Chapter 6
Selena woke up from pain, her ribs and head hurt. She felt like she had been hit over the head with a bat. Her vision was blurred at first but when her vision cleared she saw that she was in a tent. She was afraid , she didn't know where she was but where ever she was she was not going to go through anymore pain. Selena heard footsteps come towards the tent. When the footsteps entered the tent Selena backed herself away not showing how much pain she was in. "It's ok , Im not going to harm you. You are safe, Im here to help you. What happened, your wounds seem bad and I can see that you are in pain." The person said. Selena noticed that he was telling the truth and also that another person also entered the room. She couldn't help herself and smile at the other person he was cute.
"W-who are you." she asked as she relaxed abit. "Im Robin, Robin Hood and this is my son Roland. What is your name?" He asked trying to break the ice. "Its nice to meet you Robin, and its nice to meet you Roland. Im Selena." She replied back with a smile. Roland smiled and moved out from behind his father. "Where did you come from?" Roland asked curiously "That's kind of a long story." she told him nervously. Robin moved closer to clean up her wounds and to check for anymore injuries. "I like stories!" Roland exclaimed as he moved closer to her. Selena smiled but it faded as soon as Robin cleaned up the scratch on her cheek. "Its not a pretty story." She said slowly as she looked down at her hands. Robin noticed that something might of happened to her and wanted to know but not with Roland there. "Roland, its time for bed. Can you go and ask little John to tuck you in." Rolands smile faded and he nodded and walked out to find little john. "Goodnight Roland, sweet dreams." Selena said to Roland before he left for bed.
"So tell me your long story." Robin said gently hoping Selena would tell him. He was still cleaning up the cut on her cheek. Selena was nervous about revealing her past. "It's ok you can trust me, it will be our secret." Selena looked up at him, he was telling the truth. She told him everything, wonderland, England and also how she wanted to find her real mother. She didn't tell him about hook and how he saved her from her grandmother, after all it was hooks and her secret. Robin was understanding he also felt sorry for her, she was young and she had been through so much. Robin knew that her mother was a sensitive topic so he approached it slowly and carefully. "Do you know who your mother is Selena?" Robin asked slowly.
He had finished cleaning her wound and also bandaged it for her. Selena nodded "I know her name, and my grandmother told me about her and how I was her weakness." Robin put a hand on her shoulder but Selena flinched. "You are safe, I wont let no one hurt you I promise. But erm who is your mother if I may ask?" Robin asked slowly. Selena looked at him tears forming in her eyes, she finally felt safe and had hope that things were going to get better. "Her name is R-Regina and she is a queen, but not by choice. She added as she fiddled with her fingers. Robins eyes went wide knowing that the evil queen was her mother. Selena could see that he knew who her mother was and she began to panic. "I-Im sorry , I know she has done bad things but im not like that and I don't blame her either." Selena said quickly as tears rolled down her face. With that she ran out of the tent and ran into the woods not caring about how much her body ached. Robin felt bad for her and he didn't mean for her to get upset, he knew what the queen had done but he didn't know her story. He ran after Selena , the merry men were gathered by the fire. " Little john, have you seen Selena." "Yes , she ran into the woods. She seemed pretty upset." Little john replied. Robin ran into the woods looking everywhere for Selena.
Selena was sitting behind a rock by the river. The water was glistening in the moonlight. Tears streamed down her face, she pulled her knees to her chest as she buried her head in her arms. All she wanted was her mother. She didn't care what her mother did in the past, she wouldn't blame her. Why did everyone hate her and not want her, she didn't mean no harm. She heard rustling coming from behind her, causing her to think that someone wanted to hurt her. All she wanted was to be alone. "I knew I would find you here." Robin said relieved that he found her. "Please, I don't mean any harm, I don't want you to hate me just because my mother is the queen." Robin felt crushed to think that she thought that he hated her. "No I'm sorry, I wasn't expecting you to say the queen was your mother and I don't hate you." Robin told her as he sat down next to her. Selena looked up wiping her tears away her eyes were red raw. "Y-You don't hate me? and how did you know where I was?" Selena asked. Robin gave her a small smile. "No I don't hate you, you are a sweet girl and I will help you find your mother. I knew where you were because I know the woods very well and Roland loves swimming in the river." Selena smiled at the thought of the cute little boy swimming. "You would really help me find my mum?" She asked her blue orbs glistening in the moonlight. Robin smiled and nodded "Of course I will." Selena smiled and hugged him, no one has ever helped her except Hook.
They both looked at the stars for a while. They were shining so bright, Robin noticed Selena dozing off. "I wonder if my father is watching over me." She said quietly as she yawned. Robin looked at her as she leaned her head on his shoulder, she had fallen asleep within minutes. "Of course he is." He whispered as he supported her. She was emotionally and physically drained, she hadn't felt safe for a long time til now. He slowly slipped a hand under her legs and the other behind her back and slowly carried her back to the camp. He laid her on her bed, and covered her so she wouldn't get cold "I promise, no one will ever hurt you again." He left the tent and went to sit by the fire. He thought to himself *How could someone so sweet and innocent get treated that way.* He combed his fingers through his hair and slowly dozed off.
