Chapter 4~



The fellowship trudged silently through the forest, trying to take in every sound around them. Aragorn felt anger in side him, but for a matter of fact, the anger had been there since the downfall of his land and the death of his people. With the sudden downfall of his people, Legolas getting attacked, Merry getting kidnapped, and hurting Legolas as much as he did, he had a right to be angry. Unfortunately, he wanted to take it out on someone, or something. But, he did not want to hurt anyone, but he knew he was a time bomb waiting to explode.

"There are no Orcs near, I suppose we ought to take a rest." Aragorn said quickly and quietly.

The company nodded and began to set up a temporary fort. Aragorn walked off feeling sick and nauseated. No one followed, and he was glad. He didn't realize how long he had been gone. His vision was blurring so he lost his sense of night and day. He didn't know why he felt this way, but it was horrible. Soon there came a voice, but it was far away, hard to catch. But, no matter where he was he could understand that voice, it was Legolas.

"Aragorn, it is dusk, we where worried, you must come back to camp." Legolas walked over to Aragorn to help him up.

Aragorn felt his strength returned, and he was agitated with Legolas for no particular reason, "I do not need your help!" His tone was as cold as ice.

"Come, you are weak, we must return to camp." Again Legolas tried to help Aragorn up, put again he was shot down.

"If you touch me one more time elf, I swear I will shove me blade through your stomach." Aragorn calmly stated.

Legolas again tried to help; now Aragorn was blind with rage. He could not figure out why he felt this way, but he was ready to explode.

Aragorn grabbed the elf's arm, twisting it, but he did not break it, then he kicked him very fiercely, and using most of his strength in the shin. He watched the elf fall in pain. Immediately he was confused, he had no idea why he did that. The elf looked as if he was to cry, Legolas's face was white in shock. Quickly, Legolas attempted to stand, Aragorn, not knowing what else he could do to help, offered his hand. The look on Legolas's face was pure terror.

"I will. not. bother you any more, .please just leave me be." Legolas was afraid of Aragorn, and Aragorn couldn't believe it.

Not knowing what else he could do to rid himself of the guilt, he ran. He ran into the forest, into the dark, into the abyss that was his mind. He was heart broken; he could not believe what he had done to his love. Then he remembered, he was the only one that had to go to Morodor, he would go without them. This way he could no longer hurt those who he cared about more then himself.

"I will go alone to Morodor, and they shall not follow me, I will walk to my doom alone." He said out loud for no particular reason.

He began to walk by himself towards the land he never wanted to see, into peril he did not want to face alone, to an untimely death with nobody, he walked. As he looked back, he did not deny his fear and doubt, but what could he do? Legolas could have been killed because of him; there was no turning around.



Back at camp.

Frodo looked around, it was late, cold, and he sensed evil coming and neither Aragorn nor Legolas had come back. He paced back and forth, he figured Gimli was in charge, but the dwarf was fast asleep. Sam went in and out of sleep, and Pippin lay in the corner, he could not tell if he was asleep. There came a noise from the bushes, afraid of an ambush he woke the others. But, to the surprise of everyone, out came Legolas who was limping badly.

"Oh my Lord! Legolas is that you?" Frodo ran to his side immediately, "What happened? Where you attacked by Orcs? Did you find Aragorn?"

Legolas looked at him, "Yes, I found Aragorn and yes I was attacked. But, I was not attacked by Orcs, I was attacked by Aragorn." Legolas said the last part with disgust in his voice.

Frodo and the rest of the company were shocked, "Where is he now?" Sam asked quickly.

Legolas looked towards the forest "He ran off deeper into the woods, I don't know his plans. And, I don't know if he will return, and in my opinion, I hope he doesn't."
