Chapter 7
I don't own Redwall . I own Celia, the Healer, Skytail and Joanne.
The Healer and Celia were walking. The Healer noticed that Celia was very beautiful.
" Lady Celia, heiress of the Waterfall, can you sing ? " He asked.
" Yeah." the young maid replied.
She sang the lullaby.
" Dancing bears, painted wings.
Things I almost remember.
And a song someone sings,
Once upon a december. "
The fox tooks Celia's paw and they began to dance.
" Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory."
The Healer saw an hooded-otter who was smiling at the couple and the fox understood that she was a Waterfall and the ghost of Celia's mother.
" Someone holds me safe and warm.
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory...
Far away, long ago,
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart
Used to know,
Things it yearns to remember...
And a song
Someone sings
Once upon a December"
The fox and the young hybrid kissed each other. Celia broke away.
" No." She said. " I can't do it ."
" Forgive me, Lady Waterfall."
...
" Celandine ! Celandine ! " Joanne cried.
" My dear, why do you cry ? "
" I had an horrible dream, Celandine ! " Joanne said. " Celia had her throat cut by this Skytail."
" Well, it's a nightmare." Celandine said.
" I'm scared." Joanne said
" It was only a nightmare." Celandine said, softly.
" No. I think that it was a vision."
" Don't say things like that ! "
...
Celia was torn between Skytail and the Healer. The Healer caressed Celia's arm. They kissed again.
" Celia, I love you." He said.
They became lovers this night and Celia was unfaithful.
