Riley;;Tears Don't Fall

[Riyann Servansikk]

The twins stood there, wondering where their dad was until he came in a moment later and then they were back out the door after he told them to get out, not saying a word about anything, hoping they weren't going to have to.

Riley wasn't in the kitchen and the twins just ran in. I didn't know what to think as my heart dropped slightly, though I was a little relieved to see the girls were fine. I didn't want to think about what could've happened to Riley, it scared me. Until I saw him coming into the kitchen, grabbing a phone. Who would've thought that all of this would have happened in the middle of a heavy rainstorm. Not saying anything like the twins, I paused to let my vision come clear again, coughing slightly at the smoke that was coming in through the doorway to the living room and headed outside, bringing my hand back for a moment as I stepped past the door and then put it back after looking at the blood. "Come on." I said softly to the girls, pointing up towards the road and started with them.

[Riley Pearson]

I took one last look around the kitchen, before shutting the door behind us after they were all outside. I coughed a few more times after I shut the door and caught up with the three of them before dialing the fire department and telling them about the fire. Giving them our adress and trying to keep calm as I looked back at our home has the rain poured down on us. All that mattered was that the three of us were okay, but that didn't mean I wasn't upset about this. How could someone not be.

They told me someone would be here soon and I hung up the phone after thanking them, turning to the three of them.
"Is everybody okay?" I asked looking to the three of them, wanting nothing more right now than to hug the girls and Riyann. I took a closer look at Riyann and walked closer to her when I saw some blood on her head. I moved her hand slightly away from it, seeing the cut across her forehead. But reaching down for my wand a moment later, I couldn't find it. "Shit.." I mumbled to myself when it wasn't in my pocket and I had assumed it must've fell out. "You okay love?"

[Riyann Servansikk]

I felt slightly better when everyone was outside, hearing the door shut behind Riley, even if he was coughing several times more, it was better than being inside, not coughing, and being in the middle of the fire. If that made sense to how it could happen.
As he started speaking I pulled the girls towards me, shrugged off the sweatshirt and drapped it over their shoulders together, glad that I had been wearing Riley's sweatshirt instead of one of my own. "You two fine?" I asked in a small voice, moving my hand back over the cut that was being stung by the heavy rain, recieving silent nods from the two of them and I stood up straight, turning to Riley.

"We're fine." I said softly, watching as he stepped closer, letting my hand drop to my side as he moved it away slightly. "What?" I asked, barely hearing him mumble the word shit. "I'm fine." I said with a small nod, realizing that he didn't have his wand and shut my eyes briefly, looking back at the house, seeing the flames still licking at the outside and spreading on the inside. People stood outside, or as close to it to see the fire and I just ignored them, looking at Ariella as her eyes got wide again and she darted back towards the house where the wand was. "Ella, stop." Char called and I barely realized what was going on let alone the fact that her sister had darted after her the moment she started for the hous.

[Riley Pearson]

I nodded slightly, feeling a little better know that they were all okay. I couldn't believe this was happening. When was this all going to stop?

I nodded slightly when she said she was okay, wanting to know how the fire got started in the first place. I looked back at the house and before I knew it, Ella was running back toward the house. My eyes widened and I instantly went after her, without really thinking anything about it. "Ella." I said running over to her and grabbing her a moment later, holding her in my arms so she couldn't go any further.

[Riyann Servansikk]

Bad luck seems to just run my way, whether it's by my own doing or not, it always shows up on our front door, this time in an almost literal sense.

I didn't even have time to react as Riley ran after Ariella and Charlotte stopped about halfway between me and then Riley and Ariella. I don't even know if I could understand or realize that Ariella was, had been, running towards the house that was being engulfed in flames that were still spreading against the heavy rain.

Ariella started struggling against Riley's hold on her body. If he would let her go she could get his wand, sure she'd have to explain, but still, okay, maybe not the greatest idea of all time and she stopped trying so hard to get from his arms. "Ariella just stop." Charlotte called to her in a small and timid voice that I didn't think she had and I walked over to her, wrapping my arms lightly around Char, still shocked at what had just taken place and the fact that Charlotte ran after her sister.

[Riley Pearson]

Ella struggled against me as I held tightly onto her, even though it was getting sort of hard to. She was giving a pretty good fight, I had to admit. "Ella stop." I said still holding tightly onto her.

[[ gah, short. lol ]]

[Riyann Servansikk]

Ariella shook her head before finally giving up, still mad that she couldn't get to his wand and then there was the fact that if she hadn't have fought over the wand with Charlotte they wouldn't be in this predicament.

Biting my lip softly I lifted Charlotte in my arms slowly, knowing that she was getting a bit big for this, but didn't matter much to me. I wanted to know why Ariella was running back to the house, despite the fact that her things, along with everything else was being worked into going up in flames. And then I didn't really want to know, maybe it wouldn't help us out one bit. But seeing her stop struggling, I let a soft sigh past my lips and kissed Charlotte on the cheek lightly.

[Riley Pearson]

She finally stopped struggling and I loosened my grip a little bit, hugging her lightly now. "Ella, why were you running toward the house?" I asked her softly, looking in her eyes and trying not to look at our house as it kept burning, starting to wonder where the fire department was.

[Riyann Servansikk]

She didn't answer, instead shook her head as she looked towards where they'd been playing with the wand, not even sure where it was anymore, knowing that they weren't going to find the wand, it wasn't likely anyways. She was starting to feel sick as she looked at the house as it continued to be covered in flames, wondering if it would stop, not hearing the sirens of the fire trucks quite yet.

[Riley Pearson]

She didn't say anything and I just looked at house, still not hearing anything for a few more moments, until the very quiet sirens were coming down the road. "It's gonna be okay honey..." I said quietly and softly to Ella before kissing her cheek softly.

[Riyann Servansikk]

Ella turned slightly and pressed her face against his chest after hearing his words and the sirens. "I'm sorry daddy." She whispered, knowing he wouldn't know what she was really apologizing for, probably, hopefully, thought it was for running back towards the house.

[Riley Pearson]

I hugged Ellla tightly after she pressed her head into my chest and I shook my head slightly, "It's okay... You don't have anything to be sorry about.." I said softly as the sirens approached. It was pretty obvious that the house was going to be pretty destroyed... as all of our things in the area where the fire spread. Who would've thought that it could get like that when it was raining?

[Riyann Servansikk]

Biting my lip I watched the two of them and walked forward. "Uhm, we should probably go somewhere." I said softly, knowing that there probably wasn't going to be anything left of the house, or in it at least.

[[Eh, pathetic post.]]

[Riley Pearson]

"Yeah.. I guess so." I said sort of quietly, keeping my eyes on the burning house, finding it kind of hard to pull them away. I kissed Ella's head lightly before setting her down again, by Charlotte this time. "Think there's anything left?" I asked Riyann a moment later, thinking that there had to be at least a few things they could salvage.

[[ it was okay ]]

[Riyann Servansikk]

Charlotte's hand latched on to Ariella's after Riley set her down, determined to not even let her sister think of going back for the wand. "I dunno." I said softly, biting my lip a little bit. Probably not much if there was. I kept my hand away from the cut, knowing that it would only sting even more and be just that much more painful. It was easy to tell that there was going to be a bruise, if not a bump to go along with it.

[Riley Pearson]

"There has to be something though..." I said quietly, smoothing my hair down after ruffling slightly. "I mean... it's not probably gonna be livable.. but i'm sure there's smething.."

[Riyann Servansikk]

I nodded a little at what he said, not really finding the use of voicing something, he basically said what there was and started with his own conversation, but again, I nodded.

[Riley Pearson]

I shook my head a little bit before turning away from the house and hugging Riyann tightly.

[Riyann Servansikk]

I watched him turn from the house and hugged him back with a small sigh. Nothing ever seems to go right.

[Riley Pearson]

The firemen started to put out the fire and I sighed slightly, not letting go of her yet.

[[ meh, i dunno what to put ]]

[Riyann Servansikk]

"Where are we going to go?" I asked softly, not entirely sure where, then again I'm not really thinking either, more so trying to ignoring the throbbing pain from hitting my head.

[Riley Pearson]

"We can go to my parent's house... or.. other family member's houses.. um.. Could probably even stay at Hogwarts if we needed to..." I said quietly pullng a little out of the hug so I could see her.

[Riyann Servansikk]

"Doesn't matter." I murmured softly, looking back at him before resting my head lightly against his chest.

[Riley Pearson]

"My parents are on vacation now... so maybe we could stay there for a while.." I said quietly, smoothing my hand down over the back of her hair, before pulling away slightly again and lifting her chin up so I could look at her better, my eyes moving up to her cut. I completely forgot that I could do some wandless magic and ran my thumb lightly over her cut, healing it almost completely.

[Riyann Servansikk]

"Okay." I said softly, letting him lift my chin up and looked at him. Feeling him run his thumb over the cut I winced slightly. "Thanks." I mumbled. "Wait, where's Zoe?" I asked, hoping that she had left for the day or something.

[Riley Pearson]

I watched her wince slightly and I mumbled a small sorry before nodding a little when she said thanks. She mentioned Zoe's name and I nodded. "She left earlier and didn't come back yet..." I said still looking down to her. "I checked all the rooms before we left.."

[Riyann Servansikk]

I nodded after hearing him mumble sorry, but didn't say anything about it. "Okay." I murmured softly, nodding a little, moving and resting my head against his chest again.

[Riley Pearson]

I nodded slightly before hugging her a little tighter and letting out a small breath that I had just taken in.

[Riyann Servansikk]

"Should we go now?" I asked in a small voice, glancing up at him after he hugged me tighter.

[Riley Pearson]

"Yeah... we can come back later when it's cooled down.." I said quietly, looking back down at her.
