Shell sighs, glancing around in a bar that she had stumbled upon in Knockturn Alley. It was filled with deatheaters of the past and still a bunch of their followers but she shrugged this off, ordering a butterbeer causing an emotionless chuckle to pass through the lips of the bartender. Shell supposed that they either didn't serve that there or no one ever ordered that.
Sure enough, he brought her two firewhiskys and she raises an eyebrow at him but he walks off to his next customer. Taking one of the shot glasses into her hands she swallows the entire thing and sets it aside causing the man to her left to stare at her slightly shocked. Shell glares at him and he bitterly laughs turning away.
It had been a while since she seen Riyann that night. She had a feeling this would happen. It looked like she was avoiding Shell completely and it made her heart shatter. She said she loved her and she poured her heart out to Riyann out that night. And now, she hadn't seen her in over two weeks. After this thought she finishes the second firewhisky and slamming the shotglass onto the bar. [/size] |

[[Oooooo, more threadieness for me lol ^^]]
Taking quiet steps down the alley way I sighed softly. I didn't know how I ended up here or why I was here. I hated this place more than anything, but it wasn't like some one was going to pop out and stab me or use the killing curse. Well it'd suck if that really did happen.
I didn't know what to think anymore, actually. Maybe it'd be something good if someone randomly decided that they had to end someone's life and graciously picked me out of the empty stree and got over with it. Maybe, but not likely. I just didn't want to pick between my husband and his cousin, because, well I was just confused about more than anything. I tried leaving Riley, but my god I think it was probably killing him more than anything, and Shelby, well I didn't know. I just knew I loved them both.
Looking up at the sky I watched angry clouds as they started letting rain fall. And as much as I loved the rain, I didn't think it was a good idea to actually be out in the rain in knockturn alley.
Not my first place of choice at least.
And I felt guilty, just like when I'd started leaving Riley, but it was different this time, I hadn't seen Shell in two weeks, and I dunno, I hadn't been trying to avoid her, but maybe I was.
Hopefully not.
Moving through the rain I stepped through a door and found that it was to a bar and I sighed, I didn't want to be in a bar. Not that I knew I was pregnant and of all sorts the fact that it was where it was.

Shell glances over to see who walked in and sighs. Riyann. She pulls her hood over her head and looks to the bar, knowing that the fabric would cover up even her face and Riyann couldn't see her if she was perhaps looking for her, but she doubted it. Why would she look for her? She had Riley and the girls and she was pregnant.
She orders another drink and feels a man bump into her. "I'm sorry sir." she nods and turns back to her seat, but the man wasn't happy with the situation even though she apologized. "I don't think so lady. You're gonna bump into me you got something else to worry about now." he smirks, pulling her hood off and looking at her arm, chuckling a bit under his breath. "Ah, look boys we got ourselves a fellow deatheater. How should we welcome her?"
Shell sighs taking off her black cloak and dusting off her red blouse and jeans tossing her staightened hair over her shoulders and not bothering to cover up her dark mark. "Fine then." she mutters taking out her wand and drawing it at his face. "Your move." she smirks getting into her stance and completely forgetting that Riyann had walked in. [/size] |

I looked around the bar and thought about how pathetic it looked, yet there were people in here for drinking and fun. I shook my head lightly at it, glad that no one bothered with me as I stepped in, a stranger off the street, though I seemed to fit in with most, having the dark mark on my arm. To bad I was only in here seeking a small shelter from the rain.
I was turning to leave when I heard someone talking about a fellow death eater and turned, hoping he wasn't talking about me.
And he wasn't.
I bit my lip when I saw Shelby and watched her as she pointing her wand at the guys face and I laughed softly, smiling a little at the sight of Shell and how she seemed to be ready to fight. But I just stood back, waiting to see if she'd need any help by people ganging up on her and had my wand in hand as well.

The guy laughs along with a few of his friends that joined his side, all of them smirking and looking her up and down. Shell rolls her eyes at all four of them. She hated when men would underestimating her. It just made her mad. "Well missy. Fighting really isn't my thing. How about a kiss instead?" With that, he pushes her wand hand aside and kisses her full on the mouth until Shell jinxed his mouth so it had a lock on it. She smirks causing his friends to draw their wands as well.
Oh great, now look what you've gotten yourself into Shell.
Holding her wand tight, she moves back into her stance moving her wand to point at each of the guys, having a slight glare in her eyes with no fear although she could have sworn her heart had skipped a few beats.
"What should we do to her guys? Jinx her, cruiciatius curse, maybe just jinx her clothes off and give the whole bar a show." he laughs, along with the rest of the bar. Shell just shakes her head at them and sighs. "I wouldn't do that if I was you. Messing with me is a mistake." she says sternly, causing the man that just spoke to roll his eyes. "Doubt that. Anyone have any objections to having her clothes disappear?" he asks before raising his wand at her and hearing the cheers behind him. [/size] |

I watched the scene before me and shook my head a little. I knew Shell could handle herself. I mean, really, this was probably a piece of cake for her, but still, I could at least making it so it was two against three instead, I mean with the one that had a jinx on his mouth.
Plus I was kind of irked at the lot of them for how they were treating her, and I walked over to her, leaning against the bar behind her. Really I didn't konw what to say to her. I'm sorry for not seeing you the past two weeks? Seemed kind of, well just I don't know.
"I do,." I said softly, not that you know, I didn't mind seeing her once in a while, then raising an eyebrow at the men who were cheering for the guy to take Shelly's clothes off.

Everyone stops cheering and laughing looking over my shoulder at someone who spoke on my behalf. I didn't know anyone in the bar that I seen when I was sitting there for the hour, but Shell was half relieved that she had an ally to help her out of the situation.
Looking over her shoulder, she frowns a bit seeing who it was, Riyann. She just nods and looks back at the men looking back and forth between the two of them. The man that spoke of jinxing her clothes just smiles and waves his wand in Riyann's direction. "And who are you? Her friend, sister, maybe perhaps girlfriend? It takes some guts to stand up to a bunch of guys in knockturn alley miss." he states to her again inclining his head at her as if waiting for a response.
Shell rolls her eyes again and moves slightly in front of Riyann, in a sort of protective way. She didn't want her to get involved with this, especially after haven't seeing her for two weeks. "Leave her out of this. She hasn't done anything to you, nor have I. Besides, who would really want to challenge the Dark Ruby in Knockturn Alley? Now that takes a lot of guts boys." she smirks, twirling her wand a bit in her hand as she let a wicked smile form now instead. After that statement, everyone falls silent just staring at Shell with disbelief.
"Y-you're buffing. There's no way they let her run free." one of the men speak up breaking the quiet room. Shell just laughs, completely out of her normal self and sets her free hand on her hip. "Am I? Why don't you find out, unless you're scared." The men all look at each other with a nervous glint in their eyes debating nonverbally whether or not to drop it or continue with the assult. Shell glances over her shoulder and winks at Riyann before looking back at the guys. [/size] |

I brought my wand up as well after he pointed his in my direction and sighed softly when Shelby stepped infront of me. Not like I'm a baby or anything, sure she's got the whole I'm Ruby thing on her side, but it's not like I'm stupid enough to get myself killed or anything. Or maybe I am.
Listening to them converse I smiled softly at what Shelby was saying and shook my head a little, my wand still out, just not pointing at Shelby's back like it would have been. When I heard the man speak I sort of laughed and just leaned against the bar and waited for what was going to happen.
I saw Shell wink and smiled at her, maybe I was an idiot for not seeing her since, well before this since our last encounter.

Shell keeps her smile on her face, looking back and forth between the four men who were still exchanging glances while whispers were jumping throughout the entire bar. Most were along the lines of, 'How is she walking free?' 'She has to be buffing, there's no way.' or Shell's favorite, 'I think we should get going... now.'
After a few moments the guys start backing off walking back to the table and sitting down while still keeping an eye on Shell and Riyann. She simply winks at them and turns around sitting back down on her barstool, acting as if nothing ever happened and that Riyann didn't walk in and stand by her side. [/size] |

[[And my posts keep getting even more pathetic WOOT]]
I watched everyone around the bar exchanging glances or small lines to each other because of what Shell said and how they're begining to think maybe it wasn't a bluff and I raised a small eyebrow. For being so confident that she was bluffing it seemed rather odd that they backed off and I took a seat on another barstool like Shell had done.
Biting my lip it was silent between her and I, still small comments being thrown around by the other occupants of the bar. "Shell." I started softly, biting lightly at my lip, how do I say sorry for avoiding her because I had left Riley, but then I'd gone right back. "I-I'm sorry." I whispered, looking at the bar as I spoke.

Shell sighs lightly glancing over at her with a frown. "You're sorry? That's it, you're sorry? You tell me that you love me more than anything and then you disappear without a word for two weeks and the only reason why you're talking to me right now is because somehow we've crossed paths. You have any idea how hard it is for me to open up like I did that night, to say everything that I did? I don't accept your apology." she says feeling her rage building more and more she ranted.
"And you know what? I still feel the same about you after all of this. And I have no idea why I would or how I could. But. I don't know Riyann. Just go home with Riley. I can't keep doing this to myself. I'm staying single until my death day." she nods, with a straight face before taking another firewhisky and finishing it quick. [/size] [[awww, no they're not.  ]] |

It hurt, the words she was saying and I knew I deserved them. I really did deserve them. But she hadn't tried either. I was actually either working, or at home with the twins, and now I was fighting to keep my marrage from falling apart, which was stupid since I said I'd runaway with her.
Still, hadn't Shelby played a hand in not seeing eachother for two weeks? That's what I had thought. I had ended up thinking that I was leaving Riley for no reason what so ever because I hadn't seen Shell and I knew, some how knew that she was with Draven or something.
So far I've managed to stay silent through Shelly's rants and then her promise of staying single, and I didn't know why I did.
"I thought you hated me." I whispered, not looking at her, but still at the bar infront of me. I was pregnant for sure now, I was in love with both my husband and his cousin, Charlotte hated my guts just like I hated my mum, and Ariella was just like Riley in every way which made it all the worse. "I thought you loved him more than me when I hadn't seen you." I whispered and shook my head at the bar, willing myself not to cry or anything stupid.
[[thankies.... lol. I think the last two were though...]]

Shell sighs again, looking over to her with disbelief. Did she seriously think she was with Draven this entire time? She had been at home trying to make ends meet. Having problems with Jessie, falling behind with the bills had caused everything to be shut off. Shell actually borrowed money from Gringotts just so they could have water at least. The worse part was when the repoman came when everyone was home.
"Riyann, I said I loved you more than anything. I've never said that in my entire life." she says softly, taking her hand into hers lightly, so Riyann could take it away from her easily and Shell couldn't blame her either. "And I still do. But I understand what you mean. I should have sent you an owl. I was afraid of going over there cause of Riley but that's no excuse." Shell nods looking at the bar now as well. [/size] |

I turned and looked at her when she grabbed onto my hands and let her. I bit down on my bottom lip softly, it was both of our fault and then we ended up assuming, but if anything I should be blamed more than Shell, because in the end I couldn't leave Riley, not without knowing if Shell loved me or not.
Plus, words could only be words.
"I-I left him and then I had to go back for my things and, god Shell it's hard." I whispered, shaking my head lightly. "And Charlotte hates me more than anything." I added. "You should've seen the look on his face," This wasn't what she wants to hear, isn't. "I love you so much more." I whispered, shaking my head. After what we said and after what I was going through I was more than pretty sure though.

"Riyann, I know how it is with that. I left Logan." she sighs never admitting that to anyone in her life as well. "He begged, pleaded and cried for me not to leave him and Seri, but I couldn't stay. I didn't love him anymore like I used to, I loved Nick far more than him. I still wonder to this day what would have happened if I stayed and tried to work things out all the time. I understand completely." she frowns, feeling her bottom lip sticking out and a few tears falling down her face uncontrollably.
"Riyann, I love you so much." she sobs, turning to face her and hugging her tight crying into her shoulder not caring about the looks around the bar that she was getting and all the whispers that she was a wimp, pathetic, too emotional and not the tough and strong Ruby that was feared years ago. [/size] |

I listened to her and bit my lip softly. So I was in the situation that Shell was in with Logan and Nick, only it was Riley, Shelby, and I, but I couldn't get over him and I couldn't stop wanting to fix it, especially since everything that needed fixing was my fault.
I hugged her tight and kissed the top of her head, feeling a few tears fall down my cheeks, but I held the rest back, forgetting where we were or the fact that there were people around us. "I-I dunno what to do anymore." I whispered, shaking my head a little, knowing that when I went home tomorrow I was going to feel all the more guilty, especially since Riley and I really hadn't seen each other since he went back to work and I had the night off and wasn't spending it with him and at least talking things out. "I love you." I whispered again, kissing her head again.

"I don't either." she sighs, sniffling a little before wiping her tears away but still hugging her tight. "Can we please just leave and walk somewhere like to a park." she asks softly, leaning back putting a hand to her cheek and staring into her blue eyes. "I love you so much Riy, you have no idea." Shell whispers before kissing her hard on the lips.
She couldn't help it. Shell had no idea what to do and that was the first thing she could think of as if it would solve anything but that's just what she wanted and what she hoped that Riyann wanted as well. Putting a hand around her waist and standing up she feels a few more tears fall down her face as she continues to kiss her ignoring all the raucus in the bar. [/size] |

I heard her say she had no idea anymore as well and bit down on my lip, not pulling out of the hug, leaving my arms around her waist. "Course Shelly." I whispered softly, looking back into her eyes, smiling softly to her. I wonder how in the world I could have been without her for two weeks? Even with the whole misunderstanding.
"I hope I have a little one." I whispered softly and returned the kiss, just as hard, but passionate. I felt her stand up and stood up with her as I kissed her back, ignoring the bar and the people in it still, not hearing anything else happening, just paid attention to Shelby, myself, and the kiss.

Shell puts each hands on her cheeks, kissing her just as passionate as she was. She pulls her closer and leaning her against the bar, laughing a little now at all the cheers and breaks the kiss looking into her eyes again.
"Maybe we should go or should we just lean against the bar and make out?" Shell asks with another laugh, tucking a stray hair behind Riyann's ear. She glances over her shoulder and shakes her head leaning forward to Riyann's ear, "Unless you rather leave and just go to the park love." she whispers softly before putting her face into the crook her Riyann's neck kissing it softly as she had a hand on each side of her. [/size] |

I smiled a little against her lips and let her move so I was leaning against the bar. Hearing her laugh I smiled a little more at her, being brought back to the fact we were in the bar filled with people and I just looked back at her, not caring about them.
"Either works for me love." I said with a small grin. "But you know, you're never supposed to leave an audience." I said with a small smirk when she tucked some hair behind my hear. I felt her move to the frook of my neck and tilted my head away slightly when she started kissing it, shutting my eyes lightly, pulling her a little closer to me with my arms that were around her waist.

"Ah, I forgot about that rule. But I rather keep you all to myself love." she whispers softly into her ear again before working down the base of her neck biting here and there and working her way to the other side slowly nipping her skin lightly before sucking on the bite mark slightly as she broke away looking up at her with a grin on her face.

I giggled softly and let a small moan past my lips when Shell started biting a little on my neck and tilted my head away from her a little more again. I looked at her as she broke away and raised a small eyebrow. "I've already said either works love. I get to be with you either way." I said, kissing her quick on the lips.

Shell just smiles lightly again before grabbing her cloak and wrapping it around her again pulling the hood over her head. Her kids never liked this cloak of hers, knowing it was technically Rubalyn's but Shell knew she would end up in Knockturn tonight. "Well come on my dear, the park awaits us." she nods, turning slightly and extending her hand out to Riyann with another wink as she looked around the bar. [/size] |

I raised a small eyebrow when Shelby pulled the hood of her cloak over her head, but smiled a little more. "That it does." I said with a small smile and grabbed her hand after seeing her wink and let my eyes follow where hers went around the bar and just shook my head lightly. Probably the most action these people had in years and they weren't even part of it.

Shell finally locks eyes with the four men from before seeing that the lock was gone now. She simply smirks and winks at them causing their eyes to widen and turn back around. "That's always fun." she whispers to Riyann before heading for the door and opening it.
"So, always wanted to ask. How does it feel to be with the Dark Ruby?" she asks with a faint smile glancing at her as they continued to walk out of Knockturn and up to Diagon looking around the empty street. It had to be around midnight now just by the look of the clouds and stars in the sky right now. Walking a little bit more until she found the same park that she brought her kids to and leaned against a tree still keeping her hood up and glancing up at the stars with a grin. [/size] |

I laughed softly at what Shell did and kissed her cheek quick after she whispered to me.
I thought about the question she asked after a moment, thinking of an answer as we walked. "Normal?" I asked, not coming up with an answer that didn't make me seem like a large suck up, and I looked around as we walked and looked at the park we came to as she looked up at the stars.

"Normal? It's not intimdating or quote on quote scary?" she asks biting her lip as she looked up at the stars still. "Logan, Nick and Jay always thought it was overbearing or scary that I was the Dark Ruby, even though I was innocent they knew what I was capable." she nods lightly before glancing at her with a frown.
"I just don't want you to feel uncomfortable about all this." she says softly glancing at her outfit. She made her eyeliner dark and thick with ruby red lips and her hair curled like Shirley Temple and that cloak. Shell looks to the grass with a sigh, leaning down and taking off her black high heels sinking down to her five foot stature as she looks up at the stars again. [/size] |

"Normal, not intimidating, not scary normal." I said with a small nod as she continued looking at the stars. "You're who you are, and I feel in love with both sides of you Shell. Even if one can be a little out of hand. I think it's normal." I said with a stupid small grin as I watched her. "As normal as normal things can be for me." I said with a small laugh.
I watched her lean down and take her shoes of so she went back to her normal size. "I'm not Shell." I said with a small smile. "I'm not." I repeated in a whisper.

Shell glances over at her again and pulls at Riyann's waist so that she was leaning against Shell as she stayed against the tree. "And that's why I love you so much. You don't care about my past you accept it. That includes the Azkaban thing too right?" she whispers to her, kissing her cheek softly laughing a little when she sees the red lipstick mark on her cheek. "Sorry sweetie." she says moving her hand to wipe it off. [/size] |

Post by Riyann Servansikk on Jun 28, 2008 3:23:01 GMT
I smiled a little when she pulled at my waist so I leaned against her. "Why should the azkaban thing matter?" I asked softly, shaking my head lightly. "I don't care." I said in a small whisper. I had family in there as it was, I could easily be caught for my past doings and be thrown in there, that and I don't think azkaban is a place for anyone.
She kissed my cheek and I assumed she said sorry because of her lipstick as she moved a hand to wipe it off. "It's fine love." I said, shaking my head lightly.
