Like some sort of vengeful demon, Felaria tore through the trees in the direction the tracks had led. They were taking him in the direction of the border. Every now and then she had to drop back to the ground to make sure she was going the right way, but there were only so many safe routes through this backwater part of the swamp and they were pretty limited while dragging an unwilling form. She could move much faster through the trees.
Within twenty minutes, she caught up with them. She heard them talking, saw vague outlines moving in the darkness, and the second the words made themselves clear... she let out a shrill squeal of rage and leaped from her branch onto one of their bodies, slamming them into the squishy ground and ripping at their eyes with her claws.
A handbag. They were going to kill him and skin him. Her granddaddy had sent him away with these cousins?! WHY IN THE HELL?!

The rat that was attack screamed bloody murder as he was pinned to the ground by whoever or whatever was attacking him. He flailed useless against the attacker, struggling to get away.
The rat on top of Harold was done playing games. With a quick motion he slit the Esterberry's neck before going to help his fallen comrade.
Harold tried to scream. But the only sound that escaped him was a gurgling. He struggled against the rope that he was bound with. He could feel it. He could feel himself slipping away. He didn't want to die. He just wanted to be happy with Felaria!
But it was useless. He was going to die here and now, Bleeding out of a gaping wound in his neck. He was never going to see her again. Of all the things he expected, it wasn't this.
"Kill it!" the rat snarled as he attempted to lash out at whatever it was that was attacking.

Felaria slashed, bit, clawed, tore, and screamed at the men around her. When a gasping gurgle made it to her ears - a sound that she knew she hadn't caused because she hadn't successfully gotten at a neck yet - something in her chest siezed with a cold terror. That could only be...
"NO!" she shrieked, lunging down to bite at the man closest to her with all the strength in a young rat's jaws, bottom teeth separating so that the top could slide inward for a more sickeningly damaging bite. While her teeth were in one of them, however, two others jumped on her back, one with a knife that slid smoothly into her fur and between two ribs. She tried to scream, but the fur and flesh in her mouth muffled the sound. All that came out was a pained squeal.
More knives as the fourth joined them, making short work of their attacker now that the element of surprise had worn off. She hadn't thought enough in advance to plan, to use her Heart advantages, to do anything but hurt the men who were about to kill her love. And it ended in nothing but pain and blood.
The men didn't know who had attacked them, couldn't see her properly in the dim light, but when one of them finally lit an oil lamp that had been dropped in the fray they all fell silent.
Two bodies were slid carefully into the cloying muck of the marsh, pushed beneath the surface and weighed down with whatever they had on hand. Then they left, as quickly and quietly as they could. Her granddaddy would not be forgiving.
((DONE! :3))

Shivering Worm: This tiny, fuzzy, green worm is locked into a small glass case the size of a Human's palm. It shivers constantly and mewls softly in the night. What does it do...?
