Little Sisters Have No Fun
Chapter 2: Well, I Found Them…
By: AquaDreamingz

Author's Note: This chapter, too, is revised! Yeah! Once again thanking Chrissy and my other friends for telling me to get my butt in action. Also I'm in Europe right now so as you can guess I'm a bit busy and internet access is hard to come by. (I left the 12th of June.)

She moved forward, quietly as possible as not to scare off or make whatever made that noise attack her. A few more quick steps led her to clearing where soft voices drifted back to where she had hidden herself behind a thick, tall oak tree.

"Morning, Robin," a delicate woman's voice greeted to a companion. Lily could see neither but quickly identified the voice as her sister Marion's. Now all that was left was figuring out who this 'Robin' person was. Hopefully it would be a girl because then she could probably enter the clearing without being strangled by her sister… as much.

"Good morning, my lady," replied a male voice. Damn.

Full of curiosity, Lily moved so that she could see who Marion was having a secret rendezvous with in the forest. She could hardly believe who it was. She would recognize that face anywhere what with all those wanted posters everywhere. Sure the posters weren't all that accurate and he looked much stupider in the posters. But that was probably the sheriff's doing anyways. He was a stupid bawdy, hell-hated lout. The worst part was that he fancied Marion. Can you imagine having that boil-brained brute in the family? Horrid.

Despite the natural distrust of the man, Lily could see why Marion would like him. She obviously liked him; otherwise she wouldn't be out in the middle of Sherwood with him, an outlaw. Robin Hood was handsome. He looked as though he would always be cheerful in a laid back kind of way. Also, it was no wonder he hadn't been caught yet, Robin was dressed in all green that was so close to the natural colors of the wood that he just kind of faded from sight unless you were really looking or knew what to look for. On top of his sandy brown hair was a green cap with a long feather in it. Lily supposed he was kind of cute if you liked that rugged type.

Marion leaned up and gave Robin a kiss on the cheek. Lily reared back and gasped a startled 'Eww!' I mean, who really wants to see their sister kiss.

Robin immediately stopped paying attention to Marion and scanned the surroundings. Lily practically threw herself behind a tree. He frowned and reached for a hunting horn that was hanging on his waist. Bringing it to his lips, he blew and a few seconds later, men dressed in the same style as Robin appeared.

"Spread and search," came Robin Hood's voice as Lily pressed herself farther against the oak and though she could disappear into it.

I am so screwed when Marion finds out I've been spying on her. Oh and that whole outlaw thing won't help either.

A big fellow, Lily recognized from songs, tales, and wanted posters as Little John, came upon her in a few minutes. Peering down at her from bushy eyebrows, he made a slight sound of surprise.

"Found 'im, Robin," he called though his eyes never left hers as she looked up at him. Slowly she started inching away but before she had moved but a few inches he had lifted her up rather easily and became to take shockingly graceful steps back to the clearing.

And towards her sister.

"I'm going to die," she mumbled dismayed.

"I'm not going to hurt you, little one," said the giant misunderstanding.

She frowned up at him, "Oh no, I'm worried about her."

He frowned confused but lumbered on. "It's just a little girl," he called to Robin as she hung from his grip.

Marion gasped at the sight of Lily. "You little giglet!"

"You know her?" questioned Robin looking amused.

"She's my sister!" she gasped.

Little John smiled down at Lily, understanding of her earlier comment. "Little rascal, aren't you?"

"You followed me," Marion continued to rave. "You have some explaining to do!"

Little John set Lily down as she bubbled over in angry. "Me?! I have explaining to do? I'm not the one in the forest that no one without permission from the king is allowed to enter I might add, with a band of notorious outlaws!"

The two sisters glared at each other, ready to tear each other to pieces. Neither of them really understood why but such is the world of sisterhood.

The outlaws backed up. An unmistakable tension filling the air as the two sisters faced off, mouths ready for verbal combat and brain ready for the battle of wits that was sure to follow.
