Knighton Hall

Marian was walking around restlessly and worried, about everything about Robin getting away safely and Mari and Sophie.

What if they were captured?

"To the hell with it" she thought, she would just ride to the camp herself and make sure Robin was alright. That would be the best thing to do she argued to herself.

Running up to her room to grab a cloak, she chose the green one since it was best hidden by the forest.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door and an angry and loud voice shouted

"Oh no" she thought

"MARIAN!?" Gisbourne's voice shouted

Marian froze, she hated that voice. Why now? What could he possibly want now?

"Marian! I know you're in there. Open this door!"

Marian looked from her door to the window.

What was she to do? Then she saw it, her perfect escape. Marian smirked and walked towards her uniform of the Nightwatch man quickly she changed and put the mask over her face and pulled her hair into a ponytail and pulled the hood up.

She also grabbed her sword and her bow and some arrows. Then she climbed up at the window frame and opened the same window Robin always used when he climbed into her room.

She easily climbed down and landed securely on the ground.

What she had not counted on was Gisbourne standing right next to her.

She let out a quick curse and quickly jumped away from him

"So the Nightwatch man is robbing houses these days? Well that shall end here and now!" Gisbourne shouted and pulled out his sword and before Marian could do anything she felt the blade cut her arm deeply.

She grunted as she felt the pain, and the blood soaking her sleeve. Gisbourned kicked her in the stomach and she stumbled backwards but before she could fall he grabbed her by the collar and punched her in the face. He pushed her up against the wall but before he could do anything else Marian kicked him in between his legs and pushed him off. Taking her chance she ran for the stables with her head spinning.

Surprisingly she found her horse already saddled and ready. Sophie or Mari must've have figured out that she would need a quick escape. She led her horse out of the stable and was about to quickly sit up when she was pulled back and pushed to the ground and her head sit a stone and she could feel the blood in the back of her head.

Gisbourne was quickly on top of her and this time punching her over and over again.

With her arm injured and her head spinning so much she could throw up. She prayed somebody would see her and help her.

Mari quickly sat up from where she had been lying on the forest ground

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she shouted as if she had been stabbed in the stomach.

"James, what's wrong?" Sophie asked and quickly walked over to her and kneeled beside her.

"It's Marian" Mari mumbled to her companion "something's wrong, she's hurting.

"What? What are you talking about?" Sophie looked at her confused

"Don't tell me you can't feel it?" Mari asked looking Sophie in the eye.

"Maybe you ate something weird" Sophie suggested as soon as Sophie said their stomachs grumbled.

"Soso we haven't eaten anything all day it couldn't have been something I ate!"

Mari looked around the camp apparently nobody else had noticed anything, she turned to Sophie again.

"We need to go to Marian, she could be in danger"

"Mari, do you realize how crazy you sound, you're going on a feeling here nothing more"

"I am not wrong" Mari stated and gave Sophie a serious look. She glanced towards the gang again who still didn't seem to have noticed anything or wait had he? Robin was walking towards them.

"Are you boys okay? You look like something's wrong" he said as he reached them.

"Robin, please tell me you can feel it too?" James said as he grabbed his collar and shook him

"James calm down, what do you mean?" Robin answered and took a firm hold of the younger boy's shoulders the action seemed to calm him down.

"It's Marian!" James said bluntly

"Marian?" Robin asked surprised "What about Marian?"

"She's in grave danger!" James exclaimed "we have to get to her immediately!"

Without even asking James how he knew this Robin started running towards the horses grabbing his bow and arrows at the same time.

James was not far behind him David trailing behind him

"Robin?" Much asked "where are you going?"

"Marian's in danger" Robin explained as he sat up

"How do you know this?" Much asked as he rushed towards the horses with a look that clearly he said he thought Robin was going mad.

"I have a feeling" James answered from his horse as he pulled up David behind him apparently they always stuck together where one went the other one followed.

"Robin you're not going alone? Are you? With those two?" Little John exclaimed pointing towards the Red Hawks

Robin glanced at the two boys making eye contact with James.

James's eyes were basically pleading the words "believe me"

"Robin, just trust me on this one" James said as he urged his horse to go forward.

Robin looked back at his gang who were all looking confused and a bit worried; Robin shrugged his shoulders and said

"I trust him" and then he started riding or galloping was more like it.

He soon caught up with James and David and together the trio continued towards Knighton Hall.
