Nottingham -- Evening
___Today I heard that the Sheriff had imprisoned one of the Outlaws. I hope that is is not the Lady Marian, though logic has told me it's not possible, for if it was her, we may have been celebrating her death today, or would have heard her screams caused by Gisborne. He seems to be in denial that Marian chose Robin over him, but who wouldn't?
___I would ten times rather chose someone who is helping the people than hurting him, and Gisborne has hurt them physically as well. I am scared of him, especially since he haunts the halls in his leather uniform and permanent scowl. Still, I can see the tortured soul inside of him and wish one day he will no longer feel that pain, but what am I to do about it?
___Back to the outlaw. As I went to investigate, I bumped quite literally into Lady Daine Merton. She was headed in the same direction. If I am curious about the going-ons in the castle, I am guaranteed she is as well.
___Though we were unable to go down to the prisons, we did meet Lord Sebastian Mannering. He seemed friendly, though I don't know if I should trust him. He seems to have alternative reasons for being here other than just being a guest of the Sheriff. And to be a guest of the Sheriff usually means a terrible death will follow, or a plot will be created and quickly shot down by Robin Hood.
___Oh how I wish there was a Robin for me as there was for the Lady Marian. I would give up my title and comfortable surroundings, though my surroundings seem more like a prison at the present, to run away into the forest with the man I love! But it seems that is not the story for me and I shall be content to find a lord who is not too old and mean to wed.
___I better go now as the Sheriff will expect me at dinner.
Alice ___

Nottingham -- Evening
___Well, it turns out the outlaw was rescued after all. It was rumored to be the handsome and quiet Will Scarlett from Locksley. I was over joyed to hear of his escape, though it left Nottingham quite dull. I did have to avoid the Sheriff, though as he was in one of his many terrible moods. He is never going to beat Robin Hood so why does he even bother?
___On another note, I have not seen Tristan for awhile. He seems to be busy with whatever he does. I suppose it is odd for me to fall for a man who steals, but then two men from my village have joined the Greensleeves, one of which was a friend of mine. The other only an acquaintance. Poor Simon. Our last conversation was the farthest from pleasant. He had made his feelings for me very clear, and that I believe was pure hatred. It pains me to think that he could hate me for being rich and him being poor, and for forming an attachment with Tristan. It isn't my fault! Simon had never asked for my help. He never told me he was in such a situation that he had to steal to survive.
___But I refuse to think about him. He will only make me mad. I better go down to the great hall, the Lady Liselle will probably be waiting for me.

Underwood -- Afternoon
___ The worst thing has happened! I went to the Sandhill Tavern, hoping to see if Tristan was there. It has been hard communicating with him as of late. But instead of finding Tristan, Simon was there. I remembered our last exchange, which was far from friendly, but I still tried talking to him. Harsh words were exchanged and then I don't know what overcame me, but I slapped his. Simon then slapped me in return. I have a nasty bruise from that.
___ I then walked out on him, but Simon followed and he kissed me! I don't know how I feel about that, and I don't know I was guilty and kissed him back, but I did try to push him away. But just as that was happening, Tristan walked in on us and took the whole situation terribly. He would not listen to reason and in fact punched Simon!
___ I tried to stop them, but in my futile attempts, Tristan hit me. I fainted and the next thing I knew, Simon was by my side, helping me up, but then he went after Tristan. Was he trying to stand up for me? I don't remember anything. I fainted right afterwards.
___ But now I don't know what will happen. Tristan is furious with me and Simon is always hot and cold that I never know what he is thinking or feeling. And my own feelings for Simon, were they just the past overwhelming me, or had they never gone away? I know my heart belongs to Tristan and it has since I saw him in the castle that first time. But what am I to do?!
