Chapter11 – Robin's men
Thenext morning Lily woke up woken by the sound of horses. Alan wasimmediately by her side and pressed a finger against her lips. Sheheard no words of any of the men and knew why didn't want theirsecret place to be known. Whoever was searching the forest would harmthem which Lily didn't want them to. She still had not forgiven Robinbut at least the rest of the little group had been nothing but niceand friendly to her.
Whenthe horses had passed Alan smiled happily and helped her to stand up."Nothing to be scared of. We have breakfast now and then you tellus where to take you. Is anywhere a husband waiting for you?"
Lilyquickly shook her head and saw Alan's smile grew larger. "Good. Anda father, a mother, anyone?"
Sheshook her head once more but slowlier this time and her view fadedfrom him. Everyone she thought she could trust was Sir Guy ofGisborne but neither could she mention him to the outlaws nor say anyother word.
Shewanted to go and see if she could help Much to cook something forbreakfast but Alan took her hand and stopped her. He walked the laststeps towards her and looked into her eyes. "You have no voice,right? This is why you don't talk"
Theservant girl quickly nodded and her tears came back. "Oh pleasedon't cry. We find a way. I... I will learn to understand you and...you have friends now, like me and John, and Much and me"
Hertears dried when he tried to make her laugh. He wasn't her hero buthe was at least trying to understand her. Lily nodded and held hishand tighter before he brought her back to the rest of the Sherwoodgang.
"Shestill doesn't look well"
"Whatdid you say John?" Robin looked from the tallest man to Lily andstarted laughing. It looked to her like everything about her seemedto amuse him. It felt like a knife stapped into her chest and shedecided to rather stay at Alan's side than go anywhere near Robin.
"Ithink she likes you Alan. The next ring we take from the sheriff andhis man we keep for your wedding and I shall be your priest"Robin's laughter filled the air around them and didn't let Lilybreathe.
