An Orphan Worth Fighting For

The Masquerade Ball

  "So what are we looking for? Robin as we all know never tells me what it is." I said.

  "Not something, Natasha someone. And all Robin told us is to look out for someone wearing all black. I think he said to look for a woman wearing a black dress." Will said.

After a minute, we all split up to try finding the person. I didn't know what was so important about the person but there was no time to ask so many questions. It was hard for me to find this person since I am shorter than I should be for many reasons. As I got to the edge of the crowd, someone puts their hand on my left shoulder with a tight grip. I knew exactly who it was and he turns me around to face him.

  "I almost didn't recognize you in that dress. Now what is a young outlaw like you doing at a masquerade ball uninvited?" Guy asked with a sly smile.

  "Aww and I was hoping I would go unnoticed by you Gisborne. I thought you had other people to torture in the dungeon." I said in a mocking voice as I took my mask off with a smile.

  "Oh what'll the sheriff say about this. Who are you with? You must have come with at least one person from Robin Hood's group. Or did Robin come himself?" Guy said.

  "I could tell you, but you'll have to catch me first!" I said and ran as fast as I could without much hesitation.

  It took a second for Guy to start running after me. I was beyond surprised that I could still run as fast as I could in a dress as I could in a shirt and pants on. I kept on getting faster and before I knew it, I didn't have Guy on my tail. I looked around and saw a couple dressed all black. Could Robin have meant a couple wearing black? They noticed that I was looking they're way and came up to me.

  "Are you lost?" the man asked.

  I shook my head not knowing what to say.

  "Of course she's not lost look at what she's wearing, any young lady with a fair amount of pounds would be wearing a better dress, she's part of Robin Hood's gang. Who are you specifically with child?" I was surprised she even figured that out.

  "I'm with Djack and Will. They are both in his gang as well." I answered.

  They looked at me rather confused. I didn't bother to try to explain what and why I'm here for since I didn't know if they were friends with Robin or not. Just as one of them were about to speak, Will walks up beside me and started talking to them. I started to become curious where Djack might be and went back into the ball room to find her. I also need to keep a close eye out for Gisborne so that I didn't get caught again.

  When I finally found her, I explained to her that Will and I may have possibly found the people we were looking for. I lead her to the hallway to where Will was talking to the couple. While they both were talking to the couple, I kept a close watch to make sure that Guy didn't show up unexpectedly. I waited for them nervously hoping that Guy didn't show up all of a sudden.

  "Rae let's go we need to get back to the camp." Djack called out for me.

  "Well since we are leaving, we need to make it quick, Guy is on the hunt for us." I pointed out.

  "You got to be joking." Will said not happy about what came out of my mouth.

  "Well you started talking to those two before I had the chance to and when I went to get Djack, I couldn't really tell her since it was a bit loud for her to hear me. So we need to get out quickly." I said and we all left.
