[IC] Framed (Beautifulsnow and Xion)

[Xion Demente]

Jericho was following Seth through the streets, he needed to find the person who paid the guy to get this old newspaper photo. He looked around he knew something was wrong, that's when he heard a gun go off a wall of rock went up behind him. "Jericho run don't worry about me go I will whistle for you once it's safe!" Jericho ran off, while Seth ran in the other direction. He ran through the streets a few more gun shots went off, he rolled into cover breathing hard. Once he catches his breath Seth ran again, the same gun going off. F1 behind me, can't get a clear shot while I'm running. He ran down an alley way, just to find a dead end he used his bending to launch himself up onto the top of the building. His leg was shot, he let out a scream of pain but he kept moving. He kept running, knowing the guy with the gun was behind him. He went down a fire escape and finally lost him, Seth was limping through the streets. He let out a whistle, Jericho came to his side a few minutes later, Seth soon passed out from the blood loss. Jericho let out a howl for help, hoping someone would come to help his master.

Demeter heard guns and was shocked. Her brother was a killer... Was he? Again? Now? No! She ran outside and looked around. She laid her hand on the ground and suddenly felt shock waves from an animal howling. She closed her eyes and felt the animal take some steps. She ran to him and then saw the rabbit dog. ''Hey boy.. what is wrong?'' she asked and suddenly saw Seth laying on the ground. ''Oh no!'' she said and looked around. She needed help.

Suddenly her brother stood behind her. ''Let him lay there.. He doesn't need to live'' he said. ''Are you crazy!'' Demeter said and looked at her brother. ''Did you do this?'' she asked. ''Yyyyup'' he said and leaned against the wall. ''Why would you care?'' he asked. ''Because he is a human!'' she said. ''So?'' he asked. ''You are a pig!'' she said. Then her brother grabbed her by her throat and set her against the wall. ''You should protect me.. Cause I did it for you'' he said. Demeter could barely breath and she slammed against the wall.

[Xion Demente]

Seth slowly came to, "hey boy...." Jericho licked his face and whined, Seth saw Demeter get slammed against the wall. "Jericho attack..." The rabbit dog launched himself at the guy, throwing him off balance and the weight of him made the guy fall to the ground Jericho growled making sure the gun was out of reach. Seth winced, his hand went to his thigh, he felt blood a lot of it. He was sure he would bleed out, if he didn't get his leg checked out soon. Jericho made sure the guy was knocked out, from the head butt he did then went back to Seth and licked his face and whined. "Jericho it's alright, I already know you'll be safe with my sister I made her promise to take care of you." He shut his eyes tight, when pain went through his body.

[BeautifulSnow]

Demeter fell on the ground and looked at him. ''Sir..'' she said and crawled to him, looking at him. ''I.. I am sorry...'' she whispered and stroked trough his hair. ''I am gonna get help'' she said and then ran away. As soon as she could, she found a few people that were willing to help her getting the 'killer' to the doctor. She walked in front of his door, she felt very guilty for what happened. Her brother had almost killed him... And of course he had came too, knocked down Seth's pet and had ran off. She heard the doctor come out of the room. ''How is he?'' she asked. ''He is okay now... And awake.. You can go inside'' he said and smiled. ''Thank you'' Demeter said and walked inside, she was feeling guilty but didn't want to tell it to Seth. ''H.. Hey Seth'' she said and sat down next to him.

[Xion Demente]

Jericho was laying down on the floor, Seth looked up. "Hey Demeter," he was sitting up on the bed. "Looks like I owe you my life for saving me," Jericho jumped onto the bed laying down on the other side of him. "Hey boy your happy to have me alive," he rubbed Jericho's head the rabbit dog licking his hand. "Hey Demeter...um....can you help me with something?" He pulled out the old newspaper photo from the day of the crime was taken. "Can you help me figure out who this is on the building here," he points to the figure on the left building.

[BeautifulSnow]

Demeter took the photo and looked at it, directly the photo fell and she looked down. Her brother stood always like that and she closed her eyes. ''I'll help you'' she said and smiled. ''But you need to rest first... I'll take care of your pet, if I get it off your bed... And of your house, if you don't mind of course'' she said with a little smile

[Xion Demente]

Jericho whined, "he doesn't want to leave my side till I'm on my feet again, and don't be surprised if you find my place torn up had somebody tear up my place looking for that he was paid to do it I just have to find the person who hired him." He laid back down, Jericho putting his head on Seth's chest, "he won't move no matter how hard you try." He knew it was true, he was wounded another time and Jericho hadn't moved or left his side during that time.

[BeautifulSnow]

''Well.. I wouldn't dare to force him'' Demeter said and smiled a little. She softly petted Jericho and looked at Seth again. ''I will come by soon.. Maybe get you some clean clothes or something to read..'' she said and for a very short moment she strokes with her fingers over his cheek. She almost wanted to bend over and kiss him.. Almost, because she felt that something was wrong and when she turned around, she was just in time to make a wall off earth in front of herself and the bed from Seth. Bullets ended inside the earth wall and Demeter looked at Seth. ''Did they not reach you?'' she asked and looked at him, she felt terrible that she had almost been to late.

[Xion Demente]

Seth looked at the wall, "yah I'm fine," he looked at the window. "This leads to the fire escape I'm in good enough shape to make it out of here," he heard more bullets hit the wall. He looked at Jericho, "Jericho go I'll be fine boy you know that from the day I saved you," Jericho whined then went through the window, Seth got up and grabbed Demeter pulling her with him as the bullets penetrated the wall. They neither of them were hit, and he started making his way to the ground.

[BeautifulSnow]

Demeter was shocked when he suddenly grabbed her and made a way trough the ground. She closed it behind them because she knew that the one shooting on them was not a earth bender. She looked at him. ''Seth..'' she said and looked at his leg, he was far from fully health and she was worrying about him. More than she did about herself, she was fully health and strong enough to help herself with earth bending.

[Xion Demente]

Seth looked back at her, "I'll be fine Demeter come on we need to get some ground between us and them." He looked at her, he wanted to make sure she was safe. "I know I shouldn't be on my feet, but we have move either or they would get through the wall either way. I don't want to be there when they get through that wall." He knew he was right, they had to keep moving now.

[BeautifulSnow]

''I am so sorry for causing so much trouble...'' Demeter said and filled the way up again. ''I don't think they will get trough this fast.. I try to push the earth closer to each other so it gets stiffer to get trough'' she said and gave him a smile. ''We will get trough this, I'll help you'' she said and smiled some.

[Xion Demente]

Seth nodded, there would be no cover if they ran in the open. He stomped the ground with his good leg, and made a tunnel leading down. "Demeter come on we need to go now," he jumped into the tunnel landing on his good leg, he made the tunnel branch off to the right . He knew the city better underground than above.

[BeautifulSnow]

Demeter followed him and closed the tunnel behind them. ''Keep making the tunnel.. I'll stay a little behind to make sure the earth is to stiff to dig trough'' she said and turned the earth inside the tunnel so it would be stiffer. Then she walked towards him and followed the tunnel, every five feet she turned around and filled the tunnel again.

[Xion Demente]

Seth kept moving, making the tunnel as he went. After awhile or so Seth opened the tunnel up onto the back streets of the city. They were miles out from where they were, and they were at a an old friends house. Once Demeter was out he closed the top of the tunnel, then bending metal over it making sure no one could get through. Before he knocked on the door, the door opened "you got into trouble again didn't you Seth." Seth sighed, "I did Vincent I need a place for me and my friend here to stay." Vincent nodded, and let them in.

[BeautifulSnow]

Demeter looked at both of them and looked around. ''Seth... I'll be fine... You need to be safe..'' she said and looked at him. ''I'll go to your house, get everything running and bring you some clothes... I'll also find Jericho and bring him here'' she said and was still outside. She had to find her brother and tell him to stop this all before there would fall death people.

[Xion Demente]

Seth nodded, he went inside. He fell into a chair his other leg throbbing, Vincent went to get the pain meds and some water. Seth took it and swallowed the meds, he got up and went to the guest bedroom. He laid down on the bed and looked at the ceiling, I need to find out who wants me dead and find the real killer before I'm wounded more badly or worse. He needed to get this over and done with, and soon before the guy killed him.

[BeautifulSnow]

Demeter ran away from the house and looked around, as no body else she knew how to find her brother. She had to find him first before he would get to Seth. In this short moment of knowing him, she had developed some feeling for him she couldn't describe yet. Maybe it was love? Or just the will to protect him. She ran to her hotel room and as expected her brother was there.

''Where is he?'' her brother asked. ''Are you crazy! Why do you want to kill him?'' Demeter asked. ''Because he wants to turn me in for the kill on that guard'' he said simple and sat back in the chair. ''YOU killed that guard?'' she asked. ''Yyyyyup'' her brother said and shrugged. ''Why?!'' Demeter asked. ''He stood in the way from my friend.. Poor little Seth just came by and slipped over his blood'' her brother said and looked at him. ''I wonder if he would still like you if he knows a little bit more about your past'' he said.

[Xion Demente]

Seth was up and moving, Vincent looked at him "you shouldn't be on your feet yet." Seth only laughed, "would you have said that if we were still on the streets." Vincent sighed, and shook his head. Seth grabbed his old knife and gun he had took from a guard on the streets, Vincent raised an eyebrow. Seth looked at him, "protection don't want to be caught unarmed since I can't bend as good as I could right now." Vincent nodded, Seth looked around the place it wasn't a bad place to live and it was a bit smal though.

[BeautifulSnow]

Demeter sighed and looked at him. ''You leave me really no choice'' she said and ran away from the hotel. She ran to the first guard she saw. ''I found the real killer from your colleague'' she said but at the same time a shot was freed and on its way for Demeter, right in time she could make a wall. She ran away, got her horse and jumped on it. She exited the town and knew her brother was following her. She had to get away from Seth and the town to get rid of her brother.. Maybe she would never be able to return.
