Jeremy nodded, his knuckles white. "There's nothing else out here. The Abbey has to be their main objective. Our only hope of getting in is if there is no attack and the hares on the wall recognize us." he said, going even faster.

"So you think Phil will be there? and Colonel Longshot?" She asked. Some how it was more comforting knowing that there were Long Patrol Hares already there on the scene. They would be able to clean up any little vermin mess in no time.

"If they were anywhere near the Abbey, they would have stopped and checked it out, even if only to pick up some more supplies. The Long Patrol never passes up an opportunity to eat Redwall tuck." said Jeremy. "You holding up O.K.?" he asked Ally. He hoped he wasn't going too fast for her.

Ally was feeling much better knowing that they would soon be in the company of other hares. She sped up and matched him stride for stride. "Me? Pasha! I woulda been a galloper if I hadn't been so dead set against joinin' the patrol. In fact I'd probably beat you there if I knew the flippin' way." She smiled and drew a few paces ahead of him in the direction he seemed to be going.

"If you insist." replied Jeremy and he tripled his pace easily, footpaws hammering the ground, racing towards the Abbey. "Hurry up now!" he called back to her. He was getting more energy instead of losing it. He hadn't had a good run in a long while.

Ally stayed neck and neck with him the whole way that is until her bow caught on a tree branch and sent her tumbling ears over tail. She wasn't hurt very badly but she had a few scrapes and a cut on her right arm. She also thought her left ankle might have twisted in the fall. She looked up the path to see how far he had gotten but she couldn't see him through the trees. "Jeremy," she called out and then remembered the vermin who were supposed to be very close now. Surely her call would bring them running not to mention the smell of the blood trickling from her scrape. Silently she closed her eyes and prayed that her protector arrived before anybeast else.

Jeremy skidded to a halt. Ally was no longer next to him. He turned around and ran back along his path, hoping that she was ok. How did I get so far ahead of her? She was right with me! he thought to himself as he ran down the path.

Ally attempted standing and found that her ankle was indeed twisted. She didn't think it was broken but it still hurt a great deal and she resisted calling out in pain. She tried to limp along the path a few steps using her bow as a crutch but going was very slow. "Please, please come and find me, Jeremy," she whispered to herself.

Jeremy saw a figure limping and thought to himself Please don't let that be Ally!. It would be very hard to get to the Abbey anytime soon while helping an injured beast along the way. Jeremy halted in front of her. He groaned inwardly. "Are you okay?" he asked.

Ally could read the disappointment in his eyes and was sorry that she was so clumsy and that she was holding him back. "M'alright. Ankle's just twisted a bit. I'll walk it off in a few minutes an' still beat you to the jolly ol' Abbey." She was trying to reassure herself as much as she was him. But she couldn't help breathe a sigh of relief that he was back beside her again.

Jeremy bent down to examine the ankle. After a moment he looked about on the ground and soon had two twigs. digging through his pack, he came out with a bandage. He carefully made a splint out of the objects and said "Try walking on that."

Ally blushed as he worked on her ankle and she didn't look him in the eye when he stood back up. She knew he was just doing what he would do to help any fellow soldier but the action felt very personal right at that moment. She took a few steps with the splint still leaning heavily on the bow but she found that her her weight was now supported much better. "Well corks Jer. You've fixed me up almost as good as new."

"You learn some things here and there in battle. My best friend twisted his ankle while charging the vermin. I had to fix his ankle in time to fight back against the vermin coming at us. Many skills are honed in the middle of battle." said Jeremy.

humph Jeremy obviously didn't get the same jolt of electricity as she did when he touched her bare ankle. He was probably so used to doing things like this in battle that it just came naturally. Well it was a new experience for Ally and there was that added attraction that she was beginning to feel for the male hare. "Well I suppose I'm ready to move on then," she huffed angrily and stalked off down the path away from him.
((just like a girl to be angry at you for something you didn't even know you did. LOL))

Jeremy had an odd look on his face. What did I do? he asked himself. Maybe she doesn't like others touching her ankles. There's nothing I can do now but keep going. he thought as he caught up with Ally.
((Or something you didn't do...))
