Robin Hood
Angel Of Death!
Chapter 1,
Sister or Assassin,
It was the usual setting in the small town of Nottingham, peasants worked in the field, woman tended the small house like huts, and small children played with rings of metal and small sticks outside. It was peaceful enough, until a bunch scruffy looking men, a robed man, and one woman, came running into the small town, with a dozen soldiers, and horsemen on their tail. One of these horsemen included the sheriff, who rode a white flea-bitten, occasionally the men who were being chased would fire arrows at their pursuers, and every arrow had hit it's mark, knocking off soldiers, and horsemen. One of the eluders turned and fired an arrow, he turned before he saw it hit the sheriff, on the white horse, in the leg, the horse reared, but the sheriff managed to stay on, soldiers calmed the horse and pulled it to a stop.
"Fallback!" The sheriff cried out as she clutched her leg her pants were now changing to a crimson color aswell as her hand as she held her wound,
"Are you alright my lord?" one of the soldiers asked,
"Of course I'm not alright can't you see the arrow that's stuck in my leg you're even worse then that brother of mine mark my words when I catch him he won't escape execution again...damn this Robin Hood now he has resorted to killing me." The sheriff cried out as the soldier studied the wound and Robin Hood and his men ran into the forest and later at their hide out,
"Well it's once again a happy day for Robin and his men." Robin cried out as he lifted a wooden cup into the air,
"That it is we came out of it with enough gold to last for a long while." Tuck replied as he too raised his cup to the sky,
"I propose a toast to robin hood." Much called out as he and all of the men raised their cups in a toast,
"Kate what's wrong you don't seem very happy?" Robin asked now turning to look at her,
"You spared Gisborne's life...why he killed my brother?" Kate asked in return,
"I was saving Meg's life not his." Robin defended raising his voice slightly,
"Well where is he now hmmm he won't stop until he kills you." She replied,
"Kate he can't do that he's basically an outlaw now no one wants him they want him dead." Robin replied,
"I just can't understand why you let him live when he deserves to die." She said as she walked out of the hide out,
"Let her go she's just angry she'll be back." John said as he involved himself in the conversation,
Meanwhile Gisborne is in Sherwood Forest lying under a tree a wooden cross is not far from his location secured by a mound of rocks, his eyes are half-open and his skin is pale because he has not eaten for 2 days. Or had any water for the same amount of time because he refused to touch the prison food he was given. He just lies there as he remembers the time he had with meg when he was in jail awaiting execution how she had told him about his conscious being clear and about all the things he's done and all the blood on his hands. After lying motionless for several more minutes he stirs and rises to his feet the first thing that hits him is his hunger so retrieving a hand crafted bow that was leaning on the tree he was next to he slung it over his shoulder and walked toward the river to hopefully find some breakfast.
And in London Prince John is discussing the problem at hand with his mean Robin Hood and Guy of Gisborne,
"Well as you can see men we have a slight problem at Nottingham my villages don't love me and if they don't love me it means they don't pay taxes and if they don't pay taxes they disobey me and the reason for all this is because of one man's name Robin Hood." Prince John declared as he stood addressing the men around his table,
"Well John it seems you have a rather big problem on you're hands because as you know if Robin continues to promise everyone King Richards kind heart you won't have a pray at converting them to you're side." A noble, states that is seated around the table,
"Precisely my point Nobleman that's why you're future King has come up with a plan that will rid us of our whole gang of outlaws and even a new one I hear Guy of Gisborne has escaped execution and is probably now working with Robin Hood." Prince John concurs with the noble's statement,
"And what's the plan John?" Another man from around the table of crooked men asked,
"Well I guess you wouldn't call it a plan it's more of a man or should I say the best mercenary in all of England." Prince John calls out as a cue and a hooded figure walks into the room,
"Hold on how are we to trust someone who won't even show their face?" A man asked, and just then Prince John made a clicking sound with his thumb and forefinger and then there was a pause and everyone looked around then looked at him expectantly,
"Are you all, that stupid looking at the one who doubted my mercenary." Prince John called out with irritation, as everyone saw that the protester had three spiked discs sticking out of his chest.
"Does anyone else have any further questions?" He asked hopefully,
"Nope we're good." They all answered in uniscen,
"Then it's all set you'll go to Nottingham and rid me of Robin Hood and that Guy of whatever." Prince John said,
"At once Prince John it will be a pleasure." A muffled voice replied,
"Just so you know I wouldn't come back unless you've completed the task." Prince John warned, and just then, spiked discs lodged themselves in the chair in which Prince John was leaning on.
"No offense but no one threatens me." The figure warned as he turned to face Prince John then turned and walked out of the room.
"Well this is a good mercenary you got this time John he's not even afraid of you." A man stated,
"Yes well it's better to be afraid of nothing then to be afraid of everyone and everything." He replied shakily,
The hooded figure proceeded into a nearby stable, and over to a light brown piebald gelding, once there the cloak was ripped off, and mechanisms were detached her body and they were stuffed into a saddlebag. In addition, it was replaced with a silk red dress and jewels, a diamond necklace around her neck, and assorted jewels in the rings, she placed on her fingers.
She then walked back inside the palace and over to Prince John, "Well where have you been Madison?" He asked,
"I was out in the field gathering daisies John...looks like you had some pleasant company though." Madison replied,
"Please don't frighten me like that again I don't want to lose you again after all I only just found you." He said with ultimate care,
Please John relax I'm not a child I can take care of myself I have all this time haven't I?" She asked as she grabbed his hand and spun around like a ballet dancer,
"Yes it's true but you know I love you." He said allowing her to take him and engage in a poetic dance,
"Relax my brother I will be fine...but I must go away for a few days I have some business to attend to." She said cheerily as she marked the end of their dance,
"But Madison why I thought we could be together now?" John asked surprised,
"Oh John you know I have to go sometime I can't be with you forever...but just remember I'm grateful that you saved me from that hell hole and I would do anything to help you and make you happy. So when I come back we can go to York for the festival of family and friends and I'll do this because I love you." She said delightfully,
"Oh dear sister how I have missed you I know it was wrong of my mother to have sent you away but I have come back to save you so I will grant you this because I love you." John replied as he pulled his sister closer and kissed her on the cheek, "Be safe Madison." He said biding her farewell, as she left.
