Chapter Two
'oh no' thought Robin
Robin had 2 options, either turn and face his capturers or he could run.
Robin decided, he didn't want to be seen as a fleeing mad man having robbed his own house, he was going turn and face them.
It turned out this wasn't a particularly good idea. As waiting on the other side of the house where the previously sleeping guards, who had no intention of letting someone get away with stealing things from the house they where meant to be guarding.
It was about the time that Robin saw the Guards running round to his side of the house with there silver weapons drawn that he remembered that he had no weapons.
' I'm screwed ' he thought to himself.
In preparation for the fight Robin ripped off his olive green cloak and put his arms up in the air waiting for the first strike to come.
"Oh good lord, it's Robin" said the guard when he saw the cloak fall off.
It was upon hearing himself say this that the guard stopped dead in his tracks, and in doing so caused his partner guard to also stop.
Then Robin saw the strangest thing happen, they put down there swords. In doing so they said this,
" We heard what you can do, we are not going to fight you, just leave us alone" one of the guards said
Upon hearing this Robin was thoroughly confused.
"What???" Inquired Robin.
" Look Robin, I got a family to feed you see, just take your things and leave, we wont try and stop you." Said the first guard
"Oh, and I have to deliver a message to you if I where to see you, from the Prince you understand. 'Robin you have done some terrible things and for that when we find you, we will hang you on the spot.' " the second guard recited.
"Well that doesn't give me much inclination to get caught then does it?" Robin replied.
Thinking what to do next Robin remembered that he should be getting moving before the guards gain enough courage to try and capture him.
Running from the township he saw no one. At all. Which was strange for a morning in any town.
Thinking about his next move. Robin concluded that he should drop his sack of clothes off before at his favorite tree doing anything else.
Whilst at his tree he noticed a branch which looked perfect for making into some kind of bow.
It's a shame I don't know the first thing about carpentry Robin thought to himself. So then resolved himself to go into town at the next opportunity and seek someone with some skills in this area.
Yet something was bothering him, he couldn't help but think it strange that in the morning the town wasn't teaming with people like it should be in the morning before everyone goes out to work in the farms or the mines. Robin resolved that this afternoon he would go back and see what the trouble was.
