Chapter 26

Since there was not much to do, we all kinda stayed around camp, while Robin went out and checked out things.   ●●●●

"Sirena." A voice called from behind me.

I turned to face Allan. "Yes, my love."

"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to go for a walk in the forest. Just us." Allan suggested.

I grabbed his and hand smiled. "I would love to."

We went for walk through the woods. Our fingers were entwined together. It was lovely.

"Where do you want to move to when this is all over?" Allan asked with strange tone in his voice.

"Anywhere as long as we are together."

●●●●

Robin has not yet came back. Once night fell, we started to get worried. It's been a day since he left.

Allan and I were out collecting fire wood. He was carrying a big bundle of wood and a was carrying this little bag of sticks. Allan wouldn't let me carry alot of weight because he didn't want me to get hurt.

I picked a twig off a tree and threw it at Allan. It hit him the head. I quickly looked away and pretended that I didn't know what happened. He looked back and stopped.

"Alright, that is the tenth twig you threw at me." Allan said, putting his hand on his hip.

"What twig? I've been walking and looking at your butt the while time."

Allan set down the bundle of wood and came close to me. He slid his hands around my waist. "You're gonna get it." He whispered.

I pushed him away and started run. Good thing I'm not that far along otherwise it would hard to run.

"Get back here." Allan shouted.

"No." I screamed, laughing.

Since Allan was faster than me, he caught me. Allan grabbed my waist and pulled me back to him. "Gotcha."

I groaned as he leaned in and kissed.

"Ewwww." I said, wiping my lips. "Boy germs!!"

"Wow. Aren't you nice."

We both laughed and went back to get the wood. Allan took my hand in his and continued walking back to the camp.

Walking up a hill, we could hear someone fighting. Allan and I looked at each other and ran to the noise. Robin and Guy were fight down the hill.

"Stay here. I'm gonna get the others." Allan told before running to the camp, which was not too far from here.

In a matter of seconds everyone else was next to me. Much lifted his bow and arrow and released. The was going for Guy, but Robin pushed him out of the way. We all ran down down to help. Tuck tackled Guy and pinned him to the ground. John was going to kill Guy.

"No! He's one of us!" Robin shouted.

Allan held me, I won't forget what Guy did. I have scars because Guy.

We all went back to the camp. Everyone was furious at this situation, especially John.

"So that's where you been? With him?" John angrily questioned Robin.

"I've been with my father, John." Robin replied.

We were surprised. We all thought his father was dead.

"I thought your father was dead." Much popped in his words.

I took Allan's arm and wrapped it around me. I felt uncomfortable with Guy here.

"So did I."

"He's not one of us, Robin, and he never will be!" John shouted. His voice struck with hatred.

Robin remained calm. "Gisborne has chosen to join us in our struggle, John."

"You can't trust him." John said, a little more calmly this time.

Robin looked around with a sly smile. "He killed the Sheriff."

"And we're almost family, aren't we, Robin." Guy said. His voice still cold and deep sounding.

I already knew Gisborne killed my father. But it is was funny watching Much's reaction.

"We share a brother." Guy said.

"What? A brother?" Much questioned. He looked at Guy then at Robin. "Both of you?"

Robin nodded. "My father... His mother. Our brother is in jail in York awaiting execution. And I promise my dying father, and I intend to honor it. Me and Gisborne will go to York and bring him back. If it were any of you, you know I'd do the same." His words were clean and understandable.

"He's pure evil, Robin." I said, brushing off Allan's arm, and coming I'm the light.

"Do you still believe good conquers evil? You need me to defeat Isabella, and to do that, we need out brother in York." Gisborne coldly answered.

I stepped back, back to Allan. Staring at Guy, who was watching me.

"Who is this brother?" Tuck wisely asked.

"His name is Archer, we've never met. All I know is he's traveled far and wide and has a knowledge of exotic weapons he's brought back from the East." Robin said with a big sigh.

Guy looked away. "Isabella's forces are far greater than ours. Archer's weapons will make us stronger.

Much walked over to Robin. "We all go."

"And who will protect the people from Isabella?" Robin replied.

"And who's gonna protect you?" Much quickly said back.

"Much, I'll be safe. No one is going to recognize me and Gisborne in York." Robin started to get up. "I'll be back soon."

Everyone kinda went off. Allan went somewhere and left me. Guy came over to me.

"Look, Sirena, I'm sorry about what happened. All of that was just business. I wish I could take it back, but I can't." His deep voice pierced my ears.

"You hurt me and you killed my father. Why should I forgive you?" I questioned, gritting my teeth.

Guy looked up and scoffed. "Sirena..."

"No!" I shouted, cutting him off. "You captured me and you tortured me. It's hard to forgive someone when they've done so much to hurt you." Then I walked away.

●●●●

It was Tuck, Much, John, Allan's, and I after Robin and Guy left. We where on our way to deliver food, when Tuck and John started arguing. Allan and I were behind a bit, so when we reached the rest, John was leaving. He dropped everything, even his staff.

On the way back Allan slowed down and got the bundle of wood he dropped in the morning. Little John was still not back. Allan decided to go find him, but insisted that I stayed at the camp.

I was sitting by the fire, throwing sticks into the fire.

"Are you happy?" Much asked, sitting next to me. "With Allan?"

I ran my hand up my arm. "Of I do. Why do you ask?"

Much shrugged. "I don't know. I don't want to see you or Allan get hurt."

I put my hand on Much's shoulder. "Don't worry. When this is all over Allan and I are going to move and live happily with our baby."

Much leaned in and hugged me. "I hope that happens."

"Me too."

I was making Allan and mine bed. Suddenly, I could hear heavy breathing and the crunching of leaves. When I looked over, I saw him and John running down the hill into camp.

"Robin's in trouble." John said, out of breath. "Isabella's on her way to York with her guards."

I ran to Allan and gave him a hug.

"Get your weapons, dear." Allan said, breathing hard.

I turned and grabbed my sword and daggers that I hide all over my body.

"We'll have to cut across the forest, then, try and get on the to York road ahead of her." Allan suggested.

I placed my daggers in the their spots. "Well, let's go."

Then we were off.

All the running was a pain. I can feel the baby. This running can't be good for the baby. So I stopped for a bit.

"Sirena, we have to go." Allan imformed.

"I don't know if I can. All this running it's good for the baby." I told Allan.

Suddenly I was picked up and thrown over Tucks shoulder.

●●●●

We all were in position. Allan had his bow and arrow pointing at a tree. He kept saying now. When Tuck said shoot, Allan shot the arrow, which had a rope tied to it. The rope flew with the arrow and knock two guards off their horses. Leaving Isabella alone. Then we had to run out and fight the rest of the guards coming. I stood back a second to watch Allan fight. It was hot.

Sadly, Isabella got away, but we continued running. Allan gave me a ride on his back while running.

●●●●

We made it to York, only see that Guy, Robin, and their brother were going to be hanged.

I will be honest and say that Acher was good looking...

Tuck sent Much and John to the right and Allan and I to left.

There was this weird thing of smoke and Robin, Guy, and their brother were free.

We watched Acher leave, but not with us.

Guy looked at Acher with a confused look on his face. "He stole my horse." Guy said.

I looked at Allan and started to laugh.
