Chapter 5

I don't own Redwall . I own Celia, the Healer, Meyla and the fox family.

A few days later, Celia walked in the woods. She missed Joanne and Robin. She didn't think to her daughter. She didn't miss her daughter.

Suddenly, she heard three voice who were crying. She decided to see them. She saw four gypsies foxes : the father, the sad mother, a young male who seemed to be a bit older than Celia and a very young vixen.

" Vermins."Celia said.

She took her javelin.

" Miss, please, spare us." the mother said.

" Why ? " Celia asked.

" Our poor little daughter is very sick." The fox explained." She's going to die."

Celia looked at the young maid. She thought to her poor aunt. Meyla Waterfall was only six seasons old when she died of illness in Marshank.

" Okay." She replied.

" Thanks, Miss ? "

" Waterfall. Celia Waterfall."Celia replied.

She touched the little vixen's frondhead. It was very hot.

" Make a fire ! " She said to the young fox.

The young fox made a fire while Celia was picking made a potion with them. She lifted the potion and closed her eyes.

" You, my Mother Otter, and my Aunt, by this potion, heal this innocent little maid. Hear Celia's call."

" She's a witch..." The father said.

Celia poured the potion in the dying's mouth

" What's this ? " The mother asked, anxiously.

" A potion."

A few hours later...

" Mom, I'm thirsty." A little voice said. The little vixen.

" Rela ! " The mother said. " You're alive !

" Of course, Mommy ! " Rela, astonished.

" Miss Celia, you're a real lady. " The father said. " How can we thank you ? "

" It's only my job." Celia said.

" You saved our daughter." The mother said.

" Lady Celia, who are you ? " The son said.

" An healer."She replied.

"No, are you an otter ? "

Celia didn't reply.

" No. I'm an hybrid." She replied.

" A pretty one."

" Tailwind ! " The mother said.

" Why are you alone? "

" I search my lover. He was accused of murder and he left my village."

" Tailwind, go with Lady. Her travel is dangerous. stay with her.

" Yes, Father."

The following day...

Tailwind,nicknamed the Healer, left with Celia. It was the beggining of the tragedy. Celia's fate was sealed from this instant.
