Us against the world

Chapter 3:

Her eyes narrowed as she stared absently into the water around her while her mind was a hundred miles away. How was he here? What was he doing here? What did he want? Why was he staying with the sheriff?

She sighed. There were so many questions. Too many. Too many that she couldn't answer.

But no matter what there was no way would he hurt her like that again. There was no way in the world that she would allow the man she thought to be dead to hurt her like he had done in the past. He would never have that control over her again ever.

It wasn't until the next morning at breakfast that she actually spoke. The outlaws sat around the table. Allan and much chattering loudly, which was also known as bantering, which ultimately meant they were fighting. Again.

She sat on the end of one of the benches Will had built not that long ago her finger running over one of the slight depressions in the wood. The carpenter himself sat next to her and robin across while the others were next to them.

She knew she had to talk. She knew they deserved to know. That she was putting them in danger by not telling them. And she couldn't do that. Finally when there was a moment of silence Djaq gathered every ounce of courage within her and spoke,

"He was the man I was promised to about four years ago" The entire camp went silent and every man turned to her. She remained still looking down into her food. Robin who was in front of her bent down to catch her eye,

"What happened" Much asked softy from on the other side of Will,

"Nothing. Look that's who he is everything else doesn't really matter and I really don't want to talk about it alright" she snapped surprising everyone including herself. What had happened to telling them everything. Informing them of everything she knew.

She couldn't not now. Not yet.

Knowing not to push her any further Robin asked,

"Is there anything in particular we should know about him Djaq?" She shook her head,

"Not really" Robin nodded accepting her answer

"Okay let's find out why this guy's here then" With that Djaq nodded before rising and heading back into the camp. Outside the boys looked to each other unsure exactly what to make of the situation.
