Disclaimer-see chapter 1.
The dialogue will not be the same as that of the movie.
Ok, so on with the story.
They rowed for a few hours. Taking the pace easily and chatting amongst themselves. Legolas noticed the looks Aragorn was giving Boromir. He also saw the looks Boromir was giving Aragorn. He knew those looks well he knew full well what they meant as he had given them to Haldir when he first knew of his affections. It was a look of love. He was happy that the man had moved on and now he would be left alone. He had only been away from Haldir for a few hours but was missing him terribly. He felt like he had left his heart behind. It was true though. For wherever Haldir was, his heart would be.
They decided to rest on a beach and cross the river later on under the cover of darkness Aragorn was also hoping to speak to Boromir during the rest. Legolas didn't like the idea of resting as he felt a threat nearby.
"We should leave now."
"No we must wait till darkness. Orcs Patrol the eastern shore. We would be caught." Aragorn commanded.
"It is not the eastern shore that worries me."
Legolas walked away and sat down beside Gimli. He watched on as Aragorn looked round the camp, no doubt looking for Boromir.
"Hey, where's Frodo?" Merry asked. Knocking over a frying pan while looking around frantically.
Legolas saw a look of panic wash over Aragorns eyes. Boromir was missing. Aragorn ran off into the forest, followed by the entire fellowship.
Aragorn heard a shout and followed the prints left by his two travelling companions. He was scared that Boromir was doing what he thought he was doing. He could not let that happen. No matter how much he cared for the man.
He ran into a clearing and saw Frodo Lying on the ground.
"Frodo."
"Boromir tried to take the ring. It has taken over him." Frodo whispered. As he heard these words Aragorn felt like crying. His heart shattered into a billion pieces.
"Where is the ring?" Aragorn asked, fearing that Boromir had taken it.
"Stay away. You want it for yourself."
"I swore to protect you." Aragorn was relieved to know that Frodo had the ring. But he wasn't too happy about being accused of trying to take the ring.
"Would you destroy it?" Frodo asked. Fear shining in his eyes. Not sure if he really wanted to know the answer to his question.
Aragorn knew he had to let Frodo go alone. He could not let anything stop the hobbit. He knew that if the company went along they would all fall to the ring one by one.
"Yes and I would have gone with you to the end." Aragorn said, feeling emotion rise in his throat Frodo knew what Aragorn was thinking. For it had crossed his mind on more than one occasion. Frodo wiped his eyes and muttered something about Sam. Aragorn was anxious to find Boromir but was pretending to pay attention to the hobbit when he looked down and saw sting glowing. That meant only one thing. Orcs.
"Go Frodo, run."
Frodo looked down and saw sting. He turned and fled not needing to be told twice. One glance around saw the masses of troops after him. He prayed that the company would be safe, and that Aragorn would be able to hold the enemy off long enough.
Aragorn walked towards the advancing enemy and before he had time to think he was attacked. He hoped that Frodo would make it. He also hoped that Boromir made it, he didn't want to lose him. Its funny though Aragorn thought. He doesn't even know of my feelings.
He blocked several blows, and killed of a good many Uruk-Hai but they kept coming. When Legolas and Gimli came to his aid he felt like hugging them. Well he would of but he thought he should wait till after the battle. He noticed that there was still no sign of Boromir.
Then all of a sudden he heard the horn of Gondor. He knew what it meant.
"Aragorn go. We will follow" Legolas shouted while gutting an Uruk-Hai.
Aragorn ran, fighting those stupid enough to stand up to him. Knowing that the ones he missed would be killed by the others. He ran for what seemed an age but finally came to a clearing where dead Uruk-Hai lay. In the midst of them knelt a fallen Boromir with a nasty, vicious Uruk-Hai standing over him with an arrow pointed at his head. Aragorn saw a look of defeat and resignation sweep over the man's face. He decided to act and hopefully save the man that he had so many feelings for.
"Agh..." Aragorn cried as he ran to tackle his opponent. He heard the arrow fly but a split second later heard it hit a tree. He fought the beast with all the strength he could muster. After a few close hits he finally killed the foul beast and ran to the side of his fallen friend.
"I tried to take it.. I tried to take the ring from Frodo." Boromir spluttered, going into shock from the pain.
"Do not worry, Frodo is no longer here." Aragorn said, almost whispering.
"I'm sorry. I am sorry for putting you in a difficult position. I should have kept my feelings to myself." Boromir said, grasping the other man's arm.
"Do not feel sorry, for I feel the same way." Aragorn replied.
"What? You do?"
"Yes. I have been trying to tell you all day." Aragorn said, tears now spilling from his eyes. He tried to pull out an arrow from Boromir.
"Leave it. It is over. I am sorry for being so cold when we first met. But now that I know you, I would gladly call you my king, and my lover." Boromir coughed out. Aragorn bent down and kissed Boromir, for the first and last time. He could taste the blood on his lips as Boromir responded. As Aragorn pulled back he saw Boromir take his last breath and his hand go limp on his arm.
"Be at peace." Aragorn whispered.
Legolas had seen the whole thing. He felt hot tears run down his face as thoughts ran through his head. What if that had been Haldir, what if I lost him. He heard the words that were whispered and felt that he was to blame. If Aragorn had not been infatuated with him, they would be together. They would have had a chance.
Aragorn turned around when Gimli came crashing through the trees shouting.
"They have the little ones. I have just seen Sam and Frodo cross on one of the boats. They are heading to Mordor."
Aragorn didn't move. He looked back down to his love and felt the tears well up again.
"You mean not to follow them now?" Legolas asked, although he already knew the answer.
"We will honour Boromir then try to find Merry and Pippin. We cannot let the rest of this fellowship fail." Aragorn said, a tone of command in his voice. He turned and lifted up the body of Boromir and carried it to a Boat, where he lay trophies of his fallen enemies at the man's feet and the man's sword and horn lying on his breast. Gimli and Legolas walked behind of Aragorn, Each paying their respects in their own ways.
As the boat carrying Boromir went over the waterfall. Aragorn turned and started to walk. As he reached his companions he stopped. Breathing deeply as if to calm his nerves he turned and Grabbed each by the shoulder before saying softly, but sounding deadly.
"Let's hunt some Orc."
With that he sheathed his dagger and started running, with his friends in tow.
Tbc..
Well how do you all like the story? I have decided that this story is going to run the entire length of the book. Oh I am going to make a slight change to Eyown's choice of man. I am only doing that because it fits better with the next love interest for Aragorn. Once again I am sorry about the grammar. I still don't have a beta reader but I am working on it.
