Hey there thanks too 'marinE92' I have uploaded another chapter I hope you all like it :)
Chapter 3,
Gisborne!,
Meanwhile elsewhere in the large forest,
Gisborne was finding it hard to find a place to sleep so that he would be safe from both Robin Hood and Isabella's men because now he was a wanted outlaw just like Robin it disgusted him that he be subjected to the same status of the man he had vowed to kill.
Therefore, after much debate with himself he decided to scale a tree because it would be harder to spot him and capture him, to his surprise the tree was more comfortable than he would have imagined it was an average tree and the limb in which he perched was concealed by thick foliage, Therefore, making it more desirable. In addition, to add to his surprise he fell asleep in the concealment of the large tree as was soon dead to the world.
In the morning of the next day,
Kate was up surprisingly early; as she left her bed, she retrieved her sword and exited the camp she then began her search of the forest looking for Gisborne, and she was not alone because a hooded figure too started their search of the forest looking for Gisborne and Robin Hood.
Madison walked along the river's edge searching for tracks until she spotted a blonde woman making her way cautiously through the forest, she had no way of telling if this was one of Robin's gang because she had never seen them but she was placing a bet that this was one of them, because ordinary women don't carry swords around.
So carefully she followed the woman, as Kate walked through the forest she felt as if someone was following her but she had no way of knowing, if it was Robin she really didn't want to be seen holding Guy at the point of begging for mercy.
While Gisborne on the other hand was still dead to the world, until a raven flew past his face and nipped at his hair pulling it causing him to wake up abruptly, and if it was not for the size of the limb, he slept on or for his quick reflexes, he would have fallen out of the tree.
After he took a few moments to steady himself he realized it was morning even though the foliage of the tree was so thick he could barely see anything, several knots on the tree's trunk made getting up and down less of a task so after he scaled down the tree he walked to the river to quench his thirst.
Kate followed the river a way until she finally found Gisborne drinking from the stream then as if it was a second nature, she suddenly welled up with anger and pain at the very site of this man, so she started to make her way behind him as silently as possible.
Gisborne was still not fully aroused when he started cupping water from the stream until he felt the cold steel of Kate's sword on her neck; he quickly turned to look up at her.
"K-K-Kate..." Gisborne stuttered,
"You killed my brother now I'm going to kill you." Kate said feeling no remorse,
"I'm sorry I killed you're brother." Gisborne began,
"I've had enough of you're lies Gisborne." Kate replied mocking his attempt to apologize,
"No it's true while I was in prison Meg had time to talk to me she made me understand...she made me realize my life was worthless and that I have so much blood on my hands." Gisborne said truthfully as he moved his footing, Kate stared for a few moments until letting what he said sink into her, and as she fell deep in though Gisborne caught on to it and kicked her legs out from underneath her. She fell heavily to the ground as Gisborne stole her sword then lifted her to her feet and pinned her against his chest placing the sword against her neck.
"I have no desire to hurt you Kate I just want you to take me to you're camp so I can kill Robin now move." Gisborne ordered as he walked her in the direction she specified,
Madison saw the events that took place and followed the two of them when they walked away she was quite happy with letting the blonde-haired woman show her where the camp was until Kate refused to take him.
"Keep moving." Guy ordered,
"No I won't betray Robin by taking you to the camp." She said stubbornly,
"Fine if you don't bring me to him I'll bring him to me." He replied as he continued to walk her,
"Robin...Robin." He called out his name hoping he would hear,
"Rob...Hugh!" Gisborne was about to call out his name again but was stopped when he was hit in the back by something hard and very sharp,
"Gisborne?" Kate called his name puzzled,
"We're not alone." He said slowly and quietly into her ear, and it was then that she pulled away from him, knocking him to the ground as she fled.
Gisborne quickly regained his footing and ran in the opposite direction to Kate, Madison was given a choice as to whom she should follow and she decided that the man would be easier to follow since he was wounded so she then started to run after him.
Gisborne turned to find that a robed figure was following him so he began making his way to the vicinity of the small town of Loxley to hopefully seek refuge but he realized it was not all that easy when he was hit in the back yet again with another spiked disc. His pace slowed he let out a deep breathe of pain his eyes stricken with unexpressed pain as he continued to run, by now Madison was more then just ticked by his amount of pain toleration but she was also angry that she was finding it hard to keep up with him. Either he dropped to the ground in a few minutes or she would be out of range in a few minutes, Gisborne turned to see that his pursuer was far from giving up, but as he turned to see where he was going it was, too late, he was running straight onto a dead ended cliff. Before he could stop and turn around he felt yet another disc strike him in the back, the sudden force caused him to trip and fall, and he rolled over the edge of the cliff.
As Madison walked over to where he had been, she was pleased with herself and she was even happier when she saw that he was still hanging on to the ledge, Kate was watching all this from a distance and even though she wanted to see Gisborne dead this was no way to ensure it.
Madison slowly walked over to the ledge and peered down at Gisborne hanging there painfully, the discs were ripping at his skin, as he hung there fearing the point when he would have to let go, he looked up at her in pain as he let out several groans through gritted teeth.
"Who are you...and why are you doing this?" Gisborne asked stutteringly,
"I am the angel of death and I do what I do." She answered mysteriously, "Now my friend you're time has come to fall into the rapids below and die." She continued as she placed her foot over Gisborne's left hand, which was already struggling for grip,
"No please don't?" Gisborne begged, but she simply smiled evilly under her concealment and placed pressure on it he tried but could not ignore the added pain and then his left hand slipped and before he could regain his grasp, his right slipped causing him to fall.
"Aaaaaaaargh!" He only had seconds to yell as he plunged into the white water being carried away by the current; Kate who had been watching had not raised a hand to intervene but this way of killing a man that deserved it still seemed so wrong.
So carefully she ran as fast as she could back to Robin's camp, and when she was in ear distance or closer she called out arousing waking personnel more then they already were.
"Robin...Robin!" She called out literally breathless,
"Kate what's wrong?" Robin asked aroused by her fear and lack of breath,
"Hang on where have you been?" Allan questioned suspiciously,
"Let her tell her story." Much nearly ordered,
"Allright, allright continue." Allan said raising his hands in surrender,
"I...went...to...go look...for Gisborne." Kate began breathlessly,
"I knew it." Allan interrupted cockily,
"Allan." Robin warned,
"Go on what did you see?" Tuck urged her to continue,
"I found him...and I told him I was...going to kill him." She continued gaining some of her lost breathe, "I had my sword to his neck and...Was going to kill him but he knocked me off my feet...and he was forcing me to bring him to the camp so he could kill you." She said,
"Yes and?" Robin asked,
"And as we were walking I refused to take him any further so he started calling you're name but then all of a sudden he went quiet. I then knocked him to the ground and escaped but he was being pursued by a hooded figure. I followed him and he was struck in the back by something the hooded figure threw at him." Kate rambled on,
"This hooded figure do you have any idea who he might?" Tuck asked,
"No I don't but I followed anyway; Gisborne continued running in the direction of Loxley but he made the wrong move and headed towards the cliff he threw you over. Nevertheless, as he ran he was hit in the back again and he tripped and fell off the edge of the cliff. He must've managed to hang on because the figure soon stood over the edge I could hear Gisborne yelling begging for mercy but he stepped on Guy's finger's and fell off I don't know where he went after that." Kate finished,
"This hooded man I say is a mercenary." Allan intruded,
"I agree with Allan no doubt Isabella has hired a mercenary to get rid of us and Gisborne." Robin agreed,
"So how do we find him...the mercenary?" Much asked,
"Kate do you remember where you found Gisborne?" Robin asked after a moment of thinking,
"Yes I do he was by the stream." Kate replied,
"Right Kate, you Tuck, and Little John go to where Gisborne was, Much, Allan, and I will go down river and see if we can find Gisborne watch out for the assassin." Robin ordered and warned, as they split into groups of three and went their separate ways.
Meanwhile,
Madison had walked downstream until she finally found the lifeless body of Gisborne who was strewn over a tree root that had made its way into the river, half his body was still in the water, and his face was covered in blood.
He was on his back; his right arm was twisted behind him, and his left lay across his chest, his hair was swept across the right side of his face.
Madison studied the layout before she walked over to him and drew him out of the river, however she was not about to sling him over her shoulder because he was a heavy man, instead she grabbed his foot and dragged him away, making sure she hid the drag lines as she went.
