NOTTINGHAM CASTLE

Will grabbed Robins arm and dragged him backwards out of the way of the falling portcullis.

Several guards on the same side of the huge metal gate as the sheriff and Guisborne drew their swords.

Vaisey chuckled loudly at Robin's furious expression.

"Very good..." He grabbed Marians arm and dragged her forwards with him so they stopped walking and stood a few feet from the portcullis.

"Very good." The Sheriff finished and chuckled.

"Let her go." Robin hissed angrily still holding his bow and arrow.

"Err no..." Vaisey smirked, "I have everything I want right here, and now Guisborne does, don't you Gizzy?"

Guy walked to stand beside Vaisey as with one swift jerk of his arm he shoved Marian at Guy. She stumbled, not being able to brace herself as she smacked into Guys chest, the shackles stopped her from doing it.

"Get off of me." She snapped and struggled in his grip.

Guy spun her to hold her back against his chest, pressing his lips to her neck. She gasped loudly.

"You..." Robin let his arrow fly, and it embedded itself in Guisborne's shoulder.

He groaned and gave a shout of pain.

Marian stamped on his foot hard and wrenched her body from his grip.

Robins eyes met hers, "The south gate, go!"

She nodded and took off at a sprint, faster than any guard would have hope of catching her.

"LIFT THE PORTCULLIS!" Guy screamed.

"Get them!" Vaisey shouted.

The portcullis started to lift and the outlaws all drew their weapons.

The fight was brutal and intense. Robin dove for Guisborne as his men around them started to defeat their opponents.

He grabbed the arrow in the mans body and wrenched it from his shoulder.

Guy screamed in pain as Robin knocked him out cold on the floor.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Thomas and Vaisey running towards the castle.

He chuckled darkly and shoved his attacking guard away from him and raced after them.

The Sheriff and Thomas rounded the corner towards a castle door when Robin stood in front of them.

He held his sword at Vaisey's chest.

"Give me the crown Thomas."

The Sheriff sneered at Robin, "You won't do it."

"Won't I?" Robin's eyes were dangerous.

"No." Vaisey grinned darkly, "Not if it means that Nottingham gets raised to the ground and everyone in it slaughtered."

Robin said nothing, his eyes locked on Vaisey, sword still at the man's chest.

"You wouldn't want it on your conscience..." Vaisey continued, "and especially not when your precious little wife would lose her life, you'd do anything for her wouldn't you, as if I didn't know... your whore..."

"Don't..." Robin pressed the sword harder to the man's chest dangerously, "do not even put her name in your mouth..."

"Slut of Sherwood..." Vaisey raised an eyebrow.

Robin lowered his sword quickly and in the same motion grabbed the front of Vaisey's tunic.

"You stay away from her." He hissed.

Vaisey chuckled, "temper temper..."

"You can kill me a thousand times, but you will never touch her."

"Well..."

Robin did not wait for the Sheriff to finish. He slammed the hilt of his sword against his forehead and sent the man to the floor with a shout of pain.

"Robin!"

Robin looked up at Much's shout to see them guard free, anxious that more would arrive.

"Let's go."

Robin turned his sword to a frozen Thomas and snatched the crown from his hands.

"I will be taking this I think."

Thomas had never been so frightened of a man a quarter of his age.

He stayed rooted to the spot saying nothing as he watched Robin race out towards the portcullis.

Robin kicked a struggling to stand Guisborne in the face for good measure as him and his men raced from the castle.

Vaisey pushed himself upright and put all his strength into a shout.

"Guards!"

NOTTINGHAM CASTLE

"I want him found Guisborne." Vaisey hissed at his lieutenant opposite him as they stood beside the carriage in the courtyard.

"I want him dead." The sheriff snapped, glaring daggers at Guisborne.

A muffled shout from inside the carriage caused both Vaisey and Guy to turn their eyes on the bound and gagged Thomas that they had thrown in the carriage.

"Do not disappoint me." Vaisey hissed, "I trust you know what will happen should you do it."

Guy nodded firmly, "Indeed."

Vaisey sneered and slammed the carriage door shut before turning to storm into the castle, feeling his sore forehead.

Guy adjusted his arm in its sling and shouted at the guards driving the carriage that held Thomas.

"Get him out of here!"

THE OUTLAWS CAMP

"What are we going to do with this then?" Alan gestured to the crown where it rested in its bag on top of the pile of money they had hidden in the camp.

The ale had been passed out shortly after their return to camp.

Much had been gleefully speaking about how brilliant it was that they were all alive and well.

"We keep it for when the king returns." Robin said firmly.

Everyone raised their glasses to clink them and John nodded his head.

"We are Robin Hood."

Robin didn't speak as everyone began to talk amongst themselves.

His eyes flitted across camp.

It hadn't gone unnoticed by anyone except Much, that Robin and Marian hadn't spoken since they left Nottingham.

Robin stood with the rest of them in a circle near the fire, holding his mug of ale.

It was doing wonders to quell the anger at his wife that still stirred from their argument and that fact she had raced off to Hull.

She was sat on one of the bunks crossed legged a little way away.

He sighed to himself, he didn't want to dwell on it and fight anymore with her, he wanted to focus on the relief he had that she was back safe.

But he knew he couldn't forget the danger she had put herself and the baby in.

He put down his mug of ale abruptly and grabbed his boy and quiver, shoving the latter onto his back before walking over to his wife.

"Come on." He held out his hand.

She almost glared back, "Pardon?"

"Come with me." He stated and took her hand, pulling her gently to her feet but with firm intention.

"We need to talk."
