[IC] Framed (Beautifulsnow and Xion)

[Xion Demente]

Seth was walking the streets, his hands in his pockets he just got released earlier today. He didn't kill anyone, he kept his eyes on the ground as he walked, people kept looking at him like he was a criminal he was framed by someone, but he didn't know who. The people kept dodging him, while he walked back to his place he kept to himself while he was walking through the streets.

Demeter was riding a horse and entered the big city Omashu. She looked around and a few people came to her. ''Welcome miss, can we help you?'' a woman asked. ''Oh yes, thank you so much.. I need a place to stay for a while'' she said. ''We have a few good hotels here'' the woman said. ''If you ride that way you will almost bump into a hotel, its small but they are good and you can let your horse rest in a stable'' she said. The other women saw Seth and patted Demeter's leg. ''Please young lady.. Look out for him... He just got released.. He murdered someone...'' she whispered. Demeter looked up at the man that was pointed out. ''Thank you..'' she said and let her horse walk again.

[Xion Demente]

Seth saw the young woman that pointed him out, he shook his head I didn't kill anyone but he just kept walking through town. The woman on the horse was looking for a good hotel to stay in the city for awhile, so what he didn't have to help her his reputation was in a bad enough state as it was. He walked past the woman still heading for his place, he didn't feel like dealing with anyone right now.

[BeautifulSnow]

Demeter looked at him and stopped her horse, she turned it and ride to him. ''Sir?'' she asked, she knew what the women said but she was a little curious. She also knew it would be better if she wouldn't get close with anyone.. Her brother would come soon and he had told her it would not be good for them to get close with people.

[Xion Demente]

Seth stopped, and looked over his shoulder seeing the young woman on the horse. lots of people won't talk or even look at me so why would you? He ran his hand through his hair, then sighed turning half way to get a better look.

[BeautifulSnow]

Demeter looked at him with a little smile. ''Could you maybe tell me... Where I have to go to buy a house?'' she asked with a little smile. She felt eyes stare at her and she also felt that her horse got nervous from the staring people. Soon people started to whisper things but she didn't care about it. She kept her horse tight and calmed it down with her voice. ''Sssshhh Boy.. ssshhh...'' she said and got off the horse. It was clear that she was shorter than Seth but yet she didn't look weak. She held the horse in one hand and looked at him. ''A hotel I know but I think that I want to live here... I just need some information'' she said and held her head to one side.

[Xion Demente]

Seth looked at her, "the place you can do that is down this street, and to the left really." He felt people staring at them, they must think she's crazy or something for talking to him they thought he killed someone, but he really didn't. Seth wanted to find out who had framed him, for this crime so he could turn that person in.

[BeautifulSnow]

Demeter looked that way and nodded. ''Thank you very much'' she said and smiled brightly. ''Oh.. Have a nice day sir'' she said and got up her horse and looked at him when she sat on her horse. She turned it to the way he told her and let it walk trough the street. She looked around, got off her horse and bound it to a pole. She went inside and after a short talk, they were gonna search for her.

When she was done there, she got back on her horse and ride to the hotel, there she checked in and got to her room. The little bit of things she had taken with her, she placed around and that was the moment she wondered what she could do. Her brother would arrive in a week or two.. What could she do? She didn't know, yet she was curious about the city and went outside. She let her horse rest and walked trough the streets.

[Xion Demente]

Seth sighed, he slowly walked back to his place then thought the better of it. He quickly made his way through the crowd, the guards watching his every move. He went to a place he could practice his bending, he got there and started practicing what he knew which was a lot. He took a break, sweat on his face then started again on his bending.

[BeautifulSnow]

Demeter heard different sounds and felt trough the ground buzzes that told her someone was earth bending. She got curious again, yet her head told her not to go where the bending was because it could be dangerous. She decided to listen to herself for this time and wend to do some shopping for dinner and the next day. She had not much money so she directly looked around to see if someone needed a employee. Maybe she could find a simple job somewhere.

When the buzzes and sound started again, she went to the place and saw the same guy as before. The one she was warned for. She grinned and suddenly made a wall from earth a few feet away from him. ''So.. Your a bender'' she said with a smile.

[Xion Demente]

Seth saw the wall coming, at him his body tensed and he kicked the wall hard watching as it fell apart. He heard the voice by then, "yah I am one so what doesn't change what people think about me." He knew he was right as he sat down on a rock, "what brings you here to the city anyway?" He was curious, why she came here to the city.

[BeautifulSnow]

Demeter nodded and walked up to him, she sat down in front of him and smiled. ''I came to this city because I am not able to stay long on one place.. As a kid my parents, brother and I always moved around... So I am still doing that. Sometimes with my brother, sometimes without..'' she said and looked up. ''They say you killed someone.. But I've stood in front of killers before.. You don't have the same look in your eyes... Wrong time, Wrong place?'' she asked and meant about the crime. She knew her brother had killed several people before.. Mostly because they treated her or something. She always saw it as something he did out of protection, but she would never speak about it.

[Xion Demente]

Seth looked at her, "pretty much still a lot of people say I'm the one who killed the guard, I didn't I haven't killed anyone I've wounded men but not killed them." He looked down at his own hands, "I've lost everything when I was 5 lost my parents sister all of my family I grew up on the streets even then I didn't kill anyone I've wounded guards to get away but not kill, never had it in me to kill another person at all" he was right in a way he hadn't killed at all no matter how much he wanted to.

[BeautifulSnow]

Demeter listened to him and when she felt like he kept mumbling about that he didn't do it and didn't had it in him to kill, she took a tiny rock and threw it at his head. ''I am not here to judge you, you know..'' she said. ''I have lost my parents when I was ten.. My brother took care of me and I know how people looks when they have killed people.. Its like there is a sort.. extra twinkle in their eyes, yet its not white, its black... You don't have that... And listen again.. You don't have to say sorry to me... Why don't you try to find the family of that guard, buy flowers write a card with that your sorry for their lost and that your gonna find the real killer... That you will not rest before that one is found'' she said and shrugged. ''Its just a idea..'' she said and got up, she got the dust off her skirt and looked at him.

[Xion Demente]

Seth rubbed his head where the rock had hit, he looked up at her. "Alright alright," he got to his feet, slowly he got out a piece of crumbled up paper that he wrote to the guards family. He started to run, he got through the crowd and ended up on the steps of the guard that was killed. He knocked on the door, "ma'am I am sorry for your loss I didn't kill him though someone had framed me I won't rest till I have found that killer and turned him in." The woman nodded, "thank you," Seth nodded, "I will turn in the real killer no matter what."

[BeautifulSnow]

Demeter followed him as fast as she could and saw him talking with the mother of the guard and smiled at her. She walked to the flower shop across her house and bought a red rose and went to it. ''This sir wanted to also give you this Ma'am'' she said and the women took the rose. ''It is very nice of you.. Thank you again.. I hope that the town people are not very rough on you boy..'' she said with a sad smile.

[Xion Demente]

Seth smiled, "yes ma'am there not giving me a real hard time." She nodded and closed the door, Seth looked at the ground as he turned, he clenched his hands. Then looked at the sky, i will keep that promise he started walking the streets again. The crowds were dodging him, like always.

[BeautifulSnow]

Demeter looked at Seth walking away and decided it was better to let him be alone for now. She started to walk to her house as suddenly a few guys grabbed her and placed her against a wall. ''You can better watch out girl.. He killed a guard.. He might look sweet, but he isn't... He is a monster'' one of them said. Even before Demeter could do something, she was alone again and looked around confused. She shrugged and walked to her hotel and went to her room.

[Xion Demente]

Seth closed the door to his house, he flipped on the lights and found the place torn up. He looked around, "Jericho!" A rabbit dog gets out from under the flipped sofa, Seth lets out a breath of relief. He petted Jericho before he looked around. It looked like someone was looking for something from him, that's when he heard the sound of someone jumping out the window. "Jericho chase," the rabbit dog jumped out the window Seth followed. Jericho jumped onto the man, Seth kneeled in front of him . "What were you looking for," the man looked up then at his pockets. Seth grabbed the piece of paper from his pocket, it was the old picture from the newspaper. He took a closer look at the picture that's when he saw someone overlooking the alley way. "Why did you want this?" The man looked at him, "I was paid to take it please don't kill me," Seth laughed "Jericho down" the rabbit dog got off the man, "I won't kill you man just tell whoever hired you I will find him," the guy nodded then ran off.

[BeautifulSnow]

Demeter turned on the light in her room and was shocked. ''Brother!'' she said and looked amazed at him. ''Hello sister'' Her brother said and he looked at her. ''Why are you hanging out with someone that killed a guard?'' he asked right away. ''I.. How.. I am not!'' Demeter said. ''How did you get here and how do you know that?'' she asked. ''You know I have eyes everywhere'' he said with a dark look in his eyes. ''Stop this all brother..'' she said and turned her back to him. ''Stop what?'' he asked. ''Taking care of me like I am a baby! I am sixteen'' she said. ''Your naive, young and a good prey for guys like that killer'' he said. ''You did kill'' she said. ''I killed to protect or for food'' he said and stood behind her, laying a hand on her shoulder. ''Are you suddenly gonna turn me in? You helped too, you know'' he said. Demeter gasped and looked at him trough the window. ''I never killed someone...'' she said. ''You helped me get the prey.. '' her brother whispered in her ear and then disappeared.
