Rosetta's horse clopped out onto the street. She waved for Allan to follow her. "OK lets go before the gaurds come back. They will set that house ablaze when they find I have left and John wont be very happy." she informed. Dyfore snorted and pawed the ground ready to go. "Easy Dyfore." she hushed. She looked around to be clear. She nodded. "All clear. Should we head to the forest? Or Clun?" she asked. She smiled her beautiful smile. "I hope Robin will not think of me as a traitor to my family but then again this is what they would have wanted. My mother any way." muttered Rosetta. Sheb heard voices. Rosetta drew her sword. "Keep behind me." she instructed. A gaurd came. She put her sword away and got her bow. She drew back an arrow and released it. It hit the gaurd in the neck. "Go!" Rosetta screamed kicking Dyfore into a gallop.

Allan squeezed his horse's sides and kicked it into a gallop, trying his best to keep up with Rosetta. She was a good rider and her horse was somewhat bigger than his, so it took a lot of effort to stay close but he managed, more or less.
But where should they go? He didn't know any better than she did. Clun sounded as good a place as any; the forest was probably not the best option. As they reached the outskirts of the town and slowed a little, he called to her: "Clun it is then."

"No. We need somewhere less populated." said Rosetta. "Why dont you go and ask Robin I can look after myself." said Rosetta. She smiled at Allan. "Or do you want to stay with me?" she asked.

Allan cocked his head. "Stay with you? Wait; now I'm confused. Did you mean stay at your house? Do you have another place? Cos obviously we can't go back to the cottage. Or did you mean just not go and get Rob? What other choice have we got?"

"I dont know." sighed Rosetta. A faint voice sounded in the air. "Find her." it said. Rosetta froze in her saddle. "Darn. What are supposed to do?" she hissed.

Allan considered for a second. "Well, we can't even guarantee that Robin'll be at the camp, but I can try if you like. There's a fairly good chance I'll come back empty handed. What were your plans from hereon out?"

"To stick by people I know." she said. She looked at Allan hopefully. Without any luck she turned her horse towards the Forest.

"Sherwood it is then," said Allan, slightly awkwardly. He wasn't sure how well the outlaws would react bringing her to the camp and revealing its location, and then he realised. She had come to the camp already once, not even knowing it was there. Immediately he started to feel better about it and urged his horse to follow hers.
"So, what's next for you?" he asked conversationally. "I mean, now you've jilted Prince John, are you an outlaw or what? Can he do that, just for refusing to marry him? Or have you still got your title and stuff?

"I still have my title. He cant take it away he is not King." said Rosetta. She smiled. "I hope Robin forgives you for bringing me to you camp." she laughed. The sun was begining to rise. "Beautiful." she whispered.

Allan grinned ruefully. "Yeah, I'm just so used to John acting like he's King I suppose I forgot. And don't worry too much about Robin; he's forgiven me for far worse things than this."
He looked up towards the horizon. The sky was getting light already. "Yeah, not bad," he replied in a noncomittal way. One sunrise looked very much like another to him.
"We'd better get our arses in gear," he told her. "We want to be deep in the forest before people start stirring. Prince John's men will figure you're not in your cottage soon."

"I still think John wants this marriage. Maybe I should go through with it." she sighed. She stopped her horse at the edge of town and turned around. "What choice do I have? I love you and only you but my future is with John. I should really get married to him just to keep my father's spirit happy." she smiled.

Allan could barely believe his ears. "Your future is with John? Are you serious? Ok, I mean, you might get to be queen one day and I can see how that would be attractive, sure, but really? And let me tell you something else an' all, you say you love me but you don't seem to make much effort to make me feel the same way. You just keep saying it, as if somehow that'll make me love you too, but life doesn't work that way."
Suddenly in a bad mood, he pressed on out of town and into the open fields. The forest was still several miles away and he didn't feel like hanging around.

"Alright Allan. Im going back to John. I have no choice." she sighed. "Keep the horse." she smiled. She walked back into the town pulling her horse behind her. The gaurds were relived to see her.

Allan pulled his horse up sharply as she dismounted and rolled his eyes as she walked off but made no effort to stop her. "Well, that was weird, as usual," he muttered to himself. It was just like before, when they'd been trying to stop the wedding. She said she wanted one thing then did nothing but act to bring about the opposite. Less than a month ago she'd been dead set on killing the prince, on a mission from King Richard no less; now she wanted to marry a man she didn't love after flouncing off from the one she claimed to care about. Well, he'd had enough of her mindgames.
He kicked his heels into the flanks of his new horse and headed back to the camp.
