When Micheal pulled the box from the cabinet I stood and walked over to him.
He handed it to me and I brushed the dust off the top and opened it.
I saw that the contents were still there and untouched.
I closed the lid and turned to the couple who once again were seated on the couch.
"Thank you." I told them with a nod.
"Of course. But what's in it? If you don't mind me asking." Mia asked.
"Do you guys remember when I started being Robin Hood?" I asked them while walking towards the door.
Both people nodded and I continued talking. "In this box is the key to where I hid my bow and..." I stopped and took a breathe. "... and the letters I wrote but never sent."
Mia slowly nodded and Micheal asked me a question I was hoping wouldn't be asked.
"Why do you need those now?"
"Because I need a way to get into the castle... without getting caught." I told them.
I then walked out of the building and headed to the last place I needed to go before going to the castle.
Before I reached the abandoned building I pulled a flyer off of a pole.
"The Royal Archery Contest.
Come to the castle and give the royals a show.
Whoever wins shall be accepted to live in the castle and have their choice of job."
I read from the paper. I smirked to myself and continued walking til I reached the small building where my bow and arrows hid.
I slowly climbed through the holes in the walls being careful not to drop the box I still held.
I finally reached the door I was looking for and pulled the key from the box.
I slowly opened the door and looked at the suit that laid in front of me.
"Better late then never." I told myself as I walked towards the suit and setting the box on the table next to my bow.

I slowly walked up to the castle and waited in the line of people who wanted to be apart of the contest.
I waited patiently and watched--to the best of my ability--the people who were shooting the bows.
Some of them had potential but most completely missed the target.
After around an hour of watching and walking I finally reached the beginning of the line.
The person in front of me hit the middle of the target and was sent to the area the other contestants were being held.
I carefully aimed my arrow and let it fly. It split through the other arrow and I was welcomed to the contestant area by people who's eyes were wide with shock.
I only laughed quietly to myself and pulled up the mask that covered my face.
Not that long after I entered all the contestants were taken to a large arena where we all stood and looked around.
I looked exactly at the royals and saw Noah standing behind his parents who sat in their thrones.
The announcer stood up on the stage and started asking each of our names.
When he got to me I knew I couldn't give my actual name so I gave him the first one that came to mind.
"And what is your name ma'am?" The announcer asked as he stood in front of me with the microphone in his hand.
"Hannah Leigh."
