This is my first Septimus Heap story, but it's not my first story that I've ever written. This takes place toward the end of Physik in the other dimension where Etheldra takes Jenna down the icy pathway. I hope you enjoy it. Oh yeah and this is in Jenna's point of view (POV).
I could feel the Ai-Ai's tail wrapping around my neck, limiting my air intake.
I looked at the blue teeth of my great, great grandma and gasped at the monstrous expression.
"You owe me much, Esmerelda." She replied through her lips.
I couldn't pull away from Etheldra's strong grasp, gripping my arm and forcing a pain through my arm.
I tried to pull away from my great, great grandma's grasp, but it only made things worse.
I finally gave up and followed Etheldra through a tunnel that suddenly grew cold.
I shivered at the small current of freezing cold air that hit my warm skin.
Etheldra finally looked behind her and I could feel her eyes barring down on my body.
I looked up to find her eyes starring into my face, full of anger and hatred.
I quickly looked down toward the ground once again and gave a heavy sigh.
There were small white streaks covering the the ground and then there was a sheet of the white streaks.
I was slowly being pulled down the tunnel against my will and there was no way that she could be stopped now.
I tryed to get away from Etheldra again, but it was once again no use.
I could finally see a small landing area leading into the water.
Etheldra finally let me go, but the Ai-Ai stayed where he was, wrapped around my neck and sitting on Etheldra's skirts.
I was slowly being urged by Etheldra to walk towards the landing and I did exactly what she wanted.
I walked onto the landing and waited for Etheldra.
She slowly walked up behind me and pushed me toward the dark waters that rippled below me.
I quickly grabbed onto her skirts and pulled her in with me.
I could hear a screech sound from behind her lips.
I could finally feel the ice cold water working up my body and forcing it to become cold.
Etheldra was frantically trying to keep her head above the water and I was doing the same.
I could hear foot steps in the distance and two figures emerged from the darkness of the tunnel.
The two figures were Snorri and Ullr.
"Jenna?" the human like figure asked me.
"Snorri, help me please." I replied and I could see Snorri's eyes widen.
The oxygen was slowly moving in and out of my body, but even less of it was flowing in and out.
Snorri finally left, but left Ullr standing where he was.
Ullr let out a small growl and I could tell that he was curious about what was happening.
More footsteps echoed through the tunnel, but there were more then the last time.
This time, three figures emerged from the darkness and they were made up of Marcellus, Nicko, and Septimus.
I could barely hear the horrified gasps as I bobbed up and down in the water.
I slowly looked above the surface of the water that I was barely treading and I could see Nicko and Septimus staring at me, but Marcallus's eyes were focused on his mother.
The water slowly filled my ears and I could barely hear anything anymore.
I could see everybody moving quickly, but obviously not quick enough for me.
My legs finally numbed and I gave up.
I stopped treading the ice cold water and slowly started sinking to the bottom of the moat.
I slowly broke all the way through the surface of the water and I could hear somebody screaming from above.
I slowly gave into death and the darkness that was beginning to overwhelm me and closed my eyes for good.
This is defiantly not a one shot because I don't want Jenna to die. Please review and tell me what you think. Oh yeah, and sorry for the short chapter. I already know what I want in that chapter.
