They left shortly after Ruby and Hazel's performance and were now back at Marion's house. "How dare he!" Marion said in anger. She had been pacing back and forth since they had gotten back. "Okay, sweetie if you don't stop pacing you'll wear the floor out." Ruby said trying to calm her down. "I've fought by his side before what makes it so bloody different?" she almost yelled. A knock came at the door. "Who the hell could that be at this hour?" she yelled causing Hazel to fall off her chair. "I'll get it." She said standing up, "I'm going with you because you have NO etiquette whatsoever when it comes to answering doors." Ruby said following her. Hazel opened the door to find Djaq with a bag. "What are you doing here?" Ruby asked letting her in. "I couldn't stay. He made me so angry." Djaq explained, "I'm sorry to impose Marion."
"Oh no it's fine. My father is staying at the castle so it's just us" Marion said.
Hazel and Ruby looked at each other and smiled.
"GIRLS NIGHT!" they screamed in unison. Djaq and Marion just stood there a little frightened. "Go grab some pillows and blankets and Hazel and I will start a fire and try to find some snacks." Ruby said shooing Djaq and Marion up the stairs.
Hazel and Ruby headed into the kitchen and started searching for anything that could be snack food. They grabbed some fruit, bread, cheese, jam, and some cake they found. "I just remembered I have like two big bags of chips in my bag!" Hazel exclaimed. "Do you ever carry books in your bag?" Ruby asked, Hazel thought for a moment. "Not since we were ten." Hazel answered. Ruby laughed. After all the supplies were gathered, the girls sat by a fire with a kettle of water heating up inside. "These 'chips' are rather good." Marion said, "I know, right?" Hazel said. Djaq chuckled. The kettle started whistling and Ruby removed it quickly. A knock came at the door. "I'll get it." Marion sighed getting up. They heard the door open and slam close. Marion came running back into the room. "IT'S GUY!" she whispered panicked. "So?" Hazel said. Ruby smacked her upside her head. "You have got to stop doing that!" Hazel exclaimed. "Djaq is part of Robin's gang and a Saracen. If Guy sees her, all bets are off!" Ruby explained, "Let's not panic. Djaq can you fit in a cupboard?"
"Of course." Djaq said standing up. "Marion, go open the door and let Guy in." Ruby said. Marion straightened herself up and went back to open the door. "Hazel go help Djaq get into a cupboard." Ruby said, "Why me?" Hazel asked, "Because you called him an asshole this morning." She answered.
"Oh yeah." Hazel said before following Djaq to the kitchen. Ruby went to check on Marion. "Good evening Guy." She greeted with a fake smile and fake surprise. "Good evening Lady Ruby." He greeted back and bowed. "What brings us the pleasure of your company?" Ruby asked, "I was just tell Marion that tomorrow, we'll have finally caught Robin and his men." He said smugly. Ruby's stomach dropped. "I beg your pardon." She said hoping to God, Buddha, and any other religious figure that her voice didn't waver. "We found his camp." Guy answered, "Tomorrow at the break of dawn, we'll have him captured and brought to the castle."
"I guess congratulations is in order." Ruby said. "Just doing my job. I bid you both a goodnight." He said. He bowed and left. "We're fucked." Ruby said, "I never would've guessed." Marion replied sarcastically. "COAST IS CLEAR!" Ruby yelled. They heard pots and mumbled swears coming from the kitchen. "Aren't you going to help her?" Marion asked, "No." Ruby answered. A few moments later, Hazel and Djaq emerged from the kitchen. "You know, if Guy wasn't so evil I'd definitely say he was fine specimen of tall, dark, and sexy." Hazel said. "Elle est tres stupide." Ruby said, "Hey, don't talk to me in that language!" Hazel exclaimed. "Ladies, as much fun as it is to watch you both verbally attack we each other, we need to help Robin!" Marion said in frustration. It was silent for a moment before Hazel spoke up. "I have an idea!" she said with a sly smile.
