The sound of yelling interrupted Gisborne's thoughts, he recognised that voice. Allan! But who was he shouting at? He ran towards the source of the noise and found Allan and Djaq screaming at each other in the middle of a clearing.

"You had to bring it up didn't you? You can't leave it be."

"It's not my fault, love. I had to know. I can't just let him rip us apart simply because he's jealous."

"As if the poor boy hasn't been through enough lately you make him embarrass himself in front of the whole gang."

"I'm sorry, there I said it, happy now? I'm sorry." Allan threw his hands skyward and Djaq giggled.

He pulled her close to kiss her when Will came crashing over the hill. He had clearly been drinking and lost his footing, sliding down the hill and crashing into the lovers.

"Sorry did I interrupt you?" he slurred. "Shame." he pulled himself up and staggered off.

"Will, mate, let me help you." Allan tried to hold the younger man upright, but his efforts were rewarded with a solid punch in the face.

Gisborne watched as Allan stumbled backwards and Djaq ran to his side. She glared at Will. "Go away Will. Get back to camp now."

"Don't tell me what to do Djaq." his speech was so affected by the alcohol it all sounded like one long word.

"Just go, before someone finds you."

"Will go." Djaq shouted. Will stumbled off in the vague direction of the camp.

"I'm worried. Where's Will? He disappeared hours ago." Much began to pace.

"No, he went to Locksley an hour ago, he'll be fine, he's a sensible lad." Robin replied, "but if you're that worried I'll go and look for him."

Robin got no further than the door of the camp when Will staggered into view. Robin chuckled and helped the drunk lad into camp. He dropped Will on his bed and wandered back to the fire.

"I told you we shouldn't have let him go by himself. Look at the state of him" Much pointed at Will.

"I feel sick." Will rolled off his bed and ran out of camp. John rolled his eyes and went to check on him.

XxXxX

Djaq and Allan walked through the forest hand in hand, unaware that Gisborne was following them.

"Djaq what are we going to do?"

"What do you mean?"

"Will and Gisborne. I mean it's a big issue, but Robin can't see it. He's treating this all like a game. But someone is going to hurt."

"Allan, why do you care about Will so much?" Djaq was puzzled, Allan had never spoken about anyone so fondly to her before.

"I... I... when we were first outlawed, Will was my best friend. And then, when Tom was hung, he became like a younger brother to me. And now he hates me."

Djaq hugged him tightly as Allan tried to fight the tears that were springing up in his eyes. He thought back to how badly he had treated Will, when he was a prisoner at the castle, how badly he had handled the Djaq situation.

"It's ok. Everything will be alright." Djaq tried to sound reassuring.

"You don't believe that do you? Everything will go wrong I just know it will."

Djaq was shocked, what had happened to super confident, cocky Allan a Dale? Where was the man who believe everything was always going to be alright? They sprung apart when a noise in the trees startled them. Behind a nearby tree Gisborne cursed himself for stepping on a twig, that had snapped loudly.

"On your feet, scum." Guy turned around to find Djaq pointing her sword down at his throat. Slowly he stood up.

"I can help you both." Gisborne put his hands up. "Help me and I'll leave him alone. I promise."

Allan looked at Djaq and nodded. Slowly she lowered her sword.

"How do you intend on helping us?" she asked, still not convinced, "and what do you want us to do for you in return?"

"If you help me, I won't tell the Sherif about your fraternisation with outlaws Allan. And you, I don't know your name, I'll convince the Sherif that you are no longer one of Hood's men. That way you be able to walk freely around Nottingham."

"Fair enough. What do you want in return?"

"I want to talk to my son."

"Impossible, Will would never talk to you." Djaq blurted it out without thinking.

"Well make him." Gisborne turned to leave. "I return to Locksley tonight and I want to see my son in the morning." Without another word Guy walked back in the direction of his camp. "Oh and Allan,"

"Yes Guy?"

"I want you back at work tomorrow."

XxXxX

Djaq trudged back into camp to find Will passed out on his bed, while Much, Robin and John sat talking quietly around the fire.

"Gisborne found me and Allan."

"Oh?"

"He wants to see Will, tomorrow."

"And if Will doesn't show?"

"He will tell the Sherif that Allan is helping us."

"Let him. I'm not sending Will to see that man."

"Robin please." Djaq begged him, "I love him."

"I'll go. As long as she shuts up I'll go."

Everyone stared at Will. They had thought he was asleep.

"Are you sure? You really want to go?"

"Of course I don't want to go Much. But I will because her voice is giving me a headache."


Omg. Will's going to see Gisborne. R&R please guys. Love ya!! Sorry if this chapter sucks!!!
