Until The Sun Rises Up



Legolas dodged the attack from Jinkens easily. He side-stepped and brought his knife down onto the back of Jinkens. He did not wish to kill an elder elf, but he did it for the protection of Erin and Arwen. Jinkens cried out and whirled around, bringing his staff to Legolas' stomach. Legolas doubled over, but rose quickly. He kicked at Jinkens and hit the elf hard in the side. Jinkens growled and launched himself onto Legolas.

"You will die by my hand Prince of Mirkwood!" Jinkens yelled madly.

Legolas tried as hard as he could, but Jinkens was on his back. The mad old elf began choking him.

"Legolas!!" Erin's cry rang out.

Legolas felt his mind clouding as he was being choked to death. He struggled for breath and did not receive any. He fell to his knees, Jinkens still choking him. Finally, Legolas fell limp to the ground.

Jinkens laugh was echoed throughout the forest. He whipped towards Erin, who was being guarded by Gimli. Jinkens knocked Gimli to the side, and Erin's fist slammed into his face. He groaned, but did not fall.

"You are not a warrior my dear Princess." He snapped, and grabbed her arm.

Erin held back but failed. She could not help but gaze at the lifeless body of her love, Legolas. She then noticed he was breathing. And rising. She pulled against Jinkens suddenly, and her momentum slammed him into a tree. Legolas sprung up and drew his bow. He armed it with three arrows at once and shot at Jinkens.

The old elf never had chance. He was facing Legolas, who was the Elven Archer. Jinkens fell hard to the ground, the three arrows tearing into him. They all knew that Jinkens was dead when his neck snapped from head on contact to the ground.

"Legolas..." Erin ran to him.

Legolas grabbed her up and twirled her around. She so happy that he was alive.

"Oh my gosh! I thought I lost you!" She cried into his shoulder.

"I would never leave you at a time like this. I would never leave you at any time in fact." Legolas ran a hand through her soft, brown hair.

"Aragorn!" Came a screech.

The fellowship looked up as Arwen threw herself to Aragorn. He pulled her into a tight embrace. The couple kissed and then Arwen turned to Legolas.

"Thankyou Legolas, for sacrificing yourself to save me." She whispered.

"You are very welcome." Legolas turned from her to Erin, "Are you ok?"

"Yes." She answered honestly.

"We should be going. I do not wish to stay in this part of the woods." Frodo stood.

"On we go then." Aragorn began leading the way.

The night held sounds that always made Arwen, Legolas, and Erin snap their heads up. They knew very well that they were soon going to face Mendacole in a war. Aragorn was only hoping that they would reach a place where they would have an advantage in the war.

Soon they came across an abondoned village. They decided to seperate into the various buildings. Gimli and the four hobbits stayed in one manor. Aragorn and Arwen slept in another. And that left Legolas and Erin with a manor of their own on the other side of the village.

Erin slipped into the bubble bath gently and closed her eyes. She let the warmth take her over and felt total relaxation. She knew that Legolas, being the gentlman that he was, was in the room not invading her privacy. After a few minutes in the tub, she rose and pulled on a robe she had found.

She exited the bathroom and saw Legolas laying across the bed, obviously writing a letter to her father, Elrond.

"Did you write him about the following army and Jinkens?" She whispered.

Legolas nodded, clearly wrapped up in his thoughts. Erin took note of this and decided to walk around the manor. She came across a beautiful room that glittered with gold and silver walls.

She sat near the window and gazed out. There was a marvelous garden outside and she knew that it did not need anyone to help it grow. This place lived without people.

"One day, this will all be over. I promise." Sounded Legolas behind her.

"I know. I believe the words you say. I just wonder..." Erin leaned against the wall.

"What do you wonder my Princess?" Legolas neared her.

"Will it all be over? Will this even be real? Am I dreaming??" Erin closed her eyes and then opened them, "I could not stand this all being a dream."

"Nay, you are not dreaming. My heart beats with real feelings, and I do not see this all being a dream. You are the Daughter of Elves, the Princess. And in some future day, you will be my Queen of Mirkwood." Legolas took hold of her hand.

"Q-Queen?" Her voice cracked.

"Yes. I will marry you someday Princess Erin. We have already staked our claims on eachother..." Legolas whispered.

"Legolas..." Erin pulled away and looked at him, "Make this claim real."

Legolas studied her with confused eyes, and then he saw the meaning behind this statement. He gathered her into his arms and carried her to the room they were staying in. He laid her gently on the bed and untied the robe.

(It gets graphic, but I suck at writing these type of scenes, so just read on remembering that, or skip it!! But I'm sure you all know what happens!!)



"Are you sure?" He asked her gently.

Erin nodded. Legolas pulled the robe from her and gazed over her body. She was so beautiful. He tugged at his own clothes and soon was in the same state as her. He leaned down and placed a kiss on her nose. He placed kisses al over her body and she shook with the need of him.

He prepared himself and then stared down at her, "Are you ready? I do not wish to hurt you my lady. But this will hurt..."

"I know you'll make the pain go away Legolas...I know you will." Erin said softly.

She bit her lip. Legolas positioned himself before her and drew in a breath. He was deciding whether to do this slowly or quickly. He choose slowly, wanting this to be romantic and not quick. He wanted to show her how much his love for her was.

He slowly entered her and felt her tense up. It was now or never when he would break the veil of her innocence. He took a breath and moved further in. She let out a cry and tears appeared in her eyes.

"Do not cry my Princess.." He kissed away her tears.

"Legolas..." She let out a strangled cry.

"The pain will go away. Trust me, my beauty." Legolas put his forehead to hers.

Erin placed her hands at the top of his back and scraped them down his back gently. Legolas slowly got into a rhythm and Erin met him every time. Their bodies melted into one and Erin kissed his shoulder as he burried his face in her neck.



Erin woke up in Legolas' arms and smiled, remembering the events of the night before. Legolas smiled down at her and she giggled. He kissed her tenderly.

"I love you Princess Erinia of Rivendell." He murmured.

"And I love you Prince Legolas Greenleaf of Mirkwood." Erin returned in the same tone.

"We should rise. There is much traveling to be done. Mendacole is quick behind us." Legolas rose.

Erin sighed, "Yes."

Together they met the others in the town square. The group set off towards a nearby forest.

"He is near." Erin stopped in her tracks.

"Who??" Aragorn turned and stared at her.

"Mendacole. I can feel it also." Arwen answered before Erin.

"We must keep going..." Sam sounded.

"There is no time. We have to fight Sam." Frodo mumbled.

"Fight?" Echoed Pippin and Merry.

Legolas jumped into a nearby tree and scanned the fields ahead.

"Mendacole's army is there." He said regretfully.

"He wants to fight. So, we fight." Erin said coldly.

Legolas lept down and dug into their supplies. He made sure everyone was armed, including his dear Erin.

"We will come out of this together, understand me?" Legolas brushed hair from her cheek.

"Yes." She choked out.

"Remember I love you." He whispered and kissed her.

"I love you." She mumbled against his lips.
