Woop! I'm on a roll! Here's another chapter! Love me!

Marian woke to her alarm beeping at her. Before she could get her arm across to turn it off it stopped. Marian then felt a pair of lips on her neck. She smiled. So it wasn't just a dream! She thought to her self. She rolled over and looked into the perfect green eyes that she had just been dreaming about. She kissed him fully on the lips then buried her head in the crook of his neck inhaling his scent. She wished that she didn't have to leave the bed because that would bring the reality of what was going to happen today real. She sighed.

"What's wrong?" She heard Robin ask

Lifting her head from its position she looked him in the eye "It's really happening isn't it. Our carefree lifes are over aren't they?" Marian questioned

"Not till the end of the School year remember. I promised my mother I wouldn't do anything till then. But I guess we have some questioning to do. I don't know about you but I think its time we knew the truth" Robin exclaimed

"Yeah we're old enough to deal with it. We aren't kid's any more" Marian stated

"I was thinking why don't we have Richard over for dinner tonight and then we can ask both of them. Also I think the gang should be involved it effects them too. Okay so what if some of them aren't involved we can't keep secrets from them there our mates. They need to know" Robin suggested

"Yeah I think that's a good idea. We all deserve the truth. Anyway none of the girls are going to let the boys out of there sight. Well when we get to school I'll go see Richard and invite him and you tell the gang to come round to mine. Then will get the truth" Marian agreed

"Well we better get up" Robin sighed

"Yeah we should" Marian said but both made no effort to move.

Marian put her head back in the crook of his neck inhaling once again. She was comfy until she heard her phone go off on her bedside table. Sighing she picked it up and put it to her ear.

(Marian normal, Guy italics)

"Hello"

"Hi Marian"

"Guy?"

"Erm yeah I just wanted to know if maybe you'd like to meet up after school you know go for a walk or something. Before you think I've lost it I just want to show you that I've changed that I'm not that person. I'd rather be friends with you than not know you at all. So what do you say? It's okay if you don't want to I understand"

"Erm... Guy after everything I don't know but maybe we can be civil to each other I

mean we can be friendly to each other and see how it goes from there. Anyway I'm busy after school today but thank you for the offer"

"It's okay Marian sure we can do that. But erm can I just say I'm sorry about everything I've done to you and could you pass that onto Robin and the rest of them"

"Sure bye"

"Bye Marian and thank you for giving me a second chance"

Once the line went dead Marian looked at her phone as if it was about to attack her. She didn't know if what Guy had said was true if he meant it but she didn't know what to say. She was always one to give people a second chance but the person that almost killed her and ruined her family. Could she really forgive him after only a year. Well it seemed like he had changed. He didn't push her to go out with him. She shook her head and looked at Robin who looked angry. She was about to say something but he just climbed out of the bed and headed to the bathroom. Marian sighed. Of course Robin wouldn't be happy he despised Guy with every fibre in his body. She would have to try to get him to understand. Before tonight. They needed to trust each other and stand together not be arguing over the past. She climbed out of bed thinking how a perfect morning had been ruined in the space of a phone call. She picked up her uniform and got dressed. She then put her hair up in a high pony tail. Robin return dressed but didn't look at her he picked up his bag and headed downstairs. Marian followed him and watched as he started to make breakfast. The tension in the air was so thick that you could almost see it. Marian groaned.

"Robin will you please speak to me!" Marian stated

"Why don't you just go talk to Gisbourn" Robin replied bitterly

"Why do you always do this when I talk to him Robin. He was only apologising! It's not like I turned and said Guy I forgive for everything I love you. Is it! We've been though so much Robin and yet it always comes down to this argument another boy. If I liked another guy don't you think I would of done something when you were away!" Marian shouted at him

"How do I know you didn't?" Robin questioned

"WHAT! ROBIN LOCKSLEY YOU ARE THE MOST IDIOTIC BOY I HAVE EVER KNOWN I WAITED FOR YOU TO COME BACK AND NOW YOU THINK I'D CHEAT ON YOU! HOW DO I KNOW HAVEN'T CHEATED ON ME! ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS OUT THERE" Marian screamed by the end she was in tears.

"Marian I didn't mean it. I know you wouldn't cheat on me I promise you! I Love you way too much to ever do anything. Its just him he always the problem. You don't understand. He almost took the most precious thing in my life away from me. He almost took you. Marian if I lost you I would have nothing to fight for nothing left to live for!" Robin explained

"You don't think that I don't think the same. The whole time you were away each time I wouldn't get a letter you don't know all the things that were going though my head. I Love you so much it hurts when I can't see you. I promise I won't meet up with him unless I'm with you or one of the gang. Anyway I only said I would be civil to him" Marian exclaimed

"I'm sorry I over reacted I just really can't stand the thought of losing you again" Robin sighed hugging her

"It's okay. I won't ever leave you out of choice you know that" Marian admitted

"Good. Anyway there's only one beautiful girl in this world for me" Robin smirked

Marian laughed and kissed him but was interrupted by a knock at her door. Robin groaned and Marian just smiled at him and went to answer the door. When she opened it she found the gang there. She looked at them confused. But they all just said hi and walked in. When Marian entered the kitchen she got the same confused look from Robin.

"Not that I don't love you all but why are you here?" Marian asked

"Well we decided that we couldn't be bothered to meet at the normal spot and we guessed you two would be together so we thought we'd come see you. Also you weren't at the camp last night. Why was that?" Paula questioned

"They were to busy discovering each other again" Alan smirked

"Shut up Alan. Actually we needed to sort out some things. You'll find out tonight when you all come round here" Robin stated

"Sounds serious maybe you should tell us now" Will suggested

"Well we don't know the whole story yet so we can't not till tonight" Marian replied

The rest just nodded and every sat chatting till it was time to leave for school. Once at school Marian headed to Richards office with Robin. They knocked and when he answered they walked in. Richard looked up from the papers in front of him. His expression changed when he saw who it was.

"I'm guessing you told miss fitzwalter about your travels" Richard stated

"Yes he did and we want some answers not more lies. We are old enough and responsible enough to handle it" Marian exclaimed

"Yes I think it's time you knew the truth too but not now you have lessons to get to. When do you wish to do this?" he asked

"Tonight, at Marian's house" Robin stated

"Will Edward be there" he questioned

"That was the plan and so will the rest of our friends as this concerns all of them" Marian responded

"Very well I will see you tonight at 5. Now off to lessons" Richard ordered

With that they left and headed off to english were the rest of the group were waiting. They walked in as it was just them and there english teacher. Once Robin did his speaking and listening the rest of the gang said by and headed off to second period while Robin stayed and did his Science coursework exam. When the bell rang for break Robin met up with the gang and they mucked around like they did every break. As Robin and Marian knew this was most likely to be last time they would be able to be carefree and enjoy themselves together. They all headed off to there next two periods when the bell rang. Marian looked around in art thinking how everything she knew was about to change. She would never have a normal day again. She was scared. Her future depended on her exams but then she had this massive weight on her shoulders of know that once they were over she would no longer be a girl but a women going out in the world with her child-hood best friend; her school sweet-heart and possibly her friends. She was going into an unknown world. A world that had no dreams it was reality and what was bad was bad and the good was good; it was a black and white world. Full of secrets and deception. Then came the question could she survive in this world? Yes with Robin and her friends she could survive. No more dreaming this was the real world and it was full of danger.

The bell rang bring Marian out of her thoughts. She packed up the last of her things and walked out joking with Paula. They made there way to there last ever PE lesson. When they were changed they stood outside. They had a choice for there last lesson they could either play rounders or mixed football. The gang choose football just for the fact they could have some fun. They put it girls verses boys. By the end of the game the girls had won but only because they had cheated by detracting the boys. Once out of the changing rooms they ran over to the field for lunch. The boys mucked around throwing

things back and forth.

"It's hot today" Djaq exclaimed

"Yeah I'm boiling" Paula agreed

"Let me cool you down then" Alan smirked and squirted his water bottle at her

She screamed and picked up her bottle squirting it back. Soon it turned into a water fight and by the time the bell rang they were all dripping wet. They walked into form only to be told to go dry up. They all headed to the bath rooms.

"So Marian Robin told you what's been going on in the past year" Alice asked

"Yeah, he told me everything" Marian sighed

"I guess will find out tonight" Dean asked

"Yeah we all will" Marian stated

Once the bell went they all headed to there last lessons. When the last bell rang Marian walked over to her locker and picked out her PE Kit. Robin came up to her hugging her from behind. She turned in his arms and kissed him on the lips. Robin grinned at her.

"What are you grinning at?" Marian questioned

"What am I smiling at? Good question maybe it's the fact that I don't have anymore coursework to do. Also I just got off the phone with your father and guess where I'm moving into?" Robin smirked

"Are you serious your moving in with me!" Marian squealed hugging Robin "This is the best"

Robins mood suddenly shifted, his grin turned into a frown and his grip on her tightened. Marian knew that this meant Guy was coming over to talk to her. She turned in Robins arms and rest back against his chest. Guy stopped a safe distance away from her.

"Hey Robin I just wanted to say in person I'm sorry about what happened last year and welcome back" Guy explained

"Thanks. Where's Vaisey he wouldn't be too happy about you apologising" Robin retorted

"He's gone away with his father. I just wanted to say this before I leave" Guy explianed

"Go where are you going?" Marian asked

"I'm going to live with my father so this is goodbye" Guy put his hand out to shake

"I guess it is" Marian said shaking his hand as did Robin

"See you around" Guy winked before leaving.

Marian turned to look at Robin to see that he looked just as confused as she was. He shrugged and led her out of the school. When they reached Marian's she got changed and Marian's father drove them to Robins to pick up all his things. Once Robin had packed up all his things and placed them into the car. He locked the door and left his house for the last time. Once back at Marian's Robin placed all his stuff in Marian's room; Edward had agreed that Robin could stay in Marian's room as they had been for ages. Edward also knew about the dinner tonight as Richard had phoned him and explained.

Marian and Robin were in the kitchen preparing dinner while messing around. Everyone would be arriving soon and it was then that they knew that the mucking around had to stop and things would become serious. One by one people came and soon they were all sat round the dinner table. Food was served and light conversation flowed between everyone. Alan being Alan was making jokes and even Richard was laughing after hearing Alan's latest prank which did earn him detention but as he put it 'It was worth it'. As dinner came to an end the atmosphere changed between curiosity nervousness and confusion. They all made there way through to the living room. Once they were all seated Marian stood in front of them with Robin at her side.

"Right well now dinners finished its time to tell you why were all here. Last night Robin told me about his trip over the past year and it has raised questions that we feel need answering. That we all need to know the truth. So I'll let Robin tell his story and maybe you'll understand a bit better"

Marian went and sat down again while Robin recited what had happened just like the night before. Once he finished everyone was silent; not knowing what to say. Alan was the first one to speak.

"So your saying that our parents 'ave been lying to us?" Alan asked angry

"No just not telling us the whole truth" Robin sighed "Richard I think its time you explain to us what it is that our parents really do"

Richard stood up and Robin took a place next to Marian "Well first off I just want to say the only reason we lied to you was to protect you. Your parents are part of a group of people who investigate world wide crime. Such as drug operations and arms dealing. Robin the mission your parents were sent on was to deal with illgeal weapon selling to terrorist. That is when they were taken"

"So your saying your like agents of some sort" Will asked

"Yes" Richard replied bluntly

"Why the hell are you our head teacher then?" Alan exclaimed

"Like I said we lied to protect you. Your parents jobs put there families in danger. So the best option was that someone was there to protect you at all times. I volentered. It helped that you were all friends. You have all been trained in some sort of defence training so would have been able to take care of yourself" Richard replied

"What about our parents my mum?" Marian asked shakely

Edward was the one to replied "Marian"

"No I want to know. Did she really die in a car crash with Will's mother?" Marian pushed

Richard looked at Will to see if he was alright. To which his reply was a nod. Richard took a deep breath "No they did not die in a car crash. They were killed by Johnathen Gisbourn"

At this Marian looked at Richard with wide eyes "Guy's father killed my mother?" she asked in disbelief

"Yes, On this misson now they were taken and killed. Marian Will I am so sorry. We thought it best to keep you and will out of this" Richard tried to explain but Marian was looking at her father

"She died doing what she thought was right. I tired to stop her I did" Edward tired to help

"This has got way out of control we are close but we need something John will not expect" Richard sighed

"He wouldn't expect you to send a load of kid's" Robin stated

"Robin I can not ask that of you" Richard exclaimed

"Who said you would be asking" Paula stated

"Yeah you think we are going to sit back while one by one our family gets smaller?" Alan questioned

"I am not sitting here and letting them get away with this. They need to be stopped!" Djaq shouted

Everyone was nodding "So your saying you want to do this?" Richard asked

"I'm in"

"Same here"

"You couldn't stop me"

one by one they all agreed but when Marian said she would her father stood.

"No Marian you will not be part of this I will not allow it!" Edward all but shouted

"What! No I will help! I refuse to sit out while my friends and the only family I have left go out and risk there lives" Marian shouted back

"NO I've lost your mother I refuse to lose you too" Edward shouted

"It's what mum would have wanted! She would have wanted me to do what I believed in she always said to me do what you believe is best and thats what I'm going to do!" Marian stated firmly.

Edward looked at Marian and realised that he was not going to win "You know you are just as determined as your mother. I could never win with her either" Edward sighed

"Very well now that that is done. We must discuss somethings. This I a very dangerous thing your doing. So you need training. Everyday after school 5 til 7 training will be held in the gym. I will give Robin the keys. But you will not do anything till after your exams you still need an education" Richard ordered "Well with that I will leave you to think about this"

With that Richard left and Edward left them all the think about what had been said. Marian turned to Robin and looked at him "Well at least we know the truth" Marian sighed "How comes I don't feel any better?"

"Because maybe its not what we wanted to hear we wanted to hear that we had all been dreaming for the past for years and that we'd all wake up and the world would be all flowers and rainbows" Robin sighed

"I need some air" Will stated and walked out to the back garden

"I'll go speak with him" Marian said before going after Will

As Marian came out to her back garden she saw will sat on the swing looking at the sky. Marian walked over to him and sat next to him. She knew what was wrong with him the same thing that was hurting her was hurting him.

"I'm sorry Will I had to ask. I needed to know" Marian apologised

"It's okay Maz' I just always thought my mother died simply and now I know she did it to try and protect other people. I just feel so betrayed. Is it self of to not care about all them other people but to hate them because if they were not there I would still have her and me and my brother would have our mother." Will stated

"No I use to think that all the time. As horrible as it is I wish someone could take her place so I would still have her" Marian replied

"I just wish if she had to die that I could have been there to say goodbye and tell her I loved her" Will now had silent tears running down his face

"So do I. But you know they would want us to keep fighting keep going. Look at Robin he's been through so much and yet here he stands ready to fight. Your not alone Will you've us and most of all you've got Djaq. Now I say we get some sleep and then tomorrow we get up and face the world with a new reason to get out of school" Marian exclaimed

Will smiled at her "You make use sound like some kind of super hero team"

"Like when we were kids. I get to be the girl that turns invisable" Marian joked

Will laughed "Only if i'm the one that gets to make the cool gadgets"

"Totally. Just because we have this doesn't mean we can't have fun right?" Will asked

"Hey as far as I'm concerned I'm still a kid till I walk out them school gates for the last time" Marian smiled

Will and her made there way back inside and they all disused something and then they left Robin and Marian. Once Marian was sat in bed she started to think about how the day had changed so quickly. Robin laid down next to her "What are you thinking about?" Robin asked

"My mother always said that out of a bad day amoungst all the bad things there are good things too. So I was thinking about the good things. You moving in , Guy moving away, Vaisey gone, I finally know the truth and most importantly your allowed to share my room" Marian smiled

"Yes I like that very much too. Now lets get some sleep" Robin stated kissing her

With that Marian laid her head down on Robin's chest and the constant beating of his heart sent her to sleep.

Okay right this took me about 4 weeks to right or something like that! So you better enjoy it!!

I loved writing this. My favourite part was Will and Marian's conversation.

Anyway love it hate I want to know!
