However soon after the sheriff of Kent comes to Nottingham with a price on Will's head. Robin trying to understand what's going on and discovered more than one secret that Will had keep to himself.

Chapter 1

Robin sat back against tree thinking. Sherwood becomes his home and the outlaws were his friends and family – well maybe not Will Scarlett. The young man wasn't easy to get along with as he had a very short temper and a well know thief plus he like to keep himself company more than other people. Robin shook his head he doubt he would ever understand Will Scarlett. Thinking about him Robin realised he hadn't seen him for about a week and no one had notice. Or if they did they were not worried. Then Robin remembers John saying Wills go off for days at a time was common. Maybe he shouldn't worry...yet.

Will didn't return until the following week by then the other outlaws were wondering were he had got to. Some joke about it but most thought he had been capture by the sheriff and likely to been long dead or saying he found somewhere else to go. But they were proved wrong when Will limped into Camp.

Azeem looked at the young man he had hurt his right ankle in some way and he had a very noticeable black eye and a bad slip lip as well a some more bruising. This didn't stop John from grabbing Will but he stuff of his neck and shacking him. Even if John never showed it, he did care what happen to the young man he had know as a young boy and had try to knock some morals in to him. John wasn't sure if it work as well as he liked it to.

"Get off me" said Will angrily trying to get John off

"Were have you been?" asked John as he shook Will "You can't come and go as you see fit"

"You don't normally notice" hiss Will he some how mange to knock John off him but almost falling over himself but he mange to stay on his feet.

Allan spoke up "Of course we bloody well notice Scarlett, we didn't have to put up will you for two weeks"

Will looked very disagreeable "I wasn't gone that long"

"You have been" said Bull

"I didn't think you can count above three" said Will crossly his temper was rising and the other could tell. Most people leave Will alone when he was angry and not say anything to him for a while – until Will had calm himself down. No one liked being at the receiving end of Will anger. It was part of the reason he got his surname 'Scarlett'

Bull took a step closer to Will "Of course I can count Scarlett"

Robin step forward in-between Bull and Will. He didn't want to see them fight "That enough" He turn to Will "Have you been in a fight, Will?" It was clear Will had been in a fight. But Robin wanted to know what had happen.

"What is it to you Loxley?" asked Will

Robin sighed to himself Will wasn't going to tell him what was going on. But Robin let it go, it wasn't likely to cause him any problem in the future. Whatever happen to Will wasn't anything too big.

The next day Will was shaping one of his knifes when Azeem sat behind Will. "Are you going to tell anyone were you have been?"

"What is it to do with you?" asked Will

Azeem shook his head. Will was hard to understand. He was angry and that consume him. But he was smart as well. But also confused very confessed. And distrusting of everyone. There was a reasons for it. Maybe lot of reasons. But no one seem to know what those reasons were "You went for two weeks and when you come back you didn't realised how long you been gone"

"There nothing strange about that" said Will "We got no means of record keeping one days is the same as the other. It's easy to lose track of time"

"Who were you fighting with?" asked Azeem

Will got up "No one you would know" he said before walking away.

The outlaws were planning on robbing a carriage of the sheriff than was according to the source in the castle it was meant to be carrying large amount of money.

"Much, Bull you take the left side" said Robin "Allan, David you take the right, John the back" Robin looked at Will who were watching them. Robin already knew Will was a good thief – a very good thief. Robin knew Will would be a useful member of there team plus Will ankle was a lot better "Do you care to join us Will, or are you just going to watch?"

"Why would I willing let myself be killed?" asked Will rolling his eyes at Robins stupidity "It's likely to be a trap. The sheriff would never lets his money to do thought Sherwood like this not when he known your here likely to ambush him. I'm taking no part in this"

Robin wonder how Will know about what the sheriff did with his money. Robin could see what Will said made sense "So be it" he said carry on with his plan.

Will was right it was a trap. The carriage wasn't filled with money by some guards but not all of them were Nottingham's guards. The fighting started. During the fighting Robin saw Much was going to be attack from be hide Robin got his arrow ready to shoot when Will jump down from a tree on top of the guard knocking him out. Robin didn't ever notice Will was near by. Will got up a looked at Robin "I told you this was going to get us killed"

Robin was going to say sometime back but someone else step out of the carriage and walked up to Robin the fighting stopped as the man stopped in fort of Robin. He was noble man for sure. About Ten years older than Robin himself. "Well, well, well it's Robin of the hood. I heard so much about you"

"Who are you?" asked Robin

The noble smiled but didn't give a name then he's eyes fell on to Will. "I thought you were dead" he said harshly

All eyes were on Will "Sorry to disappoint you, my lord" said Will mockery giving his a mock bow as well. Robin wonders how they knew each other. Will has looking at him with pure hate and so was the noble.

The noble took at step forward "You slimy little toad"

"Please my lord" said Robin as politely and strongly as he could "How do you know my companion"

Will spoke up "That none of your business Loxley. It's mine stick your nose out of it" Robin wonder if it was because Robin use the word companion Will acted harshly. He knew Will didn't see them as friends of any sort.

Then they head the sounds of more guards coming "Lets go" order Robin as the outlaws slit up in different directions . Robin dragged Will away as he was giving a look at could kill to the noble he had to get him to talk. The noble was working with the sheriff and he had to find out what he can about him. Something told him it wasn't going to be easy.
