CHAPTER 16 - The Risk
SHERWOOD FOREST
Marian had accompanied Robin as they walked among the green trees of the forest, hand in hand with each other. She was starting to get accustomed to her new life, slowly warming Robin up to the fact that she could take on harder roles in the team. As they talked with each other, they were interrupted by the sounds of Gisborne and his men.
As a young boy went to point his arrow at Gisborne's back, Robin took hold of the bow, stopping him. "Lord of Locksley." Robin mumbled, giving a look back to the Knight that left.
Marian walked up, noticing the young boy struggling against Robin. "It's okay, we're here to help." Her eyes widened as did the boys, both recalling each other. "Daniel?"
"Lady Marian!" He exclaimed, instantly dropping his weapon as he ran to hug her.
Robin looked up in realization. "This is your stable boy from Knighton Hall."
"What happened?" Marian asked the young boy.
"Gisborne's got my friends. He's got my friends!"
Robin looked to the young boy. "We can help you with your friends. But first, I need you to tell me what you saw." There had to be a reason Gisborne chased them, something they shouldn't have seen.
"How can I trust you?" Daniel stated, looking to him with narrowed eyes.
"Daniel...this is Robin Hood." Marian explained, causing the boy to look up with a smile before he started to explain. "A man. They shot him, but he didn't die. The arrows bounced off and then Sir Guy killed him with a knife. And now he's going to kill my friends!" He choked out with panic.
"Whoa, whoa. The arrows bounced off what?" Robin asked.
"Armour. He was wearing armour. Funny armour."
Robin and Marian exchanged knowing looks with each other. "Let's see about your friend, shall we?"

OUTLAWS CAMP
Making their way back to the camp to round up the rest of the merry men, they spotted them talking among each other and eating before they interrupted. "Oi. We need to go. This is Daniel. His friends are in danger, and if I'm not much mistaken, so are we."
"What's up?" Allan asked.
"It's Gisborne. He's creating a new armour. We need to take his toys away, so arm yourselves."
The merry men began to scatter, putting down their plates of food as the little boy watched on, realizing who they all must be. "You're Little John." Daniel said, looking to the tall man who acknowledged him. "Will. Allan-A-Dale." Allan gave a small wave. "And you must be Djaq, the Saracen." She gave a warm smile. He's eyes landed to Much. "Wow. Sorry, who are you?"
"That's Much." Robin told him as the man came up to greet the boy.
"Oh yes, the servant!"
Everyone began to laugh as Much frowned. "Very funny."
"Daniel!" Marian scolded him for his rudeness.
Robin watched on with amusement as he looked among his group as if he were meeting his superheroes, which in fact, he was. Daniel often played Robin Hood with his friends in the forest and that was how they got caught.
