Catching Up and Jumping In. [[Open]]

[naima]

Naima stepped quick closer to Emmie. Only one question balanced her mind, and she had no intention on answering Emmie, she loved Tadd, because she loved him. That was it, and so much more, that couldn't be explained with words.
"Why do you love him?" Naima asked a hiss on her breath, angry.

[Emmie Damselfly]

Emmie looked shocked at the girl. "You never answered me. That's the rule of these things. You answer the other person's question first before you can go and ask your own, let alone the same on." If Emmie were honest she wouldn't know what to say. There was something about him at drew her to him. He was so sweet to her, and even though she loses control of her powers distorting her face horribly, he still saw the beauty in her. Something that no one else had seemed to do yet.

[naima]

Naima looked at the girl with disgust. "Are you serious? What kind of stupid fairytale world do you live in? This is LIFE. There are no rules. You are ridiculous."

[Emmie Damselfly]

"Pardon me if I wish life could be more like a fairy tale. Meet a guy, somehow fall madly in love with him, have some struggles along the way, but still end up happily together." Emmie's temper was getting the better of her again. She took a deep breath then looked at Naima with honesty in her now grey- blue eyes. "I love Tadd for reasons I cannot discribe. I know you have a part in his life, but why can't someone else too? Can he not have a friend and a girlfriend that are two different people. Naima, there's... please, let us be happy together. To try and destroy us," She looked down at the ground afraid she was about to cry. Her heart would break into too many peices if her left her. If Tadd left her for Naima, she might as well die.

[naima]

Naima smirked at Emmie. "Ha, its not going to be that hard." She scoffed at her, knowing she was going to break. Naima just glared at the girl laughing. Then she reached over and ripped the locket off Emmie's neck. She dropped it on the ground and stomped it into the dirt. She looked up at Emmie. "See, your little precious relationship. Is in the palm of my hands."

[Emmie Damselfly]

Emmie's neck stung for her necklace being torn off. She pushed the girl back, nearly knockng her to her butt, and grabbed the necklace out of the ground. She began cleaning it off with her fingers and the edge of her shirt. "You might find you will have a fight on at least one side, if not two. I love him and he loves me. I will not so easily give up on him. Do you think I would just step away from him? He is an amazing man, which is why I can see why others would like him, but he loves me now. That's something I can hold on to."

Emmie's eye's were a deep red now. There was beauty behind the anger that now covered her face. Her nails were digging into her plams, trying to force enough pain that she wouldn't do anything else rash. Emmie's face was set, jaw locked, eyes were stuck glaring into the depths of Naima's "How dare you think that you can just take him from me like he was a necklace. How dare you treat me like I am just a young girl. How dare you come into our relationship, and instead of making friends, you seem to be out to make you and I enemies as well as Tadd and I. How dare you feel that you are the godess of love, able to destroy and make where ever and when ever you want. I pity you for that reasoning." With every 'how dare' Emmie took a step closer to Naima glaring down even harder.

I can understand Alice now, but atleast I wasn't trying to seperate them, I knew of their love, I saw it in both of their eye's. Can Naima really be this vain, and think that she can seperate us?"

[naima]

Naima stood imediatly unfased. Emmie had snapped, and it was Naimas turn to fight back. Self defense. Emmie should have thought before she acted.
"You know Emmie, you really haven't thought this through. Yah know, when Tadd left, I never felt as safe in Australia. So I took up karate, and kickboxing. Something Tadd and his brother had started teaching me before he left. Nice push, but not nice enough." Naima punched Emmie full force in the jaw. Before stepping away she spat on her.
"Once again. I don't think it will be that hard. It's not like your trying that hard. How do you really feel Emerald Damselfly? How do you really feel?" Naima gripped her wand in stance and waited for Emmie to realize, Naima was ready to legitly fight for Tadd. Not just wimper away.

[Emmie Damselfly]

Emmie glared at Naima. Her jaw ached from the punch. She whiped the spit away, put her locket in her pocket, and grabbed for her wand just as Naima did. "You have gone mad. I don't want to hurt you. That is not something that will solve this, but I will defend myself." She sat ready, she would not make the first move, even though she knew she had every right to. Her eyes were locked on Naima, waiting for any movement. Rina's lessons were already in use as she formed a protective barrier around her brain that only Rina and someone like her might be able to penetrate.

[naima]

Naima laughed. "You started this. You stupid girl hit me first. And now you'll pay worse the me hitting you." Naima pointed her wand at her wrist, a hand shape bruise appearing, and then up to her face, a black eye appearing, a cut open busted lip. She pointed to her legs, her knees now covered in blood, and she dropped to the ground, stones entering her wounds, more bruises and cuts appearing by the minute. Naima looked terribly hurt, and though it did actually hurt, Tadd would think Emmie did this, and he would be horribly angry with her. She layed in the dirt, knowing Tadd would arrive soon. She tossed her wand at Emmies feet, knowing she could do nothing, a protection over her spells no one could break. Naima looked up and Emmie and smirked. "You're ruined now."

[Emmie Damselfly]

Emmie watched Naima as she mutilated herself. "You are mad, madder than I thought." She was ruined, unless she could think of something. She remembered a time when one of her cousin's killed her grandfather's pet at his house. We were the only ones there, so he took their wands to see who had destroyed his companion. There was a spell he used, and if there was time, Emmie would do the same to show Tadd that it was not her. "You fight dirtier than I thought a pretty thing like you would. This isn't over." She kept her wand in hand, and refused to touch Naima's wand. Her jaw was beginning to bruise. "Why, besides you having some sort of a crazed obsession over Tadd, do you not want me with him?"

[naima]

"Because you're not good enough. You're just using him. You're aren't good enough for him at all." Naima said willing Tadd to come soon.

[Tadd Levingstein]

Tadd walked out of the castle with 3 glasses of pumpkin juice in hand, he had taken his time to give Naima and Emmie time to get along, get to know each other. Maybe Naima had taken Emmie for a swim. But when he walked out he saw Naima laying on the ground bleeding he dropped the drinks, them shattering on the path and ran to her rescue. He looked up at Emmie in disgust.
"What did you do to her? WHAT?" Tadd yelled he grabbed Naima's wand pocketing it and picked her up bride style.
"I don't understand you Emmie? Why would you hurt her?" He started running with Naima in his arms towards the infirmary.

[Emmie Damselfly]

"I didn't do anything. Why would I. You heard what happened to me yesterday. Why would I copy the same actions that almost killed me? Tadd you can check her wand. I never fired, or touched her wand. And you can check mine." She looked after him hoping he would hear her. [I[How dare she. I am using him. I, what would I using him for. He is cute, but... I don't get it. Does he really trust her more than me?[/I[

[Tadd Levingstein]

Tadd ignored Emmie running off, but he heard every word she said.
What was she talking about? Why would Naima hurt herself? But Emmie had a reason to hurt Naima. He dropped Naima at the infirmary, and headed back to lake, wondering what went on. He headed towards the lake but decided her needed to think by himself. So he sat on the steps of the Entance hall.
They were supposed to be friends, Best friends. They were not supposed to fight. What did Naima tell her? Did Naima tell her we dated? Did Naima tell her when I had to leave Australia I wrote her everyday? Did she tell her I loved her? But ehat did Emmie tell her? That I loved her too? That I had given her the locket? But what about Naima's bracelet?

Tadd loved Naima, but he was in love with Emmie now. Naima was his past, and he expected Emmie to be his future, no matter what he had said before. Naima and him could never be together. Too much had happened since. But Emmie, was so uptight lately. She was never fun anymore. He needed to loosen her up. And find out what the problem was. Especially with Naima. He couldn't believe Emmie would just attack her. He needed them to be friends, or other wise, he didn't know what he would do.

Tadd sat contemplating for a while, till he headed back to the lake. It was a good amount of time later, maybe an hour. But Emmie was still there. He almost smiled but instead jumped into the lake, swimming to the other side, he did his best thinking in the water.

Maybe Naima was making Emmie jealous? But why? Because I've known her my whole life, and we were the traditional love story. I told her I would come back for her. And now I have Emmie. They're both mad. At me. They think I'm a liar. But I'm not. I'm not at all. Everything said for both of them, was true. Everything, was true.

He climbed out of the water minutes later and walked up to Emmie soaking wet.
"We kind of need to talk. Now like don't flip or anything, or trash Naima, because No Matter what she did, or you did or no one did, I'm still going to love you. I'm still going to be In Love with you. So just? Come sit with me and tell me what happened. Calm and Nice, and quiet, and dry."
He laughed at the last word, grabbing towel, and throwing it over his shoulder. He hadn't noticed he had been shirtless since he went swimming the first time.

[Emmie Damselfly]

Emmie watch Tadd dive into the water. She didn't know what to do when he left with Naima. She was so upset, and lost that she had just sat there trying to sort through things and calm down. She also knew that she would need to explain things to Tadd, but she didn't want to give Naima a bad name to him. When Tadd came out of the water and talked to her she was relieved. He would be upset, and was sure he was already, but he was willing to talk. She sat down on the ground, looking distant as well as at peace, well for the most part. He wanted her to tell her what happened, but how. The bruise on her cheek was more apparent now, and her locket. She pulled the locket Tadd had given her out of her pocket. "She, well I don't think... no I know that Naima doesn't like me. She did this when I brought it up then showed me her charm bracelet." Her voice was even and low. She looked up into Tadd's eyes, a tear seeping from her eyes. "I tired, even though something felt wrong, I tried to be her friend." She looked at the ground, "She still loves you..." The tears were coming more steadily now.
