Chapter 14

Thursday- I have no idea what time it is and I am too lazy to find out.

            Dear journal,

Hi. I had just gotten this journal from Lord Elrond, and am planning on writing everyday in it.  We are planning on leaving in about 30 minutes and I am writing this in the stables. 

Last night, was odd. I was avoiding Legolas and big figure; he comes to the library- where I was at the time.  I thought that I had made it clear that I was mad at him, but apparently not clear enough for both of us. He asked for forgiveness and when I had said no, he has gotten on his knees and begged. It was priceless. Of course I felt too bad I forgave him and when I went to place the book back in its spot, he kissed me. I had no idea what to do. 

I thought that I liked Faramir, but then Legolas comes and kisses me. I don't know what to do! Oops! Here comes the elf himself.  And everyone else is coming. Great. Well I will write more tonight. I have to go now. Ariel

I scribbled down the last part of it and stuffed the journal into my saddlebag and smiled at all of them.  Silently we led out horses out of the stables and stood at the gate.  Elrond surveyed each of us and smiled. "I had hoped that we would never have to do this again but we must. I wish all of you good luck and a safe journey. Return as soon as you can and may the Valar bless you." He smiled at me and we mounted up.  Gandalf gave a nudge to Shadowfax who leapt off and we followed. Arwen and I were at the back and following at a quick trot. 

Not an hour after we had left, Pippin looked at Arwen and whined, "We've missed second breakfast!" Faramir winced and turned back to me. I grinned at him as he rolled his eyes.

"Pippin we have already eaten." Arwen sighed. Pippin groaned but didn't say anything else. We rode in silence for a while. and then stopped about an hour before dark. The sun was already beginning to set and we halted. We were at the edge of a small wood, and a stream ran through the middle of it.  Our horses were tired and I couldn't blame them.  Merry and Pippin had left their horse to drink while they began to eat. We all unsaddled our horses, and the horse I had brought, Flame nickered softly. She butted her head against me chest and I laughed. The other horses were already unsaddled and drinking by the river.  I took off the bridle and hefted up my packs over my shoulders.

I turned to face Faramir. "Hello." He said warmly. He brushed a kiss on my lips and looked down at me. "Gandalf says that we will arrive soon, and that we have no need to unpack more than sleeping gear, and the food. We leave at first light tomorrow." His blue eyes watched me and I suddenly remembered Legolas, and what had happened in the library. Something must have showed in my eyes because he pulled away slightly. "Something wrong?" he asked.

 I glanced behind him to the circle of hobbits, and elves that were sitting around the fire that Gandalf had made. A blond headed elf (A/N.Gee wonder who…) watched me with a sad look on his face, the firelight casting a flickering glow on his face.  I snapped my attention back to Faramir. "Nothing, I am just tired." I smiled at him and he nodded. I could tell he didn't believe that I was telling the truth. He gave me a small smile and walked back to the fire to start our dinner. 

It was a good thing that I didn't have to cook, because if I did, the orcs, and the enemy wouldn't have to kill us. My cooking would do the job for them.

 I smiled slightly and walked over to the fire. It was not cold out but I figured that it would get colder as the night went on.  I sat by Arwen and avoided eye contact with Legolas and Faramir.  I don't know why I was so edgy. I had had boyfriends at my school, but not a lot. I should have been used to this. What is my problem?

We ate mostly in silence and then handed out watch assignments. We would have two people at a time on watch, and only 3-hour shifts.  Gimli was pared with Pippin, Merry was with Gandalf, and Arwen was with Faramir. And I…. was with Legolas.  Faramir did not happy either with the arrangement but said nothing. I unpacked my sleeping bag, and set it down by the fire.  I had third watch. All of us (except Merry and Gandalf) were lying in a circle around the fire. Now that I was an elf, I slept with my eyes open, which really freaked me out.  I told Arwen so when we were lying down and she laughed.

"Why is that so unappealing to you?" she asked.  Arwen rolled over in her sleeping bag and propped herself up on one elbow. I smiled. "Don't know. Just strikes me as sort of odd."  I flopped on my back and stared up at the stars. It was amazing how everything was magnified without all of the pollutants in the night sky.  Everything was so amazing, the sights, the people. I sneaked a glance at Legolas who was staring at the stars. I tore my eyes away and looked at Faramir, who looked like he was asleep.  I blushed slightly and tried to keep my thoughts straight.

'This is not fun! Why do both Faramir and Legolas like me?  And why didn't Legolas say anything about it in the first place? Why cant life be as easy as it was when I was in regular earth? Arg.' I sighed and tried to fall asleep.

 It felt like to way to soon, Legolas woke me up and said we had watch right now.  I groaned softly and grabbed my sleeping bag, pulling it as close as I could around my body. I knew that we had gone to bed about 8:00pm so I figured that it was about 4 in the morning. Lovely. I settled down as far from Legolas as I could and tried to be discreet. Yeah, like I have a discreet bone in my body. He gave a tiny smile in my direction before turning to keep watch. I knew that he noticed. Wonderful. And I had to deal with him and Faramir, the whole way. Lovely.

Thanks for reading- need reviews to continue!!
