My first Robin Hood fanfic. A bit nervous, I´ve only recently started to watch the show, which airs no more, hopefully I´ll do the character justice. I don´t own anything, just borrowing.
Marian: What is he doing? Is he mad?
Robin: Yes. He´s in love.
Being alone never bothered Robin. Not in the sense of being alone somewhere, despite the fact that Much had been by his side for most of his life he had never once feared that one day he would be alone. Being the leader of the most known outlaw gang in England, he now spent a lot of time with them, but sometimes, like now, he was alone. He craved it. The silence and the stillness, the peace he got from the quiet around him. A break from the thoughts in his head driving him mad.
Still, there was something he could never escape from. Or someone. Marian. His beautiful Lady Marian. The love of his life. The one person he would risk everything for, including England. Including his king.
He needed her. And she needed him, he knew she did, even if she had not spoken the words. And now, she was under house arrest in the castle, with Gisbourne, while he was here, in the forrest. Thoughts of Marian and Gisbourne made his eyes harden. He knew Gisbourne wanted Marian, and would never give up until he had her. And that was never going to happen. Not in this life or the next, he would make sure of that. Even if he had to kill him.
Yes, love was madness indeed, and there was no cure for him.
Just a short look into Robins head. Did you like it? In that case I might be tempted with thoughts of another story about them ;)
