thanks for reviewing alyxandriia. please follow her example and review.

Marcia landed with a thump on the hard earth of the forest floor. Her ribs still hurt from being kicked and then being used as a landing pad for Septimus didn't help her at all. She whimpered as he slowly got up off of her hoping he couldn't hear her. Her mouth was still bound and she could feel the handle of the knife poking her. Marcia was trying to get the knife so Septimus could cut the ropes on them loose. She almost had the knife in a small gap in the muzzle when she felt Septimus grab her tail before she could do anything he pulled. Marcia howled she couldn't stand much more pain. Septimus stopped pulling and said "I'm sorry Marcia really I thought i had found the knife". Marcia finished getting a hold on the knife with little trouble and twisted her body and gave it to Septimus who cut his hands free and undid the muzzle on her mouth.

After Septimus had unbound them Marcia watched as he lit a small fire so he could see. Septimus seemed tense but Marcia knew he had spent a lot of time in the forest just a few years ago in the young army. Marcia tried to get up and walk to the fire she was afraid although would never admit it but she couldn't stand her sides felt like they were on fire and she could hardly keep her eyes open. Septimus walked over to her and put a hand where Thomas kicked her. Marcia winced as she felt him press slightly it was bruised and hurt at even the slightest touch. He put his hand on her shoulder and stroked her saying "nothing broken that I can tell by tomorrow you should be alright you just need to sleep." Septimus picked her up which she hated it made her feel weak but she could do nothing to stop him so Septimus moved her closer to the fire. After a few moments Septimus mused aloud "I wonder who that Thomas guy was. He seemed insane wouldn't stop watching you and grinning like an idiot" Marcia was tired and in a lot of pain she couldn't tell him anything because of her sudden lack of speech so deciding to figure it out as soon as she could Marcia fell asleep with Septimus Petting her.

Marcia woke with a start and looked around it took her a moment to remember what had happened just hours before. The sun still hadn't come up and the fire Septimus had made earlier had gone out. Then Marcia realized what had woken her up she could hear growling not far away. Marcia saw the wolverine's eyes clearly in the dark. She saw Septimus lying next to her and forgetting for a moment that she was a dog Marcia tried to wake him up instead of speaking she barked witch woke Septimus faster than usual.

Marcia never took her eyes off of the wolverine afraid if she looked away it would pounce. She hoped Septimus thought fast and did a FREEZE but no he did the dumb thing. Marcia cringed as Septimus grabbed her around the middle and took off running. Marcia felt herself slipping now all but praying Septimus came to his senses soon. then Septimus shifted her onto his shoulder and began to climb as fast as he could. when they reached the top Marcia was ready to bite Septimus. why not do a simple FREEZE and be done with it? Septimus was pacing and muttering things to himself so Marcia watched and wondered who Thomas was. He had said that he knew her but from where? He seemed familiar in a way but as someone she might have passed in the street. Thomas where have i heard his name before? Then she remembered she had been a little child not much over 10 years old and there was a boy from up the street that liked to show off. He would show kids little charms and things to entertain them, but this man seemed so different to that kind boy how could they be the same person. Septimus sat down beside her interrupting her thoughts. Marcia felt him start petting her and determined to stop that she growled at him. He gave her a quizzical look and continued to pet her. Marcia tried to get up but it still hurt and immediately had to lay back down. Septimus had gotten the message though and stopped he stretched out and feel asleep deciding to start heading home in the morning when the wolverines were asleep.

hope you liked it. update when i can bye for now.
