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.

37. Chapter 37

Chapter 37 – The Family of Gisborne

Away from Robin and his men Lily and Guy were sitting alone. Lily was drawing something in the sand and once she was finished she sad back next to him. She had wrote their names and building a family tree which included Carter and Robin and another space for Guy's brother she didn't know.

When her husband sighed she convinced him with a kiss before he wrote two more names. "The brother is called Archer and I also have a sister... Her name is Isabella. More people who hate me and their hate makes not look back to what was. I want to see the future instead and you"

Guy drew a heart between Lily's and his own name before she took the stick from him and drew a line to the next generation. Then she stood up and ran back to camp while her husband followed her and catched her before they reached the others. Gisborne kissed his wife once more and whispered something to her. It made Lily smile and she snuggled herself back into his arms. She held safe unto him before they heard a sound from the woods. "Lily, quickly. Go back to camp and hide there"

She did as he told her and saw the rest of Robin's men leaving with Guy while only Kate remained in the camp with her and walked up and down. "Of course I have to stay and babysit you. Women can't do this can't do that and can't fight, right? No. I can fight and I want to fight but instead I stay here with you. I know who you are. You were a servant and now you married a monster. You know what he did to us or were you this blind?"

Lily looked for another stick and wanted to write something on the ground but Kate only sighed. "I can't read and you can't talk. Now we have to wait here and do nothing... I liked even Isabella more than you"

Lily walked closer to Kate and tipped on her shoulder. She wanted to know if Kate's Isabella was also Guy's Isabella. Maybe there was a chance to reunite Guy and his family.

Lily was sure her husband missed his family and had felt lonely without them. He must have felt misunderstood and unguided while he wasn't able to look after his siblings or ask his parents for advice. Lily had wanted all this for herself and knew the feeling but now was no longer alone.
