Maybe I'm Just Crazy... Hopefully ;; Riyann

[Riley Pearson]

I was still trying to grasp what was really going on. And I didn't think I was going crazy? At least I hoped I wasn't. Shelby, was in a mirror? I mean, really, how the hell does someone get stuck in a mirror?
This was all very confusing, but I knew that I had to talk to Riyann about this. About what Rubalyn had already done and what she had talked to her about. From what I heard, she threatened to kill me and the girls if Riyann didn't join her, so I was pretty sure that Riyann joined her side. Honestly, I didn't even want Riyann on the good side. She needed to stay out of this, but I knew that wasn't going to happen now.
I apparated inside house, looking around a bit before speaking. "Riyann? You home?" I called out, biting my lip a little bit, hoping that maybe I really was crazy and that this whole thing wasn't happening. The last thing any of us needed was another war to worry about.

[Riyann Servansikk]

I had just talked to Rubalyn just earlier today and then I'd come home, getting a sub for my class the moment I'd gotten out of the Room of Requirements. Just to get away from Ruby. If I was going to have to go through with this then she could at least deal with me not being around when not dealing with this.

I'd gone and changed into a pair of sweats and a t-shirt, both of which belonged to Riley, and resorted to sitting in the middle of his bed, a pillow hugged tight to my body, Shelby's wand sitting out infront of me, my eyes locked on it.
Why the hell would she want you? It's obvious you won't be of any help. "Bloody hell shut up already." I muttered, for the past hour it had been comments like that and how I wasn't going to be able to help her because I was going to get us locked up in St. Mungo's or something. If she wanted my help that bad she'd break me out though. So really I saw no problem. Which wasn't good.

Hearing a familiar pop, my eyes darted up to the shut door and I got up off the bed as much as I didn't want to, grabbed the wand and going over to the dresser, shoved it in one of the drawers, under some clothes.
He'd be wanting to know why I had Shelby's wand, and then he'd know something was up.

"Up here." I called out before pulling my hair back into a pony tail and then going over to the door, opening it and stepping out.

[Riley Pearson]

I heard her call out from my room and went upstairs to see her standing outside my room. I smiled a bit at her as I walked over to her. I wasn't really sure how I should go about all of this, or how I should start, but I guess I should probably just blurt it out so it's easier. I stepped infront of her, kissing her lightly for a moment, and pushing some hair behind her ears lightly.
I wasn't sure if I looked anxious, but I think I definately felt that way. "Um.. Are you helping Rubalyn?" I asked after a few moments, not knowing how else to start this conversation.

[Riyann Servansikk]

I smiled, seeing him walking towards me, though I saw he looked a little anxious? I wasn't sure what was going on, but I was wondering if he'd run into Ruby and she'd done something. Feeling his lips against mine I smiled a little and kissed him back, then feeling him push some hair behind my ears. "Are you okay?" I asked softly just before he started speaking and then I shook my head, hoping he'd just ignore that and talk.
"Uhm, what?" I asked, scrunching my eyebrows up in confusion, though I really was far from confused, I knew exactly what he was going on about. "Helping her with what?
Have to give you props for at least sounding convincing.

[Riley Pearson]

I shook my head a bit to answer her question if I was okay and then watched her give me a confused look. I felt a little more sick now that it looked like she had no idea what was going on, all the more proving that I was insane.
"Either I've gone completely mental or Shelby's stuck in mirror and Rubalyn's starting this.. war, thing." I said shaking my head a little bit, my eyebrows scrunched slightly in worry and confusion.
Yep.. you're crazy alright.. I thought to myself after hearing what I said, that didn't sound as well as it did in my head when it came to sounding sane.

[Riyann Servansikk]

Well now, what to say, I know what he's talking about and I'm helping Rubalyn to protect him and telling him would not be doing so, or let him think he's gone insane as well.
"Shelby's stuck in a mirror?" I asked in disbelief. I had seriously thought Ruby meant that she was gone, in a different body, ignoring me and on the other side of the world, not trapped in a mirror. It's happened before, she said. I really could not believe that. How do you get stuck in a mirror? "Why, how?" I asked, still talking about the mirror part, though I probably should comment on the war thing, just to make it seem like I really had no idea what he was talking about.
"Riley." I said softly, trying to think of what to say. You're insane? You need to rest? I think you've lost your top?? Nope, it's all true, though I don't know about Shelby being stuck in a mirror?

[Riley Pearson]

I shook my head again, rubbing it slightly now. It's official, I really am crazy. Riyann, as far as I could see, had no idea what I was talking about.
"Yes.. S-She.. I went to the ROR and there was a mirror there, and Shelby was in it and she was talking to me." I said shaking my head a little bit, not believing that I just said that outloud. I really did sound more and more loopy everytime I spoke.
She said my name softly before I could continue and I looked desperately into her eyes, before just shaking my head a little and running a hand through my hair. "I need to sit down.." I said shaking my head a little more and walking into my room, sitting down on the bed, feeling like was about to hyperventalate.

[Riyann Servansikk]

I remember the mirror there, I remeber seeing Shelby, but I had thought it was only something totally different, some stupid bit of magic messing with our minds and making it look like Shelby had standing there. Now she was stuck in that mirror? "T-that, it can't have happened Riley." I said, shaking my head, really having a hard time believing that bit of everything. How did she get stuck in a mirror?
I nodded when he said he needed to sit down, watching as he walked into the room, pausing outside the room to gather my thoughts. This really couldn't happen. And I couldn't let Riley know or think that there was a war, he'd probably do something and I couldn't let him get hurt.
Going into the room I moved, sitting down on the bed behind him, wrapping my arms lightly around his stomach from where I was. "It'll be okay love." I whispered, wanting to say it was probably just something in the water and everyone in the house would eventually be insane. It wasn't true, just me.

[Riley Pearson]

Now I definately didn't want to contuinue with everything else that was said. If I really was insane, then I doubt there really was a war or that Riyann was helping the other side becuase Rubalyn threatened her family.
She said it can't be happening and I ran a hand through my hair again, not being able to breath very well at the moment. She moved into the room a moment later and sat down next to me and wrapping her arms around my stomach. "How is this going to be okay?" I asked her, shaking my head a little bit, rubbing my forehead again. "I think that Shelby'd trapped in a mirror and that there's some kind of war being started by Rubalyn.." And that you're helping her.. I thought to myself before continueing. "That just.. doesn't.. this.." I stopped and shook my head again, not knowing what else to say. So instead, I just took my wand out of my pocket and gave it to Riyann, wondering if I should have it or not. Better safe than sorry, right?

[Riyann Servansikk]

I really really shouldn't be letting him think that he was going insane, but it didn't change the fact that I couldn't believe Shelby was trapped in a mirror, and that she was watching everything and telling my husband.
Wonder why she'd do that? Maybe to you know, get someone to gather up people to go against her. I had the sudden urge to go find Shelby and yell at her because she was going to get him killed.
"It will be." I whispered softly, kissing the upper part of his back lightly before letting my forehead rest there. "We'll help Shelby and then, it'll just work out." I whispered, nodding slightly against his back.
I raised an eyebrow at the wand that was being handed to me and I took it with a hesitant hand. "What are you doing Riley?" I asked, raising an eyebrow, really wondering if he thought that he was really just that insane, just like I was and was worried about hurting me.

[Riley Pearson]

I just nodded slightly as she kissed the upper part of my back and rested her forehead against it. I sighed and nodded again. I didn't know what to say anymore. I wanted to explain everything else, but honestly, I thought that I sounded crazy enough. "Well, if she's not stuck in a mirror, then she doesn't need our help." I said quietly, shaking my head faintly.
"I'm giving you my wand.. I don't think I should have it." I said shaking my head a little bit, glad that she took it.
"I mean.. I'm halucinating about a cousin who's telling me to start up the Order again because she can't.. cause she's stuck in a mirror.. I don't think I should have somethng like that.." I added, talking about the wand.

[Riyann Servansikk]

"Exactly. So we can always go help her or see this mirror." I said softly shaking my head a little bit, hugging him slightly tighter around the waist. "And if she's not there then it's fine." I added softly, kissing his back again.
"Why not?" I asked, laughing softly, moving and resting my chin on his shoulder now, smiling a little bit. "Who said you're halucinating?" I asked, raising an eyebrow, taking one of my hands and grabbing onto his, moving the wand into it. "Riley," I said softly, letting a small sigh pass my lips, he didn't have to think he was halucinating or crazy, just so long as I can make sure he doesn't start anything up or know about me helping Ruby.
I'm starting to think you want to help and that's why you want it secret.

[Riley Pearson]

I stared down at the floor and just nodded slightly as she kiss my back agian and hugged me a bit tighter. We would go to the mirror and then prove that I was definately crazy, either that or we would prove that I wasn't, but honestly, I thought I was at the moment.
"It's just a precaution.." I said quietly when she asked why not and rested her chin on my shoulder. "I said I was halucinating.." I told her, glancing over to her eyes as she grabbed my hand, placing the wand back in it. I didn't want to have it. Crazy, or not, if I was, I didn't think I should have something like that.
"Yeah Riyann?" I asked her very quietly when she said my name and that was it. The wand still in my hands even though I wanted to give it back to her.

[Riyann Servansikk]

"Precaution for what? It's not like you've done anything." I said softly, willing myself to not just start yelling at him because he was being completely idiotic about this. "You've only possible halucinated, it's not like you've held your wand at me." I said, shutting my eyes to settle down.
"It's going to be fine." I whispered softly, now wanting to tell him that he wasn't crazy, wasn't halucinating, that he was completely right and I was helping Rubalyn and Shelby really was trapped in a mirror in the room of requirements, but I couldn't. I kept my mouth shut and kissed his shoulder lightly again.

[Riley Pearson]

"Right. I haven't done anything, yet." I said quietly, with a small frown. "I guess so.." I replied to what she told me. "But I don't want to possibly end up doing that.. which is why I'd rather you held onto it. Please." I said a little softer, handing the wand back to her.
I just nodded faintly, feeling her kiss my shoulder again.

[Riyann Servansikk]

"Right, and there won't be a yet." I said softly, really wanting him to believe that. "Nothing is wrong with you love, there won't be reason for you to do anything." I smiled a little and kissed the back of his neck this time. "Riley, you won't." I said, not wanting to take his wand. He was just fine, I was just lying to him about not helping Ruby, and I already felt horrible about it.

[Riley Pearson]

"Then please just humor me and hold onto it anyway." I said quietly, after listening to what she had to say. I know she was trying to make me feel better and maybe she was right, maybe I'm not crazy.. but maybe I am. Not something I would like to believe, but it's a possibility.
"How do you know I won't?" I asked her back a moment later, wondering if I'm going to have to hold it at her before she would take it.

[Riyann Servansikk]

"Why?" I asked, though maybe I should, didn't mean I would. "Riley nothing's going to happen, humor me and you hold onto it." I said softly, kissing the side of his neck this time. I wasn't going to take his wand, no matter what, and I hope he would know that. "Maybe you should just relax love." I whispered softly, biting my lip softly.
"Because Riley." I said, slightly frustrated with the fact that he wouldn't drop it. "Because I trust you. Do I need much more of a reason?"

[Riley Pearson]

I listened to what she said and sighed slightly to myself. I had already told her why I didn't want to hold it. "Just in case." I said quietly, frowning a little before I felt her kiss the side of my neck. I knew she wasn't going to take it. That was obvious. She told me to relax and I let out a small breath, nodding a little and closing my eyes for a moment.
She trusted me, just like I had trusted her not to point my wand at me. ".. No." I said quietly, not mentioning what I had thought for that one second. "But if we go the mirror and she's not there, then will you take it?" I asked her softly.

[Riyann Servansikk]

"Nope." I said softly, smiling, slight amusment to my voice as I kissed the side of his neck again, really he was just overreacting. Nothing was wrong, he wasn't insane, he wasn't going to kill me from this, he wasn't going to know about me helping Ruby. "Thank you." I said when I felt his body relax slightly.
I nodded a little, smiling when he said no, and I was glad because I didn't have any more of a reason unless I was going to tell him anything. "Nope." I said, smiling a little, kissing his neck before kissing his upper back again.

[Riley Pearson]

I sighed slightly again as she said no and I moved a few pieces of hair from my face so they weren't covering my eyes. "I just want you to be safe." I said very quietly, trying to stay relaxed and nodded slightly when she said thank you.
"Why not?" I asked her, still in the quiet tone after she said no again before I felt her kiss my neck again and then my upper back again.

[Riyann Servansikk]

"You're not a danger to me Love." I said with a small smile, shaking my head a bit. He was still slightly tense, but he was at least trying to stay relaxed. Moving my arms from around his waist I started massaging his shoulders instead after kissing his neck quick.
"Because." I said with a small smile, shrugging slightly. "What's a wizard without a wand?"

[Riley Pearson]

I stayed quiet when she said I wasn't a danger to her and just nodded faintly, giving in to what she was saying to me. She moved her arms from around my waist and after kissing my head again, started to massage my shoulders, making my body relax slightly more.
"A wizard that won't accidently hurt you." I told her in a quiet and slightly cracking voice.

[Riyann Servansikk]

He didn't say anything and I smiled a little bit more, glad for that, though it wasn't exactly silent on the inside of my head. I continued massaging his shoulders, feeling him relax a bit more, making my smile grow slightly.
"Riley you're not going too. You're too worried about it." I said with a small laugh, dropping my hands from his shoulders for a moment, moving my chin to sit on his shoulder and turning his head to face me. "You won't. I promise." I said softly, kissing him softly.

[Riley Pearson]

"But you see why I am worried about it right?" I asked her, feeling her drop her hands from my shoulders and feeling her chin on my shoulder. She turned my head and I looked in her eyes when I was facing her.
I smiled faintly and just nodded a little, not feeling like disgreeing with her anymore and kissed her softly back.

[Riyann Servansikk]

"Nope." I said softly, shaking my head a little, smiling still. He didn't have a thing to be worried about. I locked my eyes with his, still with the same smile on my face. "Love you." I whispered softly against his lips before kissing him again, smiling a little.

[Riley Pearson]

I just dropped the whole thing when she said no again and locked my eyes back with hers, trying not to think about the possible fact that I was crazy. "Love you too." I whispered back to her before kissing her backwhen she kissed me again.

[Riyann Servansikk]

I smiled a little more when he didn't continue with any of it, feeling slightly better now that he hadn't. I nodded faintly when he said he loved me too and deepened the kiss slightly.

[Riley Pearson]

I was stil worried about what could possibly hapen, but I had to admit thatit was kind of difficult to think about it when I was kissing her. She deepend the kiss lghtly and let her, placing a hand on the side of her neck lightly.

[Riyann Servansikk]

He still didn't continue and I smiled slightly more. I felt his hand on the side of my neck and moved slightly from behind him more towards the side of him so that it was easier to kiss him.
