A/N: alright then, yes I'm back. It's not so surprising, but I do honestly apologize for my disappearance. You see there were certain projects that required my undivided attention (damn advance classes) but that's not the point, now that their finished I can get back to my hobbies. I am quite happy that my demon lords/ Greek gods idea was well accepted. Now not to give too much away but as promised in the previous chapter I will explain the twins past more information about who the twins are and why they appear to hate each other, joy. By the way, scratch what I said about Jinx and Pandora in the 3rd chapter. They are no longer just side characters, their roles are far too important. They are now full fledged main characters despite that I will try to make it Raven and Jezebel centric. So be prepared for more scenes of Jinx and Pandora
Chapter 4
Pandora's POV
Where the hell am I, I thought as I heard myself gasp against at the light nipping feeling I felt on my neck. I heard myself moan as I felt at a pleasantly soft feeling on my lips while a hand lightly rubbed my skin. I wrapped my arms around the person tangling the soft silky hair around my fingers, my breathing was increased as I writhed in pleasure, and I slowly opened my eyes so I could put a face to the person that was causing this. When my sight came into view it was blurred for a moment by the bright light of the sun, when the blurriness went away I caught a glimpse of pink hair and bright eyes similar to a cat. "Jinx!" in shock.
"Of course silly, were you expecting someone else" the pink haired girl said before returning her attention to my neck.
She continued giving me butterfly kisses until she captured my lips again causing me to gasp, I attempted to pull away but my own body wouldn't respond to me. Instead I pulled her closer to me and deepened the kiss and allowed her entry into my mouth. Stop! I shouldn't be doing this, I thought still trying to force my body to escape the seductress that held me in her arms. But it's feels so wonderful, No! This isn't right I have to stop NOW!
I woke up gasping for air as I sat in my bed, "it was just a dream" I said out laud. I felt an ache in the lower regions of my body as I remembered the explicit dream that I just had, "dammit" I said realizing that I was still feeling aroused as I went to a dark colored wardrobe to change my dampened under-garments. What is wrong with me, I thought as I picked up a hand embroidered black brazier with a black butterfly clasp in the front with light blue lacing. The matching panties for the brazier sported the same color design with a black butterfly clasp on each side located a little under the top of the hips. I walked over to the mirror and observed the reflection of myself. The clothing style was a beautiful choice that the young seamstress made, but it was much to reveling for a woman in the Elizabethan era so she only made this one, pity she wasn't born recently I thought will returning to my wardrobe to finish dressing myself, when I finished I ended up wearing black trousers and a black silk blouse completed by a pair of low heeled shoes with blue bows on the side.
As I began to walk towards my door I continued to contemplate my recent behavior, suddenly I felt a sickeningly sweet sense of happiness that forced me to stumble and latch onto the wall near me. As the feeling began to fade, I had a sudden realization on what has been forcing me to act like this, "Jezebel" I growled as I seethed in anger and the room became colder, bringing the rage I was feeling into the physical world. I walked to my door and aggressively opened it; the site of the woman that my erotic fantasy revolved around shocked me. She stood right outside my room with her hand poised to knock on the already opened door. I felt an uncommon heat rush to my cheeks as I caught myself looking so intently at the pink haired beauty, her pink hair was messy from where she slept and her eyes were only half opened making it obvious that she just woke up. I felt a deep urge to pounce onto her and ravish her as the lower areas of my body seemed to heat up as I continued to look upon her; I used my bangs as a veil to attempt to hide my blushing.
"Are you okay?" she asked, "I heard you moaning in your sleep so I came to check on you"
"Please don't worry yourself, I'm quite alright" I said trying to escape this captivating woman
She raised her hand and gently pushed my hair out of my face, after wards she kept her hands on my cheek. "Are you sure you look like you might have a fever" she said while pressing our heads together as a simple way to check my temperature, I felt my body shudder in delight as I stared into her violet eyes,
When I managed to find myself again I forced myself to look away, "um… yes a fever… demon fever that's it" I said while backing up towards the front door, "that's where I was headed… to get some supplies to make an antidote" I said nervously while opening up the door.
"Oh… okay then, be back soon" she said giving me a small smile then sitting on the black sofa, continuing to view the incredibly flat box she calls a TV.
As I shut the door I ran to through the hallway and into the elevator, after I pressed the button marked 'lobby' I leaned against the wall and sighed, "Demon fever, really!" I said berating myself, "what a pathetic excuse". After the elevator stopped I walked out into the dark cold night, the light chill in the air calmed me as I remembered what I was doing. As I started walking towards the giant T shaped tower I noticed people who looked rather brutish staring at me with impure intentions showing in their eyes as they walked towards me.
"Hey, you have any idea what time it is!" the man asked, smiling as he spoke. The man was rather odd looking, in my eyes anyway. It was mostly the way he dressed, he wore his pants sagged down showing part of his undergarments with a white sleeveless shirt that he seemed to wear with pride. Humans dress has certainly become less modest in recent time, I thought as I stared at the men.
I looked up to the moon to see wear it was in the sky and looked back to them, "it's around two in the morning, do you have a point?" I asked with a growl in my voice to show that I was dangerous.
"A lady shouldn't be out this late at night" the man said as he drunkenly reached out for me.
I pulled back slightly and scowled in disgust, "be off with you, I don't wish to spill blood during such a beautiful night" I said as a warning. Apparently the men I was dealing with were far too drunk or stupid to hear the dark tone of my voice, the man in front of me reached out and grabbed my wrist as he smiled wickedly. The rage I was feeling now was sure to change my eyes from the icy blue to blood red as I felt the temperature drop, in my hand I felt a cold knife begin to form in my hands. The two men behind him must have saw because their eyes widened in disbelief. I plunged the knife into the man arm and he quickly let go of me to try and rid him of pain.
"You bitch!" said as he pulled the weapon out of his bleeding arm. The other two men behind him left in a hurry, obviously weren't drunk enough to fight a battle that they couldn't win. "I'll make you pay for that" he said pulling out a gun.
"Fool" I said in a harsh tone before shifting my left foot slightly, a straight line of frozen spikes started to form themselves from the concrete, the last on piercing through the man's leg. The man dropped his weapon and I went over to him to assess the damage.
When I walked to him he tried to run but the spike was still lodged into his leg, "what the hell are you… you freak!" he shouted
I stared at him as he continued shouting curses at me, "silence" I said. "I will not kill you for your actions tonight" when the man heard that he seemed to smile. "But the gift of life does not come free; I expect to see a changed man out of you. And if I don't see adequate results I will find you, understood?" the man dumbly nodded as I stared at me with hopeful eyes. "Good" I said as if he was a dog, "now goodnight"
"Goodnight?" he said confused, he looked like he was about to say something else but wasn't able to get it out before I kicked him hard in the head.
As the man's unconscious body laid there I began to continue walking to the tower were sister resided. I walked down to the beached and realized that the hero's had their own isolated island, I sighed in frustration before I began walking again, every step I took freezing a path of water enough for me to walk on it. Eventually I came upon the island and walked towards the front doors, the metal doors seemed almost impenetrable until I noticed a small pad on the side with numbers printed on buttons. I touched it with my hand and accidently froze the entire consul, "dammit!" I said. I went back to the door and opened up a portal to the inside, fools, to think they don't protect themselves against people with supernatural powers. Through the door was a long hallway with numerous things Jinx calls cameras mounted on the wall. I guess they're not that stupid, I said before I threw a small blast of my ice at the contraption, but new technology doesn't seem to work well in the cold. I quickly walked towards the elevator, freezing any camera I saw. When I entered the elevator on the wall was a panel of buttons with writing next to them clearly stated was each one led too, idiots, how the hell can a city's protectors be so simple. I thought as I pressed the one that said 'main room'.
When the elevator stopped and the doors opened up, I walked into their living room and gazed at my surroundings. I saw a long black sofa in front of another large flat box similar to the one Jinx uses, humans have an odd obsession with boxes, I thought to myself as I began to walk down a hallway with doors on each side. Dammit why don't they put some kind of system of organization, I thought slowly growing irritated. I started walking down the hallways to check each room, I walked towards a door that automatically opened and looked inside. the inhabitants of the first room was a odd green person sleeping in a pile of thin paper books, the next was a room that appeared relatively clean, with the metal man hooked up to multiple cords and wires. After that the next room was locked so I simply made my own door way and walked through. The room it's self was dark and gloomy, talismans and dark colored books, as I observed the room I noticed a bed with two figures in it. There laid my troublesome twin sister curled up next to the Dark titan, before my anger could affect the temperature in the room I opened up a portal and watched my sister fall into it before I went into one myself. When I stepped onto the roof Jezebel was sitting there holding her head, when she saw me I heard her growl as she stood up
"Pandora, what the hell are you doing here?" she asked, irritation evident in her voice
"Nothing really" I said while observing my sharp nails, "just wondering why my head has been filled with lustful thoughts.
She frowned while trying to hide her reddening face, "maybe there your own" she said back
"Really now" I said with sarcasm, "then your fantasy isn't the dark titan ravishing you in a peaceful field?"
"I-I don't think of things l-like that" she stuttered
"Tsk tsk, lying to your sister" I said waving my finger at her, "what would mother say?" I said smiling at her reaction
"What's it to you? It doesn't even involve you"
"You see that's where you're wrong" my smile went away as I continued to explain, "When you're idiotic emotions start causing problems for me, I am forced to be involved". Jezebel then smiled and started laughing, "What in the world is so funny?"
"That you finally fallen for someone and you still blame me" she said holding her sides, "the ice princess is in love"
"Don't be ridicules, I am not in love, nor will I ever be" I said ignoring the heat in my face
"Tsk tsk, lying to your sister, what would mother say" she said throwing my earlier insult back at me, afterwards she burst out in laughter.
My anger began to spike to reaches that I haven't felt in years as I stared at my sister, "stop laughing like a madwoman, it's unbecoming of a woman of our stature" I said frowning at her
Despite my statement she still stood their trying to stifle her giggles, "pan's in love, pans in love" she sung lightheartedly
Finally, I snapped and within a second I was in front of her with holding her up by my icy clawed hand on her throat. Her eyes turned red and she placed her canon under my forearm and shot an electric pulse. As I pulled away from her while clutching my arm, she got up and pointed the barrel of the black weapon at me.
"I'll warn you only once, if I fight you I will not hold back" she said while dark clouds formed above.
"Really, I wouldn't want you to break a nail", I said smiling as my left hand formed similar claws as my right, "I mean, what would you be without your looks". At that comment Jezebel rushed towards me while launching pulse after pulse desperately trying to hit me, as I dodge each one with ease I noticed that she was slowly getting closer. I created a diversion be sending a wave of frozen spikes towards her left while I went right, while she was distracted I managed to slash at her but missed only making a large cuts in her shirt. Before she could recover I manage to face her again only this time kicking her into the air and following the momentum into a black flip. "You're far too slow to keep up with me Jezebel" I said landing on my feet prepared to attack again, "you should quit while you're ahead" I said as she fell to the ground.
She sat up and rubbed her head, when she got up she looked at me with the fires of rage in her eyes. Suddenly she smiled causing me a great deal of confusion. "I may not be as fast as you" she said as I noticed those accursed black wings form; she flapped them once and thrust herself into the air before she stopped at about twelve feet above me. "But I can still fly" she said flashing a smug smile
"Why don't you come back down her and fight", I said looking at her while trying to find away to force her
"I would but I might break a nail" she said pointing the canon at me again
"fine then" I said growling, the black substance that my claws were made of started to seep down my legs and eventually formed legs similar to a leopards, I jumped into the air trying to catch her but she simply flew backwards avoiding each of my slashes, around my sixth miss I noticed I was at the edge of the tower and close to falling off. Jezebel made the mistake of pausing to watch me fall allowing me to finally grab onto her leg, the extra weight forced her to crash into the tower while I let go of her to safely land on my feet, "guess what Bell" I said in a sweet voice, "I think you broke a nail". As she got up I noticed her playful attitude turned more demonic as she looked at me with scorching red eyes. she let of a blood curtailing shriek as flashes of lighting started to strike around her, I stood their shocked at the intensity of each strike as two canons, one on each arm, was now pointed at me firing off electric pulses giving me no time to dodge them, I placed my arms in front of me to take the edge off of some of them. While it didn't cut into me it still hurt like hell while blasting off sections of clothing. Eventually she stopped to rest, now just as angry as her, I rushed towards her and begun to attempted to tear her apart. She blocked most of my attaches and some only grazed her, suddenly the door across from us opened and the metal man and the green one walked out.
"What's going on out here!" the metal man said while looking around with a light on his shoulder.
"Were trying to sleep" the green one said after him, "If you're going to fight then due it in the morning"
"Well then I guess this will have to be continued at a later date" I said before jumping off the ledge to avoid being seen. Before I hit the bottom I plunged my claws into the building slowing myself down enough so that I could land safely. After I recollected myself I allowed my claws to revert to normal, I looked down at myself and noticed that my clothes seem to take the majority of the damage as I stared at massive holes. My pant legs were destroyed up to my thighs exposing my legs and the midsection my silk shirt was completely torn off showing my stomach whit multiple tears exposing the my brazier. I sighed as I realized how indecent I looked; well I guess it's time to go home. As I walked back across the water, the reflection of the moon caught my eye; suddenly a memory invaded my mind and sent me back.
I looked around at my surroundings as I sat in a lush green field; the nights in Greece never seem so peaceful. I looked to my left as Jezebel sat next to me wearing a white version of my black stola (Greek dress), in both our hair was a brooch of a golden apple, a symbol of one of our mother's favorite chaotic advents she started. She smiled at me and I smiled back, as she sat with me we both looked at the clouds calmly passing over the moon.
"Pan" she suddenly said
"Huh, what is it?" I asked curiously
"Are you worried about the competition?" she asked now looking at me.
I thought about it for a moment and then smiled, "of course not, we're the amazing"
She giggled a little at my comment, "yeah we are aren't we, there just so much older than us"
"age means nothing, it's all about how prepared you are for the battle" I said standing up and extending my hand towards her, "now let's go show those stuck up jerks what were made of" she smiled and clasp her hand around mine.
When the memory faded I felt a strong pang of guilt, stop this, guilt is not a good color. I said to myself while continuing walking down to the beach, along the way home I walked in a dazed. Before I knew it I was sitting in the elevator waiting for the door to open, I walked out and went to my door and walked in to my home. When I walked in Jinx was in the kitchen in the fridge thing.
"finally your home I thought you ran away or" she stopped talking when she looked at me, she dropped whatever she was holding and rushed to me, "what happened?" she asked worried
"I ran into some people that thought they were allowed to touch me" I half lied as she looked over me.
"Go sit on sit on the couch, I'm going to go get some things" she said as she ran off to the restroom. I sat down on the black sofa as I waited for her to return, after a few moments she came back with balls of cotton and a clear bottle. She sat down next to me and dabbed the ball into the liquid, she started to apply it to some of my wounds. At first I flinched away from the sting that it caused but I eventually just ignored it, I moved my bangs to hide my face so Jinx couldn't see me slowly turning red from how close we were together. I felt my bangs being gently pushed back, "sorry" the pink haired beauty said softly, "your hair was in the way"
"That's alright" I said as I felt my cheeks heat up, Jinx moved closer to me to dab at a small cut on my cheek. With Jinx being so close I caught the intoxicating smell of strawberries as she slowly moving closer, with my mind clouded by the delightful sense I closed my eyes and leaned closer to her as I felt the same softness press against my lips from my dream. I heard what sounded like a bottle dropping which almost caught my attention until a felt a pair of hands grace my skin with their presence, as Jinx's hands wrapped around my waist leaving a feeling of delight as I pressed closer to the so called 'bad luck charm'. I pulled back to breathe as I stared into the beautiful violet eyes that were staring at me so intently, my usual icy exterior melted under her gaze as she bulled me in for another breath taking kiss. I felt myself slowly being pushed back onto the sofa as silky pink haired cascaded around me; I felt our kiss deepened as my mind was filled up with euphoria at the presence. Jinx then switched her attention to my neck as she left butterfly kisses and occasionally nipped at the skin, my moans slowly increased volume as she slowly began to message my breast through my destroyed clothing. Within seconds I was tearing through the blouse of in order to gain closer contact to my seductress, Jinx on clasped my brazier and began licking and suckling them as I writhed in pleasure. She slowly crawled back up and captured my lips again as her hand gently began to move down to my waist and slid into my pants, gasped out as she slowly began to rub against my core. As the delightful feeling continued I noticed myself beginning to move my hips with her to increase friction, I felt one of her fingers penetrate me causing a slight pain that quickly gave way to pleasure as she gently began to increase the buildup of pleasure. As I neared the edge I began to lose my vision as wave after wave of pleasure struck me, as the tension within me released Jinx silenced me with a kiss as she continued to ravish me prolonging the feeling. After I could see clearly I found myself wrapped in the arms of the beautiful witch with a black blanket covering us. I found a smile tugging at my lips when she pulled me closer to her, and for the first time in years I felt safe just being in her presence and allowed myself to fall asleep in her arms.
Raven's POV
An hour before
I woke up when the tower's alarm went off to find that Jezebel was missing; I got up to investigate and left my room. Out in the hallway I noticed all my friends doors opened along with the one leading to the roof, I traveled up the stairs to find all of my friends crowding around my girlfriend.
"Friend Bell, are you alright" Starfire said helping her up
"Don't worry Star; I'm perfectly fine as she dusted off her shoulders smiling.
"What do you think happened to her?" Tara whispered in my ear as she stood next to me watching Starfire float around the white haired girl checking for injuries.
Ever since we found away to make her back to normal she's been friendly to me trying to repair my trust for her, after about a month of begging on her part I finally gave in and forgave her, but made it clear that it would be wise not to betray us again. "I don't know but I'll ask later" I replied back, Robin walked up to us with his arms crossed
"Do we know anything with large claws?" he asked
"Not that I know of, why?"
"Because there are large slash marks all over the building" he looked deep in thought for a moment and then headed towards the door, "I'm going to check the archives to see if I find anything" he said as he walked through the door.
"Well, I'm going back to sleep so night guy's" Jezebel said as she walked through the door with me following.
When we arrived at my room she gave off a yawn and laid in my bed, I sat down next to her and stared at the large tears in the shirt. "What happened out there?" I asked.
"Like I told the others, nothing happened" she said defensively, "just don't worry about it" she said smiling
"Was it your sister?" I asked while crossing my arms
My question froze her as the smile faded from her face, "I don't know what you're talking about" she said in a deadpan tone
I sighed heavily and rubbed my eyes, "I know Pandora is your sister, I saw you two talking at the park yesterday".
"If you saw that, then you probably saw that we don't get along that well" she said moving her hair to hide her eyes.
"Yeah I guess I did" I said softly, "how many times have you seen her since you were cursed?"
"the first time was in Rome" she said in a near whisper, "she was so angry and I didn't know why, then I saw her again after the crusades, then she was just emotionless, and before now I saw her once in the Sistine chapel. She scowling at the painting on the ceiling, then she scoffed and left as if she was disgusted by the place".
"Did she say anything to you?" I asked
"Maybe" she said with a slight hitch in her voice, "I can't remember"
"If you want I'll help you" I said desperately wanting to help do something
"How?" she asked as she turned her head to face me. The quick motion forced her hair away from her eyes and I could see tears now streaming down her eyes.
"I can help you remember" I said as I cupped her face and pressed my forehead to hers.
As I entered her mind I was suddenly rushed into a memory. I was looking at my surroundings when I noticed that I was in the Vatican, it's kind of ironic, I thought as I continued looking around.
Suddenly I saw two women walking towards me, one in a flowing white dress with a white umbrella to shield her from the sun. And the other woman appeared much younger with a black dress with teal ribbons and lace completed with a small hat with a teal ribbon tied around it, when I noticed the pure white hair I realized it was Jezebel. "Hurry along now Bell, we wouldn't want to be late" the older woman said as briskly walked towards a large chapel.
"Of course not mistress" Jezebel said back as she followed the woman, I followed them in decided to keep close to Jezebel despite the fact that she couldn't see me.
"Bell, be a good girl and stay in plain sight as I go speak with the man" she said as if she was talking to a pet.
"yes mistress" was all she said as we watched the woman wrap her arm around some man across the room and walk off, Jezebel sighed in annoyance as she turned around and began staring at the ceiling. Suddenly her head snapped to the right, as I followed were her sight was I came upon the sight of Pandora with her hair tied back in a ponytail wearing a black dress that tore up the right side to allow move with ease, she was standing next to a man clad in black and grew with his hood pulled down talking to a well refine gentleman. I followed Jezebel as she approached her sister, when she was within ear shot of her she called out to her, when Pandora made no movement Jezebel walked up to her and stood there. "Hello Pandora" Jezebel said.
"Sister" was all she said while still staring at the ceiling. Jezebel looked up at the ceiling in the same place her sister was and found the painting of god reaching out to touch Adams hand.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" she said while turning to look at Pandora again
She scoffed and turned to Jezebel, "the painting itself is beautiful" she said while gesturing to it. "But what it represents is just as vile and disgusting as the men it was painted for"
"What do you mean?" Jezebel asked shocked.
"These men of god that you see here in this city believe themselves to be god's chosen few to lead the flock of mindless sheep to a divine kingdom" she said while staring at a minister openly flirting with young women in the distance, "but in reality they just serve themselves, disgusting swine"
"Pandora" said a man shrouded in a black hood, "let us be off, I have found another group of ministers that use their power for themselves"
"Yes master" she said while following the man, suddenly there was a laud scream causing Jezebel to look. The man who was just flirting with the women now lay dead in a pool of his own blood. "Jezebel" Pandora said catching her sister's attention, "for now on don't get in my way" she said before she disappeared along with the man next to her. As the hysteria increased the memory faded with the last images of people running in a frenzy trying to find the culprit.
Back in my own body I looked upon the sleeping girl next to me, I wipe the tears from her eyes laid next to her. After a few minutes of sleeplessness I got back up and got dressed in a pair of baggy pants and a sweat shirt, I looked at Jezebel and kissed her cheek as I left her to sleep. As walked towards the elevator Robin stopped me, "what is it?" I asked in a dull voice.
"Where are you going?" he asked back
"There's a new book that I have been waiting a while to get" I said back
"Alright then, when you come back I want to talk to you about Jezebel joining the Titans".
"Fine" I said before I entered the elevator, outside on the beach I was about to take off before I heard a voice.
"Hold up" Tara said dressed up in the black t shirt and cargo shorts.
"What are you doing Tara?" I asked crossing my arms.
"well I can't let you go by yourself now can I, besides there's no way I'm missing what caused those marks" she said giving off a smirk with her hands on her hips.
After staring her down a moment I eventually gave in, "alright but keep up" I said as I flew into the night sky with Tara following. As I was flying I looked at my communicator to find the coldest place in the city, the coordinates marked the park from yesterday so I decided to check their first. When Tara and I landed she gave off a little shiver
"Why is it so cold out here?" she asked wrapping her arms around herself, "it's the middle of July!"
"Just follow me and stay close" I said as I pulled up my hood and walked through the trees toward a large, deep pond. The closer we got the further the temperature seemed to drop until eventually the grass beneath our feet started to appear near white from being frozen, Tara and I continued walking until we saw a black haired woman with her left arm crossing her chest and holding onto her right arm just below the shoulder.
"Who's that?" Tara whispered
"Jezebel's sister" I whispered back while staring at the black haired woman waiting for any signs of movement, I was distracted by the strange way her clothes looked, she appeared to be wearing a black straight jacket and pants with numerous straps and chains while her feet were bare. A small noise caught my attention away from her for a second and when I looked back she was gone.
"It's not polite to stare Raven" Pandora's voice suddenly said from behind us causing both Tara and I to noticeably jump. "What do you want?" she asked in a harsh tone
"Why did you attack your sister?" I said putting my emotionless mask back on.
"Such matters do not concern you" she said walking back to the pond, "leave now"
Before I had a chance to say anything, Tara walked up. "Look I may not know exactly who you are but you hurt my friend, and around here if you mess with one of us you mess with all of us" she said in a prideful tone while smirking.
Suddenly a sharp ice shard flew past Tara's head wiping her smirk off, "I don't wish to harm my sisters friends" Pandora said while turning to face us, "but if provoked then I will have no choice"
Tara's hands started to glow a dull yellow as large chunks of earth started to move at her will, "come on Raven we can take her" she said smiling again
"Alright, just be careful" I said while readying myself for battle
"Bell would be sad if I killed you two so I'll go easy on you" Pandora said while clasping her hands together, when she pulled them apart a large staff made of ice appeared and she took a stance similar to Robins showing she was obviously well trained. "I will give you one last chance to stand down" she said while narrowing her eyes at us
"Sorry princess, but Titans don't back down" Tara said before launching a rock at her while jumping on a larger one and ascended into the air as I followed her, when we were high enough in the air we looked back down and noticed she was gone. "Where do you think she went" Tara asked while scratching her head.
"Who knows" I said, suddenly my blood ran cold and I turned around just in time to shield myself from the staff, even though the shield worked it still sent me crashing into the ground. I stood up and saw Tara being thrown into a tree besides me. We groaned in pain as we got up and took up our battle stances again as Pandora landed back on the ground gracefully and stared at us.
"You're far too slow to keep up with me" she deadpanned, "just leave and this will end" she said pointing the staff at us yet again.
"I won't give up that easily" I spoke my mantra and two trees were surrounded in dark energy and were flung towards the black haired woman,
"Idiot!" was all she said before slamming her staff on the ground and as it shattered large spikes formed on the ground piercing the two trees, "if you want a fight" she said rolling up her sleeves to expose her fists, "then you got one" she said before rushing towards us and hitting us with two ice pillars sending us flying back.
When we recovered we both began to send random things at her to slow her down, each attempted failed as she gracefully jumped over or slid under each projectile, eventually Tara raised the ground up slightly causing her Pandora to trip, when I saw the opportunity I immediately seized her in dark energy so she couldn't move. When she stopped struggling, Tara and I approached her. "Damn your fast" Tara admired as she sat down and rubbed her arm. "And you certainly pack one hell of a punch"
"I think we can all agree that I pack more than a punch" Pandora said with her eyes narrowed as a large ice pillar nearly crushed Tara.
"What should we do with her?" Tara asked, "Surely we can't take her with us, Jezebel doesn't look like the kind of girl to appreciate us attacking her sister"
"I'm not sure, just let me think for a minute" I said as I closed my eyes to clear my head.
The sound of growling caught my attention and I looked towards Pandora, "you idiots didn't finish making a plan before you came to capture me!" she growled barring her sharpened teeth. Suddenly an ice spear shot up from the ground almost stabbing me through the chest, while avoiding the frozen point I lost my concentration on restraining Pandora. I watch her land on the ground with her head bowed, when she looked up and opened her eyes; they were a frightening scarlet red. She grabbed her head and let off a blood-curtailing scream as spears of ice formed each aimed at us, to escape Tara and I flew across the large pond as the ice spears kept trying to pierce us as they formed on the surface of the waters. Once we reached the other side we both stopped as the spears stopped as well and looked back across the water, on the other side stood Pandora, now with razor sharp claws. We both sighed in relief thinking that the body of water would slow her down because we both knew she couldn't fly.
That thought was immediately destroyed as we watched her step out onto the surface of water as it froze enough to where she could easily walk on it. "What know Raven?" Tara asked with worry evident in her voice.
As I watch her get half way across the pond I noticed everything slowly freezing over, the trees now had frost on them and the leaves hat tiny frozen droplets. The grass beneath our feet had frozen solid, breaking with our every step. And the pond entire surface was now frozen, if there wasn't a crimson eyed woman with a strong murderous intent walking toward us I would've appreciated the beauty more. "Run!" I suddenly said, Tara carried out the suggestion by following me as I flew through the frozen trees, looking back I noticed that Pandora was no longer standing on the pond. My eyes lingered on that spot for a moment longer than I should have as I looked in front of me and saw a barrage of the ice spears barely giving me enough time to fly upwards. Before I could reach my intended elevation, something impacted me and sent me crashing.
I tried to get back up but was knocked back down when Pandora pounced on me, as she straddled my waist she reached back her clawed hand and tried to pierce through my head. I moved my head to the side avoiding the attack, she reached back her other hand to attempt to attack me again before a large chunk of stone impacted her forcing her off of me. She did a handspring and when she landed she growled at us before disappearing back into the forest. Tara flew to me and grabbed my hand to help me onto the boulder she was using to fly, "let's get the hell out of here!" she said as we flew to the edge of the forest covered section of the park, when we almost reached the clearing, Tara's boulder was destroyed by a sudden force. We both fell to the ground along with shards of stone and ice; I looked up to see Pandora look upon me with her demonic eyes. I was picked up by the front of my shirt as she glared at me and bared her teeth as she growled. Compared to her intense stare I barely noticed her claws cutting into my cloths and the cuts forming on me.
I put on a brave face as her claws kept me suspended in the air, I whispered my mantra sending a large piece of stone to Pandora's back forcing her to let go of me. She stared at me with murder in her eyes as she got ready to lunge at me again, "Pan" a voice sung off to the distance behind Pandora. When the ice witch heard the voice the red in her eyes left returning to their original icy blue, and her claws disappeared. I looked behind her and saw Jinx with her pink hair down will smiling; she wore a pink shirt that exposed her stomach and black pajamas pants with a pink waist band. "Hi there sunshine" she said smiling; I frowned at hearing her nickname for me as she continue to walk towards us. When she got to Pandora she reached out and slid her arms around her waist and drew the shorter girl closer, "we should go home" Jinx said in a calm voice.
"But they attacked me" Pandora said as she looked back to us with the scarlet glow returning to her eyes.
"calm down" Jinx said as she placed her hand under her chin and softly kissed her, my eyes widened in shock as I saw the display of affection, well I guess it makes sense, they do spend most of their time together. "Forget them" Jinx said as she softly rubbed her cheek allowing me to her a soft sigh escape Pandora's lips and lean closer to the bad luck charm, "tell ya what, we'll deal with them tomorrow". Pandora nodded and wrapped her hand around Jinx's giving one last evil glare before they walked off.
"Well I'm exhausted" Tara said rolling her arm, "what do you say we head home too"
Without the adrenaline of running from the ice witch I suddenly noticed how exhausted I was, "alright let's go" I said flying into the air with Tara.
Later, Tara and I return to the tower. Tara gave a weak smile as she said goodnight and went to her room. I did the same and went to mine, when I entered my room I stripped of my clothes and laid in my bed with just my underclothes on. I suddenly heard the bathroom door open and a gasp as Jezebel rushed towards me, "what happened to you?" she asked looking at my wounds frantically looking for the disinfectant I keep in my bathroom.
I thought about lying to her but then decided against it, "I went out looking for your sister, and we had a little skirmish" I said calmly
"Why'd you fight her?" she said now cleaning my wounds, "now you're hurt"
"I can't really feel it so it's fine" I said, I really couldn't feel anything but I just blamed it on adrenaline.
"I know you can't feel anything, she does that so you won't treat your wound before it's too late" she said wrapping me in bandages
"It was so odd" I said, "she seemed pretty tamed until she found out that I lacked a plane to capture her.
"Sounds a lot like her, turn over" she said while softly nudging me to lie on my stomach.
"What do you mean?" I asked as she straddled my waist.
"I mean that there are a few things that anger her more than most things" she said as she started to massage my shoulders, "and when she's really angry she has the potential to take on armies"
"What angers her? For future references" I asked as the tension in my muscles disappeared
"Well things like stupidity, arrogance, and ignorance" she said as she went lower down my back, "and most of all she hates being called a monster"
"Good to know" I said now relax by Jezebels majestic hands
She rolled me onto my back and gave me a serious look, "promise me you won't fight her alone again"
I laughed a little at that but when I realized how important it was I smiled softly "I promise" I said as I wrapped my arms around her waist.
"Good "she said smiling softly, she pulled the covers over us and kissed me on the cheek then cuddled closer to me as we both drifted of into a deep sleep.
A/N: wow that was the longest chapter I ever wrote. But it had to be done, as you noticed I am mainly really good at description where it counts. Like battle scenes or the erotic scenes, I am working on describing environments more often, so if anyone has any tips don't hesitate. This chapter was for all the readers that stuck with me through my period of absence, so thank you for not giving up. I have officially decided to take on request/challenges for new story's so if you have a request then go ahead. Anyway I used this chapter to further develop the twins past and in future I will further explain Pandora's anger issues along with her trust and sister issues, until next time.
