thank you! i loved the response from my last chapter! i hope there is for this one!

"I thought you were dead." Djaq whispered. "I thought you were all dead. How. What-

Will swiftly silenced her by placing his lips on hers. Djaq did a double take, but eventually closed her eyes and kissed him back. Will pressed her against the wall, running his hands through hair, which had now grown longer and more was silky. He felt Djaq's hands go around his neck and stroke him gently. He groaned as they broke apart for air. As soon as Djaq got some, he kissed her again. And it went on like that for ages, no words, no time for Djaq to even shift to a different position. Will and Djaq battled against each other, realising how much a few weeks apart could do to them. The endurance and pain throughout it was indescribable to either of them.

Djaq rested her forehead against his as she felt a tear run down her. Will was crying too; his pale and beautiful face streaked with tear strains. Djaq kissed his eye softly and followed the tear track with kisses- being especially careful at the new bruise he had sported. She reached his soft lips again and kissed them gently, then fell into his arms as they both shook with sobs.

'I told you, Much, we're just going to have to wait." Robin muttered, urgently looking around. "Djaq's in that room, right?"

Much nodded at the window Robin was pointing at. Allan and Little John stood silently; Little John glad his son was safely out of the way and back home.

But they were his two. Little John fiercely gripped his staff. Djaq and Will were his children, and they weren't safe. If the Sheriff or Nazir tried anything with them, he knew he would not rest until he killed them.

It was exactly what they deserved.

--

Nazir growled at the man. "So?"

"Well, sir, I think it would be best If you left on this day."

"Did you not hear me?" Nazir asked, fiercely looking at the terrified man. "I don't care if you're stupid king is there, I want to go tomorrow. Do you understand? Bring Lady Saffiya to me. Now."

--

"Hold onto me." Will looked back to Djaq, who nodded at him and strolled over, placing her arms around his thin waist. "Are you ok?"

"Let's just do this." Djaq closed her eyes, feeling Will shift quickly. He broke the window and looked out.

"Robin's down there." Will signalled to Robin, and gave Djaq a swift kiss. "hurry."

"LADY SAFFIYA!"

Djaq cursed and looked at the door. "Pheonix?"

"LADY SAFFIYA!" the man banged on her door. "Your master wishes to see you!"

"Master?" Will repeated quietly. Djaq alarmingly looked at him.

"Will…"

"He's got you calling you his master? Has he hurt you?"

"It doesn't matter." Djaq reached for Will. "that's Phoenix, his servant, and he's only doing what's commanded. Will, drop it!"

"Is that where you got your cut from?" Will pointed to Djaq's arm. "Nazir did that?"

"Will, we have to go!"

"Not until I'm done with him." Will informed her through gritted teeth. He signalled to Robin again and made for the door, Djaq close on his tail.

"Are- you-mad? IT'S A CUT!"

"It's not just a cut!" will was getting angry. "That needs stitches! It's obviously been done with a knife, Djaq! Who treats a woman that way?"

"I don't care!" Djaq grabbed him, but knew his words were true. "Come on! Please!"

"Lady Saffiya?"

"Phoenix!" Djaq yelled at the door. "I'll be there in half and hour! I'm having a bath!"

"No need."

Djaq froze as she heard Nazir's voice on the other side of the door. "W-What?"

"Let me in."

"I'm having bath!"

"It's just me."

Djaq stared in horror. "You- you can't see!"

"Cover yourself."

Djaq grabbed Will's arm as he growled and shoved him down, underneath the bed. She quickly removed her clothes, got some water from the bucket and threw it over herself in the bathroom. She grabbed a robe and chucked it over, desperately wishing Nazir would go away.

She froze when she stepped out of the bathroom in the robe, Nazir standing there, smirking.

"What are you doing?" Djaq glared at him as he stalked over.

"Are you packed?"

Djaq just stared back defiantly. Nazir scowled at her.

"We have five minutes left. Enough time, I think, for me to kill someone because of your foolish actions, you stupid woman. Unless you can pack quickly, which I doubt."

Djaq glared as Nazir grabbed her and pressed her to him. "Get off me."

"You know." Nazir hissed. "You can either play along, or you can keep fighting it and get people killed. What type of woman disobeyes their fiancé to be?"

"Frustrating, isn't it?"

Nazir whipped around. There, standing and furious, was Will. Djaq sighed and rolled her eyes, seceretely thrilled and relieved.

'But you know." Will stalked closer, his hands gripping his axe. "If you're nice to them, they might do. Get your hands off her."

Nazir smirked at Will, drawing his blade. "And isn't it equally frustrating when another man has the same girl you want? Shame we have to move- you won't be able to suffer as much-

He was silenced as Will punched him. His head reeled back and he gaped in shock. Djaq smiled.

"Let's do this." Will hissed. "Man-to-man. Get up."

Who will win? Frustrating, isn't it? please review. See that button down there? press on it.
