**Thank you all for reviewing! I'll try to get more chapters up! Please R&R!!
Chapter 10....
The morning was cold and the moisture hung in the air. The fellowship had started gathering around together in the `public square' in Rivendell. They were getting ready to leave. Amanda was standing with Legolas, they were talking about the journey.
"Hey, you'd better be careful out there." Amanda told him. "Watch your back at all times."
Legolas laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not planning on dying while on this trip. I won't get killed, don't worry."
"I'm not worried. I know you're not going to die," Amanda said smiling.
"You're so sure?" Legolas questioned.
"I'm about 150% positive that you aren't going to die Legolas," she said.
Legolas nodded. "I wonder where that elf is? He's going to be late and make us delay our journey."
"He should be here soon. Legolas, please leave Durian alone on the trip. Don't make fun of him every second you are away." Amanda said.
"I'm supposed to do it," he told her.
"Yeah I know that your goal in life is to make his entire existence miserable, but please, I know you guys are going to be under enough stress while you are away, you don't need anymore with the two of you constantly feuding." Said Amanda.
Legolas looked at her and nodded, "I'll try, but I can't promise anything. I just look at him and I have an incredible urge to just annoy him."
Amanda laughed, "Well try to hold back your urge. Hey do you have your MIN?"
Amanda, Durian, and Legolas had given the name MIN to the little Motorola Instant Messenger things they had.
"No, I did not think that I would need it on our journey. Will I need one?" he asked.
"Yes, I think it will be useful. You never know when I might have some valuable information to help your journey." Amanda said. She pulled one out of her bag and handed it over to him.
Legolas took it and looked back at Amanda, "Riiight. Sure, I know why you want me to have it. And I'll know why Durian will most likely have his too. Help us out on our journey huh? Well I'll believe that until the minute comes when I'm hearing him moan in the middle of the night when he's getting `valuable journey information' from you." Legolas said laughing.
"Oh my God!" She said. She hit him hard on the arm as he continued laughing. "You have got one sick demented mind you know that right? I never thought you acted like this at all. From the movie you seemed relatively quiet."
Legolas continued laughing, "Yeah, if I knew what a movie was I'd probably agree with you. Was I damn sexy too?" He asked sarcastically as he wiped the tears from his eyes.
Amanda looked at him in silence, finally she said quietly, "You never think before you speak, do you?"
Legolas smiled, "I try." He lightly hit her on the arm and kept smirking.
"You're impossible." Amanda said, starting to laugh herself.
"Yeah," he said smiling, "I know."
Durian was now running from his room to try to get to the gathering as quickly as he could. He cursed himself silently, he was always late for everything. He ran down the stairs and out the door. He stopped short when he almost reached the fellowship. He saw Amanda and Legolas laughing together, it made him furious when he noticed Legolas flirting with Amanda. He walked calmly up towards the two laughing figures and smiled. "So. What's so funny?" He asked.
Amanda looked at Legolas, "Oh, nothing. Your brother was just showing me how immature he really is for an elf of 2,391."
Legolas pasted a fake look of shock on his face, "Me? Immature? Never! Elves get wiser as we get older, not more immature." He laughed.
"Yeah, well I think you're a exception," Amanda said.
Legolas laughed and patted Durian on the shoulder and walked over to speak with Aragorn.
Amanda watched him go, "Was he always like this?"
"Yes, unfortunately." Durian said.
Amanda laughed. "Well, now I feel sorry for you. You have to put up with him for the rest of eternity. You poor thing."
"Yes, well I guess he just grows on you after awhile." Durian said.
"Yeah... I guess." Amanda said.
Durian smiled, but his smile vanished when he saw Hanicel walking towards them.
"Well well well. What have we here? The little elf boy and the little earthling. What an adorable couple." Hanicel sneered. "I hope you remember that you still owe me a rematch from that beautiful day."
"Yes, I remember. And I plan on taking you up on your death wish," Durian said.
"Oh no, my friend. I think it will be your death wish, all of us here know you aren't a real warrior. I wonder why Lord Elrond ever agreed to let you go on this journey. Obviously he realizes that you are merely a weak child. It must be because of your family, and who's in it." Hanicel said. He smiled smugly as he looked at Durian.
"Bastard!" Durian screamed. He lunged at Hanicel and tackled him to the ground. He unsheathed his short sword from the holster on his back and pressed it to the other elf's throat as he sat on top of him, holding him down. "Now who's the better warrior friend?"
"You only caught me off guard. Next time you won't be so lucky." He pushed Durian off him and got up quickly. He looked down at Durian, "Maybe next time, you'll be the one off guard."
Legolas stood watching Hanicel. He'd always known that this elf meant trouble. But he was a great warrior and his father always trusted his fake smile. Hanicel shot Legolas a sharp look before walking away down the path. Legolas sighed and walked over to Durian and helped him up.
"Get up," he said. "The ground is no place for a prince."
Durian gratefully took his hand and allowed himself to be pulled up. "Thank you brother. I'll remember that in the future." He said.
Legolas nodded and walked back to his previous conversation with Aragorn and the hobbits.
Amanda looked at Durian and noticed that the fellowship was gathering their gear and was getting ready to leave.
"Well, I guess you're off now. Do you have your MIN?" Amanda asked Durian.
"Yes, I wouldn't forget it for anything." He said.
"Good."
"Durian! Come, it's time to go." Aragorn called from the gates of Rivendell.
Durian looked at Amanda and hugged her tightly. As he was hugging her, he began to notice a small feeling in his stomach, a feeling that he hadn't known before. As he stood there holding her he kissed her hair and looked at her. `I love you,' he said in Elvish.
"What?" Asked Amanda. Tears were forming in her eyes but she was trying to hold them back.
Durian looked at Amanda and sighed. "Nothing. It means nothing at all."
Amanda smiled and hugged him tightly. She finally let him go and watched him walk away.
Legolas watched the two with sadness in his eyes. With his keen elvish hearing he had heard what Durian said to the girl. He shook his head sadly as he heard Durian tell her that he had said nothing. `Why does the boy have to be so shy?' he asked himself silently.
Durian joined Legolas at the back of the fellowship as they left Rivendell. Durian walked without turning back. He knew that if he did, he might end up not going at all, and just stay in Rivendell with Amanda.
"Durian, why didn't you just tell her?" Legolas asked.
"Because I knew that I shouldn't. It wouldn't be right for me to tell her. It's wrong for me to even love her. She is too young." Durian said.
"I thought that didn't matter to you." Legolas said.
"I thought so too. But I guess I was just lying to myself." Durian said as they walked towards danger, towards growing friendships, and death...
