Chapter 10
We finally stopped for the night. We were all growing tired though something at the back of my mind was nagging me the lack of a good nights rest had gotten to me and I could not figure out what.
We drew our boats up to the shore and set a watch luckily mine was not for a while and I could get some rest. I was up first having the last watch and set about making a small fire to warm some water for our breakfast. Before dawn I woke the members of the fellowship.
As the sun rose we could see black bars of clouds in the murky red sunlight. "The day has come at last, the day of choice which we have long delayed. What shall now become of our company that has traveled so far in fellowship? Shall we turn west with Boromir and go to the wars of Gondor; or turn east to the Fear and Shadow; or shall we break our fellowship and go this way and that as each may choose? Whatever we do must be done soon. We cannot long halt here. The enemy is on the eastern shore, we know; but I fear that the Orcs may already be on this side of the water"
The choice was set on Frodo and he asked for an hour of choice. The nagging feeling came upon me again and I debated following Frodo to make sure nothing would happen to him. But I decided against it quickly and sat down to wait.
We waited by the river-side for a long while it was silent. Then some began to talk but still I was in my own little world. I was doing my best to stay as much out of the story as possible so as not to effect its out come that greatly.
When Boromir returned and told us his tail many drew into panic but this part of the story came back to me. I glanced at Boromir with a sad expression. This was his end but I said nothing. We split into groups and I got stuck with Pip, Merry and Boromir... Shit now I would have to do something only fate could decide how this would turn out.
While we were searching for Frodo something had caught Boromir's and my attention. But it was to late out of no where an arrow flew past my face and into a tree "Shit!" I cried before drawing my blade "Orcs!" I screeched as we were swarmed by the ugly beasts.
I tried to keep tabs on Boromir and the Hobbits but they were soon lost in the crowd. I was backed away from the clearing fighting against five Orcs. It seemed for ever Orc I killed two more took its place. I was so distracted I did not feel the creature that had snuck up on me until his blade pierced my left shoulder. I let out a loud cry of pain as the sword was pulled out. I turned around taking out the creature that had just stabbed me. The only thing that kept me fighting was my survival instincts. Finally there were no more Orcs to fight and I started to make my way back to the clearing we had been attacked in.
I heard Aragon yell as Boromir slipped away and knew I was to late. I stumbled into the clearing my shirt now soaked with my own blood. I fell to my knees and whimpered "I'm sorry" I whispered "I tried to stop it..." my voice failed as I fell into darkness. The last thing I saw was Aragon moving to catch me.
(Changing out of POV while I'm out cold!)
Aragon caught the girl as she fell seeing the wound on her back a large blade had pierced her back but luckily had not hit anything to threatening. Loss of blood and pain had caused her to pass out. Just then Gimli and Legolas entered ready for a battle.
"Boromir is dead and Lisa is wounded. I am unscathed for I was not here with him. He fell defending the hobbits, while I was away upon the hill. Lisa seems to have been lead away from the hobbits as well"
"The hobbits! Where are they then? Where is Frodo?" Gimli asked "I do not know Before he died Boromir told me that the Orcs had bound them; he did not think that they were dead. I sent him to follow Merry and Pippin; but I did not ask him if Frodo or Sam were with him: not until it was to late. All that I had done today has gone amiss. What is to be done now?"
"First we must tend to the fallen and injured We cannot leave him lying like carrion among these foul Orcs and Lisa will not last long if she keeps on losing blood" Legolas said and Gimli nodded "But we must be swift"
So they set about their tasks Legolas tended to Lisa as Aragon and Gimli set about preparing Boromir and the boat that would carry him.
While Gimli and Aragon drug Boromir towards the water Legolas carefully picked up Lisa's body being weary of the wound in her back. He walked with her back to the shores and laid her down on her stomach so he could tend to the wounds. Removing the shirt he found a pack that had a few medical supplies.
After boiling water and cleaning the wound he stitched it up with a makeshift needle and thread then bound it in cloth. Putting her shirt back on he carried her over to the others.
After a long farewell to Boromir they set to the task of figuring out how they would deal with the wounded and still unconscious Lisa. "We could use the bier" he pointed to the object they had drug Boromir to the river on it was three branches lashed together with a cloak spread across it. "It would slow our travels and leave a trail for others to follow." Aragon shook his head. "I will carry her" Legolas said he was still holding the unconscious woman "It may slow me down but I am the fastest of the group so It will not effect me to much" They all agreed and set out on the trail to find the hobbits.
The day had passed as well as most of the night before they stopped and Lisa was still out. They ate some food and rested their weary feet. Legolas went to check on the girl and her wound.
(back to POV)
The cool soft ground was under me as I slowly came out of the sleep. A soft hand brushed against my forehead to check for a temperature as I stirred "Hu?" I slowly opened an eye to the darkness before dawn.
"So you finally wake" I blinked a few times before a face came into focus. Legolas "Aiy what happened?" I tried to sit up but a hand softly pushed me back down.
"You were stabbed by an Orc blade in battle. Luckily we found you in time but we were not so lucky with Boromir nor the hobbits" Both eyes popped open. "I was to late" I muttered.
"It is not your fault you did all you could Frodo and Sam left before the attack so they are safe we are on the trail of Pippin and Merry" I nodded and again tried to sit up.
"You must rest your shoulder is no where near healed" I growled at Legolas "I will not be a burden on this journey let me up" But again he shook his head keeping a firm hand on my good shoulder.
"you are no burden... I would carry you to the ends of the earth if I must" his words got to me "Why?" was all I could say my mind was clouded with possibilities and doubts of those possibilities.
"Because... no matter what you say or do I care for you and do not wish to see you hurt or dead" I blinked a few times opening and closing my mouth a few times like a fish. No matter how I tried I couldn't get the words to come out.
"You said at the beginning of this journey that you did not want to get to close to us because of those who may fall but when you were hurt I realized it was to late I was to close to you. I can not lose you to another it would break my heart. You have become the thing that pushes me on through this journey... I truly care for you Lisa"
I watched him for a minute he seemed scared that I would try to run again and my mind was screaming for me to run but as I looked back upon the past few months and when I tried to think of what it would be like without him I realized something... "Legolas... I"
He face fell and my heart nearly broke. I couldn't say anything else instead I reached up flinching slightly as I moved the torn muscles in my back and put my hand on his face. He looked at me as I moved sitting up slightly.
He went to protest but before he could I covered his mouth with mine. It was a soft brief kiss but it shut him up. "I care for you as well Legolas." He smiled pulling me into a gentle embrace being careful of my shoulder.
We had talked in those months back in Rivendell and I had told him about my fear of love and getting heart broken and apparently he had remembered.
I was content just staying in his arms all day but the sounds of the others getting ready brought me back to reality. The sky was near black and the moon was gone it was the hour before dawn and we needed to be back on the trail.
The others were happy to see that I was awake and we took a few extra minutes to let me eat some Lembas bread and drink some water before we set out.
As we traveled we came across some remains of Orcs but it was to dark to see much.
The sun was about to rise when Legolas spotted an eagle in the sky. It seems the Eagle was following us or showing us the way we had seen it many times before.
The break of day brought us some hope and made the trail easier to follow. I was getting extremely restless in Legolas' arms "Can I please walk!" I whimpered batting my eyes and trying to look pathetic... Apparently my puppy dog eyes did not work on Legolas because every time I got the same reply "NO!"
I was never that great at them anyways. So here I was my good arm slung around Legolas' shoulder while he carried me. Don't get me wrong I was VERY comfortable but I'm a girl who likes to do things for herself. I don't need a man to be my knight in shinning armor though it is very sweet and thoughtful of him. But DAMN IT I'm getting antsy!
As dark yet again fell a debate on whether to go on or stop came up. I knew what lies ahead and there was no hurry. Why run into a massacre to only chance getting wounded when the little hobbits would make it out just fine.
Thankfully Aragon seemed to be on the same wave length that I was because he chose for us to rest.
((Only slightly longer I actually wrote a few pages more then this but I thought It would make a better chapter 11 Laughs evilly))
