Pandora's Castle

Chapter Five

So, as Robin and Marion were in the castle, they may have gotten a break.

The Sons of William the Conqueror were eating when an outlaw from

Sherwood Forest rode up to them and said, "Men, I have just heard that Robin

Hood and Marion and the others are holed up in Pandora's Castle and Sir Guy of Gisborne's troops are encircling the castle."

"But what can we do? That castle is accursed; no one who ever went in ever came out again."

"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" they asked in unison. "Gentlemen, I know you can help us for my name isn't Will Scarlet!"

"You are right, madama'zelle! I have another idea. Give me your sash. We'll pull a Rapunzel and slide down the window to the ground!"

"But what about Sir Guy?"

"Well, as long as we have our bow and arrow, we can hold them off till John and Tuck can reach our people in Sherwood. Are you ready?"

"As ready as I will ever be!" she replied.

"Then let's get started!"

Meanwhile, The Sons of William the Conqueror were galloping all over Sherwood, hoping to save Robin. Back to the castle, Robin and Marion were sliding down the castle, when all of a sudden........
