I have been playing around with this idea at lot over the last month. So hopefully it turn out alright. I hope you enjoy it :D This chapter is a flash back just so you know.

I do not own Robin Hood

Chapter 1

-Locksley – 5 years ago-

Dan Scarlett was working. His wife Jane was doing some washing. Thirteen yea old Will was sitting ageist a wall doing some witting and ten year old Luke was playing with his friends by the well. After Dan saw off a piece of wood he called Will over.

"Yet see" said Dan and Will handed over the wood he been witting on. Will had got very good at witting lately. Dan wood at the piece of wood it just had some shapes on all perfect. "It's good" said Dan "I might let you put a pattern on to the box am making"

"Who is it for?" asked Will

"Gisborn" said Dan "So we better do a good job"

"I hate him" mutter Will "When is Robin coming back?"

Dan place his hand on Will should and went to his eye level "Will be careful what you say, I hear the new sheriff can be mean" Will nodded he hear the stories too and if the sheriff was anything like Guy of Gisborn, Will rather stay right away from them. Dan looked at his son "Go a cut the firewood down to size" Will nodded and went to the pile of wood he and Luke collect earlier and pick up a axe.

"Will pay attention on what your doing" warned Jane. Will nodded he never had a way for words. He was halfway thought chopping when Luke come running.

"Gisborn back" he panted "With guards!"

Jane stood up "They collect the tax early, Dan we don't have it"

"Go into the house" said Dan "Luke, Will you too... go Will stay in there" Luke ran in and Jane gripped Will arm and pulled him inside too. Inside they say down on one of the beds. Jane in the middle with one arm around both of her boys.

Outside Dan try to carry on like nothing was wrong. The guard went to some house and people were force out and one come towards him.

"You must pay a tool tax" said one of the guards "Hand over your money"

"Since when?" asked Dan "There is not such tax"

"Since this morning by the order of the sheriff" said the guard

Dan took the money bay off his belt "This is all we have. Take it" and he handed to the guard who looked in side

"You seem a little short" said the Guard just then Guy rode up

"If you can not pay this tax today the sheriff had order to take you children in to the castle to work off the money you didn't pay" said Guy and he nodded at the guard to enter the house.

"No leave them be they only boys" said Dan as a guard kick open they door and dragged Will and Luke out. Luke seem to be in shook and let this happen and Will try to fight off and guard who got him buy the back of his shirt. Jane rust out

"NO NO LEAVE THEM" yelled Jane

"Order from the sheriff, those who can't pay the taxes their children will be taken to Nottingham if you try to fight we will kill them" Guy turn to his men "Take them to the castle"

With that Will and Luke were taken away...

End flash back. Go back to normal BBC Robin Hood time next chapter. So what do you think? I always wonder about how it was before Robin come back. In episode 1 in season 1 Guy said he has been they 3 winters 4 summers (or it could be the other way round?) So I guessing the Sheriff had been in power about the same time.

Anyway hope you enjoyed and please review :D
