Chapter 1

Year of our Lord 1192

I wake consumed with thoughts. My dreams taunt me with the freedom I am bound to suppress and yet I feel the need for it rising as I grow older. It will be a happy day when I am finally free of this life and have moved on to the next. My father is constantly worrying after me. I suppose that is why he gave me this journal as a birthday present. I would much rather he swore to protect me against Guy. He comes daily now, always bringing a new shawl or some jewellery. Sarah needs more and more medicine by the day, as Jess is very unwell. She is still feels unable to thank me enough for the gifts I bring, so now I give them only as the Night-watchman, my new name given by the people.

I have just heard from a messenger. Robin is bound on his rout home and is but two miles away! I feel feelings resurface again but I cannot be sure. He will have no idea how much Nottingham has changed. I am too exited to sleep but I cannot, and will not be a woman who sits around and waits for a man all day.

Today he came. Marching in and having no idea what he was getting himself into. Guy is in a horrible rage. I do not know how I can keep these feelings secret any longer, but I know I cannot avoid Robin forever. There is a banquet tonight to celebrate his coming back and as I am betrothed to him, it is a requirement that I attend.

My father and I were chatting when not a moment later a knock was heard my father yelled for him to go away but Robin was persistent as always! I had to threaten him eventually. It was hard to turn him away; he had that look in his eye and the tone in his voice, and the way he said my name…..Nothing good can come of it. That is all I am sure of for now. I have to leave; the chariot is here to take me to the banquet. I will continue later.
