Previously on 'Of Sheriffs and Sisters':

Marian moved in her sleep, laying her arm over Robin's stomach and her head on his shoulder. Content that everything was fine, he closed his eyes. Before sleep overtook him, he thought about what they had planned for the caravan.

Tomorrow was going to be one heck of a day.


The next morning, the gang woke up refreshed and ready for the ambush they knew was coming. They quickly gathered their weapons and headed out to north road. The plan was to wait for the caravan before bringing on the ambush.

"Okay, pairs move to your hiding spots and be ready for the signal." Robin told them before he and Will ran up the hill to hide in the bushes. Everyone else divided into pairs and made their way to their hiding spots.

A few hours passed before Robin's ears picked up the sound of wheels coming down the road. He nodded to Will, who then stuck his fingers in his mouth and whistled. Everyone moved from their hiding spots and into the middle of the road, stopping the caravan in its path.

"This is an ambush!" Robin yelled. He held his bow, an arrow pointed at the driver.

"Exit the carriage!" Will added.

"We'll take your gold, silver and jewels, please." Marian said, holding her sword up.

"Give it willingly," Little John began.

"And we take one-tenth." Djaq finished for him.

"Resist." Much stated.

"Or fight." Allan added.

"And we take it all." Lizzy finished. The whole gang waited for the door to open, all holding their weapons up preparing for an attack. They tensed as the door open and a pair of black boots showed underneath it.

Robin's brows furrowed as he saw the boots. He tensed as the person wearing them stepped into the light.

"Well, if it isn't Sir Guy of Gisbourne." He said, venom dripping from his voice. Guy smirked at his hatred and moved closer.

"Robin Hood. What a nice surprise." Guy remarked. He then turned his eyes to Marian, who was glaring at him. "Ah, Lady Marian, how has the forest been to you?" He asked her, his smirk growing as her eyes narrowed.

"Guy, what do you want?" she asked her voice low and menacing. He quirked an eyebrow and looked her up and down, his smile growing yet again as she gripped the hilt of her sword tighter.

"I would think that would have been obvious, but sadly that is not what I am supposed to acquire from this little mission the sheriff has sent me on." Guy answered, looking her up and down again for effect. Robin growled in his throat and pulled the string of his bow tighter, itching to let the arrow go.

"What is it you have come to acquire, Sir Guy of Gisbourne?" Lizzy wondered, watching the exchange with interest. Sir Guy's eyes landed on her and he chuckled deeply.

"I'm guessing it would be you, Lady Elizabeth of Locksley." He replied. Lizzy furrowed her brow in response and looked at Robin, who refused to take his eyes off Guy.

"How do you know she's the Lady of Locksley, Gisbourne? She could just be some girl we decided to let in the gang after one of the sheriff's idiotic raids in town." Robin told Guy, the corners of his mouth turned up in a taunting smile.

"I just do, Locksley. Guards!" Guy yelled. Guards came from around the carriage and inside, armed and prepared to fight.

"How many?" Robin muttered, moving backwards with the gang.

"Fifteen." Djaq answered, her eyes sweeping over the guards as they waited for Sir Guy's signal to attack.

"These are the choices, Locksley: One, give me the girl and we'll leave your little gang alone; two, refuse and we can just kill all of you now and take the girl by force." Guy told Robin. The two glared at each other for a moment while Robin played the options over in his head. He didn't want to let Lizzy go, but he didn't wish any harm on the gang.

Lizzy put her hand on Robin's shoulder, causing him to look at her questioningly. She nodded and he sighed loudly.

"Are you sure this is what you want?" He asked his sister, looking from her to Guy and back. "Gisbourne will not hesitate to hurt you." Lizzy gazed at him, and then looked over at this Gisbourne.

"I will not allow harm to come to you or this gang, Robin. You've worked hard. Besides, you can just come rescue me." She said, smiling at him at the last part. Robin nodded and put his hand on her shoulder. He looked over to Marian, who shrugged and looked at the girl she had always thought of as a sister with sad eyes.

"It's her decision, and we have to let her make it for herself. You know we could rescue her and she would come out almost completely unscathed." Marian tried to reassure him, and herself. She could not bare the thought of Guy being able to torture the sweet, young girl.

"No way. Master, we cannot let Gisbourne win." Much cut in the conversation, keeping his eyes trained on the guards waiting anxiously to fight.

"Much, what else do you expect us to do? I do not wish to pin the gang against fifteen guards if there is another way. Now Marian is right," Robin told him. "It is Lizzy's choice." He looked at his sister at the end, who nodded and immediately began shedding her weapons for Much to take.

"You better come get me Robin or I swear I will kill you myself when I find a way out." She told him seriously before enveloping him in a tight hug. "The king is coming home, brother. Don't fail him." She whispered in his ear before releasing him and making her way towards the carriage.

Guy was pleased they had given up so easily and called two guards up to shackle the girl and led her into the carriage.

"You made the right decision, Hood. Hopefully she talks easily, for I do not wish to have to torture her too much. It would be so tiring for me." He taunted Robin, grinning as the leader of the outlaws had to be held back by Marian and his idiot slave. "Have a good day, Hood." He nodded before making his way into the carriage.

"You had best watch your back, Gisbourne. I won't hesitate to kill you the next time you cross me." He heard Robin threaten as the carriage began moving towards Nottingham. He ignored it and turned his attention to the young girl seated across from him.

RHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHR

"Robin, it will be alright." Djaq tried to comfort their leader as they watched the carriage drive away.

"I shouldn't have let her go. I should have thought of something else." Robin shook his head sadly. He had just let that monster take his sister from him.

"There was nothing we could do. We will get her out tonight, but you have to calm down or you won't be going." Marian said, helping Much carry all of Lizzy's stuff as they started off for camp.

"I beg your pardon?" Robin asked incredulously. "I believe I'm in charge of this gang." He informed her. She rolled her eyes at him, sharing a look with Djaq and mouthing 'men'. Djaq laughed and nodded before taking Lizzy's things from Much. She and Marian increased their pace, knowing the men wouldn't follow them, and continued walking towards the camp, whispering and giggling.

"What was that all about?" Will wondered, looking at Robin. Robin shrugged and ran his hands over his face. Allan came up next to Will and put his hand on the carpenter's shoulder.

"I believe it's a women thing, my friend." Was all he said. All the men chuckled and nodded. Robin smiled and clapped Allan on the back.

"That it is my friend." He said, watching Marian and Djaq closely. "That it is."

In the carriage…

Gisbourne was watching Hood's sister closely, waiting for tears to come. She was just sitting there, staring at him angrily, one eyebrow raised.

"What are you staring at?" He demanded, noting how his angry tone didn't affect her stare or the hatred in her eyes.

"A monster." Lizzy answered, letting a smirk peek at the corners of her mouth. She watched in satisfaction as Guy flexed his hands in order to keep from hitting her. "I can't wait to see the day when King Richard returns and hangs you for your offenses against him." She continued, knowing her words were going to get her in trouble, but welcoming what she knew was her duty.

"If you live long enough." Guy countered, trying very hard not to hit her. The sheriff wanted her unharmed, and it was killing him.

"So you admit you will be hanged for your crimes?" She asked him, fully smirking now as confusion and then realization passed over his features.

"Gag her. If I have to listen to that voice anymore I won't be able to keep my promise to the sheriff." Guy commanded one of the guards sitting by Lizzy. The guard immediately grabbed the cloth and tied hit around Lizzy's mouth, allowing her enough time to bite his hand. He made a move to hit her. "Don't touch the girl! Not only will I have your head, but the sheriff will see to it that you receive the same fate as her." Gisbourne snapped, kicking the guard's leg. The guards nodded and gave a simple 'yes, sir' before continuing to gag Lizzy.

Several curses could be heard being muttered through the gag, but Guy paid them no mind as he watched the carriage grow closer to Nottingham. Quiet washed over him as the girl stopped cursing him. However, she continued to glare angrily at him. He still felt no qualms with taking her prisoner, but a voice in the back of his mind kept telling him that torturing her would be like torturing Marian.

He looked at Elizabeth of Locksley and sighed as he saw the glare, making him remember how hard Marian had fought against everything he stood for. This girl was so young and yet she knew better than Guy what she stood for and what she fought so hard to protect.

"We're here."

The guard's voice pulled him from his thoughts and he looked away from the prisoner and made his way out of the carriage, listening as the guards dragged Lizzy out and began to follow him towards the dungeon. Guy knew the next few hours were going to be interesting.


Author's Note: Hey guys. Sorry it took me a while to update. This chapter was hard for me to write. I've kind of had writer's block. I hope you liked this chapter. Please don't kill me for making Lizzy go willingly. I really didn't feel like having a fight and trying to think of a way to make her get captured without it being stupid. Plus I figured she'd be able to give herself up easily and could convince Robin to let her do it. Don't kill me! I know the ending is kind of weird, but I needed to kind of build on the relationships Guy has. It in no way insinuates that Guy and Lizzy will be getting together. Trust me, they won't. I just wanted to give him something to remember and make him question the beliefs he has and his job. The OC for Guy will enter in the next few chapters.

Ok, I gotten a few reviews after I posted this and they all wondered why Lizzy turned herself in. I was hoping I wouldn't have to explain it. After being in the Holy Land, Lizzy has learned that sacrifice is madatory in order to triumph. I know you guys are a little upset that I let it happen, but I promise it will fit into the story.

The phoenixfire--Well thanks for the advice. Trust me, I don't want to put Lizzy and Guy together. That would be…..weird. And just to let you know I like your reasons for keeping Lizzy with Allan. I think they are very valid. ;) Allan is my fav, so trust me when I agree with you completely. Thanks again and keep the reviews coming.

Genevieve05--That's why I wanted to have a little Guy/OC in there. Keeping his mind off Marian, would be helpful. Of course Much is afraid of Lizzy. He's afraid of like everything. Hope you continue to like how it's going. Keep reviewing cause it makes me smile.

KatGirlMeow--I'm sorry you didn't find it too…jk. Thank you for the love. Allan and Lizzy are going to go very far. I hope you enjoyed this chapter even if it wasn't what you wanted it to be. Thanks again for the review and please keep them coming.

X-uRbAn PiXiE-X--Well Lizzy is his younger sister. I know you won't be reading this for a while, but I hope you've enjoyed this chapter and the ones after that I know will already be posted. Thanks for the reviews you've given and I hope they continue when you get back.

You've made it this far in the story so I'm pretty sure sending a review wouldn't be too hard. Please leave constructive criticism. Thanks.
