Lily pulled a dagger out of her boot, she twisted it round in her hand, and Allan glanced at her.

'Blood brothers.'

Allan stuck his hand out. Lily grabbed Will's and Djaq's hand and before they could say anything she drew a line across their palms. She did the same to herself and Allan. She put her hand out; Will and Allan placed their hands on top of Lily's.

Djaq looked confused. Will gently grab her wrist. She looked scared as Will placed her hand on Lily's. Will smile at her encouragingly. Allan pulled Lily closer to him and their blood mingled; she hissed as Will pressed harder against her hand.

She pulled it away quickly. Djaq immediately picked up Lily's hand and Lily second-naturedly curled her hand up and leaned into Allan's backwards embrace. Djaq uncurled Lily's hand and Lily hissed as Djaq touched the bloody cut. She inspected it and gently dropped it again. Lily smiled at her and picked up a flask, passing it to Will and Djaq.

Allan grabbed a flask and gulped down the ale. Lily snatched a flask from Will and gulped down the content of it, she smiled smugly at Allan. He picked up another flask; Lily did the same, and they were soon in competition trying to prove that Lily could drink Allan under the table.

Lily grabbed the flask from Allan's hand. She raised it to her mouth and smiled as he frowned at her. Allan made a dive for Lily and he threw her to the floor.

Allan smiled innocently at Lily. She grabbed the flask that was lying on the floor and raised it to her lips. Allan rolled off her and the flask was snatched out off her hand.

She opened her eyes and saw Allan standing over her. He was trying to reach up to Will, who was standing with the flask in his hand over his head and Djaq on his other arm. Djaq was giggling and whispering things into his ear and Will's smile was growing as he pulled Djaq round to his front the leant into kiss her.

He still held his arm in the air; his other was steadily crawling around Djaq's waist. Allan extended his arm out to Lily; she took it and pulled herself up.

Lily climbed on to Allan's shoulder and grabbed the flask that was in Wills arm. He was too busy kissing Djaq to notice. Allan danced around in celebration.

Lily was still sat on his shoulders. She grabbed his hands and he pulled her hands. She flew over his head and did a flip and then stood up, putting her hands up which resulted in her falling down again.

Allan laughed at her. She pushed him; he didn't fall over and smiled smugly at Lily.

She put the flask to her lips. Allan tilted his head at her. She smiled against the flask and passed it to Allan; he gladly took it and took a massive gulp. Lily laughed at him; he launched forward and caught Lily in a rugby tackle. She squirmed against him and thrashed about, Allan released her but she stayed in his arms.

She flung her legs over his and lay down on the floor. Allan rested his head on her stomach and drew circles lightly with his fingers on her arm. He sat up as he heard a bang - Will had knocked over his axe.

'Poor love-struck fool,' muttered Lily. 'He can't handle his drink.'

Allan laughed as Lily laid her head on his chest. She picked up his hand and started to play with his fingers like a child.

Allan ran his fingers softly through her hair. She yawned and stood up, walking over to her bunk. She flopped down on her bunk; Allan followed her and picked her up.

He sat down with her in his lap. Lily rested her head against his chest. He pulled her closer and lay down with her in his lap. He wasn't tired, but Lily's eyes were closing with fatigue. Unlike Will, Lily could handle drink, but she was younger than him and grew tired quicker.

She was younger than him.

He suddenly felt like he had to protect her. He didn't know why, but he had a bad feeling about Robin's plan.

Thunder rumbled and lightning struck. Lily jumped into Allan's arms causing him to wake.

He smiled at her. She shuffled closer as she jumped again. He wrapped his arms tighter around her, she moaned in frustration as she jumped again. He laughed at her, and then stopped as she hit him. He mumbled an apology to her.

"Sorry."

Allan jumped as lightning hit again; Lily giggled at him then whimpered as thunder rumbled once more.

'Lily, are you scared?'

'NO!'

'Yes you are.'

'No, it just makes me jump.'

'Not being funny but you are.'

"No I'm not." Lily shook her head and crossed her arms but she didn't move away from Allan.

She shuffled into his warmth as a bolt of lightning shot through the sky, lighting up the camp. She saw Will and Djaq huddled together by the fire.

Thunder rumbled through the camp. Lily pressed her side to Allan and pulled a blanket over her head, Allan slid under the blanket with her. He kissed her cheek then sent a trail of butterfly kisses down her jaw line. Lily put her hand over his leg and pulled him on top of her, he smiled as he placed his mouth gently on hers.

Lily smiled into Allan's mouth and wrapped her arms around his neck. Allan ran his hand gently through her hair.

Lily put her hand over his and detached her lips from his. He gave her a confused look and she ruffled his hair. He shook her off, pouting at her. She smiled into his beautiful blue eyes.

Allan rolled off her and laughed as she pouted at him. Lily lazily swung her legs over Allan. He pulled the blanket over himself; Lily frowned at him and tried to pull the blanket away from him, only resulting in him pulling it closer to him.

'Allan!' Lily whined. It was well-practiced and she used it on Robin to get her own way. He ignored her; she whined again and tried to pull the blanket off him. He smiled at her and pulled the blanket closer to him.

'Allan, please I'm cold,' she nagged again.

He lifted his arm she shuffled into him, she had her chest pressed against his, she tried to pull the blanket off him, he held it tight but he decided to wrap it around her as she shivered.

'You are cold.'

She nodded. He pulled her closer as he put the blanket around her. She smiled into his blue eyes and entwined her hand round his. His thumb gently stroked her hand, as she spoke softly to him, he nodded ever so often he was getting very tired and he didn't know why. He looked around and saw Robin and Marian snuggled together in their bunk. He rubbed his eyes tiredly as Lily fell asleep on his chest. Allan gently kissed her lips, she moaned against his mouth. He pulled the blanket up around her shoulders as she shivered, and he slid down and rested his head in the crook of her neck before falling asleep for the night.

'Allan?' Robin shouted.

'Yep?'

'Have you written that letter yet?'

'Um, no.'

'Why?'

'Well… um… I… um...'

'Well?' Robin questioned stepping back into the camp, with Marian on his arm.

'Um.'

'Allan?'

'He can't write.' Lily answered for him.

'Oh, sorry,' Robin answered, looking embarrassed.

'Lily, can you write it?'

Lily nodded.

'Thank you.'

'Robin, when we write it who's going to give it to the Sheriff?'

'Marian and Allan are going to go back to the castle…'

'But Robin is this really going to work?'

'Yes, it will work.'

'Lily?' Allan questioned watching her write, and she nodded. 'How did you learn how to write?'

'Guy taught me.'

'That's not the only thing he taught you.' Allan muttered darkly.

'Jealous?'

'Yes!'

'Aw, baby.' Lily said placing a hand on Allan's face, he smiled and kissed her hand, she smiled and him and leant forward.

'Lily!' Robin called. 'Have you finished that letter yet?'

She sighed and picked up a dagger. 'No, now shut up. Where are Will and Djaq?'

'They went to get honey. Again.' Robin said sarcastically.

Lily sniggered and winked at Allan. He pulled her closer and leant forward to kiss her.

'Lily we need that letter, stop kissing Allan now and write it.' Robin said not looking up from his bow.

'I haven't kissed him yet, you keep interrupting us and how did you do that?'

'Witchcraft.' Robin laughed.

Lily looked up as she heard rustling; she placed her hand over Allan's mouth.

She felt him smile against her hand and kiss it. She shushed him. Lily heard the stamp of horses' hooves. She shivered as Guy's voice ran through the forest. Drawing her sword quietly, she heard Allan do the same as he protectively stood by her side.

She threw a rock at Robin and he turned round to look at her. She nodded upwards he grabbed his bow and looked up. Marian pulled on her Nightwatchman mask.

Robin smiled as she struggled with her hood. He gently picked up her hair and pulled the hood up and she smiled at him before covering her mouth and nose.

Much tensed as he heard shouting. He scampered back to camp, running as quickly and as quietly as he could. He froze as Gisborne rode over the camp. He saw that Will was holding Djaq, and they were in a cage. Little John was slumped against the bars. Lily and Allan were nowhere to be seen. Marian was doubled over at the back of the cage. Robin was tied to Guy's saddle by a long rope. Guy bolted towards Much and grabbed him, punching him in the ribs. He heard a loud and sharp crack.

Lily winced. She was hidden in a tree with Allan. Lily grabbed Allan's hand. Her heart was racing in her chest. Her eyes caught Robin's and he shook his head. Lily whimpered, and Allan caught her face in his hands.

'Stay here,' he said, kissing her.

Dropping down from the tree, Allan cut the ropes on Robin's hands.

Lily watched as Allan was smacked across his face and fell to the ground. She whimpered, climbing down from the tree hurriedly, needing to get to him, defend him. But she felt a hand rest on her shoulder and she fell back into Robin's arms.

He hugged her; she left out a soft sob. Robin ran his hand over her back and handed her a dagger. Lily threw the dagger into a guard that was fighting with Allan. He crumpled on the floor.

Lily ran over to Allan and shook him. He woke up with a sharp gasp. Lily smiled at him, happy that he was ok, but she didn't see Guy sneaking up on her. She felt herself being pushed down. Allan was lying on top of her. She watched as Guy thrust his sword down, she quickly rolled them over.

'Kinky.' Allan grinned, rolling her over. She raised her eyebrows as she felt a hardness by her leg.

'We've nearly been killed, you've been knocked out, and our gang is in a cage, and all you can think about is sex!"

'Sorry,' he said pushing himself up off Lily. He tried to fight Guy off. Guy struck Allan around his head.

Allan fell, painfully slowly.

Lily rushed to his side. She saw the hilt of a sword before everything went black.

Lily drifted back intoconsciousness, and she looked around. She was in the dungeons.

She heard a scream. She looked around, and saw Will, Djaq and Much in the cell next to her. She saw Robin and Marian in the next cell. Little John was behind them, trying desperately to break the wooden stocks that he was in. She heard Allan sniff behind her.

She pulled away from him and turned round.

'Allan? Are you ok?'

'Yeah.'

Lily raised her eyebrows.

'No.'

'What's wrong?'

'It's a year since Tom died.'

'I'm sorry...'

'Don't!' Allan said forcefully. Lily looked hurt.

'Sorry, I just miss him. He was a liar and a thief, but I miss him. He was my brother,' Allan said, a tear running down his cheek.

Lily wiped it away. He rested his head against her shoulder.

She ran her hands through his hair. She felt him shake, his tears splashing onto the cold stone floor. She placed her arm around his waist. He let out a sob. She kissed his head like a mother to her child. She felt Allan's tears soak through her thin tunic and she shivered with cold.

Allan pulled her closer and nuzzled into her neck. He moved his head and looked her in her eyes. She saw tears that threatened to fall. He rested his head on her lap. He felt her lean down and kiss his head and he brought his head before he pulled her on to his lap.

'Allan, I'm so scared. We aren't going to get out of this one, are we?'

'We will.'

Lily rested her head against his chest again drifting back into unconsciousness.

'I hope,' Allan added, as soon as he was sure she was asleep.
