Chapter 5--Plans And Preparations To Make
Aragorn sent a messenger to Xandir to warn Sandi and Kyle that Darrin had been spotted then went to check on Legolas.
Jaisia looked up when Aragorn entered. "He is still asleep, Will he be all right?" she asked.
"He will be, he just needs to rest and heal," Aragorn said and sat down. "I sent a message to Xandir so they would be on the alert."
Legolas shifted restlessly, murmuring something in Elvish. Jaisia reached out and stroked his hair like a mother comforting a child. "Shh, rest, little brother. Everything is well," she whispered.
"This soul bond is very powerful, more then I ever thought," Aragorn said.
"Yes, the three of us are bonded together more intimately then most lovers. We know each others feelings and emotions," Jaisia said.
"The bond saved his life and glad it is there. I am close to Legolas in my own way; we are like brothers. I wish he had gone west with his kin. He would be safe then," Aragorn sighed.
"He is not ready, he has told me that and Kai and I have both sensed it. Do you think any of us are safe now that we know for certain Darrin is out to get us?" Jaisia asked.
"Probably not, we will have to stay alert and watch out for each other," Aragorn admitted.
Legolas stirred then opened his eyes. "Jaisia?" he asked in a hoarse whisper.
Jaisia leaned over him. "I am here, are you all right?" she asked.
"Aye, just a little sore and stiff. Could I have some water?" Legolas asked.
Jaisia filled a glass then supported Legolas so he could drink then laid him down again. "You need to rest more, try to go back to sleep," she said.
Aragorn moved where Legolas could see him. "She is right, Legolas," he said.
"Aragorn, did you send a message to Sandi?" Legolas asked.
"Yes, it is on its way, now go back to sleep so you can heal," Aragorn said.
"But, Aragorn--" Legolas began.
"No buts, go back to sleep or I swear I will drug you," Aragorn interrupted.
"And I will help him," Jaisia added sternly.
Legolas knew better then to argue. He nodded and closed his eyes, allowing the healing sleep to roll over him again.
Aragorn looked at Jaisia and was startled and a little shaken by the look in her eyes. There was no hint of the teasing, playful Centaur, only the fierce, deadly look of a she-wolf protecting her cubs. "I will not let Legolas be harmed by that bastard again. I wish we had managed to kill him then it would be over," she said. "We have to find what hole that hateful serpent has slithered into and dig him out."
"This time we are forewarned, he will not be able to catch us off guard. We are ready for him this time," Aragorn said. He gave her a hug. "And I will be here too, I do not want Legolas to be harmed either."
"But you can not be here all the time," Jaisia said, giving him a worried look. "You must think of Arwen and your unborn child." The impish smile returned. "You must take good care of her, sugar and I will take care of sweet cheeks."
"I know you will, I will go fetch Gimli and Arwen and bring them here. We have things we must discuss, you will have to tell Legolas everything when he wakes up," Aragorn said and left the room.
Jaisia looked at Legolas and sighed. "So much for relaxing among my people for a while. It seems we never have time," she said. She leaned forward and kissed Legolas on the brow then gently brushed his hair out of his face. "But someday we will." She waited for the others to come….
