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.
