Hello everyone. Sorry for the long wait. Here is chapter 7 and I hope that you will enjoy it. Also, I realised that if I copy the entire 2006 TV series, word for word, then, it's going to take forever. So, from this point onwards, I will make it more simpler and create new dialogue while still using some of the old dialogue.
Robin and I had made our way back to the forest where we met up with the others and we began telling them about what happened in the castle involving the talk between, Robin, me and Sheriff Vaisey, although, he was our enemy.
Allan was among those that were sceptical about why we should trust the Sheriff and I didn't blame him, knowing, that this is something that we might end up regretting, but, I was desperately hoping that this was going to work since we needed to clear Robin's name.
I was sitting next to Allan and we were having our own conversation about the subject with one thing that kept on coming up, and that, was the fact Allan was repeatedly asking if Robin had slept with the Sheriff which I denied again and again.
"So, did Robin sleep with the Sheriff?" asked Allan for the tenth time. "This is the last time, I will ask, I promise".
"Also, for the tenth time, Allan" I said as I looked at him in amusement. "Robin did not, I repeat, did NOT sleep with the Sheriff".
"Alright, I just wanted to know" said Allan as he held his hands up in defence. "I'm not being funny, but, that is what I thought it meant by the whole 'pillow talk' thing".
"I will admit, that is what I thought" said Roy as he came to Allan's defence. "Pillow talk, in some cases, means sleeping with someone".
"You two may have a point" I said as I looked at both Allan and Roy. "But we still need to focus on convincing people that Robin is innocent".
Allan nodded in agreement as we, along with Robin and the rest of the outlaws, began gathering sacks of food that we intend to take to the village of Nettlestone and we, eventually, began to make our way towards the village when Robin took this time to explain my part of his plan.
I nodded in agreement to what he was saying and I handed over to him the sack of food that I had been carrying while I carried my longbow and arrows as I took the head-start to the village and I managed to get there while keeping out of sight of the people of Nettlestone.
Noticing a house that was high enough for me to use and high enough for me not to be seen, I, silently, ran over to the house where I climbed to the roof and I laid down in wait as Robin and the rest of the gang eventually made their presence known in the village which got the people's attention.
Robin and the rest of the gang put down their sacks of food which resulted in Robin doing a speech to try to convince the people of Nettlestone that he is innocent and he was, also, confronted by Owen, who understandably thought that Robin was like the Sheriff trying to use the people to his own ends, which Robin denied.
The talk between Robin and Owen was interrupted by the arrival of the Sheriff and guy of Gisborne, the latter doing his own speech with condemning Robin being a main part of it and I rolled my eyes in annoyance at what I was hearing, but, I thought that it could be another ruse to lure out the real killer.
It was during that speech when I saw a flash of movement and an arrow flew out of nowhere before striking a man down which caused me to get to my feet as I jumped to the ground before starting to run towards the location of the Arrow, hoping to find the person who shot that arrow.
Unfortunely, it didn't prove to be successful and I soon noticed a figure trying to make a break for it with Robin in hot pursuit as that caused me to join, knowing that Robin was having the biggest of chances of catching this mysterious person once and for all.
I ran and ran as I saw Robin managing to catch this mysterious person and I had a feeling that this was the 'Night-watchman' that the most of the gang had been talking about before it was revealed to be none other than Marian in disguise much to mine and Robin's shock as well as Much when he saw that it was Marian behind the mask.
She was annoyed at me and Robin, but, she revealed to us the identity of the actually person responsible for the killings of Matthew and other innocent people with the person being named Joe Lacey and he must have a good reason as to why he wants to kill the Sheriff.
The four off us began running in the direction that Marian was taking us and we came face-to-face with Joe Lacey as he was preparing himself to fire another arrow at the Sheriff which caused me to put an arrow onto my Longbow and aim it him in case he goes through with his decision.
"JOE!" shouted Robin as he aimed his arrow at Joe Lacey. "Put it down, put the bow down, Joe".
"Don't do this, Joe" I urged him in a calm manner. "This is just want the Sheriff wants".
"You'll let me do this, Robin" said Joe as he looked at Robin and me. "You as well, Josh".
"So, Marian has told you about me" I said in surprise. "Well, that's surprising".
After Robin asked Joe about why he killed the innocent boy called Matthew other people, that was when the truth finally came out and I began to feel sorry for Joe as he explained that his wife worked all her life in the castle and when she laid dying, the Sheriff didn't come and visit or sent food to Joe's dying wife, instead he sent Jordric because they haven't pay their taxes which resulted in Joe and his wife being evicted from their homes as well as the death of Joe's wife.
I really didn't want to fire the arrow at Joe as I believed that we can convince and prevent him from going along with his plan, although, it backfired as he aimed his bow at who seemed to be the Sheriff and fired at the same time as me, Robin and Marian fired him, hitting him the arm.
We watched as he rolled down into the open and he was happy at the fact that he believed that he has killed the Sheriff, but, to his horror, the Sheriff revealed himself while also revealing that Joe had killed the deputy before having Guy of Gisborne kill Joe as he laid defenceless on the ground.
