Rosetta was on foot. She carried nothing except her long sword and her bow. She kept looking behind her to see if anyone was following her. I can't believe it. Prince John of all people want to marry me. she thought. She quickened her pace then brok out into a run. Her heart was beating fast with fear. She kept her eyes in front of her. Please oh great Goddess don't let me die here. she thought again. She stopped at an old looking tree. It look stable enough to climb. She did so and stayed on the mos secure branches. She heard voices. They were laughing. "Well I wonder if the Lady has decided to go ahead with the wedding." one said. The Prince's Royal Gaurd. This didn't look good. She needed hope. But was it possible. No. "She has to be around this blasted wood somewhere." said the other. Rosetta climbed down from her hiding place and broke out into a run again. She tripped up and fell. She scrambled to her feet. She saw a firey glow in the distance and proceeded to its light.

Allan sat by the fire, bored. Once the day's robbing was over, there wasn't much to do aside from fire-watching and visiting the Trip, and his pockets were far too empty to think of going to the pub. He tried to amuse himself as best he could, just throwing dried leaves into the glowing embers and watching them curl and char.

As she ran to the glw she saw Allan. "Thank the Goddess." she embraced him. "You have to help me." she panicked.

He grabbed her arm and pulled her into the shadows.
"What are you doing here?" he hissed to her, quietly so the others didn't hear. "No-one's supposed to know where our camp is! If Robin knows you're here...god knows what he'd think I'd been up to!"

"What do you mean. I'm the one in trouble. Prince John's men are after me. I'm out of arrows and my sword is blunt." she hissed back. "I just found this place by chance." she said.

He thought he'd gone temporarily insane. She can't have said what he'd thought he'd heard...
"What?? Prince John's men? Are you serious? How close are they?"
He looked around, unsure of what to do. Someone had been bound to come across their camp by accident sooner or later, but after what had happened in the past year he didn't want to be the one presenting strangers to Robin. On the other hand, John's men were here, now, and there wasn't time for worrying about what the others were going to think, not really. A gang of outlaws would probably be slaughtered just for practice by John's soldiers. He sighed and grabbed her wrist.
"Come on then. I hope you're ready, because Robin's going to want some pretty spectacular explanation if we get out of this alive."

She whipped her arm away. "Its not my fault." she insisted. She looked into Allan's eyes falling for him everytime. "I think Prince John know I'm in love with you." she said. She embraced him again not letting go. "I could perform my Witchcraft but then I'll be killed. Which is better for me." she said.

"I think Prince John knows I'm in love with you."
"How does Prince John even know who I am? You been tellin' him about me?" This was bad. If Prince John was coming for them, they were more or less done for. And they were right behind her...
"I could perform my witchcraft, but then I'll be killed. Which will be better for me."
Great. His doom was rapidly impending and she was wasting time feeling sorry for herself. "Look, we're in a bad situation right now. You don't seem to care whether you live or die, but I do. Come with me, we've got to tell the others what's going on. We have to leave here, now. How many men are there?"

"Im sorry for causing you this trouble. I'll take my leave."
He felt bad now. She was a noble after all, skilled with weapons no doubt but probably unused to being chased by a platoon of armed guards. He softened his tone.
"Look, Rosetta, I'm sorry. I can get a little bit...terse when trouble's afoot, but you're here now, and we're going to protect you. Prince John is our enemy, you're our friend and we're in this together. I'm not much of a gentleman, but I'm not a straight-up bastard either. We'll go and tell the others what's up and see what's to be done, eh?"
He was never normally this short with women. Normally his instinctive charm kicked in and did the business, but something about Rosetta made him forget all of his smooth lines and carefully considered compliments.

"No theres no point." she said. "I can do this alone and alone it shall be done. Well if I can distract them you can kill them. Allan I love you my heart is yours. Please let me carry out this plan." she begged him.

"And does this plan involve getting you out alive?" he asked skeptically. He didn't want her running off and dying on his watch. Or at all for that matter. He'd really only just met the woman and he'd been hoping to get to know her a little better.

"More than likely." she said. "Shh." she said. She heard the gaurds. "Go!" she shuted. "Leave me alone you Outlaw!" she screamed. She winked at Allan. "Over there!" called one of the gaurds.

Allan blinked, shocked. He'd kind of expected the plan to be explained to him before it was put into action, but he was used to thinking on his feet. He looked at her quizzically...what was he supposed to do?

Rosetta suddenly drew her sword. And killed as many as she could. She looked at Allan. "I could use some help." she said.
