Robin took Regina to the woods near the cabin to begin their "training". They had risen early and took some fruit for breakfast with a glass of fresh juice Robin made.
Regina stood blindfolded trying to concentrate.
"Listen to my steps, feel my presence and that's how you will manage to find me" said Robin from a distant tree "I get closer to you and if you can touch me, you win".
"And what will my reward be?" Asked the Queen with a defiant smile.
"I'll see when you succeed".
Regina concentrated as she could and got to hear the branches creaked under Hood´s feet.
Every time she felt closer to him, she could hear his breathing and perceive his scent, soap and forest. Regina took a deep breath and she lengthened her hand, grasping Robin´s arm.
Even when she had her eyes bandaged, she turned to her right and found the surprised face of her guardian when she uncovered her eyes.
"Not bad, milady".
"I told you so" the Queen let out a wide smile "What's my prize?"
"What do you want?"
"I think I'll think about it, for the moment Iwill not takemy prize".
"As you wish" Robin leaned down to pick two sticks of wood from the floor. "Now, a bit of self-defense" He gave one of the sticks to Regina and she took it, insecure. "Imagine it being a sword".
The thief explained to the Queen how she should take the "sword" and the position it should have.
Regina and Robin had several days training. The Queen had learned to increasingly develop her senses and her physical condition was improving greatly. They ran through the forest every morning before breakfast and after they ate something they got into self-defense.
Regina was good with the sword, but better fighting. Because he was so small she moved faster and could sneak through small spaces.
Every night the Queen slept so deeply that she did not realize that her guardian watching her until he fell asleep on his couch.
Robin knew it was wrong to look at the Queen the way he did, because he not only watched to make sure no one would hurt her, but also watched because every day he reveled in her beauty. He only had to protect her, not admire her as if she was a work of art. But he could not help it.
The smell of Regina penetrated his senses making him smile every time he felt her close. That vanilla scent of her skin and the scent of strawberries from her hair.
Before going to sleep, Regina realized that Robin was sitting on the couch and watching out the window. Maybe missing someone or making sure no one would find them.
Regina was so fond of the way he protected her, he made her feel safe and confident. He was a strong, handsome man with the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. But, why did she think about that?
She could not afford to feel. She loved Daniel, and even when he was dead she would never stop doing so. Besides, she was married to the King.
The next morning, Robin woke up early as usual and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
He had decided to allow the Queen to rest from the workout. The two had had a very hard work and he thought they needed a day off.
This time he decided to make eggs for breakfast and some toasts with orange juice.
Once breakfast was over, he set the table and served the dishes. It was rare that Regina not to be awake yet.
Robin peeked into her room and saw the empty bed, he entered the room thinking maybe he would find herself in the bathroom.
"Milady?" He asked, approaching the bathroom door. "Are you there?" He gently knocked on the door and then opened it. "Regina?"
Regina was nowhere to be seen and her bedroom window was open.
Concern began to invade Robin, someone took her and he had not noticed.
He ran to his bow and picked it from the floor next to the arrows. He left the cabin as fast as he and ran, attentive to anything that looked strange in the forest, any sign of life or movement.
He began to follow the trail of footprints. The footsteps stopped and disappeared. Robin looked up and started looking for something to turn his bearings.
He heard a noise coming from his right side and started walking towards there as quietly as he could. There were bushes in front of him blocking his view. He took his bow with one hand andmoved the shrubs with the other one carefully.
There she was...
So, What do you think? Leave a comment please ;)
