The Night Watchman

Marian heard Djaq and Mira as they came into her room

Marian heard Djaq and Mira as they came into her room. Shame she wasn't in it too.

Marian sighed and jumped down off the lowest branch of the tree next to her window. Silently she pulled up her hood and slipped out of the ground. Due to the long time it took to get to the school. It had been four in the afternoon when they had got there and now, because of Prince's lengthy speech (5 hours), it was dark in the sky.

She slipped out of the school grounds and pulled up her mask to cover her eyes and buff to cover her mouth...

Xxx

It had been a good night. Apart from a small fight with some drunken lads outside 'The Trip' (which she had won) it had been uneventful. The families she had visited in the council estates of Nottingham had been gratefull as usual. Her father hadn't noticed about the large amount of money she was always taking out of the bank. If he did she blamed it on shopping sprees, she was not about to tell anyone that she went out at night, disguised in her hoody, buff and mask and gave to the poor. That she was the one they all called the 'Night Watchman'.

As she rounded a corner she heard noises near her window. Sneaking around she hid behind a tree and saw Robin chucking stones at her window. Suddenly another figure in black leather rounded the corner oposite her.

"Locksley?" she heard the figure say.

"Why Gisbourne, long time no see!" Robin replied.

"What are you doing?" he snarled.

"Just trying to communicate with an old friend." Robin smirked, still throwing stones.

"Marian's my property now." Guy snickered.

Something inside Marian snapped, his property, his property! Before she knew what she was doing she had jumped out and kneed him in the groin. He doubled over and she kicked him hard in the chest. There was a satisfying crack. He began to fall and just before he hit the ground she punched him in eye.

"Hey, what's going on?" called a voice, there was the shadow of a torch.

Damn! Marian thought. They were way past curfue and would be caught fighting.

Se indicated to Robin to follow her and he did. They ran around the corner and hid in a doorway.

"That was a bit much!" Robin whispered to him. She ignored imand started to run up the bank on the side of the hill.

"Hey! Come back Robin said furiously. She ignored him again and carried on. He followed her up and caught hold of her hoody. Despite putting on all her presure, he managed to drag to the bottom of the bank.

He pulled down her mask and her buff.

"Marian!" He exclaimed.

"We don't have time for this!" She repremanded furiously. "Come on!" She led him to another doorway on the other side of the bank.

Slowly she opened the door and slipped in, closely followed by Robin.

"Marian! What were you doing?" Robin hissed at her.

"I am no-ones property!" she spat and turned up to go to the stairs.

"I meen out! What were you doing out?"

"I help the poor, it's the only way for a lords daughter to do it." She explained.

"Marian," he said grabbing her arm as she moved away and spinning her around to face him "I'm sorry, I have a reason."

"I suppose we all have reasons and secrets," she raised one eyebrow "to be kept?"

"Yes Sir!" Robin laughed mock saluting her.

"That does not mean you're forgiven!" She stated coldy and walked away.

Robin sighed, it was going to hard getting her back.

Awww! Don't get your hopes up yet Robie!
