Scarlet

Rob

chapter 10

I gaze at Scarlet. she's so beautiful.....especially in battle. That hard, determined look she gets, as she throws a knife with such accuracy and force, the occasional red ribbon ripping through the air like a separate knife or stream of blood.....oh God, what is she doing to me?

I've never gotten like this over a girl. those silvery eyes, dark hair, scar on her left cheekbone, that smirk she gets...if only she felt the same way. I know she doesn't though, why would she? I'm just a nobody. she's a beautiful, strong, brave, fierce, tough, warrior girl.

I hope John isn't moving on to her. He's a player, a fuck boy and she deserves much better than that. Not that I deserve her either. She deserves someone who can give her the world, not some war veteran who's an outlaw.

she's like a sister...Yeah. a sister. Sure. a sister. then why do I feel like this? I'm hopeless. I just she not realize how I feel unless she feels the same. she's not like a sister, and is not just a girl. she's the most amazing girl I have ever seen and met. as I think this over, I realize one thing.

I'm completely hopeless. she's turning into my whole heart, and is taking over me. I dream of her, think about her. when I saw how scared she seemed about hearing about Gisbourne coming to town, my heart broke and I swore to myself that i would protect her. I've learned that she's so fearless that when she is even slightly scared, or flinched, that that means that she's terrified and to take her seriously. no one else seems to have figured that out...I'm glad because it means I'm the only one. I sigh to my self, as I realize how hopeless I am. as John would say, I'm whipped. as I dream of her, I hear a scream.

I bolt up and run in the direction of the scream, loading my bow as I run. as I get closer, I realize that the band is in danger. I climb up a tree and look.

What I see makes my heart stop.

(I really wanted to end it here. but I obviously didn't. Yeah, your welcome.)

I see Scarlet with a knife blade pressed to her throat, the band knocked out. She Looks ready to kill someone. She's trying to get to a knife with out anyone noticing, but they notice and tie her hands to the tree she's pressed against.

I hear a malicious laugh, and see blood dripping down her face. angry, I fire an arrow directly into her attackers back. he was dead in a instant. I swing down from my tree, and run to her, trying to remain calm.

I wipe the blood off her face, and ask her

"is your face alright? did he hurt you? who was he?" hoping I sound calm.

She just nods, and quietly says "yes, i am ok. he gave me a new cut, and no, I don't know who he was. how do did you get here?"

"I heard you scream."

"and you came running?"

I just nodded, afraid that if I said anything, it would be along the lines of OF course, because I love you.

that wouldn't exactly have worked. would've been embarrassing too. with my luck, John would have woken up right as I said it. I sighed inwardly. she's even more beautiful with blood on her. it makes her look fiercer. I promise my self that I will confess my feelings before the year is out. it's already mid October. I have around two months. I will do it. I swear it.

AN I finally updated! nice and long...right? thanks for waiting so long, sorry about the wait.
