Lisa

Lisa nudged her horse into a slow walk silently.She was on the outskirts of the property planning to head through to the eskers.Silently she hoped the dogs weren't getting tired.If so she have to stop, and let them rest.

Sarah panting a bit waited for the others to catch up.She was having fun for a change.

Will Scarlet

Will let out an overlybored yawn. He had been sitting in the same damned tree all day long, just as he did every day and just as every day nothing was happening other than Robin goin out on his little rounds.

He looked down and fiddled with his bow a little bit. That was when he noticed the odd little team aproaching. He had seen many dog sled teams, but they had always been pulling the sled, and yet what he was seeing now was just plane odd, there were horses pulling the sled and the dogs were running around in the freshly fallen snow.

Will supressed a laugh and watched as they aproached. After a minute they had gone too far.

"I wouldn't advise going much further"

He called down through the branches shading his face.

Lisa

Robin didn't know some stuff about Lisa.Like that she was in a gang most of her life, and always was ready for a challeng.So when she heard a voice out of nowhere she pulled out her long knife that hung in a sling on her back."Why is that,"she called out looking for the voice.Little did she know this is where Robin lived.

Sarah rushed to her masters defense and looked around silently hair standing up.Play time was over.

Flash, and Sapire stamped the ground impatient.

Will Scarlet

WIll laughed, his bow aimed. He was not anywhere near as good at archery as robin but he never missed.

"if you looked down just infront of your foot you will see the snow has a bit of an... odd shape..... that my friend is barbed wire along with a line of beartraps."

He said this quickly and to the point but in a friendly matter.

Lisa

Lisa thought she saw a faint outline of a man in some trees."Why should i listen to you.Espiecally when your wanting to fight dirty,"she called out boldly.She wasn't even sure she saw him.Eyes narrowed silently.

Sarah growled angely.She glanced to see what the other dogs were doing.

Tame and Will scarlet

Will's smile vanished.

He leapt from the trees and in a flash he was standing in front of her, his bow raised, two arrows docked and pointing straight at her and Sarah.

"how am I fighting dirty. Everyone knows whose land this is. I am only protecting it. now, what do you want?"

-----

Rawn stared at the man he let out a low growl but remained motionless.

All the rest of the dogs had halted and now stood stock still, watching the hapenings.

Lisa

Lisa glared at him.She refused to lower her weapon.She didn't know whose land this was."You were hiding in the trees, and thats fighting dirty.I don't know whose land this is, and i most defiently ain't nobody,"she called out angely.Her blond hair fell at her shoulders were pulled in a bun, and that was a good idea.If it wasn't it might be ffalling infront of her eyes vision making it harder for her to fight.

Sarah growled."If the guy attacks Lisa kill him,"she said her voice snaked with anger.She walked closer to Lisa her hackles raised, and smarling angerly.She watched the man silently.

Team and Will

Will laughed again.

"Robin Hood ring any bells?"

He hissed the words a bit annoyed at how rude she was.

-----

Rawn snarled at Sarah.

"shut up, we aint stupid and we are most certainly not gonna attack some guy for warning her of somehting that could kill her."

He was clearly still in a bad mood.

The rest of the dogs continued to just watch, bemused by how quickly lisa and sarah had put their gaurd up,

Lisa

Sarah ignored Rawn too busy watching the man.

Lisa narrowed her eyes.Then she rembered the name."Of all the people,"she muttered.Silently she shedded her sword back up."Look all i was trying to do was come through here to get to Eskers,"she said.

Will Scarlet and Robin

Will lowered his bow and lokoed at her, perplexed.

"and all I was trying to do was keep you from gettin' all cut up"

He smiled at her as he put the two arrows back in the quiver.

Robin had heard the new voices and the barking of dog and horses and had decided to go check it out. He arrived just as Will was returning the arrows.

"well hello again"

He called to her as he emerged from the trees, pushing the breanches out of the way.

Lisa

Lisa nodded her head."Sorry i didn't trust you,"she said to Will just as she heard a new voice.Except this one was oddly familiar.Turning she saw Robin."Hi,"she said.She smiled lightly unsure of what would happen next.

Sarah lowered her hackles silently.Her snarling ceased for the moment.Although she kept an eye on the two men.

Team Will Robin

Robin Hood smiled and came to stand next to Will.

"I see you have met my proteje, Will Scarlet"

He patted the oyung boy on the back.

"what brings you around here?"

He looked around at all the dogs.

Rawn huffed adn returned to his sleepy little world.

Saam and LAyzer had taken to roll aorund in the snow off to the side. And after a minute or so Pweek had joined in and was jumping over and all around them cheering them both on.

P'roul was sniffing along the tree line.

Kwee and Parm were sitting together muttering silently and cuddling.

Khar was sitting next to the sled. staring at the horses.

Lisa

Lisa nodded her head."Yeah i guess i did.We were heading over to the eskers,"she said.She glanced at her dogs, and barely held in a giggle.She knew they were glad to be out from yesterday.

Sarah walked over to where Saam,Layzer,and Pweek where.She watched silently keeping her ears pricked.

Team Robin

Robin nodded and bent down. He took out an arrow and docked it on his bow. He then aimed it down at his feet and shot. A long line of clanks arose beneath the snow and the barbed wire Will had mention shot straight upward and into the trees.

"just the necessary precautions"

He said cheerily.

Saam noticed Sarah just standing there and ran over to her he tackled her and then got back up and smiled down at her.

:ayzer let out a giddy bark and hightailed it across the meadow with Pweek right on his heels.

Lisa

Sarah laughing playfully lundged at Saam.

Lisa stared wide eye when the wire shot up.That would of cut her,horse, or one of her dogs pretty badly."Thank you for warning me,"she said to Will."What are you planning on catching,"she asked Robin.Was it human or animal she thought.

Robin and dogs

Saam barked as he was tackled to the ground and then took off after Layzer and Pweek.

Will nodded and smiled slightly.

Robin was looking down at the ground a bit and then had looked back up to Lisa to see her reaction.

"anything and anyone that wants to get on my... er ... our land"

he chuckled.

Lisa

Lisa nodded her head."Looks like a good way to get something,"she said her cheeks growing warm a bit.She was runnign out of things to say, and she knew it.Maybe she invite them to go with her to the eskers.It seemed like a good idea since they just saved her and her animals."Would yall like to go to the eskers,"she asked glancing at her animals.

Sarah growled playfully as she chased after Saam.

Flash, and Saphire stomped their feet imaptient.They wanted to run.

Robin and will

Robin tensed a bit and looked sideways at Will.

The two men echanged bewildered looks before they both turned back to Lisa.

"depends on what for. Meanwhile, maybe you would like to have some coffee or tea or somehting?"

Robin asked politly as he took a step to the side to let her past.

Lisa

Lisa smiled."Okay,but what should i do with the animals,"she asked glancing at the dogs and horses.Would they be drinking tea inside or outside.

Sarah walked over to Lisa.She was making it clear she was staying with Lisa.As always she was over protective of her master.

The horses snorted.

Robin

Robin laughed and turned to start leading her towards the camp. At her question he stopped and turned back around.

"they can come too of course. Our home is open and has no doors, the animals can go in and out as they please."

Lisa

Lisa followed silently.

Sarah with a glance at the others followed.

The horses followed as well.Lisa would tie them to a tree or something when they get there.

Robin

Robin took them on the safest path to the campsite.

When they arrived he tied back both flaps and rolled up the sides so it was just a canvas roof on poles and was open to go in or out in any direction.

He then walked over to the fireburning stove and put a pot of water on.

"tea or coffee?"

He asked. Robin then walked over to the handade table and swept all the stuff off it so they had a place to put the mugs. He then brushed off one of the chairs and pulled it out for her.

Lisa

Lisa put her horses outside the tent.She knew they stay there.Walking in she took the seat he pulled out for her."Thanks, and coffee please,"she said politely.

Sarah walked in silently.She went over to Lisa and layed down silently.Making sure she was in no ones way.She wondered if the others would come in or play outside the tent.

A storm was blowing silently to the east ever getting closer.

Team and robin Hood

Robin nodded and was about to walk back over to the stove when Lisa's dog came in. He pointed to his cot with a smile, it was huge.

"your dog.. or dogs.. cna lay in that if they wish."

He said. Robin then turned back and made his way to the stove where he put a pot of coffee on too. Suddenly something seemed to pop in his head and he whistled, as if he were calling for someone, or something.

Rawn had followed Lisa into the tent he saw robin point and hopped onto the cot. Despite his large size he barely took up any room on it.

Only wiseheart, Kwee, Khar'pern, and P'roul came into the tent the rest of the huskies stayed outside and played.

Lisa

Lisa nodded her head."Thanks, Sarah go,"she said pointing to the cot.She turned her head to see why Robin was whistling.She didn't see nothing so she turned her attention back to her thoughts.

Sarah got up and went over to the cot.She looked for a spot that was opening, and wondered who she had to lay down by.Silently she watched Robin and Lisa.Oh yeah the best chaperon was a dog.

Robin, Much

Robin nodded a your welcome and continued with his cooking.

"would you like something to eat?"

he added.

A deep gruff bark eminated through the tent almost instantly. Soon after a large grey.tan and black wolf burst through the nearby bushes and flew into the tent. His large pink tongue lolled out happily as he looked about. This was Much, Robins most loyal lifelong companion.

,hr> Lisa

Sarah perked her ears when she saw Much."Hello,"she said.

Lisa smiled at Robin."No thanks i already ate,"she said.It was true because she knew she be gone for a long hike."So whats this stuff about take from the rich, and give to the poor,"she asked.Oh yes she done her homework.

Rabon and Much

Much turned around after grabbing a peice of bacon off the plat on the table that Robin had just set down. He swallowed it whole and then walked over to Sarah.

"hi"

Robin laughed as much snagged the meat.

"ah, wel it's there if you want it"

He took a pice from the table and began to nibble on it.

"I take it you looked me up? well, since I was a kid I have been goin all over takin things like coins to jewelry to pottery and giving it to the people living on the streets or that need help paying to keep their families alive."

He gestured to the shaggy canvas and cots around them and to all the old pots and pans. And finally to his handmade clothes.

"I live just like the poor people, but I prefer it. I figure the rich people have so much stuff and live in such luxory they can afford to lose a couple things once in a while. It does come with it's prices though"

He shifted in his seat a bit then. But followed it up with a smile.

Lisa

Lisa nodded her head."Thats kind of you,"she said.She smiled thinking of something else."Have you ever been caught before,"she asked.If he had, and managed to get away she be a bit impressed.

Sarah smiled."So are you wild, or do you live with that man,"she asked much.

Flash kicked out a hoof hoping to catch one of the dogs with snow.He wanted to play, but was unsure the dogs would like it.

team robin much

Robin returned the smile kindly. Suddenly the coffee pot beeped and he got up and went to poor their drinks. As he did so she asked him another question.

Robin nodded his head

"plenty of times, none of them easy to get out of let me tell you"

He picked up the steaming mugs and returned to the table setting hers down infront of her before sitting down himself.

Much nodded and looked over his shoulder at Robin.

"I live with him, but he lets me roam free"

Layzer, kwee and p'roul had all fallen asleep on the cot next to Rawn.

Parm suddenly felt a hard something smack his side and found himsef rolling through the snow. He laughed and got back up, shaking his fluffy, thick coat of snow.

Lisa

Lisa smiled when he asnwered."I'm sure they weren't,"she said."Thanks,"she said when he gave her the coffee.Picking it up she took a drink before setting it back down.

Sarah smiled."Have you ever been in a wolf pack,"she asked.

Flash laughed.Saphire kicked out a ball of snow aiming for the same dog."Don't forget me,"she snorted out with a smile.

Team robin much

Robin laughed a bit and then picked up another paice of bacon.

"no problem. So, tell me about these dogs of yours"

Robin's eyes flashed to the now wildly flapping canvas and his smile turned to a frown, the storm was getting closer.

Much nodded again only he was looking at her.

"yeah. but I was nearly killed one day and Robin found me and saved me"

Parm weaved in between the horses legs until he got splooshed in the face with a big clump of snow. He laughed again and used his tail to return the favor.

Lisa

Lisa was about to answer when she saw the storm."Oh no i got to get home.I'm sorry and thanks for the coffee.Hopefully i run into you again,"she said standing up.Whistling for the dogs she headed out into the ever closing storm.

Saphire saw Lisa and pulled the sled to the front for Rawn.Flash followed so Lisa could get on.

Sarah smiled."I bet it was fun.Oh got to go sorry,"she said following Lisa.She waited for Lisa to lead the way.

Team robin much

Robin jumped up in suprise. His face had a flustered expression as he tried to tell her to stay. But alas, she had left bofore he could say anything.

Rawn awoke with a start and slowly, painfully wlaked out to the sled and clambered on once more.

Al the rest of the dogs woke up as well and rushed outside and resumed their previous antics.

Much was about to reply when she jumped up and fled after her human. He watched her leave, bewildered.

Lisa

Lisa nickered to the horses.They headed out silently.Soon the snow was picking up so you could hardly see.The horses started to shy easily.Suddenly a branch loomed out of nowhere Spooking Flash who reared.Lisa screamed as she fell heavily on the ground.Her ankle was swollen showing that it was sprained.Her arm had a deep long scar on it that bled.Soon blood cresanted the snow.Her dark green emerald eyes stared at nothing showing she was uncouncious.

Flash stood over Lisa silently.Saphire came as close as she dared with the sled.

Sarah rushed over to Lisa barking franticly to wake her master, and call for help.

Bt

Robin watched as the snow turned from ominous to horrid in a matter of seconds. He heard a loud crack not far away followed by a scream and the wild barking of dogs.

Robin gasped and whistled a different whistle as he rushed around with his pack, shoving odds and ends into them.

Soon Will, Allan and Little John were standing at the entrance to the now closed hut.

Robin nodded to them and the group set out trudging through the snow at first but they were soon up in the trees. Swinging and jumping from branch to bracnch.

Robin finally spotted the horses and the many dogs all running around panicked by the incident.

Robin motioned ot the others to get the dogs and horses. He walked over to where the tree branch as and to his dismay he saw Lisa beneath it, unconcious and bleeding. He looked at Sarah and calmly asked her to back away so he could help her master.

Once he figured all was clear, Robin pushed back his sleeves ignoring the stinging cold he removed his jacket and wrapped his arms around the branch. He then took a breath and lifted the branch off the ground then tossed it to the side. Once that was done he went to Lisa and Picked her up, being extra cautious.

Lisa

Sarah moved glad helped had come.She followed Lisa.

Saphire, and Flash let the humans catch them.

Lisa stayed uncouncious as the branch was moved.She was still uncouncious as he picked her up, but her breathing stayed the same.It showed she was still alive.

Robin, Much

Robin held Lisa securly with one arm as he leapt through the trees back to the shelter, only this time it was different it was wooden and had wooden beds.

Gently, silently, Robin layed Lisa down on his bed.

He then took his pack off and grabbed a stool. He gently lifted her arm and looked it over thoroughly before setting it back down. He leaned over and pulled out a needle and some medical thread, gently but quickly he sewed the gash shut and then cleaned and bandagded it. He then went to look at her ankle, it was badly swollen so he took some ice from the cooler beside him and put it in a sack which he then placed on her ankle and attached securly by wrapping it.

The rest of his group soon arrived with the rest of the animals.

Lisa

Sarah immedietly raced inside the shelter.She raced to where Lisa was and sat down and looked up at her master from the floor.

Lisa's eyes weren't glazed over anymore.She looked at Robin rembering the accident."Are the animals okay,"she asked her first concern to them.She she winced sucking in her breath when she felt her swolen ankle.Then she looked at her arm.She sighed."Why,"she asked Robin referring to how he helped her.Then she went uncouncious again.

Saphire and FLash stood outside in the blizzard.

robin Hood and Team

Robin sat back startled at her sudden awakeness.

"just fine"

He said before beying interupted by the next question, which he was about to answer when she fell unconcious again. Robin grabbed a cool cloth and put it on her forehead.

He then stood up and swung the door intot he large shack open. He clicked for the horses to come in and then whistled for the dogs.

Lisa

Lisa woke up again to see the room empty, but she stayed awake this time.She looked down, and saw Sarah."Hey girl,"she said.

Sarah put her head next to her master's hand silently.Lisa storked an ear silently.

Saphire snorted as Flash went inside.She was still tacked to the sled.

Robin

Robin frowned and looked back at the now awake Lisa.

"hey there sleepy. I'll be right back"

He sucked in air and then bared his teeth. Robin then trudged his way outside in his already wet and iciclefied clothes. He quickly unhooked the horse and clucked to her to get her inside. He then also picked up the sleeping Rawn and returned to the heated shack.

He placed the shivering dog on the floor next to the fire and then walked back to Lisa whom was on his bed.

Lisa

Lisa smiled.Then she noddedher head.

Saphire rushed inside quickly.

Sarah looking saw Rawn.Silently she padded over to him.She layed down next to him to help warm him up.Silently she ignored the wet fur.Then she looked around for the other dogs.
