*The Capture*[[EVERYONE INVOLVED]]

[Robin Hood]

"What's on then?" he asked Much nervously. "Everything going to plan now?"

Satisfied that Carter and Little John were now on their way to Clun with their captive, Robin looked at Lady Rosetta's horse. The arrows protruded from its flank and blood ran down from the wounds. Robin gave a scowl. He couldn't leave the horse here like this. Taking hold of Daredevil's bridle, the outlaw turned the animal around and started to lead it slowly back down the road. Before he reached the carriage and the rest of the outlaw band, an old man appeared from one of the huts in the village. He was bandy legged and bent over, wheezing as he approached Robin. "Ere, lad, give that beast to me. I'll take care of un, till you get back." The old man took hold of the horse's reins as Robin relinquished them. "Thank you," Robin grinned, then turned and jogged back to the carriage.

As he reached the rest of his team, Robin overheard Allan's comment to Much. "Hopefully," Robin replied with a grin then swung himself up onto the seat next to Much. Looking at his friend, Robin pulled up his hood. "Hit the road, Much, and don't spare the horses!"

[Lady Rosetta Court]

"Basicly I don't want to marry the Prince. I love Allan." she stopped. "Err I don't think I should've said that." she whispered. "Oh and you didnt tie me up well." said Rosetta. She jumped of Little John's back. "Thanks for the ride but I prefer to walk." she laughed. "and I'll have my sword back if you dont mind Carter. You'll need my skills later on." she smiled.

[Much]

Much watched everything that was happening with an open mouth. The truth was, he couldn't even get up in time, everything had happened so fast. At Allan's question he merely made a meek mumbling sound, mesmorized by everything that was going on. But it had seemed that everything had come under control, and Carter and John were already making their way towards Clun.

There was no more time to waste, Much thwacked the horses reins with such force, his hands stung, and the horses bolted forewards at a record speed. Much gasped as the force of the collosal speed threw him backwards, and the horse and carriage lumbered along awkwardly, wobbling slightly as it propelled towards Nottingham. "We should be there soon!" he yelled, jiggling around helplessly as the horses galloped forewards.

[Carter]

At John's question Carter sighed. "What are we doing? I don't know. But orders are orders. I supposed Robin doesn't want this woman just," he paused, "disposed of." But I beg to differ he grunted through gritted teeth, kicking the dusty ground before him as he continued to walk.

"You love Allan?" Carter asked, his eyes flickering in disbelief. Now Allan and Rosetta would be a strange match. And a disturbing match. "Now are you sure he feels the same way?" he asked, unconvinced. Why would a woman still love a man after shes seen him in a dress. Carter sniffed. Plus Allan didn't seem like the kind of person who would settle down, or even love at all. But what did Carter know, he hardly knew the guy.

Carter almost spluttered out in frustration as Rosetta clambered down from John's back. Although he didn't show it in his face. He simply raised an eyebrow, and gave her a slightly unamused look. As she asked for her sword back, he laughed loudly. "No way Lady." he retorted rudely. "No way you're getting your hands on this sword." he said, tipping his head to one side, and placing her sword firmly under his arm.

"So unless you want to be impaled by your own sword, I suggest you keep walking."

[Lady Rosetta Court]

"You just don't get it do you?" she said. She sighed. "Ah well. It's not liem you have any snese on what to do with weapons." she laughed. "John is proberly the fiercest fighter i know. Well apart from Robin." she smiled.

[Allan A'Dale]

Allan gave a half-hearted cheer at Much's reply, which was drawn out and subsided into a half-groan as the carriage surged forwards. Not long now till the moment of truth.

[Ooc - now we've split into separate groups would it make sense to location-jump? Just putting it out there.]

[Robin Hood]

(ooc: Yes, thanks Allan I've made a thread in the "Streets of Nottingham" subsection called, conveniently, 'Here Comes The Bride!' Sorry, couldn't resist!

Carter and LJ, if you would like to make a thread in Clun, then please go ahead. Morgan tells me you can use his farm thread if you like, and he would be happy to join in if you so wish...

Hope thats OK with everyone? )
