Part 1: escape

So, I will not start from the beginning, (mainly because I'm too lazy to write everything down :P) but let's just say that everything in episode 9 already happened: the meeting in the prison, Meg's complaining, their conversations, Guy giving Meg the bread, the famous 'is your life really that empty that you do not care whether you live or die' quote, Isabella freeing Meg, Meg's plea to free Guy as well, their second meeting where Guy mentioned Marian, and Meg's attempt to liberate Guy. All these and the small details I didn't mention, plus all the emotion and all the other cuteness, also happened. :)

Fear attacked Guy as Isabella cried out "proceed!" when Guy clearly pleaded in front of all the people to spare Meg, the woman who, for some reason, attempted to free him from the prison.

"She's just an innocent girl!" Guy exclaimed as two soldiers pushed him and the other woman on their knees. This was the end as Guy knew it. He breathed heavily, knowing that when his head is chopped off, that will be the end of him and the start of his torments in Hell. This time, he genuinely showed fear and tenseness. He didn't want to die, even though he himself felt that there was nothing else left for him in earth, so why should he live. He wanted to live because he did fear Death.

The woman, Meg, was whimpering, because she, too, feared Death. Because of her, Guy felt that maybe perhaps there was something left for him on earth, but since Isabella caught them escaping from the dungeons and condemned them to die the same death, that feeling was extinguished as quickly as a candle on a windy day. Why did this have to happen? He felt touched when he and Meg were having conversations in the dungeons, and she suggested the idea that there has to be some goodness in him. He was shocked yet also touched when Isabella released Meg and Meg wanted Isabella to free her brother as well. Why? Guy thought to himself. Also, she felt bad for him, enough to free him from his miserable cold cell.

"I can't let her kill you. I just can't," she had said when she unlocked his prison door and his manacles.

"You'd do that for me?" This was the first time in a long time that someone had shown such kindness towards the dark man. When they both got out, Guy stopped, touched her cheek, and smiled a true smile. "Thank you."

But Isabella ruined their moment. They tried running away, but Isabella's soldiers caught them.

"I free you and this is how you repay me?" Isabella demanded, turning her head towards Meg.

"We're not the same. I do things out of love, but you're doing this out of hate," Meg replied.

"How dare you?! I suppose I should be grateful. Now I know that the only person I can trust is myself. I'm all alone now."

"You put yourself there, Isabella!"

"I could say the same for you. And if you lovebirds want to be together, fine, you shall."

But there was no execution that day. Robin Hood shot his arrows at the soldiers. The ax barely touched Guy's face. The people who gathered to watch their worst enemy and 'the woman who tried to help him escape justice' die. Isabella's eyes flashed with anger.

"Robin Hood. Get him!" There ensued a small battle. The people screamed and ran for their lives.

Guy breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was not going to die, not today. He got up and cut his rope. Then, he did the same to Meg's. He got down and grabbed her by the waist to get her down as well. She was happy like him, because they were free from the ax.

"No! Guy! Look out!" Meg cried out as a soldier with a spear came charging towards Guy. Meg pushed him away and also herself. As a result, the soldier bumped into the wooden platform and fell down. Meg thanked God for missing what would have been a nasty and fatal wound.

Guy looked at Meg, grabbed her hand, and fled from the town. When they left the drawbridge, Guy ran into the forest, holding Meg's hand tightly.

The beginning is quick and probably rubbish, because I just wrote it, but it will get better in the following chapters!

Another note: you may have noticed that none of my other stories were gone. I am profusely sorry for that; there were some complications and they were deleted and I tried very hard to republish them. So, here they are. Again, so so sorry. I will try and make sure that the other stories and chapters are here to read again.
