Memories of the Forgotten

Yes, I know it's been a long time... I'm sorry, but after my holiday vacation, I've been under writer's block like hell. However, I've managed to break down that block and wrote 2 chapters! So it's a double chapter update to apologize for the long wait!


Chapter 21


Jessica had wasted no time in telling John everything she and Eion had discussed, including the fact about who Eion was and why he was helpping. She spared no detail, believing it was best to inform him now about things. She had halfway expected him to lose his temper and start swearing halfway through the explaination, but he had remained calm and passive throughout the story. When she had reached the end, he held the sheets beneath him in a deathgrip, the only sure sign of what he was feeling at the moment.

"Damn it all."

The way he said it, so close to a whisper that she almost missed it, Jessica wondered if it was a sign of desperation. She remembered a time when John had felt powerless about the situation he was in, and this seemed no better. "John..."

"Why... why is it always us? What is it that makes us such a target anyway? I wish I knew..."

"I know it's hard John, but it's hurting everyone too. Maybe not now, but one day it might... we have to be strong for them."

He sighed and brough his head into his hands. "It's not like we asked for this to happen. I was finally happy and now... now all this is happening..."

Kessica felt her heart break as she saw him lamenting. She knew, had always known, that he had a rough time. Even if it did sound selfish, she could not blame him for wanting to feel that way. He had every right to after all. But what she didn't want was for him to give up now, now that they had come so far and achieved so much. He needed her now more then ever before. She wrapped her arms around him, in a motherly fashion, and gave him a soft hug.

They spent the rest of the night in each other's arms.


Teh next morning's sun rose and with it the two travelers. A few people who were out and about wished them both luck and a safe journey. They had made sure to resupply before moving on, as they would have a few busy days ahead of them. As Eion said they would have a few days before Aivon would rejoin them, they had planned to devote some time to serious spell training, including perhaps learning some new abilities. After all, as Jessica argued, they would need them and Aivon was probably not slacking off either.

It was only a few hours later that they had stopped to begin training. John and Jessica faced each other, sword and staff in hand, judging each other's moves. Jessica began, using offense ice magic to strike. John could have easily melted that ice without trouble, but he concentrated not to. He had to strengthen his other powers. Summoning his wind energy, he blew them off course, only to see them regroup and attack anew. John summoned his 'Earth Wall' spell to defend, only to see the ice peices gather together and fuse to become one giant ball of hail.

John pulled back as the mass of ice crushed his defense. He held his sword and focused his magic before slicing the ball in half. He looked up to see Jessica on the move again, coming in for a frontal assualt. John raised his blade to defend against her attack and push her away for some breathing room. "Bubble Storm!" John unleashed his water bubbles toward her, only to watch them freeze and be sent hurled back. Summoning wind magic once more, John unleashed a 'Wind Blade' spell to stop the attack.

John watched Jessica rush again, noticing that she had coated the tips of her staff in ice to form an ice spear. Swinging in an arc, John pulled away to unleash fire magic, only to have the water magic Jessica commanded cancel it out. John focused magic to his blade once more, before he saw a flame ignite and spread over it. Wielding his Flame Sword, John smirked to Jessica who held a small look of surprise.

John had been practicing on how to fuse his weapon with one of his elements. And although he had all elements to choose from, John played on his strengths of fire magic. It had taken some time, but he had managed to use his sword as a medium for his fire magic. Of course, it constantly drained magic from him, which meant that he couldn't use this power for too long.

Both clashed again, each devising a plan to bring the other down.


Hours later John and Jessica were finishing supper. They had both built up quite an appitite from the training as Jessica finished a second helping while John served himself a third. As John began to clear away the things, Jessica looked to him for a few moments as she began to think about their situation. Coming to a conclusion she helpped John set everything so that they could leave as soon as possible in the morning.

Once they had all set up, John decided to retire early for the night. He rested himself down and closed his eyes, only to open them again when he felt something poking at him on his side. When he saw the deep amber eyes, he flung his head up, almost knocking down Jessica who had pulled away in time. "Damn it Jessica, you KNOW I hate-"

But his ranting was cut short as Jessica reached in and gave him a kiss. He was caught by surprise but quickly leaned into the kiss which had deepened, her tongue dancing with his. They pulled away briefly, Jessica running her hand through his hair. "John... I know things are bad... but... we should still enjoy ourselves." With that she reached in for another kiss, her hand trialing down his chest slowly.

She reached the hem of his pants, working to remove the clothing as she deepened her kiss with him. She could feel his own hands wrapped around her, bringing her closer as one hand ran up and down her back, the other playing lightly with her hair. Once she had unbuckled him she began to slide his pants down when his hand suddenly stopped her. She looked to him confused, but he only smirked back as his hand reached up to hold her cheek and his lips pressed on the crook of her neck.

She let out a moan, closing her eyes and leaving only feeling. When she opened them again, she found herself topless, and him shirtless. She was a bit startled on how he had done it without her noticing, but such suspicion was erased when his hands squeezed her breasts and another moan echoed out. John's hands were rubbing and pinching, driving Jessica further into pleasure. Just as quickly as he started however, he stopped.

Jessica let out a whine as the feeling stopped, but John had another idea up his sleeve. Leaning down, he began to lick at her breasts, his tongue teasing the sensitive flesh. He ran circles with his tongue against the hardened nipple before turning his attention to the other. All the while his hand moved lower, slipping under her panties, which had grown noticably wet. His finger brushed against her clit and he was greeted to a loud cry.

He continued to rub her sex, feeling her squirm and wiggle under his touch. He pulled away the rest of her clothes, leaving her naked and pressed close to him. Slipping to fingers into her wet folds, he began to pump them slowly, as Jessica's breathing became heavy. Her eyes were half-closed and she began to make almost inaudible sounds, few words passing over her lips that sounded like "More" and "Faster".

By now, the erection in his pants could no longer be ignored and John broke contact with her for a moment to remove his own pants. Apparently though, it wasn't fast enough for Jessica's taste, for she instantly reached over and removed them herself as fast as she could. His erect cock stood proudly at attention, as John let out a slight hiss when hot flesh met cool air. Immediately, her hand wrapped around his tender flesh and began to stroke his hardened member.

It wasn't long before John pushed Jessica down to the ground and loomed over her. "I can't take it... I need you." His positioned his throbbing erection against her wet entrence. In one swift movement he thrusted and was inside her completely. Both moaned in satisfaction as they joined together and John began to thrust deep into her.

"Please... oh please more! Give me all your love!"

He lifted her hips up, allowing him to push harder and deeper into her. Each thrust caused her body to shiver in excitement as she felt herself pushed closer and closer to the edge. After a few minutes more of this, Jessica let out a cry as orgasm washed over her.

John however, wasn't nearly finished with her. Even as her inner walls squeezed around his member, John lifted Jessica up so that she was more or less in a sitting position on top of his lap. With that, John continued his thrusting, as he felt his lover's legs wrap around his waist, not wanting to let go. He could tell she had become even more sensitive to the pleasure as she was still feeling the after-effects of her orgasm. Her moans echoed loudly in his ears, and he could feel bother of their hearts racing as he too felt his own release, spilling his seed into her. This in turn brought Jessica to her second orgasm.

As they both settled down from their orgasmic high, John fell back with Jessica laying on top of him. weakly he reached for a blanket to sleep on, and another to wrap themselves up in.

"I love you John."

"I love you too, my angel."
