tarotgalHappy Chanukkah, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
symphonyflute! I hope you have a wonderful 7 more days of celebration :-) Sorry this story isn't done yet, but I'm going to post the beginning so at least you have a little something to read now. Yours is the only one I've started and I'm hoping I'll have it done by the end of the weekend at the latest. Or, hey, if you totally hate it, I can stop now and try something else.

Robin Hood opened his eyes and gave a start, realizing that he had not woken up in his own bed. There were four, tall, wooden poles instead of trees. There were silken sheets instead of plain cotton ones. And there were frilly, pink, lace pillows that he would not have been caught dead with. He sat up at once in bed, eyes scanning the room for answers and a way out. It was another shock to realize he was in a state of undress. Then his eyes snapped shut. “Hetchooo! Eh’TChoo!”
The door on the other side of the room opened quickly and closed so softly it didn’t make a sound. Instantly, he yanked the covers up to his neck to hide his bare chest.
“Hshhhh!” Maid Marian glided across the room with another blanket cradled in her arms. “My ladies in waiting are just outside. Do you want them to hear you?” She smiled. “Try to sneeze more quietly. Or, preferably, go back to sleep so that you do not sneeze at all.”
Robin could not have been more uncomfortable had he been put in the town square stocks by the sheriff himself. A million questions ran through his mind, and he looked around to try to find the answers.
Marian supplied one. “Sunrise is still several hours away. You have time left to sleep.”
His body desperately wanted sleep, but his mind raced. He cast his memory back, trying to remember how he had landed himself here so inappropriately in Maid Marian’s bedroom.

Hope you have a good, safe trip!!
