A/N: Sorry it's taken so long for me to update this. I've been having a bit of trouble moving the plot on and i have way too many unfinished stories and i keep starting new ones!!. Anyway enough of me blabbering on lets get on with the story.


"Robin what's the plan then?" Much asked looking worried.

The gang had fled to a safe point after the guards came for them and had watched in horror as Will and Rosie were dragged away by the Sherrif's men. Rosie's screams of terror still haunted Robin's ears

"We're going to get them out of there" Robin said trying to hide his grim expression

"But how..."

"I don't know. But what i do know is that Will and Rosie are not children and they are two very resourceful people and if anyone knows how to look after themselves it'll be Rosie and Will"

"But she doesn't even have this" Much said cradleing the pieces of the broken wind rose

"She doesn't need it. She's smarter than you think and after all she's William Oak's daughter. She doesn't need a wind rose to guide her. It's in her blood. William's blood runs in her veins and as long as she has that, she has a fighting chance" Robin said standing up

"Where are we going?" Much asked following him

"To reunite as outlaws, as friends and as the fighters for justice and freedom" Robin shouted as his words echoed round the forest "Rosie don't you dare give up on us now, you may not have your wind rose but the one in your heart burns stronger than a fire"


Back in the sherrifs dungeons Rosie was back on her feet with a new found energy that even Will was surprised by. She was pacing around the cell racking her brains in thought

"Rosie for gods sake stop pacing" Will said for what felt like the hundredth time that hour

"Sorry i'm trying to think" Rosie said flashing Will a grin which made him melt inside

"Of what?"

"A way to get us out of here"

"Robin's coming for us"

"Will it'sbeen five hours and he's not come, we need to get out of here. We know what the sherrif's capable of already" she said wincing as Will touched one of the forming bruises

"Sorry" he said moving his hand

"It's fine" she said holding his hand as he went to drop it "We're going to get out of here Will, just you wait and see" she said with a cheeky grin

"Rosie whenever you get that look in your eye it worries me" Will said looking nervous

But Rosie just grinned and went to the bars of the cell

"Oh Gisbourne" she shouted but there was no response

"Rosie..." Will warned

"Ooh Gizzy" she shouted ignoring Will's warning but there was no response

"OY LEATHER WEARING GREASE BUCKET" she bellowed and this time she got a response

"I warned you to be quiet" Gisbourne said stroming in the room

"Yeah well i have issues with quiet" Rosie said looking at Will "He'll vouch for me" she said giving Will a wink

"Yeah believe me she never shus up, she's got the biggest mouth in England" Will said catching on

"A little harsh Will" she whispered

"Sorry" he blushed

"Anyway as i have such a gift of the gab i thought we could do a little trade Gizzy"

"That's Sir Guy of Gisbourne to you"

"Yeah whatever anyway deary i thought that we could to a little deal"

"What kind of deal"

"Well you are evidently aware of who my father is so how about i tell you all his secrets if you let me and handsome over here go" she said gesturing to Will who blushed a deeper red

"We don't need your secrets"

"Oh yes you do"

"And whys that?"

"Because on the maps your prosed from my fathers stone dead body there are markings and you don't know what they mean"

"And you do?"

"Deary i'm William Oak's daughter, i pratically eat maps for breakfast, they're a good surce of nutrition"

"I don't need your help Oaks, we know enough already and tommorow at sundown you and your little friend will suffer the same fate as dear old daddy" Gisbourne snarled as he stormed out of the room

"Well where did that get us?" Will said angrily

"Will do you remember when you first met me and you were talking to me by the camp fire and i did not speak?"

"Yeah" Will said softly all the anger draining out of him as he hung on to Rosie's every word

"I did not speak because i learnt that speech can give away many secrets"

"Yes but you just blabbered on"

"Yes but Will, Gisbourne talked back to me and if he was so sure of himself he would have just dismissed me. Tjose symbols on the map mean nothing they are mearly just artwork designed to entice the bearer into the detail of the map but now i have put doubt on dear old Gizzy's head"

"You made him drop his guard" Will continued

"And he didn't notice me take these" Rosie said holding up a binch of keys

"Rosie are they what i think they are?"

"Yes" she said grinning

"Rosie you stole from Gisbourne" Will gasped both in shock and admiration

"Now i don't agree with stealing but in special circumstances i think we can get away with it"

"You're crazy that was such a risky plan" Will said hugging her

"But we did it and all i can say is that Rosie Oak's is back on form" she laughed

"Rosie that's the first time i have seen you laugh" Will smiled

"Will i have been through a lot but it's made me stronger and now i have someone worth bring happy about" she said embracing Will

"Rosie you are one of a kind"

"Oh i know" she laughed "Now all we have to do is get out of here" she said checking to see if the coast is clear. She turned around to face Will and there was somthing in those hypnotic purple eyes that Will had never seen before. It was like there was somthing that had been lifited from her shoulders and now she could be who she really was again. Rosie Oaks was as free as the wind.
