The flap on the door open and Elizabeth in temporarily blinded with light due to trying to see where she is or who is there. It's not corner man this time but a young girl with boyish hair she was holding a bowl and a sharp dagger that had a menacing tip and looking at it made Elizabeth's blood run cold. The girl walked over to her and knelt just out of her restrained reach. The girl held the knife up close to her head and she started to wiggle to hit the girl away but the girl just sat on Elizabeth and held her down as she checked out her head wound. The girl cleaned her wound then said
"If I move to next you will you still try to hit me?"
Elizabeth thought about it the girl had started to get heavy and she could have already killed her. Hitting this girl it would do nothing but more than likely get corner man in here. Elizabeth slowly shook her head and the girl looked like she didn't believe her but still got up and sat a few feet away with her dagger in her lap. After awhile Elizabeth asked
" What do you and the man from the corner want?"
"Well my name is Will and the man from the corner is Robin and before you ask no we are not alone. In this camp we have more than forty so there will be no escaping . Robin wants to ransom you for money and judging from your wepons here your more than just a farmer's daughter. So the question I ask is who are you?" Will answered in a even matter a factly tone.
Hearing Will's answer made Elizabeth realize that these people were going to sell her to her father or her betrothed ,also she couldn't take out forty while untied let alone tied up. The despair filling her was so great that she started the weep. The Will silently got up and left leaving her to weep alone in the tent.
