Hay, I miss this story. So, I'm back…after like ten days…but I know ya'll missed me. (:
…
A shrill yell woke up six outlaws bright and early one morning; the yell of one Lady Marian.
"What the hell…Will!"
The Saracen shared an amused look with the blue-eyed charmer while their leader ran, like hell was behind him, to rescue Marian from whichever trap she had fallen into. Not far behind him was the carpenter Will, who had a fearful expression on his face, knowing Robin would likely chew his head off for letting Marian get hurt. Well, what was he supposed to do? Make a Marian-proof lock or something?
Will walked slower as he got closer to Robin's voice. He glanced around a tree and saw Marian hanging from a tree by a rope tied around her stomach. Well, it's not like it was the first time. He was just happy that it hadn't been the toe puller. Robin would've killed him by now.
"You really need to be more cautious," Robin said, grinning up at Marian.
Marian gave him a sour look and, bending towards her toes, grabbed a small knife from her shoe and began sawing at the rope, "Oh, shut up."
"That's not very wise; you'll drop like a sack of potatoes as soon as you cut yourself loose."
Marian ignored him, and concentrated on her knife. A few more strokes and she'd be free.
"Really, Marian, I'll get Will to lower you down." Robin glanced around the area and Will, for reasons unbeknownst to him, ducked behind the tee. But Marian had glanced up and saw him, and something in her eyes told him to stay hidden.
Marian cut the rope for the last time, and a small yell emitted from her as she fell. Robin sprung into action, catching her in his arms at the very last second.
And that's why Marian hadn't wanted Will to lower her down, because she wanted Robin to catch her.
You are the best thing that's ever been mine.
