Before Anahita could react, however, Kieran - angry at the way Fred treated his wife, angry at the way he had hit Anahita over the head, and angry at the way he had just been shoved out of the way like a child - had drawn his wand and non-verbally used the spell 'sectumsempra', whipping his wand sharply through the air so that an invisible knife appeared to slash across Fred's arm.
"I said leave her alone..." he snarled, holding his wand ready. Let me fight, Kieran... I can kill him... I could bring him so much pain... "No!" he yelled sharply, snapping at Marcus, "Shut up!"

As Fred rose into the air he yelled animalishly at Kieran and Ana, finally releasing his grip on Aimee’s hair. “No stop it! Please! Ana, leave him alone,” she begged, Fred was after all the father of her child, and of course there was always the consequences of Aimee’s friend’s actions to face when they weren’t there. As Kieran slashed Fred’s arm, drawing blood, Aimee hurried to him and placed a hand on his wand arm, “Please Kieran, stop it, please! Leave him alone!”
Fred carried on to curse at Kieran and Ana, until he took his own wand out of his pocket and cast a spell to return to the ground, once there he stalked over to Kieran, “If I were you, you little bastard, I wouldn’t want to run into me in a dark alley,” he warned, blood pouring out of his arm, making his appearance only slightly less than terrifying, “And tell ye little friend,” he jerked his head in Ana’s direction, “She won’t be forgotten either.” Fred then turned to Aimee, he raised a hand and slapped her hard across the cheek with the back of it, “You’d better be home when I get back from work, woman,” he said, before stalking off, slamming the Hog’s Head’s door shut behind him. Aimee collapsed into a chair, sobbing.
Nathan watched Fred leave and then sat back down in his chair.

Pig! Ana thought as she went over to Amiee, and tried to confort her.

Kieran stood his ground, trembling both with anger and shock - added to the effort of trying to suppress Marcus, who had suddenly risen again at the slightest hint of a fight. For a moment, he was frozen, standing there with his wand out, but after a few seconds, he swallowed, quickly shoving his wand back in his pocket, and hurriedly went over to Aimee, dragging a seat over to her and sitting down in it.
"Aimee, I... I'm sorry," he faltered. "I - I didn't listen to you... and I should've." Biting his lip, he tentatively put an arm around her shoulder. "Please don't cry," he mumbled, feeling quite awkward.

Ana watched Amiee, then Kieran. "Amiee, it's okay. " she said, not sorry for what she'd done to the loser that just left the place. She always hated Fred, she'd kill him if she could.

Aimee gulped back a couple of tears and looked up at Kieran and Anahita, through bleary yet annoyed eyes, “You should’ve l-listened to me,” she said, her voice cracking from crying, “W-hy couldn’t y-you just le-eave him alone!” she said, an unhappy, slightly cute expression appeared on her face, like that which might remind you of a cute puppy that had just lost it’s mother.

"Leave him alone, yes. But the bloody sakes, he looked like he was going to fucking kill you. Ames, that's not good in my book." she said, and looked at Xanya. "Shut Xanya." Xanya gave an innocent look, and pretended like she wasn't going to say anything. "Amiee, I was trying to protect you and the baby. That arsehole shouldn't be treating you like that."

"Aimee, I'm sorry," said Kieran, so earnestly that it was dangerously close to sounding as though he was acting. "He was hurting you, and... and that was my first reaction..."
He looked over at her, hating to see her looking so upset - yet in her eyes was a small flicker of anger; anger at him and Anahita for what they had done... but he had only been trying to look after her... he couldn't risk any harm coming to either her or the baby.
"Please don't look at me like that..." he mumbled quietly.

Aimee sighed and wiped her eyes on the back of her hand, still slightly annoyed. “Of course I know it’s not right! That doesn’t stop him doing it!” she snapped, immediately feeling bad for it, “ – he doesn’t mean it. I should’ve just stayed home. I know you meant well, but you’ve just…” she didn’t want to say they’d made things worse, after all they’d only been trying to help, “ – you should have listened to me, just let me deal with him.”

Anahita sighed, and backed off. She wasn't good with this sort of thing, so she'd rather have people pissed off at her. That she could deal with because she didn't have a caring bone in her body to give a rat's ass who liked her and who didn't.

Kieran bit his lip, worried for Aimee. "Please, just... at least let me accompany you home..." he said. He felt bad for what he had done, adding to her upset.

Aimee shook her head to Kieran, “No – no it’s okay… it’ll just exacerbate things,” she said. Sniffing hard she wiped her eyes again and stood up, “I - … Sorry,” she said looking at the floor, and then she left the pub as fast as she could.
“Bloody hell, her old man’s just a bundle of fun,” Nathan said, after sipping his beer, “Don’t you think?”

"You don't understand how much I agree with that Nate.." Anahita replied, taking her seat once again. Xanya moved from where she was to sit in Amiee's old seat next to Ana. Placing her head in her hands, Ana thought about what had just happened.

Kieran watched Aimee leave guiltily, thinking about going after her - but he told himself that he would only make things even worse, so he stayed put. He gave Nathan a weak smile in response to his joke, and then glanced over at Anahita. "You alright?" he asked.

"Peachy king." was her response.
