Disclaimer: Wow I think I've done this already. I do not own Robin Hood. There are you happy?
Chapter 2
Marian moved quickly through the town of Nottingham, passing through the now deserted market place. The moon was only a tiny sliver in the sky casting little light on her destination. She turned down an alley and removed her hood. As soon as she entered the alley a man came rushing up to her.
"Robin." She said urgently. "The Sheriff is sending a-"
"Are you alright?" He cut her off. "You're late."
"Yes I'm fine. I didn't get the information I needed until right before I left the castle. The Sheriff is planning on sending a man with weapons to the cost to give to Prince John's men to use to fight the King."
"Well that's easy enough. We'd just stop him anyway even if you hadn't told us." He cut in.
"Yes but listen. They are going to have him disguised as a poor man brining the weapons to be shipped to the King." She slipped the cloak back over her head. "Its happening some day after nightfall. That's all I know right now. I almost got caught before I heard the rest. I'll meet you tomorrow night to tell you the rest."
"Here?"
She nodded and slipped the hood of her cloak back over her head.
"Try to find out what man and when."
She nodded again and crept quietly out of the alley before he could say anything else.
She walked back along the quiet streets thinking to herself. Robin always seemed to ask so much. How was she suppose to find out when it was going to be? She was almost caught this time. It seemed like he always needed some seemingly impossible task from her. Sometimes all he ever talked to her of was things he needed from her. She sighed to herself.
"Well I'm smart I can find the information without getting caught." She told the empty stalls around her.
"Oh I highly doubt that." Said a cold voice. Two strong arms came out of the darkness behind her, one going around her waist, the other going over her mouth preventing her from calling out for help. She struggled as hard as she could but the man holding her was much bigger then her.

"You don't know what you're talking about." Marian told him coldly trying to hold back her own thoughts on the matter. "Although I admit to helping him, we were never more then friends."
"Maybe not, but he has always led you on. He has always flirted with you and made you trust him, don't try to deny it. But you have been discovered as the spy. You can no longer get Robin the information he needs. What will happen now that you have no use to him?"
"He will come for me." She told him stubbornly keeping the doubt from her voice.
"Do you honestly think he will try to save you? Why would he rescue you after all? You're just a trouble and a nuisance. You can't do anything right. Look at your dear father, you can't even save him. He's rotting away in the dungeon for some stupid decisions you've made. The way I see it, he'd be stupid to save you."
"No you're wrong." Marian told him her lip quivering, the logic he was using slowly sinking in. She began to realize he was right.
"You have no real hope of getting out of the castle. I will admit Robin would put up a worthy fight, if he wanted to save you. But since he never really cared about you in the first place I find that very unlikely. Your best option is to accept my mercy and obey me."
"Never." She spat the word glaring at him with hatred. He clenched his hand into a fist and drove it into her stomach. Marian let out a gasp of pain and fell to the ground as all the air rushed from her lungs.
"You will do what I tell you to or you will be punished." He brought his foot back and kicked her in the side repeatedly until she was nothing more then a groaning mass on the ground. He then bent and took a fistful of her hair in his hands and pulled her halfway off the ground. He brought her face up to his and whispered in her ear.
"You will learn to obey one way or another." He let go of her hair and she fell in a crumpled heap to the ground. "You're pathetic." He told her disgusted. He turned at left slamming her door behind him. Marian lay on the ground for a moment digesting his words before giving into the darkness at the corners of her vision and falling unconscious.
A/N: oooohhhhh Gissy really lost it this time. But what will happen to Marian? If you want to know R/R!
