LOTR and all in it belong to Tolkien. The only thing I can claim is the
vampire. The descriptions go by the movie as do a lot of things. This is
slight AU because Frodo hasn't left yet and for other reasons. My first
LOTR fic so please be kind. Read and Review! If I at least get three
reviews, I'll continue! And please, not 'it's cool', give something
constructive.
Silent Darkness
The figure silently walked through the trees. His sharp eyes caught every movement. His pale hair and skin reflected the moonlight as he made his way. He was close. He just hoped that he wasn't bringing trouble to his friend's doorstep. But he probably was, she was always nearby, waiting. He only hoped his friend could help him. He came to the small door and silently opened it. He slipped in quietly and closed it behind him. He had found it easy to break into to places that he needed to go, ever since this had started.
He saw a light at the end of the hall and crept toward it, his feet making no sound. He slowly peered into the next room, his senses telling him someone was there. He soon saw him, and he let out a sigh of relief as he came from his hiding place.
The other turned around quickly. Wide blue eyes took a look at him and the person relaxed.
"Legolas, you scared me. How did you get in here and why are you here? Not that I am unhappy to see you," the hobbit said.
He was surprised to see his friend there, but what was more so about how his friend had changed. His pale complexion was now even paler, a deathly white. His eyes held fear and loss in them. His long hair was tangled and his clothes were torn and bloody,
"Frodo, as much as it is good to see you again. I need help, and I am afraid I have brought my danger to you as well. She has probably all ready gotten Gimli and Aragorn and who knows, she is probably coming after you as well," Legolas said.
"Please, sit down and explain," Frodo said, gesturing to a chair nearby.
Legolas fell into it wearily but his eyes were still alert.
"All right. After our quest was over and you and the others returned home. I was traveling home myself, when I started to notice that I was being followed. I thought it might be an orc seeking revenge or something, so I waited to see. That is where I made my mistake, though I think she would have found me no matter what happened. As night fell, she came. She is unlike any creature that I have met, Frodo. I thought she was completely harmless, just a young maiden that had lost her way. If only I had known what she was, I would have killed her as soon as I saw her. Then I wouldn't be like this, and the others wouldn't be in danger," Legolas whispered miserably.
Frodo's sharp eyes glanced and Legolas' neck, and noticed two small marks on the side. Horror gripped him.
"Legolas, you don't mean." Frodo said softly.
"Yes, Frodo, I was attacked by a vampire," Legolas whispered.
