Hello People xD

So, Here's another update before tonights episode of Robin Hood :)

Hope you all liked the Kate/Allan in the last chapter, because I had a blast writing it! So I'm also really glad you all like the little bit of Much/Juliet going on, they really do make a sweet couple :D Anyways, this chapter kinda puts a thorn in the works in that relationship but gives me more room to write so Robin/Isabella. Right so once again its time for the boring bits : I do NOT own the BBC's Robin Hood :'( and I am aware of the spelling mistakes becuase on the computer I write this on does NOT have word so I can't spell check, so please don't point it out because I already know!

Now I have a really special thank you to make : one of my constant reviewers has always left positive feed back in either comments or PM's. everysonghasanending has really made me happy that this story has been so well liked and recived so thank you so so so so much !

Right so this chapter is dedicated to : FeliezNavidad, everysonghadanending, crabbyhopper and Narnel.

Thanks guys, Mia - x

Kate POV

The next few days passed in a peaceful silence. John and Tuck would go out into the forest together and train, John teaching Tuck basic skills on how to land fatial blows, while Tuck tought John some techniques that would keep him always one step ahead. Robin sunck off to the castle everyonce in a while to see Isabella, we could tell because everytime he returned from Nottingham he had a very very large smile on his face. Robin told us was feeling very on edge in the castle, like something was being planned. Much and Juliet kept themselves to themselves, around the camp and when we were handing out bags of supplies to the local villages. Juliet tought Much new recipes that greatly improved his secret stew. While Much tought Juliet basics about being in the forest. Myself and Allan acted as normal, we did our jobs and enjoyed our time with the gang, it was just the added fact of we had a weight off our shoulders. We could be sat round the fire and hold hands with out speculation, so slowly wonder off in Sherwood on the way back to camp after hunting. But of course we had the usual jobs to do, we stole from the rich to give to the poor and stole much of the Sheriff' fortune. It was Friday before we actually got our first big mission of the week.

We had been on our way back from hunting when we heard the alarm. We sprinted towards the south road and split off into the usually positions. John and Tuck went left, while myself and Juliet went right. Much, Allan and Robin stayed in the centre and waited for our target to set foot in the trap we had set. Soon we heard yells as the coach got caught in one of the traps Tuck had designed. As myself and Juliet decended the slope we saw that the one of the coaches wheels were stuck in a pot hole that Tuck and John had dug not only two days earlier. The suprising thing was the soilders surrounded the coach as we heard a man yell from the inside. I looked in the direction of Robin, Allan and Much and saw them wonder into the open space and I took that as our que.

We slowly came down the rest of the slope and silently positioned ourselves behind two of the soilders that were guarding the coach as the others tried to pull it from the ground. I watched Tuck and John appear from the left and the three lads raise their weapons and run to start the attack.

I kicked my guard in the back of the legs and he fell to the floor, I swong my short sword at him and he ducked and stood to try and attack me. He came running towards me so I crouched down and he toppled over my hunched from, knocking himself on concious in the process. I turned around to see everyone had finished depsosing with the guards and were now gathered around the still toppled coach.

"This is an ambush!" Much yelled at the closed coach door.

"There's poor people going hungry" Tuck shouted in a terrifying tone.

"So you tell us what you've got" Allan said.

"Be honest with us" I demanded in a sweet and sugary voice.

"And we only take one tenth" Robin bellowed.

"LIE" John growled.

"or resist" Juliet added her voice clear and confident.

"And we take it all" Robin finished. We waited for the man to emerge from his coach, but there was no signs of moment, which visablly angered Robin who ran at the coach door and flung it open. Moments later he had pulled our a man who looked like a noble. He was dressed in thick red robes and had his hair lackered back which made him look.. well stupid. Robin through him to the floor and placed a foot on his chest.

"Who are you" He demanded. The man just smirked and tried to raise himself of the ground. Robin pushed harder on his chest and the noble looked like he would explode.

"My name is squire Thornton and you outlaw need to let me up" He demanded. Robin looked struck as we all realised who this man was. Isabella's husband. This must have been what she was talking about when she said she thought something was going on in the castle. They were bringing her husband to Nottingham.

"What buisness do you have here?" Tuck asked stepping closer to the now red faced squire on the floor.

"I have come to bring my wife home. Not before I give her a beating though" He laughed as Robin saw red. In a blur I was Robin decend on the man and begin to repeatidly punch and kick the squire on the floor. I watched as the rest of the guys ran forward and tried to pull Robin off Squire Thornton. I looked at Juliet and we silently agreed we began our run to the rest of the gang but were stopped as we were grabbed. I looked round to see that two of the guards had regained conciousness and then grabbed us to hold us a knife point. I tried to struggle but then the arms of the guard tightened around me. I watched as the guys pulled Robin off Thornton and held him in their own arms. The Squire stood up and smiled and then turned to us. The guys followed his eye line and looked at us square in the eye.

"Let them go" Allan said raising his swords to the squire, who was again smirking.

"Now, you are going to stand there as I take this beautifull young ladies to Nottingham with me." He said as the guards started to push us towards the coach which was being pulled up right by the remaining concious guards. I watched as the gang stood helpless and we were bundled into this coach and were taunted by Thornton. I glanced out the window and caught one last glimps of Allan before we began to ride off towards Nottingham.

Soon we were inside the castle gates and were being dragged towards the great hall. I heard Juliet's low sobbs as we were thrown to the floor infront of the Sheriff and Gisbourne.

"Well, these are beautifull ladies. Another two for your onterage?" The sheriff asked as he walked towards us. He stopped infront of me and lifted my face with his index finger. His face came dangerously close to mine as his hot breath flew across my face. Never before had I wanted to see Allan so much in my life.

"What are your names?" He asked as he let my face go but pulled me up by my already bruised arms.

"Kate" I said simply as he nodded and looked at a quivering Juliet.

"Juliet Berton" She said as I cursed her. Gisbourne stood and walked over to her. He'd recognised her as the woman he was to be sent.

"I think you belong to me" He whispered in her ear loud enough for us to hear. I watched as a tear fell down her cheek as she lowered her head.

"I think I will show, my new ... possesion around the castle. Please excuse us" He said as he grabbed her arm and pulled her towards the big oak door.

"Please!" I screamed

"Take me.. Leave her please ...She's just a child!" I yelled. Gisbourne took no notice and pulled Juliet out of the door and away from me.

"If you would Sheriff, I would like to sent my new servant to Isabella's quarters so she can help her pack and then we shall be out of your hair" Thorton said as he pushed me towards the guards that had forced me here. The Sheriff gave a stiff nod and I was grabbed once more and pulled down the corridoors to Isabella's room. I was flung inside and quickly Isabella was at my side.

"Kate.. What's going on?" She asked as she helped me to stand.

"No time, Thornton's here and he want to take you back. His guards grabbed me and Juliet before the guys could rob him. Gisbourne recognised her and took her away. We've got to get out of here.. NOW!" I said as I pulled her towards her bed. She looked stiff but complied when I told her we needed to stick together.

"Look, soon they'll realise who I am and then they will sentence me to death. We need to get into the forest" I said as I ran to her draws and pulled out her clothes.

"What about Juliet. We can't leave her" Isabella said as she took the clothes from me and placed them in a small bag. I stopped and let the tears I had been holding in flow. I cried and sobbed and Isabella dried my tears and rubbed my back.

"We'll get her back. I promise" She whispered as I regained composure. Soon we were packing Isabella's bag and making a plan to get out of the castle. I knocked on the door and a guard pulled it open.

"I have been told to bring my mistress to the courtyard to be ready to leave with my master" I said in a quite voice as the guard looked down at me through his heavy armour. He nodded and let us pass. We walked silently down the corridoor untill we began to run to the courtyard. Soon we were there and were getting the horses ready so we could make a quick get away.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you" A voice called as I looked up. The Sheriff was stood at the top of the stairs with his guards behind him.

"Well, I never really did listen to you and your rules" I yelled back and pulled myself onto my horse. I heard the sheriff curse and the guards come towards us. I pulled on the reins and followed Isabella towards the open castle gate.

"I'll be telling your brother who your new friends are so you'd better keep yourself hidden from now on" The Sheriff called as we ran from the castle grounds. I watched as a silent tear fell down Isabella's cheek. It wasn't enough he took my cousin of me, now he was taking her brother away. I really HATE the Sheriff.

We rode off into Nottingham and crashed our way through the gates seperating us from Sherwood. We road off at full speed and didn't stop until we reached the edge of the camp. We both pulled ourselves off the hores and ran into the camp. Thankfully the gang were there and we managed to get though without getting caught in any traps.

Allan was stood by the fire leaning on his swinging ladder when he saw me. I ran at him and flung my arms around him. I sobbed as he kissed my hair and whispered in my ear. I really didn't know how much I'd missed him untill this moment. After I regained composure I turned to the rest of the group. Isabella was still hanging onto Robin. Tuck and John came and hugged me and told me how great it was we were both okay.

"Where's Juliet?" Much asked as myself and Isabella looked at eachother. We all sat down and myself and Isabella retold our story. I told how Gisbourne recognised her and that she'd been taken away.

"We have to go save her!" Much yelled as he stood and ran over to the door.

"Much we need a plan. We need to wait" Robin said as he walked over to Much and put a comferting hand on his shoulder.

"No. We need to go now!" He yelled, going red.

"Wht? We need to wait" Tuck said as Much walked over to him and grabbed him by the shirt. The next thing he said shocked us all.

"Why? Because I think I love her!"

Next Time

I couldn't believe I was stopping my own cousins wedding. I mean I'd always imagined this day, but I thought I'd be walking her down the isle, not waiting in the wings ready to ruin her 'big' day.
