Her wrist burned and bled slowly from the tight ropes that bound them together, her head ached and the slightest movement was like crashing her skull against a stone wall and her nose burned from the toxins that were forced on her to make her fall asleep. She looked to Emma who was chained to the seat next to her, she had regained conciousness for only a moment before she had fallen back into the world of darkness again. Marian had called her name trying to coax her to waken but she didn't. The room was dark and all that could be heard was the leaking pipes that covered the ceiling above their heads. All that she could do was keep telling herself that Robin would care for Aiden.
RHRHRHRHRH
Robin ran breathless through the house where he found no Marian, he repeatedly called her mobile but it went straight to her answer phone. His chest burned as he gasped in constant breaths to regain his breath. Without another thot he dashed from the house down the street and began making his way to Djaq's.
RHRHRHRHRH
Allan stood in the airport looking at the large screen a smile on his face when he read that Emma's flight had been delayed. He ran to the desk where the attendant was closing the flight gate.
'Excuse me could you please tell me if Emma Watson has boarded this flight?' Allan asked hurriedly.
'I am sorry but we are not permitted to disclose that information.' The flight attendant smiled warmly to Allan.
'Look it is very important that I find out whether or not she is on that flight...her friend...is unwell.' Allan lied hoping the attendant would buy it.
'What was her name?' The attendant asked after thinking for a moment.
Allan smiled and repeated the name as he felt hope return.
'Miss. Watson missed her flight I am afraid.' The attendant explained.
'Missed?' Allan asked confused. He knew that Emma would have been at the airport hours before her departure time.
'She is marked as not turning up.'
'Thank you.' Allan nodded before turning away from the desk and making his way slowly through the busy airport. Where was she?
RHRHRHRHRH
Robin cursed when Djaq told him that she had not seen Marian since the weekend. He knew what had happened, he had been too late but he just didn't want to admit that he had failed. Djaq asked what was wrong and whyb he was panicking but he had no time to tell her the story so after she agreed to pick Aiden up from school he ran from the house once again. He felt his mobile vibrate in his pocket as he dashed down the street halting to a stop he held the phone to his ear.
'Allan I'm busy-' Robin started before being cut off.
'Is Marian with you?' Allan butted in.
'No.' Robin sighed as he looked around the empty street.
'Well do you know where she is?' Allan asked.
'I wish I did... why?' Robin asked as he continued walking down the street.
'Well she was at mine earlier but I had to eh...run out somewhere and i've just got back to the flat and I found her walking stick laying in the street outside my apartment.' Allan explained.
'Aww shit.' Robin hissed.
'Whats wrong?'
'Stephanie's father has some grudge against us, his son is Guy Stephanie said that the want to take Marian to get to me.' Robin told Allan.
'I went to the airport to get Emma but she didn't check into her flight.' Allan gasped.
'Stay at your apartment. I'll come round now.' Robin said as he hung up and began running to Allan's.
RHRHRHRHRH
She couldn't remember falling asleep but when the ruff hands grabbed her face and pulled it harshly upwards her eyes struck open. The pain that shot down her neck and spine was undescribable.
'Emma.' She heard his voice echo in her ears. 'Why did you have to lie.' He asked before tutting at her like she were a child.
'I didn't lie.' Was all she could manage to say through her hoarse throat.
'You are married to me, yet you bed him.'
'I never once said that I loved you.' Emma whispered.
'You were a fool Emma, you could have had everything, I could have given you your every desire, but you turned from it.' Vaisey spat.
'No. I had everything I ever wanted, and it was you that took it from me.' Emma winced as he tightened his grip on her face.
'Oh yes....tell me Emma so you recognise my daughter Lauren?' Vaisey asked before stepping aside and bringing Lauren into Emma's view.
'Yes she had a thing with your rat of a boyfriend in highschool and she wasn't too happy when she found him to ave a new girlfriend...neither was I when I found out that it was my own wife.' Vaisey hissed.
Emma could not tear her eyes from the smirking Lauren who stood in the dark room smiling at her. She hated the look of victory that was in her eyes. She hated the fact that she had not trusted Allan and now she may never get to say sorry.
'Why is she here?' Emma asked motioning to a bound and tied Marian who had now been gagged.
'She is another story, one that you should not concern yourself with.' A dark shadow voiced from the darkness.
RHRHRHRHRH
Robin didn't knock before he burst into Allan's apartment making the poor man jump from the couch in fright.
'Did you find her?'
'No Stephanie is on her way over to help.' Robin sighed rubbing his hands over his face.
'How did we let this happen? You are supposed to protect the people you love.' Allan sighed.
'I know, but when we get the back we can spend the rest of our lives making up for our stupid mistakes.' Robin said as he sat down on the couch.
'Rob...what if we don't get them back?' Allan whispered the question that they had both been dreading.
'Don't think like that...you can't think like that because thats already giving up.' Robin said as he turned to look at his friend.
Allan nodded promising himself to stay positive.
RHRHRHRHRH
They had been left on their own for almost an hour while their captors went about their own business like they did not have two people bound below against their will.
'Emma....' Marian spoke into the silence that had been present since they had been left.
'Yeah.'
'Why didn't you tell Allan about the baby?'
Emma sighed and looked down. 'Because I panicked. I didn't know how he was going to react and hes the last person in the world I want to be mad at me.'
Marian thought for a moment. 'Well your not as bad as me.' She sighed.
'How do you mean?' Emma asked confused.
'I'm pregnant.' Marian admitted.
'Robin?...When did you two?-'
'We didn't...its Guy's.' Marian laughed bitterly. 'I slept with him after me and Robin had a fight, and now I am burdened with him forever.'
'Don't think like that.' Emma whispered. 'Just because Guy is the father does not meant that the child will be like him, it is how the child his raised not its bloodline.' Emma tried to make Marian feel better.
'Robin's going to hate me.' Marian gasped as she hung her head and began crying.
'Hey shh...No hes not, you know Robin he will yell his head off then storm out and be in your arms by the end of the night.' Emma smiled.
'Emma...this is Guy's baby, Robin's enemy you really think that he is going to be OK about it after twenty four hours.' Marian snapped.
'Look down snap at me, maybe if you had kept your knees shut you wouldn't be in the situation.' Emma bit.
'Oh coming from moby dick herself.' Marian shouted.
RHRHRHRHRH
Stephanie walked slowly into Allan's apartment, the tension hitting her instantly.
'You didn't get to her in time?' Stephanie asked Robin who nodded sadly.
'He has Emma to.' Allan added.
'Have they been in contact?' Stephanie asked looking at the two men.
'No.' Robin answered.
'Will they?' Allan asked.
'Doubt it, just trying to think where they would take them.' Stephanie said as she thought of all the places her dad owned. 'He has a storage unit down near the pier.'
Without another word Robin and Allan ran out of the apartment heading for their first source.
RHRHRHRHRH
Emma and Marian had not spoken to one another since their dispute. They both sat not looking at one another and trying to occupy their minds with anything that they could. Emma thought of Allan and their baby and hoped that the future she dreamed of could still come true.
'This is not what we need.' Marian said.
'No we need a nice warm bed, hot chocolate and a disney film.' Emma sighed.
'Thats not what I meant. If we fight each other then we are just helping them, we have to stick together.' Marian stated.
'I know.' Emma rolled her eyes.
The doors were thrown open and down walked their captors.
'Well what took you lot so long.' Emma asked sarcastically.
'Just getting things ready.' Vaisey smiled.
'I know you take a while to get ready due to your age and all, but seriously dinosaurs lived longer than this.' Emma said sarcastically.
Vaisey walked over to Emma and placed his hand on the arms of the chair she was bound to and leaned into her face. 'We will see who is laughing later.' He sneered into her hair.
Robin and Allan walked into the storage lot that Stephanie had told them her father owned. It was dark and dusty everything in the room covered by a sheet which was black with dirt. It was a large open space with nothing to fill it. They saw an open latch in the floor and sneaked over to it when they kneeled as they heard voices.
'Don't get smart Emma, it doesn't suit you.' Vaisey snapped at Emma before smacking her over the face.
Allan went to dash down the steps but Robin's arms stopped him in time.
''Emma will you please stop tormenting him.' Marian winced as she saw the bruise on Emma's face.
'Why? Am I making you wait to long to sleep with Mr. I think I look good in leather over there.' Emma shouted at her friend.
'Oh grow up.' Marian sighed.
'Oh well that has to be the most maturist line I have heard all night.' Emma smirked.
'Enough of this. Guy take Emma into the back room then you can be in here alone with your little leper.' Vaisey smirked at Emma and then Marian.
Guy smirked a dark deep smirk before moving and grabbing Emma's bonds tearing them and holding her by the hair as he began to pulled her across the floor and to the stairs.
Robin and Allan saw Guy coming with Emma and both ran and hid behind the large boxes that were stored in one corner of the lot. They watched as he scrapped her along the floor and into another room that was almost like a small office. Allan went to move but once again Robin stopped him. Allan frowned at his friend as Robin nodded to the latch in the floor, Allan turned and looked to find Vaisey walking through the hole and heading into the room that Guy had just gone into. Guy emerged from the room and walked back down the latch where Marian remianed.
'You go and get Marian. I'll get Emma.' Allan whispered as Robin nodded and they both went their own ways to get their women.
Allan looked in the small dust covered window that was his only insight into the room. Emma was once again tied to a chair and watched as Vaisey walked around her like a vulture studying his pray finding the weakest part to attack. He walked to the door and listened waiting for his own opportunity to pounce into the room. He peaked through the key hole and saw that Vaisey's back was to the door. Perfect time. He stood and looked at the door taking a deep breath before charging into it. Emma gasped but smiled as she saw Allan's handsome face. She was safe now.
'Who the hell are you!' Vaisey shouted.
'Her boyfriend!' Allan shouted before punching Vaisey in the face knocking him into the wall.
Allan ran to Emma and untied her once more before taking her into his arms and kissing her.
'Allan I am so sorry I should have told you about the baby.' Emma smiled as a few tears poured from her eyes.
'Being in love means never having to say sorry right.' Allan winked as he took hold of Emma's hand and ran from the room and heading to the door of the storage unit.
Marian gasped in shock as she saw Guy fall to the floor, but the her stomach bubbled with happiness when she saw Robin standing looking at her with his famous Locksley grin. But then the guilt set in, she knew what she carried in her belly, and he would never forgive her for it, she knew that these were the last few moments in which he would love her.
'Robin.' She smiled.
'Yes Maiden.' Robin smirked as he walked over and unbound her hands.
'Behind you!' Marian screamed as she saw the dark beast lunge for Robin.
Robin fell to the floor with the weight of Guy on top of him trying to punch him, but he was lucky that the position they were in did not allow him to reach. He held him back as hard as he could but he was becoming weaker and Guy had the advantage. But the he was stiff.
Robin looked up to see Marian standing over him with the chair raised in her hand and an inconcious Guy on top of him.
'No one hits my man.' Marian smiled.
Robin smirked as he threw Guy from him and took Marian's hand also leading her to the exit of her prison.
'Allan he's coming!' Emma shouted as she tried to run but her belly was not helping her.
'I know baby just keep running.' Allan breahted as he held Emma's hand tighter.
'I can't it hurts to much.' Emma winced as she stopped.
Allan stopped also and walked back to Emma. He could see Vaisey in the back ground coming closer and closer and he knew that he had to get Emma to safetly.
'Emma can you run for just a little longer?' He asked hopefully.
'Allan I can't.' Emma breathed as her eyes stung with tears.
'Your worthless you know that Emma.' Vaisey shouted as he reached them. 'Your nothing back a common cheap whore.'
'Don't ever call her that again!' Allan shouted as he stood in front of Emma.
'Oh your little boyfriend is defending you.' Vaisey acted scared. 'What ever shall I do.'
'Go away Vaisey.' Emma spat. 'I hate you!'
'You weren't shouting that when we made love'
'Enough!' Allan shouted and thundered his way over to Vaisey.
But there was silence and all that could be heard was Emma's piercing scream as she watched Allan fall to the ground and Vaisey smirk as he held the gun in his hand
