Ryo Desdemona walked down the street, rain soaking her black robes
through to her cloths. 'It just isn't fair', she thought, as her tears
mixed with the rain on her face.
Ryo currently lived with her three sisters and dad, along with two stepsisters and stepmother in Los Angeles, California, but she spent most of her year at Estromia, the American Wizarding School, as did her sisters and stepsisters. Now, her family and she were leaving. Her father had accepted a place at the ministry of magic, and they had to move to England for him to work.
As Ryo walked through the door, her mother frowned upon her wet clothing.
"Ryo, you're going to catch pneumonia!" She said, rushing up to take her robes from her. "So? I blame you for that! I wouldn't be out saying goodbye to my whole life if we didn't have to leave it all behind!" Ryo said, coolly. Her mother was taken aback, but still continued on. "Well maybe if you were like your sisters, and didn't have to stay out so late to say your good-byes, then you wouldn't be so wet." Her mother said, bitterly. "Somehow I knew you were going to say that. Well, I have one piece of information for you. I have more friends than my sisters. Maybe if they were more liked, then they'd be out later." Ryo shot back, then turned on her heal and headed upstairs to her room.
"Hey Ryo." Nika Desdemona said to her drenched sister as she walked into the room. Ryo began to dry out her deep black hair.
Nika was and had always been the shy, coveting type. She had always wished that she had been born with black hair instead of her blonde hair. But she made do, as she enjoyed putting odd colored streaks in her hair regularly. This time they were red.
"Hey Nika. You know, sometimes I think that you're the only one of my sisters with any brains. I'm actually glad to say that I share a room with you, instead of one of our other sisters." Ryo said, looking at her with pastel green eyes. Nika had green eyes also, only they were solid green, and that was probably the only thing that she liked about her appearance. Nika was tall and lanky, something she believed was dull in appearance.
Ryo was tall and thin, with just the right amount of everything, everywhere. Or so Nika thought. Ryo thought high about herself also, but some of her other sisters thought that she was stuck up, and snobbish.
"Finally back, are you Ryo?" Ryo's stepsister, Adri, asked sarcastically, leaning on the doorframe, her arms crossed over her chest. "I really don't think that it's any of your business, Adri." Ryo said in her usually cool voice.
Adri Nia slightly resembled even her stepsisters. Even though she had shoulder length brown hair with red highlights and blue-violet eyes, she had the same full lips as Ryo, and the same tall, lanky body as Nika.
"I think I have a right to know, since you are my stepsister." Adri said, giving a fake smile. "I think that you have the right to jump off of a cliff into a burning brush fire, since you are my step-sister." Ryo said, with a sarcastically enthusiastic face planted firmly.
Adri sneered at her, then walked out of the room and down the hall. Ryo sneered back, mocking her. She then walked out of the room, turning the other way towards the bathroom to take a shower.
Nika was left alone in the room, but not for long. A tall girl that looked almost identical to Adri walked in. Her hair was a little darker, and didn't have streaks in it. But she did have red contacts in her eyes. She went over to the bed to sit down, reading a book. As she sat down, she closed the book and sat it on the bed. It was a book about apparation, something she was learning to do.
"Hey Nika." She said as she put her book down. "Hey Nika." Nika replied to her. It was awkward that their names were the same, but there was nothing their parents could do when they got married.
Nika Nia was the oldest of them all, as she was in her last year of school. She felt sorry for Nika, because she didn't have many friends in the family. Ryo and Nika were the only ones, and Ryo seldom got along with the family.
"You okay? I realized you were the first home today." Nika asked her, sympathetically. "I'm fine. I just didn't want to say goodbye to people. It would upset me too much." Nika said.
"NIKA!" A voice yelled from down the hall. I girl at a medium height with long, flowing blonde hair walked into the room, anger spread across her face. "What did you do with my Linkin Park CD? I have to finish packing my stuff, and I can't do it without that CD!" Her emerald green eyes glared with anger. Nika Nia got up, grabbing her book.
"You need to calm down Armella. Just follow me. I'll get it." Nika walked out of the room, Her sister close on her heels.
Nika began to finish packing her stuff, but didn't want to break her CD player, because she wasn't strong enough to hold it.
"KAERIA! I NEED YOUR HELP!" She shouted at her sister, knocking on the wall. "You don't have to yell!" Presumably Kaeria said, patiently to her sister. "What do you need?" Kaeria was the stronger of the sisters, and they all usually looked to her for help with moving or in this case, packing things.
"I want you to help me move my stereo, please." Nika said politely, as usual. "I can do that." Kaeria said, grabbing a ponytail holder from Ryo's desk and pulling her long brown hair back into a loose ponytail. She was always kind to her sisters, and her bright green eyes shone out with all of the happiness she had to offer to her family.
Kaeria was also tall, but built more like Ryo than the rest of her sisters. She was also the youngest. She smiled after she carefully set the stereo down inside of the box. "Pity really, that we can't use magic during the holidays." Nika said, smiling. "Then we wouldn't have to bother you all the time." Nika said, grabbing her CD's, but leaving Ryo's alone. She didn't want her mad at her before the move.
"I guess I'll go back and help that silly stepsister of ours. Shame, I get stuck rooming with the one member of our family I don't like. At least at the new house, we'll each have our own room." Kaeria smiled, then headed off down the hall.
Ryo had a fit when she came back into the room, a towel on her head, to find out that her hair tie was gone. She yelled at Kaeria, who simply laughed and apologized, giving it to a very angry Ryo. That wasn't something out of the ordinary.
Ryo currently lived with her three sisters and dad, along with two stepsisters and stepmother in Los Angeles, California, but she spent most of her year at Estromia, the American Wizarding School, as did her sisters and stepsisters.
