Chapter 15
Nearly Drown
The two travelers rode on in silence, with Ami more or less lagging behind Legolas.
She would shut her eyes and take in deep breaths. It calmed her really.
Every once and a while, Legolas would start humming to himself, or even sing with words that were so enchanting Ami would find herself filled with so many emotions. She would wonder if the words he sang were meant for this purpose.
And as much as she thought his speaking voice beautiful, his singing voice was so...intoxicating! She found herself surrounded by his voice and it made her feel alive.
She looked on at him and felt herself smile inside. He was so handsome. Beautiful really, as he sat up straight and proud upon his steed, looking every bit the prince he was.
Soon Anor began to hide herself behind the distant mountains, and Legolas stilled his horse to make camp.
He turned in his saddle to look back at Ami, and she smiled at him. At first he was shocked that she smiled, but then he smiled in return.
He slid off the back of his horse and walked over to hers.
She took hold of his arms and let him bring her down to carry her to a fitted sitting spot.
For some reason, Ami felt as if her legs were strong enough to walk.
"Put me down Legolas, I wish to walk." Legolas took this as her escape from his arms and shook his head.
"Nay Neveth. No matter how much you hate to be in my arms, I will not leave you to crawl on your kneese-"
"No Legolas!" Ami laughed lightly at him. He was so terribly sweet.
"I truly wish to walk. My legs feel they have some strength in them, and I wish to see for myself." Legolas stopped and looked at her for a second. She smiled at him and he nodded.
He gently placed her down on her feet, and she was right. Her legs had regained some strength. Ami didn't know if it was from the fresh air, or Legolas' beautiful singing voice. Probably the latter.
She began to walk from him and then turned and smiled.
"See?" She said and he smiled as well. He nodded to her "Good, then maybe you can go in search of proper wood for a fire." He said, and turned to walk back to the horses to retrieve their camping gear.
"Legolas..." Legolas turned when he heard her call him.
She was looking down at the ground, but then found her way back to his eyes.
"I do not hate to be in your arms. I only wished to tell you that." She said, and then turned swiftly to look for the wood he ordered.
Legolas smiled as he watched her picking up various dead branches.
Maybe this would heal faster then he had thought.
~*~*~*~
When the camp had been set, and they had snacked upon Elvish waybread, Legolas laid back upon the sleeping blanket he had laid out for that use, with a big sigh.
Ami glanced at him, but then stood.
"I saw a lake not to far from here when I was in search for the wood. I think I shall go for a bathe." She said as she reached for her bag.
Legolas sat up. "Must you?" He asked and she looked at him weirdly.
"Nay I must not, but I want to." She said as she pulled another garment from her bag and began to walk away.
"Neveth!" Legolas yelled and stood to his feet. She stopped and turned to him.
"I do not think it wise you go alone, even though we are out of Rivendell, there are other dangers. And I do not believe you want me to go along, so is there a possibility you would want this another time?" he asked hopefully.
Ami laughed at him lightly.
"No Legolas, the next chance I get might not be until Nimrodel, and I do not wish to wait as long. Have no worries, you will be able to hear me from where you lay." She smiled at him, then again turned and headed for the lake.
Legolas sighed and gave up. He sat down by the fire and thought of nothing, but Nevethiriel.
~*~*~*~
Ami went under the cool fresh water and came up smiling. The water felt so good on her tense muscles. She began to swim around and she thought about Legolas.
She knew she was no longer mad at him, yet she didn't know when she could forgive him.
She sighed as she began to swim further out to the middle of the lake. The water began to lift her spirits and she began to sing. Twas a beautiful song, and Ami twirled in the waters as she sang.
~*~*~*~
Legolas glanced up when he heard her start to sing. He smiled to himself and laid back onto his blanket, listening to her beautiful voice.
The song went on and on, until it stopped. Legolas let out a sigh and sat up again. The fire needed to be fed.
~*~*~*~
Ami was singing and twirling when an all too familiar feeling began to form in her stomach.
She stopped singing and placed her hand to her stomach, praying to the valar it wasn't what she thought it was.
But to her dismay, the feeling began to grow until it felt like it was eating at her insides. Ami gasped and with all her might began to swim to the shore. She had not the wish to drown.
But she was too far and she cursed herself for not listening to Legolas.
She stopped and placed her hands to her stomach.
'Oh Elbereth! Not here!' She thought to herself. But it was no use. She went into a convulsion, and as she cried out in pain her head went under the water.
She was thrashing back and forth. The pain was so intense.
Air. She needed air. Her lungs were burning, crying out for it. She could get to the surface, and she definitely couldn't get to the shore.
She was going to die! She couldn't think on it. If she died like this Legolas would blame himself for sure. He was the only one that could save her. With this thought she tried to push past the pain and kicked her legs hard. She only had one chance, she better get it done, for the pain was so intense, she felt she would pass out any second.
She was nearing the surface.
'Come on Ami! You can do this!' She thought to herself.
And with one more kick she broke through to the surface.
As soon as she did she gasped for air and helplessly used it to save her life.
"LEGOLAS!" She screamed, and then went back under.
Pain. It consumed her. All was beginning to go black. She was passing out.
~*~*~*~
Legolas immediately dropped the sticks he had collected and ran in the direction of the lake.
He had heard her desperate call, and so many horrid thoughts went through his mind on what could be wrong with her.
"I'm coming Neveth!" He yelled as he ran swiftly by tree and bush.
He ran into he clearing of the lake, but she was nowhere to be seen.
"Neveth!" He yelled but no answer came.
"Oh Elbereth." He mumbled as he ran towards the water. He could feel her, and sense she was there.
He waded in and dove when it got to his waist.
When he surfaced, he had her in his arms and she gasped for air.
"Hold on Neveth, I have you. You are safe." He mumbled to her as he walked through the water.
He carried her to the shore and laid her down.
She laid on her back with her eyes closed, and heaved in deep breaths.
Legolas quickly drew his robe and laid it over her naked body.
He knelt beside her and took her face in his hands.
With all the effort she could muster, she opened her eyes. When she saw his beautiful face filled with concern looking at her, she smiled weakly.
Legolas sighed in relief and rested his head on her forehead with his eyes closed.
He thought he had lost her. He could never explain that feeling. Nor did he ever try to.
~*~*~*~
That evening Ami laid by the fire on her blanket. She watched the dancing flames and listened to the steady rhythm of the air she breathed.
She had nearly almost died. She was so thankful for the air that flowed through her lungs. And for her hero. Ami glanced up at Legolas, and he was staring at her.
She smiled, and he smiled back.
She reached her arms up to him and he came down to her.
She pulled him into a kiss.
"I forgive you Legolas." She whispered into his ear when she pulled back. He smiled down at her and leaned down, pulling her into another kiss. Ami put her hand on his head, turning their kiss into a mess full of passion.
That night they both slept peacefully in each other's arms.
Ami sighed and turned in her sleep. She snuggled deeply into Legolas' arms and nuzzled her face in his neck.
She took in his scent and smiled.
She was happy she chose to forgive him.
~*~*~*~
From then on, Legolas didn't let Ami out of his sight, and she didn't mind.
Their journey was a long one, but they were nearing their destination.
Legolas stilled his hours and Ami let hers walk up till they were side-by- side.
She smiled and looked over to him, but his eyes were scanning what was in front of them.
An open field, filled with various beautiful colored flowers. He then glanced at her and she smirked at him.
He raised an eyebrow and she laughed.
"Niro lim Culadar!" She yelled to her horse and she took off. Legolas laughed and leaned down to his.
"Niro lim Ainaethir!" He said and his horse took off after them.
Ami was laughing and glancing over her shoulder.
Legolas' horse was catching up to her, and soon he was right beside her.
He looked over to her and smiled.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement and she laughed.
"Niro lim!" She said to her horse and Culadar sped up.
Ami of course won and she jumped from her horse triumphantly.
Legolas laughed and jumped down from his as well.
He pulled her into his arms and swung her around.
When he released her they looked around them. They had entered the woods and Ami took in a deep breath.
The smell was beautiful, and familiar.
She looked over at Legolas and smiled. She reached over and took his hand as they headed into the woods together, leading their now sweating horses.
