Thanks to all my reviewers, I really appreciate it and I hope you keep reviewing lol.

"Who are you?" Mira asked, there wasn't something quite right about this girl, she had blonde hair and looked way into her looks, but it was how close she stood next to Robin that made the girls feel this way,

"I'm Sarah, I met Robin a year ago when he came to my house to help my father dig," Sarah blushed as she looked at Robin, who gave her a crooked grin,

"Oh right…and what brings you here?" Saffiyah asked,

"I have now been outlawed myself and have nowhere to go," Sarah explained,

"So I told her she could join the gang," Robin finished, looking at them,

"I ain't bein' funny…where is she going to sleep?" Allan asked,

"In my bunk of course," Robin stated,

"And what about Marian, yours is the most comfortable one for her ribs," Saffiyah spoke up, defending Marian,

"It's ok guys, I'll have Little John's bunk," Marian smiled, wincing slightly as she tried to get up,

"Here, let me help you," Much rushed over as he helped her get up from the log by the fire,

"Thank you for this, you don't realize how much I appreciate it," Sarah smiled gratefully,

"It is no problem," Will said as he finished his food,

"I'm Saffiyah, this is Mira, Dean, Much, Allan and Marian," Saffiyah said introducing everyone, Sarah's eye's fell upon Marian's bruised face, although it wasn't as bad as before,

"What happened to your face?" Sarah asked without thinking,

"I got tortured for three months by Gisbourne and the Sheriff," Marian explained before she went and sat on Little John's bunk,

Sarah had nothing to say in return, but she soon turned her attention to Robin, she hadn't seen him in a year and if truth be told, she missed him, she felt a connection with him when they kissed and she knew deep down he felt it too,

"Thank you for letting me have your bunk Robin," Sarah said as she gently brought her lips to his,

Robin didn't think as he automatically wound his arms round her waist,

"Robin…what the hell!" Mira shouted as she walked in on them,

"Mira, calm down," Robin said as Mira turned red with rage,

"How can you do this to Marian?" Mira demanded to know in a hushed tone,

"She did not wish to see me anymore," Robin pointed out,

"You're a fool, she wants you to fight for her, deep, deep down, she wants you to be stubborn and say that no matter how much she tries to push you away you will never leave her side!" Mira said before she stormed over to her bunk that she shared with Allan,

"Is there something going on between you and Marian?" Sarah asked, still in his embrace,

"There was, but she made it perfectly clear that she wants nothing more to do with me," Robin said as he carried on kissing her to numb out the pain of thinking about Marian,

RHRHRH

"I ain't bein' funny right…but this is tiring work," Allan declared making his way back from Clun with Mira and Marian,

"Aww, poor baby, you'll get used to it," Mira laughed as they walked hand in hand,

"Yea, with a little help from you of course, keeping me fit," Allan smirked causing Mira to blush,

"Marian…Marian," Mira called waving her hand in front of her face,

"What…oh sorry, I was off in my own little world then," Marian smiled sadly, she had not been the same since she decided it best for her and Robin not to carry on courting as she would have to leave soon,

"Marian, I know what you're thinking, but it will never last, you love each other too much," Mira smiled,

"Oh yea, well if that's true then why is he with Sarah in Locksley right this minute instead of with me?" Marian asked, this question caught Mira; she didn't have a clue on how to answer it,

"Why did you tell him it was over anyway?" Mira asked,

"Because I know how hard it's going to be when we have to go back, and how my heart will break…don't you think I don't know that Robin will find some else to call his love, and live out his life with one person that isn't me…do you know how much that kills me?" Marian asked, managing to keep the tears buried,

"I ain't bein' funny, but he is probably feeling exactly the same way as you are, he is only doing this with Sarah to numb out the pain, that is all," Allan reassured Marian,

"Somehow I find that highly unlikely," Marian managed to laugh,

"Come on, everyone will probably be back by now," Mira smiled as they continued to walk at a quicker pace,

"God it's freezing here at night," Marian laughed, her teeth chattering away even though she was sitting by the fire,

"Why do you think I took this?" Saffiyah laughed as she indicated to Will's cloak wrapped round her slight frame,

"Yea, looks like we weren't the only ones," Dean laughed as she had Much's on and Mira had Allan's

And Sarah so happened to have Robin's on,

"Ahhh, seems all the cloak's have been claimed," Marian laughed as she shrugged "Never mind, I'll get the blanket of Little John's bed,"

"Today has been pretty tiring don't you think?" Dean asked from where she was wrapped not only in Much's cloak but in his arms too,

"Yea, I think it's time to call it a night gang," Robin yawned as he helped Sarah up from the log, Marian looked on sadly, he used to do that with her too, but then she did what she thought best and had gotten her heart broken anyway, not that Robin seemed too bothered by it, he had already found the second person he was going to spend his life with,

"Why are they doing this to each other?" Saffiyah asked herself sadly,

"They both love each other, but loving someone and then having to let them go, especially back to the future is harder than you think," Will said,

"It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all…Ahhh, screw it," Saffiyah said as she dragged Will towards her bringing him into a heat fuelled kiss,

"Get a room you two," Mira called from her position on Allan's bunk,

"Believe me, we would if we could," Saffiyah laughed as the last of the fires flames flickered out, leaving them in complete darkness,

"I've never realized how scary it was out here in the dark," Mira spoke up into the quite camp,

"Mira…" Dean began,

"What?

"Shut up,"

"Hey, that was uncalled for!" Mira protested, "But it's true, I mean listen, anything could be out there,"

"Hey…don't worry about it, they always come for the person that doesn't have anyone," Much spoke out,

"Thanks a lot for that Much, I really appreciate the fact that I'm going to die out here in the middle of Sherwood forest in 1192," Marian said sarcastically,

"Sorry,"

"Don't worry about, I always knew I'd die somehow like this," Marian laughed,

"God, I hate the dark," Mira whispered loud enough for everyone to hear,

"What are you…four?" Saffiyah laughed,

"Hey…right that is it…I am offended now…I'll have you know that being afraid of the dark is reasonable…have you never seen that episode on Doctor who…with the shadows?" Mira asked shuddering, "That was just creepy, I expect to wake up with just a head,

"Doctor what?" Allan asked,

"You won't get it,"

"Okay,"

"Oh my god Mira, you really need to get out more," Dean laughed as she rolled her eyes,

"I have quite a good social life thank you very much, just because I am afraid of the dark…you know that…don't judge what your small minds cannot comprehend!" Mira huffed turning over in her bunk,

RHRHRH

Morning came to soon for the gang who woke up unhappy because of the late night they had, most to the grumblings of Allan, Marian and Mira,

"This is not going to be fun," Marian muttered as she picked up some packages for Locksley,

"I can't believe I'm carrying the same amount of my body weight so early in a morning," Mira muttered sling a couple over her shoulder,

"I ain't bein' funny, but are you two always like this in the morning?" Allan grinned as he watched the two girls in amusement,

"Always and forever, until the day I die…now come on, before I nut you!" Mira growled as she walked to Locksley,

"Hold on we have to wait for Robin and Sarah," Allan reminded them,

"Urgh, bloody awesome," Mira scowled rolling her eyes,

"But who's going to Clun and Nettlestone?" Marian asked,

"Saffiyah and Will are covering Clun and Much and Dean are off to Nettlestone," Allan said,

"Ahhh, right I see," Marian nodded in understanding,

"Speaking of the devils," Mira said as Robin and Sarah came strolling up to them,

"Sorry, come on then," Robin said as he led them to Locksley, Robin had kept his promise to Marian, he hadn't spoken to her since that night a couple of days ago, he hadn't even acknowledged her, and for some reason although Marian suggested it broke her heart,

"Lady Marian, you came back," one of the villagers greeted as she handed them some money,

"I couldn't stay away from my favorite village for too long now can I?" Marian laughed as she gave them a hug goodbye,

"Thank you Lady Marian,"

"It's…" Marian trailed off as she saw a flash of black leather out of the corner of her eye,

"Mira, Allan…" Marian said as they came and stood by her side as they too saw Gisbourne ride into the village,

"We need to go…now," Allan said leading them silently to the edge of the forest,

"I can't breathe," Marian said as she gasped for air,

"Calm down Marian, he hasn't seen you," Mira said trying to calm her friend down,

"What's wrong?" Sarah asked as her and Robin came running,

"She's having a panic attack," Mira said still trying to calm her down,

"He's down there…he…I'm sure he…" Marian said still trying to get her breathe out,

"Marian, he didn't see you," Mira said, she could tell she was finally getting through to her, slowly,

"Okay…okay," Marian said as she gradually slowed down her breathing,

"You should never have been here in the first place," Robin said, addressing her for the first time,

"I beg your pardon…I won't go into hiding because of him," Marian said raising her eyebrow,

"Have you seen what he does to you?" Robin reasoned,

"I will learn to control them, don't boss me around Robin," Marian warned,

"I am not bossing you around I am simply looking out for you," Robin said his anger slowly rising,

"I am quite capable of looking after myself," Marian said,

"That does not mean I will stop," Robin retaliated,

"And I'm telling you that there is no need to!" Marian said her anger evident in her face,

"Well I am going to whether you like it or not!" Robin snapped,

"I don't like bein mollycoddled, and I won't let you!" Marian snapped back,

"Well, what do you expect you turn up to our camp all bloodied and bruised, forgive me for being worried!" Robin raged as they gradually stepped closer to each other,

"And look at me now, I'm doing fine!" Marian said motioning for him to look at her,

"Oh yes, because having panic attacks is you doing fine!" Robin shouted,

"Yes I am…god you are insufferable!" Marian yelled throwing her arms up in frustration,

"So are you…that is why I love you!" Robin cried out, looking up at the sky in frustration,

"Yea well…hold on…what?" Marian said double tracking back to what he said,

"You heard me!" Robin said barging over to her as he snaked his hand behind her neck and pulled her into a very passionate kiss as the other wound itself round her waist,

"And this is where we leave," Mira said dragging Allan and Sarah off into the forest, leaving the two love birds to sort out what she liked to call issues,
