Disclaimer- we all know it so I won't bother saying it.

Will!" Much ran from the corner he had been hiding in, and John rushed from the other direction. Even from this distance they could see the fear in his eyes.

"We don't do deals with traitors Gisborne," Robin yelled up. "We both know you won't do it, he's your son and deep down that means something to you."

As Robin spoke Gisborne backed away from the edge. He pushed Will into the hands of five nearby guards, and issued harsh, whispered instructions.

"Lock him in my rooms, make sure he can't get away." He signalled another guard who hurried over. As the man approached, Gisborne plunged his sword into the man's stomach.

"Looks like you were wrong Hood," Guy held his bloodied sword aloft, "he's dead. Face it you couldn't save him."

Down in the courtyard, everything went insane. Robin drew his sword and began to charge into the castle. Allan caught Djaq before she hit the ground and carried her towards the horses.

"Robin leave it," Allan shouted, "he's not worth it."

Much and John helped Djaq and Allan onto a horse and sent them on their way. "Robin, we go now." John yelled, boosting Much onto a horse. This seemed to snap Robin out of his trance, and he leapt on his horse and sped away.

Will was shoved roughly to the ground and dragged into a curtained off alcove. A guard grabbed his wrists and bolt the chain to the wall. He fought back as hard as he could but kicked unconscious by the guards.

Gisborne marched in, slamming the door open, and then shut again. The guards snapped to attention.

"Is he secure?"

"Yes M'Lord."

"Good you may all leave." one by one the guards filed out of the room and once the room was empty, Guy drew back the curtain and stared down at the unconscious figure of his son.

Guy was deep in thought when a knock at the door broke the silence. "Who is it?" he barked angrily.

"Emmerich." Upon hearing the name, a slow smile spread across Gisborne's face.

"Enter," he shouted back.

At the camp everyone was sat around the fire, trying to contemplate the days events. Djaq's sobbing was the only thing disturbing the silence surrounding them. Allan reached over and put his arm around her.

"It's going to be alright. I promise you." he whispered in her ear. "Everything will be ok."

"How will it be alright? Will is dead. He's gone. So tell me, how will it be alright Allan?" she broke down in tears, berrying her head in her hands.

Allan frowned, "not being funny or anything, but if Gisborne had killed Will, being one of Hood's men, why did he do it out of sight?"

"What do you mean?" Much looked confused.

"If Gis really killed Will, why didn't he do it in front of us? You know really tear us apart?"

"Allan may be right, but that doesn't explain the blood on Gisborne's sword."

"Guards, Guy always kills them when he's stressed or angry." Allan looked at the ground, suddenly feeling ashamed.

"Allan you should get back to the castle," Robin spoke for the first time since they had returned to camp. "Eyes and ears open. Oh and congratulations, with the engagement and stuff."

Djaq flushed slightly as Allan kissed her. She smiled as she watched him leave camo, heading back to Nottingham. As he disappeared out of sight her smile faded.

Robin had sat back and watched, deep in thought. He had let Will down, and if he was still alive, he had to save him. Will must hate him right now.
