			            Marcus smiled back gently, taking a step closer to Jessica. It seemed that they had been standing there for some time as the sun was now setting. His smile soon left him though as he sighed, "Jessica.." Once again he was unsure of what to say, it hurt to speak. Mark wondered what was going through Jessica's mind and what she was thinking.

			            Jessica also noticed the sun setting, suddelny comming out of her trance like state she could not help but smile, "We should keep moving, we do not want to be out in the open at night." She said rather quietly, blushing light ly as she enjoyed Mark's touch. Although Jessica was unsure of what to say she did know that both of their feelings were apparent to eachother now. Noticing Mark's smile fade she lowered her gaze as she placed a gentle hand on his shoulder.

			            It took a bit longer than usual to process what Jessica had said, but when it did, he found himself frowning slightly. "I guess you're right..." The hand that was resting at her cheek gently found its way just under her chin, lifting Jessica's head a bit since she had gaze down. "We can talk about this later, ok?" Mark gave her a smile, before taking her hand, but not pulling away. "Shall we then?"

			            Jessica nodded lightly before leading the way into the dense forest, the path was now invisable to the untrained eye as it was covered with leaf litter."We should make it to the village in a few more hours...hopefully before it is too dark to see." She said cherrily as she picked up the pace a little, her hand was still in Mark's as they walked, she felt comfertable with this...rather than staring at eachother with a loss of words.

			            Mark followed her nod, not sure of what to say at the moment. His mind was worlds away, possibly a realty away. But Mark was focused on Jessica, regardless of his thoughts. He kept a small smile at how warm her hands were compared to his cold hands. Mark let a small sigh before speaking for the first time since they had left the clearing and heading down the path, "I wonder how things are back at the mansion... Don't you? It feels like there's something out of place back there." He then realized that this was probably a very stupid thing to mention. "Sorry.. being a telepath has its ups and downs."

			            Jessica nodded slowly, "I suppose but when I was there, there always seemed to be something out of place. Although I don't really know what telepathy is I am sure I can agree. " She said with a slight laugh, looking forward to the invisable path once more Jesica saw something move ahead of them...Stopping and turning to Mark with her finger raised to her lips in a silencing gesture, then slowly moving down into a crouch she saw something rise up out of the ground a few yards away.It was times like these she wished she could speak to people with her mind, instead she turned to face Mark with a look of worry then pointed to the rather large black shape which had not noticed them yet.

 Marcus was about to explain what telepathy was when Jessica made the gesture to stay quiet. He followed her movements and got down on one knee, slowly removing one of his guns, grateful that there was a bullet already in the chamber. Mark gave a mental sigh, sort of frustrated at the shadow ahead of them. He focused, not sure if Jessica had psychic barriers of her own, he attempted to communicate with her through telepathy.
 
 "Don't speak. Just use your thoughts as a way to 'talk' rather then vocally... Now what do you think is up ahead?" Mark sent that message to Jessica in response to her worry look before he turned to look at the figure.

			            Startled by the voice inside her mind Jessica's eyes widened as she looked at Mark, she could hear him yet his mouth did not move; telepathy she thought. Concentrating on her thoughts she spoke inside her mind rather slowly..."It is a marsh nymph..Well that is what I call them, they came from inside the portal when I was a child and have been here ever since; killing off my family and slowly forcing us to move from our homeland...I have battled with these creatures before and they are very difficult to kill." A look of concern creased Jessica's smooth forehead as she wondered if Mark had heard her.Looking back towards the figure she saw that it was staring directly at them, the grey skined face with slits for eyes and a pair of thin lips which were parted to show the rows of needle like teeth looked at them like a hungry animal who had found easy prey....it must have heard her she thought, but how when she had spoken inside her mind; then she clicked, none of the nymphs could speak yet they comunicated with eachother without sounds.
 "Oh umm yea I think they can speak through minds as well...and I think it heard us..." Jessica said once again in her mind as she placed her left hand on the ground before her and her right on the branch of a nearby tree.

			            Mark sighed mentally and kept his finger on the trigger, "So what the hell are we suppose to do? Just ******** run away because we can't kill it? This is honestly taking far too long..." But then an idea crossed his mind and this time Mark whispered his words to Jessica rather than using telepathy, "What if I distract it? I mean telepathy isn't exactly my strong point and neither are illusions but I can at least try so you can get to the portal."
 Mark slowly stood and stared at the nymph, not in the least bit disgusted since he's had his share of ugly creatures in his lifetime. He began to spin his gun around with his finger and flipping it in the air and catching it to spin it once again. "I guess thats what I get for watching Mikali in his duels..." Mark was hoping the nymph would be attracted to the shine of the metal, but of course this wasn't a part of Mark's distraction. He just needed to get the nymph's attention first.

			            "But what about you! We are ment to be going to the portal together." She cried as she watched Mark stand and start swinging his gun about, she looked back at the nymph; it had focused its attention on Mark and his gun...it seemed to have a look of recognition on its strange features. Jessica knew that if she moved it would shift its attention but she was not willing to do so...not just yet."Mark...You remember what I was saying about my new abilitys...Well I can use that to help us..." She said softly as she slowly moved her right hand forward so that her palm was facing the tree canopy above them.
 
 Jessica looked at Mark, wondering if he had heard her speak...She did not wish to loose him, they were going to make it to the portal together. Jessica concentrated on her odd abilitys, summoning an image of herself to appear in the tree above the creature; slowly something began to phase into view.

			            Marcus growled slightly when Jessica spoke and what seemed to be a telepathic replica of her above the nymph. That was what Mark had planned to do but now that Jessica had gone about doing that, he simply stopped swinging his guns. Mark turn the safety off is right gun and aimed at the nymph's neck, while he placed the other in its holster. "Well, whats the next part of your plan? If I lose you on the way to the portal I'll be able to follow your scent so I suggest you start leading the way..."
 He turned to look at Jessica over his shoulder, waiting for an answer or some sort of signal to move out. Wondering what Jessica was going to do now.

			            Jessica finished forming the image then turned to Mark. "Fine we will do it your way...I will run and please try not to get killed..." Jessica said although she was unsure of what else to say, standing up slowly she flicked her fingers a little wich caused the image of herself to drop down infront of the nymph.The nymph tilted its head at the image as though it were unsure of what it was, Jessica then kissed Mark on the cheek before running off the path into the dense forest.

			            Marcus simply smiled at Jessica when she kissed him and ran off, he let her disappear within the trees and he turned back at the nymph. The replicated Jessica stood idly in front of the nymph and the nymph seemed to attack at the image. Mark used the chance to manipulate Jessica's puppet and making it dodge the strike and only run off on the opposite direction from where Jessica ran off to. The nymph seemed to follow with a screeching roar and Mark remained still, with a gently sigh of relief, the lycan hybrid put the safety on his gun and placed it in its holster. 
 Now to get to that forsaken portal. It was fairly simple to follow after Jessica, her scent was still fresh and he was catching up very well with the help of his modifications and speed. He was beginning to hate this forest but the only reason he kept on going was Jessica.
 
 ((Its fine, lets finish this. I mean, at least you got around to posting, right? So don't worry about it. As long as you dont disappear for nearly a month =P))

 Jessica had heard the creature screech, it made the hairs on the back of her neck prickle. She had run as fast as she could, leaping over fallen logs and ducking under low hanging branches, although she was human she could move with the speed of an animal...that was why she had been brought up here.
 Jssica heard a few twigs nap behind her, hopefully it was Mark...She had not heard a gun shot she she was worried about his well being; she was nearing a clearing, the clearing where she would find the protal. Leaping over one last log she emerged into the clearing, her gaze falling on the small lake where a large whirlpool swirled about in its center.
 Stopping and looking on either side of her she could see that very few of her family lived here anymore, there were a few horses and a single watch hound stationed outside of two small houses.
 
 Jessica sighed in releif as a small woman emerged from one of the houses, she was wearing a short leather shirt with a blue velvet blouse; the woman squealed with apparent joy and rushed over to embrace Jessica.

 Marcus ran at a speed he could not control, as he was eager to get out of the forest, having spotted the clearing ahead. But for a comical relief and Mark's habit of being clumsy when it came to his speed, Mark tripped over the last log seperating the forest and the clearing. A yelp, much like a dog's, came from Mark as he rolled and stumbled to the ground, swearing as he went. Laying on his back he groaned and noticed that Jessica was there as well, with a unfamiliar woman by her, hugging her. "Family, eh?" Marcus asked with a cheesy grin.
