Chapter 6,
We Do Not Stand For Torture,
Meanwhile at the outlaw's camp,
"Right that's all of it let's go." Robin said, as he slung a bag loaded with food over his shoulder, everyone was following him out of the camp except for much who was busy loading his bag.
"Much are you coming?" Robin asked cheekily,
"You go I'll catch up." He called over his shoulder,
"Right then you just make sure you're careful." Robin said smiling as he walked with his gang in the direction of Loxley,
5 minutes later and Much was heading in the direction of Loxley with his bag loaded with food ready to be given to the townsmen of Loxley. As he walked he stopped in his tracks because he thought he heard a cry coming from somewhere in the forest, he soon threw away the task at hand and followed his pang of curiosity.
He scaled a small hill and laid flat on his stomach so he was not seen: When he peered into the clearing he saw the stretched out figure of Gisborne and a robed figure who was standing over him kicking him in the head, side, and arm.
There was more reaction when his right arm was kicked then any other place that was thought necessary, Much watched for just a moment longer until he knew he had seen enough, someone was torturing Gisborne. Instantly he crawled out of sight, then rose and ran as fast as he could in the direction of Loxley.
Meanwhile in Loxley,
Robin and his men were busy handing out food portions to the townspeople with amounts of money included, this was peaceful enough until Much came hurdling into the middle of town.
"Robin...Robin!" He called out,
"Much what is it?" Robin asked ready for anything,
"I...was...heading...to...Loxley...when I saw...I saw." He stuttered struggling for breath,
"What? What did you see?" Robin hurried,
"I...I saw Gisborne." He managed,
"What about Gisborne?" Allan asked now interested in what was going on,
"He's alive." Much said,
"Well he has to be alive if you saw him." Robin said,
"Yeah but someone's torturing him." He exclaimed,
"What?" Robin blurted out,
"Yeah I saw it their in a clearing halfway between Loxley and our camp." Much added,
"Allan, Much come with me...the rest of you stay here and hand out the food. It's time to end this." Robin ordered as he Allan, and Much ran off in the direction Much specified,
A short while later found the three men approaching the same hill that Much had peered over, when they poked their heads over the edge they could see that a small fire was going and the hooded figure was standing over Gisborne's sprawled figure.
"See what did I tell you." Much said,
"Why are they doing this what's the point?" Allan asked,
"I don't know but we're going to find out." Robin said as they continued to peer down at the sight before them,
They watched on for several more minutes watching the hooded figure torture Gisborne as he let out yells of pain and agony, the sight was starting to play at Robin's heart strings because even though he hated Gisborne this was no way to see it end.
In addition, it was not until the hooded figure dipped a stick in the fire and raise it to Gisborne's face did Robin take action, "Robin his going to sear Gisborne's face...we can't let him do that." Allan protested,
"I agree with Allan he might be our enemy but this is no way to see it end." Much concurred,
"I agree too this has gone far enough." Robin added, as he raised his bow and fired a single arrow, that struck the stick out of the hands of the one who sort to see Gisborne suffer,
"He has come at last." The hooded figure snickered evilly,
"Who...who has come?" Gisborne asked,
"Never mind you wouldn't know who he is anyway I'd just be wasting my breath if I told you." Madison replied, as she knelt down and cut the ropes that bound him,
"Whoever you are this has gone far enough, we don't stand for torture, step away from Gisborne and you're life will be spared." Robin warned,
"Come and get him if you want him." Madison shouted back her voice transformed to that of a man's, as she kicked Gisborne once more in the head. Just then, Robin and his men rose and began to run down the hill, but a small flick of an electronic device, that was hidden up Madison's sleeve, sent a disc flying through the air, it soon found a chain reaction taking place, as dozens of arrows shot out of nowhere.
"Split up and take cover meet me back here later!" Robin yelled, as an arrow shot just over their heads, this sent them running back over the hill in three directions, while Madison slumped Gisborne over the back of her spare horse. She quickly bound him before she slapped the horses rump making it run off, she soon set out after Much who had run off in her direction.
Allan and Robin however continued to run as arrows continued to be shot at them from all directions, But Much was in trouble as Madison began closing in on him, He knew running was a waste of time so he turned to face his attacker.
Madison however saw him now as an easy target because she soon retrieved a blowpipe and shot him in the neck, he soon fell to the ground unconscious.
While Allan and Robin continued to run, Madison was now taking her newly found prize back to her cave, the arrows that shot from nowhere seemed to be endless until a few more minutes of dodging had had elapsed and the arrows had ceased to fire.
When they ceased Robin began making his way back to the clearing, as he walked he noticed ropes lying on the ground, he knelt down and picked on up, cautious of what was going to happen next he pulled it and pinned himself to the ground, just as another arrow shot over his head. It was a trap that had succeeded in making them come to save Gisborne, but he couldn't understand why? For what purpose was this done, they had all escaped, well to Robin's knowledge they had. Therefore, he rose and avoided the way he had come, to return to the clearing, when he returned he saw Allan come hurdling out of the surrounding woods, "Allan it's a trap." Robin called out,
"Yeah I know there are ropes lying on the ground, you stand on one and an arrow is shot at you." Allan said regaining most of his cheekiness, "What I don't understand is why for what purpose was this done?" Allan continued,
"I don't know but whoever this Angel of Death is they want to kill us." Robin said taking in deep breaths to regain his energy,
"Hang on...where's Much?" Allan asked puzzled,
"What? Where is he?" Robin asked not wanting to face the obvious,
"Much!" Allan called out,
"Much! Much!" Robin called,
"They've got him." Allan said facing the obvious, While Robin cursed under his breath. In addition, just then they were interrupted by the rest of the gang who came hurdling into the clearing along side them.
"What's going on down here?" John asked breathless,
"It's a trap is everyone okay?" Robin asked,
"Besides running straight into a gauntlet Robin...yes we're fine just a little shaken up." Tuck replied,
"Where's Much?" Kate asked,
"They have him." He said disappointedly,
"Who has him? Isabella?" She asked again,
"No the one torturing Gisborne." Allan replied,
"Well we've got to find him before they kill him." John said concerned for his friend,
"I know John but we don't know where to look." Robin said angrily,
Hey sorry to leave you in suspense or whatever, but it has taken me a while to make this chapter and I wanted to get it up as soon as possible. R, R, and R.
