"Oh, he'll no you won't.  And, FYI, I'm not your pretty one. Got that?" She growled, slipped her dagger out of her boot.

[The Skarzs]

"So you're ugly then?" Bren said sassily.

Garth struggled against the ropes, but to no avail. He was tired, and he took a little time to figure out what he was going to do.

[Cornflower MM]

"Maybe." The squirrelmaid growled, getting off of Bren. "Now, I'm going to go look for Garth. By the time we get back, you better not be in a league of here. Understand?"

[The Skarzs]

"But you must! Your heard what Garth said!" He took Arya's dagger and threw it far, backing her up against a tree.

OOC: I'm going to let you PP Bren, okay?

BIC: Garth got an idea, but he winced thinking about it. Wiggling his shoulder, he managed to pull the knife out of the tree, but his shoulder was bleeding again. Craning his neck, he bit the knife handle hard as he pulled it out, half so he could pull it out, and half to stifle his cry of pain. With much painful poking and sawing, Garth managed to cut through one of the ropes, and it got easier from there. Soon, one arm was free, and then the next.

[Cornflower MM]

"Bren! Let me go, now!" She said, since the squirrel was rubbing her cheeks. Then he smiled and started bending  his head, barely registering the punches Arya was throwing.

[The Skarzs]

Garth fell to his knees, gasping in pain. He opened his eyes and his brows furrowed. Bren. He began growling, clenching his fists. If that squirrel even. . . Without another thought of his shoulder, Garth started charging through the forest, some force of luck drawing him toward the other two squirrels.

[Cornflower MM]

"BREN! Stop it!" Arya shrieked, as his face was about an inch away from hers. She squirmed, but he grabbed her paws.

[The Skarzs]

Through his blind rage, Garth managed to see Bren trying to do something to Arya. This was too much for Garth, and he ran at full tilt, roaring.
"BRRRRRRREEEEEEENNNNN!"

[Cornflower MM]

Arya screamed, truly scared by Gath. Plus, Bren whirled atound, slapping her thigh again. Bren eyes widened, and he gadped, "But you are supposed to be tied to a tree!"

[The Skarzs]

Garth launched himself at Bren, knocking him back more than ten feet with his momentum. He raised his fist and pounded it into Bren's face. The other squirrel gasped in pain, and tried to raise his paw to his face, but Garth lifted him forcibly to his feet. Bren was in pure terror as he looked into Garth's eyes: fire raged in them, a fire of anger and pain. He was even more terrified when he felt his paws lift off the ground, Garth raising him up by his tunic and fur. Bren was thrown against a tree, and Garth was once again upon him. Once, twice he punched Bren in the stomach, and the squirrel's eyes bulged as he lost his breath. Garth stepped back as Bren fell to his paws and knees and began puking, then looked up. "How. . .?" Garth kicked him, then dragged him up.
"You will never, EVER, try to follow us again. If you even think of it, you are dead. Now leave, you piece of slime, before I'm less merciful." Bren crawled away, then stood to a crouch and ran as quickly as he could, leaving behind a small trail of blood.
Garth unclenched his fists for the first time in a while and looked at his shaking paws, falling to his knees as they went out from under him.

[Cornflower MM]

"G-Garth?" Arya whispered, taking a Fw steps firward, then stopping, looking at the crumpled figure.

[The Skarzs]

"I'm sorry. . ." Garth said, a tear dripping down his cheek. "I couldn't help myself; you're too special to me. . . too special." He tried to stop, but he cried silently anyway. He was not sure why he did cry, but it was because of how much he worried about Arya. He thought something might happen to her, and the stress he caused himself made him break down at that moment. He was  angry at Bren, but also angry at himself for losing control, for letting himself be consumed in rage, and for frightening Arya.

[Cornflower MM]

Arya was immediately on her knees beside him, gently wiping away the tears (OOC That alright?)  She was silent for a moment, then replied. "Don't be sorry, Garth. It's okay. I understand. I would have done the exact same thing." She was trying to tell him that he, too, was very special to her without actually saying so.

[The Skarzs]

"I would have killed him, you know," Garth said hoarsely, swallowing back his crying. "I would have torn him apart. Some part of me snapped, and I hope it isn't permanent. But you stopped me; I. . . remembered you."

[Cornflower MM]

Arya stopped, she'll shocked. She blinked slowly, trying to process this. Arya wasn't quite sure what to say or do.

OOC can I do some slight PP?
