I know I've probably done enough 1st person for now, and I might do some in
some future chapters, but for now 3rd person is what I'll be using. Please
post reviews!!
After the day passed, The fellowship stayed up talking wit Indil late into the night. The hobbits were the first to fall asleep and then Gimli followed suit. After a while, Boromir decided to go to sleep as well. Only Aragorn and Legolas were awake talking to Indil now. She began to realize that Aragorn looked at her with the same type of glance that Legolas used, yet it wasn't as noticeable. Legolas saw this too and his eyes grew cold. Indil grew tired and was the one who broke up their little talking circle and they all went to sleep.
It was still black as pitch when Aragorn awoke that morning. He had confirmed to himself that he did feel something towards Indil, and he was considering telling her, but he knew that Legolas would be hurt, for he saw the way Legolas looked at her, and his heart turned to stone when he saw her meet Legolas's eyes.
He got up and looked at Indil's bed expecting to see her there but he found her bed empty, and he found the spot of which Legolas usually occupied of the floor to be empty as well. He went in search of them and much to his surprise, he found them in the larger room, where Legolas was marveling over the wonders of the computer. He did not announce his presence so much as listen to all that was going on there. Once he heard the way they talked to each oher, even about the simplest things, the way it was always laughter, he burst into the room.
"Legolas! Indil! Whatever are you up to so early in the morning? You both should be sleeping at this time so we can use our energy to think on greater matters than a computer, whatever that is!"
Indil was the first to rise from her seat and she apologized to Aragorn, "I'm sorry, Aragorn, I didn't mean to disturb you or anything like that. I just usually check my mail at this time and Legolas saw me get up and he wanted to see what I was doing so I was explaining it to him…"
Aragorn cut her short of what she might have said, "Explaining it to him with laughter? I should think that something was going on between you too, had I not arisen, who knows what you would be doing or where you would be!"
Legolas shot back, "If I didn't know better, Aragorn, I should think you were Jealous. Of what, I know not. And if something were to go on, what business would it be of yours?"
Indil broke up the argument by saying, "Alright, already! You both know that nothing was going on so stop this pathetic bit of an argument before I will set you all off to find a way back to Middle-Earth without aid."
They were both taken aback by the use of the sudden harshness for about a minute. Then Aragorn spoke and said, "Indil, I wish to speak with you, alone for a minute, if I may." When Legolas left the room he commenced talking. "I don't know what is going on anymore, though I used to. I know not my feelings anymore. I don't know anyone else's either. I never thought it was possible for me to love anyone in such a short time other than Arwen, and I don't know why I love two ladies or elves at the same time, but I fear I do. I know I do not love you as much as Arwen, but I am protective of you, and I love you as a sister. I do not want you to be hurt by anything, so I fear for your well-being. I think it would be wise to not get involved with anyone who has come here, though II would not be all too surprised if my advice goes unheeded. Think well about this, I expect no response." Then he kissed her softly, and left.
She was very surprised by his change of reactions, for she felt that if he loved her as a sister, he should not have kissed her. Yet she did not feel anything that she was aware of for him. She decided to heed his advice at all costs unless she could not help herself, for he was wise and he deserved to be listened to. Indil was not left to think for long, for Legolas reentered the room, wishing to know what had happened.
She told him that Aragorn had given her some advice, and she intended to try to listen to it. She spoke nothing of the kiss, for she felt that it should not have happened. Legolas looked relieved after that was all that she told him, and when he looked into her dark green eyes he saw innocence and mystery. He could hold himself back no longer and he kissed her.
Legolas pulled himself back abruptly because he knew not what had caused him to do this, but she did not seem to regret him kissing her, and she looked so tempting right there. He refrained from kissing her again for he knew that if he gave in, he would not be able to stop, but he knew that she would never know this.
Indil was so confused by her emotions that she found she could not heed Aragorn's advice no matter that he had known what should happen when he said them. She brought herself up to meet Legolas and she was face to face with him. He refused to look into her eyes, and she feared that he regretted what he had done. "Do you regret your actions, or do you just wish it was someone else here with you?"
He had not expected her to jump to conclusions like that so he had not thought of an answer and none seemed to come to mind. His only answer was another kiss, but this one wasn't as mild as the last. Indil leaned into it and kissed him back, and Legolas hoped that she would pull away as so he wouldn't be tempted to go further. The kiss was long and passionate when Indil finally pulled away. Legolas quickly looked towards the door, and though Indil did not look quick enough, he saw Aragorn move away from it and back to the room where he had slept.
A noise was heard in the bedroom, and Indil knew it to be one of the hobbits, so she left the computer room to make ready for the day, without a backwards glance at Legolas.
Legolas was very confused by her show of emotions. First she would not look at him, then she had seemed to be in love with him, then she was able to walk away without a backwards glance. He needed explainations, but he dared not go to any of the fellowship members to ask them about it. Also, Aragorn refused to look at him as well, for he had warned Indil not to get involved with anyone, and she had done so---with Legolas.
After everyone was awake and had breakfast, all grew quiet for they were thinking of a way to get back to Middle-Earth. Then Indil said that she had an idea, though she was pretty sure it would not work. "I have read the book in which you all are characters in, and I read that Galadriel said 'The quest stands upon the edge of a knife, stray but a little and it will fail to the ruin of all.' I am also guessing that that will hold true. So maybe if we ruin all our bonds with each other, then you will be transported back to Middle-Earth where you have not strayed yet so you will be able to continue without fail."
To this Legolas faltered, for he was about to speak again, but he decided not to. Indil knew he would not agree to break all bonds, but she had to try to give it a shot if she was to ever get them back to their homes. When all else were out of the room Legolas confronted Indil. He said, " You are serious about going through with this?" and to that she replied, "Yes, I know not why, for my heart tells me not to, but it is a possibility that I must try." With that she walked away from him, knowing that she could never truly diminish what she felt for him, though he may not know that.
