Please review.

*Brenda of Locksley*

Brenda's POV:

Come on a hunt... Wulf says. What could happen... Wulf says. Well currently we are being chased by Nottingham's men and there dogs.

They chase us through my old homelands.

Luckily Guy of Gisborne never met me and does not realize how valuable I am.

As we race up a tree I feel the locksley house crest bearing heavy against my chest. If they found out I would probably be killed on the spot.

We climb up a tree.

"Your dog meat kids!!" One of the men below us said. "You know that!!"

I grabbed my bow and aimed it at the dogs. "Call them off."

But they would not and I did not believe in hurting animals so I did nothing. Wulf behind me looks frightened. He did the hunting as I would not touch the animals even for food.

"Get down here!!" Another soldier says. "You know what I've done!!"

I begin to worry that if those dogs get us then they are going to rip us apart.

"Come down here!!" They continue to yell up to us.

I keep my bow raised in warning to the men. If they come near us I will shoot.

"You're not playing by the rules kids," Guy says as he approaches. "Deer don't climb trees."

I glare at him. I am pretty sure that he had a hand in saying that my father was a witch and that is why he was executed. I had found that out the one time I had gone near the town. People were talking about my father as if he was inferior.

"Perhaps they think they're a game bird," Guy continues and I want to say something that would make my father want to slap me around the head and ground me for a year. "Shall we teach them to fly."

All the men agree and I realize they are going to chop down the tree that was my favorite when I was a kid. I wanted to yell at them but I could not risk giving my identity away.

"Get them down!!" Guy says.

Just as they are about to begin cutting a voice halts them.

"Hold!!" The man says and I wonder why the voice is so familiar to me. "I'm curios as to what manner of creature is so fearsome that it takes six men to attack two."

I glance down at the man to see long dirty blonde hair. I can't see his face but I wonder what makes him so brave to try and stop guy and his cronies.

"Stranger, this is no affair of yours," Guy says as he turns to the man.

"Well, have we treed the devil himself?" The man says and I can hear humor in his voice as he glances up at us and I cannot stop staring as I know him from somewhere. "Let me see. A small boy and girl a truly dangerous pair of animals."

Guy is beginning to get annoyed.

"These children killed one of the Sheriff of Nottingham's deer," Guy informs the man.

"You starve us!!" Wulf says and I glance at him. "We needed the meat."

The man glances at us and then back at Guy.

"Look I advise you to move on pilgrim," he says clearly wanting to tell this man to get lost. "This is the sheriff's land."

The man shocks me by what he says next. "Wrong. This is my land and my tree. Therefore, whatever is in it also belongs to me."
