Robin Hood: The Female Thief Chapter 3

The battalion is on another amongst the dozens of scouting missions it's been on deep in enemy territory.

As usual Robin tags along as one of the top marksmen in their forces, carrying a medical pack with her in order to treat those comrades who are in desperate need of care. Almost each and every time she's ventured out on one of these excursions Robin has had to treat someone. The majority she's been able to save long enough until more experienced help arrives or they're taken back to base, but to those whom she hasn't each and every one of them is a blow.

Robin really wants this time to be different.

But in a warzone things can be very unpredictable.

The squad creeps forward through the ruins of the massively deserted city, sneakily trying to not make a single sound to give away their position to the Saracens.

Quietly, Commander Guy of Gisbourne said "Look alive, ladies. We don't want these bloody savages knowing we're coming, do we? Sooner we win this war, sooner Lady Loxley here gets what she wants the most. Go back home to daddy."

There's laughter at this with Robin rolling her eyes in light annoyance. Not as if this isn't something she hasn't heard before. She's learned to ignore it. The more she protests then the more they get into it. Ever since they learned in the beginning that she was a Lady of the Nottingham Court life she'd always get picked on about it.

But just as hard as they hit her she equally punches them right back.

"Ha! Ha! Very funny. Just remember who heals you guys whenever the Saracens get their hands on you," said Robin, scowling.

That shut them up. Sometimes they just need to be reminded about what she actually does for them on the field.

Suddenly the squad is bombarded by an onslaught of deadly enemy fire.

About a fifth of the squad was hit and killed on the spot. The remainder take up positions behind pillars or wrecked walls to either return fire and try to discover where the enemy is shooting from. Some of them even try to use anything they can get their hands on with a reflective surface to get a better view, but each item was almost immediately shot out of their hands.

Finally there was enough of a pause to give the squad a breather where they can concoct a strategy.

"He's reloading. Listen up. Two volunteers for a back slang," said Commander Gisbourne.

Robin immediately volunteers, raising her hand. She then handpicks the next one.

A timid yet skilled recruit a little bit older than her. His name is Clayton. The two of them got along well somewhat better than the rest since she became a fighter.

"Clayton! You up for a run," she asked.

"Yeah," panted Clayton, nodding his consent.

"You ready," said Robin.

"Yeah," confirmed Clayton.

"Okay. Let's go," said Robin, taking the lead and breaking from the others hoping to snuff the shooter out while he's distracted with reloading and being focused on the others who are pinned down.

Probably a trap.

Then again they all were.

Authors Note:

Glad each and every one of you had a Merry Christmas, my friends! Here is your belated present for the holiday! Glad you can enjoy it as I have writing it. And, let's not forget, have a Happy New Year!

September 11th has come and gone once again. I was very young when it happened. Don't know about all of you, but I certainly was really scared. One minute I was at elementary school in class and the next my parents are pulling me out, taking my little sister and I home. That's when we learned the truth. The Twin Towers we'd see all the time whenever we traveled outside the city limits on road trips would no longer be there. We were stunned when we'd seen them destroyed on TV. Those trips were never the same again just like the lives of millions. In honor for the people that fell that day and to those still struggling to survive from the aftermath I suggest a moment of respective silence. I think we all can use that.

Hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D

I've been meaning to get back to this one for a while and only now I've managed to find time and inspiration for it. I'm very satisfied and happy about it. I'm really am going to try to push this one a lot more. Fingers crossed.

Think she should save Clayton this time around?

Big time heads up! Article 13 is on the move again. Our freedom of speech is seriously on the line. Find a legitimate petition that is fighting this decision and sign onto it. Every signature counts to keep what we love alive.

I recently put up some other works I've put out at titled Secret Of Bristol Cove, Predators Redemption, A Revolutionary Romance, Fantine Tezla: Hot Wheels Acceleracers, Magic And the Brave Little Toaster 1, Lavinia: Princess Of Edelweiss, Rorschach's Legend, Watchmen Meets Avengers: The Newest Defender, The 8th Loser, Naomi Poldark: Mistress Of Nampara, Serenity: End Guardian To The Moors, Dido Cruger: Power Rangers SPD, and Nuala: The White Lioness. I highly recommend them. ;D

By the way Rorschach's Legend. Mandalorian: The 2nd Foundling, Eira Byrnison, and Watchmen Meets Avengers: The Newest Defender are the newest additions to my profile. If you're a fan of the Golden Compass and Watchmen which are the new series on HBO then you will love these. Then if you haven't saw them yet then I recommend that you check it out. Since there are still just recently uploaded I really would enjoy hearing other peoples thoughts on the subject matter so far. So feel free to do so if you have the time.

I have other grand news! I was a patron at New York Comic Con! Ah! I'd been dying to go for years and now I had the opportunity. The Jokers from Impractical Jokers have been here along with Tom Hiddleston and so many others. Over those few days I actually got my picture taken with a couple of other actors/actresses and some really great panels. It really is so exciting there. This is an opportunity of a lifetime so there's no way in hell that I was going to waste a single second of it. No one ever should with something like this. Ever! ;D

For future preferences I highly recommend that you all keep an eye out for when tickets for New York Comic Con are available for purchase again for next year. This is a huge event and you should jump on it whenever you have the chance.
