Once again Robin spent a whole day sitting in his corner, not moving, not eating.

Gisborne was genuinely worried. It was a strange feeling and one he normally only felt towards Marian, but now he was finding himself desperate to help Robin, his enemy for so many years, since childhood.

It had been quiet all day which is why a slight shuffling sound in the corner startled Gisborne. He looked up to see Robin lying on his stomach.

"You alright?"

"Yeah."

That was knew, Robin, talking. Normally Gisborne couldn't get him to stop.

"I'm just tired, that's all."

"You should sleep, seeing as you haven't in about five days."

Robin nodded his head but before he was allowed to fall into a fitful slumber the sheriff came down the stairs followed by two guards who were dragging someone, concealed by a cloth.

"Now see here Robin Hood, I believed you to have given up, but Victor wasn't so sure. Have you lost all hope by chance?"

Robin looked up with a slight smirk on his face, "In your dreams."

"Too bad, that would have made my job easier, I could have just left." He motioned to the guard who stepped forward and shoved the hidden person towards the cell.

"Who is that?" Gisborne demanded.

"That is the one and only, Lady Marian."

The hood came off and Marians face was lit by the dim light of the jail. Even in the dark Robin could see that she was dirty and streams of water lined her face as if she'd been crying.

"What have you done?!" Gisborne demanded.

"I haven't done anything. My guard on the other hand, well he was a little busy this afternoon."

"Why?" Was all Robin said. He didn't yell, he didn't really have to, his icy stare expressed all the venom needed to show the sheriff how angry he was.

"We wanted to know if you were still attached to her like a little puppy. We know Gisborne is, but you we weren't positive about." Vaisey sneered, showing all his filthy teeth.

"When I get out of here I am going to kill you."

"Talk talk talk talk talk, that is all you do. Act, no never. Just talk."

"She is a women!" Gisborne shouted.

"And that makes her different from everyone els does it? A clue, no! She knows pain just like the rest of us."

Robin rolled his eyes. "And what about you sheriff, do you know pain, true pain? Do you know what it feels like to have your world wrenched away from you, and your life turned upside down? Do you know how it feels to loose the thing you hold most dear?"

"No, but that would be because I do not care about anything."

"Really?" Robin stared keeping his eyes fixed on the sheriff, "I am sure deep down there is something you care for. Something you cannot possibly survive without."

Vaisey shuffled his feet uncomfortably. "Well get on with it!" He yelled at the guard for lack of something better to do.

The guard forced Marian to turn so her back was facing the cell, and he yanked her shirt up so her skin was revealed.

The sight was repulsive, deep red marks all around, blood still oozing out.

Robin stared his mouth agape. "You, how could you?"

"It was rather simple actually. Oh, and she's been staying in a tower, just to let you know. I thought you would like the information."

"Sheriff you monster!" Gisborne shouted.

"Oh yes, I am doing wonderfully aren't I?" The sheriff grinned once more before leaving with a snap of his fingers. The guard followed, dragging Marian with.

"No." Robin whimpered.

Guy could not think of anything to say, he knew Robin still loved Marian, who wouldn't?

"I am going to get her out."

"Robin, you can't."

Robin glared at Guy, "You wait, you just wait and see. I will get out, and when I do, the sheriff better be watching his back, or he might get a sword through it!"

'Wait, did Robin just threaten to kill the sheriff?!' "Robin, you can't kill the sheriff, no matter what he did, or what he does, no matter how much he deserves it!" Gisborne yelled, returning Robins angry glare.

Finally Robin backed down, and looked at the ground. He didn't say anything for the rest of the night, and by morning he had returned to his corner.

Gisborne immediately regretted his actions, maybe yelling wasn't the solution to everything. But he couldn't do anything about it now, Robin had finally opened up, and he had yelled and been a jerk.

"Robin." Yet, he persisted. "Robin please, don't do this."

"Do what?" Robin mumbled.

"Mope. Sitting around has never helped anyone."

"I'm not fit to help anyone."

'Great, now he is doubting himself!' "Robin, you cannot give up hope, without you the world is lost!"

"Without me the world would be better off! Do you know how many people have died because of me?!" Robin looked up, his face showed his horror at the thought, his eyes began to water.

"Anyone who died for you knew the risks, and died in the hope that England would become a better place for their friends and family!"

"Without me no one would have died at all!"

Gisborne let out a sigh of frustration. "You do not get it at all do you? The people who have died for you, probably would have ended up dieing anyway, but they would have died without hope, without any desire to live. Don't let yourself loose that desire, because once you do it's hard to get back."

Robin looked at the ground, he was contemplating arguing back, but what Guy had said made sense.

They didn't talk at all for the remainder of that evening, but Guy believed that he may have just broken a barrier, a barrier that had been in place for years. A barrier that was held in place by anger, frustration and rage, and now that all that was gone, what reason did they have to hate each other? Sure, they still had many reasons to be angry, but that was all behind them now. They had grown up, and it had only taken the death of many innocent people, the love for one women and being locked in a jail cell all alone to do that.
