Dearest Diary
Today did not go as I planned. For a start their was an attack on the Sheriff today and I was unable to prevent it. I am not sure weather I am pleased or angry at his plan. For one, he did not trust Robin and perhaps he was right in doing so, for if he did he would most certainly not be roaming the earth as a human being, but as a sprit. I was high up in the trees and with some skill began to climb down, when I noticed someone staring at me from across the bushes. I jumped off the branch, risking a broken arm or leg but managed to land on my feet with some skill. I had no time to waste and ran as fast as I could over hills and potholes when finally he caught me and tripping me over, when I landed in a ditch. He pinned me to the ground, violently. I was scared, this was not the Robin I know and l..I will get to that later. He yelled at me, 'Why are you doing this!' and pulled off my mask. His face crumpled as he stayed still in shock. All he could manage was 'Marian?' I only wanted to help him at that moment so I then said, 'There is no time! I know who the shooter is, its Joe Lacy' He quickly jumped up and we ran around to the spot where we had been spying on. There stood Joe, a bow in his hand and aiming at the Sheriff. His reason soon became clear as we stood with our bows ready to strike him. I understood the pain he felt for his wife, but I followed Robins lead and stood, ready to fire at him. It all happed to fast. Suddenly Joe's arrow was flying through the air and Robin and I hit him right in the shoulder. He fell in heap on the ground and began to roll down the hill he had stood upon.
When he reached the bottom he rejoiced for having hit the sheriff and killed him. A man dressed in black then walked over, I then recognized the Sheriff for who he was. He spoke down to Joe with a snivelling tone 'No, you shot the deputy, my look alike'. Robin and I turned away as he gave the order for him to be killed. We walked in the outskirts of the village and talked of the Nightwatch-man, mostly. I enjoy my time with Robin and I told him that as he kissed me goodnight after walking me to my house. He even made the suggestion of coming in. I simply laughed and the sly smile turned to a glum pout. I rolled my eyes and closed the door, and then I smiled and bit my lip as I leaned against it and slid down to the floor. I did not hear his footsteps walk away until five minutes had passed. I know he was hoping I'd change my mind. Soon after Robin's departure, Gisbourne visited and my perfect day shrivelled up as I saw his horse was being tended to outside my window. My Father then called me down and I obliged, unwillingly. We had short conversation and soon he revealed the real reason for coming and gave me a set if four silver hairpins with blue gem stones circling the tips. I politely thanked him and he stormed off in a huff. I guess Robin was not the only one expecting more of me.
