The sun stood high above the sky and was shining bright. It was summer. Everybody was happy and at ease at Sherwood Forest. There hadn't been any troubles for quite some time now. The children were playing at the pond with Robin and Little John, Tuck was at the meadow collecting herbs. Marion joined the friar, picking flowers.
'She looks a bit worried' Tuck thought as he looked over to the beautiful woman. He went up to talk to her.
'What's wrong Marion? It seems like something is bothering you.'
She went to sit down on a tree-trunk.
'Is it that obvious then?'
'Well… a bit' He went to sit down next to her. 'What's wrong?'
'It's Robin'
Tuck sighed.
'I thought so… What is it this time?'
'There's something wrong with him I think' she said.
Tuck looked at her. He hasn't noticed anything strange lately at Robin. He still looked like the same merry, healthy outlaw. But of course Marion was a woman, she could sense those things. And she knew Robin better than anyone.
'He's acting so different to me… like he's avoiding me' she continued with a sigh.
"It was true" he thought. Robin seemed to run off when Marion appeared. It had been going on for about two weeks now… ever since that girl appeared in the village. Sarina was her name. They'd saved her from sir Pollock. He wanted to kill the girl but then Robin and his companions showed up, saved the girl and the other villagers and Robin had taken the girl with them to the compound. She didn't have any family. But the miller accepted her in his house and she helped him with his work, that's when she wasn't around Robin.
'I wouldn't worry about it, Marion. You know Robin' He tried to soothe her a bit. He knew she loved Robin more than anything, maybe even more than she loved herself.
'Yes, I know Tuck. And this isn't just like him! It's like this ever since this Sarina appeared.' She looked up to the friar. A tear welled up in her eye.
Tuck nodded. 'Maybe it's just a phase.'
'I thought he loved me. I know he does'
'He does love you, Marion. He does.'
He saw her despair. He knew their love for each other and he had to admit: he really was convinced that they would be married some day. That's if they weren't going to say so stubborn! not if Robin wasn't going to screw it all up by falling in love with Sarina. Tuck putted his arm around her shoulder. She buried her head against his shoulder and silently started to cry. He tried to soothe her, but he knew it was in vain. She had admitted she had very strong feelings for Robin, but only to him. He was her confessor.
A silence mastered them. Birds took over and filled the air with their songs.

'Tuck? Tuck!' Robin and Little John entered the meadow.
'I'm here' he answered.
Marion stood up and walked away. She tried to hide from Robin, he shouldn't see her cry.
'Marion, you can stay' Robin said.
Did he just tell her to stay? She couldn't believe. He walked up to her.
'We need you too.' He said while he came nearer. He saw her eyes were red and a bit swollen.
'Have you been crying?' he asked. He hadn't seen Marion like this in a very long time.
She gave him a weak smile. He couldn't be worried, right? Not for her, not now.
'Why do you need my help?' she tried to sound as normal as possible.
'Sarina is gone' Little John said while he and the friar joined Marion and Robin.
Marion looked at Robin for a moment, then she ran off. Robin had looked so…so helpless. He was really in love with Sarina. She ran away from the meadow, into the forest, heading for the camp.
'What's wrong with her?' Robin asked.
Tuck gave him an anger look.
'What did I do?' Robin replied at his gaze.
Tuck shook his head and they walked back to the camp. At the way back Robin told Tuck about Sarina.
'She said she'd be going for a walk while John and I were with the kids. She'd be back within an hour.'
'Maybe she's already back. Don't worry now, Robin'
'She's gone for over two hours now, Tuck. She may be in trouble! She needs me.'
When they arrived at the camp, Tuck went to look for Marion, but she was gone. She'd rode off on her horse as soon as she'd arrived, the kids had told him. In her tent he found a little note.
'I know you'll look for me, but don't! You won't find me.
And you can't help me. No one can anymore.
I'll be gone, but don't miss me,
Farewell,
Marion.'
***
Tuck ran to Robin and Little John, who were saddling the horses. They were talking about how to find and save Sarina.
'Marion's gone. She left a note'
'Oh, she'll be back.' Robin said. 'We'll have to find Sarina. She needs me'
He didn't even looked at the note.
'What do you mean, Marion's gone?' Little John asked while he took the note and read it.
'She's gone...I think she means…' Tuck was catching his breath. He'd been running.
'She's going to kill herself!' Little John exclaimed.
Tuck nodded
'She's only bluffing. ' Robin said while he mounted his horse. 'She's just jealous' He said while he took off.
Little John and Tuck looked at each other.
'What are we going to do?' Little John asked
'I'd say we'll find Marion and then get Robin back.'
John nodded.
***
'Something isn't right about all this. Marion's right. It's been like this since we saved Sarina' Tuck said on the way. They'd decided to go to Robinville, to check on Marion's aunt. If she wasn't there, they'd travel further to her parental estate. They'd send some outlaws out to look for her in the woods. They were going to find her.
