Robin hood _ 127 words

Will had his back against a stone wall. The soldier in front of him pointed his sword's tip at his throat, ready to push it into his flesh. This man was about to cut him like a piece of meat and he couldn't do anything to escape this. Will was frozen, petrified. No one was around to come and save him; despite all the trust he had in Robin or Azeem, he couldn't imagine one of them appearing at the last minute.

He closed his eyes. These seconds passed too slowly. Will didn't want to die, but if he had to die now, he wanted it to be fast.

However, nothing came except a thud. Will opened his eyes to discover an arrow in the soldier's head.
