Chapter 11- Say What?-Katie POV:

"Um…what?" real intelligent Katie! Is that the best you could do?

"Will you marry me?"

"Yes?" I think I was going into shock! Can that happen to an elf? I guess, I mean they could die of grief. "Yes!" I flung my arms around his neck.

We walked into the hall. Aragon was pacing. Never a good sign.

"Where have you two been? Never mind! We leave tomorrow at dawn, make sure you are ready!" And with that he stormed out. What was eating him? I turned to Legolas for an explanation. He shrugged. Wow! What was UP with him?

"Hello sister!" I knew that voice! Oh shit! WHY? Does someone up there HATE me? This can NOT be happening! No WONDER Aragon was in a foul mood!

"Hello Elladan! To what do I owe this pleasure?" If I sucked up maybe he would leave me alone! But that was TOO much to ask for!

"Elrohir and I are dividing, and conquering. He has Haldir, and I'm here to collect Legolas!"

"Now why would you need to collect Legolas?" If I played dumb, maybe he would think he got wrong and leave us alone!

"Do not play dumb with me sister!"

"Fine! But no torturing my fiancé!" Elladan's face went blank, his eyes round as saucers. With that he fell back. Fainted. Wow! Was it really THAT big of a shock? Almost everyone knew how we felt! Was it any wonder? Legolas looked relived and I was sure I looked amused. I laughed. "Will he be ok?"

"I am sure he will be fine! However we shall not be if we do not leave before he wakes up!" I laughed. As much as Legolas said he wasn't scared of my brothers. The truth? He was scared shitless!

"Of course!" We decided to go out the window and wind our way through the town till we got to Faelwen's room.

"Faelwen! Open up!" The door swung open to reveal Faelwen he fists balled and a murderous gleam in her eyes.

"I HATE my brothers! I swear I will kill them!"

"Well…We made Elladan faint!" I laughed as her face lit up.

"What did you do? Threaten to strip in front of all of Lothlórien?"

"Much better!" Legolas replied. He was enjoying this WAY too much!

"I told him that Legolas and I were getting married!" Faelwen burst out laughing.

"I CANNOT believe he fell for that!" Legolas and I stared at each other. She thought we were joking? Faelwen realised we weren't laughing and immediately topped. "You mean…? You actually…? Oh my…! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!" she threw her arms around my neck, squeezing me so tight I thought I would burst.

"Legolas? What is she doing?"

"Hugging you"

"No shit Sherlock! But why is she hugging me so tight? And why do I get the feeling I just signed myself up for a WHOLE WORLD of pain?"

"The wedding should be in the gardens. I think Rivendell would be suitable. At sunset would be fantastic! And you looked amazing in that dress last night! Something like that!" Faelwen grabbed my hand, pulling me towards the door. She still hadn't taken a breath.

"Legolas! Help!" He just stood there laughing as I strained against my sisters' grip. "Faelwen? Can we PLEASE discuss this later? Like when the twins AREN'T trying to kill us?"

"Oh…Ok come with me! I know somewhere we can hide where they will NEVER find us!" We followed Faelwen through Lórien until we came to the woods. We followed a tiny trail, almost hidden by the leaf litter. We came to a huge tree. It was so I tall I couldn't see the top, even with my enhanced eyesight! "Up you go!" Faelwen laughed Jumping for the first branch. I swung up easily, though it was a little hard for Faelwen considering she was wearing a dress! Legolas had to help her with that.

We were a fair way up now. I could make out the splay of leaves at the top. Legolas helped Faelwen up then turned to me.

"I can get up myself thanks very much!" I laughed. I grabbed the next branch and attempted to haul myself up. My feet left the bottom branch as I struggled for a hold on the top. My fingers searched for a hold and found none. Luckily Legolas caught me. Otherwise I would have plummeted to my death! Could I die falling out of a tree? I sure as hell hope not! We were standing on a platform the size of my bedroom. There was a small kitchen, a large fluffy bed covered in pillows and a bathtub.

"Haldir made it for me! A home away from home. And an escape from the guards! No one knows about it except Hal, Galadriel and I. Now you know!" She was smiling a sad smile. "I'll bring up your bags! Then, I shall go and attempt to save Hal again! Goodbye!" With that she jumped from the platform. The somersaulted down. It was frightening to watch! She hit the ground at a run, disappearing into the forest. I turned around to see Legolas staring suspiciously at the bed.

"What is your problem?" I leant against him, watching him with interest.

"I am NOT sleeping in that bed!"

"Why?" It was a nice bed! What could he POSSIBLY have against it?

"Katie! Think about it! What did Faelwen say?" He was sounding more and more like me every day! I think I'm a bad influence!

"Well Faelwen said that Haldir built this place for her and… EWWWWWW! I'm not sleeping there either! THANK YOU for depriving me of a good night's sleep!" I started chasing him around the room, playfully slapping every time I got close enough. "I bored with this game. What's next?" Legolas laughed, tackling me onto the lounge.

"Katie, wake up!" I opened one eye just wide enough to make out my surroundings. Legolas and I were lying on the bed, my head against his chest. The moon was just starting to set.

"What time is it?"

"One in the morning" Why the hell did he wake me up at one? Was there something wrong with him?

"May I ask why?" I realised he was looking down at me. I cracked open an eye and peeped up him, giving him a cheesy grin.

"I thought you might like a bath and a decent breakfast before we left!" My eyes lit up at the sound of breakfast. Legolas laughed, pulling on his robe and getting out of bed. He walked over to the bath, setting fire to the coals before making his way to the kitchen. I stumbled out of bed, pulling my night gown off as I went. The bath water was warm and brilliant. I could have stayed in for hours! But the smell of the sausages soon got me out.

"Did I tell you I love you?" I laughed as I sat at the table. Legolas placed a plate down in front of me. It had two sausages, one egg and a tomato. It had been AGES since I had a hot breakfast! The sun was starting to rise, making the world look even more beautiful. I got dressed while Legolas cleaned up. What a perfect gentleman! This place was growing on, and not in a good way! I was starting to talk like Faelwen! Well, at least I didn't sound like Boromir!

Legolas and I walked into the dining hall. Everyone watched as we walked in hand in hand. Boromir noticed the light glinting off the ring Legolas had given me. It was a narrow silver band with intricate swirls carved into it. He could only gape at us.

"Is there a problem Boromir?" He was still gapping us. "Boromir! Didn't your mother teach you it was rude to stare?"

"Who…When?"

"Boromir, talk in coherent sentences and I will answer your questions!" He just looked up at before fainting. First Elladan, now Boromir! Would it be easier if I shouted it from the rooftops? At least then I could get them all in one go! Aragon rushed over and was doing his best to bring Boromir back. His eyelids fluttered open. He immediately looked towards me. I wiggled my ring up in the air for him to see. He fainted again and I had to quickly put my hand behind my back before Aragon busted me! Faelwen walked in, a rather frightened Hal attached to her arm and our brothers close behind shooting him daggers. Legolas sunk lower in his chair hopping they would be too busy ripping chunks out of Hal to notice him. Fat Chance! Elladan came and slung an arm over my shoulder and Elrohir sat next to Legolas. Oh boy!

"Hello sister!" Elrohir smiled sweetly, though the threat was only just masked. "May we borrow your...Legolas for a moment?" Legolas shuddered. His hand squeezed mine. Poor Legolas. My brothers had a reputation of being over protective. He had seen firsthand what they had done to Aragon, a hard and experienced warrior. Elrohir grabbed one arm and Elladan grabbed the other. I rose, swiftly pulling the longer of my blades from my shirt as I did so.

"Now, now boys! I am sure we can settle this without any bloodshed. Because I assure you, it will only be your blood." The sides of my knives pressed into their throats. I could hear them gulp. I will NEVER stop Faelwen from trying to kill them again! I only just realised how much fun it was! They released their hold on Legolas. He didn't look so ghostly pale anymore. Aragon came over to greet my brothers. I was amazed by him. No matter how much someone annoyed him, he always managed to be polite to them.

"My friends! How nice it is to see you again!" Aragon spoke fluent elvish. Sometimes it was just creepy!

"Or as I would put it 'What the hell are you doing here? Are you trying to ruin my life?" The twins laughed. Aragon tried to keep a straight face, but was failing miserably. Legolas was cautiously eyeing my brothers.

We were in a small room. Apparently this was where the meeting that I wasn't invited to was held. Lady Galadriel entered. She still looked scary, but now she looked happy. She was home. Surrounded by people she loves and who love her. She was giving everyone gifts. Legolas was in front of me, looking like a little boy on Christmas day. Galadriel gave him a beautifully crafted bow. His smile was breath taking. Pull yourself together Katie! Just because you're going to marry him does NOT give you the right to perve on him in a public place! Or did it? Galadriel stopped in front of me. Her expression was set into an amused smirk. It was almost as if she knew what I had been... Oh crap! Galadriel laughed.

"I think you have the right!" I blushed deep scarlet. "I do not understand you, though I have more insight than others! You do not feel the call of the ring, but why?"

"The ring holds nothing that I want!"That was the only thing I could think of. Everyone, even Aragon felt the pull of the ring. But not me. I did not want power or titles. Not money or treasure. All I wanted was a family. I wanted people who loved me. That was the awesome thing about being an elf. There were very few ways to die. You could hang onto people forever. I had death issues. There had already been far too much for my liking. Galadriel gave me two knives. Now, these weren't your average, everyday, normal knives! These were BEAUTIFUL! They handles were made of grey stone, with aqua-marines set in and swirling patters carved into them. The blade itself sparkled like a silver version of goldstone.

A/N you should be able to Google image goldstone. If you can't, it's a brown coloured rock that looks like it's full of glitter! It's awesome!

"Look after them and they will serve you well!" With that Galadriel walked to the next person. Legolas was gapping at my blades.

"Do you know what they are?"

"Yeah! Blades dumb, dumb!" Legolas raised an eyebrow. "No, but I'm sure you're going to tell me!"

"These are Lady Galadriel's blades!" Why had Galadriel given me her blades?

"You are special. I have the feeling they will be of great service to you. More service than they are to me." Her voice spoke in my mind, sending shivers down my back.

"Katie, are you ok?" Legolas cut through my thoughts. I removed the blades from my back and put them in my boot. The new blades felt weightless and comfortable. The blades were warm, not cold like the old ones were.

"There is no way in HELL I'm getting in one of those things!" I stood on the shore, my arms crossed over my body. Legolas was pleading with me to get in the boat. "Legolas! For the last time! I'm not getting in the boat!" I lowered my voice so Boromir wouldn't hear. He was already blackmailing me with the claustrophobic thing! "I can't swim!"

"Neither can the hobbits! I promise you, I will not let you drown!" Legolas held out his hand. I smiled, stepping into the boat. Boromir, who was in the one of the other boats, chucked an oar at me causing the whole boat to rock.

"BOROMIR!" I shrieked. Boromir chuckled and started paddling down the river. "Screw you!" I shouted after him.

"Katie, wake up" Legolas whispered in my ear. I opened my eyes and stared around. We were surrounded by forest. Nothing different form when I went to sleep! We were pulling up to the shore. The others went to set up camp, leaving Legolas and I alone. Legolas started pulling off his shirt, then his boots.

"What are you doing?"

"Giving you a swimming lesson!" Legolas dropped his pants and dived in. I think I was supposed to follow him!

"Please tell me you're joking!" Legolas grabbed my ankle and pulled me in. FREEZING! I was gonna kill him for this! "You could have at least waited till I got undressed!" I screamed, gripping his arm to stop myself from sinking.

"If I had waited till you were ready, we would still be here at midnight!" I took a big gulp of air and sunk beneath the surface. I went down as far as I could before stopping, waiting. I could just make out Legolas. He seemed to be panicking, searching for me. I snuck up behind him, wrapping my arms around him and pulling him under. We both rose. A mixture of shock and relief played across his face. "Do not EVER do that again!" I laughed as he wrapped his arms around me, his hand fiddling with the lose strands of my hair. His lips kissed from my hairline to my chin and back again. I wonder if Faelwen is watching. The thought made me shudder. I looked up into his soft, loving eyes.

"Please, don't do anything you don't want the WHOLE of Lothlórien to know about! Faelwen's watching, ALWAYS watching!" Legolas laughed. He pulled me under the water, kissing me passionately. We resurfaced minutes later gasping for air.

"I do not care what your sister tells them!"

Legolas ran back to camp. He had to come up with some ingenious excuse for where we had been, why I was still missing, and why I needed new clothes! And no! I forbid him from telling them the truth. Boromir would only make my life more of a living hell than he already did! Legolas rushed through the trees, my pack slung over one shoulder.

"What did you tell them?" Legolas sat the pack down beside me, grinning.

"I didn't! They were all too busy eating to notice me!"

I quickly changed and we hurried back to the campsite. By the time we got there the camp was empty and the sounds of battle filled the air. We rushed towards the sound. Aragon was fighting off hundreds Orcs single handledly. I took out Galadriel's knives.

"Hey ugly!" All Orcs in the vicinity turned towards me. Oh shit! I really HADN'T thought this through! Legolas took my back, shooting anything that got too close for his liking. I managed to get a few, but if any of them even looked at me the wrong way… BAM! Shot dead! It was sort of sweet and sort of annoying at the same time. Aragon was taking them down from behind. They were dropping like fly's! Really ugly, stinky fly's, but fly's all the same! A horn sounded through the forest. Aragon and Legolas exchanged a glance. All Orcs ran to the sound. I had to help. If the Orcs thought it was worth running for, it was worth getting there before them. I sprinted, ignoring the desperate calls of Legolas behind me. The hobbits were nowhere to be seen. My guess was they were the source of all this racket. Boromir was trying to defend Merry and Pippin. Where were Sam and Frodo? The lead Orc notched another arrow in his bow. Boromir already had one arrow in his chest and was still slashing Orcs left, right and centre! "BOROMIR!" The Orc turned to me, weapon raised. How did I get myself into these situations? Boromir raised his sword, decapitating the Orc. I ran to him. Someone grabbed me from behind. I struggled and kicked, but the hold was too strong. Crap! I was being kidnapped! "LEGOLAS!" I screamed. I was scared. I was being taken away from everyone I loved.

"Quiet!" My captor whispered harshly in my ear, hitting me over the head with the hilt of his sword.
