Clara stood beside Amy, smirking at Kenric. "Honestly, it is my business. Once you threw Amy out of your life, I was there to pick up the pieces, and so was he." She inclined her heard towards Emilio. "So watch who you're talking to." A light flickered behind them and Amorina placed a hand on Clara's shoulder to make sure she didn't do anything.
Turning back to Kenric and his little friend, she pulled her hand from Emilio's and walked up to him to she was toe-to-toe with him, glaring at his face. She let her gift trickle from her body, focusing on the two in front of her. His insults made her angrier by the second, but she did nothing. She wouldn't until his pale skin turned to a human tone, till she knew she had turned him human again.
"Don't you fucking dare. Without being a vampire, you're nothing but a scrawny little seventeen year old who I out grew. Look at you. I don't know what I was thinking in the first place. You're still a kid. I don't know why she's with you; you couldn't please a woman even if you tried." Amy couldn't hold it in anymore. She let the anger force her power out to the vampires, her fists shaking.
"And you know what? At least Emilio has never killed anyone close to him..." Yes, she had brought it up. A bad memory she knew he hated, but one that was true

Emilio was angrier at the implications about Amy's judgement than the attacks towards himself.
His anger exploded out of him as he swiftly walked by Amy and aimed a punch at Kenric's jaw.
To Hell with waiting. He'd almost not heard what Amy said in his anger.
Part of him cheered for her. The other part of him only added power to that punch.
||Blah. Short.||

When Amy inched her way closer, Kenric didn’t back down or move away. He stood his ground, his plain eyes looking into her incredibly angry ones. He started getting that strange little feeling inside of him. Kenric knew what was happening, and that along with her harsh words left him in a dazed and frozen state. His heart lurched and began beating again, his fangs disappeared and he was, once again, human. He heard Alex give a surprised little gasp and knew that the same fate had befallen her.
The fact that she’d done this to him again made Kenric mad. What right did she have to take away what he was?! “Like it or not, but I was a scrawny little seventeen year old that you were fucking in love with,” Kenric seethed, hands clenching and unclenching. When she commented about his non existent ability to please women, that didn’t hurt too bad, she was angry. Besides, she was the one that had wanted to take things to the next level, maybe she was still just mad that he hadn’t give her what she wanted. Oh well.
And then she sent a spike into the worst place ever imaginable. His family. He wished so much that he could come up with some witty comment to shoot back, to make her insides twist and cave in on themselves, and to make her blood run as cold as his. But he couldn’t, in fact, Kenric couldn’t say anything right now, he was thrown back into a shocked state that, luckily, didn’t really show up on his face.
He didn’t last in that one too long, however, since Emilio managed to knock him square into the jaw and send him stumbling backwards, nearly loosing his balance. The pain was quite extreme, since Kenric was now just a normal human, but not enough to knock him out just yet.
Kenric was weary of starting a fight, right now, he had the strength, speed, and stamina of a seventeen year old, and against Amy’s friend, he assumed it wouldn’t be enough. But he wasn’t going to let his pride get wiped out so easily. And so, with hardly any chance of winning a fight in his current state, Kenric lunged forward, fist aimed at the center of Emilio’s face.

"I was until you threw me away like I was nothing!" She took a step back as Emilio punched him, shocked. Amy hadn't expected that, and felt a quick shudder of worry. The last time she had punched Kenric, she had broken her hand. Then it dawned on her; he was just a kid now. She wasn't going to stop Emilio from pulverizing him.
Feeling Clara beside her, she sighed at her cousin. "Men." It was when Kenric tried to fight back that she ran to get between them. Okay, so she might get punched. Amy didn't want Kenric to hurt Emilio. "Knock it off, Kenric! He didn't do anything to you, you did it to me!"
[blahhhh]

Emilio watched him step back, then began catching glimpses of what was to happen seconds later. That was how he made a very quick decision to jerk Amy aside so she wasn't the one to experience the now-mortal vampire's punch.
He took it. It broke his nose. Ouch. That had hurt. He pushed Amy out of the way- she would only get hurt if she interfered. Emilio could take care of himself. He growled, "No. You stay... no hurt."
He snorted through the blood and grinned dangerously. Then he rushed at Kenric, aiming a tackle at the boy's midsection.

Once his fist made contact with Emilio’s face and he felt the satisfying crack of his nose, Kenric turned to Amy, ignoring the slight pain in his hand. “Stop acting like such a fucking victim!” he yelled, “You’re not as amazing and wonderful as you think you are, get off your fucking high horse and—” Kenric didn’t have time to finish. He felt the other mans body smash into his and fell back, hard, against the ground, his head smashing into the cement. Very much aggravated, he flailed around for a bit, kicking, punching and shoving to try to get the guy off of him. [/size]

She cringed as Emilio got hit and turned to Clara. "Go get Caroline." It was the best idea she had. She couldn't stop him, but maybe Caroline could...
Kenric's words hit her and made her sigh. Giving a small jump as Emilio tackled him, she shook her head. All she could do was watch.
"I never said I was! You did. You told me all kinds of shit before I scared you out of my apartment. Who KNOWS what you would have done to me if I hadn't!" She felt her body shake, fighting the urge to cry and join Emilio in kicking Kenric's ass.

Emilio was a wildcat in a fight. He knew enough of the future to avoid the worst, but he took many of the punches and the kicks and the shoves, only to come back just as strong.
When a punch that caught his jaw made him dizzy, he only shook his head, grunted at a kick that had been all too close to a bad place, and went back to aiming punches at Kenric's head and torso.
---
Caroline was already on her way- she wasn't so taken with her new companion that she didn't notice the beginning of the fight. With a sigh, she'd begun to weave her way through the crowd towards Emilio and the guy she assumed was Amy's ex-boyfriend. That was the most likely choice, after all.
She was getting a little more frantic by the time she emerged near Amy and Clara, followed by Hector.
Nikolai wasn't too far behind- but he'd been even farther away, engaged in conversation with an intoxicated student.
"God..." Caroline gasped, "Look at them go. I can put a stop to it... but it would hurt both of them. There's no way I can target one or the other at this range." She glanced at Nikolai, who'd just showed up. "Can you-?"
"No... unfortunately not." He was displeased with himself, but he was firm in his tone. "I might end up doing something... errr... regrettable."

Kenric wasn’t at all accustomed to feel real extreme pain. As a vampire, you’re practically a rock, and even though he could be hurt, punches from this guy would have felt like nothing.
Another thing Kenric wasn’t very used to was the sight of his own blood. And at this moment, he was seeing quite a lot of it. He felt a strong punch smash against his chest and coughed repeatedly, spitting out blood and saliva. His head received a barrage of attacks as well, his vision darkened around the edges for a bit, but he managed to stay conscious.
He realized that wouldn’t last very long, though, if Emilio stayed on top of him and kept such a close range to his head. So, movements fueled by the adrenaline coursing through his veins, Kenric rolled away from Emilio, he staggered onto his feet, holding his head as blood dribbled from the side of his mouth. His head was swimming, but at least he was still standing.

Amorina didn't want to watch, but she did. She had to keep Kenric a human; if not, he would kill Emilio. She watched, leaning against Clara and shaking her head. What could she do? She couldn't let this go on!
Listening to Caroline and Nikolai, she looked at Clara hopefully. "Keep them apart."
Clara sighed, watching as Kenric rolled away from Emilio and very quickly put a large barrier between them. Wow. Kenric looked horrible. Neither cousin could tell whose blood belonged to who. There was too much of it for Amy to feel good.
With the barrier in place, she walked towards Kenric. Clara's voice cut the air. "Give him back his gift, Amorina."
"No. He made me suffer. Now, it's my turn." Her eyes glared at the bloody ex of hers and she sighed. "Why, Kenric. You dumped me. Isn't that enough? Why does it matter if I'm with somebody else? Did you expect me to just die alone and unhappy? The Kenric I loved is dead to me. He would never hurt me the way you did. Anyway, what you said was right. We could have never worked. Even if we did manage to be together and have a child, what would we do during the childbirth? Whenever it has a bloody nose, a skinned knee, a broken bone? You could never be the man I need because you aren't a man. You're immortal, not human. I tried to save us, and you did not want to hear it. So you know what? I don't want to hear it from you. Stay out of my life. Everything I do is no concern of yours anymore. Just leave me alone. You broke my heart already. Isn't once enough for you?"
Her eyes glistening with tears, she still glared at him and let her own gift lift from him. Amorina turned her back from him and walked to Emilio, placing a hand on his shoulder. She was afraid to hug him, but placed one hand on his hip. "Are you going to be okay?"

Emilio watched, the roaring in his ears only letting him hear part of what Amy was saying. And he only understood a little of that. He was vibrating with the force of his anger, feeling completely justified for disrupting the immediate vicinity of the festival with violence.
He might have tried to attack again, but his vision was already beginning to separate into two versions of the same thing. Kenric and his clone were a ways away and Amy and her double converged as she walked in front of him.
He ached all over... but it was a good ache. Not sharp pains or anything, but the dull ache of life. It felt like... like reading a sad story. Or listening to a song that was so beautiful it could make a person cry. It just let him know with each throb that "Hey... Emilio, you're alive. You're human. Be proud and happy, 'kay?"
And he was. He flashed a bloody grin at Amy and wiped the back of his hand under a still-bleeding nose that was currently at a strange angle to his face. It would have to be attended to, but that seemed to be the worst of his injuries.
"I be okay..." He was breathing through his mouth heavily, but he continued as though everything were right with the world. "I look... not so good?" He made a gesture to his face, "Not so easy looking at... broken, yes? Is okay. Good pain. Not so ba- ahhh.." He moaned then, feeling a little dizzy. He chuckled at this, closing his eyes. "Perhaps sitting down is better."
He cast one very dark look at Kenric. "Pero... I still fight if that... that malhecho bothers you more." He stood up straight and pulled Amy close. "No longer yours!" he called to Kenric. "You leave. You no bothering Amy anymore."
Something occurred to him and he added, "And soy de Cuba! Cu-ba! No Mexico. Imbecil!"

Kenric was too much in a daze to really pay much attention to the beginning of Amy’s little rant. He caught little bits and pieces of it, but none of it was really anything he hadn’t already heard or thought about. But then again, he wasn’t paying much attention, so he probably missed a few little facts and points. Kenric was indeed suffering right now, he felt like there was an anvil on his chest and everything went in and out of focus. Plus, his jaw hurt really really bad.
He mentally answered all of her question. He hadn’t wanted to dump her, but he had to! It was the right thing to do, but this wasn’t. I guess I screwed up, again. It seemed as though he was always slipping up and ruining things. Maybe Kenric was defective somewhere in his brain, he never let himself be happy, or just let things be, he had to try and make things better, but end up ruining everything. Love, family, and practically every other aspect of his life, Kenric had destroyed and now he stood there, in front of the girl he loved, and the man she was falling for, and realized that he had nothing.
The rest of her questions came in all at once, and he thought about them for a little bit, eyes closed and his whole body hunched forward. It mattered if she was with other guys because…it hurt to see her with other guys, he realized. At her third…or was it the second, maybe the seventeenth question(Kenric had lost count), he gave a little smirk. In all honesty, Kenny had only slightly hoped that she wouldn’t move on after him, he did want the best for her, but the thought of her with any other guy made his insides give a sickening flip.
He contemplated the final part of her little speech, the part about him not being a man—that hurt really bad—and then her finally telling him to get out of her life. Well, things were sure flipped around from last time, weren’t they? “You can’t call it saving us if it involves me killing you,” he muttered, spitting out blood. “And as for breaking your poor little heart, well obviously once really wasn’t enough,” he mumbled spitefully. It wasn’t true, but if she wanted to go ahead and think that he woke up every morning plotting how to break her heart once more, then let her think it.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, he felt himself return back to normal. Back into a vampire. His heart stopped, the need for oxygen was no longer existent, and his sharp teeth and senses returned. The pain was very much still there, and just as intense, but he would heal faster now, give it a couple of days and he’d be good as new!
When Amy went to go tend to her new found boy toy, he couldn’t help but feel slightly annoyed, he had been the one to start all of it anyway. A grown man picking a fight with a 21 year old with the power of a teenager, it was despicable! And then the guy had the nerve to yell out a few comments and fix him with that dark stare. Kenric returned it with his own harsh glare, rolling his eyes at the immigrants comments. “For now, but don’t worry, she’ll find someone else.” Kenric whispered. He had, in his own special little way, called Amy a whore. It had taken her not to long to find another guy after him, what was to keep her from jumping to another guy? And then another, and another?!
“Ah, Cuba,” he said with mock enthusiasm and interest. With a shrug, he added, “well, you could have fooled me.”

Olivia nodded “Well it starts off slow but it gets quicker then slower” she said thinking about the music now. As she thought about it she began moving, mapping out what they could do in her head. However before they could talk about it they were being paged. “Olivia and Aiden please proceed to the dance floor” the announcer called looking around. Olivia paled if that was even possible, she looked at him “Ok, I guess its show time” she said her voice quiet trying to hide the panic.

He listened to what she said, even though it was little until they were called. The paleness and worry that rushed over her face was adorable. He smiled and leaned in to kiss her nose. "Lets go." He said and took her hands, leading her to wards the dance floor. He was nervous but was more excited to be doing a competition. In being involved and being with her. She was his world now and he was not afraid anymore.

Feeling that comfort of Emilio's protectiveness made her smile, and her smile only grew when he told Kenric she was no longer his. Finally. It was about time he realized it, but he couldn't keep his God-damn mouth shut, could he?
Amy was done listening. She watched Clara take a step towards Kenric for some reason, but Amorina sighed. "Clara, stop. I don't care what he said because I'm done. He's not in my life anymore and never will be and, as fair warning," she turned back to him. "If you ever come up to me ever again, for any reason, you will be far worse than the state you're in right now." Clara glared at Kenric before sighing and shaking her head. This wasn't her fight, but it was still her cousin who he had just insulted.
Turning to look at Emilio, she gave him an apologetic smile and shook her head. "I'm sorry about all of this. It isn't worth it at all and I feel terrible." Amorina took his arm gently and motioned back to the crowded area filled with benches. "Come on, let's go sit down so we can really see how bad this is..."
