Lucky Gorge came to Locksley today and as always, his return brings trouble for many. Father has been avoiding me of late. Somehow he now finds it impossible to be around me. We went to the castle today as Gisbourne, had summoned us. He said it was on the ground of business, but sure enough he was waiting at the castle steps when the carriage pulled up. He bore gifts as usual. Today it was a sliver necklace with a Celtic design, truly impressive and beautiful, but it bares his mark, not the one of the man I love. After his presentation, Guy gave a small word, which I happened to over hear. Today a cart will be taken to the castle, a cart of pure silver coins. This afternoon, I went for a ride in the forest, only to be interrupted by a certain outlaw. He jumped out of the bushed, causing my horse to rear up and throw me, a soft throw, so I was not hurt. That is the way he intended it. The child within him will never be tamed.
He wore that cheeky grin as I calmed my horse and we exchanged friendly insults, before he spied my necklace. I had forgotten I still had it on, after I changed dress earlier. He more accused, rather than asked, if Guy had given it to me. Robin now treats me with caution, as he suspects me of harbouring feelings for Gisbourne. I thought he knew my heart belonged to him. After returning the necklace to Robin, I retuned home and recovered my Nightwatch-man costume from the stables. I dressed quickly and was making my departure when I heard my Fathers distress.
I ran out with my weapons, ready to face any obstacle and found three men, hassling my father. I fought each and every one of them with fierce determination and I could feel my father's eyes on me like a sun, shining and proud. Robin intercepted after I had them on the ground and I told him of the silver, though he seemed more interested in my supposed feelings for Guy! I have left father to rest while I write to you. I sit by the fire and watch him sleep. Soon I shall be in the same land as him. Sleep awaits me.
Ugh. It's about 4am over here (so don't blame me if this is horrible spelling and content, or am I an awesome 4am writer? Thoughts?) And I have just woken up for the second time. Plus I have a bad cold/cough. I cannot sleep. I must commit to writing because I hope to publish some sort of attempt at a novel eventually. I have started writing my own book, so for now I shall take a short break from writing these (or at least try to, this is my guilty pleasure!)Love to all my readers and even more love to my reviewers.
