He Led Her On Chapter Two

Hello again! I decided to continue this story despite the lack of reviews. From now the story is about Legolas and me. Also I am changing my name to Lady Arithnarith. Let me know what you think.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I stared at the brooch in my hand. How could this have happened? If this wasn't a dream, then how come I had Legolas' s brooch? How did I get back? Better yet, how did I get there in the first place? I just sat on my bed pondering until my mother told me to bet up. I really didn't feel like doing anything, especially since I was beginning to feel like a truck ran over me. "Momí, I don't feel well at all. I'm going back to bed." My mom let me do as I wished. "All right, Honey. I'll bring you some soup later." To my mother, soup was the cure for all sickness.

Now that I was safely in my room without fear of being interrupted (and with a picture of Legolas) I began to study the brooch. I had never realized how beautiful it was (especially on Legolas), now that it was in my possession. Although as much as I wanted to keep it, I felt compelled to return it to its oh so handsome owner. "If only I could go back," I whispered.

Suddenly, as if out of nowhere, I noticed an odd looking mark on the floor. It was in the shape of the brooch. "Funny," I mused. "I've never seen this before." I placed the brooch on the mark and it started to glow. Then I removed it and touched the marking. Immediately the black hole appeared and I fell through.

This time there was no Legolas to break my fall, so I landed on the hard ground. As I looked around I noticed I was in the exact same spot where I had previously fallen. I heard a soft whinny to my left. There was a lone horse tied to a rock, which was odd because the camp was deserted. It was hard to see what color he was because it was so dark I couldn't tell if it was really cloudy or if it was nightfall. All I could tell was that this was a horse fit for a king. Slowly I walked toward the magnificent beast and began to look through its saddlebags to see if there was any clue as to who the owner was. Instead I found a change of clothes, water, a note and...lembas bread! Only Legolas could have arranged this, I thought as my heart gave a little flop. I looked at the note. Suddenly I became very angry as it was written in elfish. "HOW ON MIDDLE EARTH AM I SUPPOSED TO READ ELFISH?! I DON"T EVEN SPEAK ELFISH!" I shouted. After I calmed down a bit I noticed there was a translation at the bottom, which read:

Dear Lady Órelindë, If you should find this note, then know that I am well and am riding into battle with Aragorn and Gimli. I have left you with a horse to bear you away to safety and some provisions for your journey. I should survive this battle and we survive the war, I would very much like to see you again (and get my brooch back).
Sincerely,
Legolas Greenleaf P.S. You owe me an explanation of your sudden leave of absence.

I smiled at his last comment. Yes, I did owe him an explanation.\

The impatient horse interrupted my thoughts. "Alright, alright, I'll get a move on," I said. "Just as soon as I change my clothes." I took the clothes Legolas had given me and went to the nearest abandoned tent and put them on. They fit like a glove. He had given me a cream colored tunic with a burgundy bodice and forest green leggings with leather boots. And to top it all off, he gave me an indigo cloak as beautiful as anything Arwen or Galadriel had ever worn. "I'll have to remember to thank Legolas," I said to myself.

I went back to the horse and stored my clothes in the saddlebag. I finally got to have a good look at him. He was absolutely gorgeous; he could have passed as Shadowfax except that he was a fiery red. "Well, I can't just call you Horse," I told him. "I shall call you Fuego, which means fire in Spanish, because your coat is like fire itself." And with that, I mounted Fuego. He immediately dashed for the mountains that led toward Edoras, but I stopped him." We are not going to a place of safety, Fuego," I informed him. "We are going to Mordor!"
