Chapter 2,
Traitor!,
"How pleasant it is to see you again brother." Isabella said, nearly in a sneer of disgust,
"What do you want Isabella?" Guy asked, surely if she wanted him dead she would have done so already but she hadn't,
"What any sheriff would want if they had an outlaw in their custody." She replied, as she rose from her chair, Guy could hear her footfalls across the oak floor,
"I am not an outlaw I am an emissary of King Richard the King of England, not his undeserving coward of a brother." Guy replied, lifting his head to show the disgusted look on his face,
Because he was blind Guy didn't see the signal Isabella gave the soldier that stood behind him, but he felt the punch in the face that followed soon after.
"Prince John is the rightful ruler of England and one day he will become King." Isabella retorted,
"Not as long as Robin Hood fights for King Richard." Guy protested, Isabella raised her hand ready to strike her brother, but she noticed no movement in his eyes, she then waved her hand infront of his face, but there was no difference.
"Don't worry guy I am going to do you a favour, I'm going to break the hold Robin Hood has over you by making him resent you." She said, realizing her plan would go far more smoothly,
"What are you going to do?" Guy asked, this was all he needed to be a prisoner of Isabella and have Robin desert him,
"Oh you'll see dear brother...no wait you won't see because you can't see." She replied,
"How do you know?" Guy demanded,
"I moved my hand infront of your face and you didn't blink you must've hit your head when your horse threw you." She explained,
"What is it you want Isabella?" Guy asked, tired of their little game, but mostly because of his aching head,
"You know what I want...what I have wanted for thirteen long years, and I also want what I'm going to pardon you for." She replied,
"What?" Guy asked, shocked that she would pardon him,
"Oh I'm not going to pardon you but Robin Hood will think I have, and when he does that's when we get down to business." She said, as she made a head gesture to the guard behind Guy,
The guard the raised Guy to his feet removing the handcuffs, but holding his arms behind his back, Isabella grabbed Guy's chin forcing him to look at her even though he saw nothing.
"I'm going to make you sorry you ever sold me to Squire Thornton." She said, as she released her grip, "Now let's go read the proclamation to the people of Nottingham." She continued, as she walked across the great hall to the door that led to the courtyard,
Robin and his men walked silently into the courtyard of Nottingham, where an unusually large crowd began to gather, Robin wore a cloak that had a deep hood, everyone else wore one that was exactly the same apart from Kate whose wasn't as deep. They mingled amongst the crowd and into the courtyard, obviously the sheriff was going to make a proclamation, they steered to the corner of the courtyard, hidden in the shadows so they would be harder to detect. They all watched eagerly as Isabella 'arm in arm' with her brother walked into view,
"You make any move to warn Robin who will most certainly be in the crowd that this is a set up, and the crossbowman behind you will shoot you in the back." Isabella warned, as she tried to maintain her smile,
"You won't get away with this Isabella." Guy warned,
"And whose going to stop me definitely not Robin he's going to hate you soon." Isabella mocked, "Do try and smile we don't want any one getting suspicious now do we." She taunted further, so Guy forced a smile, well mostly the expression he held when he had worked for Vaisey,
Robin was shocked and was probably lost for words as he said nothing, Kate was furious and so was Much, they had taken him in and he had betrayed them. Allen was disappointed more than anything, he was hoping that Guy would stick with him, because they both shared faults only Guy's were perhaps more grave, all Allen had done was join Gisborne, while Gisborne had hurt people and tried to kill the King.
"See what did I tell you Robin we should never have trusted him he's a traitor." Kate said, in a raised voice so Robin had to shush her,
"He's going to turn us all in we have to kill him now." Much said, as he made a move for his sword, Robin quickly suppressed any idea he had in mind,
"Let's just let it play out and see what happens." Robin said,
"See what happens look at him Robin he is a traitor I told you we couldn't trust him." John said agreeing with Kate,
Isabella unrolled a scroll and got ready to speak, as she hushed the crowd with the accent of her hand, "My loyal subjects of Nottingham I have a special proclamation regarding Robin and his outlaws, as you know my brother Guy of Gisborne was one of them, but now he has turned against Hood and is offering information regarding their hideout for his pardon, he is now free of any charges against him and will be living in the castle. As you can see there are still some people who realize which side of the law you should abide with, instead of abiding with those who would dare to defy the laws of this great nation. My brother has escaped any penalty that would have come with his capture, by offering to help in the capture of Robin Hood, however when the outlaws are caught they will suffer the ultimate punishment for their crimes, with no hope of redemption. If they had come to grip like my brother than they would escape death, but they continue to flaunt the laws that I the sheriff of Nottingham have erected, and they choose to remain convicted men. You may go about with your errands now with reassurance that one of the outlaws is now fighting for the capture of the others, and Nottingham will once again be free of fear." She said, as she then rolled up her parchment, and walked with Guy back into the castle,
"You did a good out there brother...take him back to his cell and cuff him to the ceiling I will be down shortly to have a word with him." She said, as Guy was dragged off towards the dungeons,
"I swear I will get you for this Isabella." Guy promised,
"Swear all you like it won't do you any good, perhaps you remember another time when that was said, mark my words you won't make the same escape that I did." Isabella said, just as Guy was dragged out of ear shot,
On the way back to camp,
Robin and his gang filtered out of the courtyard the same time as the villagers so they wouldn't be noticed, Robin was apparently still in shock and the others were fuming, only Allen seemed to still have faith in Guy even though the evidence was against him, Allen could sense there was something fishy going on.
"We have to get to him Robin and stop him from saying anything." Kate concluded, she was the first to speak during the silent trip back to camp,
"I agree he's going to have the whole of Nottingham on our heels before noon...you were going to do it with Allen so now isn't any different." Much agreed, but Robin simply remained silent as they walked into camp,
"As much as I disagree with violence Robin I think it is the answer to this problem that faces us." Tuck concurred,
"Robin we have to do something." John said, trying to get Robin to agree,
"You're right we have to stop him from saying anything if we don't he'll tell Isabella about the camp, he may almost be my brother but I will not support a traitor." Robin agreed, finally having said something after the long period of silence,
"Hold on why would Guy go back to Isabella she betrayed him he said so, and she tried to kill him think about it, it doesn't make any sense, one minute he wants her dead and the next minute he's trying to help her...I'm not being funny but I think something's up." Allen defended,
"What can't you see?" Kate demanded, Allen turned to face her, "He betrayed us we took him in and he betrayed us." She finished,
"I don't believe it." Allen said flatly,
"As much as I would like to agree with you Allen Kate's right he took advantage of our mercy...he took advantage of Robin." Tuck said,
"Tuck's right Allen we have to take him out." Robin said,
"Let me speak to him." Allen nearly pleaded,
"You don't owe him anything Allen he is a traitor and he deserves to die." John nearly yelled,
"Hey I was where he is once to you know and I changed I believe he can too." Allen retorted,
"He had his second chance and he threw it away, Allen." Robin butted in, "We go tonight and we take him out." He added,
"That's if he doesn't tell her where we are before then." Much said,
"No I don't think he'll give anything big away until they have established a greater partnership, like Allen said she has betrayed him numerous times and has tried to kill him." Robin reassured, "As soon as it get's dark I move out." He added,
"Shouldn't we all go so you'll be safe?" Kate asked,
"If we all go there will be more of a chance of drawing attention to ourselves if I go I can ask him why he did it." Robin replied, everyone nodded their heads to show they understood,
Allen wasn't happy with the outcome, many times he and Allen had talk privately, it seemed that Guy had taken Allen into his confidence as he was perhaps the only one who understood him the most. Mostly they talked about the ground rules and what not, but lately they had been talking about Marian and how Allen had lied to Guy.
Guy had asked Allen if Marian was still in love with Robin but Allen hadn't answered the question, they had also talked about when Marian had joined the gang. Allen had lied about where Marian had been, but Guy respected his loyalty, even though he found out that Robin had threatened to kill him, but Marian had protected him.
Marian had saved his life in return for his loyalty to never betray her, many times when they had talked Guy had confessed he loved Marian dearly and never wanted to hurt her. A rage had welled up inside him when she told him she would rather die before she married him, and that she loved Robin and was going to marry him, it conformed that she never really loved him, but Allen knew differently.
He had tried to tell guy that Marian did indeed love him, but he also told him that she could never have loved him the same way as she did Robin, because Guy had hurt people and Robin tried to help them.
What will happen to Guy now that he is in the hands of his sister? What is her real plan? And will Robin do anything about it?
