Anya had been berry picking not out of lust for berried but because for once there was nothing to do. No one was in immediate need of her help no one was looking for her or chasing her she was just on her own completely mind numbingly bored. Not a feeling she was very used to. Having only spent a short few weeks in the forest Anya was still getting sued to finding her way about and was easily lost among the tall evergreen trees that enclosed around her.
Finding berries in such a large forest proved harder than she first anticipated and after only 20 minuets of berry hunting she was ready to give up. Berries didn’t even taste that great to be worth all this trouble. Time to head back to the camp, she thought defeated gazing down at the pathetic number of berries she had managed to find.
The only trouble was which direction led back to camp? Anya had been so wrapped up in moaning to her self about berried that she hadn’t kept track of where she was going and now she was lost, again. The next hour and a half consisted of walking round and around in one big circle that she only broke when she realized she had passed the same large moss covered rock three times.
“This is Hopeless” She wined to her self as she sat down on the mossy rock.
Anya a good hunter but her sense of direction was terrible. In the short time she had been living a new life in Sherwood she had gotten lost at least a dozen times

Guy walked slowly along the track, his horse’s hooves, making soft thuds. The sheriff had given him the afternoon off, Guy wasn’t quite sure why, but he wasn’t going to refuse. He had quickly got his horse saddled up and went out into the forest. Many people would think it would be to catch Robin Hood and his gang, but actually that wasn’t the intention. He just wanted some time to himself, to think. Process the last few weeks, what has happened with Marian, Robin, the sheriff.
Guy sighed and continued to walk down the long road. He didn’t know how long had passed, but it didn’t seem like long. He went around a corned and stopped when he saw the young woman. He knew who she was instantly.
The golden hair a huge give away. Anya Lahey. Robin’s latest addition.
“Well, Well, what do we have here?” Guy smirked.

Anya spun round dropping her half empty basket of berries. The berries in the basket spilled out sending ripe berries rolling in every direction and covering the leaves in little patches of read juice which looked scarily like blood. What a waste, Anya thought irritably, a whole morning berry picking and now the bloody leaves where stained with there juice leaving them unfit to eat.
She lifted her gaze to find Sir Guy of Gisborne standing with his steed only feet away. Oh dear she was in trouble. Anya may have been light on her feet and a fast runner but Sir Guy had a horse and that she couldn’t not out run. Her only chance was to some how talk her way out of the situation but sadly Anya was not as skilled as Allan in that area.
“Nothing” Anya said meekly unable to think of anything witty. Maybe she should just chance it and run?
Anya’s heart beat had begun to beat uncommonly fast she could almost hear it.
“Well I must be going but it was lovely seeing you again I’ll send Robin your love” She said earnestly and turned hopping that the direction she chose might just happen to lead back to the camp.

Guy raised his eyebrow at the young woman. Her blond hair blowing in the breeze. He smiled a half hearted smile at her attempt to get away. He watched as Anya started to walk away. Was she going to be that stupid and just lead him to their camp? He wondered if he would be so lucky. He just let her walk off. He gently slid of his horse, and went to the berries, picking one up and popping it in his mouth. He smiled at the sweet taste.
He tied his horse gently to the tree and then started to follow the young woman into the forest.

Anya ran enjoying the feeling of the wind flying threw her golden hair that fanned out behind her as she ran. It was late evening and there where an abundance of midges descending down in small grey swarms. One drawback of living in the forest was midge bites. Half running half slipping she skidded down a slope leading out on to an old neglected road boarded by ferns and dandelions. Sure she had lost him Anya came to a stop and placed a hand on her for head as she breathed hard. The feeling she was being watched made Anya turn on here hells. Gisborne was there standing only feet away from her. A groan escaped her lips as her expression fell. Well at least they weren’t to close to the camp then she would be in big trouble.
“Ohh dear, “she muttered dejectedly as she fought to get her breath back. Instinct made her reach to her side for a sward but all she found was a wooden handled dagger. That was going to have to do. Pulling out the small dagger and holding it out defensively Anya took a step back. This was an unfair fight but why go down with out a fight there was no fun in that.
“Can I help you” she said with a smirk but there was fear in her eyes.
