Robin Hood
Now Look Whose Playing God
Hi, sorry to disappoint, Buuuuut this is the last chapter to my story, and if some of you were hoping for a longer drawn out ending I apologize but I just wanted to make it short and sweet. Enjoy!
Epilogue,
Harboured feelings,
The following day,
Guy waited at the stables for Isabella to get ready to say her piece with Robin, he was making an assumption that Robin would gladly take in his sister, but due to her past betrayal maybe not. He was running into another 'moment of truth' situation. Finally Isabella strode across the courtyard and over to Guy who stood waiting, he could see that she was wearing the necklace, and earrings he left for her last night, and he smiled contently.
Guy helped her mount her horse that resembled his own, but he could easily pick out his horse if they ever got placed together, he then mounted his horse and led the way out of the castle courtyard. When they had entered the forest together Guy slowed his horse so that they were in line with each other.
"I have to know if I can trust you." Guy said,
"You can trust me brother." Isabella assured,
"I can't betray Robin by bringing you to the camp so that you can turn us in later." He explained,
"Guy believe me I have no intention of turning you in I want to help you." She said,
"Just so you know Robin still has a thing for Kate, so there is no hope of ever regaining his full affection." Guy informed,
"Guy relax I am quite aware of what goes in inside Robin's head, after all I helped him once before and got an inside look you know." Isabella said trying to calm her brother's case of nerves,
Isabella noticed that Guy eyed her suspiciously, "We're almost there." He said, still with his eyes locked on his sister,
Meanwhile at Robin's camp things went on like usual, only Much was sent out to gather firewood, and on his way back to camp he saw Guy riding stride, for stride alongside his sister. He quickly bounded back to camp screaming at the top of his lungs.
"She's coming!" He yelled, as he made his way to Robin,
"What…whose coming?" Robin asked,
"The sheriff…and Gisborne's with her...even though he looks slightly different but definitely him" Much rambled on,
"What?" John demanded,
"I'm not being funny but something isn't right here we saved his life, Isabella must have him set up." Allen said,
"Why would he have gone back to her? Maybe she caught him on his way back again." Robin reasoned,
"What if he's just bringing her here because he wants to square things with us?" Kate demanded,
"I have to agree we ambush them and find out what's going on." Robin said, as he grabbed his bow and quiver,
"Comeon let's go." He ordered, as his gang followed him out,
While Guy lead Isabella to the camp Robin and his men swooped in and knocked her off her horse, Guy quickly dismounted to defend her, but Robin grabbed him by the shoulders and slammed him against a tree. Kate and Allen brought Isabella over to where Robin held Guy.
"What's going on Guy we trusted you, and now you bring her to the camp?" Robin demanded,
"It's not like that I swear." Guy defended, as he grimaced through the pain Robin was unconsciously causing him,
"Then you tell me what's going on now!" Robin shouted,
"I want to help you." Isabella called out,
"Like you did before when your husband came to get you, I don't think so." Robin protested,
"Listen to her she's telling the truth Robin." Guy reasoned,
"We gave you a chance and this is how you repay us?" Robin demanded,
"Robin please let go of him." Isabella begged,
"Why?" Robin asked, sounding more rational than he was a minute ago, because of the way she begged,
"Because he's been wounded." She yelled back at him, Robin then drew his hands away from Guy to find that his right hand was partially covered in blood,
"What happened Guy?" Robin asked, despite the fact that he was shocked with the way he used Gisborne's first name, he was eager to find out if Isabella had hurt him again,
"An archer blindsided me when I was making my way into the courtyard of the castle, it's nothing." Guy replied,
"Nothing…you need Tuck to take a look if you were wounded last night and it can still bleed so openly today, it must have done some damage." Robin insisted,
"What about my sister?" Gisborne asked,
"We'll take her to camp and then she can tell us what you were bringing her to tell us." Robin explained, as he wiped his hand and lead Guy towards his horse,
John held it tightly because it wanted to get to his master, but as soon as Guy approached the horse was calm again, and it nickered happily when he stroked its strong neck, for reassurance.
Later in the outlaw's camp Isabella is sitting in front of Robin pleading her case, while Guy sat on his recently unoccupied bunk, with his arm extended so Tuck could tend to his wound. Fortunately for Isabella Robin had regained his rational sense of judgment and was actually taking in every word she said with reason.
"So you really want to join our cause?" Robin asked,
"Well after all we are family Robin." She said,
"And how do you know?" Robin questioned,
"I told her." Guy said, just before he shot Tuck a dagger glance due to the sudden jolt of pain that shot through his shoulder,
"Why?" Robin asked,
"Because she's my sister…and I wanted to set things straight between us, and if I want to do that it would mean erasing all the secrets we hid from each other." Guy reasoned,
"He's right Robin in future whenever I hear something from Prince John that you can interfere with I will let you know, the castle is officially open to you and your men, but make yourself scarce when the Prince come. All I ask in return for my services is that you speak for me when the King returns from his crusade." Isabella explained,
"Alright then Isabella…but if you cross me even once you'll need more than your brother to protect you do you understand?" Robin asked,
"Yes I understand, I also understand that some of you resent my being here, but I promise I will reconcile myself in your eyes by the time our relationship is over." She said,
"I hope so for your sake." Robin agreed, but soon a cheeky grin crossed his face,
Guy could tell that Robin still showed affection for his sister, and why not she was a beautiful woman who was in rank a noblewoman. She was going to help her half brother, but Guy could tell something inside of her ached, and that was perhaps because she was realizing all the lost time, which was used in pursuing something that could never be. Guy had been through the same thing himself once, but now that he was doing what he should have been doing a long time ago, the feeling of guilt had lifted freeing him. Soon Annie would be in his arms, they would be living in the castle together, and they would have a beautiful son to cherish, and when he grew up he would be told the countless tales of Robin Hood.
The End.
Hey, very short chapter I know, and it probably wasn't worth making you wait, but I thought it needed to be in a separate chapter, as of yet i am not planning on any sequels to this story, because as you have probably noticed, if you have visited my profile, there are 2 storied now in which I have to work, on before I can even consider posting the prologue. And if you have enjoyed the ending to this story feel free to tell my by leaving a (Review!)
A Big (Thank You) to all those who have read and followed, and reviewed this story!
