Chapter 10
~ 3 weeks later
I stand with my two wooded practice swords in hand. I spin them around in my hand. I watch as Robin, slowly walks in a circle. Myself doing the same. He charges at me, his sword point exactly where it should be. Pointed right at my chest. I draw my sword to meet his, turning to the left as I do. I shift my weight on my hands to the sword which is free. Using my momentum I swing my sword around and try to make contact with him. He ducks, swinging his sword at me feet. I jump, again using a sword to block his blow. I land with my knees bent, looking at him. He jumps to his feet, moving his blade at my thigh. Although is as almost been 4 weeks since the injury it is still quite sensitive to touch. I lean to the side, using my sword to block his, while using it to aid in my balance. I attempt to side kick my brother. Robin, seeing this before it happens, catches my foot, throws me to the ground, and points the sword tip at my throat.
"I win again." He laughs.
"Sure." I sarcastically say.
"Watch her leg Robin." Says Allen, watching a little ways away.
"Heard ya."
I help myself up, brushing off the leaves that have collected in my hair. I stand next to Allen, watching Little John and Much clean up the wooden war toys.
"Great to have you back." Allen whispers into my ear.
"Ya. Now you have someone who can deal with your terrible jokes."
We walk back to camp. Only to find smoke coming from Locksley village.
"Robin!" I shout.
"Grab your things and lets go!" Shouts Robin, commanding us to grab our weapons.
We charge into camp, grabbing what we need. I throw my cloak on, pulling the hood over. We race towards the smoke. Each of us spilt, me and Allen going our ways. We lie flat on pile of hay.
"Tell me where Robin hood is!?" Yells Guy, holding a light torch.
Screams are hear everywhere. People shouting trying to save what they can.
"Burn this village to the ground!" Yells Guy.
Everything is chaos. The gang make it back together.
"We cant let them burn down everyone home!" Shouts Little John.
We agree on to face Guy head on.
We draw our sword, each walking side by side.
"GUY!" I shout.
He turn his horse around. His eyes seem surprised but he seems to hide it well..
"Well well, taken you long enough." He charger at Robin, forcing us to spilt.
I jump to the side watching as Robin jumps also. Guy turns around and races towards him again. I dont have enough time to watch because a guard starts dragging me across the battle field. I mange to twist to my side and kick him back of his knee. As he fall I roll back onto my feet, smashing his face into the ground once I'm up. I look around, it seems that everyone is taking care of themselves but...
Allen and Robin. Allen is getting surrounded by more and more guards as more come. Robin is holding off Guy but more guards are forcing him to always be on the defense. Each of them need my help, but I only have time to save one. Who do I help?
The last of my family?
Or the the chances of my normal life?
I start running, hoping I made the right choice.
"God help us." I pray
