3rd chapter was a total bitch to imagine because of all the events involved in it but I finally have it... sorta. Don't know who is gonna make the first move in this romance. But who do you think would make it funnier. This chapter will be longer than the other two.

Thank you guest (Kari) for reviewing but he will have his ears pulled weather you or him like it because I'm an evil bitch (quote from everyone at school).

Thank you sieni1 for the review and I'm glad you like the relationship.

Disclaimer is the same as always.


Chapter 3: I'm sorry I didn't mean to...

2 days and 12 fights with Legolas later, Alek and the fellowship had arrived on top of a rocky, dusty hill. Hooray! Yeah Alek had turned to sarcasm because she had to endure an hour of Aragorn talking about how to track, never say to Aragorn how did you do that after he has finished tracking he will explain the whole process. After Aragorn left to accompany Boromir at teaching Pippin and Merry how to fight, for they did not know how. Alek watched from a high bolder and listened in. "Get away from the blade, Pippin...on your toes...good, very good...I want you to react, not think." Boromir instructed

"Should not be too hard" Sam smiled

"Move your feet" Aragorn instructed

"Quite good Pippin" Merry praised as they swapped over

"Thanks" Pippin replied.

From behind her head Gimli was going on about cutting through the mines of Moria and Gandalf just declined the idea of it all. Boromir thrusts forward knocking Merry's hand. Boromir apologizes more than once but anyhow gets tackled to the ground by Merry and Pippin, everyone who was looking at the group laughed, Alek took the chance to freely start a tickle fight with Aragorn and she caught him off guard. This ranger needed to be on guard more. Aragorn was laughing ever more as he pushed Alek down onto the hard ground and tickled her, he was grinning at her. He suddenly went back to Strider as he herd Legolas shout "Crebain from Dunland"

"Hide!" Aragorn called back, he grabbed Alek's wrist and they hid under a ledge. She heard the fellowship talk but all she could only think about what was next after the long daily walk up a mountain she shivered to think of the mine that lay deep under the ground.

As the fellowship started walking to the mountain Alek was the rear of the group she didn't even hear Legolas insulting her no she was numb and didn't know what to do. You see dear Alek was claustrophobic to the point where she couldn't breathe where she was under ground and in the dark. Moria was all of that and more.

Alek walked slowly through the snow she remembered how much she hated the snow as a big chunk slipped down her shirt, she squealed at the sensation of the ice. Legolas was walking on top of the snow while most of the fellowship was deep in the cold stuff. He was in perfect aim for Alek to freely hit him with a snow ball but she was still numb with fear, the group would try to ask her what was wrong but she would not answer. "We will go through the mines of moria" Frodo said unknowingly. Alek froze in place was it that far in already she sprinted up to Aragorn knowing now how to stay on top of snow "I can't go through the minds, it brings sudden coughing fits and black outs. And it's not good for my health since some coughing fits make me lose blood. Please allow me to carry up the mountain" Alek was begging her green eyes met Aragorn's fatherly grey ones he opened his mouth and instructed

"you will wait for us on the other side". Boromir and I swapped cloaks since his was fur lined and would keep me warmer as I trekked through the snow.


It took about 3 days to reach the top of the mountain and half a day, since she found a way of making a pair of skis and sled down the mountain, the rest of that day was spent making a small fire and staring into the opening of the mine. Just waiting for days on end, because she promised, she was now at least clean, stuffed and quenched as well as warm. She didn't touch the supplies in her pack but instead hunted for rabbits to eat.

It was the afternoon and she was cooking another rabbit to eat with a few wild onions. When Alek noticed the fellowship leave the mountain she wasn't going to run the long distance she put between her and the opening of the mine instead she served the food for the fellowship as she packed and thanked the gods for the food. She was just saying her final thanks to the rabbit as the fellowship approached. The hobbits found the food a comfort, Alek smiled weakly until she noticed Gandalf was gone she then began to thank Gandalf for his strength and beg the gods to allow him piece and remembrance. When Legolas grabbed Alek's shirt and forced her to look into his eyes he was hurt a fool could notice that "It's your fault he died! You knew!" he growled at her she was now numb, was it her fault? Was Alek to blame? Did she do the right thing? When Legolas didn't get an answer from Alek he tossed her into a tree, she yelped painfully. The rest of the fellowship watched in fear as Legolas took one of his twin blades and kicked her onto her back he was about to kill her when he asked "why shouldn't I kill you?" Alek was still numb and didn't answer but as the blade went down she clenched it with both hands bloods pouring out of the cuts in her hand as tears spilt from her eyes, Aragorn saw this and grabbed Legolas pulling the elf back. The elf broke down into tears. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to let him die if I didn't know why he had to if I didn't not go in I would have stopped him but I knew I couldn't do that. And everything I said was true I don't like dark small tight spaces in fact they are the things that petrify me" Alek chocked as she moved herself carefully onto the tree where she let her emotions out. The hobbits ran to Alek as they began to cry into Boromir's cloak. Boromir moved around the hobbits to behind Alek so he could slowly comfort the girl Aragorn sat to the side with Legolas who was gasping for breath. Alek opened her mouth to sing leaves of a vine as Gimli sat between the two groups.

After an hour or so of this the group took off for the Elven realm of Lothlorien the hobbits were still being and giving comfort by Alek so none were paying any heed to Haldir's and Aragorn's chit chat or the Lady Galadriel or Lord Celeborn especially not Alek since she was holding tightly to Pippin and Merry who wouldn't let go off her. She was suddenly snapped out of her soothing actions by said Lady in her mind 'You have no way to return home until you finish the quest but you must chose wisely after the task or your happiness will not be found again' she was gone out of her mind as quickly as she came she was gone. Alek was numb with the information given so when showed to the camp spot she crawled into a tent and slept waking up two hours later and was now staring blankly at the silver glowing canopy above. She didn't even hear Legolas approach her, until she accidentally tripped over his foot in the best gown packed by Arwen yet. But Legolas grabbed her before she fell completely on her face as she stood again she leaned over the ledge as she looked over the market spot "hey look. Legolas I'm sorry okay" she sighed he smiled before looking out as well "and I am also sorry. Let's start again okay" Alek just nodded at him. They could start again couldn't they.
