Chapter 1.

"Argh why is there nothing to find?"

Mari Johnson sighed in anger as she closed another window of a useless web page. She looked at the rain outside the library window. She still had nothing to work on for the history project.

Her attention was drawn to the door as it opened and her best friend and

partner in adventures Sophie Erickson stepped in.

" I have the best idea ever!" she shouted and was quickly shushed down by the librarians.

Sophie muttered a "sorry" and walked over to Mari.

"What is this brilliant idea you speak of my friend?" she asked as Sophie sat down.

"Our history project has to be about a hero right? That we admire so we are going to do a project on Robin Hood"

"Robin Hood?" Mari repeated in a British accent and tasted the name on her lips. " I like the idea what" her sentence was interrupted by a loud "thump" behind them.

The two girls looked at each other before walking over to the source of the sound. They looked behind a shelf and found a book lying on the floor, well no surprise they were in a library however this book seemed very old older then any of the book they had seen before.

Mari picked it up and blew of some dust. The book was thick and looked like one of those you see in movies about the Middle Ages.

She let out a half snort half laugh as she red the cover.

"What is it?" Sophie asked and looked at her friend.

" Its kind of funny read the title"

Mari handed her the book and Sophie read out loud.

" Robin Hood, legend of Sherwood forest"

" Its like fate wanted us to find it" Mari said still believing in her "fate does it all" theories

"Yeah right" Sophie muttered and opened the book to its first page and read out loud again.

" Robin Hood Legend, Red Hawks saviours"

" What is that supposed to mean?" Mari walked over next to Sophie and peered down on the first page.

" That's not what it says" she muttered and read out loud:

" The red hawks will forever be remembered as the protectors of Robin Hood and his merry men and followers of the Night watchman"

" Mari it doesn't say that it says-!"

Suddenly the page the whole book started shining in a green bright light.

Sophie tried to release the book but it was as if the covers were glued to her hands.

"Sophie drop it" Mari screamed

"I c-cant!" Sophie stuttered and tried shaking the book off but it didn't work either.

Suddenly she felt her whole body dragging itself into the book she looked up at Mari and one look told her friend could feel it too.

There was a loud ZAP! And then everything went black.
