Wondering. That's basically all I was doing. Things were going surprisingly and unexpectedly well with Riyann right now. Which was sort of weird considering how quickly her opinion changed about me in a matter a few days. One day she was glaring and frowning all the time, ignoring most everything I would say, and then the next thing I knew she was smiling and kissing me. It really didn't make much sense at all to me. But I can't say I'm really complaining.
But I did know that thing's probably weren't getting any better. I thought they were for a few days. Riyann not talking to herself, acting normally. Then, she picks a very strange time to decide to blurt something out when we're kissing. Not really the best timing. I sighed slightly, thinking about it all. I had really thought that she was okay. That maybe the whole thing was just a one time deal, but I guess I was wrong.
I came to the room of requirement and paused infront of it. I wasn't really at Hogwarts for any particular reason. Just here thinking and I could really use a place to just relax in some peace and quiet for a moment.
I opened the door to the ROR after walking infront of it thinking of what I needed and walked inside. There were a few random things placed around the room, a full length mirror, a bookshelf, some tea.. So maybe it wasn't that random.. well, except for the mirror, that is, I don't really even remember thinking I wanted one.
I shrugged slightly and walked over to the couch, laying down on it and closing my eyes lightly.

Shell was sitting on the floor of a black room filled with black furniture, or so it seemed to her as there was no lighting in this place, realm, or whatever it was. Looking around she sighs noticing the mirror in the room was emitting light brightly meaning that someone was in the room of requirments and decided to see who it was.
Crawling over to the full length mirror she peers outside to see Riley moving over to the couch as her blue eyes widen a bit before raising her fists up to hit the mirror, knowing it wasn't going to break but to get his attention, hopefully. "Riley. Riley!" she yells, biting her lip afterwards, moving her white formal dress a bit. It was very heavy with all the layers, as her curls were falling over her face as she kept hitting the glass.

I closed my eyes lightly with a sigh, just deciding to not think for a little while. I just starting to get comfortable when I heard Shelby's voice call out my name. I gave a slightly frustrated sigh and just ignored it for a moment before opening my eyes, "Yeah Shelby?" I asked, unsure if there was annoyance in my voice or not and sat up slightly so I could look around the room.
But I didn't see her anywhere, the room was empty and I ruffled some of my hair slightly, looking around a little more, "Shelby?" I asked again, starting to wonder if maybe I was going crazy too.
I heard a pounding noise after a moment or two and shifted my eyes over to where it was coming from. It's official. I'm crazy. That's the only thing I could think for that moment as I saw Shelby standing in the mirror, poiunding on the glass. I didn't say anything now and just stared at it, getting up and walking over to it a moment later.

Shell sighs, hearing him call her name but he sounded annoyed as if she was pestering him. But right now she didn't care. There was a war starting up and no one knew. "Riley, you're not crazy. Come to the mirror..." she says in a desperate tone of voice. Once she notices him standing in front of her as she continued to sit on the floor of the dark room before letting out a deep sigh of relief, just smiling at him. Shell couldn't even remember the last time she was actually glad to see Riley.
"I have to talk to you... it's important." she says with a nod, placing her hands on the mirror surface, biting her lip waiting for him to adjust to what he was seeing in front of him. After all, how often do you see someone you know in a mirror talking and banging on the glass and not seeing your reflection?

"Says my cousin.. who's in a mirror.." I said to myself, still feeling like I was crazy as I walked up to it, examining the mirror with a bewildered expression.
I shook my head a little, trying to grasp whether this was actually happening or it was just some strange dream.
"Um.. what about?" I asked shaking my head a little as I touched my hand to the glass, not seeing a reflection, but still seeing Shelby.

Shell sighs a bit, just rolling her eyes a bit. "Trust me, alright. How do you think I feel? I'm stuck in this mirror while Ruby's running around creating turmoil in my body!" she says in a frustrated voice again before frowning at him looking at his hand on the mirror.
"It's about Ruby and Riyann. They were here earlier. Talking about a new war. Ruby's making Riyann fight or else she's coming after you and the girls." she says all in one breath, taking a deep one right afterwards before placing a hand through her loose curls with a look as if she just lost her job or house.

I looked over to her now instead of where my hand was touching. "Ruby?" I asked, shaking my head a little. If this was actually happening, that wasn't good. "What do you mean? How're you stuck?" I asked her, looking even more puzzled now probably.
I heard Riyann's name and I shifted my eyes back to Shelby quicker than I thought I would've. I froze for a moment, just shaking my head faintly, "Coming after us?" I asked agian, "How.. Why's she doing this? Why does she want Riyann?" What'd Riyann do?

She looks at him and shakes her head. "I have no clue how I'm in here. I woke up and poof I'm in a mirror. Well over here it looks like you're stuck in a mirror but I know it's me." she says with a frown before letting out a huff.
"She's, Ruby. Starting a new war... and Riyann has joined her, unwillingly but Ruby threatened to kill you and the girls if she didn't join. I don't know why she wants Riyann. After all, she wasn't loyal to the dark lord. I don't get it either."

I nodded slightly, "Well, I'm sure you'd rather be the one out here." I said with a small sigh.
"What kind of war?" I asked, sounding slightly more serious now. Was that realy necessary? I ran a hand through my hair, a sick feeling hitting me as she told me again that Ruby threatened to kill the girls. I didn't care much that she threatened me, but threatening them was out of the question. "Riyann can't handle something like that right now.." I said shaking my head a little more. I can't even handle something like this right now.

Shell bites her lip a bit. "The same one almost as before. Getting rid of anyone that's not of pureblood... so we can have a pureblood life and world I guess." she shrugs knowing she was taking this not as seriously as she did with the first war. After all, it was Ruby. She never went through with her plans after all why would she want to do that in the first place? That would she would have to destroy herself as well. "I know she can't... with that voice that she talks to." she mutters just closing her eyes lightly before looking back up at Riley. "You have to stop this."

I sighed when she said what it was over. That whole thing was just stupid. Why did it even matter? And really, who wants to marry their cousin? Not many people I know.
"Exactly.. and being preggers.." I said shaking my head a little bit. "Mostly.. the voice though." I added with another sigh.
"Me?" I asked raising my eyebrows over to her. "How am I supposed to help?"

She sighs herself just shaking her head. "Well I really can't lead a resistance from a mirror can I? Besides, you're great with magic, a former order member and a great one at that." she says with a smile standing up now and brushing off her dress. "I really starting to hate this dress. It's awful." she laughs some at herself before giving a curious look to Riley. "What do you say?"

I raised my eyebrows slightly and shook my head. "No.. Shelby I don't do things like that.. Well, techinically I could, but I mean, I'm not good at it." I said, watching as she stood up. "I don't even know how to start something like that... thank you for the compliments though.."
I shook my head a little, ruffing my hair slghtly again. "I must've lost it.." I mutter to myself, sitting down now instead of standing.

"Riley... do you want Riyann to go hurt along with a lot of innocent people?" she asks with a sigh before looking at him again. She watches him sit down and smiling a bit at his last comment. "The only thing you've lost is your confidence. Please Riley we can't just sit here... well I have no choice in the matter... but you do." she says with a smile to him again.

"Course I don't want them get hurt." I said looking back at her almost as if she was crazy. "And confidence? I think the only thing I've seemed to have lost is my mind." I said shaking my head slightly.
I sighed and just looked over to her again. "Well, what I am supposed to do then?"
