Author's note: It's been a long while, but I'm finally back at this. I lost the book I had that the plot of this whole story was written into, but I finally found it. I'm going to try to work on finishing out this story finally, which is planned to only have 20 to 21 chapters. It might just take me a little bit of time because I'm moving and going through life right now.

Thanks for those who have stuck around. I hope you enjoy.

P.S: I gave Evelyn a real life face claim which is Emily Rudd.

Swept Away By Destiny

Chapter 14: Change the Fates Design

"If all goes well, you will be able to save more than one innocent life tonight..." - Dumbledore

The next part of their travels brought them to the city of Lothlorien and that was were Evelyn and the others finally met Galadriel and her husband. The Elf Lady was definitely better looking in person that the sight of her took even Evelyn's breath away. When someone said a person was heavenly, she would always think of Galadriel.

"You already know what happens, don't you Guardian?" Galadriel's voice spoke inside her mind. The said Guardian looked up from the guys to notice her looking at her. Evelyn swallowed and nodded.

"Then you know what to do. Tell your friend." Evelyn looked to Frodo and then nodded to the lady in white. They were to meet her by her mirror of water at night. She had a message for them.

As everyone settled into camp, Evelyn noticed how tense Boromir was getting. Galadriel had gotten to him with the words she spoke to him, she knew it. And the ring's influence wasn't helping him either. The Guardian headed over to the dark haired man and patted him on the back to get his attention.

Boromir seemed to jump a little before a smile came to his face. "Evelyn, what is it?"

"You okay?"

His lips seemed to twitch a little nervously. "Y-Yeah, just tired I suppose. It will be good to get some proper rest before we continue on."

Evelyn just gave him a look saying she knew better. The two seemed to look at each other, not willing to give in before Boromir finally sighed, not being able to deny her pretty face. "Of course you know I'm lying about that." He chuckled. "I don't know what's wrong with me. I-I can't stop thinking about that ring and how much it can help my people. I know it sounds crazy, but it keeps calling out to me."

"Well, you're not wrong on that." Boromir looked to her with a raised brow. "I'm actually serious, the ring does speak and call out to people...even me."

He looked surprised. "What does the ring say to you?"

Evelyn sighed, sitting down as she hugged her knees. Her eyes looked into the fire he had started. "It taunts me, saying I can't win this battle and I won't be able to save everyone. It tells me how useless I am." She gave a dry chuckle before breaking down sobbing. "I hate to say it, but sometimes I think it's right. I-I don't even really know what I'm suppose to do as the Guardian. I think it means I'm suppose to help Frodo destroy the ring and save him from all the battle wounds he will experience in this journey, but how can I do that when I can't alter anything?" Boromir looked to her with sympathy. "If I happen to alter one little thing...the story might change in a way that I have no knowledge of and things could get bad."

"I think things are already bad." Boromir said, taking her cold hands into his warm ones. "You shouldn't be so hard on yourself, Evelyn. You'll figure out what you're suppose to do and if you have to, as you say, alter things to make it happen, I know you will find a way to come out strong. You have a strong will after all."

His words seemed to warm Evelyn's heart, taking away all the dark insecurities the ring put there. And then suddenly, as they both looked at each other in light and heat of the campfire, Boromir holding her hands in his, it was like they were the only two people in this universe. Everything going on around them didn't matter.

Boromir's grey eyes shined warmly looking into Evelyn's green ones and then they were unconsciously leaning in slowly towards each other. He looked rather handsome and far different from how he looked in the movies. Boromir had long dark hair that seemed to reach his shoulders, a little stubble on his face and those interesting grey eyes. He was muscular and smelled of herbs.

The closer she got to his face, the more she noticed details about him. Like his fair and noble face, definetly the face a warrior would have. And before she could process anything else, especially what she was doing, their lips seemed to touch each other. It was a light and warm kiss, as if messing with curiosity and testing boundaries, before it became a bit passionate. They put their arms around each other taking pleasure in the moment. Boromir held her close as Evelyn had her arms around his neck.

And then suddenly it all came to her like a reminder of a nightmare; his death would be happening soon, once they leave Lothlorien. Immediately, Evelyn stopped and broke from his hold, pushing herself out of his arms. Tears were beginning to come to her eyes as Boromir looked shocked, thinking maybe he did something wrong. "I-I'm sorry...I didn't mean..." He said before getting cut off.

"No, you did nothing wrong. It's just- I realized something and I was out of line. I'm the one that should be sorry." She quickly bowed to him before running off, needing to let out her emotions to herself.

"Evelyn!" Boromir shouted after her, debating if he should run after her.

In that moment the hobbits and other Fellowship members were making their way back to camp when they saw Evelyn run by them in a hurry, obviously in a bad state.

"Evelyn!" The Hobbits shouted before following after their friend.

Aragorn looked to Boromir. "What happened?"

Boromir hesitated before explaining to him. In the meantime Evelyn was running through the forest, yelling at herself mentally. "What was I thinking? Boromir is going to die soon and here I am going off, giving him a farewell kiss of death. Stupid! And not to mention he is 41 and I'm only 27! Total age difference, Evelyn."

The Hobbits were still hot on her trail running after her. They all met when Evelyn ended up coming to where Galadriel and her mirror were. The Elf lady turned around and smiled to greet them. "You all seem bothered, what's wrong?"

"Just a reminder of a nightmare yet to come." Evelyn managed to say despite breathing heavily.

"Then you know what you must do to prevent this nightmare from happening...don't you?" Galadriel hinted.

"You want me to save Boromir?" Evelyn caught on, but looked to her with furrowed brows. "But that means I would be altering things that are suppose to happen in a certain way. If that happens, then I won't know what is suppose to happen next."

"That's life, isn't it?" Galadriel said. "You never know whats going to happen next, but all you can do is make the best out of everything you've got."

Evelyn's eyes went wide. "So, you want me to alter things, but still try to bring it to the same outcome."

"You are the one who know's how this story is suppose to end after all."

Realization began to hit Evelyn as everything seemed to finally make sense, her whole destiny as the Guardian and the prophecy about it. She was seeing it wrong all along...then again, prophecy's were never really that clear.

"A woman from another world will appear in ours. She is said to help with the most dangerous task that threatens Middle Earth. Seeing into the future, she will help guide him with her strong will to the place it shall be destroyed and be a light. The woman does not know of the power she posses, but she has been chosen for the task for her heart is pure and her will, strong."

Evelyn let out a breath. "It wasn't speaking of Frodo, it was about Boromir all along." She looked up at the Lady in White, directly into her soul piercing eyes with a new found confidence. "The one I'm suppose to save is Boromir."

And that's exactly what she was going to do.

A/N: *Squeals* Okay, that came out better than I thought it would. I usually suck at writing romance scenes, but that right there was cute and genuine. Wow, I'm proud.

And now Evelyn has realized the Him that the prophecy was mentioning the whole time. It was Boromir. She is meant to save him and stop him from letting the ring be his downfall. Will she be successful?
