Chapter 2.

The first night at the Merry Men's camp was great. Robin spent hours catching up with her brother and the Merry Men. The following morning Robin woke up to the smell of fire, meat frying. Robin gets changed into some trousers and a top along with boots in her tent. And walks out of the tent over to Roland who is sitting on a log where the campfire is. Roland is the one who is preparing breakfast.

"Smells nice," Robin said as she sat down on the log beside Roland.

"Up so soon normally you sleep until the afternoon," Roland replied.

"Well, when food calls I follow," Robin says.

"I've known that since you were five," Roland respond.

"I have a healthy appetite something you share too. I remember you came over one Christmas and ate almost half our trifle." Robin reminds her big brother.

"Must be from Dad's side," Roland said.

"Must be," Robin spoke.


Breakfast went fast and while Robin planned to spend more time with her brother. However, those plans appear to be not to be important enough. As soon the Merry Mens camp is flooded with the Sheriff and his men on horseback!
"Oh..." Robin starts but she can't finish her sentence because Roland speaks up.

"How did you find us?" Roland demands as he arms himself with his bow and arrows.

"Dedication, anger you choose." The Sheriff answers.

"Ran out of alcohol to drown your sorrows," Robin smirked.

"Actually no. But I did come across this." The Sheriff spoke as he pulled out small black band the band disappears in a poof of smoke. And then reappears on Robin's left hand.

"What the flying monkey is this," Robin says.

"A magic neutralizing spell. One that goes to the nearest magical being in sight." The Sheriff explain with a wicked smile.

"We don't need magic." Little John spoke up.

"I beg to differ I and King John are done with playing this game. Just because the legendary Robin Hood succeeded in stealing from the wealthy without just cause. Doesn't mean that you will too. All of you are paying for his crimes especially you, Roland and your sister." The Sheriff responds as one of his men pulls out a potion bottle and throws it a few of the Merry Men when the potion bottle smashes a dark smoke covers that small group of Merry Men for a few seconds before fading revealing that group of Merry Men transformed to stone!

"Those potions are Dark Magic. Where did you find them?" Robin shouted. The Sheriff's other men threw more of the potion bottles at other Merry Men transforming them into stone.

"The Dark One's former home. The traps he left behind are still very effective. But less of the questions. While the Merry Men will be displaced out in public as a warning to the people of the consequences of going against King John and I. You and Roland will be executed your heads will hang on spikes." The Sheriff said with a wicked laugh. Seconds later a potion bottle is thrown at Little John trapping him in stone too. Robin is horrified at the sight and so is Roland.

"Robin, run," Roland tells his sister before he too is hit by a potion transforming him into stone seconds later. Robin didn't have to be told twice she ran to the nearest of the Merry Men's horses dodging potions that were being thrown at her. Once on the horse, she rides out of the camp with the Sheriff and his men following. Robin had to think fast she needed to lose the Sheriff and his men. If she gets captured then her brother and the Merry Men are done for all the good deeds they have done for the poor will be over. The Sheriff and his men are close behind Robin. She had to do something remembering that she brought a couple of transportation potions with her for Roland and the Merry Men in case they ever needed to get out of a situation fast. Robin takes out one of the potions out of one of her pockets and quickly uses it causing her and the horse, she is riding to disappear in a poof of green smoke. The Sheriff and his men halted.

"Damn you, Robin," The Sheriff spoke with anger.
