The laughter had stopped and she dropped her hands. Carmen glanced over at the two right before Ryos had flung him. She ran over to Ryos hugging him tight. She didn’t even reply to his question. Carmen was glad he was okay and in one piece though, unlike her nightmares. Her hands grabbed at his shirt and she buried her face into his chest. She wanted to punch for scaring her, but she decided not to. Carmen just clung to him. Though Joseph’s laughter wouldn’t leave her, it was still ringing in her ears. If Avery found out about this, she wasn’t quite sure how he’d react, even if he didn’t touch her. She closed her eyes again, everything he said about their kid now replaying in her head. What if he was right?

Ryos wiped off the remaining blood with the back of his hand, he looked up at her and didn’t have time to react when she was clinging to him. He wrapped his arms around her, if he hadn’t shown Merlin knows what would’ve happened. He ran his hands through her hair, “Hey, hey, it’s okay, I’m here, I told you I had this, did you doubt that I’d be alright?” He kissed her head and then just held her there for a moment, he looked forward, “Don’t listen to the git, you’ll be an amazing mother and a child being born a werewolf is very very slim, trust me.. ” He looked down at her, “Don’t let his words bother you.”

She shook her head. The chances may have been slim but knowing her luck she'd be one of those who just so happened to have a child be born a werewolf. Carmen teared up again, this time not even trying to hold them back. Her bottom lip quivered. If there was a feeling she wish she didn't have, it'd be this one. She felt horrible. What if Joseph was right though? What if she was a horrible mother? She could barely even control her feelings anymore, maybe it was just with the Jones family. Carmen swallowed, tightening her arms around him. "Don't you dare scare me like that again."

Ryos pulled him up and then slammed him down hard again, leaning down, he kept his hand on his neck, he leaned into look at him, “I’ll let you live, I don’t know why, but I’ll let you leave, maybe give this moment to Avery who’s so long been wanting to tear you apart, limb by limb, and if you come near my daughter, if you come anywhere near my grandchild and if you so come near Jesse again when I’m around, I won’t be patient, I will personally yank out your vocal chords, skin you and let the wind blow on you, making you scream in pure agony, then I won’t kill you, I’ll just leave you there, to die a slow and very, very painful death.” He nodded with a smile, “Maybe I’ll even make you blow up inside out, I always did love that Potion and it would be such a good use, now.. I’ll be nice and I’ll use your ancient magic which most of the older generation does in fact know and I’ll apparate you to your last location, you better pray we don’t run into each other again, pray hard to Merlin, because next time.” He paused, “I won’t be so kind.” His words were cold and merciless, he was angry, more than just angry. He was enraged. He closed his eyes and then flung him, letting him disappear mid air before he walked over and picked up his wand, stuffing it in his pocket, he looked at her, “You okay?” His tone had changed and was now soft and considerate. 

The laughter had stopped and she dropped her hands. Carmen glanced over at the two right before Ryos had flung him. She ran over to Ryos hugging him tight. She didn't even reply to his question. Carmen was glad he was okay and in one piece though, unlike her nightmares. Her hands grabbed at his shirt and she buried her face into his chest. She wanted to punch for scaring her, but she decided not to. Carmen just clung to him. Though Joseph's laughter wouldn't leave her, it was still ringing in her ears. If Avery found out about this, she wasn't quite sure how he'd react, even if he didn't touch her. She closed her eyes again, everything he said about their kid now replaying in her head. What if he was right?

Blood trickled down his head and his vision was fading in and out, but he readied himself, he then looked at Joseph and spit blood out in his face with a laugh, “Is that all you got? Please, my son could hit better than you and that’s saying something!” He then reached out and cupped his hands, aiming at his ears, he slammed in quickly, he then fell on the floor, he spit out blood and wiped off his lips, standing up, he walked to him, looking down, he probably couldn’t hear and he wouldn’t be able to for a while, he pushed him down and stepped down on his throat, pushing down without any mercy. “It’s been a while since I’ve killed a man, last man I killed begged me for his life, maybe I’ll wait until you do the same.” He pushed down even more, clenching his fists tightly. “You mess with my girl and my boy, you mess with me, and that ain’t gonna happen, you’re not gonna win.” He then leaned down and punched him. 

“You pathetic piece of shit!” He then shook his head, the mere fact he spit on him disgusted him, beyond reason. An immense pain surged through his being and he suddenly dropped him, he fell to his knees and only heard ringing in his ears, he couldn’t hear, he couldn’t hear a thing that was going on around him, only that annoying ringing, it was driving him mad. Joseph found himself on the ground, looking up at him, he didn’t know what he was saying but all that he did was laugh, he began to laugh loudly, it was almost sort of an insane laugh and when he punched him, the laugh just increased.

She closed her eyes looking away. Seeing the blood brought back bad memories that she had thought she forgot. The way Ryos reacted didn't surprise her and the way he was protective of her just like every didn't even shock her. She knew it was because of how she made Avery feel, the way she made him happy. Then she heard it. His laughter. It sent chills down her spine. How creepy it sounded, like he was mad, and in her mind she could see that smirk there on his face. Carmen hadn't met a guy like that before, one so insane, and the chances were rare to have even ran into Joseph. She knew now why Avery was so worried about Jesse and her even getting near him. The man was pretty much heartless. Carmen covered her ears to try and drown out his laughter but it was no use. She couldn't hear herself think.

Ryos had developed a soft soft for her, he didn’t quite know why himself, she reminded him so much of her mother when she was younger, Ryos even though he never showed it was actually very fond of Jaime, he loved having her around and the way Leeane and her giggled over the stupidest things, it made him laugh. Back when he had more of a heart, he glanced over his shoulder, “Don’t worry kiddo, I got this.” He turned back to him, “The ancient ways huh? Of course I know about them, I always used to sneak into the restricted section at the library. You think I fear you? What is there to fear but a lonesome man who’s so broken over his wife leaving him for a Professor— ooh, it hurts doesn’t it? Sting almost. Mm. It’s like adding salt and lemon to a wound, do I hear a sizzle? Was that a burn? Poor, poor man.” He smirked.

“I’m not sure. Why don’t you tell me if it hurts.” He extended his hand and then put his other hand over his arm, twisting his hand to the left suddenly, he clenched it into a fist and flung his arm, suddenly Ryos was thrown into a tree, he looked at Carmen, “I’ll deal with you later and don’t even try to use your wand, it’s not going to work.” He smirked and then walked to Ryos, grabbing him by the neck, he lifted him, tilting his head, “My, my, my, didn’t my boy just tell you everything? You are everyone’s hero aren’t you? But apparently from what I’ve seen you can’t even take care of your own son, aren’t we all just hypocrites!?” He smashed his head against the tree and laughed, “Not so tough now are we?”

A giggle escaped her from Ryos' reply. She couldn't help it. There was a bit of a relief when he had shown up but she didn't want him hurt because of her. She was responsible for many other things and she didn't want that to weigh her down either. Carmen reach out for Ryos when Joseph snatched him from her. "Let him go!" Her voice cracked and she was starting to tear up. It was frightening how a nightmare had just become reality.

She stepped back without even thinking. He was starting to get to her and she knew it was what he wanted. Joseph just kept going and making it worse. Carmen moved her hand to her wand, better safe than sorry. She looked up at him, “just because you come around and see me eating that, doesn’t mean it’s the only thing I’ve eaten all day.” She squinted, glaring at him slightly. Her fingers curled around her wand. “At least I’d be a better parent than you.”

“Twice the better parent, much much better.” Ryos closed his eyes and nodded, he then walked to Carmen’s side and tilted his head, scrunching his nose a bit, “I sense we have a bit of a cunt here, I suggest you stay away from her or you’ll have to deal with me, and I’m not reluctant to pull out my wand and avada kedavra your ass. You’ve ruined Avery’s life quite enough. At least when Leeane was having Jared, I wasn’t THAT much of a douche, I let the kid live.” He tilted his head, “I suggest you go now.”

He looked up at the man and then scoffed. “Well, if it isn’t Avery’s big strong super hero dad?” His eyes scanned over him, “Are you sure? You all are pathetic, still needing those stupid little wands.” He chuckled, “I don’t need a wand.” He lifted his hand and aimed it at Ryos, he then tilted it and caught his wand in his hand, “Weird how dependent people become of these when there’s really no use for them. If you learn the way of our ancestors, wands were created to keep power in check, even some muggles know much better than all of you.” He smirked at the duo. 

She blinked and looked up at Ryos. Carmen moved behind him holding onto his sleeve like Nadia would do when she was shy. "P-papa be careful." she whispered.  It was odd how close she had gotten to Jared's father, after hearing that he was a terrible guy from Jared. Though that wasn't the case, he was always nice to her, and they often joked about Avery together, which didn't amuse him at all but they always had fun. Ryos had taken her father's place, though she didn't even know her father. Her grip on his sleeve got tighter and she tugged at it wanting him to leave while he could.
