After everything  was settled  with Marion and Elizabeth and the pregnant woman  Isabella  I decided  to do some training  of the youngsters. They have alot of promise and are sponges soaking up information.  I wish once more for pappa and mamma to be here with me to see what I did with our secret hideout.  I still remember  when I got into minor disagreements with mamma about  Pappas training  me to fight I would come here and spend a few days until pappa would come cheer me up and bring me home.

I always  kept the garden tended and our meat stores here stocked for such days. What I love most about this place is my hidden sanctuary. It's a pond with a waterfall beautiful flowers all around and at night in the summer fire flies that dance around without  care. It is a peaceful place  I remember  sitting  here for hours after pappa and mamma  died and crying  till my hearts content. 

Once training was done I grabbed some food and decided to call it a night. Once in bed my thoughts bring me to the handsome strangers face. I wonder who he is and why prince John is after him and his friends. Sleep found me with the handsome strangers face following me in my dreams.

The next morning came to quickly  with suprizes for all. Our mystery guests joined us for breakfast.  The men look haggard  due to their injuries  but they are acting like yesterday did not happen and they were not injured.  My heart was pounding and skipping a beat with the sight of the stranger who helped me take down that talented fighter. I want to talk to him but I know he must have some one waiting for him at home.

I can't risk my heart going through  a heartbreak since I am only freshly recovered from my parents death. A heartbreak like that would ruin my focus on  the people who need me most.  It will take three to six weeks for them to heal. Also according  to Marion  the woman Isabella the baby could come while they are recovering from their injuries. I can keep busy enough  to hide while they are here. I can avoid  him and avoid  my heart breaking to a non recovable mess.
