It felt colder then an iceburg walking up the mountain. Everynight before dark they'd make camp an Sam would make them hot tea. Lily thought it was swweet that everynight Areaon would bring her a cup. Though many found it strange that with every passing night Lily seemed to gravitate more to Areaon. An even more strange she started to ignore the hobbits.
When Frodo had fell an Boromir found the necklace on the snow Lily had paid little attention to him. On the next night they made camp Lily sat with Aereaon sharing a blanket drinking the tea he made.
Aragorn and Legolas stood together observing the pair.
"Aragorn I don't trust him."
"I know mellon as of late I myself have doughts of his intention."
When Areaon put him arm around Lily's shoulders Legolas stiffened releasing a small growl, but stopped when he watched Lily cuddle closer wrapping her arms around him.
"Legolas I worry dark magic is at work."
Legolas turned away unable to look at the pair anymore. "No magic Aragorn just Lily choosing what her heart wants."
Aragorn placed a hand on the elf's shoulder." Her heart choose you my friend I've seen it."
"I care not Aragorn she is human an will die. I'll not weaken to someone who is destined to die." He walked away.
Aragorn looked after his friend before looking toward Lily. Something just wasn't right? Lily didn't act like Lily.
Meanwhile Aereaon was enjoying the warmth of the woman at his side. He had just given her another dose of the potion. He was liking the results. She was starting to bend to his will. He had tested it byt seperating her from her precious hobbits. He almost had full control. If only he could get that damn elf to leave her alone. Tomorrow he'll give her a bigger dose an then she'll have no choice but to push away the elf. But for tonight he'd sleep patiently waiting.
The next morning everyone awoke to the wind picking up. After breaking down camp they started on the trail again. They walked for an hour before the snow became to deep for the hobbits. Boromir carred Marry and Pippin as Aragorn carried Sam and Frodo. Aereaon walked infront of Lily clearing a path for her. Gimli following behind. Legolas walked on the snow. Lily had a strange feeling of De Javu but no matter how she tried something kept her from remembering.
Legolas stepped forward his elf ears hearing something. "There is a fell voice on the air."
"It's Saurmon!" As rock fell everyone pulled back.
Aragorn looked up. "He's trying to bring diwn the mountain! Gandalf! We must turn back."
"No!" He steps to the edge. "Losto Caradhras, sedho, hodo, nuitho, i 'ruith"
Everyone jumped as lightning struck the top dislodging an acalanche of snow. Legolas pushed Gandalf back but didn't move. Unknown of her action Lily jimped forward grabbing him arm. As the snow fell on them Legolas turned and wrapped himself around Lily as she screamed. The sound of her fear cutting into his heart.
Once everything quited down Legolas dug himself and Lily out to see everyone had dug themselves out.
Boromir spoke up. "We must get off the mountain! Make for the Gap or Rohan an take the west road to my city."
Aragorn shoke his head. " The Gap of Rohan takes us to close to Isenguard.!"
Gimli finally fully dug himself out. "If we cannot pass over a mountain, let us go under it! Let us go through the Mines of Moria."
Lily saw Gandalf looked distant. But her attention quickly turned to Aereaon as if called. When he gestered her to come to him she had no choice. She felt her body compelled leaving Legolas's arms an walked to Aereaon who wrapped him arm around her.
"We will go through the mines."
"So be it."
They turned and started to make their way back down the mountain. An as usual Aereaon got Lily hot tea/ More and more she felt distant from everyone but no matter how she fought it she could not take the control back. She was so scared an there was no way to tell anyone. Even her eyes and body language did what he told her. If was breaking her heart to see he made her push away her hobbits. How she have ignored them and hurt them. But it killed her that he never let her talk with Aragorn her uncle and he kept a constant eye to make sure she never got to close to Legolas.
On thier last night on th emoutain Aereaon gave her a bigger dose. He remembered Saruman had sadit not to give her to much but what was the harm. She'd do whatever he told her/
So that morning when they were set to leave he tested it. He held Lily making it look intimate but he whisperd. "Now my dear is the time to get rid of the elf. You are to sever any ties with him. He is nothing to you but a pest."
Lily's eyes glazed over. "Yes."
Areaon smiled." Perfect... Now to sample what I will adventually ravish." His eyes drifted to her lips.
Frodo seeing the two sensed something was wrong. Expecially when Lily's eyes glazed over. He ran put an found Legolas an Aragorn who turned to him.
"What's wrong Frodo?"
"Lily! Aereaon! Somethings wrong Aragorn!"
Before he could finish Legolas an Aragorn rushed back to camp.
Lily was screaming inside. What the hell was happening? He told her to stay away from Legolas an she said yes. Why? Everytime she wanted to disobey him she felt compelled not to. Then it hit her. God she was so stupid. The tea he made sure she always drank.
"Now to samplewhat I will adventually ravish." Red flag shot off him her head. As he leaned closer she thought of everything she learned from being a police officer an a firefighter. Nothing from her past would help her overcome this control. His lips tooks hers in a seraing kiss. Lily wanted to bite and scream and push him away anything but she found he held her wrists up beside her head trapping her. As he pushed her flush agaisnt the wall deepenign the kiss Lily heard a feral growl that excited her and Aereaon was yaked away from her.
Lily saw Legolas stood one of his knives pressed agaisnt Aereaon's throat as Aragorn came to her side.
"Lily You okay?"
"I'm fine."
Legolas growled. " Fine? He tried to take advantafe of you."
Aereaon shoke him head. " No I was not. I have just cause to kiss my Lily."
Legolas pressed the blade closer. "She's not your Lily!"
Aereaon Lily felt compelled to do what he said she tried to fight it but she felt herself walk over pushing Legolas away. "He's right."
Aereaon put an arm around her shoulder. "See." He leaned down kissing her ear whispering from only her to hear. "Now push him away. Hurt him deeply. Scare his soul."
'No' her mind screamed but nothing came from he rlips. Her heart was breaking she didn't want to hurt Legolas but she had no control She was a puppet an Aereaon was pulling the strings. She was only able to control one things her tears. One fell as she opened her mouth.
"Why don't you just back of Legolas. Just because I was friendly with you in Rivendell does not make us friends. How can I be friends with an elf." She saw the hurt in his eyes. Come on Lily try to so something. She fought as the puppet spoke again." An elf prince at that someone who was handed everything. You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth an you deserve no one. Heck even Tauriel saw that. No matter how you tried to win her effection she wanted nothing to do with you. She choose a dwarf. You are pathetic just like you father your family is cursed to never have love. So go ahead an pine fore it it is something you'll never have.. Why would I want an elf who thinks them above others when I could have a real man..."
'Lily do something... NOW!' She felt herself a moment an spoke one thing to would give Legolas hope. "You need another soda!"
As Legolas's head jerked up Aereaon lead Lily out. Aragorn placed a hand on Legolas's shoulder. "She didn't mean that."
Legolas smirked. "She's fighting it."
"What?"
"She said I needed another soda. Aragorn on the night I found her on the Plataeu she shared a drink from her world with me. We toasted to new friends. Her reminding me tells me she is still in there."
Aragorn nodded ." What must fins out how he is controlling her."
Legolas looked at the way Lily left. "If he causes her harm I am going to kill him."
"He's controlling my niece I want to kill him now." They left after the others talking quietly on trying to figure out what to do next.
