META; The Spirit of Change ((Shifter RP))

"The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remains as your legacy."

Ezekiel leapt from the tree, ignoring Maddi's apologies for the time being. It wasn't her fault. She just wanted to stretch her Meta legs. Is there something so wrong about that? Ezekiel growled, before lifting his nose into the air and sniffing the stagnant air for a moment or two. His eyes darted ahead of them, slightly to the east. That young man was still there. In a moment, the massive black panther was Ezekiel once again. His hair was still a bit messy, but his facial expressions are what really changed He looked pissed off. Really pissed off. "Where's that bastard?" Ezekiel muttered under his breath before running off in the direction of the man.

Once catching up to him, Ezekiel changed his facial expressions to that of a blank face, slightly grim and bleak. "Sir, sir!" Ezekiel called out and only prayed that he wasn't an actual military officer who hunted Meta's; if he was, he would've recognized Ezekiel right away. The young man turned around. He wasn't that much shorter than Ezekiel, but much scrawnier and paler. He had short brown hair and brown eyes, which held a sense of entitlement. "Yes?" The unknown male asked, sizing Ezekiel up. Ezekiel chewed the inside of his cheek, before thinking up an easy way to do this. "You work with the Meta camps, yes?" Ezekiel said, faking excitement and curiosity.

The young male shook his head, admiring his 'fan' with a light smirk. "Not really. I just spread the word with propaganda. Flyers, news ads, etc." The young male trailed off and he gave a sheepish expression. Ezekiel grinned widly, which made the male back up a bit. "So, you have something against Meta's?" Zeke's tone became grim and dark, a bit evil even. "Yes! They should be rid from this world almost immediatly. They're evil. Cursed bastards- who most of them have countless killings and murders on their hands! That's why I do my services by putting out flyers!" The unknown male didn't know what hit him when Ezekiel's fist uppercutted him in the jaw. The man was unconcious as soon as he hit the floor. Ezekiel turned back to Maddi with no expression on his face. "Now you have nothing to be sorry for. He won't remember a thing when he comes to."

Maddi

Maddi watched the scene unfold before her with wide eyes, slowly she stepped towards the unconscious man, leaning down to make sure he was still breathing. She then stood and gave Ezekiel a weak smile while clutching the ad tightly in her hand. "Come on. Let's go home." Opening up the crumpled ball of paper, she read through the paragraph about how the 'beasts' were basically treated as slaves and servants. Shuddering, she then took a look at some of the pictures; there was a boy only a little older than herself, being beaten. There was a picture of a little girl serving tea to the humans, and there was also a picture of a boy, about twelve, with the Anti Meta logo being branded on his shoulder like every other prisoner in the camps.

Whimpering she suddenly sat down in the leaves, pulling her knees to her chest. "What happens? What happens when they catch us Ezekiel? What will we do?"

"The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remains as your legacy."

Ezekiel nodded and casted a downwards glance at the unconcious male. A low grunt escaped him and he sat down beside Maddi, still pretty deep into the forest, but not by much. You could hear distant sirens and car horns blaring at the ongoing traffic. He kept his head bent between his knees, shaking his head slowly. "We'll cross that bridge when we get there- but we can't stay in that construction site forever. You know that, right?" Ezekiel murmured, his icy blue eyes flickering as his mind jumbled for a plan.

Maddi

She sighed, rubbing her face with her hands. "Yeah, I know... It's just I've spent so much time there, just living free. It will be hard to leave. And even when we do, what then? Where will we go? It's kinda hard to find a place to live now that there is a bounty for us." Maddi looked away, trying to hide tears of frustration.

"Ya know, sometimes I wish I wasn't a Meta... I wish I was just a plain and ordinary human. But no, I have to be the freak of nature, the thing that everyone despises." she clenched her fists "Sometimes I wish I hadn't been born." she added quite bitterly.

"The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remains as your legacy."

Ezekiel sighed, muttering something under his breath before he smoothed down Maddi's hair with one of his palms. "Don't worry.. I know somewhere we can go. It's not much, but I think it'll be safe. It's just outside of the city.." Zeke's voice trailed off and he glanced around before getting up and brushing off some dust. "None of us asked for this, Maddi. But this is the life we go. It could be worse."

Maddi and Ezekiel went for a run, encountered an AntiMeta man, and are now heading back.

Maddi

Maddi sighed quietly and then stood up, brushing dirt and bark off of her pants "I'm sorry Ezekiel." She said quietly "I'm being selfish." She then looked at him before beginning to walk again "So um, what's this place you were talking about? The one that we can stay?" The Meta kicked a small pebble "Once we get home we could pack up and leave if you'd like..."

"The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remains as your legacy."

Ezekiel shook his head in sudden discomfort. "Shh, no no, it's not your fault." The young lad reassured her, giving her shoulder a light squeeze. His icy blue eyes trailed off, as he dug around in his pockets, until he realized the keys were in his bookbag. "Hmph, I swore I'd never go back there- but he left the house to me in his will. So technically it's mine.." He mumbled to himself before he started heading back to the construction site. They had to be quick before someone realized there was an unconcious Anti-Meta man in the woods. Sure, it might take a few hours until sunrise for someone to notice his disappearance, but once the person puts two and two together.. Ezekiel silenced his rambling thoughts before turning to Maddi. "We're going to my old home. It's a few miles outside the city. It's two stories, and it has some acerage on it. It's where my dad offed himself, and where my brother left. It's safe and away from the Anti-Met's that swarm the city. Plus, I own it, so we should be fine." His voice was firm, despite his thoughts being a bit nervous; however, Ezekiel would not show his nervousness to Maddi. He just had to be quick. He needed to protect himself and more importantly, Maddi.

Maddi

Maddi almost cringed when he said that it was the house that his father had committed suicide in, but she kept a straight face and merely nodded. The truth was that she was more worried about Ezekiel, and she was afraid that going to the old house might set off some unwanted emotions in him. She was also living in fear if abandonment; although it had barely been a week, Maddi had already grown quite close to him, and didn't want to think about her friend leaving her behind.

Once they reached their home, she turned to face him with an almost frightened look on her face "You- You won't leave me, will you?" She asked quietly. It was an issue that was always on her mind, but she didn't ask for fear of looking incompetent. She could defend herself quite well actually, but she needed the emotional support that only a companion could provide.

"The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remains as your legacy."

Ezekiel's eyes widened a touch. He was making his way down the first concrete step into the underground abode they both met in, and he turned around, now Maddi wasn't quite as short, since he was a few steps ahead of her. "Leave you?" A bitter laugh that may have been intended to be a snort of amusement left his lips, before they pursed lightly. "Why would I do something like that? I wouldn't. I would never leave you." Ezekiel's stark tone held no joke, and his raspy and lively voiced seemed.. sincere. "Why would you think that?" He questioned, lifting an eyebrow.
