A Life Worth Living.....

Chapter 3

Hey everyone!!! I know, I know, took me long enough. I'm still working on that. I'm sorry that it takes me so long to update, but I just want to have a clear picture in my head of how I want the next part of my stories to go. But I just wanted to say thanks to most of you that have reviewed so far, and hopefully I'll have Chapter 4 up and going some time soon!!

*******

Lisseyelen aka Lady V: Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for your suggestions! I'm going to go over this story again, and take out a few things, and maybe change some things around! I promise you that I will add some scenes showing that Thranduil is a good father! I'm really sorry you didn't like my story as much as I would've liked you to, but I'm glad that you said it was a good story. Oh, and just to let you know, English IS my native language. I'm just a 14yr old American girl who obviously has really bad grammar!

Padfoot4ever: Brynn, thanks a lot for stickin with me, reviewing all my updates, and giving me your input! See you in school!

Legolas_gurl: It's good to know that to some people I have a great mind!!!! I hope your sanity is still intact, I've just trying to get an idea on what this chapter was going to be about! Oh, and your welcome!

Anonymous: Thank you for the info on the elf/human years controversy!! It helped me understand more, plus it'll be a great reference for the future! Thanks again!

Theresa: I'm glad you like my writing style! Since a lot of ideas and themes have been taken, and people keep repeating the same ones over and over, I try to make them different, not a whole lot different, but just enough to make it interesting. Thank you so much for reviewing! Hope to hear from you in the future!

Deana: I know, I know! Poor Legolas! He's my favorite character, along with Arwen, and Aragorn, and I totally shock myself because I would have never thought I would be writing a fic where he gets abused! I'm glad you like it!!!!

Me (anonymous): You want more?? Well here's more!!! And more is soon to come! (Hopefully!) I'm delighted that you love it!!

Alina11 (signed) & Yo (anonymous): I'm glad I updated to! Again, I'm sorry that it takes me so long! I feel bad everyday that I don't! After this chapter, I'm not even sure where this is going to go, so if you want, you can always give some ideas! I'm always in need of ideas! I hope you enjoy it!!!!

Elven Ranger13: I'm happy that you don't think this is stupid! I guess sometimes when you write something, you don't know what to say about it until some one reads it! Thanks a bunch!!!!

Rve (anonymous): I'm glad you like this! Thanks for your review!! And thanks for saying please!!!! It's good to know there are some polite people out there! LoL! Please keep reviewing!!!!

All right......I'm sorry that I couldn't say thanks to everyone individually! Please forgive me! I'm thankful for EVERYONE's reviews, good or bad! Oh ya...I've said it once, and I've said it probably a million times, if you want to, give me some input on how you think the story could go! That way I'd have my own ideas, mixed with yours and the chapters would be even better! It'd help me update faster too! But if ya'll don't want to, you don't have to! Thanks again!

We were up and moving early the next morning, and even though Aragorn slept most of the night, his face showed signs of weariness.

"Aragorn, what is troubling you?" I asked as I put out the last of the dying ashes of our fire.

"Oh, um, nothing Legolas, it"s nothing," he said, smoking his pipe.



"Aragorn, you are a horrible liar," I told him.

"Legolas, I...oh fine, I'm obviously not going to persuade you other wise."

"Well, what's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing is wrong at the moment, my friend, but last night I had a very disturbing dream," he sighed.

"Oh? Is that all?" I laughed, "You were starting to worry me." But Aragorn just bowed his head, and leaned against a tree.

"It was strange. You and I are walking through a forest, or something of that sort. It is a clear day, no clouds in sight, the birds are singing, and all is peaceful. Then all of a sudden, you're gone, and I see a wolf pounce upon a stag. But the stag escapes, running deeper into the woods, and I watch until I cannot see it any longer. Then you are at my side once more, not saying a word. Time passes, months, maybe years, I'm not sure; you disappear again, and I see the same wolf, but there's something different about it. It's not so large as it once was, and is sickly looking. Then the stag appears, stronger and healthy as ever, but instead of killing the stag, the wolf bows down, and looks up at the stag, as if asking it something. Before the stag can do anything, the wolf dies, and the forest grows dark, and you appear once more. Then the forest is light again, but isnÆt coming from the sun, it comes from you," he said, shaking his head, "I have had this dream before, and I think I may have an idea on what it means. Legolas, I think you are the wolf, and you're in danger. I think this because every time the wolf appeared, you disappeared."

"But did you not also realize every time I disappeared, the stag reappeared? Aragorn, I am not the wolf in this dream, I am the stag." I told him. He gave me a look of confusion, clearly not understanding how I knew this. "I have had the same dream, and it is all clear to me now. Aragorn, the wolf," I hesitated, "the wolf is my father."

"Then that means..." he said, realizing what I had known for a couple days.

"Yes Aragorn, my father is in trouble," I said, the words stinging my very soul. I then swung my leg up over the back of my horse and rode as fast as I could towards the rising sun.

A/N: I KNOW I KNOW!!! ItÆs too short!! IÆm SORRY!! Please forgive me! The next chapter will be longer! But review this chapter anyways! Did the whole dream thing make sense to you people? If you donÆt get what itÆs supposed to represent you can ask. Review! Please?
