Anya crouched behind a large thorny bush at the tree line and looked out at the Village she used to call home. People where bustling about tending to there own business oblivious to her being there. Anyas gaze fell on one girl a good few years younger than her self, a girl with long blond hair and blue eyes. IT had been a few weeks since she had seen her half sisters she looked older every visit. Anya tried to make these visits as often as she could but these visits where one sided. She would travel there alone leaving the group behind and sit behind the bush watching in silence just watching. She didn’t miss her Mother of her step father but she did miss them.
They looked so happy running about playing joking looking as though they didn’t have a care in the world. Anya often wandered if they even ever thought about her. Did they care that shed left? Did they talk about her or where they happy that she was gone. A Sigh found its way out of her mouth and took Anya by surprise. She had wanted out of that place so much and now that she was out she wanted to go back.
Guy of Gisborne was passing in the door way of Robin’s house looking stern and ruffled about something. His foul mood was no doubt caused by The gangs antics and caused a smirk spread across Anyas face.

The outlaws had been splitting in to couples, it had been happening for a while. First Robin and Marian then Will and Djaq who was it going to be next John and Anya. Ok that was to far maybe Allan and Anya though Much was sure that Anya was smart enough to know not to go for Allan’s type. Much had been at camp all on his lonesome mending his favourite jumper, the one with the many colours when he noticed Anya was missing. The others just shrugged when he had asked about her whereabouts so taking it upon him self to find her he left the camp.
Not wanting to dram to much attention to himself he decided to go on foot, a horse would be more noticeable and make more noise. He had a fairly good idea where Anya could have got to. She seemed like the family orientated type and she had come from Locksley Much could remember her from when she was a little girl. Much had thought it best that he bring some food with him. Not for him to eat but for the people of Locksley kill to birds with one stone (not that he understood that saying he always hated sayings). He walked briskly thinking contently to himself and imagining proudly the look on the Locksley people’s faces when he handed over the food. It was always robin that got the glory maybe for once he could have some.
Anya was crotched gazing at the Village when Much walked up behind her. Kneeling down at her side he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. “Should we go down and drop off some food?” No sooner had he said it then he noticed guy standing out side his masters house. “Well it would be a bit foolish to go down with him watching but wee could sneak down at leave it out side some one s back door”

Anya, getting a slight fright as Much appeard by her side shrugged not finding the engery to speak. As much as she loved her brothers and sisters thes village sapped any anrgy she had. Of corse she was never able to discuss that with Robin or Much there love for Locksly was to strong.
As a girl Anya had hellped out in Robins home as the mucky stable girl always getting her self in to trouble. Robin hadnt recoginsed her when he and Much first terernted. Her face was no longer splatterd with signature mud and she had grown pretty no longer the little tomboy look alike. There where many times when Anya had be scolded for naglecting her duties and punished with hours of mind dumingly bornig washing.
after a few minets Anya woke from her thoughts and glanced over at Much. " Leave it at the door? Yea I Guess ." she pushed her self to her feet and carfully stepped out of the safe haven of the bushes. Out in the open she felt vunrable and an easy target for the eyes of any unloyal villageror worse Guy of Gisborne himself. Anya stubled un easily as she made her way down the slope towards the first house in Locksey

"What...Wait ," Much whispered after Anya as she went off down the slop. Why did girls always rush? They where always in a hurry to finish things or get somewhere. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to have gone to find Anya. Much was one of those people who attracted trouble so walking in to locksley when guy of Gisborne was wandering about was pretty foolish. Guy would no doubt spot them and have them thrown in the the castle dungeons before an early morning hanging or maybe the sheriff would have them hanged at once before anyone had even noticed they where missing. As much as Much wouldn't like to think he would be able to think some complex plan to free them like robin would do it was most likely he would just get them in more trouble.
While Much had been thinking all this Anya was already way in front. panicking for a moment Much went racing after her stumbling a few times on the way. " You cant just go rushing in" he said slightly out of breath and clutching his side " what about Gisborne." That wasn't really a question he said it more as a reminder that Guy was still strolling about sour faced. Who did he think he was patrolling and destroying the lives of Locksleys villagers. Guy had only been in Locksley for 4 years or so but already the Village had deteriorated dramatically. It made Much sick, all Robin had worked on destroyed in a few short years. There where no more Scarletts living in the village and a couple of family's had even moved away.
" Anya i dont think this is such a good idea. Why dont we just go back to the camp and leave this to Robin wee will be caught and hanged and i really like the thought of staying alive."

Anabelle stepped out of her sad excuse for a home for a few moments to shake out a small carpet and noticed Anya,one of her old friends who became an outlaw, standing at the other side of the village. She was standing with a reasonably short man who wasn't recognizable.
She quickly and carefully ran across to them making sure she was not to be seen by Gisborne who was nearby. She nearly tripped up on a small rock, obviously not being careful enough.
She arrived at the other side side of the village and smiled at Anya who seemed to look strangely at her, but soon realized who she was.
" Hello Anya I has certainly been quite some time since i last saw you. Who is your friend? "
Anabelle looked at the young man, smiled and nodded.
"I would invite you in for some dinner but I'm not sure that would be such a good idea. As Gisborne is so close and could come knocking at any moment."

A girl with blond hair was running towards them making Anya panic for a split second before she recognized who it was. Anya and Anabelle had been friends when Anya was still a resident of Locksley. Anabelle was the more girly of the two always taking notice if there was a new pretty faced lad in the neighbourhood. Although Anya enjoyed living in the forest with Robin and the others she did miss her old friends. She could no longer strole in to Nottingham with Anabelle and meet up with others she had to creep through the shadows so not to be detected by the sheriff’s men.
“Anabelle" Anya smiled brightly before looking over her shoulder to find Much standing next to her. “Don’t worry about It Much if we stick to the back of the houses he wont see us." Hopping she was right she turned back to smile at Anabelle.
“That’s Much You remember? Robins man servant. He went away with him to the holy land and came back the earl of Bonchurch." Much still went on about Bonchurch prising its warm and friendly atmosphere that couldn’t be found any where else in Nottinghamshire anymore. “We actually came to drop off some food." Anya indicated the bag which much held. It wasn’t the largest of bags but it would certainly help some of the poorer families of Locksley.

" Sorry I don't recall ever meeting you, Much." Anabelle looked at Much again to try once more to recognize him but she did not get anywhere
She glanced down at the small sack of food that Anya pointed out and gave a small smile.
"That is ever so kind of you, but you should be very careful The Sheriff will have your head if he finds out that you have been feeding the poor."
Anabelle turned her head to check if there was anybody watching them, She began to get increasingly restless and scared. She kept seeing people in the corner of her eye and thinking it was Gisborne or one of his guards.
"Right, Well I better be off I don't want to get you caught, I wouldn't want that on my conscience. Remember if you are ever in need of some food feel free to pop over."
Anabelle began to slowly walk away watching in all directions every step she took.

Noah started to walk towards the village of Locksley, humming as he did so. He was going to visit Guy of Gisborne to discuss the matter of a villager being caught wandering the castle. Every time he passed another person he would mime the action of shooting them with an arrow. He found that their reactions weren't as he was expecting.
He carried on walking through the village trying to find somebody to torment and whilst doing so he came across a group of villagers looking rather suspicious. He decided to go investigate.
"Whats all this here?"
Noah looked at two of the people who stood across from him and pondered on whether these were locals as he seemed not to remember their faces.
"names?"
He got no reply for a few moments so he stood closer and put his face right up into the funny looking mans face.
"tell me your names!, what business do you have here?"

Much made a face as the girl walked away. Well if she didn't remember him then Much wouldn't remember her. Just as Much was about to suggest that He and anya leave the familiar face of Noah green appeared in front of them. This was not good Noah Green had arrested Much and the others a few times before and had tried to stab much himself once before. Much wondered why he didn't recognize him? Then again no one seemed to remember who he was they only ever remembered the others.
" Names" Much repeated nervously glancing from Noah to Anya" ahh yes out names. Well we do have names every one has a name". Much was babbling this was something that happened when he got nervous he would babble and it would make no sense.
"John" he paused raking his brain for a name that would sound convincing"smith". He then turned to Anya " and this is my ...eh my ... My sister Sally. Sally smith."

Guy made his way throughout the forestry lane and into the little group smirking quite coldly to himself. He looked at one of the familiar guards back at the gates noticing that it was Noah Green. He stopped next to him looking at two people. He shot a glance at the girl first, then at the guy.
He turned to look at Noah. "And what's going on here?" He arched up an eyebrow.

Anya shot an annoyed look at much as he gave her a dull and unimaginative.Surely the guard wouldn't really believe that they where two peasents named John and Sally Smith. If they did then they where thicker than she thought and getting in to the castle would be easier than the had ever expected. Anya had yet to join the gang on one of there escapades in the castle, Robin said that it was safer if she stuck to distracting guards at the gates or keeping watch.
As Guy joined there small gathering Anya took a small step behind Much. she wasn't afraid of being recognized by sir Guy having never had the misfortune of meeting him before. Sir Guy had however met Much may times and Anya hopped that like every one else Gisborne would have forgoten Much like every one else.

“Ahh Sir Guy, okay I was on my way to meet you and I stopped to see what was going on here, and it seems that these two people aren’t from around here. Well I certainly do not recognize them.”
Noah looked at both the outsiders’ strangely then back at Gisborne to explain what he had found.
“It seems that they are holding a small sack, though I have not yet checked what is inside it, they are not from around here though that young man is strangely recognizable.”
Noah began to think to himself, he thought maybe he had worked with this man before. Maybe on some armour or possibly with the mines.
“What is your work?”

Anabelle glanced back to the trouble that she had left behind. She wanted to go back and help but thought it would make things worse. She carried on walking towards her home knowing that Noah and Gisborne would soon be over to her house to investigate.
She was happy to have seen Anya after such not seeing her for about 4 and half months. She was used to seeing her everyday. Anabelle used to help Anya and her mother with sewing.
As soon as she arrived at her home she closed her door and peered through and hole to see what was going on. She saw that Gisborne and Noah had finished talking to the others and had begun to walk towards her house. Anabelle panicked and ran to the other side of her house and sat on a chair. She tried to act calm and natural. She heard the knock on the door.

"Ahh, I see." He his glowered upon the man and then at the lady. "Interesting...Interesting..." He walked around the two as if a predator was going for his prey. He stopped and his eyes glanced through the woods. "I think I might've seen a girl walk through here, she looked like she was coming from this place here." He shot with a cold, venomous tone of voice.
"Follow, Green," He walked towards the woods although stopped at center line, he turned to the two. "You wait here fellows, and I swear on my god's oath that if you run away, I shall catch you and decease you with my bear hands."
He then made his way out of the forest and to the girl's home.

Anya Tugged at Muchs arm. They had made a narrow escape and she wasn’t willing to stick around for a second longer. "Let’s just leave food and go" she said in a low voice following Gisborne with her eyes. The wind began to blow stronger and Anyas hair played across her face making it hard to keep her eyes open. The sound of the old wooden houses creaked noisily beside them. It was amazing that these house where still standing after the harsh wind they had been getting lately. Anya put it down to the good carpentry skills of Dan Scarlett and his boys.
“Really much let’s go” Anya repeated “I’m sure Anabelle will be fine she not done anything to anger them so… “. These days it didn’t matter if you had committed a crime or not you still had a good chance of being punished for no particular reason. You could just be passing by and Sir Guy and his men would punish you for shear sport.
(( ahhh its kinda short and rubbish sorry couldn’t think of much))
