Isabel POV

Me and Azem had to share a hut last night, I would have gotten my own if the knew I was a girl. But Azem seems to want me to keep to my identity and sex a secret for some unknown reason a great deal more.

Honestly I dont understand why I have to make people think I'm a man, havent these people ever heard of a woman who can fight or have I come onto another world.

"Isabel, i've found that there is a waterfall, you can go there to wash if you'd like" says Azem, as he enters into the hut after talking to Robin for a little this morning.

With this I nod in appreciation and put all my gear on so no-one will see me.

"How long do I have to keep this up Azem, this is getting ridiculous" I say, standing in front of after exiting the hut.

"As long as is needed Isabel. We need to keep your true identity a secret to keep you safe" he says, from this I roll my eyes in annoyance,

"Just keep going straight on that way and you cant miss it. No one will go your way since they prefer that well for some reason" he says with this I nod and make my way to the waterfall. I have been in the need to have a wash since i havent had one in eight days now. Smelling like a boy has helped to keep my cover but personally I dont like it.

When I finally got to the waterfall I have to admit that its beautiful. I've never seen one in real life, vague pictures of them but not the real thing.

When I get to the edge i begin ot slip my man clothes off as well as my usual clothing off that I normally wear. Then I slip into the pool, loving the feel of the dirt and sweat coming off me.

After washing off, I dive into the deeper part of the pool. I love swimming I used to do it at home when I could. The feeling of freedom and fun mixed together is just perfect.

Slowly I step out of the pool, putting on my fitted brown leather jeans, boots and white long sleeved shirt. This is what I wear without the robes making me look like a man. At this momnet I'm a woman, God knows when I'll be able to just be me again.

"What the hell?"

At the sudden sound, I grab for my sais and aim towards the source of the noise, then finding it to be Will Scarlet, I found out his name last night when we all gathered in a circle.

"How long have you been standing there?" I ask, looking at him warely wihtout taking my glance off him.

"Long enough to know that your...you. A woman" he says, looking at me still in awe and surprise as well as confusion.

"Why were you here in the first place?" I ask, looking at him confused, from this he looks at me with a slight blush, I have to admit that just made him look adorable, but I dont let my guard down.

"I was...following you. I was going to ask for a re-match from when you tripped me yesterday - how did you do that? I didnt see your legs move at all and yet i found myself lying on the ground" he says, looking at me curiously, from this i smirk and hesitently lower my sais,

"Years of practice" I say, he smiles at me from this,

"So...why are you keeping yourself a secret? Whats so wrong about you being a woman?" he asks, both of us sitting at the edge of the pool.

"My brother Azem seems to think its safer. But I dont like it, no offence, but I'm a woman not a man and I'm not ashamed of it, so why I need to hide it I have no idea" I say, from this he looks at me confused,

"So dont. Be a woman, explain it to everyone and then you wont have to. Its your life, you decide what you want to do" he says, with this I look up at him from his words, they make sense.

"Your right. I'll be me now. Theres no need to hide myself" I say, with this he nods, and then we get up, I gather my stuff that I wont be hiding myself in anymore and make our way back to camp.

"Isabel! What in the name of Ala are you doing?" yells Azem when he hurries over to me. I frown at him from this, noticing that everyone is looking at us in confusion or in curosity.

"I'm sick of hiding under hundreds of clothing Azem! I want people to see me - me not your 'brother' your sister - me Isabel. This is who I am and if anyone doesnt like it then they'd better just deal with it becuase this is what I am" I say, from this he huffs and leaves in the opposite direction.

"Excuse me love? Who are you?" asks Little John, who comes up to me curiosity,

"My names Isabel, I'm Azem's sister. I'm sorry about the secracy but he thought that it would be safer for me. But I cant stand hiding myself to everyone, makes me feel like I dont exist" I say, with this he nods in what appears to be understanding.

"Well then, lets get you - Isabel - your own hut" he says, with this I smile and nod in appreciation.

I quickly get my own stuff from Azems tent and then allow Little John to lead me to my own hut. Its just as small but since its just for me I have more space.

I place my weapons in the corner, covering them up with my unneeded clothing.

When I come out of my hut some of the men look at me confused for a while but carry on with thier work. I swear I know their expressions by heart. But thats a memory I dont want to re-live any time soon.

"Isabel? May I talk to you for a minute?" asks Azem, with this I nod and follow him,

"I never meant to upset you about the secrecy. I only wanted to keep you safe" he says, with this I nod,

"I know what your intentions were Azem, but I dont like having two lives, its confusing, as well as uncomfortable, I was in that disguise for so that I nearly forgot the real me" I say, with this he nods,

"Forgive me?" he asks, looking at me pleadingly, from this I smile and nod.

"Your my brother Azem, and always will. Of course I forgive you" I say, both of us now in a hug.
