Chapter Two

Men of the Caribbean

The sword gleamed in the sunlight as Robin gulped, when it was jabbed closer to his neck.

"Come now,"growled Little John defensively as he unsheathed his sword and people scurried off the streets making their way inside the buildings," what business has ye' pointing a sword at my-"

"Quiet you ," hissed the man as he jabbed the sword so hard that it made a trickle of blood run down Robin's thin pale neck.

Robin stiffened slowly reaching down for his sword but the man pushed the sword harder.

Looking toward Little John, Robin thought of something he could do. Looking back toward the man he saw that he had dark brown hair that glinted almost as dangerously as his sword did, and piercing green eyes that were cold and untrusting. He was a broad shouldered man, his chest heaving as though he had ran a mile, and a trickle of sweat making its why down his face.

"Who do you think you are!?"the man was practically shouting, his long brown hair falling into his eyes as it blew in a small wind that was starting to steadily pick up.

"I'm John-"Little John was about to say before the sword was at his neck.

"I. WAS NOT. Asking. You," panted the man then quickly swiped the sword towards Robin's chest seeing as how his neck was already slightly bloody.

"Come now,"said Robin as he tried fruitlessly to soften the man's temper,"I...me and my friend are but weary travelers and we're passing through-"

"I was asking you KINDLY! What. Is. YOUR. NAME!?"he roared so loudly the two men were sure that the windows shook.

"Come now,"joked Robin as he tried to smile ,though that was kind of hard when you were wincing because a sword was jabbed an inch into your shoulder blade,"I...If that is kindly I would really 'hate' to see your bad temper."

Seeing the man was not to be swayed so easily he looked to Little John then back to the man.

"My name is Robin Hood, famous outlaw and trouble maker of Nottingham, and the leader of the merry men of Sherwood forest."

The man seemed to relax his tense muscles and nodded sharply and turned walking away.

Robin and his best friend blinked as they saw the man leave, though Little John wasted no time into seeing to Robin's injuries, but suddenly the man swiveled around his hair flying and he growled out," Well are you coming?!"

Robin blinked and nodded, while Little John mutter darkly under his breath," how are we suppose to know to come when a fool ,who goes slaying his sword around like a child would a stick, just turns and walks away? Is that his way of invitation, it be as bad as his good side th-"

"Quiet you pestering ninny,"hissed the man once again pointing the sword at Robin as he tried to sneak out his own sword along with his horn,"and I expect for you to give me all your weapons."

The two shook their heads in surprise giving him their swords and bows and arrows and, when he persisted, the horns on their belts.

"Good. Now come."

"At least,"thought Little John, " He gave an actual warning this time."

They walked down the now deserted streets in complete silence except the constant wind that had picked up blowing dust off the roads and the seldom sound of thunder in the distance that seemed to be coming closer, the smell of rain thickly covering the air.

Finally fed up with being treated like a child ready for his punishment Robin, fearing he was one of the sheriffs men, burst out," Who might ye be? Ye who go-"

"Shut your mouth boy,"growled the man and Robin's mouth clamped shut as John's jaw line tightened. Robin couldn't remember the last time he had been called 'boy', even though he was one, he knew he was respected like a man.

"Hey now,"growled out Little John angrily to see his master's spirits down,"ye might have the higher spot in the situation but it is my master I be worried about. Now ye keep that sharp tongue of thy's dulled or thy is going to be finding himself on the wrong end of the sword. My master may be of 17 year's but he is as strong and brave as any man may be!"

John huffed after that, but the soft touch of Robin's hand made him calm before he 'did' do something sinister in their current situation.

The man, who had been listening to Little John's outburst, smirked and shook his head," Well, now I see that the young one has a little guard dog. Be quiet and eat those smooth words of thy's for one should not say that another has a sharp tongue, when he himself has and one should not say something he should not back up. That could make that one get into trouble."

Nodding Robin directed Little John to fallow the strange fellow into a more secluded part of the town which looked more broken down and dark.

Finally, they stopped outside a bar, still in business, by the strong smell of the liquor and the yelling of the people and shrieks and squeals of girls, and were pushed inside. "Welcome Robin Hood,"boomed the man and the bar went silent," To the last place you will probably ever see in your lifetime."

"Who are you!"growled Little John as he stepped in front of his master protectively ready to do anything for his master's safety.

"Why who are we now?"teased a drunken man as he splattered Ale on the counter,"Why we're-"

Suddenly he burped a loud belch and fell over. After a short embarrassing silence one man, who's beard was well trimmed with sharp features and black hair that reached to his shoulders covering his eyes yelled," We're men of the Caribbean!"

"Men of the Caribbean!"

Repeated the people as they all raised their glasses in unison.

And that was the last thing that Robin heard before darkness engulfed him.Allora 2003-02-11 1 Anonymous Hay Harry!
