Someone I never thought I'd see again - Preview
"I dont like this" John said as we all ran towards the open area of Sherwood forest. A few minutes ago the alarm had sounded and we had all gathered up our weapons and headed towards the open door. We were all waiting in position to suprise our latest victims. I looked around and nudged Robin when I saw guards with two horses, a carriage and two of the sherriffs guards.
"Get into position. Allan, Kate you two stay together. Much and Tuck come in from the top. John you stay behind me. Lets go Lads" Robin whispered as well all nodded and headed off in our different directions. Allan grabbed my hand and guided me though the branches towards our designated position. When we stopped, I noticed he still had hold of my hand. I giggled and looked up at him.
"I'm really going to need this hand back Allan" I whispered as he looked at me, then to our hands and quickly let my hand go. I smiled and faced back towards where I knew Robin was. I heard a low whistle and knew it was our que. I smiled at Allan and we both decended down the slope where the others were know holding the guards and carriage.
"This... Is an Ambush" Much said his sword raised towards the gaurds on horses.
"Theres people going hungry" Tuck continued as he walked around one of the guards that was stood behind the carriage.
"So you tell us what you've got" Allan said as he moved away from my side and walked up to the second guard on a horse.
"Be honest with us" I continued as I made my way towards the carriage.
"And we only take one tenth" Robin said as he stood watching us all move in towards our poor victims.
"LIE" John said as he growled at the other guard that Tuck had missed.
"Or resist" Allan said as he held one of his swords towards the guard's throught
"And we take it all" I said as I ripped open the carriage door. I stopped. Inside the carriage was a girl a little younger than myself. She was dressed in a pale blue maids dress. Her skin was tanned and her black hair was loose around her shoulders, little bits of hair obsured her face. But her eyes. They were a bright green and shone out against the contrast of the dark couch.
"Kate.. Are you okay?" I heard Allan say as he came over towards me and the girl in the carriage. I looked round and noticed the others were busy taking the one tenth we had told them we would take. So they'd been honest.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Get out of the carriage please" I said as the girl nodded her head slowly and stepped out of the carriage. When she was on the forest floor, I noticed she was smaller than me and her hair wasn't black, it was a deep brown. She looked at her feet as she offered me her purse. I chucked it to Allan, who nodded slightly towards her and then walked off over to Robin.
"What is your name?" I asked as the girl raised her head slightly. A gust of wind flew through the trees of Sherwood and the young girls hair moved waywordly like my own. I stopped again and dropped my sword. I knew this girl.
"Kate" Much said as all the boys came over to us. Knowing them they'd tied the guards up and left them sat on the damp forest floor. I took a step closer to the girl and locked my eyes on hers.
"Juliet?" I said as the girl raised her head fully. She smiled, tears glicening her eyes.
"Kate" She whispered as I grabbed her and hugged her tight. I smiled and squeezed her harded. Before letting go after I heard a low cough.
"Who is this?" Tuck said as he looked Juliet up and down and then looked at me. Much was looking at Robin who was looking at Tuck. John was watching us and Allan was smiling. He obviusly knew that I recognised her.
"This is someone I never thought I'd see again. This is my cousin Juliet" I said as reaslisation hit the faces of four of the five men infront of me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her as I lead her towards a log, she sat down and a tear slid down her cheek.
"Joseph.. He sent me here. Kate you have to help me." She said as she began to cry. I sat down next to her and wrapped an arm around her. I sushed her quietly and rocked her side to side.
"Its okay. Tell us what is going on." Robin said as he crouched down infront of her. She looked at me and I nodded.
"Its okay. You can trust them. This is Robin Hood. That over there is Tuck. The big guy is Little John. The one with the shield is Much. And this is Allan A Dale" I said as I pointed to each of my friends and introduced them to a quieter Juliet.
"Well he was late with his taxes again. He convinced my Mother that the only way for us to survive is if one of us went to Nottingham. He wouldn't send Kennith and Rebecca and Rose are too young. He sent me Kate. He sent me to marry someone I dont know" She said as I saw red. I had never liked my Aunts husband. He wasn't Juliet's Father, no one apart form my Aunt knew who he was. When Juliet was four, my Aunt married Joseph and had three children with him. Kennith, Rebecca and Rose.
"Who did he send you to marry?" Tuck said, his voice very quite as he looked at Juliet. His green eyes meeting hers.
"Guy of Gisbourne" She whispered. No. It wasn't happening. No.
"No. I will take you back home myself. You are not marrying Gisbourne. No way" I said as I stood up and Allan placed a calming hand on my shoulder.
"Kate. You know what Joseph is like. He wont listen to you." Juliet said her head low again.
"But he will listen to me" Robin said as we all looked at him.
"Come on, we havn't much time. Lets get going. John go and get the horses. We leave now" Tuck said as I smiled at Juliet who was beaming up at Robin. She jumped up and hugged him.
"Thank you!" She said as Robin smiled and guided her towards the horse she would be riding. John arrived back minutes later and we all saddled up and began to ride to where Juliet lived. The journey didnt last as long as I wanted it to. Joseph was a mean and violent man, he had hit both me and my Mother when Juliet and Aunt Sophie were living with us. He was horrible to Juliet because she wasn't his. God knows what he did to the three that were his children. We arrived at Aunt Sophie's a good hour later. I recognised her house staright away. Aunt Sophie loved roses and placed them round her door and in her garden. These roses were white and were a crisp colour against the brown wood of her small but pretty house.
"Katie!!" I turned round and saw two very small red headed girls running towards me. Rebecca and Rose were six year old twins. I smiled and jumped off my horse only to be tackled to the ground by my smallest cousins. I could tell them apart now, as I knew Rebecca had longer curly hair and wore a green dress while Rose had long staright hair and liked to wear yellow, however both girls wore identicle smiles.
"Ok, ladies I need to get up!" I said as I clambered to my feet, I picked up Rose, the smaller of the two and reached out for Rebecca's hand.
"I want to be picked up Katie!" She said a small irresistable pout forming on her lips. I smiled and spun her round to face the lads that were walking towards us.
"Which one of them do you want to pick you up?" I asked her as she looked the lads up and down. A thoughful look on her face, before smiling and pointing towards one of them.
"Him!" She said as I laughed.
"Hey Allan! Come here and carry Rebecca please, she doesnt want to hold my hand and wants you to carry her!" I said as Allan smiled and walked towards us and knelt down to Rebecca and picked her up.
"See, look your taller than your sister now" He laughed as Rebecca lent down and patted Rose on the head.
"Yeah, but we can still run faster than you" I said as I began to run with Rose in my arms.
"No Fair!" I heard Allan yell as he started to run towards us. I laughed and stopped jogging and we slowly walked towards the group together, Rebecca and Rose arguing the whole way there. When we arrived Juliet looked like she would faint and Much was trying to calm her down. Tuck was talking quietly to John and Robin was watching me and Allan.
"Children look good on you Allan" He laughed as Allan smiled and bounced Rebecca up and down, only for her to lean forward and grasp and Robin.
"Ok then come here little lady" Robin laughed and took Rebecca from Allan. I smiled as Rose, lent over to Allan and her gladly accepted her into his arms.
"Look after them. I going to find Sophie" I said as they both nodded then laughed as Rose, now slightly above Rebecca now, patted her hair and smiled. I smiled and walked away, I could hear the girl giggling in the background. I turned the corner and came face to face with the thing I'd been dreading. Joseph.
"Well look who it is" He said as he walked towards me. I dont know why but I felt like I was frozen to the spot I stood in. He always made me feel like this. Like I was worthless and I really didnt like it.
"Are you going to explain to me why you sold my cousin?" I asked stepping forward, gaining back my confidence. I heard the giggles of the twins get closer and I could hear Tuck and John laughing in thier low voices. I looked at him in the eye and saw nothing but anger and hatrid. Before I could do anything he was infront of me and grabbed both my arms. Squeezing me tightly.
"Do NOT talk to me like that.. understand" He said as he squeezed me a little tighter. I looked at where he was holding my arms, their were red rings around where his hands were and I was sure I would have bruises.
"I think you should let me go" I said as he only laughed.
"Why?" He said, pushing his face close to mine. He really was disgusting. His face was covered in muck and his stubble that had food stuck in it. His breath was disgusting and I felt like being sick.
"Because if you don't let her go, we'll make you" I smiled as I heard a very familliar voice. I rubbed my arms as Joseph let me go. I turned to see Allan, Robin, Little John, Tuck, Much, Rebecca, Rose and Juliet. Allan and Robin still had hold of Rose and Rebecca and I could tell they were both scared. Juliet I could see was gripping Much around his arm, as if desperate not to let him go.
