Hey everyone, sorry for not posting a new chapter in a few days. I've been a little blue about some bad reviews I got for this story. You see I want to become a writer and I am doing this story for fun and practice. I got bad reviews and I kind of questioned if I could actually be a writer, if I will be good enough. After a pep talk with my mom she taught me that not everyone will like my work but that doesn't me that I have to stop writing and I could still do a better job. So you guys I just want to say thank you again for taking the time to read my story I really appreciate it. You have no idea how much your reviews mean to me. So I hope that you like this new chapter and as you all know I don't own anything. So enjoy and please review!

As soon as Elrond announced that the meeting had concluded everyone went their own separate way but a few stayed behind. Legolas was one of them. Part of the fellowship where still there but I knew there was going to be some conflicts in me going with the fellowship. I could feel Legolas was behind me talking to Gandalf but I wasn't paying to much attention in what they were talking about. Just the feeling of Legolas being close was giving me goose bumps. No guy has ever given me goose bumps before, even if I have a crush on them.

Before I knew it Legolas had walked towards Elrond and asked him if they could speak in a private. Wonder what he wants to talk about. Maybe I should fallow them and find out. I totally love my ability to hear everything. I've cheated on many test with my hearing. My very brainy friend, who always sat next to me in math class would whisper the answers under her breath and I would be able to hear, loud and clear. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have gotten an A on my math final. I have freakishly good hearing. If I was born in Middle Earth I would totally be a elf.

Wait, Legolas and Elrond would probably hear me snooping around. I guess spying on them is out. As Elrond and Legolas were leaving Legolas turned around and looked right at me. Did he here me thinking or something? Okay stupid question. Why is he looking at me like that. I feel exposed when he just looks at me like that. I mean I've had guys look at me before but Legolas is different. His gace makes me feel so… I was snapped out of me thought by Pippin.

" Are you really coming with us?" Pippin asked. I looked back in the direction of Legolas was but he wasn't there anymore. I let of a frustrating sign and quickly turned to Pippin and smiled remembering he was there.

" Yes, yes I am."

" You wont last even an hour before you start crying to come back home." Gimli said, who unfortunately didn't leave like some of the others.

" Well, we will have to wait and see what happens, now wont we." I glared at the dwarf and turned towards Aragorn. " Aragorn, can I talk to you?"

" Of course." We soon left the others and went somewhere more private.

" Okay, I don't want to eat around the bush so am just going to ask you straight forward." I paused and took a deep breath. " I need you, to teach me how to fight."

" I was actually going to ask you if you wouldn't mind if a taught you how to fight." Aragorn said. I gave a sign of relief.

" Really? That is so great. I wasn't so sure if you would like to teach me."

" Of course I would mind teaching you. You need to know what to do if you are attacked. I don't think that anyone would like to see you get hurt."

" That's not the only reason I want to learn how to fight, Aragon. I want to be able to fight, to help anyone out with they need it. I don't want to be helpless. This is a big deal to me. I don't want anyone feeling like am burden because I wouldn't be able to fight and have to looked after." I looked at Aragon straight in the eye. " Do you understand what am trying to say?"

" Yes, I do. You don't have to worry about being a burden, Lady Aremi." Aragon said but the he got smiled. Wow that smile is kind of creepy looking. " Your training will start early tomorrow at 5 o'clock." Oh my god is he kidding.

" Aragorn, the sun isn't even up at that hour!"

" That does not mean you can't be up at 5 o'clock, now is it. You must understand, Milady, your training will be long and hard, it is not for my pleasure of seeing you being tortured by me." Pfft I find that hard to believe. " But it would only prepare you for what's to come. I want you to be prepared. You must be prepared. I will try to teach you everything I can. But in 2 conditions." I knew there was a catch.

" What to conditions?"

" One you must listen to everything I tell you, and you must obey."

" Everything?" I don't think I like this.

" Yes, everything. Two you must try to get along with Gimli."

" What? But he starts all of our fights. Its not my fault that he is such a pigged head egoistic moron …" I was silence by a glare from Aragorn. " Fine. I will try to get along with Gimli but I wont make any promises. As for listing to everything you say, its okay."

" Glad to hear it , Milady" I punched Aragorn in the arm.

" What was that for?" Aragorn grabbed his shoulder.

" That was for calling me Milady, again and for making try to get along with Gimli." I smiled innocently at him.

" Well, at least now I know that you are strong." He rubbed his shoulder.

" You thought I was weak?" I glared at him. He didn't have time to answer because I heard footsteps approaching. " Someone is coming." In a matter if seconds Alis appeared.

" Hi Alis." I waved at her.

" Hello" Alis bowed.

" Alis please don't bow. I would like you to meet a friend of mine." I reached out for Aragorn. " This is Aragorn." I pointed at him. " Aragorn this is my new friend, Alis."

" Hello Milady." Aragon bowed a little. I guess Middle Earth is a lot with the bowing.

" Hello Milord." Alis bowed again. " The reason I came here was because Lord Elrond wishes to speak to the both of you in his study."

I turned to Aragon. " What do you think he what's?"

" Milady that's impolite." Aragon said.

" Fine whatever. Lets go then." We were soon of to Elrond's study. In a matter of 2 minutes we were in front of Elrond's study doors. Alis knocked at stepped in. I could here her say that we were here already. Then she came out.

" They are expecting you." Just like that she left. What did she mean by 'they'?

Aragon was the first to enter then it was me. Elrond wasn't the only one in the study. Legolas was there as well. I tried to ignore his presences and try and focus at Elrond only.

" You wanted to speak with us?" I tried to grab my necklace but all I grabbed was the fabric of my dress. For a minute I thought I lost my necklace but then I remember is was tucked it. I didn't want to take it out because Legolas might see it and find out of who I am. So I just settled for grabbing the fabric of my dress.

" Yes, there are some who feel that you shouldn't join the fellowship." Elrond walked up in front of his desk. Legolas was in front of the desk as well.

" Oh, why is that?" I asked coolly.

" They believe if you go in this quest you would be in much danger." Elrond eyed Legolas.

" That's ridicules of course I would be in danger but that doesn't mean am no more different from them. They as well be in danger." I cant believe this crap. Its so obvious why they don't want me to go.

" I agree with you completely." Elrond said.

" Who said that they didn't want me to go?"

" I did." Legolas stepped forward. He looked so calm and collected. " I do not wish for you to go. There are others that feel the same way." He looked straight into my eyes. For the first time I wasn't going to be lost in those eyes. I need to think right. Oh okay just look at them a little but not so much.

" Why don't you want me to go?" I asked him

" I fear that you would get hurt." My heart just gave back flip. He was still looking at me. Damn couldn't he look at the floor when he spoke to me.

" It's the same reason with the whole fellowship. Everyone runs the risk of getting hurt. What makes me any different?" I got the courage to look at his eyes for a moment. " I think the only reason you don't want to go is because am a woman."

" Its is not all because you're a woman." Legolas defended himself.

" Fine what's the other reasons." Am getting more mad by the second.

" I wish no to name them." Legolas finally stopped looking at me and looked at a deferent direction. This is bullshit.

" No there is no other reasons its pretty clear to me, that you and others don't want me to come along because I don't have a penis!" That earned some gasps.

" Milady, please come along." Aragorn tried to drag me out of the room.

" Aragon please we need to finish this." Aragorn let me go. " Lady Aremi please choose you word carefully." Everyone looked so uncomfortable.

" Okay sorry but that's how I feel." I looked at Legolas who looked totally shocked at what I had just said.

" Milady, I did not call for you come here and start a quarrel. The reason I called for you is to show him the real reason that you must go. I've notice that you are hiding it." Elrond pointed at his own collar.

" But why do I have to show them, its just not fair that they.." Aragorn interrupted me.

" Aremi you must show them, it's the only way." Aragorn was upset with me. I think its pretty obvious because he never just calls me by my name.

" Fine." I took out my necklace and walked up to Legolas. " This is the reason why I must go." I held up my necklace for him to see.

He seemed so shocked to see the necklace. But he quickly turned to look at me. I didn't realize how close I had gotten to him until now. He was taller than me, my head only reached up to his nose.

Legolas was looking at. He seemed to be confused but delighted to see me. I could see his eyes looking back at me. It looked like he was taking me all in, like he wanted to remember me or something. He lifted his hand to touch me face but I back away.

" I believe everything is settled then." Elrond said. I was still looking back at Legolas and he was doing the same. He looked a little hurt that I had pulled away but I didn't want him to touch me. It was a lot of feelings that went through me when he looked at me. I didn't know how many feelings he would bring me when he touched me.

I finally had the courage to turn away from his gaze. I turned towards Aragorn and Elrond.

" I think I will go now." As soon as I said that I walked as fast as I could out of the room.

I was walking down the hall in the direction of my room when I heard soft running footsteps behind me.

" Milady!" I knew right away that wasn't Aragorn. That voice was softer than Aragorn's. I turned around and came face to face with Legolas.
