Chapter 10,

A Saracen I Am,

Road to Nottingham,

Isabella waited just infront of the castle on her white horse she rode over to Madison as they came into sight, "Where's my brother?" Isabella demanded, unaware that he was behind Madison, Madison dismounted and untied the rope on Gisborne's hands and dragged him into Isabella's sight. Isabella quickly dismounted and ran over to him just as he was dropped to the ground, "I can't see why you would want him, and he doesn't look like much?" Madison asked, as she pushed his head to the side with the point of her boot.

"We had a deal now I want my brother." Isabella reminded,

"Yes we did his yours take him." Madison said, dismissing the man that lay before him as she turned and went to mount her horse.

"Trying to kill him along the way was not a part of the deal...Guards!" Isabella yelled,

"I thought you wanted you're Brother Isabella?" Madison turned and yelled, as she instantly ripped off her cloak, which revealed a red, pure silk, Saracen warrior outfit; she instantly whipped out dual swords, before she gave a Saracen war cry. She quickly ran over to the guards and she raised her swords and sliced his neck, while others ran up behind her, she quickly kicked them in the chest and knocked them to the ground. She dived and stabbed them before she rose to engage in hand-to-hand combat with two others, their swords clashed several times, before the guards lost the fight and he were stabbed in the chest. When she did this, she looked up to see that a group of soldiers had surrounded her, she waved her swords around, through her fingers as if it was second to breathing, before she let out another war cry and clashed swords once again with several of the guards. While this went on Isabella was trying to get Gisborne on her horse so she could take him into the castle, but his weight was not on her side, because she could not manage to lift him enough.

"Guy...Guy wake up this is no time to be meeting with unconsciousness." Isabella said, as she slapped his cheek trying to revive him,

Madison continued to attack the guards, she ducked sword swipes, and dodged them, before she dropped to the ground and swept several of them off their feet, she then rose to block a sword blow, with one sword as she stabbed him with the other. With only four guards left, Isabella had to do something but she did not know what to do, until she decided to drag him into the forest, and with Gisborne unconscious, it did not make matters easier, but she managed to drag him into the concealment of the forest.

There was only one guard left as Madison twisted his arm behind him and sliced his neck, he then dropped to the ground, Madison then began the hunt for Isabella and her brother leaving the battlefield strewn with the dead bodies of palace guards. She ran into the forest, her swords still drawn as she scanned the area for her, as she looked she saw a part of her silken dress flapping in the breeze from behind a tree. She quietly walked up behind the tree before she placed the cold steel of her blade on her neck, she quickly appeared into view.

"Did you really think you could get away with it Isabella?" She asked mockingly, "You tried to betray me. Why? We had a deal?" Madison said as if she was hurt by her actions,

"You tried to kill my brother." Isabella replied,

"I know I thought I was doing you a favor I thought you would be happy I was saving you a task." Madison replied,

"He may be my enemy but he is still my brother and I will kill him humanely." She replied,

"I told you what would happen if you tried to cross me Isabella now you're brother dies." Madison reminded, as she walked over to his lifeless body, and placed her sword on the soft part of his neck.

"No don't kill him I still held my side of the bargain." Isabella reminded,

"Yes you did but you still crossed me and I will not tolerate that." Madison replied as she slid the blade slightly on Gisborne's neck revealing a trickle of blood,

"Stop!" Isabella yelled as she drew her own dagger,

"Come now Isabella I made mince meat out of you're guards why would you want me to do the same to you?" Madison asked,

"Because he's my brother." Isabella snapped,

"A brother who sold you when you were thirteen that's hardly a brother." Madison replied, as she plunged an attack at Isabella,

"Yes but with amnesia I can make him what I want him to be." Isabella replied, as she plunged an attack at Madison,

"Really now I knew there was a special reason why you would want him back after all he had done to you." She said as she swung her sword by Isabella's head,

"Toobad you will never see you're brother alive again." Madison snapped as she struck Isabella across the face hard enough to knock her out,

"Well Gisborne it appears you're worth more than people let on I might just enjoy hurting you." Madison said as she picked him up and dragged him over to her horse, and retied him to the rope that was attached, to her saddle horn, before she retrieved her robe that lay on the ground, and packed it in her saddlebag.

Madison's lair,

Much and Allan were desperate to find a way to escape, because they had to warn Robin of Madison, because if he trusted her enough to allow the escort, then perhaps he would trust her with other things. If he did, they both knew, it would mean certain death for their leader and friend, they were interrupted however when they heard the footsteps of someone coming towards them.

"It's a Saracen." Much blurted out, "Much." Allan hushed,

"A Saracen warrior yes I am, by blood no, I brought you two a present I thought you might like." Madison said, as she unlocked the door and threw Gisborne inside with them. Gisborne made a weak protest as he hit the hard floor of the cave, he landed face first, and for the first time, both the occupants of the cell saw the full extent of his injuries. When Madison left, Much quickly knelt beside Gisborne and inspected his wounds. There were several deep cuts in his back, they were dirty, and had to be cleaned to prevent infection, neither of them knew much about medicine but Much did know several things that he had learned from watching Tuck work. With Allan's help they gently turned him onto his back, and lay him on the fur blanket that was left in there cell, Gisborne's breathing was heavy and labored, but he was conscious, and looked up at Allan with dilated pupils. "Allan?" Gisborne asked, "I remember you...you were my right hand man." Gisborne said with a half-forced smile, and a gasp for breathe,

"Well you better remember me after all..." Allan trailed off; as Much gave, him a signal that specified "enough", Much and Allan both supported his head with their arms, as they sensed him falling into the awaiting arms of either death or unconsciousness.

"You knew me once...what was I like?" Gisborne asked, sensing he was drifting off,

"You were second in command to the Sheriff of Nottingham you were a good man." Allan lied trying to make Gisborne feel better,

"You're lying." Was all Gisborne managed to say before his head tilts sideways, and his eyes closed, he was readily accepting unconsciousness. They laid his head down on the cool stone floor, before they exchanged a glance; Allan was the first to speak, "What was that all about?" He asked,

"He has amnesia." Much replied simply,

"What?" Allan asked again,

"I said he has amnesia...He already asked me who he was, I told him about Marian, but he got upset so I lied and I told him he didn't kill her." Much replied,

"What I suppose you told him Robin killed her." Allan joked,

"No I told him he saw the men who did it hang in Nottingham courtyard, but it appears he remembers something about his past because he called you a liar." Much answered, as he placed a hand on Gisborne's forehead, he was burning hot to the touch; it was evident that he had a fever probably caused by the wounds on his back.

"Me a liar you spun a better story then I did." Allan added,

"Well that's not what matters right now he needs care, there's water coming in here through the wall over there, take this piece of cloth and soak it in the water he has a fever, and I need to clean his wounds." Much asked,

"And since when have you been so good at medicine or caring for people?" Allan asked in return,

"Since when I always knew about it." Much replied protecting his pride,

"You mean since you watched Tuck." Allan corrected,

"Pretty much the same thing now are you going to help me or not?" He asked dismissing their conversation,

"Fine but this is all you're fault if he dies, you told me what to do." Allan said in defeat as he retrieved the cloth, and dipped it in the small pool of clean fresh water, while Much turned Gisborne onto his back, as he shifted the fur blanket so he could lay him on it.

Outlaw's camp,

Robin was starting to wander where Allan was because he surely should have been back by now, Kate noticing this spoke, "Hey Robin what's wrong?" She asked, as she placed a hand on his shoulder,

"It's Allan he should be back by now I can't help but think something has happened to him." Robin replied, expressing his concern,

"I'm sure he'll be fine Robin." Kate said, trying to reassure him,

"Yeah but I'm going to check anyway stay here I'll be right back." Robin said, as he retrieved his bow and ran off into the forest,
