The flower named Lilly

by vertrauteaugen

Guy didn't know many people who looked at him with open eyes. They were always scared of taxes and punishment but this servant girl was different. Her fear didn't stop her from helping and for a short time he suspected her to be one of Robin's men, but her true heart was more than that. Lilly saw good in him and after Marian's betrayal it was the servant girl who has his heart.

Chapter 14 – Locksley's hope

Lily was freezing sitting on a branch next to John. He looked out for something and Lily joined him after some time. She wanted to see if Guy had found her but she knew too well he was searching for Robin for almost one year and had no idea where the men of Sherwood forest were hiding.

Suddenly the forest was alive and Lily heard voices screaming and shouting for John. He stood up and was tall like a giant. With his huge hands he grabbed a stick and stepped in front of her. John didn't calm seeing Much another man joining them with their eyes wide open. "Gisborne! He is burning Locksley! He has lost his mind and the fire... Robin tries to save everyone. Come! Run! He needs help!"

Lily shook her head. She didn't want to believe the lies told about her hero. She wanted to hurt him and punch his chest but instead she slowly followed John. In her servant dress she wasn't as fast as the man running into the dust. Smoke crawled into her lungs and every step pain made it more difficult for her to breathe. Lily's throat felt tight and she knew she needed fresh air or would face consequences.

The fire was getting visible and somewhere in the smoke she lost Robin's men. John wasn't seen anywhere but Lily knew she wasn't looking for him. John wanted to see Guy. She wanted him to know she was still his loyal servant and he was her hero whom she trusted.

"Hey!"

Hands grabbed shoulders when she couldn't see anything in front of her eyes. Lily didn't recognize the man but felt she was leading her from smoke and heat. His arm pulled her closer to him and once her eyes saw clearly again she saw the estate.

Guy.

She wanted to thank him and scream his name with a smile on her but instead it was Alan who grinned at her. "Good, for a moment I thought you faint any moment. You walked straight to the fire and this is all Gisborne's fault. Robin wants to … well, he doesn't have a plan yet but I have. Gisborne started the fire because you are gone. Maybe he really cares for someone and... you can bring us hope"
