Guy of Gisborn's POV

"I want Loxley dead!" shouts my cousin the Sheriff, I can understand his hatred for the outlaw, he's stolen far more than we ever thought he could possibly achieve and he gives it to those lowly peasants.

"What do you suggest we do cousin?" I ask from where I'm stood on the opposite side of the room, I know what my cousin is like when he's in one of these moods, I've almost been killed by it once.

"We need to get rid of him, and those who follow and live with him in the woods, to show to those peasants whom he loves so much what happens when they cross with me. But I also need to get that money for the baron's allegiance to me…I have an idea" he says, with an evil glint in his eyes. I grin at this, he has a plan.

"We can hire the Celts" he says, I look at him in shock, he would go so far as to bring them into all this, they could create more mess than we had before tenfold.

"The barons come tonight, I will send for the Celts to come tonight also so I can persuade those fools the barons that I will have their money with the Celts help. And then we will be safe and in control yet again. Then with 'Robin Hood' out of the way, we can get on with our plans" he says, whilst grinning, I return the smile, then a thought comes to mind, one that has plagued me for a while.

Since I first saw the woman, I have wanted her. The very woman who tricked myself and the guards into thinking her to be a simple peasant woman collecting flowers when she was in fact with those outlaws, but even so, she was such a beauty, more so than I have ever seen in my life. And I want her.

"Cousin, may I make a request?" I ask, he looks over at me in response and nods to show he's listening,

"One of the outlaws, I wish for her to be spared for myself" I say, he raises an eyebrow,

"She? You've found a beauty within such filth?" he asks,

"As astonishing as it sounds, its true cousin, I desire her to be mine, of course I ask of your permission first" I say, he looks at me with a thoughtful look on. Then after a while he smiles slightly,

"How about this, I let you have her, if you bring the Lady Marion to me tomorrow night, but I want you to bring her here tonight. I have a feeling that she is…on good terms with Loxley so she may know what he knows, and that is a risk. Make sure to check if she has sent anything to King Richard, I don't want any of my plans to leak out to him" he says, I grin and nod.

"Just make sure you come with the Celts and I in the morning when we go to wipe out those filthy scum. So that you can grab her before one of our friends gets a hold of her or kills her" he says, I nod in understanding, then I bow and leave the room after he's dismissed me, getting men together to make our way to the Lady Marion's home.
