When you read this story can you please review I had none for my last chapter and I know that people read it even if its just say hi I am begging you!!!

Allan woke up as the sun shined through the cracks of his bedroom window curtain he stretched and drew the curtains then looked out of the window which had a brilliant view of Sherwood forest as he looked with his bright blue eyes he thought of the outlaws his old friends and gang, Robin the leader quick thinking on his feet, Much funny without meaning to with his never-ending complaints, John a father figure to everyone, Will his best friend in the gang despite their differences and Djaq beautiful, he might have started something with her but now after his betrayal, well there was no going back and he knew it. Allan still remembered the looks on the town peoples face's as he would hand out the food and money, full of gratitude and happiness but now whenever he passed them their faces showed anger and betrayal.

"Allan" shouted Guy of Gisbourne, Allan winced at the volume of his voice so early in the morning. Allan hurried to the courtyard, he knew it would be better to rush than to be slow in case he got on to Guy's bad side and he really did not need that. When Allan got into the courtyard there was a dozen or so guards there as well as the Sheriff and Guy. Allan went to guy's side and then the sheriff started his announcement "The Earl and Lady of Kent are coming with their three daughters tonight and will be staying here for a while and I mean what I say here I don't want any of you blundering idiots to mess this up be rude to them," said the sheriff loudly and clearly as if he was talking to idiots which Allan then thought to himself that most of them are. "Also if I insult them I won't get any of their glorious money" the sheriff murmured as an after thought but only Guy and Allan heard what he had said.

Rosa sighed wearily as the carriage rode over the bumpy forest road. She brushed her black hair from her eyes. Her two younger sisters laughing and giggling over something again but Rosa really didn't care and even if she did she wouldn't ask because then her sisters Clare and Bethany would just look at her with a look that made Rosa pretty uncomfortable, they always did that nowadays they didn't use to but after they had found out well their relationship was pretty strained from then on. Her father the earl of Kent and Mother the lady of Kent were talking about what Nottingham castle would be like, how big the rooms would be etc. The whole family had decided that it would be easier and faster to go along the North road which went through Sherwood forest when suddenly the carriage stopped with a jolt. "What in the lords name is going on?" asked her father to no one in particular as he stepped out onto the forest floor closely followed by Rosa who loved adventure she had her jewelled dagger concealed in her hand in case there was any trouble. Her sisters and mother stayed inside the carriage petrified. As she came outside she noticed there was five people surrounding the carriage. The man at the front probably the leader was pointing a bow which was fully loaded at her father. "This is an ambush,"he said.

"The people of Nottingham are starving out there."

"Don't resist and we will only take ten percent"

"Lie"

"or resist and we'll take it all."

"Wow that must have taken a while to rehearse" Rosa said to herself silently. No-one had noticed her so she crawled under the carriage and somehow managed to get into the trees. As the band of outlaws came closer to the carriage she ran to a young man with dark hair and pressed the dagger to his back. "Leave my father be or your friend gets it" she said loudly and clearly pressing the dagger into his back even further so that the man could feel some pain but no mark was made.

"Robin"he said his voice full of terror. The man called Robin looked around and saw the small dagger that was pointing into Will's back. "This is a threat," Rosa said calmly. "Either let my family and I pass or your friend will be dead before you even know it."

"Robin we can not let Will die" said a small Saracen. Rosa's father looked shocked that there was a Saracen in the woods but Rosa seemed unfazed by it. Slowly the outlaws backed off into the woods and only then did Rosa let the dagger come off from the young man's back, Will she believed his name to be. "You're letting me go?" he questioned.

"Well your friends kept their part of the deal it would be unfair if I didn't keep mine"she said in almost a singsong voice she then climbed into her carriage as Will disappeared into the trees. The rest of the journey was pretty boring but Rosa knew that the drama would start when they got to the castle. The sun was beginning to set and the carriage had just entered Nottingham.

The sheriff was getting impatient the Earl of Kent was two hours late and the sheriff was getting chilly in the early April evening. Just then he heard the sounds of horses and stood up from his chair which he had been sitting in for nearly one and a half hours whereas Guy, Allan, Marian and all the guards had been standing. When the carriage came the Earl did not even let the Sheriff speak as he started to shout so loud that the whole of Nottingham could probably hear him. "We were attacked by outlaws on the north road the only way we escaped was by Rosa's quick thinking" as he said that Rosa stepped out onto the courtyard "There she is this is Rosa he said pointing to Rosa her long black hair seemed to be fly in the gentle breeze and her blue eyes seemed to be x-raying everyone, "and this is my wife Helena" he said pointing to the finely dressed middle aged woman her blonde hair falling out in wisps from her bun "and finally this is Clare and Bethany" he said as he pointed to two blondes. Allan thought that everyone looked pretty much like everyone except for Rosa who actually looked nothing like her father or mother. "Well I'm going to remember her name if anything." he thought to himself.

"Allan will be looking after you Rosa,"said the sheriff warmly thoroughly hating this. Allan jogged down the stairs and took Rosa's bags and went to her room Rosa following suite.

At the camp in the forest the outlaws were thinking about the day it had gone pretty well until the girl had almost killed Will but if she was to be in Nottingham for a while then they would probably meet again. Robin felt like he should know the girl somehow but Robin just shook it off. Something told him that the girl was bad news but he didn't know how right he was.

Ok I've finished another chapter could I just have a few reviews please. So we've met Rosa but who is she. I'm going to be cruel but I'm not going to update until I've got five reviews.
