Disclaimer: I do not own anything to do with Robin Hood. Though I wish i did.
Author's Note:
This is my first fanfic ever, I will try to improve if you give me feedback. I apologise in advance if any characters are OOC, I will try my best to change anything if you would be kind enough to point the flaws out to me.
Any feedback is welcome, as well as ideas, I might bring them in the story. Please don't be disappointed when I don't, I might still be thinking about how I would do that.
I will try to upload a new chapter every Wednesday and Saturday from now on.
If you leave an anonymous review with a question I will answer you at the bottom of the next chapter.
Enjoy
Chapter 10
At the door to the dungeons
Much and Robin looked at each other for a moment before Robin opened the door and descended the stairs with Much right behind him.
The guards in the dungeon looked up from the sound of the door opening and closing. When they saw two guards come down the stairs they quickly greeted them before going back to talking to each other.
The two new guards looked at each other and then one of them stepped towards the talking guards.
"Something you need?" one of them asked.
"Just a couple of prisoners." the new guard answered before smashing their heads together.
"What's going on?" the jailer yelled, while running around the corner.
The guard turned around and punched him in the head, knocking him out.
The 'guards' took off their helmets.
"Robin"
Robin looked around and found his friend Will standing with his hands clutched around the bars of the cell he was in.
"They took Andy! She pissed the sheriff off. They're going to torture her." he looked scared.
Only seconds after he had said this, a scream rang out through the dungeons and echoed of the walls a couple of times.
Robin quickly bent down over the jailers unconscious body, took the keys and threw them at Much and ran off in the direction the jailer had come from. Knowing that was also where the torture took place.
Much had started opening the cells, starting with Will's cell. When Will wanted to go after Robin, Much stopped him.
"Don't you think you'll need this?" he asked, handing Will one of his axes.
Will nodded and took off after Robin.
Meanwhile in the torture chamber
Gisborne was standing before Andy with a sickening smile on his face. He had just put a steel bar in the fire and he had pulled her shirt over her head. Leaving it behind her head, her arms still stuck through the holes of her shirt. Luckily for her she was wearing a camisole under her shirt, which Gisborne only had lifted up to just above her stomach, where it was stuck.
He looked over to the fire and his smile broadened when he saw that the bar was red hot. He walked over and took it out of the fire.
"Do you want to change your mind and tell me where Hood's camp is?" he asked, though it was clear he wasn't expecting an answer.
Andy let out a small laugh, "How many times do I have to tell you to piss off before you actually do?" Gisborne clearly wasn't happy with that answer and pressed the bar into her side, at which she let out a scream.
Gisborne held the bar there for six seconds before putting it back in the fire because it had cooled off. He walked behind Andy and picked up a long wooden stick. He walked back into Andy's sight and he saw her eyes widen at the knowledge of the kind of beating he would give her.
"Last chance." he said mockingly. Andy just shook her head.
Gisborne raised the stick above his head and was about to bring it down on her right arm.
"Gisborne!"
He whirled around only to see Robin standing behind him, bow drawn.
"So the sheriff was right, she is part of your gang."
"Maybe." He stated, he loved taunting Gisborne whenever he could. "Get out now or you'll regret it." a threatening tone was clear in his voice.
Gisborne seemed to think it over for a second and slowly started towards the door, his eyes still watching Robin. Once Gisborne was out of Robin's sight, he turned around and ran towards the door to warn the sheriff.
On his way to the cells he almost bumped into Will, who seemed to hesitate for a moment between attacking him and going to check on Robin and the girl, before continuing on his way.
Will ran into the room where he saw Robin fumbling with the chains that held Andy's arms to the horizontal bar.
"Why did you let him go?" Will demanded angrily.
"Because it's more important to get Andy out of here." Answered Robin while he looked back at Will, when he saw that Will was still doubtful he added "And he'll run into John's back before he can actually warn the sheriff, which he was undoubtedly planning to do."
A smile came to Will's face and he walked over to the bar and started hammering on the chains with his axe until they broke. They carefully helped Andy sit down on the ground.
"Do you think you can walk?" Robin asked. Andy just shook her head, not able to bring out a word.
Robin turned to Will, "Get John, he'll have to carry her."
Will nodded and ran back to the cells and up the stairs, he quickly opened the door and almost bumped into John's back.
"John."
John turned around.
"Andy can't walk. Robin asked if you could carry her."
"Where are they?"
Will took off down the stairs and John took it as a 'follow me'.
When John and Will ran into the room, Robin was trying to clean some of the wounds on Andy's stomach. He looked up when they walked in and quickly pulled Andy's shirt down.
He walked over to Will and told him to go and see if Allan was doing all right on his own at which Will went back the way he came.
Robin turned to John. "Be careful with her. It's really bad." At which John nodded and carefully picked Andy up in his arms. Andy grunted and gritted her teeth in pain, but didn't complain and just let it happen.
"Sorry." John whispered and together with Robin he walked back to the stairs and out of the dungeons.
Robin opened the door slightly and asked if there were guards around. With a 'no guards in sight' response, he fully opened the door and let John out first before going after him and shutting the door.
"We go back the way we came in." Robin told them and they sneaked back to the garbage dump without any trouble.
"Will, you go first to see if it's safe. After John is outside as well, you meet a physician and meet us back at the camp. Make sure the physician doesn't know where the camp is, the sheriff might go after him and we can't risk the discovery of the camp" Robin ordered.
Will nodded and quickly went down the garbage dump. He looked around and saw no guards. He whistled and quickly moved out off the way so John wouldn't land on him.
John slid down with Andy in his arms, as soon as John stood up, Will climbed out of the dump site and quietly ran towards the gates. He knocked out the guards and dragged them out of sight for anyone who might pass by.
He quickly went into the town and started looking for the house of the physician.
After Robin and Allan slid down the garbage dump, they climbed out of the dump site and helped Andy over and supported her until John was out as well.
John picked Andy up in his arms again and they went over to the gates. They saw no guards and quietly thanked Will for knocking them out.
They slipped into town and as quick as they could without causing Andy too much pain they headed into Sherwood Forest and towards their camp.
I hope you liked it and that you will keep reading.
Right now I have a small school vacation (one week) I will try to update a couple of times during this period.
