A thief for life || H&V AU - Will & Belle
Camp had split, the Merry Men going off in pairs of two or three, all except Will who had decided to go solo. “Don’t worry ‘bout me, I’ve got it covered.” He reassured a very doubtful looking leader, a confident grin plastered on his face. “You guys go, I’ll meet ya back here later.” Without another word or waiting for a reply, he picked up his gloves and walked away from the camp, deciding to go south and see what he could find on the roads that led towards the queen’s castle.
The walk to the main road was fairly short, a forty-five stroll. Coming up over the hill, the road came into sight and along with it, anyone who was walking down it. From his position, he could watch but remain unseen, of which the thief used to his advantage whenever he came to that road. A lass could be spotted not too far down, her golden dress coming across as royal-looking. Just what he wanted. Making swift work of rushing down the hill, he almost tripped at the bottom but thankfully caught himself and casually walked out into the road to stop in front of the lovely lady. It was clear he had no intentions of letting her pass, yet he couldn’t resist chatting.
“This is no place for a lass like you to be wanderin’ alone. There’s thieves in these parts.”
