Prolong

There are no endings, only new beginnings.

It was clear, starry night in Oceano, California. Sitting in a bedroom reading a book, in a two-story house on Woodland Street, was a young girl. The house was known as the Evans Residence even though the young girl lived there by herself, well that was once true anyway. This young girl's name was Riley Evans and she was a high school graduate even though she had just turned sixteen. Riley's parents had died ten years previous when their house caught on fire. Young Riley got lucky that day as she was staying over at her friends, Carrie and Lisha. She was then sent to live with her grandmother the next day. She did not just lose her parents though her grandmother had died of a heart attack, a week after her graduation, two years ago. Riley had stayed in the house even after her grandmother's unfortunate death, for in her will she had left Riley one final gift, other than the family fortune, emacipacation. Since then she had lived there alone until about a year ago when Allora and Lisha had come to stay with her.

Times that, anyone saw how they acted together that they would say that they were sisters, even though only two of them were sisters. Well that is until they got a good look at the three of them. Riley was about 5' 9", with black hair that came down to her waist, she had lightly tanned skin, and light blue eyes. Lisha was about 5' 6" with light brown hair that stopped in the middle of her back, sun-toned skin, and green eyes. Allora was about 5' 7" with dark blond hair that stopped just below her waist, pale skin, and pale green eyes.

Fifteen year old Allora and Lisha Jada, twin sisters that had graduated at the same time Riley did, had lost their parents to a car crash, when a drunk driver hit the vehicle their parents were in. As they had no other living family, they were going to be sent to an orphanage. All three of them, Allora, Lisha, and Riley, had fought tooth and nail over that. In the end, they had what they wanted and went to live with Riley at her house. The three of them had gotten jobs as not to spend what money their families had left to them. Any free time that the three had was usually spent by; reading, creating ideas, turning their ideas into reality, going to the mall, or just hanging out anywhere they could.

Riley was sitting on her bed reading a book with her new pet cat, Stella who she had saved from the pound only four days previous, laying on a pillow. When Riley got to the end of the chapter she was reading, she looked up and over that the clock. She blinked in surprise at how late it had gotten while she had been reading. Placing a bookmark in to mark her place, she closed the book. Taking off her reading glasses, she sat them down on the nightstand next to the bed. Getting up she walked over to the desk in the corner of the room and sat the book down on it. Turning around she walked back to her bed and pulled the covers down. After lying down in bed, she reached over to the nightstand and turned off the lamp that she had been using to read. It did not take her long to fall asleep after the light was out.
