Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Robin Hood. If I did then the ending of season two never would have even been up for consideration. Jerks.
Games of the Mind
Marian walked silently through the castle making sure to keep to the shadows of the Castle. She wasn't suppose to be out this late especially without a guard but she had a mission to do. She needed to find what the sheriff was up to. She could tell something was going on and she need to tell the outlaws just what it was as soon as possible. She peered around a corner but as soon as she caught a glance around it she jumped back. She pressed herself against the wall as two guards walked down to corridor only a few feet away from her hiding spot. One of the guards seemed to look straight at her, and she held her breath praying she hadn't been spotted in the gloom, but he continued on in the direction she was headed. She waited a moment to make sure they were far enough in front of her so she wouldn't be noticed. She trailed behind them watching to see if they looked behind. They didn't and they walked straight up to the room she was destined for. The Sheriff's rooms. She pressed against the wall and hid in the shadow of one of the many pillars lining the hall. The soldiers left the opposite way they had come, and at the end of the hall they took a turn in the direction of the out side. She dismissed her curiosity about what they were doing this late at night, as she edged along the wall to the doorway. She got there in a few moment and peered through the crack. She saw the Sheriff and Guy sitting across a table from one another talking.
The Sheriff had a sly smile on his face as he continued speaking about his latest idea. "…When the sun goes down we will have him travel down the north road disguised as a poor merchant. If he meets Robin then he will just act as though he is carrying his cart to the coast to be shipped to Richards army. The weapons will be received by Prince John's men to fight against Richard when he returns. No he will be dropping them off to-"
Marian sub-consciously leaned in to hear better when she bumped the door, causing it to creak.
"What was that?" The Sheriff asked sharply and Guy got up and went to the door and looked out into the hallway. As he looked around he didn't see Marian as she edged down the hallway disappearing around the corner and she didn't see him as he smirked and after turning nod at the Sheriff, strode down the hall in the direction the guards had left in earlier.
A/N: Sorry for such a short chapter. I swear the rest will be longer! Please R/R! I love getting feedback it makes my day! I obviously have no life.
