Chapter
1 A Good Surprise
The gang couldn’t believe it, their faces were just stunned,
Marian was right all along Gisbourne was leaving Locksley Manor the
king found out that he was the one who tried to kill him in the Holy
land
"Master this is a amazing we can go home again you can become a lord
again this causes for a feast"
"It might be great for you and Robin but the rest of us have no home or
family to go to" replied Will
"Yeah we are still outlaws" said Allen
"i don’t really want to go back anymore because Alice and
John wont be there and i don’t want to live on my own" Little
John said sadly as a tear came down his face thinking of them he missed
them deeply
"We are not going back” Robin announced
"WHAT!!!!!!!!!! Master why not" Much looked in horror.
The gang looked at Robin wondering why he wasn’t going back
because that’s what he always wanted, except helping the poor
and getting rid of the Sheriff and Gisbourne. But now Gisbourne was
going and Robin still didn’t want to go back all the gang
were confused.
"We are not going back MUCH because something isn’t right
that’s why"
"What do you mean Master"
"I mean Gisbourne wouldn’t just leave he and the Sheriff
would of planed a way out of trying to fool the King that he
wasn’t the one tried to kill him"
"So you are saying Marian was lying to us all along the cheek and she
is suppose to be in LOVE with you Robin" Roy said nastily
"No No No Marian would never lie to me I trust her with all my heart
she is one person that will never let me down she’s the most
trusting person in the world"
"And you also love her Master"
Robin smiled sweetly "Yes Much I love her more than life itself and i
know she loves me to otherwise she wouldn’t of left Gisbourne
at the alter. Anyway back to the subject i think Gisbourne"
Before Robin could finish what he was saying a loud and frighting
scream came from Locksley Manor a scream of terror, a scream for help
"Master don’t tell me its" Much said in a nervous tone
"Yes much its Marian she needs me come on gang we need to save her"
"sure Robin but what do you think Gisbourne is doing to her" Allan
asked
"I don’t know Allan but I know I nearly lost her once and I
thought my life was over when i thought she died I am not going to lose
her again. And because I love her"
CHAPTER 2 - We can Trust Him
Robin and the gang ran to Loxley Manor with their weapons held high
“Come on faster, Marian is suffering, if anything should
happen to her” Robin was terrified for Marian’s
safety
“Master we will save her she won’t be
harmed” Much was trying to calm him down
“Much is right Robin we will save her before Gisbourne does
anything stupid” Will replied
“I know you mean well lads but if Gisbourne has touched her
in anyway I will KILL him I cannot afford to lose her again”
Robin had tears coming down his cheek worried sick hoping his precious
Marian was ok, hoping he would reach her in time.
The screams were getting louder and louder Robin could hear Marian
scream his name “ROBIN ROBIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Robin and the gang reached Loxley Manor but they couldn’t get
in all the doors were locked Robin became furious
“What the hell is Gisbourne playing at when I get my hands on
him”
“Master I know you want to save Marian as quickly as possible
but we have a problem a BIG problem LOOK”
Robin turned round Gisbournes guards were surrounding them this is a
problem he didn’t want to worry about his mind was else were
on how to reach Marian.
“Master what do we do” Much and the rest of the
gang was waiting for an answer from Robin hoping he will say something
quickly.
“You know what you need to do lads” Robin gave a
wink.
All the gang knew what they had to do they never asked any questions,
the FIGHTING began. John had already knocked half the guards into a
deep sleep and while the rest of the gang were tying the guards up
against the tree they didn’t notice Robin heading to the back
of Loxley and climbing through a back window he noticed while fighting.
“Where is Robin” Allan asked looking around for him
“Oh NO we’ve lost my Master NO this can not be
happening not now” Much was petrified he couldn’t
see robin anywhere.
“I know were he has gone he’s gone to save
Marian” Will replied “don’t
worry”
“DON’T worry how can I not worry he’s my
Master and you have seen the way he is he’s ready to kill
Gisbourne”
“You just have to trust him that he won’t do that
because he is a better man than Gisbourne”
Much knew that Little John was right they had to trust Robin they had
to believe that Robin wouldn’t do anything stupid or would
he?
They just had to wait and find out.
Chapter 3- Marians secret
“I wonder what your Robin would say if he found out your
secret” Gisbourne laughed sneakily at Marian “he
won’t stay with you when he finds out”
“ well you don’t Robin do you not like I do he
loves me for just being me, me being the person I want to be and I love
him and I know he would never leave me. Robin and I we will never be
apart no matter how hard you try to make trouble for us”
“That might be so Marian but you are lying to him
aren’t you. He’s not going to be happy”
“I’m not lying to him at all I’ve just
not had the chance to tell him since you are keeping me hostage, I was
and still am going to tell him when he comes to get me as he will know
now something is wrong” Marian was trying to stay brave and
not show her fear of Gisbourne
“I don’t think he will reach you Marian as my
guards will have them surrounded” Gisbourne was feeling
really pleased with himself.
“You don’t know Robin, Robin will be here I know he
will”
Robin at this point was in the house and heard everything that was
said. What had Marian not of told him and how did Gisbourne find out?
But he didn’t care if it was bad news because no matter what
the news was, one thing was for sure he would never leave Marian like
Gisbourne had said he would. His plan was to get Marian away from
Gisbourne take her back to the gang’s camp and wait for her
to tell him what the news was. For a moment he forgot everything when
he saw Gisbourne grabbing hold of Marian’s neck.
“That’s no way to treat a Lady is it
Gisbourne” Robin appeared on top of the stairs
“Robin I knew you would come” Marian head butted
Gisbourne on the nose so he would set her free and he did, she ran
towards Robin and Robin ran towards her.
“Marian my love are you alright”
“I’m much better now that you are with
me” Marian held Robin tightly never wanting to let him go
Robin also did the same and whispered into her ear softly “I
love you”
Marian kissed him passionately “I love you to Robin what
would I do with out you” she gave him a wink.
“Come on lets go home” Robin said sweetly
“I thought you would never ask” Marian giggled
“But before we go Gisbourne how does it feel now getting
beaten by a most strong brave women” Robin laughed
Gisbourne got up still holding his nose” she won’t
be that strong and brave in a few months”Gisbourne starred
“What’s that supposed to mean” Robin
replied
“Robin lets just go” Marian dragged him away but
giving Gisbourne an evil look.
Back at camp
Robin, Marian and the gang reached camp Dajaq was making the food ready
for them to return
“Food finally I’m straving” Much mumbled
with glee
“Is that all you think about Much” the rest of the
gang laughed
“Marian we need to talk about what Gisbourne was saying. What
did he mean?”
“Not now Robin I’m going for lie-down I don feel
too good”
Marian went for a lie down but Robin was worried this wasn’t
like Marian to be quite. Suddenly Marian was being sick everywhere
“Quick Dajaq go and help Marian”
Dajaq went over to Marian, Robin stayed back to let Dajaq to get on
with what she needed to do but he was really worried and scared he had
never been more scared in his life except the time he thought Marian
was dead. After a short while Dajaq came back with a shocked face
“Dajaq what is it was wrong? Tell me” Robin pleaded
“Go and talk to Marian” she said
Robin went over to Marian nervously
“Robin sit down there’s something you need to know
Marian said
“Marian your not dieing are you” Robin started to
cry
Marian laughed “Robin don’t be silly
you’re not getting rid of me that quick I’m going
to tell you the reason why I’m sick”
“What is it Marian you are scaring me now”
“Robin the reason I am sick is because I’m
pregnant”
Robin was god smacked “You pregnant”
“Yes I am your going to be a father that’s what
Gisbourne found out before”
“A father? I’m going to be a father”
Robins eyes sparkled up with glee
“Are you happy Robin” Marian asked
“I am more than happy Marian I feel like the luckiest man in
the world”
Robin bent down and kissed Marian softly on the lips then put his hand
on her belly feeling his unborn child growing inside
“I’m going to be the best dad in the world to
you” Robin said to the belly even though he knew the baby
would not be able to hear him
Chapter 4- Brother Advice
That night Robin could not sleep he was so excited; he and Marian were
going to be parents, he imagined in his head what it would be like,
would they have a little girl or a little boy? If they had a girl she
would grow up to be as strong and brave and beautiful as Marian. If
they had a boy he would grow up to follow in his footsteps when he had
gone, he would also protect the poor. He looked round to Marian who was
peacefully sleeping, he gazed at her with such passion, and he bent
down and kissed her soft tender cheek and whispered “what did
I do to make someone as special as you to fall in love with
me”
At that moment Robin heard a noise he went to check it out, it was Much
he had a very worried face on him and Robin knew when something was on
his mind
“Much for goodness sack I could have killed you “
“Sorry Master did I wake you”
“No you didn’t. Much my friend what’s
wrong”
“Nothing Master” Much replied
“Much I have known you all my life you are like a brother to
me and I know when you are feeling down. Please tell me
what’s on your mind”
Much took a minute before he spoke “Master I am
lonely”
“Lonely? Much what do you mean” Robin was confused
how can he be lonely.
“Master I look at you and Marian and you are so happy
together so much in love it’s just got me thinking of someone
that I love”
“Who Much” Robin was really confused he
didn’t think Much had fallen in love with someone and he
never knew it.
“Eve Master”
“Eve? Oh Eve”
“Yes master I loved her from the moment I saw her and now
I’ve just realised how much I do love her when I see the way
you and Marian are I want that so badly with Eve”
Robin had no idea Much felt like this he knew Much was being honest and
it was breaking his heart that he couldn’t be with Eve.
“Well you know what we got to do”
“What do you mean master” Much answered
“Well my friend we are going to find Eve and reunite you to
back together”
“Oh Master thank you , but wait I don’t know were
she is as she had to run away so the Sheriff wouldn’t find
her and have her killed by betraying him” Muchs face turned
from happy to excitement to sadness “we will never find
her”
“We will Much I promise you we will find her. Now go and get
some sleep tomorrow we are finding Eve”
Much hugged Robin tightly tears of joy came down his face
“Master you are the best how can I ever repay you”
“Just promise me that you will always come and talk if you
have something on your mind we are brothers and always will
be”
“brothers we will always be master” Much walked
back to his sleeping spot, Robin watched for a while then headed back
to his precious Marian who seemed to have the most fantastic dream and
just before he fell asleep the whispered softly “I love you
Marian and goodnight my little one” he already had in mind
what he wanted to call his child if it was a boy he wanted to name him
after his brother and his best friend Much. He lay down besides Marian
holding her hand kissed her belly and peacefully fell asleep.
Chapter 5- Beautiful Moment to Disaster
That day Robin and the rest of the gang went searching for Eve only
Marian stayed at camp. She was really bored, and really wanted Robin to
come back, she had nothing really to do she couldn’t clean up
because there was nothing to clean around the camp. All she could was
sit and wait; she started talking to her unborn child “Me and
your daddy are looking forward to you coming. I know when you are born
its going to be difficult as your daddy is an outlaw and we are not
supposed to talk to them but I want you to know that what ever you hear
about your father if there is anything bad said about him its not true,
your father is the most handsome and caring man I’ve ever met
and you will love him as much as I do” Marian started smiling
to herself everything was the way it should be, her and Robin together
and having a family.
It was really quite in camp Marian was about to have a lie-down until
suddenly she heard voices, Robin was back, Marian got up and shouted
“Robin”
Robin ran towards her lifting her in the air “Marian oh
Marian I’ve missed you today”
Marian started to laugh
“What’s so funny” Robin gave her a wink
“You are a fool, you have only been gone 5 hours, but I
missed you to, we both did” she looked down at her belly
rubbing it gently then kissed Robin passionately
“So did you find Eve” Marian asked
“No not today we were going to carry on looking but Master
wanted to come back to you” Much answered “but
he’s promised to carry on searching tomorrow”
“Robin has only spoken about you and the baby
today” the rest of the gang laughed
“Robin what are you like” Marian hugged him tight,
Robin just gazed at her she was his guardian angel
“Master isn’t there something you have to tell
Marian”
“Yeah wake up Robin” Allan laughed
“Ok Marian on our way back to camp we saw your father he
asked if you stayed with me last night and he’s asked if we
both go to Knighton Hall”
“Well what are we waiting for come on lets go”
Marian and Robin walked hand in hand to Knighton Hall more in love than
ever just like they were before Robin left for the Holy Land it was the
most beautiful moment that they wanted to last for ever
“Robin nothing will separate us again will it”
“Marian we will never be a part again I promise
you”
“I was hoping you would say that” Marian smiled
sweetly
Robin kissed her on her forehead
“Robin did you mention to my father that I was
pregnant”
“No I didn’t Marian”
“Good I want him to hear it from me. Do you think he will be
pleased?” Marian looked worried
“I’m sure he will be thrilled for us
both” they both started giggling like teenagers again.
They did notice that they reached Knighton Hall till Edward called them
“Marian”
“Father” Marian gave him a hug
“Robin”
“Sir Edward”
“Well don’t just stand there come in before the
Sheriffs men see”
“Father there is something I need to tell you”
“What is it Marian”
“Father I’m pregnant”
“Is it Robins?”
“Of course it is it would never been Gisbournes”
“Will you please leave me and Robin for a minute?”
“Father why” Marian looked scared she
didn’t want to leave Robin
“Just go up to your room it’s a man
thing”
“Marian go I will be alright I will follow you up
soon”
Edward and Robin watched Marian go upstairs and into her room.
“Sir Edward I will take good care of your daughter and our
child”
“Sit down Robin” Edward looked really nervous and
worried
“Robin I didn’t want to mention this in front of
Marian and it makes it even harder now I know she’s
pregnant”
“What’s wrong?”
“I already knew Marian was pregnant as I heard Gisbourne
mention it to the Sheriff they are going to have her killed for getting
involved with you and I cant let that happen to her or my grandchild ,
so tonight we are leaving Knighton Hall and never coming back until the
king is back in England again. I’m sorry Robin you might not
see Marian again”
Robin couldn’t believe what he had just heard, how could he
live without seeing Marian he promised her just this morning that they
will never be apart, and now he might lose her for good this time not
only her but his unborn child to.
Chapter 6- Hearts Falling Apart
Robin’s heart was broken in two all his plans he had for the
future crushed, his plans of him and Marian bringing up their son or
daughter vanished into thin air. How could this be happening he
thought? After trying so hard to get her back, after everything that
went on with Gisbourne now he may lose her for good.
“You have to tell Marian” Edward said
“Tell her, how can I tell the women I love that she has to
leave because she might be killed and that she might never come back,
how Edward how?” Robin started to cry
“You know Robin it’s the right thing for Marian and
if you care about her”
“Care I LOVE her Edward I cant let her go”
“Just go and tell her please she will listen to you.
Robin went up to Marian’s room drying his tears away he
knocked on her door
“Come in”
Robin opened the door, when Marian saw him her face was lightened up
with such happiness Robin knew her heart will be broken when he tells
her she has to leave
“Robin come here, feel” Marian put out her hand to
reach his she took his hand and placed it on her belly “can
you feel our baby kicking he/she is saying hello to their
daddy”
Robin couldn’t believe it he could feel his baby moving
inside the women he loved he had never been so happy knowing there was
a life inside Marian that he was apart of but then he remember what he
had to do
“Marian you know that I love you and I always will”
“Yes Robin I know you do, I love you to what’s this
about”
“Marian the Sheriff and Gisbourne are going to kill you
because you got involved with me, your Father overheard them. You and
your Father are leaving Knighton Hall tonight and you might not
return”
Marian started to cry “no Robin no I don’t want to
go I want to stay here with you I love you so much”
Robin took Marian in his arms and held her tight he started to cry even
more.
Robin and Marian were so much in love they found there way back to each
other and now they couldn’t believe they may never see each
other again the pain was to much
“What are we going to do Robin” Marian had wet his
shirt in tears
“I don’t know Marian I really don’t
know”
Robin kissed her head and held her tight knowing they may never do it
again until King Richard returns
Chapter 7-Still in Love With Her/ Gang in shock
“I’m very pleased Gisbourne, very pleased indeed,
this would finish Robin for good when he finds out Marian is dead, and
not only her but his unborn child to o0o0o0o Gisbourne this is going to
be a good hanging”
“Yes my lord it will be great to get my own back on both of
them, Robin for taking Marian away from me and Marian for embarrassing
me at Loxley”
“you are still in love with her aren’t you
Gisbourne I bet you will go to Knighton Hall before you arrest her and
tell her she has a choice she can be safe if she returns to you, well
Gisbourne a clue … no, she will not come back to you will
she, you know that and I know that, we both know her heart belongs to
HOOD”
Gisbourne felt hate and anger when the Sheriff said that, he knew that
he was right Marian would never return to him and she was pregnant with
Robin’s baby and there was nothing he could do he was still
in love with her no matter how much pain she caused him
“Gisbourne wake up we have to go to Knighton Hall to arrest
Marian”
“Yes my Lord”
“Well go on then we can’t keep the lady waiting can
we” the sheriff laughed
Gisbourne had pictures of Marian in is head he truly loved her but she
betrayed him she had to be killed but as he thought of this a slight
tear came softly down his cheek
Back at camp
Back at camp the gang were wondering why Robin and Marian
hadn’t returned from Knighton Hall.
“I bet Marian has told her father she’s pregnant
and they are having a feast to celebrate and they have not asked us to
join” laughed Will
“Dajaq go and make us some food” Allan shouted
“Just because I’m a women does not mean I do
everything make it yourself”
“But I can’t cook” Allan replied
“Well then you can’t eat can you” Dajaq
laughed
All the gang started to laugh except Much he was staring out to
something
“Much what are you looking at” Little John said
curiously
“I’m looking at Robin walking up but without
Marian” Much looked worried
“With out Marian” Will said “he
wouldn’t not return with out her”
All the gang ran to were Much was to see if he was right and he was
Robin was walking up from the distance but not in a joyful mood like he
was that morning
“This I do not like” Little John said.
Robin finally reached the others but did not say a word to any of them
he just headed to his bed and laid down he had forgotten everything
around him his mind was on Marian.
Much came and sat down beside him
“Master are you alright”
“Much I’m fine just tired that’s
all”
“Ok then Master but were is Marian I thought she was
returning with you?”
“she’s gone away for a little while visiting family
to tell them the good news about her pregnancy” Robin had
tears in his eyes but hid them away from Much as he didn’t
want him to worry.
“When will she be back “
“I’m not sure Much soon I hope, could you leave me
for a while I’m going to go for a sleep”
“ok master” Much headed over to the rest of the
gang, Robin laid down thinking of the day events he still was in shock
but then he pulled out a piece of paper Marian gave him before he left
Knighton Hall which had in it “I will see you soon Robin you
will see me again when there is no more Gisbournes and sheriffs in this
world and when we shall meet again you also will meet our child.
Remember Robin that I love you and you will always have my heart I will
write to you each day, hopefully you will write back, look forward to
the future Robin because I know I am as I will be returning to you and
all though I’m not going to be with you for a while I will
always have you with me because of the life that’s growing
inside me the life we both made.
Take care of yourself Robin I love you always Marian”
Robin read Marians letter over and over again then placed it to his
heart were he would never loose it
“we will be together really soon I promise Marian, I
promise” he closed his eyes and pictured Marians face because
pictures was all he could have until her return which was going to be
really soon as tomorrow he would have to think of a plan
Chapter 8- wonders and wishes
A few years had passed Robin was still saving the poor with the rest of
the gang but he wasn’t the same without Marian he kept
wondering how she was, if she still missed him, if she was happy and if
she had had a little boy or girl. He had wondered every single day,
each night he would go to sleep with a picture of her in his mind and
would wake up thinking of her he wished he could have been with her now
helping her looking after their child helping her bring them up but he
wished most of all that he could tell her he loves her. He kept
thinking
“If I don't tell her now, I may never get the chance again,
to tell her that I need her tell her what I'm feeling, How would she
hear what's inside my heart, How would she know then, If I don't tell
her now”
It was so hard for him but he knew he had to be strong for Marian and
the gang also his child
Over in London at the same time Marian was thinking about Robin,
wondering how he was, wondering if he was thinking of her, wondering if
he was still safe, she even wondered if he was seeing someone. Marian
had never forget Robin he was her soul mate her true love, she kept
thinking
“How will you know you're inside my soul Robin, Oh it's
driving me crazy, Cause you don't see, you're the world to me,
That’s the way that I feel for you and I may never get the
chance again To tell you that I need you”
At that moment a little voice interrupted Marian’s thoughts
“Mummy I’m not feeling well”
“Oh sweethearts come here”
The little girl ran to Marian and laid on top of her
“Mummy can I ask you something”
“What is it Ella
“What is my daddy like tell me again about him?”
“Your father Ella is strong and brave he’s
everyone’s hero he cares about everyone”
“Does he care about me”
“Oh darling he loves you you’re his little girl and
do you know what”
“What?”
“you are the spiting image of him”
“I wish I could see him can we”
“infact Ella we will go tomorrow and find him”
“Yes please”
“Ok angel its time for your bed time tomorrow will be a long
day”
“Night mummy” Ella went to bed with the same cheeky
smile like Robin she turned around and said “I love you
mummy”
“I love you to Ella”
Marian closed her eyes and spoke “tomorrow Robin we will meet
again
Chapter 9- A New Friend? Or is it?
As dawn rose all the gang were preparing a surprise party for Robin as
it was his Birthday they were all excited
“This is going to be great” Will replied with at
great smile on his face
“Yeah there will be loads of food” Much said whilst
he daydreamed
“OH MUCH” the gang laughed
“It will show Robin how much he has done for us and how much
we are greatful” Dajaq sweetly smiling at Will
“We have to put these up” John said
“Put what up” all the gang turned to face Robin
fearing they were caught out
“Oh Nothing Master just hanging some clothes up”
“Ok I’m going for a little walk”
Robin left camp to go for a walk while he was walking he kept thinking
of Marian and his child he so badly wanted to be with them on his
Birthday but he knew it would never be
“Oh Marian I wish you were here with me I miss you terribly
there’s not a day goes by I don’t think of you and
my child who I haven’t met”
the peace of the silent forest was broken when Robin heard someone
crying he went to find more out.
Robin followed the sound of the crying it got louder and louder
eventually he got there, hiding behind a tree was a little girl crying
her little heart out
“Hello there why are you crying” Robin said
friendly
The little girl did not answer him she just looked at him she was
scared
“Its alright there’s no need to be afraid I wont
harm you, you are safe. What is your name?”
The little girl took a deep breath before she spoke to him
“My name is Ella”
“That’s a pretty name better than mine
I’m called Robin”
“That is a funny name Robin there are only birds called
Robins” Ella laughed
“That’s true Ella why are you in the forest on your
own?”
“I lost my mummy we left this morning to go and look for my
daddy make it a surprise for him, I was so looking forward to it my
mummy told me to stay close but a little butterfly caught my eye and
before you know it I wondered here and I’ve lost my
mummy” Ella started to cry again
Robin bent down and hugged Ella unaware she was his baby girl his
daughter he never had,
“It’s ok Ella I will help you find your mummy I
won’t leave you on your own I promise”
“Thank you sir”
Robin took hold of Ella’s hand they walked through the forest
“So Ella do you know were your daddy is as your mummy might
be there”
“I don’t know, I wish I did but I have never met my
father, I don’t even know his name. my mummy told me how
great and brave he was, we moved you see so my mummy wouldn’t
be in any danger, we left our home this morning to find him as I want
to see him and I knew my mummy wanted to as she loves him and misses
him”
“That’s the same for me Ella”
“What do you mean Robin?”
“Well Ella a few years ago a women I love had to leave for
her own protection, she was pregnant with my child, she has had it now
but I have no idea if she had a little boy or girl”
Ella gave Robin a little hug for comfort “maybe you should go
and surprise them like me and my mummy are doing, well if I find her
that is”
“I might do Ella, and we will find your mummy”
it was starting to get dark and cold little Ella was freezing Robin
picked her up and warp her warm in his arms
“Ella it’s getting dark now we won’t be
able to find your mummy tonight we are going to head back to wear I
live and tomorrow morning we will start looking again”
Robin did not notice as he was saying this Ella had fallen asleep in
his arms all warm and cosy cuddling him tight, he looked down and
smiled at the little girls beautiful face kissed her soft sweet head
and whispered “sleep tight little one”
Robin carried on walk to camp and promised himself he would not let his
new little best friend down he was determined to reunite mother and
daughter
Chapter 10 – Becoming part of the Gang
The next morning all the gang woke up to an extremely loud noise
“What the hell was that” Allan shouted
“E’rm I don’t think you will believe
this” Dajaq said Shockley
“What is it” Will asked
“It’s a little girl she’s in our
camp”
“Surely not” Much replied
the gang ran over to see if Dajaq was right they were all amazed, they
were wondering how the hell a little girl was in their camp
“I’m going to fetch Master” Much ran over
to Robin’s resting place shouting “Master, Master
wake up, wake up”
“Robin turned over slowly “what is it Much I am
trying to sleep I’ve got a busy day today”
“Sorry Master but you must come and see this”
Much took Robin were the rest of the gang were standing looking at Ella
still amazed
“Master look over there”
Robin looked over and saw Ella he pretended not to notice her to wind
the gang up “what am I looking at” he said trying
not to laugh
“The little girl Robin” John pointed
“What girl, I can’t see a girl”
“Robin are you going blind she’s right in front of
you” Will look curiously
“Nope my eyes are perfectly fine, but I can’t see a
girl” Robin was nearly in stitches this was the best laugh he
had in ages
All the gang were panicking
“What are we going to do Robin?”
“One moment lads, Ella come here, my friends would like to
say hello they are also going to help look for your mummy”
“Ella? Is that her name how you know her Robin”
Much asked
Before Robin could answer Much, Ella ran straight into
Robin’s arms
“Morning Robin” Ella gave Robin a kiss on the cheek
“She likes you Robin” the gang laughed
“Ella these are my friends Much, Allan, John, Will and
Dajaq”
“That man has a really big nose” Ella laughed
pointing to Much
“No I don’t”
All the gang were in stitches
“I do NOT have a big nose” Much covered his nose up
whilst getting embarrassed
“Her I like, she thinks the same things as you do
Robin” laughed John
“For the last time I DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT!!!!!! HAVE A
BIG NOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Oh Much she’s a little girl there is no need to go in a
mood” Robin said looking at Much who was acting stupid
“Well I don’t think its funny” Much went
in a little sulk
“Much grow up” the gang laughed
“I’m sorry I just say things that comes in into my
head” Ella went out of Robins arms and gave Much a hug, Much
was delighted and gave Ella a big hug in return
“Its ok Ella I forgive you”
“Thank you Ella gave Much a kiss on the head then looked at
him and said
“But really your nose is Really Really HUGE”
All the gang started to laugh
“I think little Ella is becoming apart of the gang”
Robin smiled
Chapter 11- Together Again
All that day Robin, Ella and the rest of the gang searched everywhere
for Ella mummy it was getting late now so the headed back to camp
“I will never find my mummy will I? I’ve lost her
for good”
“No Ella we will find her we will keep searching I
promise” Robin said softly
“Robin’s right we will find her” Much
said
“I wish I could believe you but I’ve lost my mummy
and now I will never find my daddy” Ella started to cry
“Please don’t cry you are with Robin Hood and his
gang we always keep our promises no matter how long it takes”
John reassured her
“Your mummy would be so proud of you being brave so would
your father”Dajaq replied.
Ella had a little smile on her face but Robin knew she was hurting, he
knew how she felt as he was hurting in the same way as her because he
was missing Marian, in a way Ella reminded him about Marian as she had
the same sprit and beauty as Marian, Ella had gave him comfort and he
wanted to do something to cheer her up
“Master why don’t you take Ella to see Loxley she
will like that”
“Good idea Much I will do”
“Ella would you like to visit somewhere I used to
live”
“Yes please”
Robin and Ella headed to Loxley; Ella was amazed when she saw Loxley to
her it was the most beautiful place in the world “its just as
I thought it would be” she said smiling”
“Thought it would be? What do you mean” Robin was
curious
“Sorry my mummy spoke of this place how my father lived
here”
Robin was amazed maybe they could find Ella’s mother after
all how on earth he could forget to check Loxley
“Let’s go and look for your mother in here shall we
Ella”
Robin waited for an answer but Ella didn’t reply he look down
but she wasn’t anywhere Robin started to panic
“Ella, Ella where are you
ELLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Robin looked all around him but could not see her, and then on the mud
he saw little footprints heading into Loxley
Robin ran straight into Loxley calling her name as loud as he could
hoping to get a reply, a voice called him in the distance
“Robin, Robin” Ella ran up to him with a big happy
smile on her face “I’ve found my mummy Robin,
I’ve found her, will you please come and meet her as I want
her to meet the person who as been helping me find her”
“Yes of course I will Ella”
“Thank you Robin”
Ella took hold of Robins hand she was looking forward to letting him
meet her mother as much as he was looking forward to it finally they
stopped
“Robin I would like you to meet my mummy”
Robin looked up he could not believe it , it must be a dream there in
front of him was his beloved Marian more beautiful than ever standing
there in front of him with the sunshine sparkling all around her she
looked like an angel
“Hello Robin I take it you have met our daughter
Ella” Marian replied happily
robin was just amazed he looked down at Ella a tear came down his face
a last he was with his beautiful wife and adorable daughter
“You are my daddy” Ella said sweetly she was
delighted
“I am oh my gosh I can’t believe it I’ve
found you at last both of you”
Robin picked up Ella and held her tightly after so long wanting to see
his child he finally found her he looked up at Marian and open one arm,
she ran straight into his arms with such passion tears was filling up
all there eyes
“Oh Robin how I’ve missed you so” Marian
cried with glee
“I’ve missed you to my love missed you both so
much”
“Can we be a family now for good” asked little Ella
“Yes sweetheart we can” Marian said kissing her
cheek
“We are together again at last” Robin whispered
The sun shined on them brightly they we all so happy they had found
each other at last.
Chapter 12- Our Beautiful Ella Our Future
Robin, Marian and Ella walked back to camp hand in hand with Ella in
the middle as she wanted to hold her mummy and daddy’s hand
all the gang was surprised to see Marian again
“Lady Marian”
“Marian”
“Hello Marian”
“Hello Lady Marian”
“Hello everyone it’s nice to see you all
again” Marian smiled
“Everyone this is Ella’s mum” Robin
replied
Everyone looked at Ella and then Marian then at Robin they could see
Ella had Marian’s looks and Robin’s sprit
“Robin is my daddy” Ella shouted with delight
Everyone started to laugh she was a lot like Robin she always came out
straight about what she was thinking and saying
“Its time for you to go to sleep Ella”
“Yes mummy, will you take me to bed daddy”
Robin had never been so proud to hear someone call him
“daddy” it was the best feeling in the world, Robin
carried Ella to his resting place and laid her down
“Goodnight Daddy I love you”
Robin still couldn’t believe that this beautiful little was
his daughter the child he helped to make he was so happy that she was
his little girl “Goodnight Ella sweet dreams I love
you”
Robin waited with her until she feel asleep she looked so peaceful so
calm and beautiful, this moment he would keep in his heart, like the
moment when he first time he and Marian. Two precious memories that
would last for a life time
“Robin” a sweet voice called
Robin turned round to see Marian smiling at him sweetly she came and
bent down beside him
“She’s fallen asleep then”
“Yeah she has, oh Marian how could I’ve had made
this beautiful little girl mine” he smiled
Marian laughed “Robin it’s because you are
beautiful”
Robin turned to Marian and gave her a wink “Ella has the same
beauty as her Mother” Robin looked at Marian, Marian smiled
back to him “Ella has the same sprit and soul as her
Father” Marian said back to him.
Marian and Robin sat and looked into each others eyes, Robin moved
closer and closer towards Marian their lips finally touched each others
again after a long few years it was the most breath taking passionate
feeling they had experienced in a while, finally their lips came apart
after about 15mins
“I love you Marian, you have given me everything
I’ve always dreamed of love, passion and a beautiful child.
You are amazing you know that”
“Oh Robin you and Ella are the best things to happen to me
through my whole life I couldn’t imagine a life with out you
too in it”
Robin and Marian were so happy to be back together because they knew
there future was going to be incredible now they were together with
their beautiful Ella.
Moments like this would last for ever always.
Chapter 13- happiness doesn’t last forever
The morning after the incredible night before Robin woke up really
early without waking up Marian and Ella and the rest of the gang, he
wanted to have some private time with Marian just the to of them,
something romantic. Robin had been gone for a while; everyone was awake
now except Ella who was tried from the extremely amazing day yesterday.
“Where is Robin” Marian asked
“I don’t know Marian I thought he was still
sleeping” Will explained
“Much do you know were Robin went this morning”
“No I don’t Marian, he’s probably gone
for a walk he always does”
In the distance Marian and the gang listened very carefully they could
here someone singing really badly
“Who the hell is that” John moaned
“They are terrible” Dajaq replied
“Please make the noise stop” Allan held his ears
Marian couldn’t help but laugh she knew that voice anywhere
“Oh you lot its Robin singing” she laughed
“Its master, OMG, he is so bad” Much could not
believe it was Robin, no wonder Robin wouldn’t sing when the
rest of the gang sang
When Robin reached camp he was so joyfully he could not stop smiling
then noticed the gang looking at him
“What are you looking at?”
“Nothing, nothing at all” the gang replied trying
not to laugh
“Ok then, lads can you look after Ella as I’m
taking Marian somewhere, we won’t be far”
Robin took Marians hand and led her to the surprise he had for her
“Robin were are you taking me”
“All will be reviled soon enough”
“We can’t leave Ella on her own”
“Marian stop worrying she will be fine with Much and the
lads, I want to be with you on my own for a while now please will you
relax”
“I am relaxed” Marian laughed
They finally reached the spot were Robin had the surprise, Marians eyes
filled up with tears she was gob smacked, Robin had made a picnic up
for her, tasty food to eat and it was just the food that Marian liked,
there were rose petals all round the rug that Robin borrowed of
someone, there was also wine red wine Marian’s favourite of
all time and the last part what made it even more special was that the
picnic was on the spot were Robin first kissed her as a young teenager
“Do you like it” Robin asked
Marian turned and jumped into his arms “its perfect Robin
just like you” Robin gave Marian a cheeky smile and Marian
looked deep into his eyes and leaned in for a kiss
“Marian as much as I love your kisses I’m afraid we
have to stop because I’m starving” he said cheekily
“Oh is that so, no more kisses for you then” Marian
said playfully. Marian turned to go and sit down but then Robin pulled
her into him and kissed her passionately
“Robin the food, it will go cold”
“Stuff the food I’ve got something much
tastier” Robin wink as he was in a flirtatious mood
Marian laughed “come on lets eat”
The day was so romantic Robin was so HAPPY to have Marian back in his
arms and Marian was so happy to be with the man that stole her heart so
many years ago
“Marian I must go”
“Go were” Marian looked at him confusingly
“Don’t worry I will be back I just need to go to
the toilet”
Robin got up and gave Marian a wink she just giggled and blew him a
kiss
Whilst Robin was gone Robin Marian just looked into the sunset happily
minding her own business, suddenly someone grabbed her from behind
holding her mouth so she could not cry for help she was dragged away
scared and afraid
Robin came back but couldn’t see Marian anywhere he called
her name a few times butt no answer he thought she must of headed back
to camp so he walked back
“Master what you doing back here”
“Is Marian Here?”
“No isn’t she still with you”
“No I fought she came back”
“Where’s Ella Robin” asked Will
“She should be here with you” Robin replied
“No Robin she went to get you and Marian” Dajaq
said worrying
“She did not come to us” Robin was wondering were
Ella and Marian had disappeared to.
“Master over here quickly”
Robin ran over “what is it Much”
“Look” Robin looked down to three pairs of
footprints he could tell which was Marians and Ella’s
footprints but the third pair was confusing
“Robin look the footprints are heading into
Locksley” Allan noticed
Robin knew straight away who the third pair of footprints belonged to
“Robin who’s footprints do they belong
to” John asked
“it belongs to our old friend Gisbourne” Robin
replied in anger
“GISBOURNE” the gang shouted
“Yes Gisbourne” Robin now had his fists crunched
together how dare Gisbourne take his family he had no right
“Lads get your weapons ready we are going to
LOCKSLEY”
Chapter 14- A heartbreaking Death but Who?
Marian woke to realise she had been tied to chair, she looked around
her but everything was pitch black she was frightened and scared she
cried “HELP ROBIN,HELP, she cried she was all alone. Suddenly
the door opened, Marian held her breath trying to be brave a dark evil
voice spoke in the distance
“Marian so nice to have the pleasure of your company
again” the voice spoke. That voice made her skin cruel; it
was a voice that she planed not hearing again, a voice that separated
her Robin for the last couple of years
“Sir Guy”
“Nice to know you could still remember me after all you ran
away”
“Yes I did for the protection of my child”
“Ah yes your child, you are a mother now aren’t you
I almost forgot when I saw your beautiful face”
“Grow up”
“Tell me Marian how has Hood taking to becoming a
father”
“Robin has taking it well much better than you after all you
left your son to die and if I remember it correctly Robin took care of
him until we found his mother. Do you remember baby Seth, well
he’s not a baby anymore but you wouldn’t care would
you, you left him to die”
“Shut up”
“Why does it hurt you Guy, nothing seems to hurt
you”
“You hurt me you did” with that Gisbourne raised
his arm and hit Marian across the face her lip was bust
“I’m sorry I did not mean that you drove me to
it”
“Actions speak louder than words” Marian said
coldly
Before Gisbourne could speak one of his guards came in “my
lord what shall I do with the child”
“Child Gisbourne what child”
“Ah Marian I think there is someone who would like to say
hello”
The guard dragged little Ella in by her hair Marian was in shock
“Ella”
“Mummy help me”
Marian couldn’t believe how cruel Gisbourne could be by
hurting her daughter
“Give her to me”
“Why Marian while I’ve got the chance to make you
get hurt like you hurt me”
“Guy Ella has nothing to do with this it’s between
me and you”
Gisbourne looked down at Ella who was terrified of the man in the dark
suit
“It has everything to do with her she is apart of hood and I
also want to make him suffer”
“Mummy please make him let me go he’s hurting me
MUMMY!!!!!!!!!!”
Marians heart was broken in two she so badly want to help Ella but
there was nothing she could as she was tied up she began to beg
“Please Guy let my little Ella go please she’s only
a girl please I will do anything please just let her go”
Gisbourne smiled he was finally getting what her wanted from her
“Do you mean anything Marian?”
“Anything she replied
“in that case if I promise to let your daughter go will you
promise to become Lady Gisbourne and I mean this time no backing out or
less” Gisbourne brought out his dagger and placed it on Ella
throat, the exact same dagger that he stabbed Marian with which still
little bits of her blood on it
“Yes Guy I will”
“Mummy you can’t what about Daddy he loves
you”
“Shut up you little brat” Gisbourne hit Ella who
collapsed onto the floor
“ELLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Marian
screamed
“How dare you hit my daughter Gisbourne” standing
behind him with an arrow to his head was Robin who was really angry now
to what he had just witnessed in Robin’s mind no man should
hit a child or a women but it made it even worse to the fact that
Gisbourne had hit his daughter and his soon to be wife
“Now do as I say or I will kill you right on the spot. First
get Marian untied please” Guy nodded to one of his guards who
were surrounded by the rest of the gang. Marian got untied and ran
straight over to Ella who was lying on the floor who was not moving
“Robin Ella’s not breathing, she’s not
waking up
John ran over to pick up Ella to take her back to camp so Dajaq could
try and wake her everyone else followed except Robin he stayed behind
for a moment
“now Gisbourne I’m only going to tell you once and
once only if you ever go near my family again or prick a hair of them
by the name of King Richard so help me I will kill you
understand” Gisbourne did not answer him so Robin pressed the
arrow harder on Gisbourne and repeated “do you
understand”
“I understand” Gisbourne said finally
“good now I must go home to see if my daughters
alright” with that Robin left Locksley without a sound.
Robin arrived back at camp and out of breath as he ran straight here
without stopping but no one was around.
“Much, John, Will, Allan, Dajaq
Much came out to greet Robin but it looks as though he had been crying
he also had blood over his shirt
“Much what has happened”
“Master I’m so sorry”
Robin couldn’t understand why Much was being sorry
“Much why are you saying sorry and what’s that
blood doing all over your shirt”
Much took a deep breath before he spoke” its little
Ella’s blood Master Gisbourne had stabbed her on her side we
didn’t notice until we got back here, Dajaq did the best she
could we all did but there was nothing we could do”
Robin knew what Much was going to say he couldn’t bare to
hear it
“I’m sorry Master but Ella’s
gone”
Robin dropped to the ground and screamed “no why did you have
to take her away from me. WHY she had her life in front of her I should
be the one who dies before my child it should of been me not Ella. It
should have been me”
Much bent down and hugged Robin, Robin hugged him back
“Why did this have to happen Much Why?”
“I don’t know Master I don’t
know”
Much held Robin as tightly as he could
Whilst Robin wept and wept for his daughter Ella
"Everyone’s hearts was broken, none spoke they
couldn’t believe Ella was gone
Robin decide to go and see Ella’s body"
Chapter 15 - Everything Goes Wrong For Us
Everyone’s hearts was broken, none spoke they
couldn’t believe Ella was gone. Dajaq felt bad as there was
nothing she could do to bring her back, she felt as though she let
Robin and Marian down for not saving Ella, Will went over to comfort
her he thought Dajaq wouldn’t allow him to go near her but
she did and cried into his arms. John and Allan were making the fire to
keep the rest of them warm make everything comfortable, while Much was
making the food even though no one felt like eating but he knew that
they all had to keep their strength up especially Robin and Marian who
had to keep strong.
After his weeping over his loss Robin decide to go and see
Ella’s body and to see Marian. As Robin reached to were Ella
was laid he broke down again, Ella was lying wrapt in a white warm
cloth she looked so beautiful it was hard as he imagined her just
waking in up and jumping into his arms shouting “Surprise I
got you” but now he will never hear her sweet voice again. He
bent down and touched Ella’s cheek she was so cold Robin kept
wishing that he could turn back the time, if only he could of got there
before Ella or Marian was hurt by Gisbourne, why didn’t he
killed Gisbourne when he had the chance, all of this was going through
his head then a voice spoke
“Robin” a tearfully voice spoke
Robin turned round to see a tearful Marian who looked as though she had
not been sleeping for days Marian broke into tears Robin got up and
held her in his arms
“Marian Ssssshhhhh it’s alright I’m
here” Robin said trying so hard to be strong and not brake
down in front of her
“Robin why does this have to happen to us I don’t
understand everything goes wrong”
“Marian not everything goes wrong for us” trying to
reassure her
Marian looked at him and pulled away walking away from him
“Robin Grow up and look around you everything goes wrong for
us you know that, just when we think hey everything is going great for
us it goes horribly wrong we couldn’t even protect our own
daughter that makes us really bad parents”
“Marian don’t say such things you are brilliant
Ella knew that she knew how much you loved and how much you would do
anything for her”
“But I didn’t do enough did I”
“Marian you did everything you could possibly
could” Robin took her in his arms
“Robin, Marian your foods out” Will said
“Thanks Will, will be there in a moment”
“Robin I can’t eat”
“Marian you have got to eat to keep your strength up think
what Ella would say, she would have told her mummy to eat”
Marian smiled “your right she would of before I go I must
give her a kiss as it will be last time I kiss her”
“Yeah she’s getting buried tomorrow”
Marian and Robin both went towards Ella’s body and kissed her
head
“Goodnight Ella sleep tight mummy will always be with you no
matter where you are” Marian spoke with tears coming down her
face
“My Beautiful Ella sleep tight me and mummy will be with you
one day and I promise I will take revenge on the man who did this to
you, I love you Ella with all my heart we both do” with that
Robin bent and gave Ella a kiss.
Robin took Marians hand and held it tight not letting her go as
tomorrow was going to be the hardest day of there lives burring their
child
But as they walked away from little Ella they didn’t notice
Ella’s arm moving
Ella was alive but just slightly.
Would Robin and Marian notice?
Chapter 16- Memories about her
Everyone sat around the fire eating there food and talking about their
memories about Ella and what made them smile.
“I will remember her little smile that made us smile each
morning” said Will
“I will always remember how clever she was at
science” Dajaq replied
“I will always remember how she asked me to give her
piggybacks” laughed John
“I will always remember when she told Much he had a huge
nose” Allan laughed, so did everyone else
“You had to mention that didn’t you. Anyway I will
always remember her beautiful singing voice, not from Robin of
course” Much laughed
“I will always remember the first time she called me Daddy it
was the most amazing thing in my life except Marian” Robin
said softly. Everyone smiled at him
“I will always remember something about Ella that none of
you’d would know. I will always remember how she grown inside
my belly for 9 months, when she first walked, when she first spoke her
first word, when her first tooth came, when she first had her birthday
and I will always remember how close me and her were” Marian
said who had broken her silence. Everyone didn’t say anything
they all knew she would be hurting the most out of all of them, even
Robin knew because she was the one who brought little Ella into the
world she knew her better than anyone, better than him also. Robin held
Marians hand
“If you excuse me I would like to see her one last
time” Marian got up and headed into the distance watched by
Robin and the gang.
“Aren’t you going with her Master?”
“Yeah she really needs you”
“I know you mean well but I think a Marian needs time with
Ella on her own for one last time, after all she brought her into the
world. I will go in a while”
Robin watched Marian until he could no longer see her.
Marian reached Ella and sat next to her, she lifted Ella into her arms
just like she did ever night before she would go to sleep but this time
Ella wouldn’t be saying night to her or even breath
“oh Ella what am I going to do without you around, who will I
share all my secrets with, who’s going to sing every morning
with me, who will come and pick flowers from the fields to place in
each others hair” Marian broke into tears she placed her head
down Ella’s “I’m so sorry Ella please
forgive me please I love you so much my angel more than you can ever
know. Whilst Marian wept she didn’t notice Ella’s
arm move a flinch Ella who could hear slightly tried to reach her
mothers cheek to let her know she was still here with her and Daddy but
she was so weak but she kept trying and trying finally her little hand
reached Marians cheek. Marian was just stunned how was Ella’s
hand touching her cheek, she must have been dreaming surely it
wasn’t possible for her dead daughter to come back was it?
Marian rose her head and looked down her tears of pain turned to tears
of joy as she saw little Ella smiling at her “I’m
not going anywhere mummy I’m right here with you”
Marian cried of joy
“Ella your alive oh Ella my darling you were sent back to me
and daddy I’m never going to let you get hurt again I
promise” she bent down and kissed Ella gently
They had been given a second chance.
Chapter 17- Sweet 16
Ella woke up bright and early she couldn’t believe she
finally turned 16 she was a women now. Ella liked exploring new places
she was allowed anywhere except one place Locksley. Every since the
time were she all most died Marian and Robin told her to never go to
Locksley every again. She could understand why they forbid her to go
there incase Gisbourne caught her or she was to be harmed again, but
she could never forget the place because out of all the villages she
had been to none were as beautiful as Locksley, Locksley was the most
beautiful place in the world to her she missed it so much. Ella decided
to go to Locksley on her own with out Marian or Robin knowing so the
following morning she was going to go to Locksley.
The next morning Ella was ready to set of to Locksley just as she was
about to leave a voice called her name
“Ella were are you going” Ella was relieved it was
Much as she could get around him easily
“Oh Much you scared me. I’m erm… I
erm” she didn’t know what to say
“Come on were?”
“I’m going for a walk to clear my head if
that’s ok”
“Were you going to walk to?”
“Just around the forest”
“Ok don’t be long as your mother and father will
worry”
“I won’t please can I go now”
Ella finally got to leave, she loved Much to bits he was like an uncle
to her but he also was a bit stupid in her eyes which always made her
laugh. Ella finally got to Locksley. It was still the same beautiful
place she had ever seen but she knew if her mother or father found out
she had disobeyed them she would get into serious trouble, but it was a
risk she was prepared to take.
As she walked through Locksley everything was calm and peaceful, people
were happy around the place, more to which that Gisbourne had gone away
for a few days. She thought to herself. How could mother and father
forbid her from coming here it was lovely, people were friendly.
Ella noticed a child by the end of the lake who was looking up at an
apple tree she could see that the child was hungry; Ella went up to the
tree picked an apple and gave it to the child.
“Here you go you must be hungry”
“Thank you” the little child off really happy, Ella
loved seeing everyone happy she was about to turn away until a nasty
voice spoke
“Hey you, how dare you take one of sir Gisbournes apples of
his tree”
Ella turned around to one of Gisbournes guards “that child
was hungry”
“Even so now you must pay the price for stealing”
“STEALING how was I stealing”
“Right that’s it you are coming with me”
the guard took his hands to grab Ella
“Get your hands of me you filthy man”
The guard raised his hand but was stopped when a young man
“What do you think you are doing to this woman” the
young man said
The young man was tall and had the most gorgeous brown eyes with light
brown hair
“This woman took one of sir Gisbournes apples of his
tree”
“Well this woman might just have moved here just like I have
I don’t all the rules yet why you don’t let her go
this time” he looked up at Ella and smiled.
Who was this man, were did he come from, what was he doing here, what
was his name?
This is what Ella was going to find out if the guard lets her go.
Chapter 18- A Start of A new Romance
“Well are you going to let erm ……..
Sorry what’s your name” the young man looked up at
Ella waiting for an answer
Ella knew if she said her name the guards will arrest her for sure as
they will know that she is Robin’s and Marian’s
daughter she had to say a different name
“My name is Samantha” she replied
“Thank you, now will you let her go this time, she knows she
has done wrong”
The young man looked up at Ella and smiled, she gave him a look saying
don’t smile at me you fool I don’t know you type of
look
“I will let her go this time, but if she does anything again
she’s taking away”
“So I can go then” Ella said stubbornly she was a
lot like Marian when she was liked that.
Ella walked away from the young man and the guard. The young man
couldn’t believe how rude she was not saying thank-you for
his help he decided to confront her
“I didn’t hear you say thank you for my
help” he shouted.
“I never asked you to help me did I” Ella replied
stubbornly
The young man laughed “I can’t believe this I saved
your life and this is how you repay me”
“I would have got away with out you helping”
“Really how?”
“I had a plan……. Half a plan”
Ella couldn’t believe she was sounding like her father
The young man went to turn away until Ella stopped him
“Wait,”
He turned around to her “what is it?”
“Thank you for your help”
“It is not a problem” he smiled sweetly at her,
Ella smiled back she fancied him, and the feeling was mutual as he
fancied her to.
“I must go now” Ella realised it was getting late
“Ok then but can I see you tomorrow” the young man
asked
“You want to see me again why?” Ella
couldn’t believe he wanted to see her again
“Because I only know you around please say yes you can give
me a tour around the place” he couldn’t take his
eyes of Ella she was so beautiful the most beautiful girl he had ever
seen
“Yeah ok tomorrow at 8am don’t be late”
Ella said sweetly
“Cant wait” he replied.
As Ella was heading back to camp she couldn’t take her mind
of the man she met in Locksley, he was gorgeous she couldn’t
believe how he wanted to see her again, but she remembered she never
asked what was his name she felt awful, but she also gave him a false
name, he thought she was called Samantha she would have to tell him her
really name tomorrow. The thought of it was exciting she was so looking
forward to it. When she got back to camp everyone was wondering why she
was so happy
“Have you had a good day Ella” Marian asked
“Yes it was wonderful mother”
“What have you been up to today” Robin asked
curiously
“Nothing much I made a new friend today”
“Were” Robin and Marian asked together?
“At Clunt she is new around here and has asked me to show her
around tomorrow” Ella didn’t want Marian and Robin
to find out about the young man she met just yet.
Back at Locksley the young man couldn’t take his mind of Ella
but he knew her as Samantha, he couldn’t wait to see her
again the next morning. But there was something he had to do first. He
headed towards Locksley Manor and knocked on the door. A servant girl
answered
“can I help you” she asked
“yes please I’m looking for sir Guy of
Gisbourne”
“He is not here at the moment he’s gone away for a
few days”
“Oh right I see”
“May I ask who you are” the servant asked
“I am his son, my name is Seth”
The servant just stood in front of him shocked
“You must come in” she replied
Chapter 19 – It Doesn’t Seem Really
Seth woke up from his sleep to the sight of a big room surrounding him,
he was lying in a huge comfy bed with at the side of him was hot food,
it smelt so good, he had never slept in a comfy bed before and never
woke up to a breakfast in bed before as it was he who was making the
breakfast with his mother Annie for the Mistress. He wondered why
Gisbourne abandoned him. What did he do, why didn’t he love
his mother as much as he loved him, why he made his mother cry each
night. Seth had all theses questions to ask his father. But first thing
first he must go and see Ella (Samantha as he knew her by)
“What am I going to wear” he wondered.
Back at camp Ella was singing to herself happily, so looking forward to
seeing the handsome stranger again, she started to get butterflies in
her stomach “what are we going to do, were am I going to take
him, what if he doesn’t like me” Ella said to
herself. She was frightened that he might reject her, scared incase she
wasn’t good enough and worried if he will be scared away if
he found out who her father was.
“Ella when are you going to see this new friend of
yours” Ella turned to see Robin
“Shortly father. Were is mother” she asked
“She’s gone to Kinghton Hall to see a friend of
hers” Robin knew Ella was hiding something from him and
Marian as he knew her facial expressions really well, what was she
hiding from him.
“Father I must go I said I would meet my friend at
8am”
“Ok be back here for your tea and don’t be
late”
Ella went over to Robin and kissed him on the cheek and off she went.
Robin watched her as she left the camp “Will come here a
second”
“What is it Robin”
“I need you to follow Ella for me”
“Why Robin”
“She is hiding something from me, and I want to know what it
is I fear for her safety”
“Robin she is 16 she knows what dangers to keep away
from” Will reassured him
“I know but she is still my little girl I can’t
follow her as I need to go to Nottingham the Sheriff has planed a
hanging for one of my people in Locksley, so me and the rest of the
gang are gone you follow Ella for me”
Will nodded and started to follow Ella. He followed her closely but
made sure that Ella didn’t see him, he realised she
wasn’t going to Clunt she was heading in the direction to
Locksley. Why she heading there she knows she is not allowed. Will
watched Ella head into Locksley he stayed at the edge of the forest so
no one could see him. He turned to see his old home, which a new family
had moved in. he missed his father and Luke so much, he wondered how
they were, what they had been doing and if they still thought of him
often like he did. It didn’t seem really.
Will turned to see if he could see Ella anywhere he saw her over near
the lake sitting down and waiting. What was she waiting for?
Chapter 20- A Whole New Trouble
Ella waited by the lake catching every breath, she was nervous about
seeing the young man again, she had never felt like this before, what
was wrong with her, Ella didn’t realise she was falling in
love.
Will watched Ella carefully wondering why she was sat there
“what am I going to tell Robin he will be so angry if he knew
Ella was in Locksley, infact so will Marian” Will had no idea
what to do, he wanted to stay loyal to Robin, after all he did save his
life but he also didn’t want Ella to get into trouble as he
knew what it was like being 16, but he didn’t have any
worries back then and Ella can get into grave danger because she is
Robins Daughter and if Gisbourne or the Sheriff caught her she will be
to hang. Will had no idea what to do he was so confused.
Ella started to think she got stood up by the young man, she thought to
herself it was a waste of time waiting “I told him to be here
for 8am I told him he has stood me up” Ella yelled
“Who has stood you up” Ella turned round to see
Seth facing her with a sweet smile. Ella and Seth’s eyes meet
such passion came through there bodies happy to see each other again,
unaware who was watching
“I thought you had stood me up” Ella laughed
“I could never do that to someone who is beautiful like
you” Seth took Ella’s hand and kissed it softly,
Ella smiled with embarrassment the only person who ever did that to her
was Robin
“Have you eaten” Seth asked
“No why?”
“Well we must get breakfast”
Ella started to laugh
Will couldn’t believe his eyes Ella had fallen in love with a
young man, Ella had always been stubborn what made this man make her
fall in love with him. Will had never seen the man before in Locksley,
“I must go and tell Robin someone has moved into
Locksley” Will was about to turn away when a loud scream came
out of Locksley he quickly turned around to see Ella was caught by
Gisbourne. Gisbourne had returned early and saw her waiting at the
lake.
“Well well well, what do we have here; it’s been to
long not seeing you Ella”
“Her name is Samantha now let her go” screamed Seth
“Seth Gisbourne is right my name is Ella and I am the
daughter of Robin Hood”
“You lied to me”
“I didn’t lie to you I was going to tell you the
truth”
“Your name is Seth” Gisbourne asked strangely
“Yes why” Seth said coldly
“I know that name somewhere”
“I am your son” Seth shouted.
Ella and Gisbourne looked at him shockenly
“You’re his son?” Ella looked in disgust
“My son” Gisbourne looked at him amazed
“Yes I am Annie’s son you’re my
father”
“let him go”Gisbourne came off his horse and went
towards Seth and hugged him” my son come with me”
Gisbourne took Seth back to Locksley Manor, Ella watched she never felt
so ashamed in her life how could she have fallen with her
father’s enemy’s son, and what made it worse was
that he lied to her. Seth looked back at Ella as he turned to see her
Ella turned away and started to cry she had fell in love with him and
she knew they could never be.
“Take her to Nottingham I will be there soon first I must get
to know my son”
Seth watched Ella been taking away his heart broke watching someone he
is in love with been taking away but there was nothing he could do.
Will couldn’t believe it Ella had been taken away and he
could not do anything as the gang and Robin wasn’t there to
help how on earth was he going to tell Marian and Robin that Ella had
been taken to Nottingham and how was he going to explain that Ella has
fallen in love with Gisbourne son
A whole new trouble was about to begin
Chapter 21- The night rescue
Will ran and ran as fast as he could back to the camp he was running
out of breath but he wouldn’t give up he had to tell Robin
what has happened to Ella as he knew Robin will think of a plan to save
her, He reached camp but the gang had not returned and it was getting
dark he was starting to worry, What if Robin and the gang were caught,
what if they didn’t save the person from Locksley, what would
happen to Ella. A little sound was made, Will turned quickly to see the
gang coming towards him he quickly smiled and ran towards them, he
could see Allan, Much, John, Dajaq but no Robin
“Where is Robin?”
“He didn’t make it” replied Allan
“He was caught by the Sheriff” John added
“He was taken to the dungeons” Much said tearfully
“there was nothing we could do”
Will couldn’t believe this could be happening first Ella now
Robin what were they going to do now. Will turned to see the rest of
the gang laughing
“Why are you laughing this isn’t funny”
“Oh Will your face” the gang laughed
“What is it?”
“Robin is safe he is at Knighton Hall with Marian”
“NOW you tell me” Will started to run to Knighton
hall
He ran and ran, Will could hardly see as it was so dark but he finally
reached Knighton Hall
"Robin!!!!!!!!!!!!" Will shouted out loud
"Will what is it"
"Its Ella she’s in trouble"
"what’s happened"
“Ella has been arrested and has been taken to
Nottingham”
Robin’s face turned into anger
“Get the rest of the gang and meet me in 5 mins we have to
rescue her tonight”
“What about Marian”
“Leave her to me”
Chapter 22 – An Evil mind is reviled
Ella was thrown in the dungeons it was so cold and dark in there she
was frightened, she was worried that her father and mother never knew
she was in trouble, she was wishing and praying for them to come. She
sat in her cell thinking about that day, how everything was so perfect
then it was destroyed. She felt stupid falling for that monster of a
man, how she fell for Gisbourne’s son
“I’m a fool” she told herself
“Yes you are just like Robin and Marian”
Ella looked up to see Gisbourne standing there smiling
“What did you think” Gisbourne laughed
“What do you mean” Ella asked confusingly
“Don’t make me laugh you thought if you got close
to my son then you could turn him against me, make him part of your
fathers gang”
“Believe me if I knew he belonged to you I would of never of
went near him” Ella hissed.
Deep down her heart was braking as she was saying them words as she
didn’t mean it at all not one little bit.
“It doesn’t look as if you father is coming to save
you does it”
“He will”
“If he was he would be here by now” with that
Gisbourne left. Was he right was Robin not coming to save her? Had she
disappointed her father in some way
“Please come dad please” Ella placed herself in a
little coroner looking throw the gap of the window and looked up into
the stars while weeping quietly.
Back at Locksley Seth didn't feel comfortable around Gisbourne his own
father. His mind was else were he kept thinking of Ella
“So what do you think of my home”
“It’s nice Sir Gisbourne” Seth replied
“Please call me father”
“Ok then father, can I ask why do you hate Robin Hood so
much?”
“Because he stole everything I ever loved?”
“What was that?”
“Marian the only women I ever loved”
“Is that Samantha’s I mean Ella’s
mother?”
“Yes it is”
“So why have you arrested her”
“To take revenge on Robin and Marian that’s
why”
“But Ella has done anything wrong”
“She has my son she was born an outlaw and all outlaws
deservers what they get”
“What will happen to her?”
“She will be put to death”
“NO” Seth couldn’t bear to hear what
Gisbourne was say, how could someone be so evil
How could his father be so nasty and mean to a young woman a young
women who he had fallen for.
“I am just going for a walk father”
“Ok be back soon I want you to meet the Sheriff”
As Seth walked out of Locksley he called one of Gisbournes servants
“Can I help you sir”
“Yes please I was wondering if you could point me in the
direction to were I can find Robin Hood.
Chapter 23-the final walk for Ella
Ella lost all hope of being rescued, “this is it
I’m going to die tomorrow and no one will be there”
Ella’s heart beated faster and faster as tonight was going to
be the last night she will face, face on her own, face before her death
the following morning.
As dawn rose Ella woke up to the noise of one of the Sheriffs guards
coming in to get her
“Come on you the sheriff will like to see you before your
death”
“Very well” Ella said bravely
Ella walked behind the guard it was the longest walk she had ever done.
The walked seemed to take for ever and ever. Then the guard finally
stopped
“In you go”
Ella opened the door
“Well young lady I am looking forward to your
hanging”
“I bet you are”
“I can’t wait too see the look on your father and
mothers face when they see you die”
“no matter what you do to me my father will always be around
still helping everyone, after all he is Robin Hood the most amazing man
in the world an there’s nothing you can do”
“I hope you have a pleasant death” the sheriff
laughed
“And I hope you go to HELL” REPLIED Ella
“Guard take this piece of dirt to her death”
Ella was taken by the guard to be put to death. As they reached the out
doors, the sun was shining bright it was a warm calm day, Ella turned
around to see people looking at her some were even crying. Ella finally
reached the stand and a rope was placed around her neck, she did not
have a hood over the face as the Sheriff wanted to make an example of
her.
The drums started beating bum, bum, bum bum Ella closed her eyes and
flashed back to all the amazing memories she had
The first time she found out her father was Robin Hood she was so proud
of her father in her mind he was the father she always wanted, her
mother how close she and her were they were more than mother and
daughter they were best friends.
The gang was like uncles to her every single one of them even though
Dajaq was a woman
She remembered their laughs and cry’s they had, final she had
one last thought of Seth picturing his face one last, his smile, his
charm, his kindness, also she thought of the life which he and her
could have had, but now it was to late. But Ella wished she could of
done and now won’t be able to tell her family and Seth was
that she loved them
Chapter 24- Mental Robin?
The drums beated slowly but painfully Ella waited to be dropped as she
was about to fall one of the peasants shouted
“LOOK its Robin Hood”
Ella opened her eyes to see her father and the rest of the gang
including her mother riding towards her on horses “they have
come” Ella smiled
“I told you once and I told you twice Sheriff to never put a
finger or try and hurt anyone who I care about” Robin shouted
he was in so much anger thankfully he reached Ella on time.
“Marian untie Ella and wait by the forest, Will, John, Much,
Allan and Dajaq come with me, we have to teach the Sheriff not to mess
around with us
“This I will like” replied John
“I would rather go home and eat beef” Much mumbled
“Come on Much they tried to kill my daughter”
“Mother I don’t want father to do this tell him to
stop” Ella was scared of her father’s safety
“Robin stop this Ella doesn’t want any blood to be
shared” Marian shouted
Robin didn’t listen his mind was else were in his mind the
Sheriff and anyone else who hurt Ella had to be punished. The gang did
not say anything they just carried on as they were told as they knew
what Robins temper was like
“Father Stop please please” Ella screamed, she had
never seen her father like this before
Robin had went mental he had the Sheriff on the floor
“You are going to die”
“Robin NO” Marian screamed
The gang turned in horror. Was Robin about to KILL
Chapter 25- Father you’re not like him.
The gang was all still and quite just watching Robin’s eyes
moving up and down the sheriff, was he really going to kill him and if
he did he would have broken a rule that he told the gang not to do, was
to kill anyone. Marian couldn’t believe what she was seeing,
she knew he was like this when he thought Gisbourne had killed her but
he stopped before he tried to kill Gisbourne as he knew that she
wouldn’t want him to do so as she knew he was better than
them, Marian never thought she would see Robin like this again
especially in front of Ella. Ella still was worried and scared this
wasn’t her father standing there going to kill someone, her
father was the man who saved and protected people from harm, from the
Sheriff and Gisbourne, her father was a good and decent man that
everyone loved he wasn’t a killer not at all
“Mother I need to go and talk to him” Ella said
“Ella darling just leave him”
“Mother he’s my father and a good man he does not
kill”
Ella walked away from Marian and the rest of the gang slowly heading
towards Robin who still had the Sheriff on the ground with a sword by
his throat
“Father” Ella said touching his shoulder
“Go away Ella this is no sight for a young girl”
“I am not going anywhere father not until you put that sword
down and walk away with me”
“I have to kill him; he was going to kill you my
daughter”
“That’s because he is a killer, you are not, and
you are a much better person than he is much better indeed”
“He has to be punished for what he’s
done”
“Father Look at me” Robin turned to face his sweet
daughters face staring back at him
“He has not done anything has he, I am still here, I am still
breathing and I am right beside you, I am not going anywhere I promise.
You and mother a stuck with me for a long time” she smiled at
Robin “now please put down the sword, put it down for me.
Father you are no killer and you know that”
Robin knew Ella was right, he should not kill but he still
didn’t know what to do
“Father think of the people, what would they think if they
heard their hero, their saver had killed the Sheriff”
Ella was right he could not kill the Sheriff, it wasn’t his
way, he never taught people to kill anyone, and he wasn’t
going to be like the Sheriff and Gisbourne killing people. Robin took
the sword away from the sheriff’s throat and threw it to Much
to hold. Marian and the gang were happy that he dropped it down
Ella smiled happily; her father was back again she gave Robin a hug
“I love you daddy”
“I love you to Ella, you are growing to become an brave and
fantastic young woman I am so proud to have you as my
daughter” Robin kissed Ella’s head and held her
hand walking back towards Marian and the gang
“Robin don’t ever scar us again like
that” Marian said kissing him on the lips passionately
“Stop it please you to are going to make me sick”
Ella said jokingly
“Its great to have you back Master”
All the gang cheered with glee
“Come on you lot lets go home” Robin replied
Ella, Robin and Marian walked hand in hand heading out of Nottingham
castle followed by the gang.
“now we just have to decide what’s for
dinner”
“MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” everyone laughed
Chapter 26- Forget Him
Robin, Marian, Ella and the gang reached camp after a long walk back
from Nottingham castle; it was starting to get dark.
“Finally we are home” cried Much who was full of
happiness
“I am glad we are back home, what a day we had”
John said with glee
“I know we thought we lost Robin back there a minute or
to” replied Allan
“Yeah we was going mental I thought”Dajaq spoke
back
“I am here you know no need to keep going on about
it” Robin shouted
“Sorry Robin, its just you really had us worried back
there” Much told him
“well you don’t need to worry any longer I will
never act like that again, it was out of order and it was thanks to my
brave and beautiful daughter Ella”
“Robin were is Ella” Marian said worrying
“She can’t off gone far”
“That’s what you said the last time and look what
happened she was nearly killed”
“She has a point Robin” Allan said
“Ok we shall split and go and look for her”
Marian and Robin went one way, Allan and John went the other direction
whilst Much and Dajaq were making dinner. Will knew were Ella would be
but he didn’t want to get her in even more trouble with Robin
so he decided to go and get her on his own
“Where are you going Will” Dajaq questioned
“Just to get more wood for the fire.”
Ella was sat at the top of the fields looking down into Locksley hope
she could get a glimpse of Seth just once, she need to see his face
again
Ella was looking up at the stars count each star, each number meant
something to her it was her own secret language, she did not notice
Will was walking up behind her
“You shouldn’t be here Ella he whispered
“Will you scared me, how did you know I was at
Locksley”
“Because I followed you. You should not be here your father
has told you”
“Oh Will please don’t tell my father I
don’t want him to be angry I only came here to see”
Ella stopped before she told Will about Seth she didn’t want
anyone to know she had fallen for Gisbourne’s son”
“You came here to see that young man haven’t you
Gisbournes boy”
“No no, just like coming here just to think. Anyway how do
you know about Seth” Ella couldn’t believe Will
knew about him
“Don’t lie you like him don’t
you”
“Oh Will I really like him and I know I can never be with him
because of our parents”
“I know it’s hard but you have to forget about him
he will be lots of trouble”
“how would you understand you have never been in
love”
“I am in love with someone and like you me and her can never
be” Will was still in love with Dajaq but he never had the
guts to tell her how he felt, he was scared of rejection
“Ella you can never see him again understand because if you
do I will tell Robin”
“Fine I won’t”
“Right come on we need to go back to camp everyone is
worried, they are all searching for you”
Will took Ella’s hand and took her away from Locksley tears
fell from her eyes to her soft tender cheek, she only wished she could
speak to Seth one last time, she even wanted one kiss a kiss goodbye as
she had never kissed a guy before but now she never had a choice.
As they were heading away from Locksley they didn’t notice
that Seth had seen them
“Ella she’s safe thank god, she must of came here
to see me, or maybe she wanted me to follow” he thought. Seth
looked around making sure no one could see him, when the cost was clear
Seth followed Ella and Will into the forest he need to speak to Ella
again he just had to, Seth didn’t realise that if he headed
into the forest and the gang caught him he could be in trouble and even
bigger trouble if they found out he was a Gisbourne but it was a risk
he was prepared to take to see his beloved Ella.
to be continued
Chapter 27- A big decision a big choice
Seth tried to follow Ella's footsteps he could hardly see a thing as it
was so dark in the forest “this is complete madness how on
earth am I going to find her in this place it’s a forest and
its dark” suddenly Seth was grabbed from behind he had no
chance of getting away, why was someone doing this to him, most of all
why did they want him? It was another one step away from seeing Ella.
Seth was dragged far into the forest’s he was pulled and
pushed he was in lots of pain, suddenly Seth was blind folded
“why are you doing this to me” he said there was no
reply. After an hour walk or so they finally stopped Seth had the blind
fold of him. Seth turned around to see men looking at him, they were
all sat around a fire, one man was cooking food while the others were
sat chatting. A woman came to them all; she looked at Seth for a few
seconds wondering why he was there, and then one of the men went
towards her whispered something into her ear
“What was he saying to her” Seth wondered
“I only wanted to see Ella and now I’m a hostage
Great”
“What is great” Seth looked up to see a man in
front of him with the rest of the men behind him
“Oh nothing”
“Do you know who I am?”
“No I am sorry but I don’t tended to know the name
of someone who has took me as a hostage”
“I am Robin Hood and these are my men John, Much, Allan,
Dajaq and Will why are you in our forest”
“I was following someone who I wanted to see again but then
your men took me and now I will never find them”
“Master surely we could help him”
“Yes we can Much, who is it you are looking for”
“A young beautiful woman her name is”
Just as Seth was about to say Ella’s name Ella had walked
into camp Seth was just surprised after all this time trying to reach
her here she was standing in front of him still as beautiful still as
strong.
“Ella”
“Seth”
“Ella”
“Father”
“How do you know this man?”
“I met him at Locksley father” Ella
couldn’t lie to her father anymore she was prepared for his
punishment
“You went to Locksley after me and your mother told you, you
could not go”
“I am sorry father but I love Locksley and I’m in
love with this man here even if he is Gisbournes son” Ella
went over to sit beside Seth and held his hand.
Robin and the rest of the gang just looked in amazement, “how
on earth didn’t I recognise this was happening”
Robin thought Robin didn’t know what to think he wanted his
daughter to be happy but he didn’t want her to be any more
danger and if she stayed with Seth she would be and Seth would be to.
Robin had to speak with Marian alone to decide what they should do.
Should they let their daughter be with a man she loved but she might be
in danger. Or should they ban her from seeing him and break her heart
but then she will be safe.
A big decision a big choice to make.
chapter 28- Over protective Marian
Robin walked slowly towards Marian were she was layed sleeping,
thoughts went in and out his head, how could he not of noticed his
daughter had fallen in love with Gisbournes son, he knew Seth was a
nice young man and he knew Seth would never hurt Ella but he was
staying with his father and Robin knew if Seth stayed with Gisbourne
for a long time Gisbourne would have turned Seth into his evil ways.
Robin did not want that to happen and he didn't want Ella to be hurt
even more. Thats why Robin had to talk to Marian as she always knew
what to do for the best she always had done.
"Marian wake up i need to tell you something" Robin said softly into
her ear
Marian turned over to face Robin "what is it Robin"
"its about Ella"
Marian got up like a shock when she heared Ella's name "what about her"
"please don't get angry"
"Robin tell me"
"Ella has fallen in love with a young man"
Marian couldn't help but smile "thats wonderfull news Robin"
"yes it is but you don't know who she has fallen for"
"well we must meet him"
"Marian its Seth Gisbournes boy"
Marian face of happiness changed to a quite mood out of all the young
men her daughter could of fallen for she had to pick the one who was
related to him of all people, it made Marian feel sick
"Marian say something" Robin said looking at her with such suspence
wondering what she would say
"she is not going to be with him"
"but Marian she loves the man maybe we should give him a chance"
"no i forbid her from seeing him Robin no daughter of mine will be with
someone who is related to Gisbourne"
"Ella will hate you if you do this Marian"
"i don't care Robin shes my daughter and i know whats best for her"
chapter 29 - you don't rule my life
Ella sat beside Seth waiting for her father and mother to return she
was worried what they would say. Seth could see how worried Ella was he
took her hand in his and held it softley "everything will be alright
you'll see" Ella looked at Seth and smiled she lay her head on his
shoulder she was more calm now that Seth was next to her.
"what do you think they will say Seth"
"i don't know Ella but what ever happens remember i will love you my
whole life you and no other"
"and i you, you and no other forever" Ella replied back
Seth and Ella never felt so happy than they were when they were
together, but they had no idea that their happiness was going to be cut
short. Seth and Ella leaned in for kiss their first kiss between them
as they leaned to touch each others lips Ella was pulled back
"mum what are you doing"
"stoping you from making a mistake thats what"
" what mistake" Ella said
"the mistake of being with him" Marian replied pointing at Seth
"mum i love him"
"Ella you are not aloud to see him again"
"NO you can't stop me" Ella screamed as tears fled down her cheeks
"Ella you are my daughter and i know what is best for you"
"No you don't mother, you can't control my life anymore i'm not a
little girl anymore"
the whole gang watched in horror they never thought they would see the
day Marian and Ella arguing as they had never fallen out not once even
Robin had no idea what to do.
all of a sudden "SMACK" Marian had slaped Ella across the face
"Marian" Robin shouted
"Ella" Seth paniced he ran towards her "are you ok" as he held her
close
"Marian what are you playing at" Robin asked her
"i don't know it just happpened, i didn't mean it"
"Marian i love you, but i am disapointed on what you have just done to
Ella, this is not like you at all"
Robin was right Marian was never like that, she felt so guilty for what
she had just done, what was worse was that she had just done a terrible
thing that Gisbourne would do
Ella i'm so sorry i didn't mean to hit you" Marian tried to touch
Ella's cheek
"don't touch me"
"Ella please let me look i'm your mother"
"i have no longer got a mother as far as i'm concerned my mother is
dead" as Ella said that she walked away from the camp with Seth
Marian broke down in tears"what have i done" she cried
Robin took Marian in his arms she wept and wept
"Robin i've lost my daughter, i've lost her for good"
chapter 30- A new home
"how could she do this to me, me and her had always been so close"
"Ella i'm sure she didn't mean to hit you she just wants to protect
you"
"protect me from what, you?"
"yeah i surpose"
"but she didn't need to protect me from you, you are not Gisbourne your
nothing like your father, i wish she could just see that"
"me to Ella but we can't force her to like me, but she is still your
mum and i don't want you and her to fall out over me"
"Seth its not your fault, as far as i'm concerned she is no longer
apart of me"
"your mother will always be apart of your life Ella"
Ella and Seth turned to face Robin
"Father how did you know were i would be"
"your my daughter, Seth will you leave me and Ella alone for a few
minutes please"
"i don't want him to go"
"its ok Ella i will be standing right over there, i will not leave"
Seth went and stood over by a tree and let Robin and Ella talk
"Ella come back home your mother feels terrible for what she done"
"father i know she never ment to hurt me, its the fact she won't accept
Seth being with me"
"your mother just don't want Gisbourne to have you killed"
"i understand that but Seth is not like him and if she won't accept me

"Ella don't be stupid you have no were else to go"
"I am going to live in Locksley Manor with Seth"
Robin couldn't understand why Ella was doing this,why was she going to
live there when Gisbourne was there.
"surely your not going to"
"why not father at least i will be with Seth"
"but Gisbourne"
"Gisbourne won't be there he is gone for a few days"
"so you will be back when Gisbourne returns"
"i don't know father, all i know is that i will be with Seth the man i

Chapter 31- fairytale secret
Walking through Locksley manor was all new to Ella she had her first
ever bath, a comfy bed to sleep in; hot warm food in her belly. It was
all paradise to her she loved it there and loved being around Seth
“How are you enjoying your stay here miss?” a
servant asked
“I am having a pleasant time thank you” Ella
replied
“I hope she is enjoying her stay” a cheeky voice
replied
Ella turned around to see Seth who was smiling at her; he had the most
amazing smile Ella ran into his arms and they kissed passionately they
let their lips go from each others and looked into each others eyes
“Come with me Ella, there’s something I need to
show you”
“Seth what is it”
“You’ll see”
Seth took Ella’s hand “close your eyes”
“Why?”
“Just do it”
Seth took Ella upstairs into his bedchamber
“Open your eyes”
Ella opened her eyes to see a little parcel on the end of the bed
“Is that for me?”
“Yes are you going to open it?”
Ella unwrapped the present that Seth got her, when she opened it she
couldn’t believe her eyes
“Oh Seth its beautiful”
“Will you then?” Seth asked
Ella looked down at the present then back at Seth
“I would love to”
Ella ran and gave Seth a kiss
“That’s a yes then”
“That’s a yes”
“So you will become my wife”
“That I will do” Ella said
“I love you Ella”
“I love you to Seth”
“But we will have to keep it a secret as my mother and father
won’t allow me to”
“Neither will my father Ella but that’s not going
to stop me marrying the women I love”
“so when will we be getting married”
“Two weeks"
but even though Seth and Ella were so happy knowing that they would
soon be man and wife, little did they know that they were overheard by
Gisbourne who had a cunning face on him
Chapter 32- Who to choose?
Gisbourne smiled to him with glee “if Robin’s brat
thinks she’s going to marry my son, she can think
again” Gisbourne was about to call his guards to come and
arrest her but then he thought again “this might be my only
chance to take my revenge back on everything Robin and Marian has ever
done to me” he knocked on Seth’s door.
“Come in” Seth replied unaware that it was
Gisbourne
“Well, well, what we have here” Gisbourne said
entering the room.
Ella hid behind Seth she was frightened on what Gisbourne would do to
her as Seth and her wasn’t expecting for him to return
“Father what are you doing here”
“I live here, and why is she here” looking towards
Ella
“She is with me” Seth said standing in front of her
to protect her
“She’s Robins and Marians daughter”
“I know”
“Well she is an outlaw and outlaws have to be
punished”
Ella was really scared she held tightly to Seth, but she really need
her father
“No you can’t harm her, I love her”
“You love her, how do you know that she loves you she might
just be using you to get information to tell Robin”
“No I would never do that I love Seth” Ella spoke
out “I would do anything for Seth”
“You would do anything for my son”
“Yes”
“Seth leave me and Ella for a second”
“I won’t leave Ella”
“Leave NOW” Gisbourne shouted
Seth left his room, Gisbourne stared at Ella for a few seconds before
moving towards her, Ella started to run away from him but then he
grabbed her
“so you would do anything to be with Seth”
Ella nodded shockingly
“Well you must do one thing first”
“What?”
“If you want to be with my son you have to kill your father
and make sure your mother sees you doing it”
“NO I can’t no you can’t make me
please” Ella begged
“Do it, because if you don’t you can watch Seth die
in front of you”
Ella couldn’t believe how heartless Gisbourne was, surely he
wouldn’t have Seth killed if she didn’t kill Robin.
But as she looked into Gisbourne evil eyes she knew he was being
serious
Who would she choose her father and mother or the man she was soon to
be calling Husband?
Chapter 33- One Star makes the right choices
That night Ella sat on the fields of Locksley thinking about what to
do, How could she choose between the two men she loved the most, how
could Gisbourne say if she didn’t kill one of them he would
kill the other. Ella’s heart was broken she didn’t
want any of them to be hurt, she wished there was a way to save them
both but she knew no matter what, one of them will be killed.
Ella looked up at the night sky the stars were blooming bright but she
was looking for one star that her father once told her to look for if
she had to make a decision and that star would help her make the right
choices in life, Ella looked and looked at the star hoping it would
help her what to do, but it didn’t
“This is hopeless a stupid star wouldn’t save my
father or Seth there’s nothing I can do”
“Ella what’s hopeless”
Ella turned round to face a face she thought she would never see again
“Mother, what are you doing here?”
“I wanted to see you; I couldn’t bear not talking
to you”
“Oh ok I see”
“Ella please say you will forgive me for what I
did”
“Of course I will mother”
Marian opened her arms wide Ella ran straight into them and they hugged
one another Ella had long waited to hug her mother again as when she
hugged Marian she knew she was always going to be safe, for a moment
the days events slipped away Ella was just happy that her and her
mother was ok again.
As Ella closed her eyes Gisbournes face appeared repeating the terrible
deed he wanted her to do “KILL Robin or I will KILL
Seth”
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”
Ella fell to the ground in tears it was her worsted nightmare that was
going to be coming true when sunset approaches
“Ella what’s wrong tell me”
“I can’t you will hate me”
“I could never hate you Ella I love you, you are my special
daughter”
“I have to do something that I don’t want to do and
someone will be hurt”
“Ella tell me”
“I have to pick between to people that I love”
“Let me help you”
“There’s nothing you can do”
“There’s always away your father taught you
that”
Ella looked at her mothers and she knew she was right there was always
away to solve a problem and Ella knew exactly what to do
“Mother I need you and the gangs help”
“I will always help”
Robin had been right all along that main star had always helped her
make the right choices in life and it wasn’t the stars in the
sky it was the star that was always there and never left her side, she
finally realised that her mother was her special star.
Chapter 34- A strike in the heart
As morning rose, Ella became more and more nervous on if the plan she
had made up would work and would it be good enough to save her father
and Seth’s lives. She headed down the stairs from the room
she had slept in Locksley only to be confronted by Gisbourne.
“So have you made your choice who you are willing to keep
alive?”
Ella looked at Gisbourne for a few seconds, how much he made her want
to rip his heart out, make him feel hurt and anger the way she was
feeling at this moment, but finally she spoke to him in a cold way
“Yes I have chosen”
“WELL WHO IS IT YOU ARE CHOOSING”
Ella looked out of the window to glimpse at Sherwood Forest and then
turned round and looked up the stairs were she heard Seth wakening
“Tell me now before Seth gets down here” Gisbourne
said quietly
“I have chosen Seth to be safe”
“So you have picked my son over your father Hood”
“Yes I have now may I go and do this dreadful deed you want
me to do”
“Yes yes please do”Gisbourne replied.
Ella left Locksley Manor watched very closely by Gisbourne, she walked
slowly and slowly till she entered Sherwood Forest looking back to make
sure Gisbourne had gone inside. The was a whisper coming from one of
the trees Ella turned and saw Will in the distance
“Will is everything ready”
“Yeah Ella everything is in place”
The plan was that Marian would run to Gisbourne shouting and screaming
that Robin was dead and it was his fault and then Ella would come back
with his heart which in fact was a pig’s heart. All the gang
worked together John and Dajaq killed the pig, Much took the heart out
of the pig and cleaned it
“So does father know what we are doing?”
“He thinks we all gone to get food” Will said
“At least he will be out of danger now I need to make sure
Seth is ok”
what Ella didn’t know was that Gisbourne had already knocked
Seth out cold tied him to a chair with right in front of him was a bow
and arrow attached to a rope and if Seth woke up and moved the rope
would trigger the bow and the arrow would strike into his heart. Not
only would Seth’s heart be broken Ella’s heart
would be torn to pieces.
It was a race against time
Chapter 35- A horrific atmosphere
The room was dark and cold bats eyes looking around watching and
waiting carefully, the chair creaked back and forth with the helpless
body lying still not moving, not even a sound came from his cold purple
lips which were starting to turn blue. The arrow that was waiting to
strike his heart watched him closely with its devil eyes.
Seth’s lifeless body was so cold that it looked as if he was
locked up for years, his face was streaming with blood come down his
face were Gisbourne had knocked him out cold, Seth began to waken up,
his eyes started opening everything was dark and damp he had no idea
were he was and how he got there it was a complete blur he
couldn’t remember anything except wakening up this morning
and that was it. Then he saw the bow and arrow in front of him he was
terrified and over on one side of the wall was the words “GOT
YOU”. Who was it that hated him so he couldn’t
think of anyone one but then one person came into his head Hood. Hood
had hated him from the start ever since he knew he was the son of
Gisbourne, but then Hood hated him for being with Ella
Why was he doing this to him he thought….
Chapter 36- A cruel trick
“I am very impressed Gisbourne, I never knew you had it in
you”
“What that I can break Marians, Robins and Ella’s
hearts” laughed Gisbourne
“Yes very clever of you indeed”
“Yes I’m pleased on my plan to lets ju | | | |
