is Marian dead or alive, Marian haunts the dreams and waking moments of Guy and Robin only she can determine what she will do for revenge and how she will spend her time with Robin. expect the unexpected Marian is back and she is staying.

disclaimer: i do not own character original plots and characters are mine and i am not connected to the bbc blah blah

its all very complicated when the writing is in italics Marian is dead but haunting people when its not its ordinary lives or Marian is alive and not haunting if you get it and its not revealing spoiler for future chapters it could just mean memories of her alive!

anyway R&R

After that fateful day in the blistering deserts of the holy land the dreams of Gisborne had been haunted by the troubled soul of Marian who had died far too early. Her first appearance was in Locksley, Guy was having a particularly rough first night settling in, he himself was hot and clammy and kept tossing and turning and his dreams were disturbed by an all too familiar face.

Guy was stood in his bedchambers sorting out his newly cleaned leather jacket he glance up and out of the room onto the staircase and swore he saw Marian. She was stood by the stairs looking out of the round window before the first step. She looked over to him and laughed,

"what's the matter Gizzy shocked to see me?" she mocked him he creased his forehead and called for his guards but there was no reply "their not going to help you now" she smirked and began to smooth her pure white dress revealing her large blood stain surrounding the stomach area.

"but your dead" he whimpered realizing he had no weapon, Marian shook her head

"a knife didn't kill me a sword didn't kill me what will?" she asked simply

"I will" Gisborne bellowed he automatically lunged for her hoping to push her down the stairs but her body faded and he went tumbling down, as his heaped up body lay there Marian sat on the stair laughing at him.

"I relive those deaths over and over again, each blade entering my body and puncturing my organs, me bleeding to death in Robin's arms and saying my last words. I said I wanted him to carry on fighting I lied I wanted him to come with me for us to be together forever you see because everyone fights for a future and with out each other there is no future and noting worth to fight for. You stole our future Guy, stole every chance for you to have a normal life and me to be with the one I love and you can never be forgiven for that." he continued to lie there in a heap he looked at Marian guiltily

"please Marian help me" he begged , she shook her head and carried on

"you never helped me Guy when I lay there with the sword in me, you killed me Guy and now its my turn to kill you" she leant in and whispered in his ear

"time to wake up Guy before I really avenge my own death" Guy looked around the place and saw the building Marian and even himself fade until he woke up screaming in his bed.

He sat up in a cold sweat panting as his servants came rushing into his room there must have been something wrong he never screamed not even when he was in pain

"Marian?" he kept on whispering in the darkness, his servants look baffled

"Sir Guy she never returned you said she was a lost soul" Guy saw his servants looking upon his concerned and slightly angry that their sleep was disturbed

"but i saw her!" Guy bellowed he did see her but this was the reality of it he though he saw he and he was going mad with guilt.

" Sir do you need anything?" the servants changed subject to avoid conflict.

"no just go" Guy ordered and each servant left the room. The next day Sir Guy was uneasy around Locksley and going down the stairs after that nightmare he couldn't face leaving Locksley or being left alone. But he was for one moment but in that one moment Marian sought it opportunity to once again haunt Guy and in the one moment it felt like a life time.

Guy was sat in the grande room of Locksley by the fire guarding himself from the winter cold he was sat in his chair that resembled a throne and made him feel more important than he already was. He glance behind him and saw Marian smirking and approaching him moving her hips in a motion that if she was alive would have made Guy want to kiss her so passionately but this wasn't right and he needed to get away from her. He flinched in his chair and tried to get away but he couldn't move Marian knelt by the chair and smirked once more

"love what you've done with the place Guy of course if Robin was still here it would look a lot better" she mocked once more Guy swallowed his pride and tried to reach for her non existent neck

"stay away from me" he threatened this time Marian allowed his leather clad fingers to grope around her slim neck and she began to fake chocking

"oh help me please oh no Guy is strangling me" she said before glaring him in the eyes pursing her lips and letting herself fade away and then back again. "if you want me to leave ask, no beg" she ordered Guy had genuine fear in his eyes as Marian approached the fire and picked up a log and held the burning wood in her hands not flinching from the intense heat.

"please Marian leave me be" Guy begged "I beg of you" he grovelled Marian smirked and headed for the door but on her way lighting the curtain

"of course Guy I'll leave and so will you" Guy and his servants barely escaped with their lives and Marian stood in the burning ruins smirking sadistically just as Guy used to only seen by Guy she was torturing him and he deserved it. The only thing which scared Guy truly was that after Marian had disappeared the house was untouched and the fire never existed yet again Marian remained a figment of Guy's imagination.
