Previously on 'Of Sheriffs and Sisters':

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.

"Ok, this is what we're going to do," Robin began, addressing the gang as they sat around the camp fire. He was pacing back and forth as he talked, rapidly explaining the hair-brained scheme he had concocted to save his sister. "We go to Nottingham and, of course, break into the dungeons where they will obviously be keeping her."

"Robin, you know we have no way to get in or out after the whole…" Marian paused in her argument to look at Allan, who was focusing intently on his feet. He knew she was talking about his betrayal and how he had told Sir Guy and the Sheriff every entrance and exit of the castle.

Robin nodded, not really paying attention to her interruption. "Then we make our way out, maybe fight a few guards. See, everything will be alright." He continued, showing the gang he was not going to listen to reason. He would not look at any of them and continued to pace back and forth at the entrance to the camp.

Little John looked at Marian and shook his head. "Robin, you know we cannot get in easily anymore. Besides that, you need to calm down." He told their leader, leaning against his staff.

"I am very calm, John. Would I have a reason to be otherwise?" Robin asked him, still pacing. John sighed and looked back at Marian, who nodded. He made his way over to Robin and started pacing behind him.

"I am sorry, Robin." He said right before he brought the end of his staff down on the outlaw's head, knocking him to the ground in an unconscious heap.

"Master!" Much yelled, running over to John and Robin. He looked down at Robin before glaring at John. "Was that really necessary?" He sighed when John shrugged.

"Let's go." Will said, picking up his axe and heading towards the entrance of camp. "Marian, stay with Robin." He commanded. She looked at him offensively, opening her mouth to retort.

"Marian, stay with him." John intervened. She turned her head towards him and clenched her jaw, nodding slightly. She sat down with a huff and leaned her elbows on her knees like a petulant child.

"Yeah, it's not like we'd leave Much with him." Allan commented, walking out of the camp. Much frowned and followed him.

"And why is that?" He asked, crossing his arms over his chest. Allan, Will and John shot him a look while Djaq smirked.

"Do you remember what happened last time we made you stay with unconscious Robin?" Will asked, annoyed the ex-manservant didn't remember. Much shook his head and looked thoughtful. "You untied him, Much." Will finally answered.

Much narrowed his eyes at Allan, who was laughing silently beside his friend. He 'hmphed' and crossed his arms tighter over his chest, glaring at the other four gang members.

"Ah, the young lady of Locksley." The Sheriff remarked as he looked through the bars of the cage. He smiled evilly when she just glared at him.

"She was with Hood's gang, like you said she would be my lord." Guy said, waving the dungeon keeper away.

"Good job, Gizzy. Oh, la did a, this is exciting." The Sheriff smiled, tapping the ends of his fingers together in joy, momentarily forgetting he was supposed to be the leader of Nottingham. Lizzy just looked at him and rolled her eyes with a sigh.

"You know, you're exactly what my brother said you would be." She told the Sheriff smugly. He leaned in towards the bars, wondering what she was talking about.

"Oh, and what did your outlawed big brother tell you?" He asked curiously.

"That you're a desperate old man who tortures the innocent because it makes you feel better about your miserable life." Lizzy answered, smiling widely when he frowned and moved away from the bars.

"Well, that is good old Robin Hood for you." He surprised her by smiling. "Of course, he will soon learn the error of his ways when we make a public hanging of his darling little sister." He laughed at the angry expression on her face.

"Trust me, sheriff, when the time comes you and your tight leather wearing manservant here will get exactly what you deserve." Lizzy said tightly, glaring at the two men. Sir Guy stepped towards the bars, wanting to get his hands on the young girl.

"You will hold your tongue. You are speaking to the Sheriff of Nottingham. You and your brother are no longer nobles and will respect what he wishes." He reprimanded her, wishing there were no bars in his way so he could smack her just once. She raised an eyebrow.

"Well, we are outlaws so why would we respect his wishes? I wouldn't respect him even if I was a noble, which technically, I am." She smiled sweetly before continuing. "It's King Richard's decision."

"Bored now," The Sheriff cut in. "Take her and torture something I actually want to hear out of her, Gisbourne." He commanded. Sir Guy nodded and waved the keeper over to get the door unlocked. 

"Oh, and Sir Guy?" He said. Guy lifted an eyebrow while the door was opened. "This castle could use a few tortured screams to lighten it up." With that, he left.

Guy smiled thinly, grabbing Lizzy by the arm to drag her to the torture room.

"This is bad, very bad." Much chanted as the gang watched the castle gates.

"Do you want to join Robin?" Allan asked threateningly, turned to the source of his annoyance. He raised his fist. Much shook his head and clamped his mouth shut. Djaq and Will both chuckled, sharing a knowing glance.

"Quiet you two." Will hushed them. They all moved their eyes back towards the gates, looking for a way inside.

"There's the Sheriff." Djaq said, pointing towards one of the windows.

"Sundown, we go." Little John said, motioning for them to disperse amongst the crowd and prepare.

Author's Note: Sorry it took me so long, you guys. I have been busy and sick and getting ready for school next week. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter.

There is no way for me to explain why Lizzy decided to get captured. I know some of you are a little angry, but it really was for the good of the story. Besides the fact that I really didn't know how to make her get caught without making her seem like a girl who couldn't protect herself. Robin's turned himself in a few times, so let it go people.

Genevieve05--I can't explain my reasons for Lizzy getting captured other than what is above. I hope it helps a bit. Thanks for remarking on the good in the chapter and I hope you enjoyed this one as well. Keep the reviews coming because they make me oh so happy and I need it with school starting soon.

KatGirlMeow--Thanks for the awesome feedback. Allan does need a damsel in distress, and maybe in the next chapter (wink, wink) you will see their relationship escalate a bit. Keep reviewing please because as ii said, it causes me great happiness.

Knight Vampire--Thanks for the multiple reviews. I enjoy your commentary on every chapter. I agree. Guy either needs to join Robin or find someone who loves him (wink, wink). Keep reviewing. Oh, and I agree again. Being caught up sucks because you never know when the person will post. It kills you doesn't it?

Thanks guys for reviewing and keep them coming.
