Marianfingered the leaves on a tree as she walked past and watched the birds fly envying their freedom. It wasn't fair, it just wasn't fair. Robin and the gang had gone off to help the poor and she was stuck here- alone. Robin had said it wasn't safe for her to go out. Huh! She had done alot more than them when she was the Night Watchman. She was quite far away from the camp by now, when she heard hoof beats and the usual rattle of the guards from Nottingham. Time for a bit of fun for her!
Marian slipped out behind a pair of guards and knocked them both out with the hilt of her sword. They fell silently to the ground and she moved onto the next pair, the first fell quietly like the others but the second cried out of he fell attracting the attention of the rider. The man span around to reveal the lord of darkness himself Guy of Gisbourne.
"Well, look who it is. The famous Lady Marian playing outlaw." He snarled.
"Oh, I'm anything but playing," Marians voice was dark.
Then the battle began. Guy started first attacking her simply and was surprised when she blocked it. So he attacked again and again, untill Marian carried one of his blows and he managed to attack her freely. Marian groaned as she saw the large cut that Gisbourne had inflicted on her leg. She reacted quickly and sliced Gisbourne's arm. Guy growled and stopped to examine the wound. This was a mistake - Marian brought her sword hard onto Guy's head. He groaned as the pain hit him but managed to do the same to Marian with the flat of his sword. Marian moaned as she felt the pain over come and cried out before the world turned black.
Robin heard Marian's cry and the whole gang reacted instantly following the direction where they had heard Marian's voice. They got to the clearing just as Guy's horse was riding off. Robin would have followed him if he had not seen her. Marian. He saw her surrounded by a pool of blood, eyes open but not really seeing.
"Djaq!" he shouted as he knelt at her side rocking her gently...
Told you there would be a cliffy! Part 2 coming soon 4 reviews this time. I told you I was mean. The other day I was having an argument with my mate in history over Roin Hood, she didn't think they should bring Marian back ( yes I have tried to throttle her many times) and I think they should (DEFFO!) our argument got so loud that our whole form stopped and listened! It was so embarrasing! Oh well, no snippet this time I thought it would addd to the suspence. Please r&r guys! Thanks,
Luv
