The Sheriff's Daughter BBC Robin Hood Fanfic

Chapter 2

When I awoke I quickly dressed myself as a peasant. I wanted to see what Nottingham town looked like. It was early in the morning so I snuck out of the castle unseen. Granted the fact thay the guards were doubled when we arrived.

I wandered through the town of Nottingham. Every time I saw a really poor beggar I would give them a few coins. After a while of walking I decided to go into a very small saloon. Walking in I saw one man with three golden cups sitting at a table. He was playing a game with other men for money. I looked in my pocket and found a few coins left. When the last man had gotten up, I sat down.

"Fancy a bet, Mate?" The man questioned. I noticed it was the same man who had robbed my Aunt and I just the other day. When I sat men gathered.
"I do." I said softly.
When the outlaw looked up and realized it was me, he smiled. I gave him my coins. He moved the cups around but his eyes did not leave me. When he lifted the cup that I had chosen the crowd cheered. The outlaw and I looked down only to see that I picked the cup with money under it. Suddenly of the crowd was gone.
Sir Guy was suddenly sitting next to me and looking at the outlaw. "Gotcha!" Gisborne whispered.
"Sir Guy, what is the matter?"
"Lady Sirena, this man is an outlaw." Gisborne says as he gets up and ties the man's hands together. "He goes to the dungeon." As Sir Guy pulls the man to the castle, I followed with worry.
"Is he one of hoods?" I questioned as I bounced to Gisborne's fast speed. But he did not answer. Gisborne stopped at the dungeon doors and told me to stay, his voice sharp and cold.
But I couldn't. So I followed but hid behind the wall and stood on the stairs as I watched and listened to the outlaw and Gisborne.
I already knew he was one of Hoods.
Gisborne asked about the man's friends and where they were.
"You think I'm one of Robin Hoods men. The one looks like me, what's his name? Um... Allan, right? No my name is Tom. Tom!" The outlaw shouted.
His name is Allan....
"Don't insult me! What's happened? Robin Hood kick you out, hmm? Tricking working men in taverns doesn't sound very Robin Hood to me." Gisborne roughly said to the chained/caged outlaw.
"I told you, I don't know Robin Hood!" The outlaw shouted again.
"Show me some respect and may..." Gisborne's voice trailed off and was too quiet. A guard came down to tell Sir Guy that the Sheriff said it was show time. Sir Guy had told the jailer to torture him, the outlaw.
"No!" I yelled and ran to Guys side.
"I told you to stay up there!" Guy softly shouted at me.
The jailer was dragging Allan away as he was yelling about a deal.
"Too late! I have no need of it anymore." Sir Guy shouted while he walked up the stairs
"Sir Guy that is cruel!!!" I shouted, running after him.
"Good day my Lady." Gisborne bowed and walked away.
I ran back down to the dungeon. I ran into the room where the outlaw was tied up, shirtless and being beaten. I stayed in the back ground till the last punch was over. Then I ran to the poor man. His body was full of sweat and blood as I ran my fingers across it.
"What are you doing here!?" He groaned.
"I want to help..." I whispered.
"Get out of here! The Sheriff would have you hanged if he catches you." The outlaw warned with another.
"He won't hang his own daughter." I whispered in his ear.
"Why do you want to help me?"
"I take it, you don't get helped alot. Besides the way you sreached my body in the forest. The way you look at me. It makes my body flutter..." I softly whispered as I circled him closely. "I can't keep my hands to myself..."
"Sheriff's daughter, hmm? Names Allan. Allan A Dale." He smiled sweetly.
"Sirena."
Allan didn't want me to untie him so I sat and we talked about each other. He learned my past and I learned his. When we heard footsteps aproaching Allan told me to hide.
Suddenly Gisborne walked in and threw a pail of water on Allan. "Been having fun!?" Guy questioned in anger. "Hood was here, did you know? Didn't try and rescue you. So, I was thinking. One chance to live."
"Not helping you kill Robin. I'm not helping you kill anyone." Allan said.
"Yeah, I respect you for that. So, let's look at this another way, shall we?" Gisborne started to get close to Allan. "In exchange as we go along. Little information, little money, a conversation."
Allan looked scared. "What kind of conversation?"
"Oh, a harmless one. If I need extra guys in the building you'll lets me know. If I need to reroute a convoy, that sort of conversation. I am not robbed, Robin is not killed. You'd be doing us both a service." Gisborne pats Allans shoulder and moves around him. " You and I, we're the ones that make are supposed betters look good. And they take us for granted. What happens when they move on? Then it's our turn. You want to help the poor, help yourself first." Gisborne pulled out a small bag and held it in front of Allan. "Make pervision for the future. You'll never be named. You'll never be implicated. This is just between you and me. You will be my eyes and my ears. And when all of this is over. You will have money and position and you can help the poor to your hearts content."
When Sir Guy left I ran to Allan. He looked stressed at what Guy just told him.
"It's okay Allan. We can hide away." I whispered.
"Lady Sirena, it's late." A rough voice said from behind.
"Yes it is, Sir Guy. Would you show me to my room?" I questioned turning around innocently.
"It would be my pleasure." Sir Guy grinned.
"I've made a choice." Allan said faintly.
"Good and what is it?" Gisborne questioned removing his grin.
"I will help you." Allan said as Sir Guy untied him. Allan gotten his money and clothes. Then Gisborne sent him off.
Gisborne had walked me to my room.
"My Lady, before you rest. Tomorrow would you enjoy spending it with me?" Guy questioned softly.
"I'd love to Sir Guy." I whispered into his ear but before he left I kissed his cheek. "Good night Sir Guy."
"Good night my Lady Sirena."
