Outlawed (Accepting)

"We still have more to find. The leader is a start. Unless there is a next in command the Hood will no longer be able to fuction correctly." Saya said looking at her disappointed that some one so strong would lose their will.

Arowin nearly snapped at Sayas words. "Touch them and I will break your kneck." she hissed. "The Hood is gone anyway. We disband." she said lying easily and fluently, it would be impossible to tell otherwise.

"Whether or not you have disbanned or not is not why we are out here. You all have created crime upon crime against the crown you will all be brought in and either rot in prison or die by hangingin." Saya said not afraid of her.

The guards walked Arrowin past Sheriff, who gave her a swift kick to her side as she passed. He smirked and turned his horse around. "Well, one down, four to go." he said to Frank smugly, not knowing about Rebecca or that Casper was dead. He looked down at one of the knights. "Go get King John and Guy. Tell them we found Arrowin." The knight nodded and ran off, the other seven gathered around Arrowin and leading her away, mocking her and giving her smacks here and there.

Emerald saw Arrowin being led away, and the empty look in her eyes, and she felt herself want to cry again. She knew Chris wasn't the same, but Arrowin too? She dismounted Envy and stayed within the shadows and trees, blending in. She couldn't fight all those men at once, but maybe if she did so from a distance first. She pulled all her daggers but one from their places, five in all. She picked up the first one, aimed, and threw. It hit the target in the back and he fell with a scream. She hit another, and by the third wounded man they realized where she was. There was only five left, but five was certainly enough to overcome her. She managed to take down one more before they had her in the snow.

Sheriff smirked. "Did you honestly think you could save her? You may be a good fighter, but not good enough."
He saw Emerald struggling and fighting against the guards to get at him, to no avail. "Where are the others? Dead girl over there won't talk."

Emerald scowled and struggled again. "They're all dead you ignorant fool!" she spat. "I killed them! They were only going to die anyway, so I saved them the pain of your torture and quickly killed them myself." The lie came out thick with pain and hate and rage, making Sheriff believe it all.

The old man chuckled. "Alright then. Back to the dungeons we go. Your father can deal with you two survivors there."

Frank froze seeing Arowin with the guards and sheriffs booming, cold voice up ahead. He rode straight up to Emerald and dismounted from the stallion and pushed some of the guards out of the way "why?!" he hissed, holding her arm and feeling distraught and hurt.

[~Thor's Gurl<3~]

Emerald felt slight relief that her lie had fooled even Frank. "Because Chris was as good as dead anyway, and Rebecca asked me to! That's why!" she snarled. "You think I wanted to? It was for the best." Her expression was cold and angry. She refused to show Sheriff of any of his men what really lay on the inside, which consisted of pain, hopelessness, love, and yet the small flame that wanted to still keep fighting. She clung to that flame like a rider to a horse.

Sheriff laughed. "Give it up Frank. She's not who you think she is. I'll tell you some pretty heart stopping stories on the way."

[sicksadworld.]

Frank growled and took his hand away from her, his eyes darkening as he spun back to Diad re-mounting and riding up to the sheriff "Im not in the mood"he snarled wrapping his cloak over his lower jaw.

Saya looking at the Sherrif. "Coming? We can worry for the others tomorrow."

[~Thor's Gurl<3~]

Sheriff chuckled and looked at Saya. "There are no others. Oh and Frank, I'm going to tell you anyway. I'm sure Mr. High and Mighty can tell you some more later." he said smugly. "There was this one time..."

Emerald struggled against the guards as they cuffed her and tied the rope around her neck as well. She tried shouting to Sheriff as he told Frank about a story where she had beaten up Guy so bad he was unconscious for a whole day. Aggravated, Sheriff ordered her to be gagged, so now all that could be heard were muffled insults. They led her along side Arrowin. Emerald looked over at her, her gaze angry and betrayed. "How could you?" her looked seemed to say. She shook her head and looked away, struggling so hard against her neck rope her neck was starting to bleed and her breathing came in ragged breaths.

[Mentally__Unstable]

"We still need to get back." Saya said and followed them.
