HISTORY

number one rule with meridian, never ask her about anything dealing with her past. she doesn't like to give her mind the option of thinking about her parents and everything that had to do with her life before everything became wrecked. she still refuses to settle into her new life but she is thankful to escape for dylan and tabitha. costa is safe and never had to be exposed to her father, dylan. she has her brother maddox as her legal guardian and both carlisle and gage are no longer in danger. meridian lives with emotional and physical scars of her history but doesn't dwell on the brutality of her past.

her parents are crack jobs, they should have never been permitted to have four children. both of their careers were well on their way, dylan was thirty and tabitha was twenty seven. the young couple had secured a home in a suburban part of pennsylvania located not too far from the bustling city of philadelphia. tabitha was working in a small bakery as a cake decorator and dylan traveled to a number cafes where he would complete his stand up acts that were growing in popularity. their first kid, maddox, was unexpected but not unwanted. the family was started and they couldn't say that they were unhappy.

it was four years that went by for the family to settle in and adjust to the differences of caring for a toddler. a pair of twins caught them by surprise but they joyfully named the pair meridian and carlisle. tabitha was taking a break from working at the bakery to nurse her duo who were a handful. only a year later little baby vesper came along, and then after vesper three years passed before gage came into the family. a family six for the young couple who weren't exactly young anymore. maddox was seven now and the whole family was thriving with life. happiness was the key to the young family.

the whole family was elemental based. dylan came from a family who had a strong line of boys emerging as the fire elementals while the girls missed out on the gift. tabitha was a thunder elemental, her family only producing girls who carried an affinity for the element of thunder. they had both skipped out on college to pursue their dreams, tabitha worked with desserts and dylan was having a world of laughs as a comedian. they weren't opposed to the thought of having their children become elementals, they were sure that the girls would be thunder related and the boys would find their gift with thunder.

things were normal with the young family. dylan was devoted to this family and put them first but enjoyed the work that he was put to, thinking there was nothing greater than being a comedian. tabitha was always anxious to leave her children behind but worked called. they were in safe hands with their neighbors seventeen year old daughter. the children were a handful, always bantering and causing some sort of mild havoc. maddox was the guardian of them all while the twins romped around attached at the hip. vesper and gage were the two followers, being roped into whatever trouble the twins stirred up.

life for meridian wasn't something that she could complain about, up until the time she was ten. maddox was off to school, it was his first year and he had undoubtedly turned out to be a fire elemental. rage was a new aspect that was worked into the family, dylan had transformed into a monster. tabitha had less time to be home, she had taken over the bakery and it had become her number one priority. dylan's work had stifled to nothing more than a trickle of gigs. alcohol was the only thing that kept him happy, that and the fact that he could whine about anything he pleased. his children seemed to be his favorite topic to moan about.

meridian was scared for her life. she was ten years old and had to watch her father drink down a whole case of beer each day. when he was through with the case he would leave his spot on the couch and throw the bottles around the houses. the kids would scamper off to hide away somewhere safe but he could always find one of them. he always sliced, never hit or kicked or laid a hand on them. he would take a broken bottle and run it down their skin. it was in places that would make the cuts ache but never a place that was noticeable. meridian has jagged scars all over her stomach and thighs. the other kids would hear one of their siblings quietly moan and would cower. he didn't care who it was as long as he hurt someone. maddox tried to take a stand one summer and was returned with a bottle to the face, it ended his reign of playing super hero.

tabitha couldn't do anything, she let him continue with his addiction to alcohol. she didn't even try and fret over her children anymore. work was her only focus and trying to keep the bills up to date. dylan didn't work, he had given up on his career and was content with taking what little money his wife did make. they had to move into inner philadelphia by the time meridian was twelve. they found their way in to an apartment that only fit two. tabitha and dylan took the single room and the four children split the living room. gage took the couch, vesper slept in one chair, and the three elders sprawled out on the small floor space. their school was ill supplied and seriously dangerous. the part of town they lived in could easily be considered the slums.

two agonizing years past, the abuse continued and the children kept quiet. tabitha wasn't even apart of the home life of the young family, dylan remained home but only because he was in a constantly drunken state. the streets were too dangerous so everyone was clumped at home with their volatile father. the living room was the only place for them to remain and there was no escape from dylan. phillie was a pace that all the young children despised. it was gamble to go out onto the street, their parents were careless, and the children who weren't in the academy yet were living a nightmare.

meridian was thoughtless, the summer after her freshman year was a wild one. she had a spectacular year, she was away from her father and as a thunder elemental felt extremely at ease. she had meshed well with everyone. but she was back in phillie and had to live with her father through the whole summer. maddox had finished school and was on his own in maple hallow. meridian was now fifteen, her summer had been a risk filled with drinking and partying. she was secluded from her twin and felt numb to everything. it came at a price, she found out that early in the summer she had been raped and out of the rape she would be receiving a baby as a reminder.

she couldn't tell anyone but vesper, the one who she trusted most besides carlisle. vesper was the only one who would venture out on the streets with her when she needed to visit planned parenthood. she came their frequently over that summer. it was one trip near the end of summer that changed her life. it was dark and merry and vesper had no business being out. they had left too late and were forced to walk home into the dark. mer never thought that they would end up being mugged. she never saw his face but he grabbed her and she screamed. vesper launched herself at the man and screamed that her sister was pregnant. because of her outcry a gun was pulled and vesper was shot, meridian watched the whole scene. the man was shocked, her ran off at realizing what he had done. vesper was dead.

maddox caught word of the news that his sister was dead and that his other sister was pregnant. he was eighteen now and decided to take a serious course of action. he took his parents to court, fighting for custody over his three siblings. it seemed outrageous that a nineteen year old could think that he was capable of caring for three teens with one being pregnant. the case took nearly a year and the kids were living in foster care. each teen spoke out against their father and even showed the scars. they told that their mother was never around and the living condition wasn't acceptable. maddox was young but he showed that he a whole apartment over the cafe that he was planning on starting. he was more than able to care for his siblings.

maddox was now the legal guardian over his three siblings, they lived with him in maple hallow and they commuted from there to the school each day. meridian gave birth to coasta when she was in her sophomore year. she went through a whole year with a fat belly and the ridicule of the entire school. she held her head high and didn't give a damn about what they said. she didn't like having to think of maddox as her legal guardian and it infuriated it her that she had to sign legal rights of her child over to him too. she was considered her own child's aunt and she was caring for her as well as her siblings. it was never the life she had imagined but it was sure as hell better than her previous life.
