The other's story

Benedict Gidden

He hadn't meant to tell on Will and Luke. As they sat in the dungeon he couldn't understand why they weren't mad at him.

"It wasn't your fault! I'd been scared too…" but even though Will tried to reassure his friend Benedict still felt as if it was his fault that his friends were in the dungeons too.

It was shortly after that Robin of Locksley arrived to speak with the prisoners and they horrified learned that their punishment would be hanging.

They were going to die! His head was spinning madly while Robin read the document and later when the false monk tried to convince the sheriff that they'd become men of God. He felt the stool being kicked away under him and his breath began to stop.

Robin's voice came like something from a dream. Before he knew he was lying on the scaffold and someone pulled him down and took off his hood. He was safe. He was alive.
