Blood thirsty: Second chapter, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REVIEWING! I am happy someone is reading it… and you'll be happy to know I've decided to feed my muse, though now he's finding more things to complain about.
Legolas: * walks in from the kitchen with a turkey leg * yes, I have. I am a lone muse. I need some one to talk to… or maybe a hobby. Can I have my bow and arrows back?
Blood thirsty: uh… no. Until you prove to me you won't talk and conspire with them, then your not getting them back.
Legolas: Then what about your spelling error… hmm? Rivendell! Not dale, dell. And you call yourself a stalker.
Blood thirsty: I am not a stalker. You're my muse, why would I want to stalk you? Now get back to work.
Legolas: * mumbles and goes back to the kitchen *
Blood thirsty: Thanks amy! That one review kept me going!
Ever since Aragorn and Legolas had made it back safely without the "gollum elf"as Legolas had said it; the elf was much more relaxed. The fellowship began to talk, and soon all was forgotten about the elven prince's stalker. They began to jest and joke about old times. All of them avoided the topics of Boromir and Bilbo.
"… then Frodo walks in, along with the Gaffer, and Pip and Merry just run away leaving me to feel his wrath! Luckily Frodo was there to help." Sam Gamgee finished, glaring at the two sniggering hobbits. Gandalf could not suppress his laughter. Soon they were all laughing merrily as though their past experiences where nothing but some sort of joke. There re-aquantince was soon over as Elrond the half-elf walked in. A small smiled gently played across his lips.
" I take it you're all happy to see eachother again?" The elder inquired. The all nodded. "then follow me, and let the feast begin." He said, almost laughing as he saw the looks on the hobbits' faces. Soon they were all silent, aside from the sound of munching. The feast was well prepared, and after a while, Legolas felt as though he was going to burst.
" Do you mind if I go to the forest? I would much like to see some of the trees here in Rivendell again." He asked Elrond. Elrond nodded, smiling to himself yet again. He was very happy for his daughter, but he wouldn't have minded a son like Legolas. Legolas smiled in thanks, and walked away from the table. Gimli soon followed.
It had been about 3 months since they had arrived at Rivendell, and spring was upon them. Gimli and Legolas still had their comical jests, which amused anyone who watched. Legolas soon made a habit of visiting the woods of Rivendell. He was surprised when Gimli went with him, which now was more often than none.
" Wait for a moment, allow me some time to catch up!" A gruff voice called to him. Legolas looked behind him, and grinned. Gimli was soon beside him, and they both walked into the cover of the trees. They were silent for a long while, until Legolas perked his head up.
" It's going to rain. I can smell it." He stated matter-of-factly. Gimli sniffed the air, and nodded.
" At least we are in the cover of the forest." Gimli said, trying to be an optimist, which he wasn't very good at. Legolas had a grim look on his face. Sure enough, when the rain did come, the trees provided little protection from the spring rain. Gimli made a grunt of unsatisfaction, and received a smirk from his elven friend.
" What do you smile at, elf?" Gimli demanded, already knowing that glint in those blue depths meant trouble. Legolas' answer was a handful of mud thrown at the suspicious dwarf. Gimli blinked, wiped away the mud from his face, and retaliated with a fistful of saturated soil.
Aragorn smiled. He sat contently in the trees, Arwen held in his arms. She sighed. Normally she didn't like the rain, but being with Aragorn made it all the better. He shifted her so he could see her face. A playful smile played across his features.
" Why do you sigh? Bored of me already?" He jested. She smirked back, mischief playing in her eyes.
" With you? Of course. What's not to be bored of?" She retorted. She knew what his answer would be. He leaned in closer. As did she. Their lips would of met had she not cried out and fallen out of his grip from surprise. Aragorn panicked and jumped down. At first he was worried, then he grinned. The side of her face was covered with mud. She looked more angry then surprised. Fast approaching foot steps got both of their attention. Another sailing batch of mud nearly hit Aragorn. He stepped out of the way, rendering Arwen open for the attack. It hit her square in the throat.
" You missed again Elf! Your aim is getting worse!" Came the triumphant sound of Gimli.
" Only because of the rain and mud clouding my vision!" Retorted a pride-bruised elf. Gimli looked ahead of him, and nearly crashed into Aragorn. Unfortunately, Legolas was running too fast, and didn't see the two. He tried to stop, and would have succeeded, had it not been for the lack of grip and friction. He went sailing into Gimli, who crashed against Aragorn, who fell into the mud. Unfortunately, also crushing the mud stained elf. Gimli elbowed Legolas in the gut, which caught him off guard, sending him across the mud, slipping and sliding. Gimli had just gotten up, and Arwen was nearly out from under Aragorn, when history repeated itself, and Legolas tackled Gimli. The two were wrestling eachother, until Arwen let out a battle cry. They were all covered in mud. Legolas and Gimli looked at the enraged elf, and the look of pure anger and contempt remind Legolas of an orc. She stood there, shaking with rage. Gimli looked bewildered, but Legolas soon added 2 and 2. Arwen. Aragorn. Alone. In the woods. ' crap' he thought.
" Please! Beg your pardon! Me and Gimli were… uh, just leaving." He said. With that, he put on a cheesy smile, grabbed the dwarf, and took off like a bat outta hell. Gimli was still confused, but didn't object to being taken away from the evil creature that had taken over Arwen.
Aragorn looked at Arwen. The look on her face even frightened him.
" Please," He pleaded, hoping to wipe the look of absolute rage on her face away." They were merely playing around." Her look soon became that of an imp, and she stepped forward. He smiled their faces were mere inches apart. He closed his eyes. But instead of her lips, he felt a cold, slimy substance on his face being smeared around. He opened his eyes, annoyance clear in them.
"What?" She asked innocently." I was merely playing." She said, satisfaction oozing from her voice. She smiled at the look of disappointment in the ranger's face. Again, she leaned in, this time, without mud in her hands.
"Well, that was quite… embarrassing." Stated the fair-haired elf. Gimli still looked baffled, and Legolas shook his head in despair. He picked up another handful of muck, and hurled it at a bush. Amazingly enough, it responded with a feminine sort of 'mmhp!' Gimli and Legolas stared at the bush for a few moments, and edged closer. The elf pulled a few branches aside and nearly screamed at what he saw.
" For a soon-to-be-king, you can be highly immature." Stated the nameless elf maiden. Gimli looked confused, and Legolas looked absolutely horrified. He let out a strangled "Elf Gollum!" And fled.
The maiden pushed her way past the stunned dwarf, and sped after the prince.
Aragorn and Arwen never wanted the moment to end, and the knowledge of Legolas' consideration for the two would ensure he did not come this way again. Though before either could brake away from their kiss, the same fair faced elf came barging through, though taking no noticed of them. Poor Arwen was again in the mud. She stood up no longer for three seconds until another elven blur came racing through the same path as Leoglas. As she passed, she again succeeded in knocking the already muddy elf into a puddle. Aragorn stood there, unsure of what happened. Instead of the dark haired elf getting up from the puddle she was in, she sat there and pouted. Aragorn blinked, then went to the task of helping Arwen up; which was not easy, since she fought against him. Finally he gave up, and sat in the mud with her. He just hoped that second blur was not who he thought it was. ' Poor Legolas' he thought, smiling in pity.
Legolas: What was that? Man, if Arwen were here, she would kick your mortal butt from here to middle earth and back.
Blood thirsty: Shut it elf boy. This is why I don't give you a muse. I might let you go, IF the reviewer/reviewers decide to have pity on you. If not, then they can choose if they want you to suffer alone, or if they want misery to have company. So, amy, I hope your still reading this, and if it's just you, then the choice is yours. But I would appreciate feed back from everybody reading it, and I will give you recognition!
Legolas: Real brainer trying to bride them in the story, than in the summary. Hey! We have a regular genius here!
Blood thirsty: ANYWAY! Please review, I would really appreciate constructive criticism, if anything, flame if you must, but they will be used to fry the defiance out of me little muse… * grins evilly *
Legolas: * swallows nervously *
Oh, disclaimer, don't own it. Never will. Happy? Now lawyers, please put away your suitcases.
