he tried standing back upbut fell again

Jessica laughed as she found herself in a trap of ice.

"Oh how I love these mind games." She laughed, reaching for an arrow with her free hand.

Although it was a bit painfull and a little more than difficult, she managed to grab the arrow she wanted; A thick black arrow similar to the one she shot at Ezhno.

Jessica twirled the arrow between her fingers in a breath taking display of talent before she slammed the weapon hard into the ice, etching it's surface with cracks.

With a burst of strength, Jessica shrugged her shoulders and arched her back, shattering the weakened ice and freeing herself.

Ezhno swore alittle he could probably taken her better if it wasn't for his injury and forced him self to stand and walk to safty

Natasha looked at Jessica and growled, helping ezhno up, she couldn't find her voice to say anything.

Jessica smiled at the two then turned, leaving the now duller arrow behind as she made her way towards her brother.

"Maybe next time you'll remember that taking on two people at once isn't always as easy as it looks." She replied, looking down at Hiro who was still on his knees.

Natasha flipped Jessica off as she helped Ezhno walk, "Shut your mouth you.. you..." She said, unable to think of a comeback.

Ezhno grummbled at the cheap shot with that damn arrow and he iced his enitre leg over

Natasha forned and helped Ezhno into the lumber shop and helped him sit, "Stay here, Ezhno.. I'll get her... The lousy skank hitting an unready opponant..." She said and charged out of the building and examined the forest, trying to spot movement.

hiro felt like a weakly that had to have his sister save him, "you didnt have to save me i had them right where i wanted them," he said like a child. he slowly got up and made a cast out of the ground, "see i could have gotten up and fought."

Jessica simply smiled and rolled her eyes

"Of course you could have. Just be gratefully I was here to help." She said, patting her brother on the back.

"Now we should get out of here before that witch tries to finish you off."

Natasha continued towards them, her hands begunning to glow black, being watchful for any arrows, not wanting to be injured while ezhno wasn't there to save her, her sensitive ears had heard Jessica call her a witch, 'Witch?!' she screamed mentally as she began to walk faster.

"See, look. She's already headed this way." Jessica said, trying push her brother along faster.

"I know your hurt, but you really should move a bit faster." She said, pushing him along as she reached for her bow. Just incase Natasha was going to pick a fight, she was going to be prepared.

(lol, thanks.)

Natasha was close to them now, took close to didge an arrow. She stopped, "What the hell did you call me?!" She finally screamed, "I don't know who the hell you are, wench, But i am NO witch!" her eyes began to give off the black aura as she prepared to attack.

Jessica had already plucked an arrow from behind her back and had it pointed squarley at Natasha's shoulder.

Unfortunately, Natasha was in very close range, and an arrow at this distance, would leave more than a scar. Jessica lowered her weapon and put the arrow back in it's place.

"I don't know who the hell you are, wench, But i am NO witch!" Natasha screamed.

Jessica grinned maliciously and stared Natasha in the eye. "Maybe you're right." She replied with a laugh. "But you've sure got the attitude of a troll."

Natasha growled evilly, Her emotions beginning to take over, meaning she was about to cry, her feeling hurt. "I-- I'm not a troll either!" She yelled and looked directly at Jessica, and without warning shot her darkness directly at her, hoping for a direct, stunning hit. 'How could i be called a witch, and then a troll, that little bastard started this fight ten years ago... and now this Jessica too... Man Ezhno.. I truly hope you heal fast enough to help!' she thought.

Jessica ducked just in time to avoid a huge blast of dark energy.

This Natasha was just as powerfull as she was angry. Something told Jessica that her brother was in alot more trouble than she had first suspected.

"I suggest you calm yourself. A fight is the last thing you want right now. Your wounded friend will need you. That arrow was crawling with a light poison. Without proper care and attention, he might not get to use that leg for a very long long while."

Natasha grit her teeth, "He has his leg frozen.. The poison is sedated.. So i suggest you give me the proper antidote before i kill you AND your brother, Hiro, which wouldn't take much!" She almost screamed, "How dare you insult me as if i were some dog that had gotten into your dinner..." She whined, her attention diverted from attacking.

Jessica sighed, and leaned against her brother who was supported by the earth holding his leg in place.

"Well, if you kill my brother im afraid I'd have to kill you as well. Even if it did cost me my life. That sounds like a big waist of lives if you ask me." She said, her smile returning to her calm face.

"As for an antidote, I'd give you no such thing with an attitude like that. Besides, the poison isn't strong enough to need an antidote. Lucky for you two that poison came from a little frog. You're friend just needs alot of rest and probably some herbs and such. But I warn you, if he uses that leg to much the poison can and WILL spread."

Natasha scowled at her, "Evil wench..." She comaplained and kept her eyes on her and her brother, "And if it spreads to his chest it will kill him, And I can't carry his sorry butt! So i suggest you do find something of an antidote before I DO descide to kill you!"

Jessica looked up at the sky as if deep in thought. She tapped herself on the forehead several times, trying to look convincing.

"Sorry girl, but there is no antidote. If you'd rather me kill him...." She trailed off, her smile turning into a grin.

"But that would be a waist of a perfectly good arrow that I need to catch some dinner. Or if you would prefer to fight, Both of you might end up on hell's door step."
