This story is set after series 2, and ignores all of series 3 and the fact that Marian almost died in the first series and died i the second. In this universe, she left with the outlaws at the end of the episode whilst Will and Djaq stayed behind. This is set a few months after the outlaws leave for home.
"Will, no, come on, COME ON!" Djaq pumped her fists uselessly against her husbands chest. The sheets he was lay on were stained red and no sound came from him, not even a near silent breath, but still his wife tried to coax life from him.
"My lady... MY LADY! You must leave now if you do not wish to share his fate. I'm sorry, but you must leave..." The young womans voice was cut off entirely as another rally of cries sounded out from beneath them, the invaders were now close, only several streets away and Djaq knew that she had to leave, to finally give up on her husband.
"You're right Sharma, of course you are". Djaq slowly shut her eyes as a lone tear slid its way down her cheek. Even after everything they had been through together; slavery, becoming outlaws and living in a forest, rescuing a king from certain death and even leaving their friends behind to live a quiet life, they could not find a way to be together for more than a few months. And now Djaq was alone. Or nearly alone, for when Djaq got up and walked away from Will for the final time it was not for her own sake that she carried on, but for his child that she nw carried within herself.
She ran to the tunnel that her dear friend Bassam had built at the back of his once beautiful home. It lead straight from the house to the nearby port where a friend would be waiting to take her to safety. She only hoped to herself that Will's death had not been in vain, and that she would be able to find a way to deliver her message to Robin in time.
She turned to look at her soul mate once more, ruing that she would not even be able to bless him with a burial, but there was no time, she had to protect herself and their child, so instead she bowed her head quickly in a silent farewell and whispered "I love you Will Scarlett", before turning her back on him and fleeing.
Okay, I realise it's been a while (4 and a half years to be more precise), but whilst life has changed greatly since I was last writing on Fanfiction (I am currently in Tahiland for example), I suddenly got the urge to write, so here is what I came up with. I only hope I will have enough commitment to this story to eventually finish it! If you want to comment or review, or even tell me of any improvements I can make I would be very grateful. Thankyou!
