Chapter 11:

"It's her own fault. I was aiming for Dale. He used Rena as a shield. And if you hadn't stopped our wedding, she'd be fine."Gisborne's voice didn't really register in Robin's mind. They swirled around in his head, but it was like he was speaking a foreign language – he'd just seen it happen! He'd watched as Sir Guy had tried to take his twin's life to now he had the audacity to lie to his face about it?

He could feel his blood simmering underneath his skin, threatening to reach boiling point. "You shot my sister!" Robin screamed, swinging his sword again at Gisborne and taking comfort in the solid swishing sound it made as it tore through the air. Unfortunately, air was the only thing it tore through.

The corners of Gisborne's mouth twitched upwards into a smirk. "Aww, little baby Robin's going to lose his only family. His pathetic, little leech of a baby sister." Guy taunted, giving him a low laugh from deep in his chest.

The blood boiled over and Robin threw his sword down. He reached for his dagger; the blade caught in the light, emphasising the sharp tip that he wanted to slice Guy's skin with – hurt him the way he'd hurt Rena. He launched himself towards Gisborne, tackling him to the ground and knocking the air out of his lungs. "She is not a pathetic leech! She's my SISTER and-"

"And shes going to die." Guy finished. Robin saw red as he dove at Gisborne, attacking him in a blind fury of punches that Gisborne didn't even bother to block.

Instead, he laughed. "That won't save the leech, Hood."

Robin snarled. He was sweating now, his golden brown hair was sticking to his forehead and hanging over his eyes, but it didn't slow him down. "It might not help but it sure as hell won't hurt either!" he sneered, venom lacing his voice.

Guy laughed again to cover a wince as Robin's knee connected with his gut. "So while she dies you're going to kill me, the man she loves?"

"She Doesn't Love You!" Allan and Robin screamed, both breathing heavily. Robin from the force he was putting into his actions and Allan from the panic that was quickly setting in.

"She does. You two just brainwashed her."

She was starting to feel dizzy, but Rena could still register her surroundings. Gisborne's words hit her and came crashing down like a tonne of bricks. "I never...never loved you..you..mon...monster." She hissed, short of breath from her loss of blood.

"Rena, love, that's not true...I love-" Gisborne was cut off as Robin delivered one swift blow to his jaw, knocking him out and rendering him unconscious.

"That's enough of him." Robin decided. He didn't think he could take anymore of Guy's crap and lies. He turned to look at Allan and his sister, whose clothes were stained crimson. It was possible that Allan looked even paler than she did. "Quickly, to the camp. Do you need help carrying her Allan? Let John carry her, your wounded as well." Robin reminded him, knowing Allan wasn't at his full strength from Gisborne's torturing. He didn't need both of them passing out.

Allan shook his head adamantly. "No," he quickly replied, lifting Rena into his arms. He didn't want to let her go. He didn't even want to let her out of his sight. He needed her…

Robin looked at Allan as he held Rena in his arms and headed for Sherwood as fast as he could. He kept her as close to his body as he could, offering her what warmth he could.

Allan almost reluctantly laid Rena down on her bed. She was so pale, and her eyes were shut tight. She was barely breathing, and when she did take breath it was shallow and forced. "Rena, wake up, stay with me Rena." Allan begged, falling to his knees beside her. Djaq quickly worked around him, inspecting the damage done. Allan stroked her cold face, brushing lose strands of hair behind her ear. She couldn't leave him, she just couldn't. "We can be together now; you just have to stay with me."

Rena gave his hand a weak squeezed and tried not to show how much pain she was really in. "I love you Allan, never forget that." She whispered, forcing her eyes to stay open and locked with his own pale blue ones. The spark in them was fading and it scared her.

"No. You can't leave me. I just got you back. You can't," he whispered desperately as got up and all but ran out of the camp. Allan was in a panic, as was Rena.

"Allan?!" she screamed after him, trying to sit up but Djaq's hand pushed her back against the bed. She struggled as much as she could, trying desperately hard to reach out for him, but he wasn't there. The last thing she remembered was calling out his name one final time, before her world went dark.

Robin dragged himself over to her sister and held her gently, careful not to cause her anymore unnecessary pain or discomfort.

Emmy watching in awe as Allan bolted past her. Without hesitation or a second thought she took off out of the camp after him. She knew her best friend was going to need him if she was going to pull through. She needed to go and calm him down for Rena's sake, otherwise they risked losing them both.
