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

[Jane-Doe]

Ezekiel Jebeddiah Crosse

Ezekiel let out a huff of relief as he grabbed his bookbag which was slung over the fence-enterence to the abandoned construction site. He held that in one hand, and kept the unconcious Maddi in place as they entered their "refugee."
She seemed to stir lightly, however Ezekiel furrowed his brows  as she kept calling him 'Jack,' and that he came back for her. However, the caustic lad let out a bittersweet chuckle as Maddi "complimented" his lean arms. "The names Ezekiel, remember? And it's called "running for your life," you cant believe- it does wonders for your body."

Maddi

Maddi felt her happiness deflate the slightest as the memories came rushing back and she rubbed her wrist absentmindedly "Oh. Sorry Ezekiel" she then reached up and touched the size able lump that was forming on the side of her head, quietly mumbling swear words under her breathe. Then a wave of nausea hit her and she slumped further onto his shoulder. "Could you put me down, I really don't feel very good"

Ezekiel shrugged off her apology with a roll of his shoulders, before carefully descending the concrete stairs into the earthy tunnels below. He made sure to bend his knees so he didn't bang her head upon the ceiling- or his. Once inside, he set her down carefully, eyeing her up and down for any noticable scrapes or bruises. "How're you feelin'?" Zeke questioned lightly, not wanting to be overbearing or too protective.

Maddi

When she was set down on the floor, Maddi let out a silent breath of relief, at least her stomach wasn't churning so badly now. "Well, I think I might have a slight headache" she said, squinting her eyes against the dim lighting which to her seemed all to bright, "and I also feel like throwing up right now." The girl curled up into a ball on the dirt floor while trying to steady her spinning vision.

"But um thank you." She mumbled quietly, and then looked up at him with large, unfocused blue eyes "And please don't leave... I know you were going to, but I kinda liked your company..."

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

Ezekiel chuckled and shook his head, which was rambling with thoughts and concerns. He forked his fingers through his choppy black hair, before glancing down at the girl with an amused smile. Zeke let out a genuine chuckle- which sounded odd to even himself. "Don't worry- I dont think I could ever leave someone in need. 'Specially you." He added with an assertive nod before he lowered himself against the wall, his hands placed behind his head in an relaxed position.
"Anything you need me to do, m'lady?" Ezekiel asked in his regular, devilish tone, but he kept his gaze focused on his black vans.

Maddi

Maddi smiled up at him and then squeezed her eyes shut, groaning quietly "Thank you Ezekiel. It's always been a bit lonely here by my self." She then tried to sit up, but when her vision went white for a second, she sunk back onto the dirt floor with a huff of annoyance "I guess I'm going to take a nap right now. I'm sure the nausea will subside." The girl allowed her rigid muscles to relax slightly as she tried to calm down. She was slightly afraid to go to sleep, the nightmares would probably come back if she did"

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

"Nah, don't sweat it." Ezekiel mumbled, shrugging his shoulders lightly. The young male cleared his throat before adding lightly, his head bent down in a shameful position, "about time I do some good for someone, eh?" Zeke said with a hoarse laugh, however he felt a bit choked up inside. Nodding at Maddi's request to sleep, he eyed the floor, knowing that it couldn't be too comfortable- but if he learned anything: it was to not question a woman's decisions- it would only enrage them further or make them feel worse.

Maddi

Despite her fears, Maddi had drifted off within minutes of actually closing her eyes. When she opened them again, she didn't recognize her surroundings. The foggy forest was rather odd looking, but she couldn't figure out why, was it the crooked trees, or maybe the light grayish green fog. The girl walked around a little bit, still trying to figure out why she was dreaming of a depressing forest. Then it clicked when she heard the distinctive sound of a gun and she whirled around. There was a boy in front of her, aiming the gun at her with a smirk "Once by water, the second by fire. The last and final time with a bullet in the chest." With no other words the gun went off with a bang, and she shrieked, only to find herself in the tunnels once more."

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

Ezekiel jerked himself upright, seeing as he too almost nodded off. His icy blue eyes flickered to the sound asleep Maddi, her limbs a tangled and uncomfortable looking mess on the dirt floor. Zeke heaved out a sigh before hoisting himself up off the floor, and over to Maddi who was deep in sleep. Ezekiel wrapped his arms around her back and kept his other arm under her legs and hoisted her up like a mere child before carrying her down the hallway to her room. Ezekiel made his best attempts not to wake the young Meta as he set her down on the bed. The young lad then lowered himself onto a chair on the opposite side of the room, seeing that he should keep watch if any police officers would decide to still be on the hunt for Maddi and himself.

Maddi

In her half conscious, but mostly asleep state, Maddi could feel her body being lifted off the floor and carried down the hall like a young child in their father's arms. As Ezekiel carried her down the hall she buried her head into his shoulder and tried to go back to sleep. She them felt the soft bed beneath her and was almost disappointed when the warmth from the other meta's body disappeared.

The next dream started out relatively nice, she was sitting on a fallen tree next to the large open expanse of a glittering blue lake. Giggles and laughter registered in her ears and she turned to find 3 children playing on the shore. The youngest ran up to her with a broad smile on his face "Mommy, when is Dad coming home? You said he would be home last week."

Maddi frowned, slightly confused, for she didn't have children nor did she plan to have children. But the look in the little boy's eyes made her go along with the little act "Your daddy said he will be home very soon and that he loves you very very much. He wants you to stay safe and away from the bad humans" she said, assuming the little boy was infact a Meta as well, since the gene was often passed down through the generations.
