I am slowly gonna write this please review.

*Brenda of Locksley*

Brenda's POV:

I feel myself become tired and weak as daylight shines through Sherwood forest.

Ebony suddenly stops after a few minutes and I wonder why but then I hear a voice.

"Hey Lass!!" A mans voice says and I look up to see a butch man with long hair and a beard there. "What you doing out here?"

I go to speak but another man comes out and grabs my horse.

"Thanks for your gratitude my lady," he laughs and I see that he has brown hair and his eyes are slightly familiar. "We will be keeping your horse."

I use the last of my strength to kick him in the face.

Then I jump off of Ebony and grab my bow and Arrow.

I point them at the men. The clear leader of the group laughs.

"We won't hit a girl lass," he says but he glances at my choice of weapon. "But I must ask where you got that weapon!!"

I sigh and lower it. "My father gave it to me."

He notices my small form and my tired and weak look. What I realize later is that as a father himself he would not let a child of such a young age go anywhere looking like I do.

"Come with us child," he says to the shock of his men. "We will take care of you. We are outlaws."

I thought about it for a minute and realized so am I now. I nod but before anything else can happen the dizziness takes over me and I pass out.

*Brenda of Locksley*

I feel myself begin to wake up. What shocks me is that how warm it is. I sit up slowly and see that I am laid by a warm fire.

"Ah your awake," the man from before says when he sees my eyes open. "Here drink this!!"

He passes me a drink which is water so I gulp it down.

"Thank you," I say to him.

He nods before helping me to sit up.

"Can I ask what your name is?" He asks me.

"Brenda," I say to him. "Brenda of Locksley."

His eyes go wide. "What are you doing out here? God child you should be with your father."

I shake my head as I remember what happened. "My fathers dead!! And if I go back to the castle I will soon join him."

He begs me to tell him the full story. I do from the old man entering my fathers office to the point where I met him. He shakes his head at the end.

"The sheriff of Nottingham is getting lower," he says to me gently. "Well if you want you can stay with us. We do have to steal but it is to help a lot of people."

I nod at him. "Thanks."

He gets up and pulls me to my feet.

"I will get my son Wolf to show you around," he says. "Hes 12 years old but the closest one here to your age."

"It will be fine," I say to him. "One question: What is your name?"

He smirks. "John little."

I nod and shake his hand. He leads me outside where his son Wolf is waiting.

"Hi," he says greeting me as if we have been friends for years. "I'm Wulf!!"

"Brenda," I return the greeting.

He shows me the woods and then the pond.

He then takes me to meet the other men.

"Hey guys," he says to them and they all turn to look at the two of us. "Just want to introduce you to someone."

"Hello," I say shyly. "I'm Brenda of Locksley."

One of them suddenly looks up in shock. I notice him as the one who threatened to take Ebony.

"This is Bull, Will, Much, Trey," he listed everyone else but I forgot there names.

Will is the one who continues to stare at me.

*Brenda of Locksley*

Over the next month I become really close to the men of Sherwood forest. Wulf had told me about all the siblings he had and I was shocked.

And his mother was pregnant again.

Like every day since I arrived here I head to the stream to get some water. I take some in my hand and splash it over my face before getting a drink.

I hear a twig snap behind me. I quickly reach for my bow and point it at the area where the noise is.

"Who's there?" I demand.

"Just me," a voice says and I turn to see Will. "Sorry I made you jump."

I smile at him slightly. "Its okay."

He comes over and sits down beside me. "I need to talk to you."

I sigh wondering what he could want to talk to me about. "What about?"

He does not look at me when he answers. "Our father."

I glare at him not realizing what he said at first. "If you are here to tell me that the rumors are true you can go- Wait!! What did you say?"

He speaks again. "Our father."

I get to my feet. "What do you mean our father? The only son MY father had was Robin."

Will gets up as well and raises his hands in mock surrender. "Look, do you remember your father or Robin telling you about another woman besides your mother and his own?"

I remembered how Robins mum had died and mine had abandoned me with my father. Thats why Robin and I did not get a long.

He also said how my mother was like the other whore that father went out with. Except my mother married him for a short time.

"Yeah," I say trying to calm down.

"She was my mother," he said.

I am silent as I contemplate this. If this is true than father never knew he had another son. If he did he probably would have took him in.

"So you're my brother?" I ask and when he nods. "How come we never knew about you?"

"Because when our so called brother came between them my mother did not want to make things worse by bringing me the Bastard child into it," he says clearly angry at Robin.

"Well," I say knowing father would have took him in in a heartbeat. "That would not have bothered father. He would have had you in a second!!"

He perks up at this. "Really?"

I nod and smile.

For a few more minutes we talk and then we walk back to camp.

I still cannot believe that I have another brother.
