CHAPTER 2 - Things One Does for Love

KNIGHTON HALL

Robin had become an outlaw after choosing to free the prisoners and declared going against the Sheriff. Katherine could tell Marian wasn't taking it well, not happy with him choosing this kind of life both out of worry for him and for the fact it would be harder for them to be together.

And what made it worse? Robin had ended up getting captured by the sheriff in no time flat not a day after his escape. " He really is an idiot." Katherine thought to herself.

Even with Much coming here to ask them for help in freeing Robin, the family could do nothing for him. "He should have listened to our father. What did Robin think was going to happen going against the sheriff?" she barked at him.

Much looked down. "I know my ladyship."

"Now he is an outlaw." Marian said, rolling her eyes. "And not a very impressive one."

"That is-" Much yelled, before the sisters gave him a look. "Forgive me. That- That is not fair. He is most impressive."

Katherine had to hold back a chuckle. "He is caught after just one day. Am I supposed to be impressed?"

Much narrowed his eyes at her. "He gave himself up to save tongues."

"Tongues?" Marian questioned.

"In Locksley. The sheriff was cutting out people's tongues until somebody told him where Robin was." Edward, Marian and Katherine exchanged looks with each other. "I hate the sheriff." He stood up, looking them dead in the eye. "And I hate you if you aren't going to help Robin."

Edward rose from his chair, causing Much to stop at the door. "Young man. I will speak in court of course, but your master has doomed himself. Resign yourself."

Much paused before turning to look at them deeply, looking specifically at Marian. "In the Holy Lands, my master had dreams. He spoke your name."

Edward turned to look at her as Katherine looked down, feeling terrible. It seemed Robin cared for her sister as much as she did for him. There must be something she could do for them. Something that wouldn't involve her getting caught and having her family suffer the consequences.

"Good night." Much said, leaving the family to think about what they were doing.

Later on that same night, the sister's were greeted by the unexpected company from Guy of Gisborne of all people. They feared that maybe they had been spotted with Much here.

A servant poured him a glass as Marian asked. "To what do we owe the pleasure of your company, Sir Guy?"

"I wish to speak with your sister." He replied awkwardly.

Marian looked to Katherine who gave her a nod, indicating she would be okay alone. She went to give the two of them some privacy.

When she did, Guy's blue eyes landed on Katherine, an intense and intimidating look in his eye. Katherine had to keep herself from shuddering when they made eye contact, but she was surprised to find him quickly averting his eyes from hers. "I would be pleased if you would come and visit me at Locksley, now that it is mine."

"I would be honored." She smiled, rather surprised he had come all this way to see her and request such a thing. They were only starting to get to know each other.
