Chapter 11 B - 5th Period, Freshman Year



I ran over to him as he readied his long bow. I took a deep breath, as I was right next to him, and tapped him on the shoulder.

Lurtz ignored me and continued to focus on Boromir.

My eyes narrowed. "Fucking A.."

I angrily shoved Mary's blade into Lurtz's back and he howled in in pain. I slid the sword back out and he dropped his bow. He turned his head toward me and snarled as I took his head, highlander style. Minus the quickening effect of course.

The blood poured out and I let out a relieved moan before I allowed my actions to take a full effect on me.

I'd just killed someone. Sure he was an evil Uruk-Hai.. But he was still a living being. I had just played God. He had a soul, right?

I didn't have much more time to think as another one of the Uruk-Hai attacked me.

I wasn't invisible anymore.

Fuck.

I swung wildly, and managed to get him to step back, but only long enough for another to come at me from behind. I let out a shriek as I dodged his blade, only to stumble over Lurtz's body and hit my head on something hard.

Everything went black.

I wasn't out too long..

I came to, just in time to hear the sounds of Sue bawling. I forced myself to get up and spotted Sue weeping over Boromir's body as she spoke with Aragorn.

Oh god.. NO!! I sprinted over and slid to my knees as I landed next to Boromir.

"It happened so quickly." Sue moaned to Aragorn. "I thought I would reach him in time, but alas, the hobbits were taken and Boromir fell."

My brow furrowed as I found myself staring at Boromir's body, only vaguely listening to the whining bitch.

Where was the blood? He had Uruk-Hai blood splattered everywhere, but I didn't see any human blood.

I looked over at Sue who was trying to receive comfort from Aragorn as Legolas joined us. Legolas glanced at me in sadness and I swiftly turned away to follow an urge.

I checked Boromir's throat, and low and behold, there were signs of a strangulation. Thank too much television for that knowledge. His body was still lightly warm, but definitely cooling.

I prayed I remembered my CPR stint in high school health class and covered Boromir's mouth with my own. I tried the typical routine twice..

Nothing.

The others were staring at me now, but I didn't care. I tired again and as I lifted my face from Boromir's and pushed on his chest, he let out a strangled gasp.

I let out a shout of joy as Boromir struggled to sit up. Not caring about anything else, I wrapped my arms around him in a fierce hug.

"You.. Little.. BITCH!"

I let go of Boromir in time to be grabbed and dragged away by sword point. I smirked at Sue, even as she held my life in her hands. "Not so perfect now are you?"

Sue's green eyes were practically aflame as she shoved me into a tree. I winced and she forced her sword to my throat.

"You ruined everything." She hissed at me.

"As if I've never heard that before." I snorted. It didn't matter if she killed me or not now. Boromir was alive and the others could see her for what she really was. "Go ahead. Kill me."

"Not yet." Sue said. "We have to wait until Nerissa gets here."

My mouth curved into a dark grin. "Then you'll be waiting a long time."

Her eyes narrowed as she realized what I meant. With a cry of pure rage she stepped back and then slammed me against the tree again. Pain shot through my skull as it hit the tree harder then ever. God that bitch could push. Sue pulled her sword arm back and readied herself to impale me.

She didn't get the chance. Sue's eyes filled with shock and pain and she fell to the ground face first, Aragorn's dagger in her back.

I stared at the four men and released a tired breath. "Bout fucking time." I started to slump to the ground, but was quickly grabbed by Legolas. I looked up at him as my head reeled. I must have had a concussion or something because I flashed him a silly grin.

"You are sooo cute, you know that?" I received the arch again in reply and I giggled. "I love it when you do that."

Legolas glanced at the others, looking for help, but all he received were looks of amusement from them.

Boromir, who looked a bit shaky but stable, came over and took me from Legolas. I smiled up at him too.

"Why do you guys have to be so tall?" I pouted. "You should shrink or something. Easy access that way." I proceeded to poke Boromir in the chest. "I saved you, you know."

Boromir gave me a thankful smile. "That you did, and I will be indebted to you for that."

I nodded. "Good. I take my rewards in cold hard cash or in the form of handsome elves named Legolas."

Gimli let out a chuckle and my eyes rolled back into my skull as darkness claimed me again.
