Sheriff Got Your Tongue?
Who would have known that Locksley would have changed so much? Granted I've changed too, but Locksley? Locksley's my home, the one place I felt safe, a place full of good memories of childhood and my parents. But now, thanks to Gisbourne and the Sheriff, it's changed. No longer can I feel safe in my own home, not that it is anymore. The forest is where I now live. I guess I'm sort of safe, with my loyal band of outlaws. Well most of them are anyway; still don't think Roy trusts me. Especially after I shot him!
Can't say I really enjoyed the past few days, especially being held in the dungeons! Even when Marian came to see me. Never knew she cared so much. She was willingly to help me escape; she has no idea how much that meant to me. Of course, Much came and sort of saved the day, as usual! But it was nice to know Marian's always there for me still. I'm losing count of the number of times she saved me, whether consciously done or not. Boy, do I love her! Wait, love?! Where did that come from?! Well, I guess it's true, but catch me saying that to anyone, let alone Marian. If the Sheriff ever found out that she was helping me, well I don't even want to think about it. Don't think I would be able to cope if anything happened to her. It's bad enough that I only get to see her every now and again, and those times, only for a few minutes. All this sneaking around doesn't exactly count as courting! Not that Marian would even see it as that anyway! Guess I'll just have to go back to hoping that one day the King will return, and with it, the chance of a future with Marian. It's the only thing keeping me going now! Other than helping people of course.
Looks like I've found something to keep me occupied, not that Much is very happy. Think he's almost given up on ever becoming Lord Much of Bonchurch! Maybe I should have listened to Edward and fought the system from the inside, but I couldn't let Allan, Will or anyone be hanged for petty crimes, or have their tongue cut out for my whereabouts. Guess I've got a lot of rescuing to do! But it's good to know that there are people ready to rescue me, when I need it!
