This chapter is dedicated to the readers who reviewed and brought my hope back, since to be honest I was thinking of quiting Fanfiction but when I was clearing out my email I noticed fanfiction notifications and opened them to find reviews and follows that had been occuring in my absence. So thankyou very much form making my day!

Her back against the wall, fingers linked behind her head, she then made a satisfied grin to the bright blue sky above. She then whispered silently as if in fear of someone hearing. Yet her whisper echoed throughout the castle walls.

The deed has been done...

As Marian stood outside the balcony, she took the delight of playing the events of tonight over and over again in her mind. As expected the carage was full of gold, diamonds and all those glinty shiny things and expected they were able to take those things without much of a scratch in their bodies.

Once Luna and May had caught on, The trio easily defeated the gaurds leaving them to shame when they wake up bruised yet alive. Then they carried on within the caraige with Sir Lindel. As for Marian's opinion Sir Lindel didn't deserve a "Sir" on his name for as their blackened figures crawled through the caraige doors he was crying and trembling. Marian and the twins disregrded him and carried on looting the caraige. And there sat "Lady" Lindel crying and whimppering.

They had stripped the carage from its wheel to buckle and as for Lady Lindel they all nodded at each other,thinking the exact same thing: I AM NOT UNCLOTHING HIM! May and Luna eyed Marian intently and Marian was in no mood for games, she dashed over to the crying man. Then in a the sheriff's voice she crackled at him to surrender his clothes. The man eventually died then and there, fainting at the caraige's cushioned seat. "Just great" Marian mummbled as she began stripping the drooling Sir. Luna and May watched wide eyed as Marian stripped their victim. They had been meaning to ask about her change in voice.

"I'll explain it to you later.." Marian said still using the sheriff's voice.

"Oh you'll explain it alright!" A hollow voice erupted

They all froze and slowly turned to the voice. outside, through the moon's light they saw a man's strong figure . And though his face was shadowed by the ridiculous green hat he wore, Marian felt a heavy pang in her heart is... if her heart was trying to despriately make her realize something.

The man let a momment slide probably thought they would say something in return but Marian was prepared,she had warned the twins to keep their mouths shut and so instead of answering Marian returned to her job, stripping the disgusting man and as for Luna and May they kept watch.

As if hurt by their lack on enthusiasm towards him, the man pulled out of his ridiculous pose he entered with.

With a feathered green cap, hands on hips and feet apart Marian couldn't help but give a smirk. "Was he trying to impersonate Peter pan for heavensakes!?" Thankfully though the outlaw wouldn't see it since her back was to the caraige door. Not that she cared if he had seen the smirk or not.

"I never knew men can also be attracted to each other... well I guess we all have different sexual "opinions" the outlaw spoke again, his voice playfull and teasing now.

"What?" Marian thought, when had this been about the attraction of people? Then it hit her.

"Oh"

"Ooh"

Marian couldn't hide the chuckle that imediately escaped her pale lips upon realization. The outlaw was reffering to her stripping the coward of a man before her. Though it is a good sign that he doesn't know that they were not men.

The outlaw drew closer to the carrage, the moon behind him as it began to set. Luna and May shook nervously.

"Marian.." May risked to whisper.

"Shh.." Marian replied as she began to tie a knot in the opening of the sack where their loot was kept.

"Let him come" Marian's voice was again the sheriff's rough,demanding tone.

"Well? What do we have here?..." The outlaw was directly before the carraige, only a couple of feet away from Luna and May, who gaurded the caraige doors.

Marian stood upright from her low bend upon strriping the fainted Sir Lindel.

"Well both of you urchins are too short to be criminals...but your pa there should be-" The outlaw was not permited to finish for Marian had already leaped through the doors and landed a kick at him square in the face.

"Just so you know my lad, I am not their pa" Marian said as she landed soundless onto the pebbled ground of the road.

The outlaw groaned as he began feeling both his cheeks and his nose, spitting out dust and dirt that he had caught since he was struck when he had his mouth a jar. While the outlaw was busy, Marian handed the sack to May with instructions that they meet at Hampsire cathedral a mile from their location.

With a swift salute Luna and May were only now a blurr to the naked eye, as they ran silently through the thick greenery of the forest.

~ Will~

"HELL BURN THIS MAN!" I screamed in my thoughts as I felt around my stinging face. The mysterious leader of the group had landed his feet on my face and now I was feeling the burn of shame and physical pain.

" Damn you sinful man!" I cried once I had managed to calculate the damage on my face. "A bruise is going to appear on my left cheek, a small scar on my forehead and a blackened eye!" I muttered.

"Is it really a sin to bring shame upon the man who claimed me the father of two theives?" A familiar voice countered.

I stared,eyes buldging out of their sockets as I tried to confirm that the lean mysterious figure a feet away from I, was the fat, greedy form of the Sheriff Of Nottingham.

I narrowed my working eye at the turtle necked figure. "I knew for sure this was not the Sheriff, this one was too thin to be him and the sheriff would be an idiot to robb his own cousin and in a place like this.

" Pulling myself together I plastered a nuetral expression on my face and slowly transitioned my hands behind my back, where my fingers separated to reveal my sharpest, thinnest and most deadliest daggers. For clearly this intruder was no ordinary one...

~Much~

My head was spinning, my lips cold yet my forehead... where that kiss had landed, it was warm. As much as I expected it to burn...It was calm and warm. The only part of my body which didn't doubt the identity of my captor.

That girl..with her pale pink lips and hazle brown eyes that looked deep into your soul...

They were none other than the innocent girl whom I had thought to have lay buried by the ruins of Fritzwalter Castle... Under the pile of rocks where we had replaced a white cross.

The mysterious lady's name still echoed in my mind...

Her name was one I knew too well

the name Marian...

And with the memory of the whisper, I fell faint and began to loose conciousness but not before I heard a faint familiar voice calling my name.

"Much! Much!"

After that I was devoured into the darkness.

IOI

Both their breaths were puffing long and hard. Their hands displaying sharp, thin weapons...daggers.

Will had underestimated his opponent, he was in such a rush not to suspect the fact that maybe, just maybe for some reason this lad was well trained with daggers aswell. It was only seconds after he sent his first dagger adrift that another countered it. Tilting his dagger in the oppossite direction of its target. Now it lay pinned to a tree not far from the carraige.

Will didn't need to suspect that more will be coming, he already saw the thin polished blades of five other daggers flying to his direction. Effortlessly and with no hesitation Will stepped aside the path of the daggers and in mid air, took them all at once by their handles. A trick he had copied and mastered that took years of practice.

The black clothed figure seemed surprise since it hesitated before throwing another quick blade to his direction. Will shook his head side to side in entertainment. And this time he needn't step aside the dagger's path. Instead he let it fly to him and just as it was about to collide into his face, he grabbed the handle the dagger's pointy end right at the tip of his nose. At this the intruder was surprised yet remained firmly in place. Will couldn't see his face because of the moonshine behind him. But he knew that face bore a awed look. A grin appeared in Will's face.

"As you see lad, Im not your average outlaw just as you are not the average nuscience" said Will.

The figure figgited before swiftly dashing into the depths of the forest.

"Playing tag are we?" Will mocked as he ran after the fleeing figure.

Marian wasn't the least bit intimidated by Will's tricks, He was good she'll give him that, but she still hasn't shown him what she was capable of. Besides that trick was originaly hers, "He must have caught it from that one fight long ago" Marian smirked, she knew all Will's tricks she was the teacher afterall.

Marian ran into the forest making sure to give off as much noise as possible, she wanted her skilled friend to persue her. And she got her wish. Marian could hear the faint russling of leaves to the right behind her. This was enough to send a small smile edging into her lips. She was going to embaress this outlaw, and she will shame him hard.

Marian ran, Will trailing behind her,until she reached the clearing she had intended to find. It was the clearing from where long ago she and Robin had skinned that deer. Marian looked about, her eyes landind on a particular tree where it seemed not too long ago a boy had been pinned to it and there a lass approached the boy to free him, only to recieve a painful burden in which would get heavier each day of that girl's life. Marian saw the ghost of herself and her friends as if they were still truly there, waiting for the day when the girl would just stay away from the pinned lad. Just waiting and waiting for the past to be changed...

" Done running now lad?" A voice interupted Marian from her day dreams.

Will emerged from the darkness of the surrounding trees. He unlike Marian was not able to recognize the place which they were in. Marian's back was facing her intruder yet dare not turn around in fear that he may send his dagger's flying at her movement. No. Instead here she will confuse him, decieve him and then shame him. Because if this man was who she thought he was. Skilled with daggers, sophisticated and fast, then she will scar him under his skin.

"What now boy? Still too scared to face me?" said Will. He was curious to see the face of his voice changing opponent. Marian only gave a soft murrmur which Will wasn't able to understand.

"What?!" Will was frustrated with this one. "Look lad just tell me your name and reasons for sabatouging our ambush and we can all just figure this out with no weapons involved" reasoned Will. Another low murmur.

"Lad what are you named?" No answer

"We understand your reason for theivery, it may be because of your hunger or for survival but going against The Merry Men will do you no good! If you are in need you are welcome to our group...We really can use a talent like yours." Will paused waiting for an answer to his offer.

For a few moments it was dead silent, only the branches made noise as they waved to the gentle wind. Then it came, a silky femanine voice came from the turned back of his opponent. Will was struck at what he was hearing. The voice was horrifyingly familiar.

"You know me Will... Look around you" The voice ordered.

Will took a glance around him, the clearing was begining to seem familiar aswell. After a few seconds a shocking realization fell upon him. A turned his head quickly towards his enemy. " Who are you lad?" Will asked casualy. He will not give his opponent the pleasure of seeing him perplexed.

"I told you.. You know me Will" Marian dare face her persuer. And as if on cue, though the moon was long gone, the small beams of dawn's light was enough to brightened Marian's amused face and inch by inch as she turned she could see the uniformed expression on Will's face disappearing...
