Well 3 days 3 months whats the difference? Well basically this stories been on hauitus ever since i lost my memory stick. But guess what?? Yesterday i found it and this chappie was on there all ready to go so i thought lets post it. I'm not promising more updates or regular anything as when i do things go wrong but this chapter is kind of the second half of chapter 7. If there is a chapter 9 then something might actually happen in it.

As always reviews are love, i know i appear to have been away for ages but i've been reading a lot of good stories on here, i may even get my review on for some of them now

P.S. When I wrote this all those many moons ago i seemed to have overdosed on references to lines and scenes in the show as i ran out of original content. Enjoy the mini robin hood medley!


"And I think you might just want to forget it if you know what's good for you." None of them had seen Marian slip stealthily into the room.

"Whoa how did you do that!?" Allan exclaimed glancing from Marian to the door, which showed no signs of being opened, and back to the girl who was giving Robin a hard steady glare. Robin simply smiled back at her thinking how gorgeous she looked with her hair twisted away and pinned back, revealing her porcelain face and large eyes. It was the eyes that really excited him, they had that dangerous look in them. He remembered that look, loved that look, but at the moment was careful to hide it. He knew how quickly looks could turn to actions, especially when Marian was involved.

"But you don't even know what this plan is." He kept his tone playful. "How can you condemn it when you haven't even heard it, that hardly seems fair?"

"I'll make a wild guess and say it involves you, breaking school rules, and angering the Sheriff in a very public very Robin way." Marian was still glaring at him as he looked away and gave a very nonchalant very Robin shrug. "Hood!" She gritted her teeth. "Did you even listen to my father? You must heed his warning or their will be consequences."

"Perhaps."

"Definitely. Vaisey does not tolerate disobedience and if you try anything he'll do something ghastly." Robin moved forward lifting his hand to brush Marian's cheek.

"Do not worry about me I can take care of myself." Marian's head shied away from the contact and she let out a small mocking laugh.

"I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about my father, about your mother! He's trying to help you and she hardly needs more worry and this is how you help them? Are you really that naïve? You think you can pick fights with Vaisey and get away with it? You're a fool." Robin was smiling slightly and about to reply when Much stood up and let out a small cough.

"As much as I hate to break-up your lovely conversation me and Robin have a detention to get to. I think even you two can agree that we need to attend it." Robin and Marian's gazes flicked from where they had been fixed on one another, to the rest of the gang who had been sitting around the room observing their argument and back. Robin let out a longing sigh and raised his eyebrows with a smile at Marian who was trying to and compose herself. With a cheery wave to the others Much and Robin made their way out the door by which Marian was standing. As Robin passed her Marian grabbed his arm, turning him to her.

"Don't do anything stupid Hood, please!" He smiled at her concern.

"Since when have I ever done anything stupid?" She rolled her eyes in despair but Robin seemed distracted looking down at the back of her head. Slowly he pulled the pin that was holding Marian's hair up out of the bun it was lodged in, watching as the glossy curls fall around her face. She glanced up a little shocked.

"Robin this is not the time." Her eyes flicked to the others in the room and by the time they were back on Robin he was striding from the room, the silver pin being gently tucked up the sleeve of his hoodie. "At least he can't do anything tonight." She muttered to herself.

oooOooo

"Looking forward to the luxury accommodation are we?" The Sheriff cooed sarcastically as he led the two boys down into the cold belly of the school. "I just had to show you around myself, get your reaction to the place."

They descended a stone staircase and ended up in a circular stone room with a number of doors embedded in the walls and some sacks piled up between them.

"Now this is the caretaker's room." Vaisey opened the door revealing a sparsely furnished but welcoming room to Much and Robin complete with cosy bed and central heating. "Very nice don't you think?" He smiled cruelly. "He has to stay down here when we have students visiting, health and safety obviously, can't have you locked up with no way out." He let out as bark of laughter before shutting the door and striding over to another. "Mulch you'll be inhere with the rest of the toe rags, unfortunately we couldn't get you an overnight stay." He pushed Much into the dingy room where a number of younger students were already sitting silently, a teacher at the front of the class reading, a heater turned towards him.

Vaisey slammed the door and grinned manically at Robin.

"Now to show you the penthouse suite" He clapped his hands wringing them excitedly like a little boy before flinging open another door revealing a tatty room which was bare apart from the thin mattress in one corner with a moth-eaten sheet covering it. Robin couldn't help but shiver as he stepped in, it must have been below freezing in that room already. "Aww is little boy Locksley cold?" the Sheriff sneered as he watched Robin for a reaction, but he remained quiet. "What no smart reply? You disappoint me." He eyed him suspiciously. "Turnout your pockets!"

When Vaisey was satisfied there was nothing concealed in Robin's trouser of hoodie pockets he moved towards him mocking in his victory.

"Well I'd love to stay and chat but I don't handle the cold well." He stepped back into the circular room, away from Robin and jolted downwards suddenly. "Argh! What the hell was that?" The squat man turned to see what had caused him to trip. A slumped sack lay behind him, fallen drunkenly from where it had been propped against the wall. "Bloody caretaker, he's the most incompetent fool I've ever had the misfortune of meeting. Well sweet dreams Locksley, remember there's no way out until the damned caretaker comes to unlock you in the morning." He sneered before slamming the door in Robin's face. Robin stood quietly for a moment before murmuring to himself.

"I'll remember if you remember." A small satisfied smile played on his lips as he remembered the sack Vaisey had tripped over, the sack that had had the word "GRAIN" tattooed on it, and suddenly the half a plan he had had earlier was whole.
