Here is a new story I started to write while playing "What If" with my cousin.
Summary: What if Rena hadn't gone outside the Camp in For England? What if she and Allan didn't make up till she was dying in his arms? What if Guy had started to make graps for Rena after Allan had become apart of Team Leather? What if Carter had stayed after Get Carter? The story of what might have happened on several different accounts. AllanRena and GuyRena centered, but also includes RobinMarian, MuchEmmy, WillDjaq, CarterRena(friendship), and CarterOC.
Chapter 1:
Allan woke up that morning in his soft bed in the Castle. It had been almost two weeks since his betrayal had came out inot the open for the Gang. And all he could think of was the family he had lost, the love that he had lost. He had lost so much because of his choice. HIs brother-in-arms, Will Scarlett, best friend, Djaq, and the only woman he had ever truly, deeply loved, Rena Locksley.
Rena. Her bright green eyes, her shoulder length raven hair, her figure of beauty. He'd betrayed her, but not for the reasons everybody thought he had. No, it wasn't for money, it wasn't for food. It was for Rena. Guy had threatened Rena, and Allan couldn't have sat back and watch Gisbourne kill the only person who had ever loved him deeply like he loved her. And Allan had vowed to himself that if he could stop her from being hurt, he'd do it. He'd switch places with her gladly and freely. He loved Rena more than words could say. He'd go through hell and heaven to take care of her. And he had and would have never dreamed of her finding out, until the day it actually came out.
It had been a beautiful day, and it seemed to mock Allan. Robin knew that something was up, someone was a traitor. Rena was the only one he didn't supsect out of the Outlaws as she was always under his or Will's eyes. The rest of the gang had gone, and it was just Allan and Rena in the Camp. He knew he had to end their relationship. He couldn't drag her down it would be wrong. He may end up getting kicked out of the Gang, but Rena had to stay with her family. Her voice tore him out of his thought.
"Allan," her voice said his name so sweetly as it rolled off of her tongue, he turned to face her. "How could sombody just betray us like this? One of our own? We saved each other so many different times, isn't everybody an equal piece of our gang?" She had obviously been crying, he heard it in her soft voice. "I could name why each member of our gang wouldn't betray us, so why would there be a need to betray? Money? Food? Shelter?" Allan fought the urge to blurt out his reasons. He saw her tremble and he fought against the instict of taking her in his arms and kissing her forehead gently and trying to calm her fears. She looked him in the eyes, as if she was trying to get into his thoughts. He hadn't tried to keep her out, especially after the night they had spent together after he had gotten back into the Camp. But he was blocking her now.
"Maybe... they just felt trapped. Like they were trying to protect the person.. or people... they loved the most and that was the only option," Allan stated. He had to tell her. She had to know he loved her and that he had done it to save her. Would she understand? Would she still love him?
"They could have came to-" Rena was cut off by Allan's voice. He had to tell her before it was too late.
"Rena," she loved the sound of her name coming off of his tongue. It was like he was holding a precious, breakable jewel in his hands, and if he didn't say her name sweetly, it would break. "We... you and me... we have to... I can't be... I can't... we can't be together anymore. I'm... I'm just... it's just not what is best for you Rena."
Rena stood appauled. Did he not love her anymore? She needed him to love her, she didn't know what she'd do without him. "You are my only, and will always be my only, other half," she whispered, putting her hand on his shoulder. His face turned with hurt. She had to accepted it, he couldn't just tell her why. "Allan," she saw the look on his face. Was he alright, "are you okay?"
"Rena, I love you. Don't forget that, but... I... I did something and it will see my end, and I am not dragging you down that road with me my love," he whispered. Something clicked in her mind. But he wouldn't! No, not Allan, not her Allan! He wouldn't have betrayed her. Yet standing in front of her was not only just her love and pride and joy, but the traitor, Allan A Dale.
"It was you." Allan nodded and sighed. She looked at him heartbroken. "Leave," she stated plainly. "and don't come back Allan." She spat. He tried to take her into his arms, but she pushed him away. "I HATE you Allan A Dale! Leave me alone, and leave the Camp for good! I hate you, we all hate you!" Allan couldn't stand her saying that and had just ran off into the forest. By the next day's end, he was Guy of Gisbourne's right hand man.
'I hate you Allan a Dale!' Those words shreaded his heart apart, though he knew he deserved it. He had saw the pain in her eyes, he had ruined her's first. She had said that she hated him, but did she mean it?
Rena sat down by the river, clutching her stomach. There was no possible way on Earth the news Djaq had just told her was true, it just couldn't be true. She couldn't be with child. It just couldn't have happened. She knew how it had happened, she knew who the father was. The traitor. Her old love. The man who had torn and destroyed her heart, the same man who had mended it from Gisbourne's damange. Allan. His face flashed through her mind. She couldn't be pregnant with his child. It just couldn't be.
She remembered the night, no matter how much she tried to forget, it wouldn't leave her mind.
Neither of them were drunk, they were just out taking a small walk in Sherwood, with the moon shining brightly above them. Allan had his hands wrapped around her waist, and had leaned over to kiss her soft neck. She had sat down, and he had laid his head on her lap. She ran her fingers through his hair, and gently twirled it around her finger. He smiled as he felt her free hand run along the outline of his face. That's when he asked her.
"Rena, I.. I love you, you know that right? And I know it's offending your honour, and I... I don't feel right thinking like this, but... but I love you," he stammered out. She got what he was getting at.
"You know I would hope that you'd ask me to marry you before you and I... well," She blushed. "But Robin would never allow that, and let's face it, the king might not ever return-" Allan cut her off with a small chuckle.
"Are you actually agreeing with me?" Rena nodded. Allan laughed again. "I can't, Robin would kill me for touching you out of wedlock." Rena shook her head and lifted his head so she could kiss him.
"Robin will never know, Allan," Rena stated. And they had gone through with it.
Rean thought about that decision. How could she have been so stupid? She let him have her out of wedlock, and she couldn't ever take that back. She knew dignity and honour, she had been raised with both. But, still, out of wedlock she had allowed Allan to have her. She looked down at her stomach. She was stupid enough to take this risk. And Robin would never forgive her for it. She couldn't even forgive herself. She was pregnant with the child of a man to whom she was not married to, who was also an ex-member of their gang, and now Guy's right hand man. Allan and her were going to have a child out of wedlock. A bastard. How could she have done that to her child? She'd have to marry Allan, she'd have to. She couldn't submit the child to that. It was lower than anything that could possible be done. But she hated Allan, what was she supposed to do? Kill the child. No. This was her mistake, and she wasn't going to kill the child for something she did.
She stood up to face the day and her life. She was debating with herself on wheither or not to tell Allan, and decided that it probably would be best if she waited. She was going to drag him down with her for this, she'd make sure he was dragged down by it.
Guy stood up in the Castle, before starting to move around. Ever since Allan had been exposed by the Outlaws, he couldn't help but to smirk to himself. Allan had lost everything and had gained back nothing. He had just been accepted on their side, nothing wonderful or great, Guy figured. However, he had lost something more vaulable. The woman that he had taken from Guy. Rena Locksley. Rena wanted nothing more to do with Allan since his betrayal became known, and Guy couldn't help but smirk. He'd still get Rena, she'd still be his like she should have been a very long time ago. And he'd make sure this time that he won.
He would make a plan and get her to walk solo into it. And he'd take her and make her his Lady Gisbourne. This time, Dale wouldn't take Rena from him. Rena would be come Lady Gisbourne like she should have years previous. She would be broken of her spirits and made into his proper wife. And she'd give him his heir and his children, wheither she liked it or not.
Oh... so this is the first chapter of my "what if" story. If I should update it, let me know!
