Pelarden - what a scumbag. What was I thinking?
Chapter 33
Aragorn stood before Faith and Legolas. His face wore a frown and he was not pleased at the sight of Faith cradled in Legolas's arms on Faith's bed. Faith ignored Aragorn and snuggled back down in Legolas's arms. She had never been called anyone's 'beloved' before and she was enjoying every moment of it, even with the weird ears she mused shutting her eyes as sleep began to take hold of her again.
"Gandalf told me I should come to you for an explanation. I am here. Will you now speak Faith?" Aragorn said grimly glaring at the sleeping girl.
Faith yawned leisurely as she opened her eyes, she stretched her arms before finally answering. "Yes the Ringwraith called to me. No I'm not in league with whatever his name was. Pelarden's only pissed cos he's jealous. Anything else?"
"So you are not in league with Sauron. Why would it call to you then?"
"I have absolutely no idea. But it did and I was tempted. But then I figured that I'd had enough of that and killed it with it's own sword. Coincidentally saving Pelarden's life." She stated as she watched Aragorn.
"You saved Pelarden?" He asked astonished.
"Yeah. And?" Faith looked at Aragorn's face. "I guess he left that part out."
"I thank you for your story Faith." Aragorn said eventually as he got up to leave. He started walking down the corridor when he heard Faith call to him. "Aragorn!"
"Yes Faith?"
"Don't kill him or anything will you?"
"He must face justice."
"Speaking from personal experience of justice, with the whole jail thing on earth, don't be too hard, okay?"
"Very well, I will be lenient."

Pelarden stood facing Aragorn in the middle of the throne room. Faith stood next to Legolas who was holding her hand tightly. It looked as though Legolas was restraining Faith. In reality it was the other way around.
"You have lied to us Pelarden. You stated that the Lady Faith was in league with our enemies when in reality she saved your life from them."
"It called to her. I saw it!" He cried.
"This is true. Lady Faith admits that the Ringwraith called to her, but she fought it's will even as she fought it in battle."
"She's a murderer! She admits it."
Faith felt Legolas tighten his grip on her hand. "Keep it up Elf boy and you'll crush my bones." She whispered into his ear. His hand loosened immediately. She looked up at Aragorn and then decided to speak. "You're right I am." The whole court gasped. She let go of Legolas's hand and moved to face Pelarden.
"But I've changed. I could have killed you when I first met you outside Isengard. I could have killed you the night before the battle. I could have left you to face the Ringwraith alone. I could have killed you with your own sword when you took me prisoner." She took a breath before continuing. "I know why you've got this vendetta against me." She said walking towards Pelarden. "But I've made my choice. And I chose him, not you." She came to a stop directly in front of him. "So just get over it."
***
After Pelarden's trial and subsequent banishment things settled back down to normal in Minas Tirith. With of course one exception, Faith and Legolas went and did everything together. Neither spoke of when Faith would be returning, but it preyed on both their minds. Legolas taught Faith everything he knew about fighting and Faith taught him a few moves as well. Eventually the day came for the fellowship to depart Minas Tirith and return to their respective homes.
And that's all I have. Was it believable for you? Did I screw up big time? I wrote most of this at 3am so if it's rubbish then I'm blaming it on that (my judgement's all gone very wrong) R&R please - you know you want to!
I do have more chapters if you're interested (when I finally write them) will Faith stay/go and will Legolas die of a broken heart if she leaves (sob!) could I be so cruel?
R&R and find out!!!!!!
