He was breathing heavily, the ride from Stratford had been tiring and eventful. He'd had to avoid the king's special guards as he made his way north. It had been too close, he'd almost ridden straight into their checkpoint and only a last minute tug of the reins had enabled him to veer to the safety of the forest.

He couldn't be sure that they hadn't seen him and thought he heard shouts as he'd galloped away. The sensible thing to do would have been to circle around and head back home. Riding for three hours with no reason though, was not what he had in mind, no no, sensible was not an option. Nothing about his life was sensible.

Will was a highwayman, the scourge of the traveller. No-one was safe from his bloodcurdling call, his pistols and his daring. If Will decided that a weary traveller should be relieved of their possesions, then that was what would happen. His name had become notorious among the upper classes of middle England. He had a huge bounty on his head, but was so confident of his own ability to avoid authority, that it didn't matter one bit.

Will had come to a stop near the mansion of the Duke and Duchess of Salop. A disgruntled former chambemaid had sold him the information which had brought him here. The Duchess was travelling alone this evening to London. Why she would make such a perilous nightime journey alone he couldn't imagine, and didn't really care! He hoped she was travelling with many expensive possesions and that tonight he would become considerably wealthier.

Steam rose from the neck and haunches of his magnificent black stallion, panting from it's exertions. Will dismounted and tied the horse to a tree, out of sight of the highway and the mansion. He crept silently through the undergrowth until he had a good view of the building. His information looked to be reliable, a coach was stood outside the grand entrance.

He watched for a while, planning his strike, weighing up any possible opposition he might face. The driver and another coachman looked to be his only obsticles and they would be no match for him. At last the Duchess appeared, in the dim light of the oil lamps he caught a glimpse of her face. Younger than he had expected and very beautiful, maybe he would have his way with her too, maybe he would enjoy her body as well as her possesions tonight.

The driver and coachman climbed into position and soon the coach moved slowly down the gravel path to the gates. As the coach's lights disappeared down the highway, Will scurried quietly back to his mount and began to follow the coach from a safe distance. They travelled in a convoy although only Will was aware of this fact. He was waiting for the right moment to circle around and appear out of the darkness with pistols flashing and his order....

"STAND AND DELIVER!!!!"

OOC - OK so I'm looking for a writing partner, it could be the Duchess of Salop who will find herself being robbed and violated by the handsome Highwayman, before becoming infatuated with the rogue. On the other hand it could be the chambermaid who turns up on the scene to help Will and who hopes to become partners in crime with him. A third option could be a member of the law who will try to use her womanly ways to bring Will to justice.

If Anyone is interested, please PM me with your idea's.
