Chapter Four: Give You My Heart, You Already Own It.

Robin took Meg and Guy to the camp, much to the annoyance of Kate, who still was not dealing well with the fact that Guy, the person who killed her brother was allowed to waltz his way into the gang and she was expected to accept it. She did not.

When Robin explained to the rest of the gang that he and Guy would be going to York alone a ruckus ensued with protests that Guy would harm him if he had the chance. Meg looked Guy when they were saying this, expecting him to say something, he did not but he met her eyes.

'Allan, can I have a word?' Guy asked a little while later. Guy knew that it would be Allan he would ask to look after Meg while he was gone. Although, he always knew that Allan was not his but Robin's he began to trust him when he was his man. He was sure he could trust him with Meg.

Allan looked at him for a moment shocked that he had suddenly found his voice. He nodded to Guy. They walked to the corner of the camp so that they would not be heard.

'Allan, as you know Meg is going to be staying here while I am away, I need you to look after her for me, make sure that she is not doing too much, she is still rather weak. And that the others do not harm her in anyway if she is not in the same condition as when I left her, I will hold you personally responsible'

'Geez Giz, you must really like her, you were not like this with Marian, but you have my word I will look out for her, so will Tuck'

'I do care for her, so please do not let me down'

'I will not Guy'

Guy shook Allan's hand, they both moved away from the corner, Guy to Meg and Allan back to the rest of the Gang. Much was still complaining about the arrangements. Guy looked at Meg, he did not want to leave her, he was not sure that she would be here when he returned. He took her hand.

'I am going to have to go soon' Guy caressed her hand with his.

'I know' she nodded, 'please try not to get yourself killed, as you do not have me to stop you'

'I will try not to, I should not be long away, and then we need to talk'

'Of course' Meg nodded, but she felt that this talk would not be one that she wanted, she was sure that he was going to be telling her to leave, this broke her heart.

'All I ask of you, while I am gone, is to be good and try not to upset Blondie too much' Guy whispered this part.

'I will be good, but if she starts something I am not sure that I can hold my tongue'

'Gisborne' Robin shouted across the camp.

'I'd better go' Guy looked at her sorrowfully.

She kissed his cheek again, 'Come back safely please'

She watched him mount his horse with Robin, and watched him disappear. He better return to her she thought.

Meg turned around to the rest of the camp.

'So what do you want me to do?' she smiled.

RHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHR

The ride to York had not been a pleasant one, Guy was thinking about Meg and what could be happening to her, now she was alone with Robin's Men. He adjusted himself in his saddle. Robin was not very talkative but on the odd occasions he did speak he would not really say a lot.

'The toll' Guy looked at Robin, 'we cannot pay this'

'We do not have to but they have money won't they Gisborne?'

Before Guy could reply Robin was on the floor, the man who you paid the toll to was waiting for them to pay for their passage to the city of York.

'Not Today' Robin smiled.

He took the money pouch from the man, Guy looked at Hood. They both got on their horses and were soon on the way to York, this was not before warning the man that if he breathed a word of this then he would not be so lucky when they saw him again.

They rode to York; it was the first time that Guy had been there, he did not recall ever being here anyway.

'Do you have a plan?' Guy asked as they tied up their horses in a shed.

'Of course I do' Robin replied, 'well half a plan'

'You do not have one at all do you?' Guy replied.

'I do not' Robin smiled, 'but we will'

RHRHRHRHRHRHRHRH

Meg was sure that not everyone was happy that she was here, she had not even seen the tall one, John she thinks his name is, since Guy had left. Meg had been looking at the fire, when Allan returned.

'Is he still not back yet?' Allan looked at the rest of them. They all shook their heads, 'I will go and look for him' then Allan was gone.

Meg stayed quietly rooted to the spot, she was sure that Kate was not happy about her being here, she seemed to be glaring at her, every time Meg looked up. Tuck came and sat beside her.

'Are you alright Meg?' he looked at her.

'I am fine, just a little tired and missing him' she replied.

'I can see that, you know he will be safe don't you?'

'That is what worries me' Meg replied, 'he does not think he deserves to be safe'

Tuck looked away from her. Meg thought she may have said too much, maybe she had.

It was a few hours later when both John and Allan returned to the camp, both of them looked worried, Meg began to feel the knot in her stomach tighten.

'What is it?' Much looked.

'It's Isabella she is on the way to York she knows that Gisborne and Robin have gone there'

Meg suddenly looked horrified, 'we must stop her'

'You are staying here' Allan looked at her.

'I am not, if Guy is in danger, then I am going' Meg dug her heels.

'Oh so Guy is in danger we must all run and help him' Kate looked at Meg seething with anger.

'I do not think that we should run off and help him, he is in danger yes but I was talking about me going not you' she snapped back at Kate. 'And anyway do you not want to help Robin?'

'Of course I do, I just do not want to help a murderer' Kate snapped back.

'You have no idea to you' Meg moved closer to her.

'I promised Guy that I would not let anything happen to you' Allan replied putting himself in front of Meg bringing the conversation back to what they had been discussing.

Guy had wanted someone to protect her; this shocked Meg did this mean that he cared for her. 'I will kill him' she muttered, 'Allan, I will only follow you anyway'

'Fine, but if you get hurt, you are explaining to Guy why it happened?'

'Alright' she nodded.

They all made their way to where road that they had seen Isabella coming with some guards.

'You stay here' Allan muttered to Meg as the rest of the gang got into position.

Meg did not move, but she saw all that happened, she saw, Isabella guards be catapulted off their horses and then Kate knock Isabella on her horse and Isabella running back to Nottingham in a fit of terror.

Allan turned back to where Meg was, 'come on'

The gang headed to Nottingham all they knew was that they were not sure what state Robin and Guy would be when they got there as Isabella had already sent someone to retrieve them.

RHRHRHRHRHRHRHRH

Guy knew one thing, being with Robin Hood was not all it was cracked up to be. Guy was the one who was to be used in the plan; he was arrested because of Hood. He had argued that this was a ridiculous plan. Robin replied with I will come and rescue you. Guy on the other hand could not be too sure.

Robin had come pretending to be a noble, disguising his voice to make him sound nobler. He had managed to bribe the guard into letting them go, although this was punching and shackling him, and they had almost made it out until they got to the great hall.

On the upside they had found their brother, whom was by the looks of him deceitful and arrogant maybe he was part of the family. On the downside, he had sold them both out Robin and Guy, now all three brothers were awaiting execution. This was becoming an unwelcomed habit for Guy.

But he had promised Meg that he would be ok and that he would not try and get himself killed, he let a tear fall down his cheek, oh Meg he thought.

RHRHRHRHRHRHRH

Meg stood at the town centre, she had been told that there was to be an execution today, Meg did not expect the execution to include, Robin and his brother. The third person as she saw him come out made her gasp it was Guy.

The proclamation of their death had been professed to the people. The other members of the gang had just joined her. The next minute something was poured into the fire and smoke began to build, both Robin and the other brother were gone. As Meg's eyes began to focus she saw that Guy was still sitting on his horse with the noose around his neck. He looked fearful as this could be the time that he was going to die. She saw Robin take his bow from one of the outlaws he aimed it at the rope; it was met with another arrow which landed making a 'V'. Meg's head spun round it was the brother he had saved Guy.

Guy got off the horse and saw that Little John was in trouble, he helped him fend off one of the Guards extending his hand. John took it.

Allan stood protectively in front of Meg when the fighting broke out, she was unarmed, after taking three guards out, he pushed her into an alley where the rest of the outlaws and Guy followed.

They came into the clearing, Archer, the brother was with them. Meg looked at Guy, who had only just noticed that she was here.

'What are you doing here, I told you not to come here' He growled angrily.

'You were in trouble what did you expect me to do stay at the camp and wait for you to turn up dead, I told you not to try and get yourself killed, you did not do that' she replied just as angry.

'Who is that?' Archer muttered to Robin

'That is Meg, she well…. Is something to Gisborne, just what we are not sure yet' Robin replied.

'Meg, it was not my fault' he then whirled around to Allan, 'I told you to look after her'

'I have' Allan protested, 'she is still in one piece'

Meg looked at Allan sorrowfully, she was sorry that she had put him on the wrath of Guy, and she knew it was her fault.

The journey back from York was a bad one after being able only to obtain a few horses, it was decided that Robin and Kate would ride on one, Guy and Meg, because Guy protested that Meg was still injured. Archer and Much would have to share a horse, along with Tuck and Allan, John decided upon inspecting the horse that they thought he could ride that it was better if he walked along with them.

They arrived back at the camp, letting the horses go a few miles back, Guy had not spoken to Meg since the argument that they had shared in York, it did not stop him though picking her up and not letting her walk back to the camp. She tried to protest to no avail so she stayed in his arms with a scowl etched across her face.

She must have fallen asleep, because when she awoke she was back in the cave, and she was not sure why. She was alone in the cave she was sure of that. Meg decided that she would take a walk to see if she could see Guy. Or maybe if she did not find him she would have to find out where life was about to take her.

Meg walked for hours through the forest, when she came to the lake where Guy had brought her when she was hurt; she dangled her feet in the water. It was cool to her skin yet refreshing.

Guy had returned to the cave after having a meeting with Robin about what they were going to do with Isabella, he expected that Meg would still be there sleeping, but she was not. Maybe after yesterday how he acted when he saw her she had finally decided that she was better without him. This caused Guy to feel like his heart had been stamped on by someone, she would not just leave would she? But then again he had told her that he had wanted her to leave maybe she did not think that a goodbye was in the best interests of either of them.

Meg washed her hair in the river, it made her feel a little better, she got herself dressed, her hair was still wet, she would have to go back to the Cave soon and if Guy was not there then she would have to accept that they were not for each other as she had hoped. She bumped into Allan on the way back to the cave.

'There you are' he breathed.

'What?' she said.

'Guy has been running around like a bear with a sore head since he came back to the cave and saw you were not there. He keeps muttering I knew she would go'

'Where is he Allan?' Meg looked at him; she needed to get to Guy that she was sure; she needed to let him know that she did not run away.

'In the cave' he replied, 'he will not come out'

'Leave it with me, and Allan, thank you'

Allan went back to his business as Meg went to the cave, she saw him sitting on the bed he was rocking backwards and forwards, he looked worst then when she had first seen him, moving slowly towards him she saw that he was crying.

'Guy' she whispered.

Guy had heard her come in but he thought that it was his mind trying to make him see what he wanted to see, like when he had murdered Marian and he kept seeing her in his room at night. That had got so bad that sometimes he would see her when he was awake and was unable to distinguish what was real and what he was imagining.

'Guy' Meg whispered again.

'You are not here, you left'

Meg rolled her eyes, she touched his hand. 'I did not, I am here. See. ' she pulled his hand to her heart so that he could feel her heart.

He did she was here. She had not left him, she was still here. 'Where did you go?' he said.

'I went looking for you; I thought you had left after what happened yesterday'

'I am grateful that you came to York, but I told you not to' he replied.

'I am sorry that I upset you, but I stand by that I came to York, I could not just stay and camp when Allan told the rest of us that Isabella was coming to confront you, to kill you. I am sorry Guy but I kind of like you alive' Meg looked at him.

Guy pondered this for a minute, 'I kind of like you alive too' he smiled to her.

'Well then we must make sure we both do it' Meg nudged him.

'Meg, I have something I have been meaning to tell you' Guy looked at her he turned serious for a second.

Meg felt the knot in her stomach return, she thought he was going to tell her that she was going to leave, go and be a normal girl. She did not want that she wanted to be with him, 'Yes' she managed to spit out.

'Well, I was thinking that we should really try what we did before York more often….'

'Huh?' Meg said, she was waiting for her body to feel something, like rejection but her body did not move, it did not cry. What had he just told her?

'Have been listening?' Guy looked at her, 'I said I wanted you to stay with me, you must think that I am selfish for doing this, because I know I cannot offer you anything, and that I am a broken man. I would not blame you if you run now'

Meg did not reply she just leapt into his lap and began to kiss him, on the face, nose, eyes, she then reached his mouth and become a little more shy, he instead took over, he claimed her mouth as his own, kissing it hard and passionately, he could feel tears falling down her face, against his skin, they felt like they burnt him, he moved away from her mouth for a moment and kissed the tears away from her eyes, the salty tears continued to fall. Meg could not stop them.

'Why are you crying?' he whispered to her as he kissed her cheek.

'I am just happy' she replied. She moved back to his mouth and kissed him. They broke apart. Meg took hold of his hand. 'I am crying because I thought you were going to make me leave'

'I was, but when I thought you had left it broke my heart and I did not realise until then, that I could not let you leave, I would not have been able to bare with my life'

'Guy, I told you I was not going to leave' Meg smiled, 'I cannot think that you thought that I would'

Meg looked at Guy, her eyes were so full of love at this time that she thought it was about to burst. You hold my heart she thought.

Guy smiled at her, 'please do not leave me again'

'I will not' she replied.

He moved towards her again and kissed her lips, they made her alive and so special, while Guy was thinking that this was how he wanted to stay with her, kissing would be the preferable option.

'Guy would it be wrong of me to say that I always kind of liked you' she repeated the words that she had spoken to him on the night she thought she was going to die.

'Meg, I kind of like you too' Guy smiled.

'That is good' she smiled back to him, and kissed his cheek, 'so are we together?'

'We are together' Guy nodded. If together was the right thing to call it.

He could not believe that they both had admitted to each other that they felt something, although neither of them would call it love yet, it was something. They needed each other; they were drawn to each other.

'Guy' she whispered.

'Meg' he smiled.

'About Allan, please do not think I need someone to protect me when you are away' she looked at him.

His face fell, 'I done that to protect you, I thought that the outlaws would harm you because you are with me'

'I know but you did not have to tell Allan that you would deal with him if I was hurt' Meg replied.

'I am sorry I did that, but it worked he looked after you' Guy smiled.

'You have to trust me Guy that I will be ok, you have let me show you I will be ok' Meg replied.

'I do trust you Meg' Guy stated, 'I trust you and I know that I am protective over you but that is my job, I am meant to protect you'

'Guy' Meg laughed, 'on recent track records it is I who is protecting you' she kissed his brow.

'We will have to start changing that' he whispered, holding her closer to him.

Hope you like it. Let me know what you think. I will try and involve more Archer, Robin and Guy moments, and of course Meg and Guy. I thought that Allan should have been the one to protect Meg because he seems to be forgotten a lot during season 3 and that made me sad.

Any way until next time
