A/N: I just want everyone to know that now you can reach me at abskii_79@hotmail.com. Feel free to email me for anything, even just to tell me to email you when I update.

Guess what? I just saw the Two Towers and I feel something coming up. Inspiration! Go me, I think I may be able to make something of this story yet, even complete it!

*~*~*

"Merry, I'm bored!" Pippin stated.

"Well so am I, but you don't see me whining about it."

Pippin groaned and looked up to where Aallieah was swooping around way up in the sky, "I still don't think it is fair that she gets to go all over and we are stuck here."

Boromir laughed and told the disgruntled hobbit, "Well if you had wings would you think that it was unfair to use your gift for your enjoyment while others could not?"

"No, but that is besides—"

"No, Pip, it is not. Do you think Aallieah begrudges you about your ability to eat everything on the table and still have room for dessert?"

Pippin looked back at the man with a puzzled look, "Well why shouldn't she?"

Boromir rolled his eyes and continued to paddle their little canoe, "You, my dear hobbit, are totally hopeless."

*~*~*

In fact Aallieah was not enjoying her gift. She had her eyes trained on every which way and frankly it was giving her an awful headache.

She did a giant loop and a dive to try and clear her head and then she got the feeling.

She stopped in mid dive and shot higher into the sky. She was twisting like a mad thing, her feelings were very rarely wrong. Seeing nothing did not improve her mood. Silently she dropped down and landed softly on the stern of Legolas's and Gimli's boat.

"Legolas, do you—"

He turned around from his paddling and interrupted the faerie, "Yes, Aallieah, I feel it too. Something draws near. You should be every watchful in the sky today." With that he resumed his paddling.

Aallieah once again took to the sky and muttered to herself, "That was not what I meant. I too feel something drawing near, but I also feel someone or something watching us."

She shook her head of her troubled thoughts and looked to what lay ahead of the travelers. What her eyes found made her gasp.

Obviously Legolas heard for he looked up to her with questioning eyes, "Aallieah, what is it?"

She never even looked down at him, she was so stunned, "Look!"

Everyone heard this last part and looked to where she was pointing. In front of the tiny canoes were two massive statues of Gondor's kings of old.

Aragorn bowed his head in wonder at his past kings, "Long have I wanted to gaze upon my kings of old."

The Fellowship let the boats float on so as not to hinder their viewing of this timeless wonder.

Aallieah swooped back down to the boats and hovered even with them. "This is amazing. Never have I seen anything like it!"

Gimli chuckled, "See, Master Elf, even stone can be beautiful."

Legolas glanced at the dwarf and answered quickly, "Yes, I do agree."

Too soon they had past the wonders by and were on their way. Aallieah stayed with the Fellowship for a little while but then began to become restless with the slow pace. With out a word she slowly started to rise. She kept rising until even Legolas would be unable to hear her.

She stayed up there enjoying the warm breezes that continued to wash over her and began to look ahead to what was coming. She still did not see anything of interest so she wheeled around and began to check behind them.

Suddenly something caught her eye. There was a dark shape underneath the water and it was following the canoes. At first it looked like a log but then she saw it took a definite shape. It was swimming!

Aallieah lowered herself a little bit until she could see in detail. Yes, she was right! It was what almost looked like a human swimming after Legolas's and Gimli's canoe. As it came up for air she saw exactly what and who it was.

Gollum! He was following them!

She muttered to herself, "Not for long will you be with us."

With out even another thought to how high up she was, Aallieah folded her wings and went into a spectacular dive. Pippin had just been about to ask her why she was so high up when he saw her begin to dive.

"Aallieah!" He shouted, getting the attention of everyone in the Fellowship.

When Aragorn saw what was happening he began issuing orders quickly, "Legolas, Gimli get that canoe out of there! Boromir swing around to see what is happening!" Then Aragorn wheeled his canoe and frightened cargo up to where it looked like she was going to hit.

Right in front of Aragorn's canoe a gray head popped out of the water and gave a squeak of fright. Then as suddenly as it had appeared it disappeared back into the water.

"It's Gollum!"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Aallieah hit the water and went under out of sight. Almost as soon as she disappeared, she reappeared grappling with the little monster.

Gollum was not going to give up by the looks of things, he kept shoving Aallieah's head under water to try and drown her. But, she was not going to let that happen. Using up the last of her strength, the faerie shot into the air with Gollum still attached to her. She kept climbing and fighting with it until she judged she was high enough and pried it's fingers off of her and let it drop. Gollum hit the water with a sickening slap and Aallieah was soon to follow. She dove in after it and then resurfaced coughing and wheezing.

Boromir grabbed her by the collar and swung her into the canoe. She landed on her knees and continued to cough up the dirty water.

In a weak rasp, she told them, "It got away. It kicked me in the stomach and shot away. The little devil had been following us, or following the Ring." She gave a look to Frodo's chest, as did Boromir.

Aallieah climbed to her feet and stood in the center of the canoe. Aragorn was glowering at her, "Was that really necessary? You could have been hurt or worse killed. Do you enjoy being as dangerous as possible?"

She returned his look, then looked down at her feet, "Well, if you would have rather had it following us. But as I said to Legolas, I had earlier felt something near, when it was following us. I don't feel it now."

Legolas shook his head, "I still do, but not as strongly."

Aragorn looked at him, "Are you sure, my friend?"

"Yes."

"Then we should get to shore before that 'something' finds us, if it does. Come, let us make for the Eastern Shore."

*~*~*

A/N: There, I got another chapter out. I have feeling that this story is going to pick up the pace now. I am almost swamped with ideas. I think my brain is back from its vacation. Thank you very much! It's about time! So be prepared for Aallieah's stupid moves, (like now), and some major action, (I hope).

Remember, if you have any suggestions, please feel free to contact me at abskii_79@hotmail.com!

Until next time!
