From Bottom To Top

~ Present ~

Kristy followed the man down the hall to his room.

"I'm not kidding you touch me, I'll kill you." Kristy threatened once again.

"Ok, I promise, I won't touch you. I'll sleep here, on the floor." The ranger held his hands up to show he meant no harm and grabbed his blanket off the bed and settled himself on the floor a good ways away from Kristy on the bed.

"Can I ask you something?" The ranger asked.

"I guess." Kristy rolled over to face the ranger on the floor.

"Why are you, an elf, and your friend traveling alone?" The ranger made himself comfortable on the floor.

"Uh, we're just traveling through." Kristy lied and rolled back over.

"Oh, ok." The ranger nodded, though he didn't believe her, and she looked somewhat familiar.

Aegnor led Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas to where most of the other rangers and men of the Rohirim where camping out.

"Here's a spot for you guys, see you later." Aegnor called as he went to find his own spot among the many men.

"This is sad, I'm the King of this land I and I have to sleep outside in the dirt." Aragorn thought this was all a bit comical but wasn't really complaining.

"Do you want to go back to your castle?" Legolas asked.

"No, that place brings back bad memories." Aragorn shook his head.

"Didn't think so. You know, I can't stop thinking about the girls." Legolas said as he laid down on his blanket.

"I know, and this place brings back lots of memories." Aragorn nodded.

"What?" Legolas asked looking a bit disgusted.

"Not this place but Gondor in general." Aragorn said, quite defensively.

"Ok, just checking." Legolas stared up at the stars and was beginning to feel quite relaxed when.

*SNORT*

Gimli let out a nice loud, and very annoying snore.

"Hit him." Aragorn commanded and Legolas gladly walloped the dwarf on the side of his head.

Gimli snorted once again and rolled over, to remain quiet for about another ten minutes.

~ Flashback about 4 years ago ~

Aragorn arrived back at his castle looked a little dazed.

"Aragorn, you all right there?" Legolas asked as he and Gimli left the dining hall.

"Yea, I just saw.the one." Aragorn smiled.
