Chapter 15
Friday still do not know anything else.
Dear journal,
Not much going on here. This is the second day of our journey, and everyone is somber but trying to make the best of it. Arwen is quiet for the most part, and Gandalf is as well. Not a mean quiet, just reserved. Faramir is constantly by my side and is nice to talk to. I am unsure on what I am expected to do. What was I thinking, staying here? I mean I have learned so much, and yet I still want to go home. Not a lot but a bit. I want to know how my family is doing and how my friends are.
One the whole subject of Legolas and Faramir I am trying to decide on whether or not to kill them or maim them. I swear though, if Legolas gets a hold of him… Valar help us all. They are sending each other death glares, and I am annoyed. If either of them make a move to kill each other I am going to let them. Sheesh! I swear...
Wow I feel better. I am tired and I believe that everyone else is too. Arwen is quiet most of the time and rarely gives her 2 cents about anything. Gimli is gruff, but kinder than he lets on. Not that he would admit it. Oh well dinner is over, I can write more tomorrow.
Bye,
Ariel

Saturday
Hey, we have stopped for the night and I am so glad. Seems like everyone but Arwen, Legolas, and me smell. First, Merry and Pip pushed Gandalf into a river that we were crossing. He emerged wet and seriously angry. Faramir and Gimli were already across, so they were laughing like the rest of us. Then, it was about noon when we had lunch. Those hobbits put frogs that they had caught in the river, in Arwen's pack. (I think that Legolas had given them the idea, from the look on his face.) But the look on her face was priceless. She jumped straight up and screamed. When she went for her sword, Merry and Pip ran like Sauron was after them.
We all had another good laugh. (This was after Arwen had chased them threatening to skewer them on the tip of her sword and leave them for the orcs.) When they came back, apologies were made, all of them by the hobbits. I was stiff, and sore from the riding and could barely mount. What I would give for some aspirin. Anyways, when I cursed, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to find Faramir standing there with a smile on his face.
**Flashback**
"Sore?" he asked amused. Ariel rolled her eyes at him. "What gives you that idea?" she replied sarcastically. He laughed. "Here let me help you up."
Faramir made a foothold with his hand and helped boost her up on to Flame. "Thanks." She smiled at him, and he took her hand and brushed another kiss, on the palm this time. "Of course." And then he left. (Ya know what? He has a nice butt!)
**End flashback**
I smiled at him and then we rode. For the most, part the journey was quiet. Merry and Pip, were both staying away from Gandalf and Arwen. I really could not blame them. I wouldn't want to get either of them mad at me. Shows that I am smarter than hobbits. What a revelation.
I will write more tomorrow.

Sunday-after nightfall.
Hello. Just another wonderful day in Middle Earth hot, sticky and musty. We have been traveling for what seems like ages. The two brats pulled yet another prank. Gimli was just coming back from his bath, which he needed desperately. And the rest of us were lounging about. I was drawing and Faramir was sitting behind me, watching.
**Flashback**
"How much longer until we get to the mountain pass?" I asked softly. Faramir was resting against a tree, and I was leaning against his chest. My hair was pinned up, and out of my face. "I do not know. I have never been this far. I assume maybe a week or so more." I relaxed my head against his shoulder and closed my eyes. It was dark, and we had already stopped for the night. I felt his arms drape over my shoulders, and I snuggled back into him. The quiet moment was shattered by a loud scream. I jumped up and my eyes locked on an amusing sight.
Gimli was jumping up and down in a crazed circle, waving his hands up and down, all while shrieking at the top of his dwarf lungs. "Dear Valar! Heeeelllppp! Spiders! Ai! Ai! They are huge! Help!!!"(A/N. I had read the FotR and in it, Legolas said that, when the balrog was after them. I couldn't resist poking fun at him.) He began madly shaking and I noticed that Merry and Pippin were laughing hysterically, while edging away. Putting 2 and 2 together Gimli brushed his hands down him once more and then in a quick movement grabbed his large broad sword, and gave a loud war cry. The two hobbits ran for their lives.
I can't forget the look on everyone's faces as we watched the stout, seriously pissed dwarf chase them around the camp, finally coming to a stop behind Legolas. I grinned in spite of my self and turned back to Faramir. He had his hand on his face and shook his head, his copper hair swinging gently. "We're next." He muttered softly. I chuckled and looked up at him. He bent down and pulled me to him. His lips met my own and everything faded out of sight. My total concentration was on his lips touching mine. His mouth pressed mine, tongue licking my lower lip quickly, causing me to gasp. He took advantage of my open mouth to make the kiss much deeper, his tongue dueling with mine. He pulled back gently so we could both catch our breath. "Well." I whispered. I was shaking slightly in reaction, and made the mistake of looking into his eyes. I drowned in them as he bent forward and kissed me again.
I was totally unaware of Legolas watching in shock and jealousy at the other side of the camp. Everyone else was watching in amusement while the hobbits were making catcalls. Legolas stiffened in anger and Arwen placed a hand on his shoulder. He jerked away and stormed off into the forest.
**End**
Nothing big happened between us. But when we broke away I realized what had happened. Legolas was hurt, in more ways than one, and I had caused it.
Bye.
Ariel
Ohhh. Man Legolas is mad, and sad. What ever shall he do? Will they take the pass of Moria, like they had intended to before, in FotR? Or will they go to the mountain. Duh duh duh. I may take a while to update. We have terra nova testing this week… lord give me strength. Lol. Reviews now!!!!
