NWTT 6
Marian had been sitting at the fire for almost an hour now waiting on Robin to come back. The others all watched unsure of what to do. Marian stood suddenly and everyone turned to look at her.
'I am going to go and find Robin.' She began walking into the forest.
'Marian he'll come back in his own time' Djaq shouted after her, but she did not listen. She looked at Will who shook his shoulders.
'Leave them' Little John said and everyone agreed.
Marian walked through the forest searching for Robin. She walked slowly and cautiously. It was almost night, and the forest was dark now. The slightest noise and Marian would jump. She hadn't been alone in the forest before when it was dark, she had always had Robin with her, she had never even noticed how scary the forest becomes when it dark. Robin had always been there, so he had always distracted her from it in a way, he had always made her feel safe. An owls hoot pierced through the air making Marian jump. She wanted to find Robin, she wanted find him now.
Robin walked back into camp after cooling down. He wanted to talk to Marian and apologise for the hurtful things he had said to her. He looked around the members of camp, but frowned when he found no Marian.
'Where's Marian?' He startling everyone, as they had not heard him approach.
The gang all frowned and looked at each other.
'She left the camp to come find you' Djaq said worry and confusion in her voice.
'When?' Robin asked.
Much looked at Djaq from the fire, then back at Robin. 'Quite a while ago Master.'
Robin looked at the other members and then ran back off in to the forest to find Marian.
Marian had been walking for a while now. She had turned back to go back to camp a long time ago, but it was dark and she didn't even know where she was anymore. She wanted Robin. Now more then ever. To come and hug her and make her safe and take her back to camp. Perhaps even to make some smart comment about her being scared of the dark. But he wasn't here. Marian heard a rustle of leaves behind her. She turned quickly her breath getting heavier as her heart beat faster. At first she thought it was Robin, trying to scare her, but he would have made himself present by this. She looked around the dark forest, but when she saw nothing, she put it down to an animal and turned to keep walking. But as soon as her back was turned, a hand grabbed her around the waist and another across her mouth. She tried to scream but it only came out muffled. She tried to get out of the grasp, but to no avail.
'Now you will pay.' The voice said in here ear and then dragged her off. The last thing she heard was Robin calling her name in the distance.
Robin was running madly through the forest calling Marian's name. He couldn't see anything as the forest was now covered in pitch black. He stopped, panting as he tried to catch his breath. Where was she? He began running again calling her name.
