My name is Vania Hood. I am Robin Hood's daughter. I was taught to be brave and fearless.

I sat in a willow tree. Hoping. Hoping, for an adventure. Just then, fait called. A rich man rode in a carriage counting his gold. My chance. I hid my bow and arrows in the tree. I slipped my hood up on my head. I walked out in front of the horse.

"What do you want!" The horse man yelled. The rich man looked out the window.

"Why do we stop!" The rich man yelled.

"A stupid rouge girl is blocking our way!"

"Then chase her off!"

"Scram forest rat! Nobody needs your foulness!" The horse man ordered.

"Oh I beg of please! My mother is ill! I need money! At least enough for a loaf of bread!" I begged.

"Never! I won't toss my money away to a filthy child! Now move! Or be moved!" The rich man threatened.

I didn't move.

"NOW!" He yelled again. Never will I ever back down from helping the poor.

"Please for a mere amount not much please!" I cried.

"Never! Now be gone!" The rich man growled. He turned back to his gold. I moved away. The horse moved on. I quickly took my bow and raced after the chariot. I knocked an arrow. SWOOSH! It shot off the screen and broke right through the wall of the chariot. I jumped to a tree and began to shoot at them. I nicked the horse's ear. It whinnied in protest. I quickly shot the rope off the horse. It went loose I shot at the panicking rich man.

"I will never back down for I am a Hood!" I screamed. I shot another arrow. The rich man's skull was pierced by my arrow. I laughed in triumph. I saw the horse man run off. Oh well. I looted the man's goods and carried them off to my home.

"Papa! I bring gold for the poor!" I announce as I walked in. My mother has been dead for a long while. A note was on the wall.

"ROBIN HOOD: CRIMINAL: PUNISHMENT OF DEATH: FOUND JUNE 19th IN WOODS AT HOME ALONE" papa. Was going t-to die? Something clicked in me. I'm keeping this gold, I want the gold, I want all of the gold, I wanted the greatest treasure of all. A fairy.
