Chapter VII

The night before Legolas, Arwen, Aragorn and Bekki were to leave the White City for Isengard, Bekki was sleeping in her room, and was just dropping off when her door opened silently to the human ear, but with a small creak to elven ears, causing her to open her eyes. She shifted her weight from one elbow to the other as she looked around to see who was there.

"Legolas... what are you doing?" She murmured sleepily.

"Oh, I... I didn't mean to wake you." Legolas apologised in a whisper.

"It's OK... just... what's up?" Bekki asked sitting up. "What's with the late night call?"

"Umm.... no reason!" The blonde Elf grinned far to innocently.

"What have you done?" Bekki asked sternly getting up. She eyed the male suspiciously. "What have you got behind your back?"

"Nothing." Legolas replied, dodging to one side so she couldn't see.

"Legolas." Bekki raised an eyebrow and folded her arms.

"Alright... but I wanted them to be a surprise." Legolas caved when she gave him a sad puppy-dog look.

"Yay!" She clasped her hands together as Legolas held out two scabbards on a belt and handed them to her.

"Well... Legolas..." She smiled kindly as she took one of the short swords out on the scabbards.

"Because your old ones were covered in Orc blood... I thought you might like some new ones... caved by the Elves in Mirkwood." He smiled as the white metal flashed in the dim light of Bekki's room. She ran a finger up the flat blade and felt an inscription.

"What's the inscription say?" She asked.

"Ah, it means: Arcturus, that's the left swords name, it means star. The right swords name is Morwinyon, it means bolt." Legolas smiled watching her twisting them in her hands and trying out a few advance moves.

"Arcturus and Morwinyon... nice." She smiled placing them back in their scabbards and the belt on her table. "Thank you Legolas..."

"It's, as you would say, OK. I best leave you to sleep... and best warn you, you will me Gimili tomorrow morning... he has come down from Emyn Muil *AN: I dunno if he's here... it's close to Gondor... go fig!* to travel with us for as longer time as possible." Legolas gave her a fond smile as he opened the door.

"Am I not going to like Gimili?" Bekki asked, leaning on the door frame.

"Oh, no, you'll like him... he'll just take you a little bit of time to get used too.... he's not like the Elves of Mirkwood, or the men of Gondor." Legolas replied.

"I know... he's a Dwarf!" Bekki gave a childish grin and felt Legolas' lips pressing on her in an affectionate kiss.

"I'll see you in the morning." He smiled and left.

"Yeah..." Bekki sighed dreamily shutting the door and almost floating over to her bed.

***

"OK, OK! Legolas, enough! Enough!" Bekki gave a breathless giggle rushing out of Legolas' room, followed by the Prince himself.

"You're going to regret waking me up like that!" He called, chasing after her down the corridor.

"It was a joke!" Bekki called back, ducking down another corridor and dodging the Gondor guards and occupiers of the palace.

"Not a funny one!" Legolas growled playfully grabbing the back of her top and pulling her into his arms.

"What are you gonna do?" Bekki asked with mock fear.

"Think of your worst nightmare, and triple it." Legolas grinned mischievously.

"You're gonna turn in to a ballerina hippo?" Bekki cocked her head. *AN: Seriously, my worse night mare is being cornered by ballerina hippos in pink tutus.... Fantasia traumatised me!* Legolas chuckled and rolled his eyes at her.

"Yes." He sighed resting his forehead on hers. "I'm going to turn into a ballerina hippo." Bekki squeaked and flung her arms around him.

"I hope not! Hippos scare me.... and I don't think I'd like to marry one! And if I ever got attacked by them, I wouldn't have anyone to protect me!" She gave a cheeky grin.

"Maybe I won't turn into one, just yet." Legolas smiled and kissed her lightly.

"Oh... Legolas... someone to see you." Arwen's voice caused the couple to break away.

"Hm?" Legolas looked round and saw, standing next to Arwen, a stout fellow with a horned helmet resting on his head, and red beard with braids. "Gimili!" Legolas exclaimed.

"Legolas! My friend! How are you! It has been most long!" The dwarf smiled.

"Indeed, too long old friend! There is much we need to discuss upon. But, before such things begin, allow me to introduce you. Tararith, this is Gimili, an old, dear friend of mine. Gimili, this is Tararith, MY precious." Legolas smiled leading his friend towards Bekki.

"I've heard a lot about you Gimili. It's nice to finally meet ya." Bekki smiled.

"As it is for me. I hope my friend has chosen wisely in his choice for wife." Gimili smiled at her and then Legolas.

"Everyone." Aragorn appeared behind them. "The horses are ready and packed, we can go when you say." He looked at Legolas who kissed Bekki's forehead.

"Let's go." He grinned.

***

"So, you and Legolas kinda... remade the friendship between Elves and Dwarves?" Bekki asked, walking Uurime beside Gimili and his pony, Golly *AN: *sniggers* I've always wanted a pony called Golly! I can live out my dream in my story!!! *_* *

"That we did Tararith. now, Elves and Dwarves are like they once were before the One Ring was created." Gimili replied.

"I'm really happy. I can't see why beings as nice as dwarves and elves could hate each other like that. It seems so strange." Bekki smiled at him and looked over at Legolas who was riding a head of them. "Please excuse me." She said, trotting Uurime on.

"Legolas, why are you riding so far ahead? Slow down, otherwise we may loose you all together." Bekki smiled as the Elf pulled on Caranweigh's reigns.

"I want us to get to Isengard as soon as possible. Orcs roam these areas and we are an easy target. The sooner we get to Gandalf, the better." Legolas replied.

"I understand that, but Aragorn said, it will take us at least seven days to get there, even if we go at a fast pace, so why not take it slowly, that way the horses won't get tired so fast." Bekki suggested.

"Tararith!" Legolas snapped at her. "Ne-never mind..." He shook his head and pulled Caranweigh to a stop. "Let us rest." He called to the others who did the same as him and dismounted. Bekki watched Legolas as he walked off, leaving Caranweigh to graze with the other horses. Bekki dismounted Uurime and start following.

"I wouldn't follow him if I were you Tararith." Gimili warned.

"But you're not me." Bekki replied simply and ran after Legolas.

***

"Legolas! Legolas, wait up! Legolas! Slow down!" Bekki called catching sight of Legolas' blonde hair.

"You should stay with the others, I'll be back in a short time." Legolas called back.

"No! What's wrong Legolas?!" Bekki snapped, catching up to him by the shoulders.

"Nothing!" Legolas replied annoyed.

"Nothing my ass. Look, elf-boy, what's wrong?" Bekki spoke slowly.

"It's nothing you have to concern yourself with." Legolas refused to look at her.

"Legolas... where are we, when you can't even tell me your problems?" Bekki asked with hurt in her voice.

"I don't know... and I don't care!" Legolas shouted. Bekki coughed and stared at him.

"I can't believe you just said that." She said.

"Tararith, I-I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean-"

"Then why did you say it?!" Bekki cut him off before he could finish. A tear found it's way down her cheek and she sniffed.

"I didn't know what I was thinking." Legolas stared at the floor.

"You weren't thinking! That's why!" Bekki shot at him. She turned around the other way and started walking away.

"Tararith! Where are you going?!" Legolas called behind her.

"Away from you! And my name isn't Tararith!" Bekki yelled back. "It's BEKKI DE-FUCKING-CARA!" She screamed and ran off.

***

"Stupid Legolas! Stupid Mirkwood! Stupid Middle Earth!" Bekki muttered to herself leaning up against a tree. "I'm not marrying him... I'm not... not now..." She slid down the trunk and pulled her knees up to her chest. "He doesn't love me... he never did, never would... I was just another bit of fun... I wonder how many girls he's got around the world..." She wiped tears off her face. "I have to get away from here... I have to get home."

Chi: Yes, yes, I know. This chapter sucks ass. And I'm sorry, it's just I'm having trouble writing at the moment because of school work. So.... yeah... I'm sorry, please R&R and give me some pointers or ideas for more chapters, cause I'm basically almost dried out.
TTFN!
