Sherwood Forest

Robin looked at her worried while they walked down a dirt path through the village. "Are you tired? I can take you back home before I go looking for him."

Ninian looks at him "oh I'm ok!" She smiles warmly.

Robin sighed. "Alright."

John walked off. "Don't worry I will look for him in this direction." He called out.

"Let's walk towards home..we can still look for him. But I want to make sure you are safe as well." Robin said.

Ninian crosses her arms "I can take care of my self you know.. You don't have to worry so much.." She yawns lightly.

Robin sighed. "It's a dangerous place out here for a lady especially with the Sheriff's men out and about."

Ninian giggles and blinks "who is sheriff is he bad to?" She looks at them both.

Robin nodded. "He works for Prince John and takes money away from the poor and even sometimes takes them away..."
They were almost to the cave with no sign of Will.

Ninian blinks surprised "what do you mean by take them away?"

"Sometimes he just throws people in the dungeo just because he wants to. It's like he enjoys tormenting people..." Robin sighed miserably.

Ninian blinks "that's horrible.." She looks at the ground sadly.

"Yeah I am sorry that you had to move in to a bad place...One day King Richard will be back and hopefully everything will be alright." Robin said as they reached the cave.

Ninian sighs and follows him. She looks around "I'm feeling very tired now.."

"It's alright we are here now, there is an extra cot for you to sleep on if you like," he said pointing to a bed far away from all the others so she didn't have to be near all the other men.

Will was running through the forest trying to get his anger out through working out his muscles. He then stopped abruptly to see a woman in the distance with a hooded cloack covering her face.

Ninian bows "thank you.." She walks over and lays down.

"i am sorry for today." Robin said tucking her in. "And don't ever think Will is angry at you. He just always ends up blaming himself for his sister's loss..." Robin then walked away.

Will walked over to the woman. Was it Marian? Will smiled. "Marian is that you?" He ran towards her but stopped quickly when he realized the hair and the red eyes. It was Anastasia. All he felt was a quick stab of a knife to his chest and he collapsed to the ground unconciouss.

Ninian looks at him and nods "I hope you find him. " she yawns and closes her eyes. She felt so calm here.

"I suppose so."

A few minutes later John walked in. "I couldn't find him. Maybe you will have better luck Robin i will sit here and watch the lady."

Robin nodded and went off to search for Will.

Ninian curls up under the blanket and falls asleep.

Robin went past a path that was foggy and saw a figure on the ground. His heart stopped. "Will!!!" He roared.
He ran to him and saw that his friend was drenched in blood with a knife in his stomach but he was still alive he ran back to the cave and to John.
"No no no no!" Robin roared. "He's dying!"

Ninian sits up quickly as robin runs in. She jumps out of bed "put him in the moonlight I think I can help.. I learned this from one of my sisters.."

John looked at her confused. "Are you speaking of witchcraft?"
Robin shook his head. "I'm sorry m'lady I don't believe in that stuff." Robin said tears sliding down his face.
Will was still unconciouss. Everyone was too afraid to take the knife out of his stomach. It was his own blade too that he was dying by and Robin noticed it.
"Who would do this to him?"

Ninian looks at him and shakes her head "no it's not like that please let me try it has something to do with the moon light when I do a special dance.."

John shrugged. "Robin let her do it. We don't have many choices here..."
Robin only wiped his tears away nodded and picked up Will and carried him out into the moonlight.

Ninian takes out the knife and begins to dance. She sings a small song as she dances. The moonlight begins to glow around will.

John and Robin both looked at her and Will in shock.
"How in the world.." John said.
Robin pulled the knife out of Will as his wound healed.
