Josephine got up and wandered off. When Robin and his men awoke, they found out that the girl was gone.
"She could be anywhere." Allen said.
"That doesn't mean we don't go and look for her." Will protested.
"That's not what I meant. All I'm saying is that the forest is huge and we might not find her."
The whole time robin had been thinking.
"Why don't we let Robin decide what to do." Little John suggested.
All eyes turned to Robin. He kept thinking, for 2 more minuets than spoke. "Looking for her would be hard, but it will be much easier if we follow something."
"Like what?"
"Like this rope. I loosely tied it to her ankle in case she tried to escape."
"But wouldn't she just take it off?"
"Not if she can't undo the knot."
"That still doesn't make any sense." Allen mumbled.
Robin and his men set out to find the girl.
(4 hours later)
Robin's eyes got big. "Oh no." he said, quickly getting off his horse. He ran over to something. The others looked at each other. Soon they saw though why Robin was so upset. The girl lay on the ground on her right side. It looked like her arms had been tied together. It also looked like rope had been used to tie her arms together, it was practically raw around her wrists. She lay there, beaten, bruises, shaking and crying. Robin took off his cloak and gently laid it over her. For modesty, because her clothes were shredded and because she was shaking. "Shhhh." Robin said softly as he stroked some hair out of her face. "It's ok, your alright." Robin whipped the tears away. "We'll take her to Marian's." he told his men.
"We'll ride on and tell her." Allen said.
Robin nodded and Allen and Little John rode to Marina's to tell her about the girl. Robin felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked to see Much. He handed Robin something and Robin realized it was Much's and Will's cloaks. He smiled and gave a nod of thanks. Robin wrapped the girl up in the cloaks, he got up on his horse and Much handed the girl up. Than Robin, Much, Will rode to Marian's house. Robin held or rather cradled the girl. Like you would a child. The girl had passed out by now. Robin looked down at the girl she looked around his age, he wondered what was her was story. When they got to Marian's house, she was waiting outside.
"What happened to her?" she asked as Robin carried the girl inside.
"I think she was some kind of slave and her master found her because she wandered off. And he did this." Robin gently laid the girl in Marian's bed. He took one more look at her and left. In that look Marina saw that Robin was more than angry with the man who had done this.
