Distant Voices
A/N: Hullo. I figured something out. If I am going to make it Legolas/Frodo, I need to know NOW. BEFORE I get to a certain part. Otherwise it won't work. I'm sorry, but I think this chapter is going to be VERY short. I have to clean my room and do some homework. -_- And there will be a semi-F/L moment here, but every party needs a pooper. That's why I invited Stef to read this! She'll kill me when she sees me again, but Stef, just to let you know, I high-fived the coke guy from the olympics carry the torch thingie... We were outside for hours, and there was like three feet of snow AFTER it was plowed. ,
Please R/R! I know I'm supposed to get out the chapters sooner and make them longer, but it's kind of hard if I feel that people aren't reading it!

The water was clear and cold. It swirled around her as if taunting her. She was being pulled down. She didn't know how to swim. Her lungs ached for air. Her eyes stung as she struggled to see. The water suddenly became unforgiving, rushing at her from all sides. She was tossed around like a rag doll.
The rocks along the river were large and slippery. As her head struck one of them, and a sharp pain shot through her entire body, she was finally able to see. As the flailing of her arms died down, and the breath she had been holding released, she could see red clouding the blue water.
Her mouth filled with the water and she choked, feeling as if she would explode if she did not get some air. The last thing she saw before she died, was red mixing in the water near her head. The red was her blood.

Frodo sat up, gasping loudly. She coughed a few times, making sure she could breath, then looked around her. Most of the company had gone to bed, each one snoring lightly. With a relieved sigh, Frodo realized it was just a dream.
"But the pain was so real..." she whispered.
"What pain?"
Frodo yelped as she heard Legolas' voice. She whipped around to see him standing a few feet away, staring at her.
"Is something wrong Frodo?" Legolas asked.
He was a bit concerned, as he watched her eyes suddenly changed. No longer confused, but terrified. Her entire body shook.
"N-nothing L-Legolas..." She stammered.
He strode over quickly, his feet moving on the air, until he was right at her side. She flushed, wishing she had brushed her hair, or cleaned her face. He was inches away from her. She could feel his body heat and his light. She dare not look into his eyes, knowing if she did, she would be lost in them forever.
"Frodo, you do not need to hide your feelings."
"It is nothing Legolas...I..."
She found herself looking up slowly, moving against her will. She kept telling herself to stop, to look away, to run, anything but look into...
His eyes connected with hers. She froze. She began to tremble more. He smiled at her. She stared back, mouth open slightly as she tried to form words, but she was having a hard enough time forming coherent thoughts.
"I finished scouting the area. I didn't see anyth-"
The spell broke and Frodo looked up at Aragron, who had just come around the corner. Her heartbeat accelerated until she thought it was going to jump out of her chest and run away.
There was an uncomfortable silence. The moon hid behind the clouds and the stars seemed to dim. It was as if they were trying to hide.
"Are you alright Frodo?" Aragorn asked.
Frodo managed a weak nod, but there were still no words.
"What happened?"
She swallowed nervously, then smiled slightly at the concern, though her smile was faked.
"It was just a bothersome dream... Do not trouble yourselves with it."
Aragorn came over to them, smiling at Frodo.
"Sam did not lie when he spoke of your eyes Frodo. They betray the masks of emotion you use when scared or upset."
"I know not of what you speak," Frodo claimed, averting her gaze.
"Of course you do not. You do not see what those around you see," Legolas said.
"I am feeling tired... Good night."
Frodo turned around and laid back down before either of them could argue.
She didn't move for the rest of the night.
