AN: This chapter is where Robin returns but what will happen? Also Robin isn't an outlaw yet.
It had been a long journey before Robin, Lord of Locksley had returned to the village of Locksley. Being back on English soil seemed to be great for him. The dreams he had of him and Marian, he had while he was asleep always made sure on what he had before he went away. By now Marian wouldn't be waiting for him, in fact Robin thought that she must be married and had started a family of her own.
Only being back for a few hours, Robin was already on his way towards the house where the old Sheriff of Nottingham was living. The Nottingham he had returned to was a different one on when he left. He needed to know what had happened and what could be done. He already had one villager in the cells at the castle. Punishments were heavier than what they had been.
Arriving outside of the house, Edward opened the door and started shouting towards him. "Get out! Get away from here!"
With that Robin was surprised with what was happening but was more than surprised when he saw the familiar figure of Lady Marian.
"Marian" Robin said allowing a cheeky grin to appear on his face.
"Leave" Marian said sternly as Robin raised an eyebrow for a moment.
Why was he getting this cold treatment? It didn't make sense especially with the history they had.
"I just want to talk" Robin said keeping his gaze firmly on Marian.
"Leave" Marian repeated as both Marian and Edward re-entered the house slamming the door in Robin's face.

Standing in the doorway, Marian just looked towards her father for a moment as a weak smile appeared on her face. Inside of her, all her feelings for Robin was remerging. This couldn't be happening. She was going to start a relationship with Guy of Gisborne. She had a feeling. They couldn't stop the feelings but right now, her feelings with Robin was starting to creep in and she had to stop them before they caused any damage.
It had been a few hours since that first awkward meeting with Robin and Marian had not yet stopped her feelings for him consuming her. In the end, she decided to stop fighting them. They would go away. They always did, when he disappeared although she decided that she would go and see Robin first.
Going into the stables, Marian started getting her horse ready, knowing she needed to sort her mind out. She was confused on which person she loved and who she could have a future with? Each of the men had their own positives along with their negatives. It was just a case of figuring it all out.
Boarding her horse, Marian quickly rode of, knowing the one place where she was going and that was to figure Robin out. Once she knows what's going to happen, it'll be easier for her to make a decision- well that is what she hopes anyway.
Arriving at Locksley Manor, Marian swallowed hardly. No doubt this was going to be the hardest thing she had to do but in the end, it probably needed to be said.
"Lady Marian" Thornton said as the door opened.
"I've come to see Lord Robin" Marian said, just when she saw Robin.
"Marian. It's a surprise to see you" Robin said as he made his way towards the door, raising an eyebrow slightly.
"We need to talk in private" She said keeping her gaze on her former love.
"Very well come in" Robin said as he allowed her to come in.
Entering the house, Marian looked at Thornton walking off before allowing her gaze to fall on Robin.
"Robin, we need to talk about" Marian said just when Robin cut her off.
"Marian, don't. We can start of where we left" He whispered placing a hand on her cheek. It was obvious that Robin had missed Marian.
Touching Robin's hands, Marian pulled away, "We can't Robin" She whispered. "I've moved on."
Hearing the words did hurt Robin, but he knew that it would have happened. He knew that she would find someone else.
"How about one last try?" He whispered holding her hands stroking her face. He couldn't give her up without a fight. He had to try. This girl was his childhood sweetheart. His first love!
