Chapter one: Caught

AN: First off, I don't own The Secret of Moonacre! This is my first fanfic based on the movie and other fanfics, especially The Truth, by Junebug5000. Please review and let me know if you like it! ***Please Note:the first part is partly from the movie***

Maria's POV

"The great trapper,trapped?" I snickered. Seeing Robin upside down in his own trap, I couldn't help myself.

"Oh,ow! I can feel my head swelling!" Robin moaned.

"Poor little Robin!" I said smirking. "But it was like that before." I strode over to the rope, Robin's dagger in hand and was about to cut the rope when he spoke again.

"No,please don't" he moaned,face turning red. I stalked off, but then was called back again by bird boy.

"Don't go!"he pleaded.

"What? Is bird boy,afraid?" I said."I'll let you down but you have to do something for me..." I said slowly, trying to add more effect.

"What?" He barked, trying to sound strong, but I could see right through it.

"Just promise me you'll listen." I said,though I could see him rolling his large,brown eyes. "Just say it!" I said,but I could tell he wasn't buying it.

"I promise." He groaned,and before he could protest I sliced the rope and he slammed head-first into the ground.

Robin's POV

I was wandering the forest aimlessly,well,I was trying to avoid my father when I came upon one of the DeNoir traps which,oddly, I didn't remember setting. I creeped through the trees until I was about three feet away then took a look around cautiously. I was about to move forward when I heard a twig snap and Maria, the Moonprincess (who I was supposed to kill) step out from behind a larg?e oak.

"Giving yourself up Princess?" I mocked,"how kind of you."

I was starting to get worried now. She knew I was going to kill her but all she did was stand there smirking. I was about to say something else when I was whipped away from the ground and became suspended three feet over the ground.

"The great trapper,trapped?" She said,the smile never leaving her face.

"Let me down you witch!" I screamed at her while attempting to get out of the ropes binding my feet.

"Ok." She replied flatly, and picked up my dagger. She was about to slice it when I stopped her.

"No, nevermind." I said exasperated, I was finding it harder and harder to breathe.

"Oh,ow,I can feel my head swelling!" I moaned.

"Poor little Robin!" She mocked, "But it was like that before." She finished and walked back to the rope, dagger outstretched.

"No! Please don't!" I begged,feeling embarrassed. She then began to walk away again but I couldn't let her leave me like this.

"Wait!" I screamed, trying to sound strong.

"What?" Is Bird boy,afraid?" She said,making me even angrier. "I'll let you down if you do something for me..." She continued.

"What?" I barked,trying to sound strong.

"Just promise me you'll listen." She said. that's it? I thought. She had to be joking. Why would she let me go as long as I listened. "Just say it!" She said,clearly frustrated.

"I promise." I muttered,and before I could protest she cut the rope and I slammed into the ground.

AN: So what did you think? I know this happened in the movie but it is going to be different in the next chapter. Please review!
