I'm back with a new chapter and everything. I've tried to keep the story going as I have been, with a barely there legolas romance (all of the legolas romances are starting to piss me off), but I think the romantic in me is seeping through.
*gapes* woah, look at the reviews. *sniff* That's everyone for reviewing the story, I really appreciate it! I would list out all the people but I'm not online right now + there are too many people. But you wonderful people know who you are!!
*proud* Look look look, I've actually changed/fixed the plot. It now has a fairly decent one. The chapter is so short because I needed to leave you with a cliffhanger of sorts to proclaim my new plot turn. I'll write more next chapter though!
Chapter 5
Rowen sat in her garden leaning against the same tree that she and legolas had been leaning against hours earlier. Her anger still hadn't worn off, but it had lessened considerably. She felt empty inside.
'So he was only after my hand' she thought and cursed. 'of all the -'
She paused in her thoughts when she heard a rustling in the bushes to her left. She rose to her feet and prepared to take off into the trees if need be. Out of the bushes came…a tree? Rowen paused in mid leap. She stared hard at the 'tree' and then broke out laughing.
"Don't scare me like that master treebeard!"
The ent smiled slightly. "You are very jumpy today lady Rowen. Could it be the fault of a young master elf?"
Rowen's face fell and anger went over her face again.
"What ever makes you say that sir?" she said in a monotone voice.
Treebeard's smile grew. "I saw the light of the jewel" he said simply.
Rowen took the family jewel out from under her dress, took it off her neck, and examined it. She tossed and turned it over her fingers. Finally she looked back up.
"What is so special about this rotten thing anyway? What good has it done me? I think I would throw it in even the depths of mount doom if I so had the chance."
"No, you should not!" said the ent sharply. His eyes flicked from side to side. "You would do best to hide it again also lady, spies of Saruman are everywhere these fell days."
Rowen shrugged off his concern and laughed. "We are in the realm of my father. What could possibly happen?"
"Danger is closer at hand then anyone has thought." The ent seemed to straighten slightly and his cheery demeanor returned. "Well I must be off. I have left the halflings with his majesty and the company. I must go and meet them again."
Rowen nodded. "It has been a please as always master treebeard. Oh, and would you not tell my father where I am?"
The ent nodded. "Of course my lady." And with that he was gone.
Rowen sat back down heavily, taking out the jewel again.
"What is so special with this anyway? It doesn't look out of the ordinary. Except for the light it gives off, which I still don't rightfully understand myself, it could pass off as any old family jewel."
She looked at for a couple more minutes, trying to unlock its secrets. Failing, she sighed and placed it back under her dress.
She stood and prepared to face the wraith of her father when she heard another noise to the side of her in the bushes. She turned towards the sound and called out. "I will not be frighten by you anymore master ent. You think the same thing would happen work again?"
Her smile faded slightly when she didn't receive a response.
"Hello?" she called walking towards the noise.
"Pretty little elf, all alone in the woods. Whatever shall we do with her?" said an old voice from the shadows. Recognizing it at once Rowen made for the trees, but a single burst of energy came from the shadow and hit her, knocking her out cold.
Saruman stepped out and gestured with his staff towards her. Her body lifted off the ground and rose over to him. He smirked.
bum bum buummmmm. Like the new twist (even though it is rather subtle right now)? Review please and tell me what you think!
