Kate's heart beat faster and she stepped closer to Jasper's left. She did out of habbit as it was custom to be outta harms way should a man need to draw a sword. Kate got into Marcus's face, "Husband, I would not marry you if you were the last man on Terra Firma. You think just because a promise was given by our mothers before mine died is binding. By law a contract has to be signed by our fathers and approved by my godfather. That never happened am so I am free to marry who I wish. Hold him Jasper! Marcus I gave you a fair warning and told you to stay away. How does it feel being bested by a real fighter? Ii is nice to see you getting a taste of your own medicine. You hear me good Marcus. You mention an inkling of marriage again and I will have Jasper tear you apart. You bully anyone anymore and you will be looking over your shoulder for Jasper. Unless you want to be fodder for the town's mouser, keep away from me. I will turn you into a mouse for her to eat. Just for pestering us, I will change your fox tail into a rat tail for a week." Kate scowled as she wiggled her fingers at Marcus's tail and spoke, "Irr Ratagus Behidle for 1 week." Marcus's bushy red fox tail sparkled and became a thick, harry, rat tail. You have two seconds to vanish and Edward you get within a king's robe train from me and you will be wearing two scrawny rat tails and live a day as a rat for the town cat to chase."<br/><br/>Kate saw the cut under Jasper's eye and picked up Marcus's knife off the ground and held the point at Marcus's chest, "You so much draw your dagger on Jasper or anyone in my family, I will get permission of your father to allow Jasper to cut off your balls. I am I clear?"
