HELLO!! I updated again!! #grins#
Chapter 20
Robin and the others were fighting their way from the manor towards the safety of Sherwood. Djaq wasn't strong enough to walk on her own, let alone fight some of Gisbourne's guards. Will was holding her upright in one arm while knocking guards out with the hatchet he held in his other hand. Will and Djaq were almost to Sherwood when a yell came from behind them. Will spun around, careful not to hurt Djaq in doing so. As soon as Will had turned around, he saw a young blonde woman aiming an arrow straight for him and Djaq.
"HOOD!" The woman screamed. The fighting ceased as all eyes were upon the blonde. Will, still keeping Djaq right side up, pushed Djaq behind him protectively. Djaq wanted to argue but found that she didn't have the strength.
Robin was looking at the girl who was aiming at his friends. He knew the girl from somewhere, she looked familiar, he just couldn't place where.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill your friends." She said pulling the string back.
"Because," Robin started. "You have yet to tell us or them why they are going to die." Robin's mind was in overdrive, he had to stall the blonde woman from shooting Will and Djaq.
"They are your friends, outlaws, thieves. Is that enough of an excuse?" The blonde spat concentrating on her intended targets.
"But what have they ever done to you? Personally I mean." Marian spoke, her bow at her side. "One of them must have done something to you, or you would not be standing there, so quick to try and end their lives." The blonde just stared at Marian for a moment before lowering her weapon and speaking.
"My mother died here in Nottingham." The blonde said quietly at first. "She was visiting her brother, she said it was to make it a better future for me, a safer one." A lone tear rolled down her pale cheek. Her sad and gloomy façade was quickly changed into anger. "She was murdered by an outlaw." She loaded her bow once again and aimed. "Murdered By Robin Hood!" She screamed as the arrow was released. All eyes followed the arrow, everyone was frozen for a split second before a loud scream filled the air.
Everyone turned to see that Will and Djaq were not the ones shot, instead, the arrow had flown off course and buried it self into Marian.
