"Raf are you sure that your alright?" Gabe asked for what was perhaps the 20th time.

"Yes Gabe I'm fine." Raf huffed out in annoyance. Raf was riding on her horse, a beautiful red brown mare. Since girls were apparently delicate and shouldn't ride horses for anything other than grand appearances Gabe kept asking if she was okay in order for her to get back to the carriage that was used for such occasions.

"Alright but just tell me and we'll get you right off that creature."

"Her name is Cox."

"Yes whatever you say." If Raf didn't have her aunt to worry about she probably would've kicked Gabe right off his saddle. She sighed, it had only been a day but she wanted to see Sulfus again so badly. She didn't understand how a boy, an outlaw, could make her feel this way but, she just couldn't help herself. Sulfus was brave and handsome and kind. And he made her laugh. Something she hadn't done much of since her parents left her at the castle. She wondered when he would come see her.

"Raf you should know that their have been bandits attacking nobles on this road, but don't worry, I'll protect you."

"Sure, Gabe, sure." Raf mumbled. He smiled before he turned to the road once more. All of a sudden he stopped. Raf stopped alongside him and looked at the large group of men and women that were blocking the road. They all looked dirty and hungry. They didn't even have proper clothes. Everything was ripped and stained. She thought that she might cry.

"What are you peasants doing? Get out of the way!" Gabe said peasants as if it was garbage in his mouth. She glared at him and was about to say something before a man stepped forward and started talking.

"We are here to get our money back from you and that disgusting queen of yours. Now hand it over before you get hurt."

"Ha as if I would ever listen to the likes of you, besides the money is in the locked carrige and I'm the only one who knows where the key is." Gabe had such a haughty look on his face that Raf couldn't help herself. She was about a step behind Gabe and since he was still fixated on the mob he wasn't paying her any mind. She looked straight towards the man who had spoken. When his eyes made contact with hers she pointed to her neck and mouthed chain. She then pointed to his neck and mouthed chain again. The man smiled at her and turned back towards Gabe. It was then that Raf noticed the rest of the villagers smiling at her as well. Smiles that she happily returned.

"Why are you all smiling?!" Gabe broke the peace with an incredulous shout. Raf had to stifle a laugh and looked at all of the villagers again pointing at him and mouthing idiot. Now all the villagers were trying to contain their laughter. The man in front of Gabe pulled himself together. Before Gabe could even reach for his sword the man grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him off the horse and into the ground. Ripping his collar and the chain around his neck at the same time. Raf smiled as the man unlocked the carriage and distributed the money for people to carry. While they did this two man picked Gabe up and held him so that he couldn't escape. When this was over the man started to talk.

"Okay everyone we are going to carry the money and these two back to the hideout. Men blindfold him." The men did as they were told and a second later Gabe was blindfolded. The man in charge went up to her next.

"Your highness we are all loyal to your mother and father but since you are living with the queen we do need to be cautious."

"Oh no its fine I completely understand. And thank you for holding my parents in such high regard." She took the blindfold that he offered her and tied it around her eyes. He checked quickly to make sure that it was secure and that she couldn't see anything. When that was done he lead her horse through a series of turns. She was so confused that she didn't think she could find this place even if she could see. Soon enough they came to a stop.

"We're here your highness you can take the blindfold off now."

"Oh thank you. And please call me Raf." The man looked shocked but smiled none the less.

"Come now the boss wants to see you."

"Who is your boss?"

"The hooded devil of course." Happiness flooded her entire being.

"Sulfus! Sulfus wants to see me! He kept his promise!" She said joyfully. The man just smiled at her warmly with amusement twinkling in his eyes.

They soon saw Sulfus and many of the peasants looming above Gabe, who was glaring at them.

"Well look at what we have here boys and girls. The queens lapdog." Everyone around me laughed while the idiot just glared at me.

"I demand that you release me and the princess at once and return the queens money!" He said that as though he expected us to do it simply because he ordered us. I was shocked for a second, then when I got over it I tried not to die of laughter. The villagers had the same reactions.

"Are you serious? Wow you really are as stupid as you look! The queens money that's a laugh!" After I got over my Laughing fit I fixed him with a cool and deadly glare.

"Listen buddy that money rightfully belongs to these people and you aren't going to take any more of it. You should be grateful to the princess. If she wasn't with we would have handled you capture more roughly." I put emphasis on the word roughly so he could understand how serious I was. Apparently he understood since he looked like he was about to wet himself.

"Sir!" I heard one of my men call out to me, when I turned to face him and saw Raf. Looking as beautiful as when I first met her. Her eyes locked with mine and we were both smiling so hard I thought our faces would split. I noticed a blush on her cheeks. That had to mean that she was happy to see me. That thought just made me smile harder. I walked up to her and took a bow. And kissed her hand.

"Welcome to Sherwood Forest my lady."
