I appearated into the house that I've always dreaded, almost a little more than mad, and I immediatly went around the house looking for Riley or the twins and Justin, because apparently he didn't quite understand why he and the kids were staying here. Okay I feel bad because this might mean bye bye to the ministry, but I figured that he could give that up at least for now, just you know, so that they didn't all die. Juniper, I wasn't sure if she'd been serious or not, but it was Juniper and she'd obviously seen them, she knew they were 'hiding' that could mean a number of things.
So you've come here to start another fight with him? "Hopefully not, but probably." I muttered, shaking my head a little.
I'd already gone through the house, and no luck in finding anyone there, so I sat and waited in the living room. I probably shouldn't be there right now, but that was too bad. No chances this time.
Sighing softly I started biting my fingernails, a habbit I hadn't done for years, actually I hadn't done since before Hogwarts.
[[Yeah, short]]

The girls, Justin and I were all outside in the backyard of this place. It really was quite huge. Huge.. and also pretty boring, but it was a nice day out and figuring it not best to go to the park, I thought we could all just go in the backyard and hang out. Is it sad that my idea of fun is now watching my kids have fun? I really wasn't sure.
After being out there a while, Justin started to cry and figuring he needed a diaper change or a bottle I gathered the girls and we headed back in the house. The girls automatically went up to their room and I, holding Justin, made my way through the living room. Well, more like, made my way to the entrance of the living room.
That's when I saw Riyann.
She did not look happy, which is why I was slightly confused. "Riyann.. I um.. Is something wrong?" I asked as I walked over to a crib and set Justin down in it. Now that I'd been holding him for a bit, he settle down, so I figured he was fine. I turned back to her, still confused.

Never thought to check outside. Did you? "Shut up." I mumbled after I had heard the door open and footsteps in, going upstairs and then more coming towards me. Really I probably should just settle down before getting mad at Riley. But just thinking about Juniper made me forget all about that plan and I shut my eyes for a moment. I didn't need to be mad at Riley, not really at least.
Course you do. He knows that you had them come here to hide and everything.
Opening my eyes again I looked up at Riley, really only half glaring and not trying too.
After maybe half a moment I let my gaze down from him and looked at the ground, knowing that I shouldn't be mad at him, especially since the only threat was Juniper and that the possibility of anyone coming after Riley was slim.
No, because you were a traitor and a spy the last war, and now you're suddenly a supporter? They're watching you.
I stayed silent for a few more moments, not sure what to do now, trying to decide between letting this go or getting into an arguement with Riley.

I saw the semi-glare that she seemed to be giving me and I really wasn't sure how to react to it. What did I do to deserve that look? I haven't even seen her in a few days, how could have I done something that would get her angry with me?
She stayed silent and I just kept my eyes on her, wondering if she was going to say anything or not. ".. Riyann?" I asked her quietly after a moment, slightly cautiously now that I wasn't sure what she was going to do, or say... or yell I guess.

After a moment I pulled my feet up onto the couch with me and brought my knees to my chest, feeling like that little girl again and being interrigated with silly questions for no reason at all. Really I was only trying to see what I should do, start yelling at him because he has in fact been outside and in the wizarding world, or just let it go or at least explain to him nicely why he is actually here.
"Silly." I muttered against a soft breath so that Riley wouldn't be able to hear it.
Letting out a long sigh I glanced up at him, half my face now hidden behind my arms that were crossed on my knees.
What to do? Little Riyann confused now? I bit against my lower lip to hold back a comment and I tried not to think too much on why I was here, I never was here so shouldn't I be all happy and I love you Riley?
It's his fault you're not.

She mumbled something after bringing her knees up to her chest that I couldn't understand and I walked a bit closer to her, sitting down on the couch next to her. I was still slightly hesitant to since she seemed to be upset with me, but I didn't know what to do, so that's just where I ended up.
".. Is um.. is everything okay?" I asked after another moment looking at her carefully.

I felt the couch move slightly as more weight was added to it when Riley sat down next to me and I squeezed my eyes shut tight.
Now you look like a fool. Maybe you should just leave until you figure out what to do. "Shut up." I said and then bit my lip. "Not you Riley." I whispered, shaking my head slightly and turning my head faintly to look at him, biting my lip even more.
Do not even think of not telling him that he has to stay here and he can't go out like he has been. "I'll do what I want." I hissed, slightly louder than a whisper, shaking my head and squeezing my eyes shut again.
So far I hadn't even answered Riley, I'd only said that I wasn't telling him to shut up, and so far I was trying to not tell him what to do. I didn't want him to just lose everything because I was stupid enough to get the dark mark.
You could go kill yourself so you wouldn't have to restrict him on what he can and can't do. "Shut up." There was more venom in my voice and I shut me eyes even tighter now before letting my body relax, no longer curling my fists that I hadn't known I was curling and I sighed softly.
"Don't lie Riley Pearson." I said, though I wasn't sure if I wanted to say these words or if I could stop and I turned my head towards him slightly. "Why exactly do you think you and the kids are here?"

I watched her even more carefully now. I thought the whole talking to herself thing was over and done with. It'd been so long since I'd heard it happen. And now that it seems it started again, I was beginning to worry a bit more as I sat there.
She eventually started to speak to me and I listened, watching her a bit more closely than i had a moment before.
Once I heard what she said, I was pretty sure what she was getting at. Why she seemed upset. That was when I shifted my eyes to the floor, pausing for a few moments instead of anwering. I knew I shouldn't be out.. I knew what we were doing.. why we were staying here.
"I know why we're here.." I murmured, letting out a faint breath. ".. There's only so much being stuck in this house I can take."

I let a soft sigh pass my lips when he started answer my question and I shut my eyes again, biting my lip before pushing myself up off the couch and starting to walk away from Riley and going towards the stairs. I wasn't sure what I was going to do, but they'd already left and Juniper more than likely knew that they were here so they had to go somewhere else, that and Riley didn't want to stay here anyways.
I didn't answer because I didn't want to fight with him, I didn't want to say anything as to why I was walking away I didn't say anything as to why they now needed to go somewhere else. I didn't say that they needed to. I just knew that they did.
So far I'd been trying to not let anything happen to them when they'd just been doing it all on their own, when really I was probably just tearing at our marriage like I'd done so many other times.

She didn't answer. And honestly, I feel like it made it all the more worse. I knew she was mad at me... maybe even more than mad, and she wasn't saying anything. I would probably rather her yell at me. I knew that what I did was wrong and now I've messed something up. I risked my life and more importantly the life of our kids.
She got up from the couch and started to walk away. I didn't know what to do. Was I supposed to follow her?
"Are you.. just walking away from me now?" I asked her after a moment as she went closer to the stairs.

"No." I said, even though I really was just walking away from him and that he probably really didn't like it and that I probably was right there making everything all the more worse. "I'm going upstairs to once again pack everything up and hopefully think of somewhere else you can go." I explained further after turning around to look at him, not saying if it was because he'd been followed or someone had seen them or if it was just because he couldn't take being stuck in this house for so long.

It wasn't just this house. Honestly, the house was fine. It was just being stuck in one place for so long. It didn't matter where it was, it got to me. I liked being outdoors, I liked doing things.
I stood up and sighed, following her. "Why're you packing.. did someone see us?" I asked as I caught up with her.

I started back up the stairs when Riley started following me, obviously it wasn't because he couldn't stay in this house, I was sure that he knew that, and his question basically said that, but I didn't answer, which really was answer enough if Riley really thought about it, hopefully he'd think about it and wouldn't ask anymore questions, like about who saw them. Or if there were any threats being made, all of which I could answer.

"Well, do I get any details?" I asked a moment later, when she didn't say anything. Her not saying anything did basically answer the question I asked her a moment before. And well.. it was obvious that she was probably more than pissed about it.

"Why? Shouldn't you know how it happened?" I asked, well it came out more snappish than a simple question and I bit my lip as I came to the top of the stairs and started for my old bedroom where the girls were. Then I stopped, really I don't think we should argue infront of them like other times. And Justin's downstairs still.

"Riyann, please don't start this with me right now." I said shaking my head a little bit, not liking the snappish tone she used on me. I knew I was wrong to have left the house and I hoped that maybe she would understand what it was like to be trapped somewhere. The only difference was I was trapped with little kids. Then again, maybe the snappish tone was alright. I was with kids. Our kids. And I put them in danger becuase I had cabin fever.
"If I knew there was someone watching us, I wouldn't've left." I said shaking my head a little more.

"Why not?" I asked, I knew that staying in hiding when you didn't want to was tiresome, I had to deal with being Payton and I had to deal with Riley thinking I was dead, and then later deal with the fact that it almost got him killed because it was Riley, and then I just stopped and decided that if something happened it would happen. I let a sigh blow past my lips and put a hand to my forehead before brushing some hair from my face.
"That's why you're here Riley. Incase something happened." I whispered, still not turning to face him.

"Because the girls are down the hallway." I said shaking my head a little bit. I didn't want to get into a huge fight right infront of them again.
"I know.. its just.. I don't know.." I said mumbling slightly, shaking my head as I shifted my eyes to the floor. "Let's just go pack." I murmured moving past her.

"I know that." I said, still continuing for some unknown reason, maybe just to be stubborn, or to just start a fight with him, because really, shouldn't I know that the girls were just down the hallway. Making you sound stupid.
"Right." I muttered as he moved past me and I stayed where I was and ran a hand through my hair. I hated this, I really did. I was never home and now this.

I nodded faintly when she said she knew. I was assuming that she did know, I just didn't want it to accidnetly happen either. If it doesn't get stopped, more than likely we were going to end up fighting about ths. And if we were going to fight I'd rather us be in a room so I could put a silencing charm on it.. or something.
I walked into the room I was staying in and opened up the top drawer to the dresser. I was only using about a draw or so for my clothes, so packing wasn't going to take long.

I let a small sigh past my lips when he moved to the room that he had been staying in when I was last here and I just let my eyes follow him before running a hand back through my hair again.
Things just never seem to stop with me. Or maybe it's just between Riley and I that things are wrong. I shook my head, not wanting that thought to stay. It was all me with the problems. The dark mark, talking to myself, fighting, leaving those few but many times, and every other such thing.
After I noticed that I was still standing where Riley had left me I moved and leaned against the wall before sliding down it.

I heard her sigh as I moved into the room and sighed silently to myself, frowning a bit more than before. I put my clothes that I had taken out of my drawer into my small duffel bag and once it was all packed zipped it up.
I was slightly surprised that she didn't follow me.. That she just sort of let the whole subject drop for at least now I guess. I left the bag where it was before walking back out into the hallway. I sighed and slid down the wall, sitting next to Riyann. "I'm sorry." I said quietly, running my hands through my hair a bit too.

It was quiet, at least in the hallway, though there were muffled sounds and voices from the twins in the bedroom that had the door shut, and small sounds of Riley packing things, but I just shut my eyes and brought my knees to my chest. I'm not sure why but maybe I always wrapped my arms around them and held them tight against my chest out of comfort, but I always did it so that was enough of an answer for me.

It didn't even seem like she heard me.. or maybe she did and she was just ignoring me? ".. Riyann.." I mumbled quietly after a few moments, glancing over to her now. ".. Are you just gonna pretend I'm not sitting here?" I asked her now keeping my eyes on her instead of just taking small glances.

I opened my eyes now after hearing Riley's voice, just now realizing he was sitting next to me and I looked at him after he asked if I was going to pretend he wasn't there. "Why would I do that?" I asked, my voice muffled against my arms that my face was pressed against and I turned my eyes away from him and looked across the hall at the almost cream colored wall and let a small sigh past my lips before shutting my eyes lightly again. In all honesty I was completely exhausted and didn't much feel like doing anything now that I thought about it. Too much work and effort to do everything at once.

"I just... I said I was sorry and you didn't even show any signs that I was sitting here.." I said quietly, shaking my head a little bit. ".. And maybe because you're mad at me?" I asked her a moment later, shifiting my eyes to the floor, still frowning some.

"Don't be." I whispered. He didn't have any reason to be sorry because this was all very well my own fault, all down to the fact that Juniper knew they were hiding, and obviously not very well. "I'm sorry." I whispered, still looking at the wall somewhat tiredly, wishing I didn't have to deal with this today, feeling like I could sleep for a week at a time if I really wanted.

I shrugged faintly, "I think I should be at least a bit sorry..." I said quietly with a small sigh. I looked over to her slightly confused as to why she was saying sorry. "You don't have a reason to be sorry." I told her as I looked over to her again, giving her a ghost of a smile, just now noticing that she looked quite tired.

I just shook my head a little. "You didn't know anyone saw you." I whispered softly, moving my forehead against my arms this time, shutting my eyes lightly. "I-I, I just keep messing everything up." I wanted to continue, but I had a feeling I wouldn't get it all out and whatever I said probably wouldn't make much sense.

I shrugged faintly again, "Doesn't really matter does it?" I asked quietly with another small sigh. I shook my head a little bit at what she said, "No you don't, love." I said still in the slightly quiet voice, shaking my head slighty.
