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.

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 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.

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?"

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. 

Carmen messed with her shirt sleeve avoiding eye contact with the guy. She didn’t enjoy just how easily he could read her, just like Avery, that indeed did make her feel uncomfortable. She tried her best to stay calm, forcing the tears back. She herself would be hurt if something had happened to the kid. “I’ve eaten.. A lot even.” Her voice softened. Joseph was right though, she wasn’t ready but it wasn’t something she’d admit. 

It was an amusing sight indeed, the way she kept looking away from him as if trying to block him out, yet her body signs gave off all he needed to know and her aura helped, he took a few steps towards her, "Nothing healthy that could benefit the child. You expect it to survive off of some sort of muggle treat? Please. Even I a man know better than that." He smirked, "Does it hurt Carmen? To know you just might not be the greatest mother?"

I was curious, I told you. That child, don’t set your hopes up too high, it might not live to even be a year old. Which truly is a pity, might being the key word here though. -he smirked and then chuckled-

.. It’s not me who I’m worried about with this kid, Jones. I don’t expect much because I know I’ll probably just going to be disappointed. If the child lives, then it does. If it doesn’t -she shrugged- we tried. -she swallowed. just the thought hurt her but she wouldn’t show it. She knew avery would be devastated, he had been so happy when she told him-

Nice act kid, but I can hear your heart and as soon as you said that, your heartbeat increased, yet your temperature dropped, it hurts to hear those words out loud doesn't it? We tried? -laughs- Sure you did, sure, sure you did. And you've barely ate anything as of late, how do you expect it to survive on those conditions even? You're just a kid, trying to take care of another.. not even ready.

Obviously you will. The child might die though, I’d be careful. -he smirked and turned around- In all honesty, I don’t, have a nice day Carmen.

-she set her hand on her stomach and looked down- All this negativity.. I’m really starting to dislike that smirk of yours, Mr. Jones. -she looked up- it’s like you’re planning something in your head and using that smirk as a warning. I don’t know what you’re capable of, but Avery has warned me about you, and quite a few others.

-He turned on his heels to look at her again- Oh? Am I making you uncomfortable dear? Are you beginning to question me? I told Avery he should never have a child, plague a child with his curse, do you have any idea how very little chance a child has of surviving such a transformation? The chances are slim, very very slim. 

-she narrowed her eyes, dropping her gaze to the floor. Carmen moved her hand from her stomach, stuffing it into her pocket. She bit her bottom lip lightly- I know this and I know it’s one of the things worrying Avery. No, you’re not making me uncomfortable, and yes I am beginning to question you. If you don’t care, why’d you come then? Why even ask how it’s doing?

I was curious, I told you. That child, don't set your hopes up too high, it might not live to even be a year old. Which truly is a pity, might being the key word here though. -he smirked and then chuckled-

Obviously you will. The child might die though, I’d be careful. -he smirked and turned around- In all honesty, I don’t, have a nice day Carmen.
