Went Crazy?;;Riley

[Tyler Sams]

I looked up a little at the houses that I passed as I was walking. Never had I been here, it was all strange and foreign to me, Riyann had just told me where they lived when I had still been in Azkaban. Key words, had been. I was out now, seven years of being in there. It's like that saying, break a mirror and you have seven years of bad luck. The little blind death eater could have been my mirror, though I haven't seen this friend for a long while, even after taking the fall for murdering the couple of wizards and many muggles.

It's been three days since I've walked out of the hell they call Azkaban, three days since I first walked as a free man in a long time. Three days at home spent with my wife and children, and now I was here, well almost there.

I looked up at the house, finding the number that Riyann had told me, but that had to be wrong. She never said anything about their house having been scorched with a fire, and now being currently worked on so it was livable.
No I had to have the wrong house.
Then again I hadn't talked to her in a while, it could've happened. I haven't talked to her in a long while, least a few months, I think. One of the last things we'd talked about was Riley losing his memory, though I don't even know if he went crazy and did this, probably not, but it's possible.
For all I knew he did, or maybe he had his memory back now, maybe he didn't.

Maybe they'd all died in the fire that could possibly have happened, if this was their house. Which probably would not be a good thing. Because one, it's my sister, and then my brother in-law, and my two neices that I haven't yet met.

Shaking my head a little I turned up the small walk and started towards the house, wondering why I was, if this was their house, if they didn't die in the possible fire, they probably weren't staying here. Still I knocked on the door before brushing my far to long hair from my face.

Instead of being as built as I used to I was worn, skinnier, sunken cheeks and dark lines beneath my eyes. The filth I'd been staying in, the dirt and grime was practically permantely stained into my skin so my I probably looked like a homeless person, though not like I've been completely starved, just known the hunger and dealt with it for far too long.

[Riley Pearson]

I had to admit that this was one of the most distracting things I've done in the past week. I walked through the house, observing all the work that had been getting done past however long it had been since the fire happend. I guess that I was little off that night when I said. 'when it rains it pours.' and accidently mistaked the rain for a downpour when really the large storm hadn't even hit yet.

I managed to save a few things in the areas that were really bad and some things were completely destroyed. Which was another reason I was here today, I was sitll shifting through everything, deciding what I should throw our and what I should try to save. Right now I was kneeled down on the floor, looking at a fire worn picture of Riyann and me. A moment or two after looking at it with a small frown I heard a knock on the door and placed the picture in the save pile I had going before standing up and making my way over to the door.

I opened it, seeing who was on the other side and raising my eyebrows slightly at who it was. "Tyler. Hi." I said shaking my head a little, giving him a small smile.

[Tyler Sams]

Honestly I hadn't been expecting to see the door swing open, or to see Riley, maybe he'd gone crazy and killed my sister and his kids. I hadn't been expecting for him to remember me either. News doesn't pass through the walls of Azkaban very fast. "Hey." I said, shaking my head faintly, looking back at Riley, for some reason looking past him in hopes of finding either corpses or Riyann standing in the back. "Lot been going on here." I said, smiling a little towards him.

It was odd, actually being able to go places, not be stuck between four walls all the time, being able to walk somewhere without being in the constant dark. Actually, the sun was both refreshing and really annoying. Though my hair mainly blocked out the sun when it was hanging in my face.

[Riley Pearson]

"Ah.. right." I said with a small nod, looking behind me. "Come on in though.." I said shaking my head a little. "Um.. I can explain all of this.." I told him, talking about the house and how it was being rebuilt. I really sure what he was thinking, but before I expalned anything I stopped and looked back over to him. "And don't worry, Riyann and the girls're okay.. they're at my parents house." I said with a small nod. Really, I wasn't sure if Riyann was there or not, but I didn't think it was really relavent.

[Tyler Sams]

I nodded a little, chuckling faintly. Everything had been effected from staying in Azkaban and being there for too long. My voice wasn't as strong, was sort of ragged and had an edge to it too. Physically, mentally, and emotionally I was falling apart and being worn down. "Thanks." I took a step in after he told me to come in and he could explain all of it. Though I did like the sun as of lately, it was nice to get out of it. It was like withdrawl, being withdrawn from the light made it so loved but only tolerable for a short time.
I'll admit, I was still wondering quite a bit about where Riyann was and the kids, and was slightly relieved when he told me where they were. "How've they been?" I asked, mostly referring to the girls, I could always talk to Riyann later.

[Riley Pearson]

I shut the door lightly behind me after he walked in and nodded slightly when he thanked me. He wasn't looking to good, but I guess for seven years in Azkaban he could've been looking worse. "Umm... Good for the most part I think.. but a lot's been happening so it's hard to really say.." I said with a small nod.

[Tyler Sams]

"Ah," It was all I could say, I mean so far I know their house was on fire at some point, maybe that's all that's been happening. Then again he did say he was going to explain, so I could wait. "How've you been holding out?"

[Riley Pearson]

"Um.. depends on what." I said with a small nod. I really really really didn't want to tell him that I cheated on Riyann, that I kissed Arden... Or about anything else that happend with Riyann and Shelby. "Okay I guess... Um.. Well, first the house caught fire.. we found out that Ella set it on fire.. with my wand..." I said with a small nod, looking over to him and leaning against a wall. "Then she ran away.. Riyann got her back though.. It's been a really crazy few months..."

[Tyler Sams]

I raised an eyebrow when he said depends on what, because that could mean multiple things, though he did say Riyann and the girls were fine and at his parents, so maybe it wasn't about them in the least. I laughed softly, my throat hurting slightly when I did, but I ignored the small pain. Ella was just like her mum in some ways, at least it seemed. "She sounds like Riyann." I said shrugging a little. "Seems like it."

[Riley Pearson]

I smiled and laughed a little, "Well, yeah a little bit.. I think that Lottie's more like her though.." I said with a small smile to him. "Then again, they both sort of are.."

[Riyann Servansikk]

"Well Ariella lit your house on fire, Riyann tried killing me when we were younger." I said, laughing a little and shrugging. "Though I don't know much about Lottie so she could be. Then again I don't know much about Ella either, just what Riyann's told me about them." I said softly after a moment.

[Riley Pearson]

I raised my eyebrows slightly, "Riyann tried to kill you?" I asked him with a small smile. I thought that was the other way around.. "But I guess they're both sort of like us both in ways."

[Riyann Servansikk]

"We were only five, she tried drowning me though." I said, smiling a little like he was. "Probably, though I suppose I can't quite judge that, huh?" I asked, shaking my head a little and moving to lean against a wall like he was.

[Riley Pearson]

"Ah okay." I said with a small smile. "Still though.. wow." I chuckled softly.
"I guess not.. But now that you're out you'll get a chance to meet them." I smiled.

[Riyann Servansikk]

I nodded a little, laughing softly. "Yup, you've got the devil on your hands." I said softly, shaking my head a little. She would have killed me had our good for nothing parents done what they always had done, not been there.
"Can't wait." Azkaban had seemed to age him so much more than if he'd been out of it. I'd missed my kids growing up, barely getting to meet them, not meeting my neices either, and having the bars seperate me between my wife.
