CHAPTER 2 : GREAT IM BEING ROBBED
(FAYES POV)
I held my dagger by my side, ready to lash out at this mysterious boy. This didn't even faze him; I dare say it made his grin grow bigger.
"Hey boys! Look what I found, it's a Merryweather!" Out of the forest stepped out many boys dressed in black, but not the leather attire of the bowler boy " Woah now princess, put the pointy thing down, do you know what it is? It's called a dagger." The boy taunted, I hated the way he talked to me. I wasn't a two year old, and I wasn't letting the bowler boys friends think so either, so I gave it back to him.
"And I'm assuming you just learned this, well done." I said fixing him with an icy stare and a smug smile to match. The anger on his face was quite satisfactory. A very tall and muscular boy whispered loudly to bowler boy.
" She's got quite a mouth on her eh, Robin?" Robin grinned , all anger washed away from his face. I did not like that look.
"You're right Tom, she is a bit a lippy, we'll have to do something about that." Robin said with a sick smile, the rest of his gang started to chuckle. Oh poo.
"Look just leave me alone, or I will hurt you." Robin's lips just turned into a smug. The whole gang broke out "oooooooohhhhhssss" they were dunderheads, the lot of them.
"And how princess do you expect to do that, firstly we outnumber you, secondly we are all trained in archery and are skilled swordsmen." Robin said eyebrows raised. This made me feel slightly stupid, after all he was right. They were all bigger than me, it was five to one and they were probably better at archery and sword work than me, they all looked much older than me. Oh Faye how the hell are you going to get out of this one.
"I'm trained in archery and I do sword work as well, and you probably wont be able to catch me you dunderheads." I said this last bit under my breathe because in truth, I was a bit afraid of them. Though it was not low enough for Robin not to catch. He grinned slightly at this, but when he saw me looking, it instantly turned into a glare.
"Dunderheads are we? Lets test your theory on fast how you can really run, shall we princess?" Robin said, taking a step towards me leaving only inches away apart from us, then he leapt. I quickly stepped out of his way and sprinted towards the trail, I may be fast but he was very close to getting me. But then I saw the manor and the grounds, and quickly sprinted on to the grounds. Robin then stopped at the edge of the forest, as if he couldn't come closer. Of course! He was a De Noir he could not venture on to Merryweather land. I just turned around and stuck my tongue out at Robin.
