Hello There! Sorry for the wait, Here's the next chapter, 1342 words in total. Yay! Also there have been some changes to the previous chapters to make the story flow. I think I had Alan waking up, when he already had in the last. Also there was mention of another "Heir of Sherwood", Saffiya, in the first chapter. That was a mistake, it was supposed to be Danny. As always please review, specially on Danny's character. :D FelizNavidad

Danny walked away from the image of his grandfather, and continued his search for the camp. He ran a hand through his dark hair, how was he supposed to change the time line if he couldn't find the camp.

'A mile up the north road and to the right.' He said to himself.

He went back up the road a bit and then walked down again, hoping to see something he might have missed.

'Why couldn't they have waited? Marian and John both knew where the camp was, I wonder if Alana and Very got lost to.'

Danny sighed and went to sit on a rock by the side of the road. Danny was tired; jumping through time took a toll on its travelers. Especially since it had been nearly dark when he left. He held his head in a hand and picked up small pebble off the woody floor. The pebble was so simple and uncomplicated; it never had to control time. Not to mention find the stupid hidden camp, he had no idea how to find. It wasn't as if he could stop and ask for directions. Then something dawned on him.

"Marian's Mother!" he yelled and jumped up.

Then another thought crushed the epiphany. 'Oh wait, I don't know where Knighton is' he thought disgruntled. Then again he could ask for direction to Knighton. With that he went back up the road towards Nottingham. Danny was also getting tired of the frozen landscape, and unfroze the time stream. He felt relieved as he felt a wind ruffle though the trees.

'Much better.' He thought. Running back along the path, he wondered who he could ask. Marians grandfather was the past sheriff of Nottingham, someone would know.

5 minutes later….

"Excuse me! Excuse me sir! You wouldn't happen to know where Knighton hall is, would you."

Danny was apprehensive asking Guy of Gisbourne, but after nearly the entire town refused to answer, Danny was at a loss of what to do. Guy of Gisbourne slowly turned around, looking as intimidating as ever. Danny merely stood and waited for answer, annoyed, Guy couldn't scare the Saracen time traveler.

"What business do you have at Knighton?" he snarled, seeing that Danny wouldn't leave.

"Well, I have a message for a Marian of Knighton." Danny lied smoothly.

Guy then looked up with interest.

"Who is this message from?"

Danny looked at Guy trying to look offended while thinking of something that sounded realistic. "Her cousin, from up in Scotland." He said, hoping Marian II had spun a similar story.

"What does this message contain?" Guy asked curiously.

Danny pulled a face, "Pardon sir, but its Lady Marian's message. Its not your business, no offence to you".

Guy looked affronted. "I believe that it is my business, Marian and her Father are under house arrest."

Danny looked genuinely surprised. 'Oh Right! Forgot about that.' Danny cursed Marian and John again for leaving him.

"I didn't know sir. Is she still aloud to receive the message?" he asked.

Guy looked down, dismally. He looked back at his guard and came closer to Danny. "No she is not." He said so the guard couldn't hear. "However, if you were…" he paused "Put a good word in for me, with the lady Marian, I will allow you to deliver it."

Danny remembered this, Guy was obsessed with his friend's mother. "Well, I'll try sir." Danny lied again. Guy nodded. "GUARD! Take this runt to Lady Marian."

'Runt!' Danny thought to himself. 'Just you wait, Guy. You won't be thinking that much longer.'

The guard scurried over to him. "Yes sir, of course sir." Guy turned back to him. "Don't forget our part of the deal." Danny was tempted to snort as he made his way to the castle with the guard. There wasn't even a way to tell whether he told Marian's mother or not.

"Keep up, scum!" The guard yelled and Danny just kept quiet. Walking down the corridors, Danny took in the dark stonewalls. Danny yawned once again remembering he hadn't slept in so long 'Stupid time lag.' The guard came up to a door and knocked.

"Lady Marian, Message for you." The guard yelled, bringing Danny out of a daze. The door opened to reveal his Marians mother and Danny was momentarily stunned at the resemblance.

"Whose it from?" she asked.

The guard tried to push Danny forward but he did not move, having been toughened up over the years.

"Danny… um, Bottoms." He said in a hurry, but instantly regretted it. 'Danny Bottoms! What in Allah's name is wrong with me! Ugh, it is not a good day…' The guard glared at Danny, clearly annoyed.

"May I come in your room, It's a private message." Danny said coolly, getting over the fact he would have to live with the name for now.

The guard glared more. "Well, you better come in Mr. Jacobs." Marian said, kindly though her eyes were filled suspicion. "Thank You." He said as he walked in and slammed the door in the guards face.

--------------------------------

Up on the north road something incredibly strange was happening, although only one of the surviving squirrels got to see it. The air along the road began to shimmer and ripple like water. Then the air was ripped apart in a burst of light and out came an unconscious redheaded girl in camouflage, obviously not from here. The burst of light pulsed for a few moments and then closed. As the vortex sealed the girls eyes snapped open. Mara Markson looked up at the green branches of Sherwood's lush trees. She looked at it weirdly, sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Definitely not in the dessert, Arch must have actually worked." She said to herself. Standing she walked down the road and smiled. It had been such along time since she had seen leaves, and no sand. Mara was accustomed to weird things coming true, and being pulled through a worm-whole was one of awesomest. Mara however was perfectly content just to look at a non-sandy environment.

"…And were not going over that again, ever" Marian II said tiredly.

Over the course of the last twenty minutes the time-travelers had just had to explain their story three times in a row. The first time to the gang, second time to Allan, and the third to Allan again because he wasn't listening to the second time.

"Yes, and if any of you asks because you weren't listening, I will run them through with a nice shiny sword." Alana added.

"That's a bit drastic, don't you think?" Much asked with a suspicious expression, still not trusting them. "Not after the third time we had to explain." Very muttered, even she was annoyed by the retelling.

"Well, that still doesn't explain how I got out of the castle." Robin muttered.

"Ah! Please no more explaining!" Alana yelled putting her hands over her ears.

"We heard the sheriff had an outlaw named Robin Hood and we rescued him. End of story, good-bye, the end." Marian said fast. Robin looked at her with a searching expression.

"Wait, What did you say." Will asked, he was distracted after staring at Djaq. "Yea, I didn't quite catch that either." Alan said with a grin.

"I'm going for my sword!" Alana said warningly. "Now, now." Robin said, he to was smiling. "No need for that. Thank you for you help, now how can we help you?" The future children looked at each other. "Well, we were outlawed in are own lands. Can we stay here with you?" Marian asked hopefully. "Are you sure?" Robin asked.

"Course, " Alana said. "As long as we don't have to explain anything else." At her voice, they all thought: 'Please don't ask how we found the camp.'

Will spoke up, "Well, I'm sure I could fix up a couple more bunks. The more people we have, the more hell we can create for the Sheriff." Very beamed, it worked. "Hey, wait." Alana said looking around. "We don't have Danny." Marian looked like she had seen a ghost. "Oh, Crud. He's going to kill me…"
