Not what they thought part 2

The Sheriff was sitting at his desk, as Gisbourne marched in.

'You called for me my Lord.' He replied depressed.

'Oh come on Gisbourne. She should have died along time ago. Remember what I said lepers. Now to business.' The Sheriff smiled. Guy looked up at the change of topic.

'Hood?'

'Yes. He will be heart broken at his dear, lepers death. So now is the time to strike. He will not try and help the people. And we need to show our power now more than ever. Now that the King knows our position is at threat. Prince John managed to secure Nottingham for us. So we have to keep hold of it. And can we have Robin interfere a clue : NO! Find him Gisbourne...and kill him'

Guy smirked and walked out of the room.

At the outlaws camp, no one could get over the fact that Marian was alive. Robin's smile had not left his face since he had seen her and that had been three days ago. The warm feeling was back in the camp. The feeling of family. Probably because Allan, Djaq and Will were with them. But also because Marian was there. The gang had planned to go to the villages and give money to the poor, something they had not done in a while. Marian was also coming after Robin and her arguing about it for a good hour. Finally when Marian won and put Robin in his place, much to the gangs amusement they started heading out.

Much, John and Allan were going to Locksley. Allan and Djaq were going to Knighton, and Robin and Marian were going to Clun. Marian knew that Robin had kept her with him, wanting to keep her close and protect her, also the fact that he had chosen Clun for them to go to seeing as it was the furthest from Nottingham and Guy of Gisbourne. They each took money satchels and headed of in their own directions. Marian liked being alone with Robin. Something that did not happen often at the camp.

'How have the villages been doing?' Marian asked.

'They were seemingly OK when the Sheriff and Gis...Gisbourne was in the Holy Lands but they need help now.' He replied taking her hand in his free one. As the other carried the money bags. Marian noticed his pause at Gisbournes name. Even though she was here and alive and OK the event of her death still made him shiver.

'What have you been working on since you came back.' She asked trying to catch up on what's happening.

'Getting over you.'He said sadly. 'But it never worked.'

Marian stopped and made him look at her. 'You never have to get over me. Unfortunately your stuck with me.' She smiled.

'Gladly' Robin corrected and kissed her. It soon turned into a passionate kiss. Which Marian had to stop knowing that they had work to do, causing Robin to groan and quicken the pace.

Guy stormed through all the villages trying find any sign of Hood. But there was none. He moved on to Knighton and when he found nothing there he was moving onto Clun.
