CHAPTER 25 - Till Death Do Us Part - PART 1

NOTTINGHAM CASTLE

Today was Robin's birthday. Sitting next to her sister as she worked on embroidery, Katherine looked up from her book she was reading, wondering if Marian knew. Surely she must have known. It wasn't something that would go over her head, especially since Marian was always determined to make it the best day for the cheeky young lord.

Wonder flashed in her brown eyes, curious to know how her sister was managing without being by Robin's side. Katherine still found it very odd that Marian had accepted so readily. She thought she would at least put up more of a fight, not wanting to leave the outlaw's side.

"Sister, did you let Robin know of your whereabouts?" Katherine asked, not wanting to leave him worrying over her sister at least.

Marian looked up from her embroidery. "Yes."

"And...? He's okay with it?" She pushed on.

"Well, in his own Robin way, he has no choice but to deal with it." chuckled Marian with amusement.

"And you're okay with being parted from him?" She continued to ask, feeling as if something wasn't right here.

Marian noticed her suspicions and reassured her sister. "The only reason I avoided the castle was because you told me to stay away when you revealed everything to Gisborne, but seeing as he's on our side, I thought it best to finally stay."

"See, he isn't as bad as you think."

"Good luck trying to convince Robin of that."

Katherine chuckled, rolling her eyes. "Tell me about it."

Just then, the two sister's heard a sudden knock at the door, knowing exactly who it could be. "Come in." Marian said and Guy followed into the room, smiling at both of the sisters.

"Hello love." Katherine said, putting down her book and giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Today's the 14th of October, Robin Hood's birthday." He stated, glancing between both of the sisters, waiting to see what their reactions would be. Katherine just shrugged, already knowing it.

"It is." said Marian nonchalantly before realization hit her. "It is?!" Oh god, how could she forget in all the chaos?

"Marian..." Guy gave her a stern look before sitting down upon the bed. He knew she was in love with Robin, Katherine had warned him of that at least, but he still couldn't help feeling bitter over how she reacted. If they were going to make this family relationship between them work, Marian had to let him go.

Katherine gave her sister a knowing look before looking back to her Knight, trying to ease the tension. "Why are you telling us of his birthday? He's a thing of the past, right Marian?" she asked.

"Yes." She said with a forced answer, glancing up at them from her embroidery.

A smile came to Guy's face. "Good, got it." He got up, walking around the room as he informed them. "Well, I came to tell you that I'm going away."

"Away?" Katherine asked, approaching him with worry. "Where are you going?"

He shook his head. "I cannot say...but when I return, things will be different." Guy took her hands into his, grasping them firmly. Marian looked on with worry, but for different reasons from her sisters. "Better. For me and for us."
