The Trials and Tribulations of Love [BBC Robin Hood ] || Guy of Gisborne x OC

Chapter 15: The Game

CHAPTER SUMMARY: Marian tries to adjust to her new life with the outlaws. Katherine must entertain a guest at the castle which causes a further divide with Guy.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I will explore more on Marian's new life with the outlaws soon, but for now, I wanted to focus mostly on Katherine's relationships with everyone, especially with Guy as they are trying to process through things. Both have been hurt by everything that happened and are trying to find their places among each other again.

As I stated before, this story will slowly start to become Canon Divergent as we reach towards the end of Season 2. However, I've added twists in along the way ;D

CHAPTER 15 - The Game

SHERWOOD FOREST

Marian sat around the quiet and empty camp, sighing. Despite her attempts to persuade Robin to let her join in on their latest heist and prove herself, he had apparently wanted to keep her safe inside the camp. This wasn't how she pictured her new life starting out. Her thoughts traveled to her sister and father at the castle, hoping they were safe.

Hearing the voices of the merry men making their way back to camp, she turned to address them, mostly Robin in particular. "Having the time of our life, I see." She pouted, glaring at him.

"Oh, someone's mad." Allan teased, pointing at Robin.

"Marian, we've already been through this before. It's safer for you to be here."

"No, it's boring." She retorted. "I want to be out there fighting alongside you. I can protect myself you know!"

Seeing there was trouble in paradise, the merry men left them alone to talk it out among each other as they counted their riches. Robin sighed. "What if you were to get caught by Gisborne or his guards? Then they would know you are a traitor and your sister and father would be in danger."

"Not if I go as the Nightwatchman!" Marian pointed out to him, grinning. "Everyone already assumes I work with you as is. It's not exactly a lie."

Robin gave her a pointed look, crossing his arms. "No."

She sighed, begging. "Come on. At least let me prove myself!"

The merry men looked over before the outlaw finally gave in. "Fine. Our next target is Locksley village."

NOTTINGHAM CASTLE

It was late at night when Robin and his gang snuck into the castle with Marian by their side dressed as the Nightwatchman. Carrying torches, they made their way around the corner, walking up to a particular room.

Much asked. "How do you even know there is a strong room?"

"Wild guess." Robin said.

"I overheard some villagers talking about it." Marian chuckled, proud of herself.

Walking up to a brown door, they all looked at it confused. "This is just an ordinary door, no handle or lock." Much pointed out.

Just as Robin went to take a step, an arrow came out to shoot him before Will stepped in and pulled him back.

"I do not like this." Djaq said.

As they began to survey the area, Much went and pulled on a rope. "What's this?"

"Much, don't touch that!"

It was too late as they heard something approaching their way. Will quickly found an opening in the wall and turned the mechanism as the door opened to the strong room. Robin looked into the room with wide eyes, spotting a chest. "The Sheriff's war chest, and that is our target."
