Chapter 3,
You Will Tell Me,
Nottingham Dungeon,
Guy did not know how long he had been hanging from the ceiling in his cell, and he had no way of telling because even though he was blind, the dungeons never saw the light of day. The guards had stripped him of his upper body clothing, leaving his chest exposed, he knew exactly what Isabella had in mind she was going to torture him to find out what she wanted to know, the question was how much could he take before he finally broke. He knew he wasn't alone when he heard footfalls that grew louder and louder, until finally a key turned in the lock of the cell door, "Leave us I want to be alone with him." Isabella said,
"Yes Milady." The guard acknowledged, as he turned on his heels and left, Guy heard Isabella walk sassily over to him,
Now that he had lost the use of his eyes it seemed his other senses had kicked in, he could smell the faint floral perfume wafting from his sister, a lilac blend he was sure of that, and he could tell by the sound of her footfalls how Isabella was walking. She was walking sassily, as her heel was what made most of the impact, and she glided on the side of her boot, jus how much did she want to hurt Guy for what he had done to her.
"Are you tired Guy?" She asked, he now heard her circling him like a vulture, he could almost see the image in his mind,
"What do you want?" Guy asked, unwilling to play her sick little games,
Isabella slapped him across the face with a solid object; he soon felt a trickle of blood descending from his nose, "From now on when I ask a question you answer it." Isabella said, "Now look whose playing God with your life, funny how we never think about it being us who are used as puppets in the cruel world isn't it." She taunted,
"I'm not going to beg for my life so I suggest you do whatever you came here to do or get out." Guy said, starring straight into her eyes even though he was blind, he could tell from which direction her voice came,
"If that's the way you want it...I want you to apologize." She said,
"I will never apologize for what I did because like I told you if I hadn't arranged your marriage we would still be living in some god forsaken corner of France without a penny to our name." Guy said,
"You still feel at ease with yourself for what you did don't you?" She asked, as she glided a thin leather club across Guy's throat,
"Maybe you should have pleased Thornton if you had perhaps he would have been nicer." Guy offered, he couldn't control himself as a cocky smile crossed his lips,
Isabella thrust the club on Guy's throat cutting of some of his air flow, "There was no way to make that animal happy, and you knew it." She sneered,
"I will never apologize for what I did so you might as well give up." Guy said breathlessly,
"Maybe I will but that doesn't mean I'm going to give up on you...before your time is up you will be begging for my forgiveness you and will be handing me information about Robin Hood on a silver platter." She said, as she forced his head upward using the club,
"I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you Isabella." Guy said, forcing the club downward to stare at her determinedly,
"We shall we see about that then Guy?" She asked evilly, as she withdrew the club, and then struck Guy across the face with it,
"You will tell me where Robin's camp is." She said,
"Drop dead." He retorted, she struck him again,
"You will tell me his camp is." She said again,
"I will never betray Robin he is..." Guy broke off and remained silent,
"You have already betrayed him as far as Robin is concerned and he is what?" Isabella asked, Guy remained silent so she struck him again,
"Where is Robin Hood?" Isabella asked yet again,
"I would rather die then betray England for a second time." Guy said,
"You've changed brother and perhaps not for the better Robin has changed you he's turned you into a warm and wooly." Isabella mocked,
"No he taught me to love the King and to love England and to only kill when necessary he taught me about principals." Guy explained,
"No he hasn't he made you weak, join me brother we can both rule England and when Prince John is King we will have power beyond measure." Isabella crooned, Guy merely chuckled lowering his head so she couldn't see him smile,
"How much like me you are little sister, power hungry and craving total control, take it from me power will destroy you it will be your downfall." Guy explained, "I would never join you if my life depended on it, power has destroyed you, and its all you care about you would rather hurt those that are so close to you for power then to realize what it is you're doing." Guy added,
"You chose to outlaw yourself guy I didn't and for that you will pay the price." Isabella defended,
"You are so blind that you cannot see what it is you are doing?" Guy demanded,
"I can see a convicted outlaw paying for his crimes nothing more." Isabella snapped,
"Guard!" She called; he soon clattered to her side,
"Yes Milady?" He asked,
"Stay here with the prisoner and if he doesn't talk then be creative just don't kill him." She ordered, she then moved closer so she could whisper in his ear "Nothing serious just beat him around a little, have a good time." She added,
"Yes Milady." He acknowledged,
"Right you heard her she wants to know where Robin Hood is now where is he." The guard asked,
"I will never tell you." Guy said,
"Yeah well we'll se about that." The guard said,
Hours later found the guard strike one final blow that rendered Guy unconscious, he soon picked up a bucket of water and threw it into Guy's face, "You wake up we're not finished yet." The guard said,
"I told you already I will not betray Robin." Guy said tiresomely, the blackness of his own vision playing with his mental stability,
He felt like he was in the deepest darkest place on earth, where all the condemned souls went, and in his case there was no chance of reconciliation and he knew it. Guy didn't know if Robin had been in the crowd when his sister read the proclamation, but due to experience he knew Robin would have mingled throughout the crowd spreading out so he wouldn't draw attention. If Robin had been in the crowd his sister was right, Robin would not come for his rescue, infact through the talks he had with Allen Robin was going to come and kill him, because he appeared to be a traitor.
Maybe because Allen had been a traitor he would suspect that something was up, and perhaps come and see what was really going on in the castle, but he doubted that he would actually check the dungeons for a so called proven traitor. The pain he was experiencing in his arms and the rest of his body was beginning to take its toll, and even though his sight had been taken from him, he was experiencing hallucinations that were the creations of his own haunted mind.
Suddenly from nothing his sight returned and he could see the spectacle before him, only it wasn't a guard that stood before him it was Robin himself,
"Robin?" Guy asked shocked, the guard was even more shocked if not frightened, as he whipped around to see if Robin was behind him but he saw nothing,
"You killed Marian now I think its time I collected a long awaited revenge policy." Robin sneered, as the ghostly hallucination circled Guy like a vulture,
"No it's a lie I didn't betray you." Guy said defending himself; the guard was beginning to worry,
"Did I say I cared about you betraying me?" Robin asked,
"No but you can't possibly be here just to get revenge on me for killing Marian." Guy replied,
"Well like I said I take advantage of situations that can benefit me." Robin said,
"No...Robin you have to get me out of here Isabella is going to kill me." Guy begged, the guard thought Guy was possessed,
"Isabella is going to kill you...well then that saves me from doing the hard work." Robin taunted,
"You can't be serious." Guy said,
"Do I look like a man whose joking?" Robin asked,
"No." Guy replied, just before he passed out, when he did the guard went to go find Isabella, later in the great hall, "My Lord I have news on Guy." He said,
"What is it has he talked yet?" Isabella asked,
"In a way yes." He replied,
"Well what did he say?" She demanded,
"He was talking to Robin." He answered,
"What do you mean talking to Robin he isn't here?" Isabella asked,
"No he isn't but Gisborne was talking to him and he mentioned something about 'revenge' and 'Marian'." He replied,
"He's delirious Marian is dead he killed her and as far as I know Robin is still hiding in the woodworks." Isabella said, "Leave him for the rest of the night allow him to recover we can't have him expiring on us until he has proved useful." She added,
What will happen to Guy will he tell Isabella where Robin's camp is or will he die under her torture? Wait for the next chapter to see what happens next!
