What am I going to do? I can't rescue her by myself. Can I enlist the help of some of the guards? No, they'll just go tell the sheriff. Guy's eyes widened as he realized his only option. They'll never help me, but I can't just stand by and do nothing! Guy had his horse saddled and went to get help.
I have absolutely no idea where I am. Guy thought as he rode through the forest. Guy sighed and did the only thing he knew would get the attention of the person he sought.
"Hood!" he bellowed. "Hood! I need to speak with you!" Suddenly he found himself surrounded by Robin and his gang. He blinked in surprise to see Marian among the group. Although, in truth, he wasn't all that surprised; he had suspected that she'd been sneaking off to see Robin. "I just want to talk." Guy said calmly and non threateningly.
"About what?" Robin asked his arrow aimed at Guy's chest. Guy sighed.
"I…I need your help."
"Help?" Robin echoed and lowered his bow and arrow slightly. He eyed Guy suspiciously and then raised the bow and arrow again.
"Why should I believe you?"
"Honestly, do you think I'd be here if I had any other choice? I need your help. Rachel's in danger. She's told the sheriff she's been helping you; that she told you of our plans. The sheriff's sentenced her to be hanged tomorrow. If I'm going to save her I'll need your help. I can't let anything happen to her! I love her!" His words took the gang by surprise. Even Marian's jaw dropped. Guy looked at Robin who staring at him in silence.
"Won't you help her?" Guy asked. "She's carrying your child. I would think you'd want to do something to ensure that she stays alive!"
She hasn't told him? Oh well, it's not up to me to tell him. Robin thought.
"What do you suggest?" Robin asked.
"The sheriff plan to hang her tomorrow at three o'clock. If the castle were to be attacked at that time, it would give me a chance to get her somewhere safe. Of course, we'll all have to be careful not to kill anyone. For some reason, Rachel cares for everyone on both sides and she wouldn't want anyone to get killed because of her. So, will you help me?" Everyone looked at Robin. Robin was silent for a few moments as he thought.
"Until tomorrow then." He said bowing his head to Guy. Guy returned his bow and rode away. The gang all looked at Robin, stunned.
"Did we just agree to help Gisborne?" Much asked.
"Yes." Robin said.
"I'm not being funny, but are you sure that's a good idea?" Allan asked.
"For once, I believe Gisborne was being truthful."
"I hope you're right." Much said "or else we'll be in a world of trouble."
