Sherwood Forest

Annie and Kade returned to Camp, leaving Allan and Fred to talk. Fred and Allan sat on a fallen trees, wounding how this would go.

"I'm sorry, Fred." Allan looked to her.

Fred sighed, "They told me to betrayed them for money, is that true?" Fred met his blue eyes.

Allan stayed locked with her gaze, not wanting to lie to her. "Its true."

Fred took a breath, "There has to be more then that?" Fred asked. "I don't believe that you'd do it all for money, there has to be another reason."

Allan was silent for a moment, before answering, he broke his gaze away from Fred. "They tortured me." He answered. "I'm not helping them kill Robin, I'm not leading to the Camp, now I'm just standing at Gisborne's side, I hardly do anything."

"Other then do his dirty work?" Fred stared at him.

Allan turned and met her gaze. "I wasn't going to kill her."

"I know." Fred took a breath.

Fred and Allan's eyes met and she smiled softly to him. Allan sighed and got to his feet. Fred watched as he stared out at the forest, not even looking back to her.

"Fred, I-" Allan wasn't sure what to say, he didn't know how many times he could say sorry, but non of it would make what he'd done disappear.

Fred took a deep breath and walked up beside him. "You don't have to apologize to me." She paused. "Robin is just protecting the gang, he's stubborn, but at least you're safe." Fred took hold of Allan's hand.

Allan looked to their now locked hands, and then looked to her, meeting her gaze and soft smile. Allan smiled back with hope in his eyes.

Fred smiled and nudged her arm against his, "Not being funny, but you're not the same." Fred laughed a little.

Allan laughed a little too, "Not being funny, that's my line."

Fred and Allan laughed and met each other's gaze, they fell silent with smiles lighting their faces. Fred turned to Allan and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him and not wanting to let go. They held each other there for a moment or two, then both released slightly, so that their faces were only centimeters away from one another's.

"Fred." Robin's voice shouted from a distance.

Allan and Fred both looked in the direction of the voice, and then turned back to one another, releasing their arms from around the other.

"You better go." Allan walked over to his horse.

Fred followed him to the horse and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Allan, you're a good man, please don't forget that."

Allan nodded and mounted his horse, he smirked down at Fred. "How can I remember that, when you didn't even remember what I said, before you left. You promised not to hit me." He smirked and rode off.

Nottingham Castle Dungeon

When Allan returned to Nottingham, he went straight to the dungeon to see if Aidan was alright. Allan got down the steps and looked to the cell-man.

"Leave us." Allan ordered.

"I don't take orders from you." The cell-man got to his feet a hobbled over.

"Take your break, go, before I throw you in with them." Allan raise his voice.

The cell-man sneered and hobbled off. Once Allan knew the man was gone, he walked up to the cell where Aidan lay.

"Are you alright?" Allan asked.

Rebecca and Seth looked to one another, wondering why he was being nice.

"What do you care?" Aidan coughed grinding his teeth together in anger.

"I'm not all bad." Allan pointed out.

Aidan used what strength was left to sit himself up. "You killed Annie." He growled.

Allan sighed and shook his head.

Aidan frowned, wondering why. "What?"

Allan heard the sound of footsteps and backed away from the cell. Gisborne entered the dungeon and stared at Allan.

"What are you doing?" Gisborne asked Allan.

Allan pointed to the cell with Aidan. "The Sheriff wants an army right, well I came to make sure we didn't loose one. You know its numbers that win wars."

Gisborne looked from Allan to the cell, he was silent for a moment and then turned back to Allan. "Come on."

Allan took a breath and followed Gisborne out of the dungeon.

The Outlaw's Camp

Fred and Robin arrived back at Camp, after taking a detour to talk about how she was feeling. Annie ran at Fred when they returned, and wrapped her arms around her.

"Why didn't you tell me you fainted?" Annie had a go at Fred.

"Its was a bit hard to even get one word out, when we saw you." Fred pointed out.

"Have you drank the vile yet?" Much asked, and everyone looked to Fred.

Fred knew the vile that was still full, sat in her trouser pocket. "Yeah, its doing wonders." Fred lied with a smile.

Annie frowned at Fred and she followed Fred to her bunk.

"You should have told me." Annie whispered to Fred.

"It was a nothing, I'm fine." Fred stared Annie straight in the eyes.

Annie frowned again, crossing her arms. "Then why is Star-Crystal darker?"

Fred took hold of the Star-Crystal and placed it inside her collar, so not to be easily seen. "I'm fine." Fred answered.

"You're lying." Annie pointed out, trying not to raise her voice.

"Annie, leave it." Fred said, trying to keep herself calm.

"Fred, tell me what's going on. You look ill half the time, you do't talk to me. What's going on?" Annie asked again.

Fred turned to Annie with anger in her eyes. "I said, leave it Annie." Fred climbed into her bunk and rolled onto one side, so that she wouldn't have to see Annie's concerned face.

Fred knew at some point she'd have to tell Annie about the life and death situation, but she didn't feel it was the right time, she knew Annie would freak and become a mother. Not long after everyone else had gone to bed, did Fred's mind suddenly become active, as the Star-Crystal turned red.

A woman ran through the forest, not far behind her was a Werewolf bounding after her. Suddenly the Werewolf vanished, but the woman kept running. The woman came to a small tree surrounded area, she stopped panting out of breath and unable to run for much longer, in her panic she scanned the tree line several times, and suddenly she screamed and jumped. Before her stood a man naked with dark-brown curly hair and a beard. The naked man grinned and his eyes flared ember. Suddenly the woman's body jolted, her face froze with shock, and slowly blood trickled out of her mouth. The naked man had punched his hand through the woman's chest, he ripped the heart from the woman's body and grinned.

Fred awoke her heart pounding in her chest and lifting from her bunk. Kade saw her and looked out from his bunk.

"Fred, what did you see?" Kade asked.

Fred swallowed her fear and they left the Camp, she explained it to him and they went in search of the place where it had happened, she had to know. When they came across the area, Fred followed each step the man had taken while he was running away, it wasn't long before they stopped -like hitting a wall- meeting the grim scent of blood. They found the body and Fred turned away, she couldn't believe this had happened and she'd watched it happen. Fred explained to Kade what the murder looked like, Fred knew that Kade had met him before, Kade filled Fred in and explained to her that she shouldn't try to find the man, that he was dangerous and cared for no one, but his son. He also told Fred that Aidan's mother had been on the run from Kanan, as Kanan wanted Aidan to be like him, but his mother wouldn't have it and so was killed for it.
