This one's kind of short. After 'Always', my oneshots just started to get shorter. 'A Clue: No' is quite short, as well.

Royston White was not happy at the moment. He had failed to kill Robin Hood and now his mother was going to die. He hadn't wanted to kill Robin in the first place, but, as the Sheriff had put it, this was a dilemma.
Or, rather, it had been a dilemma. Now his mother was going to die and Roy had no idea what he was going to do. Robin had promised they would rescue his mother, but Roy didn't think that would happen.
There was no way they could rescue his mother and themselves. Somebody was going to get hurt. Maybe even killed.
"Right, gang, time to go!" Robin said, obviously trying to stay cheerful even though the gang's mood was grim.
They gathered their weapons and set off. Not even Allan was talking. They all had started to bear an emotional resemblance to Will or Little John.
Once they got to the castle, they were just in time to see the hangman put a noose around his mother's neck. Robin shot the hangman, and then helped his mother down. Roy helped the others with the battle against guards.
Just when it seemed they might have a chance of getting away, more guards poured in. Roy knew what he should do, and he wasn't looking forward to it, but it was the right thing.
Roy broke away from the group and headed toward the steps. Just as he expected, most of the guards followed him, their swords drawn.
Roy stood with his back to the door, wondering if he should say something. It probably would be nice if he did, so he decided to.
"My name is Royston White and I fight for Robin Hood and King Richard!" the guards came closer. "My name is Royston White and I fight for Robin Hood and King Richard!" They readied themselves to strike. "My name is Royston White and I fight for Robin Hood and King Richard!" the first sword stabbed him. "MY NAME IS ROYSTON WHITE AND I FIGHT FOR ROBIN HOOD AND KING RICHARD!" The swords came at random intervals now, peppering his body with holes. "My name is Royston White and I fight for Robin Hood and King Richard." He was finding it extremely hard to breathe now. "My name is Royston White and I fight for Robin Hood and King Richard." His vision began to cloud over, and he had to force himself to utter his last words. "My….name…..is…..Roy….."
And before he could finish his last sentence (or even his name), Royston White died.

I didn't like this one very much. Roy's death wasn't my favorite part at all in the show.
