they are the hunters, we are the foxes - and we run

[hastily]

the ON THE RUN meme


Sometimes, these things happen. Sometimes, you're in just the wrong place at just the right time, or you've made the wrong (or right, depending on your intentions) person mad. Sometimes it's better for everyone if you just go. Sometimes there isn't time for good-bye.

LOST
You've managed to lose yourself somewhere out there, for whatever reason it was. Maybe you took someone with you (willingly? not?), or you found someone else who needed to disappear as badly as you did. You're in your car, or a cheap hotel, or a house by the side of the road. What else can you do but watch, and wait?

FOUND
It could have been as simple as being glimpsed at the 7-11. Your phoneline wasn't as secure as you thought. You locked eyes with the wrong person across the room. Now the house of cards is collapsing, and maybe not just your life, but the lives of everyone you love could be in jeopardy now. The walls are closing in, and your arms are giving out.

RULES
- post with your character's name and canon. if you have an on-the-run AU, or scenarios you might want to play out, mention them here.
- find others. tag them.
- and then, run.

Shae was driving too fast. His hands were clenched tight around the steering wheel, and he hadn't really moved for a few hours.

But he had better night vision than Isaiah, so he was driving with the headlights out. Even if Isaiah might have been a better driver, this meant they could get away.

No one could smell through a car. But Isaiah told him there was something called GPS tracking, which was why his phone was off.

"Isaiah?" Shae peered at Isaiah out of the corners of his eyes. "Keep going, or stop? We're at, um, a safehouse." Abandoned little shack they could squat in. Shae didn't know if Isaiah wanted to drive through the night.

[ He never knew it would turn out like this.

Peter signed up to work with the Death Eaters because he thought it was the fastest way not to die. Because maybe, if he chose to play on both sides, he could somehow save his friends, save his only remaining chosen-family, and do something right. He didn't care about the glory, about the praise, he just wanted things to be good, for all of this talk of war to be over, so they could go back to their lives with girlfriends and babies and so much more.

He didn't know they followed him, didn't know that when he was told to be the secret keeper, that convincing James and Lily to change their minds about Sirius was going to be the last mistake Peter could ever make for them. How could he predict that Voldemort waited on his heels, to walk and visit the Potters, to warn them, to tell them to run because the Death Eaters were closing in.

Oh, he just wanted to apologize. He wanted to knock on their door, explain himself, and watch them run away to safety. He'd never see them again, but... now he won't either. There's no blood, no outward injuries, but the house is torn asunder, the baby crying upstairs, Peter's own master's scream echoing off the halls.

Then, nothing. Nothing but the sound of running feet on wet grass, the whip of his wand in the air, ready for any adversity. His heart pumps too heavily in his chest, his eyes blurred with white-hot tears, lungs searing with pain at very deep gasp, rasping through his closing throat as panic and fear and grief overcomes him. He didn't mean for any of this.

He's not sure how long it takes him to run, because the thought of apparating or using the Floo home just doesn't seem right, not from that house, where James lays and Lily...

He practically barrels through the door of the cottage, the thick wood hitting the opposite wall with a sickening crack, his breaths nothing more than high-pitched wheezes, his hands shaking, his face pale. ]

Annie -- [ He chokes, because what will he tell her? What will he do when she looks at him like James did, with such disgust, such hurt. He can't. He can't face it, not when even now his heart aches for her. Silly, really, to think he could have done something right, not messed this one thing up, just once. ]

I... I have to go. I have to go right now, I've -- oh god, they're dead and -- and I -- need to go.

This was fun wasn't it?

But how often did you get to haul-ass across a fiery endless waste while most of the legions of Hell rolled after them like a dark tidal wave of gnashing teeth and hideous, maddening howls?

Sorry, most might have been an exaggeration, they'd killed quite a few already, it's just the nasty little bastards liked to keep on coming, crawling from every nook and cranny, bidden by their master.

"I think my battery died, you get to pick the music next." Of course he's fiddling with his iPod while they run for their lives.

[Things are not looking good for our intrepid heroes right now. They may have taken down HYDRA, but the US Military is having a little bit of trouble telling the difference between the new SHIELD and the old SHIELD. New SHIELD isn't corrupt!

But new SHIELD also might end up all getting arrested if Trip and Skye don't lie low for a little while until General Talbot gives up on finding them. Which means radio silence, cash only transactions, and checking into a cheap-ass motel that will ask no questions.

Trip unlocks the door with the keycard and opens it wide.]

Well, here we are. Home, sweet temporary home.

[ The mission had gone sour. Eggsy had ended up beaten and bloody, stranded in northern Argentina. His glasses had been smashed; he knew they wouldn't broadcast anymore. But he also knew that some 100 miles away, there was a Kingsman safe house in Bolivia. If he could get there, he could send a message to HQ. And they wouldn't have to drink that godawful brandy for him.

It took him days to hitchhike and trek through the wilderness. At one point he'd had to double back to make sure he wasn't being followed. But he made it. It's barely more than a shack, but inside there's a distress beacon. He activates it, sending his coordinates out into the air. And then, because he hasn't eaten or slept in days, he passes out. ]
