Robin hood

4

*cyclone *

I woke up to see robin hood's bed was empty . I've been hanging around him for a few weeks to keep an eye on him .i stretched and went to the nearby river where he was in the water up to his waiste , in order to preserve privacy i covered my eyes and turned away until I heard him call out to me .

Mogi : i can't even get washed up without you following me. I'm flattered you have the decency to cover your eyes .if it's any consolation I'm dressed now .i tapped his shoulder turning him around and walked past him to get the rest of my usual clothes .the green cloak had a hole where the arrow pierced through. My hands instinctively covered the place where the arrow had been .i was left with a scar mocking me of my only misfired arrow but a memory of meeting a new friend.

Cyclone:  i was wondering,  maybe I could sneak some gold out of the royal treasury.

Mogi : he doesn't even let you have anything.

Cyclone:  only when I lie and say I'm visiting a girl . When you showed me the people in your village i felt terrible so what do you say ?

Mogi : god you're stupid but , hell i don't have anything to lose and you can't lose .

Cyclone:  i want you to shoot the saddle with your bow to make it seem as if you tried to kill me .

Mogi : and if they some after me ?

Cyclone:  i will jump into the knoose on the gallow tree .

Mogi : ready ?

Cyclone:  I'm trusting you,  don't miss .

Mogi : okay .i pulled back the bow string and aimed the arrow at the seam of the saddle just behind cyclone. The arrow flew straight and embedded itself into the leather seat .cyclone started riding off down the ride and i climbed high into a tree .

.....

King : you've returned.

Prine ben : i was sidetracked on my little holiday .

Soldier : your majesty look at this .

Prince ben : is that -

King : my god you were almost killed by robin hood a few notches up and you'd be dead .

Prine Ben:  what now ?  I started to twirl the arrow between my fingers until my father took it and snapped it into two .

King : the new sheriff will place the new bounty posters in every town we rule and on every tree in the kingdom.

*prince Ben*

I followed the plan and exactly after my father went to his bedroom,  i went to the treasury and saw robin hood sitting on a pile of gold coins .

Mogi : i guess i can trust you with my name but it will have to wait for later .we've got business to tend to .sliding down the small mountain of coins i landed at cyclone's feet with a graceful bow .let's get to work. After two hours of filling small grain bags with money i could hear faint footsteps of guards outside the doors .gold or ben , gold or ben .i let go of everything I had in my hands and grabbed cyclone by his shirt and jumped out the window with him . both of us landing hard on the ground but steering clear of the guards.

Cyclone : why did you do that ? I can't get into trouble anyway I'm the only heir .

Mogi : no you're not .  the king can pick a successor if he deems his son unworthy so I have to make sure you don't get caught or we both die ...
