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

Maddi

Maddi jumped slightly at the knock at the closet door, but then relaxed when she realized it was only Ezekiel. Pushing the door open lightly with her toes, she remained crouched in the dark corner of the closet while trembling like a leaf. "They have dogs Ezekiel. They can track us down by scent..." She ran her hands over her face, her eyes tearing up as she began to edge along a full blown panic attack. "I don't want to go to a camp!" She whispered "And they'll punish your brother for harboring us..." Her hands began to shake as the barking and howls grew louder still.

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

Ezekiel cooed at her lightly, pulling himself down into a crouch. "We're not going to go to any one of those camps. Look, I dont exactly have a plan, but I have something that could buy us some time- If it doesnt work.. I would hate-" Ezekiel cut himself off, not wanting to share gruesome details of how he would have to take out a search and rescue group looking for the Meta responsible. However, if it came down to it.. Ezekiel would solemly do it to protect himself, his brother, and especially Maddi. He's done more for a whole lot less.Shaking his head lighly, Zeke murmured, "don't worry, I'll figure out something."

Jeremiah Tyler Crosse

"At least I'm not a monster like you."

Jeremiah kept quiet, listening to the low hum of the TV. If he looked shaken up when the police came, it would only make him look more suspicious. But Jeremiah was mentally prepared for this since their father had told them what do in a situation similar to this.. But Jeremiah hoped that if it ever did come down to this, he would have his father to guide him. Jeremiah wasn't like them.. His brother and father.. which set a barrier between them.. but Jeremiah would still help his family after all the grief he set them through. He needed to. He owed it to them. He owed it to Ezekiel.

Maddi

Maddi nodded quietly, still on the verge of tears. She was so emotionally drained that she feared the slightest thing could set her off. The barking grew louder before suddenly going quiet, then there was a knock on the outside door. Taking a deep breathe, she closed her eyes and grabbed his hand, squeezing it tightly as she rocked back and forth on her feet. "I'm scared Ezekiel." Opening her eyes once more, Maddi looked at him almost accusingly "And I know what you're thinking. You promised you wouldn't leave me, so don't you dare go out there and fight without me."

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

Ezekiel heard the door open below, and the scent of nervousness yet determination radiating from Jeremiah's shivering frame downstairs. His shaky voice was barely audible, but the dogs soon piped up. Ezekiel turned towards the window, and he unlatched it, and swung it open. "There's no time to argue- go go!" He exclaimed, nearly picking Maddi up and hauling her by the windowsill. "I'll catch up with you in a bit!"  He felt like he was screaming, but his voice was a strained whisper, as he ushered her out of the house. The policemen soon reacted to the barking of their dogs.. They only had so much time.

"At least I'm not a monster like you."

Jeremiah nearly froze like a deer in the headlights of a huge 18-wheeler-truck on the freeway as he opened the door, but soon let out a loud sigh, seeing as it was only four police officers. However, he sucked in his breath at the sight of two dogs, each decked out in police gear. The policemen looked feirce, but pale- as if they had just seen a ghost. "Hello, sir. Sorry to bother you, but have you seen anything suspicious lately?" His tone was calm, yet you could tell it was forced. The police officer held up a paper of a description. It was only writing.. Hah, good job Ezekiel- you're good at something- becoming a  blank face. It only said: Tall, dark hair, tattoo's,- and the next thing made Jeremiah force back a fit of laughter- it said 'the son of satan.' The officer only raised an eyebrow, and Jeremiah shook his head and cleared his throat. The sudden barking of the dogs made him uneasy, but he covered his concern with a look of confusion. "No, sir. Why?" The officers didn't respond, only brushed past him and said "Good. Then you wouldn't mind us looking over your property, right?" Jeremiah chuckled and rub the nape of his neck, trying to withold his cusses. "No problem, officers."

Maddi

Maddi shook her head, clinging to the window frame as he tried to shove her through the window "I told you, I'm not going anywhere" she crossed her arms and stepped back into the room "I've dealt with enough abandonment without you being taken away from me." She could here the dogs begin to bark again and footsteps thumped up the stairs. She felt the lump in her throat grow to the size of a base ball. Her eyes were hard and determined as she stared at the closed door.

"At least I'm not a monster like you."

As the last officer left the den area, and started towards the stairs, their dogs barking up a storm, Jeremiah nearly tripped over his two feet as he made a beeline for the kitchen. He opened the cabinet where alcohol was usually stored, but instead a small sleek pistol was tucked away. He quickly flipped the safety off, and quietly kept it in the waistband of his pants. Tugging his maroon shirt over it, and he returned to the living room where one police officer stayed, and he was fishing around some photos on the walls. "I'm sorry." Jeremiah whispered out, just for the officer to turn as the sound of a fire being shot off echoed throughout the walls. The police officer fell as a small pool of blood seemed to errupt from the bulletwound. Jeremiah felt tears streaming down his cheeks. The room was silent for a few moments before he heard the police and their dogs bounding down the stairs once more, screaming orders at one another. Jeremiah inhaled and exhaled shakey breaths, knowing what was about to come.

The first officer down the stairs had his gun readied, and so did Jeremiah, not wanting to kill this one, he shot him in the leg. It wasn't a moment after where a welcoming warmth spread over his right shoulder and his marron shirt was soon coated in a crimson mess. The world spun around him, and Jeremiah fired off several more shots blindly, before falling to the floor with several gasps. His chest rose and fell in heavy and quick breaths, before it ceased altogether. "Ezekiel- I love you." Jeremiah sputtered out, with blood foaming around his lips.

Ezekiel Jebeddiah Crosse

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

Ezekiel let out a low growl as Maddi refused to go, but he shook his head, his pale blue eyes. "Would you rather go to a camp?" He questioned, trying to keep his voice hurried hushed as the footsteps abruptly stoppd at the sound.. of a gun shot. Ezekiel's pale blue eyes went wide and his body went into predator mode. He quickly hauled Maddi up and over his shoulder before placing her in the closet and closing the door. Rushing down the stairs, taking them two and three at a time, Ezekiel collided with three police officers- the two huddled around one who's leg was bleeding profoundly. Where was the other police officer? His blue eyes found a police officer on the floor... dead. As his eyes scanned the den, he found- Ezekiel shook his head in disbelief at the sight of his sputtering and gasping brother. He pushed past the officers and dived for his brother, craddling his younger brother's head in his lap to hear his last words. Once Jeremiah's  breathing ceased, the officers seemed to flood around him, asking him questions on who he was and why he was here.

Ezekiel grabbed the officer closest to him, holding him by the neck, and flicking his wrists in the opposite direction until he heard a crack of his neck. The officers around him were now alert and, raising their guns in warnings. Ezekiel threw himself at the next officer, the one with the limp leg, and quickly slammed his skull into the floor, where blood now dribbled out. The third officer shot off a bullet, but nowhere near Zeke- probably a bit fearful. "Stay back!" The officer warned, but Ezekiel only surged forward, shoving the officer against the wall. "You killed my brother." Ezekiel growled, still in disbelief of this fact, and the officer started breathing heavily- probably fearful of his life. "You keep you and your godforsaken officers away from this place." Ezekiel said before bringing his knee up inbetween the officer's leg, before releasing him- where he fell to the floor with a groan. "Pick yourself up, and leave." Ezekiel growled, and the officer quickly shuffled to his feet, taking the remaining dogs with him. They didn't have any cars, so that police officer would have a long walk home. Ezekiel sunk to the floor. Why did he let him go? Was he afriad to kill more people? Ezekiel stuck his head between his knees as he let out shaky breaths.

Maddi

Maddi yelped when she was shoved back into the closet, hitting her head on the back wall. Rubbing the back of her head with a slight groan. But she was instantly alert when a a gun went of somewhere down stairs. Climbing out of the closet carefully, she took slow steps towards the stair case. The police were no longer on the upper level of the house, instead they were all down stairs. Taking in the scene, Maddi gasped and ducked behind the wall next to the railing; one officer lay dead on the floor, and so was Jeremiah. She whimpered as she watched Ezekiel dispatch two more officers before attacking the last one.
As the man ran out of the house with the two dogs hot on his trail. She put her head in her hands and silently weeped.
