Outlawed 2

Sam glanced around him, taking in his surroundings. Being on a horse was nerve-racking for him. He tried to keep calm, but gritted his teeth, excited to feel the ground underfoot again.

Saya dismounted Deuce and rushed up the old steps and opened the door to the old cabin with a smile. "Home sweet home." She said with a smile as she checked on the food and ammount of blankets. "Everything will be to your liking." She said with a smile and walked over to the old stable that was still falling apart.

(( Oh sorry sayaprincessoflight, Chris wasn't talking to Saya. But Sam can run in with her. Just a min. BTW... er, I'm just gonna call you Brits for now 'cause your other name is long and I'm lazy...do you have any room for another member on your other roleplays? I happened to notice your list in your siggy. ))

Sam was sick of this life, running in the treetops from dawn til dusk. He wanted the Hood's power and influence. But he knew that to get that, he had to first complete his mission. He doubled back to stop at the King's castle for supplies, strutting confidently past the guards without them taking a second glance. He was a master of disguise and persuasion. He was rounding to the stables, hopefully to steal some of the King's horses or find someone to ask for food and water, when he realized there was a commotion here. His eyes narrowed and he approached someone at the back of the crowd, blending right in as always despite his mismatched eyes. He tapped the girl on the shoulder and smiled pleasantly, his eyes showing no sign of emotion in their intensity. "Excuse me, Miss, what has happened here? And where is the King?" he said quickly, intent on getting answers and soon getting into the castle. Of course, nobody could know this, as he seemed only a curious guest of the king. ((He's talking to Saya this time))

Chris stopped short, momentarily confused. He didn't recognize the speaker's voice, and what they were saying didn't make sense. Maybe it was Stephan. He had never gotten to know him very well. Shame washed over him as he realized it was true; there was no Chris in the Hood, and there hadn't been for years. "Leaving the Hood was necessary, but it is a decision I have regretted since the moment I made it. Five years is a long time... and I never said goodbye to Arowin, either. I-I love her, you know. Please, just listen to me. I want to come back. I can make it up to you guys. Look, I even brought these squirrels." He was begging, and his will was growing weaker. He held out the pair of freshly killed animals into the lantern's light, shaking slightly. He wasn't wanted here.

Prince Stephan laughed at himself under his breath. Why was this so hard to say? His face glowed with the words he couldn't form. He looked at Rebecca, waiting, and thought he heard hoofbeats in the distance. The Hood must be back, but they were far enough away from the castle that he couldn't see the riders. Sure enough, lanterns switched on in the castle and spilled light across the lawn. Stephan glanced up at the night sky, unable to think, let alone speak. He had always had a sort of nervous habit of that, like the clouds would spell out the answer. Finally he couldn't take the silence anymore. Working up his guts he looked Rebecca in the eye and half of a smile seized his lips. "I have to show you something," he announced, and before either of them could react, he leaned down and kissed her right on the mouth. It was gentle and sweet and nearly almost as quickly as he had kissed her, he pulled back. A little clumsy as usual, his lips brushed her cheek as he broke away and he laughed a little more. "I'm sorry," he apologized after wards, for the overall abrupt kiss, a gentleman as always. He was smiling though, at this point most of the tension broken.

You can call me Nads, Brits, whatever. I don't mind at all.

Kyle sneered, fear, his best friend in a fight. "Oh please, why would an old member of the hood be speaking around the castle like a little coward." he said and raised his sword. He heard Arowin call to him from the bottom and his smile got bigger. "Arra! Come quick. I have an intruder here." he shouted proud of himself. Once Arowin saw this there would be no way she wouldn't allow him to come with her on The Hood's "hunting" trips.

As Arowin reached the door she found it open which seemed strange . She put her hand to her sword's hilt and stepped through. "Kyle? You in here?" she called out into the tower. Further up she could hear voices, begging. She heard Kyle's reply and ran up the steps with sword in hand to find the intruder back to her and with Kyle's sword in hand. She dropped her sword the moment she realized who it was and hurried past him, pushed Kyle's sword away with the point and slapped not too hard on the back of his head. "Kyle, go help Rebecca and don't ever point a sword at Chris again!" she commanded and turned around to face Chris with a huge smile on her face and embraced him, rabbits and all. "Your crazy! What are you doing here?" she said happily smiling at him. She couldn't believe it, she thought he would never return to the hood, never return to her.

Rebecca caught the lights coming on in the castle with the corner of her eye but didn't look away. She watched Stephan as he hesitated and looked at the sky. Suddenly he kissed her and everything was perfect, well it was until he pulled away. She giggled and then kissed him back. "Don't be." she said and smiled. The gentleman as always. He wasn't a prince now, he was a member of the hood and he was hers.

(( Haha thanks. I'll call you Nads. And I don't mean to sound like a total creeper-I'm not, lol, and of course you don't have to share if you're uncomfortable-but what part of the world are you all writing from? Just like the country, or maybe the continent. I was just wondering if we were global or not. Oh and happy Easter or spring or whatever!!! ))


Chris frowned at first, disturbed. Who was this person? It must have been someone new to the Hood, if he didn't know them. Someone who had taken his place. Did they not speak of him anymore? He started to break inside. He deserved it. He was just about to leave the rabbits and take off, when he heard the person call to Arrowin. Hope surged through him, but it was bleak. His hazel-blue eyes searched the darkness for her form. The last time he had seen her felt so long ago, standing in the clearing under the moon. They had met just that once, in secret, and life had forced them apart again. But when he turned, and saw her coming towards him, for just a moment he was scared. How would she react? Was he welcome here anymore? And then her arms were around him and it was sudden and warm and he managed to keep his foothold despite his surprise and he was curious about the person who had threatened him and it was all too much. Chris laughed and the lantern clattered to the floor at his feet, a pool of light cascading around his boots. He wrapped one arm around Arrowin and held onto the rabbits with the other. "I'm sorry I left," he told her, though he knew he would do it again. Over her shoulder he scanned the figure that was standing shrouded in darkness. Who was that? Could it be...was it... the stolen Prince Kyle? Chris stared. The last time he had seen the boy was when he was only a baby.

Prince Stephan's cheeks were flushed with a healthy coating of excitement. He didn't feel like he could be much brighter. His eyes glittered and he stood up a little straighter, but realized he towered over Rebecca when he did so and bent his head closer to hers. "I guess you could say I think I've been falling for you for quite a while now," he admitted, shyness briefly cloaking his features. He released the bouquet and plucked a goldenrod from it, busying himself tucking the flower into Rebecca's hair so he wouldn't have to read her expression.

[GoldenStateOfMind]

(( Oh wow I'm from the United States. Ugh you're so lucky, you have horses! They are such awesome animals... ))

[intriguing]

((Sorry to bug you all, you've probably forgotten about me, after all I've haven't psoted for an age, but does anybody mind giving me a recap (doesn't have to be detailed at all) and somewhere to jump in? Sorry for my absense, I've jsut been bust and procrastinating and meh, I've no excuses left really, sorry. And though I hate to jump into a convo, South Africa and USA? Blimey, Good ol' GB sounds so boring now T-T
PS I'll probably make some new charries to get my muse back, hope you guys don't mind ;D))

[GoldenStateOfMind]

(( Haha welcome back! Well I was gone for forever too and just started posting again... all that's really happened is Arrowin led a raid on the castle that stole all the King's horses, and then Prince Stephan got a job as a woodsman in a near village that he works twice a week, currently most of the Hood is sleeping, Prince Stephan and Rebecca just kissed at the edge of the forest, Arrowin and Prince Kyle just found Chris who wants to come back to the Hood (they are in the castle too), and Sam and Saya are at her house getting Sam supplies for his travels. Oh, and Prince Kyle knows about his past now, if you missed that part. :3 ))

Back! I love my babies but sometimes 16 horses and 4 foals can be a bit of a handful XD

Rebecca laughed, "You could say the same for me but I thought you never noticed." she said and studied his face with her ever watchful but gentle brown eyes as he threaded the flower into her hair. She smiled happily and peacefully, why couldn't the earth always be this peaceful, with everything perfect. Suddenly Kyle appeared at the corner of her eye and started running towards them and she sighed burying her head into Stephan's chest. What now?!

Kyle hesitated when he finally found Rebecca after his messy and short search of the castle and final trek outside. She and Stephan where standing very close and seemed to be having a personal moment. There seemed to be a lot of those currently. He then continued running towards them. "Becca! Stephan! Someone called Chris in the castle. Arowin told em off for fighting him off." he said looking hugely confused. He glanced back t the castle and rubbed the back of his head and looked back to see shock on Rebecca's face.

Arowin smiled happily as he laughed. She had missed it so much and now he was here, she could hardly believe it but thanked God for sending him back into her life. She noticed him look at Kyle before he ran off and guessed at what was going through his head. "It's the prince." she said dismissively and kissed his cheek. "I missed you." she whispered and could hardly contain the emotions rushing through her. She had to tell the others and get rid of those rabbits of his, she was sure that Rebecca wouldn't mind cooking them up. She hugged Chris again and gazed at him with a giant grin on her face. "Your staying right." she said, there was no hint of asking in her voice, more of hopeful begging.
