The Winter House Trilogy:
Icebreak
Book 2
CHAPTER 1
OF ELIZABETH AND BOROMIR
AN: Hey guys, I had to re-post this. Sorry about that.
Elizabeth's POV
"Elizabeth." groaned a voice, "Elizabeth. Elizabeth!"
"Aww, shut up Boromir." I muttered.
"Elizabeth!"
"OMG," I got up from my cot and walked over to Boromir's. I hadn't gotten hardly any sleep since he'd survived his wounds, worst part was, Aragorn had made ME stay and watch over him while he healed while him, Leoglas, Gimli, and Samantha went Orc-hunting, man, I wanted to go!
Boromir was lying on his good side and staring at me with drowsy eyes. "Yes Boromir?" I said gently.
"I'm hungry."
"Well, it is 6:30 in the morning, which means breakfast I guess. –But first, we're gonna have to change your bandages." I helped him sit up on the edge of the bed; he'd gained enough strength to sit up on his own thank god. I slowly unwrapped the old bandages exposing his chest and took a cloth and wiped the wounds, two arrow wounds to be exact and replaced the bandages.
"There you are Steward Prince." I said. "Stay here, I'm going to go get some Lembas bread for you." Boromir made a face.
"Or you could wait until lunch."
"No, I'm too hungry."
"OK." I walked to the luggage in another chamber and got out two of the elven breads, one for me, one for him. I handed him the bread, already unwrapped and he began to eat it, slowly, while I feasted on my own piece. When we were done, Bormir said, "Can you sing something?"
I looked at him, "Really?"
"Yes, I like your singing too, not just Legolas."
"A lot of people like my singing pretty boy." I said. I thought of a song that I knew, something inspirational, something to lift our weary spirits.
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
[Chorus:]
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear
[Chorus]
The Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
[Chorus]
"Thank you, Elizabeth, that song is spirit-lifting, it makes me feel a little better." I smiled.
Millie's POV
"Gandalf!" I blinked my eyes open to see Frodo sitting up with his eyes wide, he'd had another nightmare.
"Are you OK?" I asked.
"Yes," he replied, "It was just a dream."
I looked at the sky, "It's dawn, we should probably get going, I'll wake Sam." He briefly nodded.
