The young mouse maid opened the door to the infirmary. She walked out & told Cody that the otter would be okay. Although he could need rest. The hare walked in & sat down in an old chair next to the otter babe. His stomach growled as the scents of the good redwall food continued to tease him.
------------------------------------------------
Tibbarius stepped back at the crack of the whip. I wouldn't need Redstripes help to rid the world of this vermin. He turned his attention to Mange again. You may be right. I mean it's a slaves life to know nothing. Say nothing, think nothing.... Just work while the whip makes contact with your flesh. Making lashes in your fur that won't grow back. I may know nothing about what your plans are or of youlife since leaving the castle. I may not know a lot of things. The one thing I know is that you should never under estimate a slave. Especialy when they aren't in shackles.

Mange smiled slightly. "I'm shaking." ___________________________________________________________________________
Maimer could hear muffled voices on the other side of the wall. With a great leap, she jumped over the wall and landed smoothly on the other side. Mange grinned. "Maimer! You finally made it back." He gestured to Tibbarius. "Kill him. After that, we can use the stone to take the Abbey." Maimer bit her lip. She didn't move. "Maimer...what are you waiting for? Kill him!" "Y...yes, my lord." Maimer slowly pulled out her katana and stood, staring at the mouse. "I'm...sorry. Really...I am." She raised her sword.

Didin had watched Maimer leave through the window. He stood and looked out but when she leaped the wall, he followed. He jumped out of the window and ran across the abby grounds with surprising speed, a blur to most. He leaped just before the wall, his feet made contact and he ran up the side polvaulting over the side. He landed in front of Maimer,"I'm sorry fox but I'm afraid she does not listen to you anymore. I believe she would rather be a free beast." He drew his broad sword and held it in both hands lowering into a power fighting stance."Maimer, don't listen to him. He has no power over you here, he is no threat now."

Maimer blinked a couple of times and lowered her sword. "Maimer, don't listen to him!" Mange said quickly. "He is deciving you!" Maimer looked at him. "You...I can't let you take over the Abbey...you...you beast!" Maimer sidestepped Didun and brought her sword down on Mange. Thinking quickly, Mange quickly coiled his whip around her sword. Maimer was putting lots of force on the blade now. "Mutiny...?!" Mange kicked Maimer in her stomach, causing her to fly backward and slam against the gate. She wasn't moving. Her sword was knocked out of her paw when she took the blow. Now Mange picked it up and pointed it at the beasts in front of him. "If that useless squirrel can't do it, then I will!" He ran toward the wall to try and breech it.

In the dream, a horrible thing hapened......Taggle sat bolt upright in the infirmary bed, gasping. As all of his senses came awake, he began to feel it....pain! It started in his shoulder, seeping through the entire right side of his body. He looked around, a little dazed. "w...where?" he asked faintly, looking at the infirmary. It smelled lightly of verbena, the beds lined up in rows. A window was on one of the walls, a door on the other. Various ninstruments used by healers in their trade lay neatly on shelves.

Maimer felt memories rushing back to her... "Uncle..." she murmered.
Five season old Maimer curled into a tighter ball inside the cuboard she was hidden in. She watched as rats overturned tables in her house and searched under beds, muttering to eachother. The unmoving body of her uncle lay nearby. "There's noone left, Ripthroat." The one called Ripthroat grimaced. "I coulda swore I saw anotha bushtail in here...a li'il one, too." The other rat hit Ripthroat across his head. "Wha' wuzzat fore, hi'in me upside me 'ead!" They argued on their way out of the hut. As soon as she was sure they were gone, Maimer poked her head out. "Uncle..." She jumped from the cuboard. "Uncle...!" Maimers vision got darker and she heard Manges voice getting blurry and dim. Just a bit longer, Uncle...

I don't think so vermin. Tibb said as he ran after Mange. He would never be able to leave if mange were to live. Without the armor holding him down he caught up with Mange. He unsheathed his sword before sliding to a stop in front of Mange. He wasted no time in swinging the blade at Mange's.
------------------------------------------------------------
Cody looked at the otter. T'is a balley miracle I say. Wot wot! The hare remarked exitedly. Ye should rest yer 'ead mate. Ye were injured deeply by tha arrer. Ye need some rest 'afore ye will be well again. Tell me mate was there anyone else in the woods with ya?

Mange clanged his blade with Tibbarius' and pushed down harder. There was no way this rat would stop him.

The otterbabe lay back down on the bed heavily, and looked at his bandaged shoulder. " lemme fink....." Taggle said " June. and Tibbawius!" he exclaimed, looking around again at the infirmary. " it smells funny in here." he said, and the otterbabe's stomache growled audibly.

Katarn-Revor gritted his teeth, but didn't move. He had no real idea what exactly was going on. However, judging by Tibbarius' expression and determination, this battle was his and Katarn-Revor had no right to interfere. So he would simply stay put and watch. He would not get into Tibbarius way on this. Unless the mouse warrior would call him for help.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's it! That's what he had been waiting for. Sidewinder's eye-ridges narrowed in grim determination. Gathering his strength in his arm, he lashed out with his sword into a sole oppening in the rabbits defence.

Tibb dug his pause into the ground. He pushed forward against Mange's blade. He let out a growl as he struggled for power against Mange.
----------------------------------------------------
I will see if the cook has anything fer a hurt dibbun. Jus' lay there an' I will be back in no time. Cody stood up & ran out of the room & down to the kitchen. He needed no directions as he could follow the smells emulating from the abbey stoves. He strolled in. Everyone stopped almost immediately & stared with horror at the hare standing in front of them. Cody turned his head to the side in puzzlement. Wot?

" What would a hare want in the kitchens, besides to eat us out of pantry and home, eh?" the cook half kidded, ladle in hand. Then a pot started to bubble over, grabbing the cooks full attention.

Well I am outraged Sa! Accusing a noble hare of such a thing. For shame! I jus' came down 'ere ta see if there were any vittles I kin bring up to tha' otter babe recoverin' up stairs. If'n it weren't fer tha young 'un I would be aroun' ta take such ill mannered words. Cody remarked with an air of hurt pride.
