ENJOY!!!!!!!!-----------------------------------------Your pov--------------------------------
You were traveling through the forest with your lady-in-waiting. She was heaving. Her cheeks were pink. "Master can't we stop just for one moment?" she begged. You shook your head. A hood covered your head, a bandana covered your mouth and part of your nose. You were wearing black boots with pants tucked in. Your cape/hood was brown. Your face was shrouded. Your lady-in-waiting looked at you stubbornly and said, "Master, why must you wear that thing? It is most unbecoming of you. You should show your face proudly, not hide it in shadows." You just shook your head yet again. You didn't want to speak, after all what if someone recognized your voice? You'd both be in trouble. Your lady-in-waiting was fretful. The only reason you had brought her was because she insisted that you needed company. Her hair was a light redish color. It was up in a sophisticated bun, that was messy. Her eyes were a gentle hazel color. She wore peasants cloths that were tattered and worn. Her name is Viola.
You were traveling through the forest on a horse. A woodencart was behind you. You didn't know what it contained but Viola had insisted that you bring it along on your journey. A tarp covered the unknown contents. Lumps stood up awkwardly from it. You had only been traveling a couple of days, knights had already spotted the two of you, you had been forced to fight. You remembered the way your had strung your bow and shot at them, pinning them to trees. Viola had cowered at your feet like a good woman should at the foot of her man. You had run away from your father, and any hope of living a somewhat normal life. Viola chose that time to interrupt your thoughts, "I heard rumors that outlaws are supposed to be in this here forest. I even heard that Robin Hood is supposed to live here too!" her voice trembled a little as she spoke. You stopped the horse and got down. You made a shrugging motion and then a drinking motion. Viola sighed, "Alright go get some water then, I'll watch the cart."
You walked away towards the river bending over to refill the waterskins. Trees blocked your view of Viola and the cart.
--------------------------------------------Viola's pov---------------------------
Viola was patting the horses head. The trees blocked the view of the river. The horse made a nervous whinnying sound. Viola turned around quickly. Men were walking towards her slowly. Bows gripped in their hands. There were about 6 of them. Some of them had swords pointed towards her. One man was holding a silver axe. Viola took a step back. The man in front started to speak. "This is an ambush! Now, we'll only take 10% of your money, but if you lie or try to run away we take all of it!" Viola nodded her head frightenedly. The front man stepped in front of Viola. He spoke softly, "You know, it's not safe here for a woman to travel alone." But Viola wasn't paying any attention. She just saw a person creep up around the trees behind the men in the back. A smile crept up to her lips. It was her master! She just wanted to keep this man talking. "Well, I can take care of myself thanks." Viola said stubbornly. The man chuckled.
------------------------------------------Your pov-------------------------------
You had filled the waterskins and had walked back to the area. You were surprised to see that men were circling Viola and the cart. Some men were holding Bows, some were thrusting out swords, and one man was even holding out an axe! You made sure your bandana was on tight and crept through the bushes to the man who was holding the axe. His back was towards you. You grabbed a nearby log. With a thump the man went down. A man standing nearby heard him drop. "Will!" he shouted. Everyone turned their heads towards you. Oh great, and here I was hoping that they would come quietly! You kicked the nearby man in the groin {Ouch!} and while he was crouching over you double-kicked him in the side, making him drop to the ground. You knocked down 2 others. A giant came thundering towards you brandishing a stick. Before he could hit you over the head you caught the stick in your hands. You two were pushing up against each other. You realized you couldn't win when it came to strength, so you kicked him in the groin. He went to his knees. The man that you saw talking to Viola, apparently the leader, brought out his bow and shot an arrow at you. The arrow missed you by inches. He unsheathed a sword. You unsheathed yours. Your blades met in a fire of sparks. He whipped his sword as fast as lightening. You countered it with a twist. Several minutes past. Viola was cowering behind the cart. You flipped your blade profoundly, his went flying through the air you pulled him close to you. You sword rested on his neck. You nodded towards Viola and made a motion. Viola cleared her throat and said, "My master says to drop all of your weapons or your leader will meet the ground, personal like." Everyone dropped their swords, and bows. You made another motion with your hand, "My master says to put your backs to each other and hold still." said Viola shiveringly. You pushed the man in front of you. They all got in a tight circle and obediantly held still. The leader got in front. Viola threw you the rope, you caught it and wound it around them all. You silently tied it tight in the back.
"So, tell me, why won't your master talk instead of you talking for him?" asked the leader. Viola thought for a moment, "Because.....he's a.....he's a....he's a mute." she said finally thinking of a clever lie. The man rebuffed saying," Then why won't he show his face?" Viola had already came up with that, "Because he was caught in a fire, and so now his face is deformed." You almost laughed aloud about that. One of men wouldn't shut up. "Please sir, you don't understand......this is an outrage! I did not go for 5 years to the holy land to be tied up by the likes of you!" You chuckled darkly about that too. The leader spoke up, "How come I think your bluffing? If your master is such a good fighter than why doesn't he show his face.....is he really that cowardly?" That made you mad, you walked up in front of him and cocked your head. "I guess your face really is deformed huh? You must be REALLY ugly. I'll put you out of your misery if you want." he said mockingly.
That got you angry. You started to pull down your hood. Viola rushed up to you, "Please, don't do it master! You'll give us away!" You shook her off with a shrug. You grabbed your hood with one of your hands and grabbed your bandana with the other. You pulled down your hood and pulled down your bandana. You heard them all gasp. One of the men even cried, "It's a woman!"
