"What that's impossible," stammered Rosa looking at her injured hands and then placing one of them onto her neck, the cut was healing well but there would always be a scar.
"That can't be right," said a very shocked Allan. "Robin's brother and sister died only at two weeks old, their graves are just out of Locksley by their mother's."
"I know, that's what I was what said when I was told, buts it's true and when you get all of the facts and see the bigger picture you will believe me. That man who gave you in to the Abbey was the Lord of Locksley, the Abbey was many miles from Locksley so we didn't know who he was, so when he gave you in we didn't think much more of it. But three days later he came back, he saw a different person so not to arouse suspicion, as I was the only that saw him that day, but he went and asked to have two babies, twins, a boy and a girl. The two children he chose were two very sick and there was no way they would survive. But he insisted, he told us that he had saved many a child that had been very sick and would lose there lives, so the people he had been talking to of course let him have the children as they thought that he would save him but I believe that he didn't give them much care, only enough so it wouldn't arouse suspicion. Of course he didn't care for them properly and then when he got them to a physician it was far to late. They then died during the night. Those babies that died were not Fiona and Daniel of Locksley. No but you two are."
Rosa and Allan were silent and Gwyneth went to the kitchen with Alice to give her a blanket. "My own brother almost killed me," said Rosa trying to fight back her own tears.
"Hey he didn't know that you are his sister." Allan soothed his sister, although he sounded calm inside he was furious at Robin at all the things he done. Cutting Rosa's neck, beating up him when the gang had found out about him being the traitor. Allan was beyond confused and was getting a major headache. Rosa looked at Allan and knew by his face that he was really confused. "You got a headache as well." It wasn't a question but a statement but Allan nodded.
"Come on lets go, I think we've given Gwyneth enough trouble as it is and the Sheriff will be wondering where we are, he might even think that we've been giving out money to the poor." Even at a time like this Allan could still crack a joke, even if it was a pretty rubbish one. Rosa smiled and got up.
"Goodbye Gwyneth I hope to see you soon." called Rosa.
"Good luck young one's." said Gwyneth, baby in arms.
"Good luck to you and Alice." said Allan shaking one of Gwyneth's hand's slipping an extra coin in it.
When Gwyneth had shut the door and Allan and Rosa were halfway to their horses they heard a stick crack as if someone had stepped on it, they turned around but no-one was there. "It was probably nothing." said Allan nervously Rosa just nodded her head as an agreement. When they turned around they saw Robin aiming an arrow at them.
"That's a big nothing." whispered Rosa. Allan turned around and saw the rest of the gang circling them and swore under his breath.
"We found out your little secret." taunted Robin.
"What.. what do you mean," stammered Allan worrying that the outlaws had already found out that he was related to Robin.
"That Rosa is your sister and now you have got her working for evil people like the Sheriff, you have poisoned her mind."
"He has done nothing of the sort, my brother is a good man and I make my own choices." said Rosa, anger clear in her eyes.
"Allan a good man? He betrayed us for a few measly penny's. He disgusts me, we treated him like family." Much said.
"You don't know how much like family I am." muttered Allan to Rosa who smiled gently. Allan then held up his hands, "Look I don't want any trouble, so if you just go on your way and we can say that this has never happened."
"Oh I don't think so," said Robin pulling out his sword.
"Allan you can't fight him, he is our brother,"
"Well you know what siblings do, they very often fight." Allan pulled out his sword and the fight began. Rosa ended up fighting Will and Djaq whereas Allan was mainly fighting Robin, but would swing at John and Much to keep them away. "Rosa get to the horses,"Allan shouted. Rosa made her way to the horses while keeping Will and Djaq away. She untied the horses and jumped up on one. "Allan." she called. Allan looked up and saw the horses and quickly ran to his. They then galloped off to Nottingham. "TRAITORS!" shouted John banging his staff to the ground. The band of Outlaws gathered in a small circle in the centre of the village.
"Robin what do we do now?" asked Djaq.
"We go back to camp, its getting late." said Robin and with that the outlaws all turned around and went into the forest.
Rosa and Allan got to the castle, seemingly unmissed by anyone. "Come on lets get inside." They gave their horses to a stable boy and went up to their rooms. "Goodnight Rosa."
"Goodnight Allan."
"Allan, you know when I first came here, to Nottingham I thought it would be, another boring trip away, but then I found out I had a twin brother. It was the best day of my life because then I had a chance to get away from the prim and properness of my old life to be in this new one. And then today, well I do not know if it is a good or bad thing. I mean he has attacked us in so many ways but so have we to him."
"Hey," Allan soothed his sister. "Look its not going to be easy, but we didn't know and now we do, well we can at least try to make it a bit better."
Rosa smiled weakly. "Yeah I guess that its not every day you find out your Robin Hood's younger brother and sister."
"Well it's been a hell of a day, I don't know about you but I am completely exhausted. So goodnight." When Allan and Rosa had shut their doors two figures came out of the shadows. "Well I don't know about you Gisbourne, but it seems as if we have some bad blood in the castle. Get rid of it."
"Yes my Lord."
"Oh and Gizzy, make it as painful as possible."
Thank you for all of the kind reviews I have received so far, and all the support for this story. Sorry that this chapter is so short.
So will the Sheriff and Guy kill Allan and Rosa or will Robin find out that they are in fact Fiona and Daniel of Locksley. Only time will tell.
Again I am sorry for the length of this chapter.
