I don't own Redwall characters. I own Constance the Young, Robin of Noonvale and Felldah Squirrel, Rosa-Broma Squirrel,Emma of Marshank and Celia and Joanne of Noonvale and Mary-Isolde.

Mattimeo ran to the infirmary . His Tess had fallen in staircaiseand was seriously hurted. She couldn't die ! His Tess was very strong but frail too . He came in the infirmary.Mr and Mrs Churchmouse were here too.Mrs Churchmouse cried in her husband's arms.Constance the young, his baby sister, was layed.She was very tired.

Tess was layed on a bed.Her frondhead was wrapped by bandage.

"Tess, my Tess"Mattimeo whispered."My Tess"

Lady Mary-Isolde entered.She looked to Tess.

"The laterose hurted her."She said.

"What did you say, Mary-Isolde?"John asked furious."My daughter is in coma and you tell old stories !"

"No, John" Mary replied. "This story is true and you know it.Old Joanne wrotten it and she told you this story."

"Mary this story is false"John Churchmouse said

"No, my grand-mother knew it too..."

Mr Churchmouse thought to the Old Joanne, his greatgrandmother.Yes, this story is true but he didn't think to his precious daughter.The laterose wanted to take her body.He went at his room and took Joanne's book which told the prophecy and he returned to the infirmary.

"Mattimeo,"Mr Curchmouse said to him " You must save Tess".

"But how?"Matti asked.

"My great-grandmother made a prophecy which told a young mousemaid named T decendant to Brome of Noonvale and a young warrior decendant to Robin of Noonvale will be engaged.the laterose would take her body and heart.Her fiancee'll help her with three late maiden."

"What was the laterose?" Matti asked

"The laterose was a mousemaid who was died very young " Mr Churchmouse replied. " She was loved by a young warrior too."

"Tess is in danger, isn't she?"Mattimeo asked

"Yes"John said.

Suddenly, Constance the young had cramps and roared in the death.Sister May tried to calm her but Constance yelled yet and she cried.

"I saw her again ! " She yelled."I saw her! She had killed Tess now she going to kill me! "

"Connie, calm down" Sister May said

" She killed Tess! She going to kill me ! "

Mattimeo hold Constance.

"Nobody are going to kill you, Constance" Matti said softly to his baby sister.

John and Mary-Isolde looked at each-other.They worried about Tess but Constance too.Connie could see the laterose.She was maybe in danger.

Dark Forest

Tess woke up in grass.A squirrelmaid looked at her.She looked like to Jess but she was frail. She wore a blue dress.

"Where is I? Tess asked anxiously

" You are in the Dark Forest" The sqirrelmaid replied.

" am I die?!" Tess asked.

" Not yet " She replied to Tess. "You had fallen in the staircases"

"Who are you?"Tess asked.

" I'm Rosa-Broma " The squirrelmaid replied."I was an healer in Redwall."

Rosa-Broma took Tess' paw and she entered in an old cottage.An older squirrelmaid was here with Celia too. Tess reconized her as Lady Celandine.Lady Celandine was older than in her dream.She always wore a large hat on her head and her yellow dress.She smilled at Tess.

Celia didn't smile.She looked worried.She got up from her chair and approached Tess.

"Are you dead?"Celia asked to Tess

"No, I m in coma " Tess relied

"Don't worry Celia " Rosa-Broma said to her, " Tess is fine now"

"Rosa, she is in coma"Celia repled," She is not fine.she is between the life and the death"

"Celia is right,honey" Celandine said softly.

Tess was worried.She was in Dark Forest and she is between the life and the death.
