Ok ppl disclaimer is on the first page. Thank you Laura for being my first
reviewer! Free tea for you! (Celestial Seasonings joke) Like I said in the
last chapter I could take this to RotK or stop at Lorien. What do you
think? Now on to the fic!
Chapter one: Feelings Shown
One night while Legolas was on watch Maxxy decided she was going to get to know the Elf better. Coming up to the rock he was sitting on in the darkness she sat near his leg and put her head in his lap. He pushed her away and climbed up the nearest tree. She looked at him then walked over and lied down by Frodo, who had watched the entire scene. Wondering why the Elf had acted so, he slipped into sleep. The next morning Frodo approached the Elvin prince. "Legolas, why did you push Maxxy away last night on your watch?" "I don't like dogs," he said simply and turned back to his breakfast refusing to talk about it. Frodo turned to find Sam feeding Maxxy bits from his plate. "If you keep doing that she'll get fat," he chided him gently. I know but she's so skinny. I was just trying to make it so her ribs didn't show," he answered, "she was just so thin when we found her." "I know what you mean. But she's getting better." Frodo turned to Gimli, "whose turn is it to supply dinner tonight?" "I believe it is Master Elf's turn to quest for the evening meal. I wonder if we'll be having squirrel again."
After the Fellowship had made camp Legolas took up his quiver and bow and started into the woods. After a few minuets he realized he was being followed. In the blink eye the prince turned and cocking his bow. What he saw startled him. "No, Maxine, go back to camp. I need no assistance." The dog slowly wagged her tail and began to turn around. Legolas also turned and continued hunting. Moments later he again found his steps dogged, literally. "Maxxy," he yelled sharply, "go back to camp! Now!" She whined and lied down with her head on her paws and looked at him through her lashes. He couldn't help but notice how.cute she looked. It was his undoing. "Alright you can come but stay out of my way." Maxxy jumped up, trotted over to his side and barked. He smirked, "this does not make us friends. Understand?" She looked at him and sneezed.
"Has anyone seen Maxxy?" Merry asked after he had helped Aragorn cut some herbs he had gathered that day. Scattered no's and shaking heads were his only answers. "You don't think she went with Legolas do you?" he looked at his cousin. A brief look of horror crossed Pippin's face. "Ya don't think somethin' bad happened to her do ya?" Gandalf shook his head. "I don't think so. She has most probably gone to assist Legolas, securing that fact that we will NOT be having squirrel again." After an hours walk Maxxy suddenly crouched low, her gaze never leaving the bush a few feet in front of her. Legolas strained his keen ears but could hear nothing. Knowing a dog's nose was very powerful he guessed that she had smelled something he didn't. "What is it, girl?" Upon hearing his voice a deer leapt out of the bush. Legolas drew an arrow and hit the young stag just barely off his mark. The stag stumbled. In pain it turned and charged at the blond Elf. Shocked by the deer's actions he tripped backwards and fell. The stag was nearly upon him, about to trample him. Out of nowhere a brown blur charged the stag and knocking it off its course, putting him out of danger. Maxxy stood at his feet before racing after the animal. Grabbing one of its hind legs she held on tight. Her strong jaws like cold steel. Recovering quickly, Legolas shot the deer again, ending its life. Maxxy walked over and sat down next to him. "So much for Gimli's squirrels, huh, girl?" she barked happily in answer.
Well what did you think? Please tell. I'm interested in how I could make this better. Ok shout outs! WAIT!! There are no shout outs because no body reviewed except my new best friend ~Laura~ ;;Hugs!;; Come on ppl! R/R, please!
