Chapter 2-

Alardrien gazed at her friends intently. They all looked away save Alex and Row. Ally talked to them "Please be ready to help me if I call upon you."

They nodded understandingly and walked back into the woods. The fellowship boarded small sailing boats and prepared for their journey down the river.

Aragorn's P.O.V.

Ally has agreed to watch over the fellowship and protect us. I'm caught in this decision. There is something about her, obviously Legolas sees it too because he could not take his eyes off her all last night. I do not think straight anymore, Arwen has been abandoned by my mind and all I can think of is Ally. I know it is wrong. The worst thing is that I cannot tell either Ally or Arwen not knowing whom I will anger and offend. Legolas will be broken if she return's my thoughts. I just have to know if she does.

Legolas's P.O.V.

I woke up this morning only to see my best friend curled up next to Aragorn. I can't explain how feel. It's a possibility I may be jealous but this is Ally, Ally's my friend, my best friend, I grew up with her. I can't love her. What would she say? It's obvious she has taken to Aragorn who's meant to be my friend too. Shouldn't I be happy? Shouldn't I be encouraging them as Pippin did last night? But I cannot. When I hugged her it felt right. It felt like it was meant to be. I cannot give up on that even if it means hurting someone.

Alardrien's P.O.V

My arrival seems to have caused uproar among the fellowship. I can't believe Legolas's childish antics. It's almost as if he's jealous of Aragorn. I honestly can't believe that. Legolas is my best friend and I'm not sure if I can stretch my feelings any further than that. As for Aragorn, he's been fairly quiet. I can't help blushing whenever his dark eyes gaze at me. Yet I know he is my cousin's. Arwen doesn't know how lucky she is. Legolas is looking better than when I last saw him. A lot better. But as I said before. He is my friend. I love him as such, don't I?

Normal P.O.V

The boats continued to sail down the river. The only sound came from the hobbits and the river splashing up against the sides of the boats. Alardrien was in Legolas's boat and she encouraged him while he rowed. From time to time she spoke out to Aragorn to see how he was going. Gimli chatted at the front of Ally's boat to no one in particular. Ally sighed and yawned and leaned up against Legolas and slept. Aragorn watched from a distance. The river flowed more steadily now and the need to row that much wasn't great. He saw Legolas brush some hair out of her face and he whispered something softly in her ear that only Ally could hear.

"Stay with me."

A/N- Sorry, I know it's short but it was just an impulsive story and I don't exactly know where it's going so any idea's would be much appreciated.
