This chapter is mostly description of events and stuff. Not a lot really happens I jsut kind of tell you stuff. I think I get to the point of babbling but never mind...

Chapter 1

Not too far from London is the city of Reading. Reading had both new and old houses of all shapes and sizes. To the south East of Reading's town centre was the suburb Lower Early. In the last few years Lower Early had a large section of its old houses torn down and the land was bought up by different housing industries. The new estates had new houses of all shapes and sizes made out of brick but some of the houses had black and white stones used to decorate the front and backs of the houses whilst others were plain red brick and others sported a sort of creamy paste on the front giving the walls a cleaner look but also rough and sometimes sharp to the touch.

Among the many new houses was an estate for larger houses with five, six and seven bedrooms in. These houses had double garages and some even had extensions over the garages to have extra storage rooms or even a larger master bedroom. One of these houses, a number 119 Alpine Road, supported a family of four in its large six bedrooms.

As with all the houses nearby 119 Alpine Road had a large hall with a large kitchen with a breakfast bar that had double doors leading through to a dining room. A lounge stretched right across nearly one half of the house and with two bathrooms tucked away. There was also a large study with the stairs to the upstairs right next to the door. The whole downstairs of the house was decorated in natural colours like creams, browns and light oranges with green carpets. The kitchen was decorated with slate floors as was the utility room and there were clean creamy walls littered with pictures and decorative herbs.

The study was a similar to the rest of the downstairs with very little colour to the walls, though since it was a newly built house and the occupants had only been living in the house a few weeks there had been little time to properly decorate. The study had a lovely wooden floor of a rich golden brown colour. The walls had panes of wood in the same colour to the floor going to about waist height of the averaged sized person. The rest of the walls were a calm but warm cream and there were no pictures or decorations in this room. There was a red chair off to one side of the room with its back to the wall and set at an angle. Next to the chair were two identical bookcases loaded completely with books. A desk sat not too far away with a laptop humming from being wired up to the mains to be charged up. Over the other side of the room next to the large windows was a tall music stand holding a few pieces of paper. Next to the stand was a Violin case and next to that was a stand with a brilliant silver coloured whistle that would have been a tin whistle had it been made out of tin. Next to this again was a piano in the same colour wood as the floor and half the walls were done in. This room was the only room downstairs that had been decorated by the family and it was exactly the same as the study they'd had in all their previous houses.

Upstairs there was a bit more life. The master bedroom was at the end of the hall and was decorated in a rich, royal blue. The walls were painted a rich blue that seemed warm despite the colour. Pictures hung around the rooms showing people with smiling faces doing all sorts of activities. A large wardrobe stood to one side made out of a medium coloured wood. Next to the wardrobe was a chest of drawers in the same colour wood. On the opposite side of the room and next to a white door into a large en suite bathroom was a vanity table with three mirrors offering different angles of view and many different assortments of glass dishes and decorations. Te bed stood in the centre of the room and it was a bed larger than most. It had four pillows stacked in piles of two at the head of the bed and large thick duvets contained in blue cases that matched the walls. An over throw for the bed was white though and had white elephants sewed into it out of a silky material.

Next door was a child's bedroom decorated vastly in silvers and reds. There was a single bed pushed up against the wall and a wardrobe with three drawers at the bottom of it. There was a desk and a computer and a very large collection of cuddly toys and on the walls were badges and awards from swimming, tennis and horse riding. There was also a large book case containing school books and reading books in all different languages. The room belonged to a little girl, that much was obvious from the school uniform with a skirt that had been casually thrown to the floor when the owner was in a hurry to change.

The next room was the same size as the one previously. This room was decorated in yellows and lots of different types of yellows. A sports uniform was thrown on the floor and around the room there were medals for sprinting. On shelves there were cups for the team having won the football matches and hockey matches played.

The final bedroom that was used as such had pale blue walls decorated with balloons and birds and clouds. A single child's bed was to one side of the room and three large toy chests were along the other side. At the foot of the bed was a wardrobe and set of drawers. In the middle of the made up bed was a huge teddy bear that had obviously been well loved and various other cuddly toy animals were littered around the bed with not one animal being the same as the next in species. There were also swimming badges. A five meters, ten meters, twenty five meters and a fifty meters certificate and badge were hung with expensive but elegant frames on the wall above the bed.

The two other bedrooms were used differently. One was a play room with books chairs and toys and games all around and many toys left out on the floor. The final room had an extremely large tank in it with long thick branches and stones on the floor. The tanks had three radiators at different points in it and a coloured light. Inside the tank were three long, but slender, snakes. One of the snakes was a brownie colour but it had some blue diamond shaped markings on its back. That one was called Skylar. The second snake was black all over except for a few red scales in diamond shapes with yellow patches inside them. Sierra was her name. The final snake was the biggest and was black with the majority of his scales a green colour. He was Silas and they, besides the family in the house, were the only other occupants.

A man with dark brown hair sat in the large red chair in the study reading a book quietly to himself. His dark blue eyes were so deep that one would have sworn the oceans were in his eyes. Had the man been standing he would have reached at least six foot and his messy brown locks of hair hung over his forehead. The dark curls of the tresses sometimes curled into the man's eyes but if they did he would just brush them away. At the back of his head his slight curls were pulled back into a short pony tail and had the hair all been free there was no doubt it would have reached to about three centimetres below his chin in gentle but unmistakable curls.

The man didn't have long hair because it was a popular thing; he had grown his hair because it was more manageable when it was longer. At least now he could get some of it out of his face when he wanted to read his books, weed the garden or cook meals.

A richly tanned hand reached up and brushed the soft hair out of his eyes once more before he went back to his Russian novel. His figure was tall and strong. He was muscled and toned all over his body and his body had been like that when he'd woken up in hospital about ten years ago with amnesia and with no voice.

He had been in a car crash roughly twelve years ago. He was in a taxi on his way somewhere when a car drove into the side of the taxi. The driver had been killed instantly and the man had amnesia and some rather bad breaks and cuts. He healed completely apart from his voice. Apparently there was nothing wrong with his voice, according to doctors anyway, and the police had found a note pad with 'I'd like to go to the nearest estate agents please' written on it. From that everyone had assumed that the man was mute before the accident but he didn't remember.

Well, he said he didn't remember. What better way, after all, to start a completely new life away from his past life than not remember his own name or any of his past? He did remember his real name, he did know his real age and he knew that he was very different to the rest of the world. Still, those things were secrets that, hopefully, wouldn't be uncovered.

For twelve years now the man had been Reese Tylere and he claimed to be 35years old now. He was American and it was decided that his birthday would be the 30th of June. It was all a lie, a complete and utter lie. Nearly everything about Reese, all his details and his features, were a lie. The only thing that wasn't a lie was his character and even then there were parts that were denied to the world. He was only 29 really and was quickly approaching his pretend birthday though he was only a month away from his real one. He was supposed to have bright emerald green eyes and the blackest raven coloured hair around. But those things were secrets; no-one was allowed to know.

The man heard the faint chiming of the grandfather clock in the dinning room. Sighing a nearly silent sigh the man closed his Russian novel and walked silently over to the bookcase to put the book away. It was six o'clock and since it was a Monday it meant that in quarter of an hour he would no longer be alone in the house. It was time to start dinner now though he had already started it earlier

Out of the study the man closed the door and walked quickly upstairs. He walked making no sound yet his steps were purposeful and strong. His silence continued all the way across the hall and into the room at the end of the hall containing a large tank with three very different snakes in. The snakes rose up and hissed their greeting. The man opened the lid of the tank and put his arm in allowing all three snakes, one at a time, to wind up his arm and around his body to be carried down stairs.

The snakes hissed as the man moved and upon their arrival in the kitchen the snakes were allowed to leave the man's person and curl around or on various objects. The man pulled out a large metal tray from a cupboard and poured oil into it and put it in the oven. Taking out some old potatoes he proceeded to peal them and cut them before taking the metal tray out of the oven and putting all the potatoes into the hot oil making sure to spoon the oil over the potatoes and sprinkle some salt onto them.

Putting the potatoes into the oven and setting the timer for 25mins the man pulled out the casserole dish and put it on the counter. He checked the sausages were done already from where he'd started cooking them earlier. Going to the fridge the man pulled out a jug with a creamy substance in it. Pouring the thick liquid over the sausages the man smiled as he listened to the sizzling sounds. Putting the jug in the dishwasher the man placed the casserole dish back in the oven to cook and set about putting peas into a dish and readying the carrots and broccoli for cooking.

At about twenty to seven the front door went off and the door opened and loud voices entered. The man grinned and dropped what he was doing. Walking out of the kitchen he found himself being gripped in a death tight hug by three pairs of strong but small hands.

"Dad!"

"Daddy!"

"Papa!" The man smiled down as his three children pulled away. Two of the children were obviously twins of about ten years of age. The male twin had short and scruffy brown hair, seemingly inherited from his father, and green eyes that Reece told him he'd got from his mother too. The girl stood next to her twin was exactly the same height of the boy and had long black hair, said to have been inherited from his mothers side since their aunt had black hair, and the same green eyes. The little boy next to them was only about five and had light brown hair and the same bright green eyes as his brother and sister. All three of them had wet hair smelling of chlorine.

"It was great swimming Papa!" The girl said enthusiastically. "We were doing breaststroke today and that's my favourite!"

"I hate breaststroke but it was still good." The boy shared. The little boy on the floor giggled happily.

"It was fun!" He said proudly. The man smiled indulgingly and raised his hands together to sign his reply.

-I'm glad you liked it. Did you make any new friends?- The family of four, not including the pets, had only been in town for three weeks and it was pure chance that the twin boy had told a neighbour that they all loved swimming. The neighbour had then given their dad the address of the swimming pool and he'd booked them all in for swimming lessons twice a week. The neighbour, by the name of Lynn Walker, had offered to take them every week. The twins swum in an hour class whilst the little boy had a lower level lengths class for half an hour.

"No but they're all nice." The girl said and the boys nodded in agreement. Reese gestured them inside a little more and went to take their bags away from them. Taking the bags he poked his head out the front door and waved a thank you to Lynn next door who was still trying to usher her two children inside. Frankie, aged 9, and Laura, aged 12, were always making trouble. Frankie went to an all boys school nearby whilst Laura went to the girls school near the town centre. There was no boarding option but since Lynn was a house wife the children always got dropped off at school and picked up though they rarely listened to their mother.

Reese closed the door and emptied the swim bags. Shoving all three towels straight in the washing machine he turned it on all the while listening to his children watching the T.V in the lounge and chatting. All three snakes had left the kitchen by now and were obviously in the lounge from the way the youngest boy kept laughing loudly and telling them, in English, to stop trying to push him off the seat. Taking the swim suits and goggles out of the bag the man filled the sink full of cold water to rinse them out. He stopped once in a while to change the vegetables in the microwave but mostly he didn't deviate from his task. Having rinsed all three suits out he took them into the upstairs bathroom where there was a drying cupboard and he hung them up just as the cooker went signalling everything was ready.

The family ate in the dining room and Reese listened to his children talk then made comments using the sign language he had learned about twelve years ago. Even after all these years Reese continued to be a mute. He was probably genuinely one now. He never spoke using his voice though he did whisper his children's names when he wanted their attention or during a particularly affectionate moment. Because of his past Reese had become scared to speak, afraid that using his voice would cause something incredibly bad to happen. It was a silly fear, he knew that, but it was his fear nonetheless and he wouldn't speak unless he absolutely had to.

It was well past seven by the time the family had finished eating. Reese had only the vegetables and some of the Yorkshire pudding whilst his children had vegetables and the toad in the hole. Whilst Reese didn't mind his family eating meat or him having to cook the meat he wouldn't eat it himself. He'd gone vegetarian when he'd started his new life and was quite happy with his life as it was.

"Daddy, can I read to you before bed?" The oldest boy asked.

-Yes, in fact why don't you read now and everyone can listen.- The boy nodded and left the table to go get his book. His twin and younger brother also left the table and both went upstairs to get various things. Reese knew from experience that his youngest would come back downstairs in his PJ's and his daughter would help him change. His youngest may have been five but that didn't mean that he could get his top on the right way. He had a big problem with his clothes though otherwise he was very smart.

Reese cleared up the kitchen and put all the dirty dishes and pans in the dishwasher before turning it on. Leaving the room he went to find his children. Entering the lounge Reese sat down on the large green sofa and relaxed into the cushions allowing a snake to coil around his each of his feet and the third snake to curl up next to him on the seat to be petted.

As he'd guessed his youngest came downstairs with his daughter though both were changed this time. His eldest son then came into the room also wearing his pyjamas and carrying a book. Quickly reading the title Reese noticed it was his son's favourites though it was written in Greek.

Half an hour later Reese stopped his eldest son from reading and helped his youngest up bed. Tucking the little boy into bed Reese gave him a kiss on the forehead.

"Night Papa."

"Lucas." Reese whispered unable to do much else. Lucas smiled brightly knowing that by whispering Reese was showing how much he loved him.

Reese left his son and went downstairs. The twins were reading silently on the sofa. The black, red and yellow snake was coiled in the girls lap fitting perfectly in the middle of them from where the girl had sat down cross legged on the sofa. The snake with blue scales, Skylar, was coiled around the boy's arm and shoulders. The green snake looked to be fast asleep in the middle of the sofa.

"Thias. Lyssia." Reese whispered immediately attracting the attention of his children. Reese then signed what he wanted to say. –You have half an hour before bed and in the morning you must shower.-

"Yes Dad."

"Okay." The children replied.

Reese had everyone but himself in bed by nine. The snakes had been fed and put away and his children tucked up in bed. Reese however stayed up in the lounge with the Russian novel he was reading earlier being completely determined to finish another chapter before he went to bed at half ten.

Now Reese was English. He was 100 English. The only reason he was reading Russian books and that his children were reading Greek books was because of Reese's late wife.

After being released from the hospital after the accident Reese had a whole new identity and a new age. Whilst he was nineteen really, he was now twenty four as Reese Tylere. He used the money he'd brought with him in a magical bottomless bag that no-one else could see and changed it up at various different banks. By the time he was twenty five he had met a wonderful woman called Noelle Sewell. Noelle was five years older than him, or so she thought, when instead he was ten years younger. Noelle was a French woman who spoke impeccable English. She was a Languages Professor and was set on learning as many different languages as she could. When they'd met she spoke five languages already fluently: French, German, Spanish, Polish and English.

They'd met in America where Noelle had decided to learn sign language on an impulse. Reese was very glad she had decided to do that as it gave them the chance to meet. She was currently in America practising her English and to learn sign language. It was a year long course but in the end, since Noelle was very smart and Reese had already learnt some sign language they' quit early together and gotten married not long after that. They rushed things, sure, but they loved each other and Reese didn't have a job and since Noelle was on a learning holiday and working as a teacher at a school, whilst she practised her English, they'd decided to start a family.

In the end they'd had twins. The oldest was a boy named Matthias James Tylere and the little girl who was younger by an hour was named Allyssia Jasmine Tylere. Not long after the birth of the twins the family had moved to Greece in accordance to Noelle's plan. They stayed there for three years and it was their favourite place. They didn't stay in Athens because of the air pollution but they were near a beech on a quieter island and Noelle got a job at teaching the local high school children French and English.

After spending a forth year there because of a mistake in Noelle's work contract they went to Russia. The twins had already picked up some Greek words and Reese had learned that he could understand Greek even though he'd never visited Greece before or been taught the language. To him everything sounded like English. He had, however, spent his time learning how to read Greek. Learning to read and write it was very difficult because he was mute and couldn't practise saying the words in anything more than a nearly silent whisper.

In Russia Reese found the same thing happened. People would talk to him and he'd understand them even though he couldn't say anything back to them. He still refused to speak though he knew the words. With practise, like he had in Greece, he heard the words in Russian but knew the translation immediately in his head. He never spoke but he understood and knew that if he was able to speak then he would be able to speak in both Russian and Greek.

They only stayed a year in Russia since Noelle knew Russian already and had only wanted to practise. Moving to France to visit her sister Henrietta Kieran and Henrietta's husband Randolph. Reese and Noelle helped teach them sign language so they could understand Reese and their children helped teach too whilst they learned of course. Then Noelle fell pregnant again and disaster struck eight months later.

Noelle had had complications during childbirth and was dying. Their new baby named Lucas Evan Tylere had been one month premature because Noelle's body couldn't continue to house the baby. Reese and the children had seen her before Reese tried to send the children out of the room as Noelle finally lost her life but couldn't. Before Noelle died though Reese managed to whisper her name as she'd requested as her dying wish. Since then he'd not spoken for months only to finally say the names of his family. He'd only say their names though and never anything else and he'd only ever speak when he absolutely had too.

After Noelle died the four of them continued on with her plan. She'd planned to move to lots of different countries and pick up lots of new languages. Reese helped his children go to back to Russia and Greece but they also visited France at least four times a year too. They also visited Africa at one point but they didn't stay long. They only spent three weeks on safari before going back to Russia. Reese hadn't followed Noelle's plans properly but he'd kept them moving around for four years. His children picked up all the different languages very quickly though only Lucas seemed to be like Reese. Lucas could also hear a language and understand it but the difference between them was that Lucas would also speak it.

When they went to England again in between their quarterly visit to France and their visit to Greece the children had perfected their English to their correct age levels. At home their first language was English. Noelle had loved the French language but she spoke English as her first since it was the language Reese first knew and she's grown so used to talking in English with him and him replying in signs whilst she translated to her children that everyone spoke English at home.

Now though, the family was back in England once again. They'd bought a house using Reese's money, since Reese was rich, and had been living there for three weeks. The children had settled in very well, as they always did, but it was obvious that they missed their other homes and other languages. Matthias, or Thias as Reese had to call him, liked Greek best as did Allyssia, or Lyssia. Allyssia did love her French though. Lucas liked everything, he didn't have favourites. He liked all languages and all animals except monkeys because a monkey had nicked his favourite hat once and hit him with his tail by accident. Lucas even liked insects, he thought they were funny.

Reese closed his book and put it away before going upstairs and changing his clothes for bed. Cleaning his teeth Reese slipped between the covers of his bed and closed his eyes. His favourite language, out of the ones he'd learned, were Russian, English and Parseltongue. Even though people had been scared of him at school Reese hadn't given up his speaking Parseltongue and since speaking to snakes didn't require a voice box. He spoke to his pet snakes all the time though his children didn't know since he'd sworn the snakes to secrecy.

Why would he have to make the snakes swear to keep it a secret though? That was simple because since the death of Voldemort Harry Potter had been the only Parseltongue. Harry Potter had then disappeared, changed his name and lost his voice. His children, all three of his children, though had inherited that ability and Harry Potter, aka Reese Tylere didn't want anyone to know just in case he was discovered.

As normal please review. It will help me know whether to continue this story or not and yes I know I have others on the go but my muse was bugging me. Please review. Gemxxx
