Author Disclaimer: Let's see. Hmmm, nope. Not mine.


AN: I'm gonna cut down the swearing just for you Cimmy. That'll make you happy, won't it?
Hmmm, maybe.

Nat's POV.

God, why does this quest involve so much walking? Hmm, that's probably because
that's what you do on these things. I really shouldn't have said that we would come along.
----------------------------
Emma is chatting up Aragorn, AGAIN! What is with her? Mind you, she probably
thought the same way when I was with Boromir. Poor guy. He really didn't deserve that.
I look at the ground and sigh. No-one deserves that.....even the worst of people....I will avenge
though. You mark my word....
---------------------------
"You're still upset, aren't you?" Emma chirped. She's made progress with Aragorn,
I can tell.
"Well duh." I replied.
"That must really hurt." She said. Emma hasn't exactly got the hang of tact. I shall
give her lessons one of these days....."I mean, it's not exactly a nice way to go, is it?" I
face her.
"Look. I haven't had much sleep and the quest is REALLY getting on my nerves. So
don't mess with me." I snapped.
"Hey. I was trying to be nice..." Hmmmm, 'nice' isn't the word I would have chosen.
More like 'rubbing it in'.
-----------------------------
Oh my god....I think I'm going mad. I keep seeing HIM everywhere. But that ISN'T
possible, he went over the waterfall in the boat. He is DEAD. Maybe it's through lack of sleep.
Yeah, tiredness often makes you hallucinate, doesn't it?
-----------------------------
Oh yay. Aragorn is talking with these 'Riders of Rohan'. Emma seems impressed.
Yet again. I shake my head. Is it just me or does she fancy just about every single bloke
we've come across on this journey so far. Journey? Yeah, journey to hell. I walk away from them
and sit on my own.
-----------------------------
I'm getting freaked now...There he is again. I close my eyes and take deep breaths.
I open my eyes and he's gone...
------------------------------
This is boring. How long do they have to take? God.....
------------------------------
I get up and walk around a bit. I look over at Aragorn and the others. Still talking.
Out of the corner of my eye, I can see a figure. I turn. No....It's him again. I frown and
walk to where he is. Now that I'm closer, I can see he's semi-transparent. Oh god....I'm going
mad! I turn and walk quickly away from the 'hallucination'. But something is drawing me back,
I can't explain what, but it is.
-----------------------------
Emma's looking for me, I can hear her calling my name.....
*Go.* I shake my head.
"No...."
*Just go!*
"I will see you again, won't I?"
*You will....I'll find you, don't worry. Now you better not keep your friend waiting...*
"NAT!! There you are! God, I was looking for you for about an hour." Yeah whatever.
You probably were flirting with Aragorn until it dawned on you that I had gone. Only THEN do
you come looking for me.
------------------------------
"God Nat. You're so pale. You look as if you've seen a ghost." That. Is probably because
I have. But there's no use telling her that. She'll just think I'm mad.....
"Nat? What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"There is. I can tell." I sigh. Well, here goes nothing. If she doesn't believe me then
fine. "I saw him." I begin.
"Saw who?"
"Boromir." Emma looks at me oddly. What did I tell you?
"Sure you did."
"I did."
"Whatever."
"I DID." I yell at her.
"Right. I know you've been through a lot just recently, but that's no reason to make
stuff up. He's dead Nat. Dead. You can't see him." I narrow my eyes. She'll find out in due
time....A small smile flickers across my face. And it isn't going to be pleasent when she does....
