This isn't my story to tell, not in any way. But I am part of it. Well a big part actually, I am the one he fell for after all. My point is, it might not be my story to tell but it is one that should be heard. So sit back, if you want to know how the greatest archer of all time, the ruler of the woods, king of the outlaws and owner of my heart came to be, then read on.
CHAPTER ONE:
It was a normal morning, nothing special at all that day. Doing my chores and humming to myself as I did so. I walked out to hang up the washing out in the garden, still humming to myself I looked out at the glorious Sherwood Forest that my garden opened to. The forest always had an ominous look about it, there were always mysteries to be found in there. I wished I could spend more time in there but my mother didn't like the idea of me, a girl running around the forest when there were so many dangers hidden in its depths. Well I thought that it was absolute rubbish, but I didn't want to disobey my mother so I listened, well most of the time anyway!
"Marian love, you have a visitor!"
The urgent cry of my father reached my ears and I immediately put down the washing I was hanging on the line and ran to the voice of my father after shouting "I'll be right there!"
I walked into my house and headed straight to the sound of my father's voice, it came from the hall, that was where my parents had meetings as my father was one of the kings retired nobles. As I strolled in my breath caught in my throat as I saw none other than the infamous Gregory of Gisborne and his conniving son, Guy. He smiled as I walked into the room, "Take a seat, sweetheart." My mother said. I sat down next to my mother the only seat which wasn't next to Sir Greg. The only thing was, that the seat next to my mother, was opposite Guy.
"Marian," Sir Greg said "I thought that you and Guy could go and play while your parents and I make business plans, would that be okay?"
"Umm..." I hesitated and looked to my mother for comfort, she nodded "Okay yes, of course." Guy beamed at me as we stood up, and then to my room. Ugh why did he have to come today? I was going to have a brilliant day and go and shoot some arrows! I thought angrily.
