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

When Ezekiel finally decided to walk downstairs, he had a cleaning spray in one hand, and a washrag in the other. He didn't say a word to Maddi, he only began scrubbing the blood stains that seemed to stain the carpet, walls, and one of the stairs. It was a difficult task, and the smell wasn't all too nice to his flaring nostrils, either. He attempted to hold his breath, but when the chemicals got to him, he whistled at Maddi. "Aye- could you take out a pot, light the stove- then pour some honey onto it. Let it simmer a bit. Oh, and the honey is in the pantry." He asked, before returning to scrubbing the blood out of the carpet. He was quite the "house-wife" filled with useless remedies and such. Since Zeke's mother wasn't really a "mother," and his dad was constantly working to support his children, Ezekiel was kind of like the mother of the house..

((Um Maddi and Zeke have left the construction site and have run into the cops atEzekiel's brother's house, resulting in his brother's death))

Maddi

Maddi frowned at him slightly, but nevertheless complied. Walking over to the pantry, she looked inside and almost grinned at all the food on the shelves, the she remembered that this wasn't exactly hers to eat, so she pushed her hunger aside before grabbing the honey and shutting the door. Then she took a pan off of the hanger and set it down on the stove before beginning to heat it up, the honey already in the pan. Then she opened the windows and picked up a sponge before kneeling down and scrubbing at a splotch of blood on the floor.

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

Ezekiel mumbled a thank you before standing, and wiping some cleaner off of his hands. The young lad stole a glance at Maddi, who was cleaning some blood off of the kitchen floor. He walked over to her, and tapped on her back for her to move out of the way, before he knelt down and finished scrubbing the blood. "Please- eat whatever you'd like and rest." Ezekiel said- but it soudned more like an order.

Maddi

Maddi gave a small whine of protest before moving out of the way for him. When he said she could eat anything she'd like, the girl's frown deepened and she took a small step back. She then went to the pantry and brought back a bag of chips and a small granola bar. "Here." She said, extending the bag towards Ezekiel "You need to relax a little, let me take care of you for once..." She then unwrapped her granola bar and nibbled on the corner, ignoring her rumbling stomach with a small smile on her face.

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

Ezekiel muttered something under his breath as he continued to scrub the gruesome looking blood stain that clashed against the kitchen's white tile. His brows were set downwards, his full sandy colored lips pulled taut as he chewed on the inside of his cheek; a old habit of his. Glancing up at Maddi momentarily, he let out a slight huff. "You can eat them." Zeke's stark tone mumbled, before he finished scrubbing off the last of the blood stain.

The young lad shook his head at Maddi's offer, and released a light scoff as he finally stood up to his full height, giving a roll of his broad shoulders. "You're going to take care of me?" Ezekiel asked in disbelief, a bit humbled and a bit sarcastic.

Maddi

Her hands slowly curled into fists down by her side as she stared him down, hurt clouding her vision. Of course she wasn't too upset at him, but she was tired of being the defenseless, not to mention she left her anti-depressants at the construction site. Maddi growled and threw the rest of her granola bar at him before storming out of the kitchen empty handed. "We'll excuse me for trying to help!" She shouted, and then walked out the front door, slamming it effectively. Seeing as there were no good hiding spots around the house, the girl ventured into the woods, going a ways in before climbing up a tall oak. After a few minutes she was in the top branches, the ones below her threatening to break under her small weight. At least she knew she couldn't be followed up.
The city lights could be seen from the canopy, and Maddi stared at them bitterly before her eyes wandered to a lit spot near the base of the mountains a few miles south of the city, where the Meta camp was located. Finally all the tears that she had been holding back over the past few weeks began to flow, and she had no intention of stopping them.

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

Ezekiel mentally punched himself square in the face after the words left his mouth, and his sleep-deprived eyes watched Maddi storm out of the kitchen, and out of the house with no intention of stopping her. He tossed the wash rag, covered in dry and grimy blood, into the garbage can before treading upstairs. Once in the bathroom, Ezekiel closed the door behind him and then turned to the shower.

Turning the knob that indicated the hot water, Ezekiel turned it all the way, until steam began to fog the mirror. Quickly stripping out of his maroon and gray sweatpants and loose gray tank, the young lad slipped into the shower. The hot water coated his body in a mixture of pain and stress-relief as he quickly washed himself off, and ran his fingers through his damp hair.

Once he was cleaned, Ezekiel stood in the shower, letting the water run, as he stood there awkwardly; letting the steaming water run down his tall frame. He was just overthinking everything, as usual. Once Zeke stepped out of the shower, he wrapped a towel around his lower frame, before grabbing a brush and treading back into Jeremiah's room. Once dry, and his hair freshly combed, Ezekiel pulled on the maroon sweat pants, but didn't bother tugging the gray tank over him as he settled himself down onto the bed and tried to get some rest.

Maddi

Giving herself a good thirty minutes to let all her emotions out, Maddi then slid down the trunk of the tree, scraping her back quite a bit, but she ignored it as she slowly began her trek back to Ezekiel's house. When she arrived, standing at the edge of the tree line, she noticed that the light in Jeremiah's room was on, probably meaning that Ezekiel was already in bed and wouldn't be coming downstairs any time soon.
She silently opened the door and stepped inside, grabbing a note pad and pen, then scribbling down one word: Bye. Sticking the note on the counter Maddi then grabbed her bag from besides the door and hurried outside, being sure that everything was done in silence. When she reached the woods again, she tied the straps of her bag around her like a harness before changing into her wolf form and running.
She did have a plan though, and it was to track down her brother and pay him a little visit before she would disappear off the face of the planet. Hopefully this time for good.

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

After an hour or so of relentless tossing and turning, Zeke realized that at his attempt to sleep, he only managed to ruffle the covers and ruin the pillows previous pump stature. Slowly rising, Ezekiel moved his legs over to the side of the bed, placing them on the floor, and hoisting himself up. He grabbed the gray hanes shirt and pulled it over his frame. As he passed a mirror, he noticed his extremely bad bedhead, and his icy blue eyes held a dark and sullen shade to them. Ezekiel ran his hand over his face in attempts to wake himself up. A single thought passed through his mind- Has Maddi returned yet?

He grabbed onto the wooden guard rail and quickly descended the steps- nearly tripping and having to catch himself a few times out of his early woken state. His stomach rumbled and protest during his search for Maddi, and he stopped by  the pantry to grab a ganola bar, when a small sticky tab caught his eye. In girly calligraphy, one word stared back at him on the yellow paper: Bye. Bye? What the hell did bye mean? Was she leaving? For good? Ezekiel quickly shoved the granola bar into his pocket, and crumbled up the paper in his fist.

He stormed out of the door, and quickly changed into his Meta form- a massive black panther- deciding it would be much easier to track down Maddi this way.
