Chapter 7
They were surrounded. Robin looked around desperately as he drew his sword, trying to come up with a plan.
" We're going to die, Master." Much cried complaining like.
" Shut up Much, let me think." Robin yelled. He looked at his men. They had been in worse situations before. " When I say, attack with all you got. Then make a run for the exit."
They stood there awaiting command. " NOW," Robin shouted. They ran at the guards, taking there enemy by surprise. They swung their swords, and in Little John's case a staff, rapidly quickly knocking their opponents out. They ran for the main exit out of the castle as more guards pursued. Robin looked up and seen the sheriff glaring at him, hate in his eyes.
" What's the matter, Sheriff?" Robin laughingly asked, " A little upset about your tax money?"
And with that the outlaws ran for the forest, their home, in far better spirits.

As Robin and his men were in trouble at the castle Marian was just awaking, startled o find she was the only one there. I am going to kill him, she thought to herself, if he will not allow me to participate in these missions he could at least wake me up so that I can tell him goodbye.
Marian dressed quickly, knowing that her husband, and new family would return soon. She went to work sharpening arrows for the men, to try and keep herself busy. After what seemed like a lifetime, she finally heard the gang returning, laughing and making a clink sound with every step.
Robin couldn't help but to smile when he seen Marian awake. He took no notice to the glare she was giving him. It all seemed unreal still that she was here with him. His love and wife, forever more.
" And where, may I ask have you been?" Marian asked, knowing the answer already, especially as she seen the bags that loaded him down.
" We was at the castle Marian." Allan answered for Robin. Obviously he had not realized, as Robin had that she was joking and already knew where they had been. The gang all laughed, Marian included. " What? What's so funny?" Allan asked very confused.
" Nothing," Robin said, " It's nothing Allan."
After these few words were shared, Marian ran to Robin's waiting arms. This was the one place that she knew she could stay forever.
" Next time, if you refuse to let me go with you please wake me up?" Marian begged in a whisper. " What if something happens and I lose you? I want to be able to at least see you off before you start any dumb, and dangerous missions?"
" Of course, my love," Robin said. " I didn't think. I'm still having trouble truly believing that your hear with me."
" Well you better get used to the idea, Robin. Because I am not going anywhere anytime soon." She said as she leaned up to kiss him. She loved this because every time they kissed it was passionate and loving. She fell in love with him all over again. Remembering that they had an audience they stopped.
" We had better get this gold back to the people," Robin smiled. As they gathered up the bags and went to the individual little villages to distribute the gold to the good people of Nottingham.
