he changed his mind about what he was gonna say in last second! And I think that Joaquin was in the hospital with Fangs and got him out of town. Then FP told the others he's dead and they wouldn't go look for him.

And I don't know if Jughead is really dead because on instagram I saw a post that was leaked and there was a picture of Jughead, with flowers around it like there is at a funeral.....and he didn't exactly look alive when FP walked out with him.....so, do you think he's alive or dead?

Please! Write your theories and let me see what you've got!
