  While Robin and everyone else has gone out for another raid or whatever the heck they are doing, I decide to walk around since it may take a while for everyone to get back. As I'm walking further from the camp, I can hear the birds chirping. I thought I was completely alone until I heard a branch snap which startled me. I stop to look around but see nobody around.

  "You know the forest isn't a place for a prodical child like yourself." I turn around to see Guy.

  "So first I'm 'The Prodical Child' now I'm a prodical child. Do you ever know when to make up your mind Guy?" I respond.

  "Don't sass me kid." Guy snaps.

  "Telling me not to be sassy is like telling me to stop breathing." I say with a smile.

  "Is that a choice?" Guy asks

  "Sadly for you not a chance." I say quickly with a smile. Guy starts coming to me to grab me, but before he has the chance to I throw a knife to his arm.

  "You little brat!" He yells.

  "Yes thank you for stating the obvious, Guy. I'm pretty sure people from other countries know this by now because you and the sheriff are always calling me that. Being called a brat is nothing new or offensive" I say.

  "Nothing has changed about you."

  "Except that I'm not with the same group our friends and that I'm no longer in Nottingham."

  "Which is worrying."

  "To you and the sheriff. To me it's more of an advantage."

  "Also can be a disadvantage."

  "Depending on the situation and who your with and where your at." Guy looks at me with anger as I render him speechless. Before he says anything I grab my knife from his arm and I leave.

  "I will get you and Robin if it's the last thing I do!" Guy yells.

  "I highly doubt it Guy!" I say as I continue walking. Not even a few seconds later Guy runs after me. Without even thinking twice or looking back, I run. As I'm running I quickly climb up a tree.

  "You can't stay up there forever you know that!" Guy says.

  "Oh yeah, watch me." I snap.

  "You know trying to bring a child to Nottingham just to kill one is child abuse." We hear Robin say. Things are now getting interesting.
