A Weekend at the Evans Household [Closed]

Shem tries to shoot the flying mace off its course but gets hit in the chest with it, sending him a few feet back, knocking the breath out of him and Muninn from his hands. He looks up at the situation, trying to regain his breath and makes a run for his swords.

Indigo winces as the mace knocks Shem backward. Sarah is on top of Shem in seconds, Swinging her right foot aimed at his face. "Too slow!" Indigo covers her face with her hands.

The foot connects to Shem's face, shattering his glasses and sending him flying into and through a tree in the distance with a loud crash. As the dust clears, Shem is struggling to pick himself up from the ground, tears coming from his eyes and blood coming from his nose.

Sarah towers over Shem, holding him down with her left foot. In the distance, claps of thunder echo across the landscape. Clouds begin to block out the sun. Sarah presses down on Shem's chest. "Had enough, worm?" Drops of rain begin falling lightly.

No words leave Shem's mouth as he lays on the ground under the pressure of Sarah's weight. Tears still streaming down his face. "Im...I'm sorry." Shem jolts in pain for a split second, his eyes wide in shock. Shem's body begins to glow red. Wind picks up around Shem to the point where it feels like Sarah and Shem is in a tornado. The grass around Shem's body dies and wilts as it was being drained of its life into Shem. With another jolt of pain, he rolls over from under Sarah's foot and picks himself up on to his knees, Holding is head. "STOP IT! STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP-" Shem keeps repeating as his auratic glows around Shem until he is just a red glowing silouette.

The rain picks up into a full fledged thunderstorm, the rain hitting their skin hard in the wind. Sarah stumbles at Shem's sudden strength, her eyes narrow as she watches the display, taking a defensive stance as her hair whips around her face. What the hell is this?

The red figure that is Shem explodes. When the dust clears. Shem stands there, on all fours, his hair black and spiked back, his eyes glowing red as steam from the rain and blood pour out of his mouth. He breaths heavy. His labcoat is in torn in two at the ends as they wave in the wind like a pair of wildly waving tails. As he breaths heavily, Shem growls animalistically then growls the word "...Ragnarok..."

Sarah scowls. "That's a fancy little trick. Now why don't you just lie down and bleed to death like a good dog." Indigo looks on in horror. She knew what was about to happen and it wouldn't end well for anyone. "Shem! Stop!"

The monster what is Shem stands on his two legs and roars at Sarah. Shem bursts forward at Sarah, running on all fours with each hand or foot hitting the ground caused the ground to crack under the impact. Shem jumps at Sarah, hands out like a tiger pouncing at its prey.

Sarah lowers her stance and blocks, thrusting her left mace forward at Shem. She grunts under his weight, gritting her teeth and his unnatural strength. She counter-attacks, swinging her right mace half at no particular part of him with the intention of simply getting him off of her. Indigo cries out again "Shem! You'll kill yourself!"

Keeping his glowing red eyes on Sarah, he grabs the mace that was swung at him with one hand, with his other hand he grabs Sarah's other arm and jumps over her flinging her into the air, going full circle with Shem slamming Sarah into the ground with a magnitude force.

Sarah's eyes grow wide as she is slammed into the ground, blood flying from her mouth. She shuts her eyes tight and groans, blocking out the pain. "Yeah, that's gonna hurt in the morning." Sarah gets to her feet, wiping some mud off herself in the process. "Not bad, kid. Not bad at all." She spits some more blood on the ground, and cracks her neck. She retrieves her weapons from the ground and waits for Shem to do the same.

Shem bursts forward again in an animalistic rage. Swiping at Sarah in claw like fashion. Constantly swiping at Sarah as she obviously dodges every attack, blood starts coming out of Shem's nose and his tear ducts. His black hair slowly turns gray as he continues to try to attack his opponent.

Indigo cursed to herself. Taking a running leap at the fight, she flash steps midair to impact Shem. She hit him at her top speed, hoping to knock him out, hopefully without too much damage to the both of them. Moving at over 800 mph, she stops short, the wind knocked out of her by Shem's body as he tumbled backwards.

Shem stumbles back and coughs up blood. He looks up at his new attack in rage but his angry face turns to surprise when the attacker is none other than Indigo. His hair fades from black to white, the blood stops flowing and Shem's eyes turn back to normal just as he falls to his knees then down to his stomach. Tears beginning to well up in his eyes..."I'm sorry....I-I'm so sorry..." Shem forces out as he struggles to stay concious, looking at Indigo and Sarah with eyes that want to close but cant.

Indigo shakes her head to clear her vision. Maria rushes over to help the stumbling Sarah, who tries to wave her off to no avail. Indigo kneels down, the rain matting down her hair and dripping down her face. Or were they tears? She reaches under Shems arms and pulls him into an embrace. Holding the back of his head and petting him softly, she whispers over and over "It's okay. You're okay now."

Shem stops crying as he is held by Indigo. He keeps repeating, "Im sorry.." over and over until he drifts off to sleep in Indigo's arms.

The rain comes down harder. Maria and Sarah are long gone before Indigo does anything else. Unwilling to move him, Indigo simply shivers in the cold, shielding Shem from as much of the rain as she could. Finally she whispers "This is getting stale. Why not save my life for a change" Fully aware he couldn't hear her. After a while, she drags his body inside stopping to breath and drip off in the foyer.

Shem wakes up and struggles to sit up. He leans up on one arm, weakly and just by looking at Indigo, Shem knew she was hurt. "In-digo...youre hurt...." He struggles to pick himself up, using a chair then a table to hold himself up, Shem limps weakly over to Indigo, and puts his hand on her shoulder. "Lets....lets get you upstairs....and....fixed up..." He was weak, he knew that he couldnt hide it, but Indigo sacrificed a lot for him lately and he needed to return the favor. He grabs hold of her hand. "Let's go..."

Indigo turns around, giving Shem an furious look. All her emotion flooded to the surface, the first of which was anger. She raised a hand to slap him across the face, but couldn't bring herself to do it. "Shut up. Just... Please. Shut up." She pushed him down into a chair.

Shem weakly fell back into the chair and looked at Indigo in shock before looking down. "Im sorry for what happened...I know I'm not the best "hero" around, Indigo, but I want you to know that Id do anything for you." He looks at his hand, scratched from the fight. "This damn Ragnarok keeps making me the damsel in distress....Im sick of it." He lets out a sigh and looks up to Indigo. "Indigo, I love you. I promise that I will protect you no matter what the cost. I will fight for you until every inch of me is covered in scars. If I degenerate saving you, I would not be scared." Shem struggles to stand up again. "You mean everything to me Indigo Evans....and I will fight for you to understand that..with or without Ragnarok. You're all I need....you're all I have..." He sits back into the chair, frustrated at himself.

"Damnit Shem! You don't get it! I don't want you protect me! I don't want you to kill yourself over me!" She storms out of the room, returning moments later with towels. She throws one at Shem and wipes off her face with another.

Shem looks at the towel. "Then what do I need to do, Indigo..."

"Just... Stop worrying about me. What good will saving me do if you're dead? Gods Shem, look at yourself. You almost got yourself killed just to prove yourself to my sister! You don't need to prove anything Shem. We wouldn't have gotten this far if I wasn't completely sure..." She grabs Shem's head and forces him to look her in the eyes. "I. Love. You. Don't think you need to prove anything. Please... Just protect yourself, not me."

Shem looks deeply into her eyes. "I love you too. And I will...I will take better care of myself...for you and me..." Shem cracks a smile. "Some first impression, huh?" He jokes trying to ease the tension. Even though Shem joked, his mind raced. If he wasnt fully aware that Indigo was perfect for him, he does now... She is perfect to him, and will do anything to not let her go. He will take care of himself.

Shem puts his hands on her face and pulls her in for a kiss. "I love you so much you don't even know Indigo..."

Of the emotions flooding Indigo, the second to reach the top was relief. She fell backward onto the floor and what started as a giggle evolved into wild laughter. He was joking, that meant he's be okay.

Shem joins in the laughter then looks across the hall from him at a mirror and panics. He runs up to the mirror, looking at his hair. "What th- It's white?! I have white hair!" He looks back at Indigo. "I have white hair?! When did this happen?!"
