The Lord of the Bling Bling Ring
Chapter 7- What a Journey
I have come to the conclusion that the title of this story has nothing to do with it the story. Oh well.
There we were walking, and walking, and walking. We walked so much that my feet got so sore and got blisters. I could feel the raw skin rubbing back and forth as I walked. None of the walking seemed to effect anyone else except Tiffany and I, and the hobbits. After a few more hours the men and the dwarf seemed to get more tired. Gandalf amazingly didn't seem as tired as they did. Legolas didn't even look any bit tired. He probably could have walked for several days straight. Finally the sun started to go down and Gandalf decided we would stop for camp. We were in a field that had scattered flowers all around. It was extremely lovely as they began to build a very small fire. They didn't want to get a big fire because it might cause attraction to certain unwelcome beings. And at that moment I felt coldness in my stomach. For some reason I had never remembered the fact that there was ring wraiths that would be searching for us. I was in a horrible day dream about that as I sat next to the fire. They decided that Aragorn would keep watch first (Tiffany volunteered her assistance to this). Lying down in the soft grass I looked up at the stars that were glittering in the sky above. It was all very enchanting just to think about it. Frodo sat down next to my side and we talked about the stars. I sat up and soon Sam came over and joined us along with Merry and Pippin. It was most enjoyable to talk to all of them. Tiffany sat next to Aragorn as they talked and kept watch. I knew how much she liked him and obviously he liked her a lot too. Across of the hobbits and me sat Gandalf smoking hobbit's weed. Next to him sat Legolas and on his other side sat Gimli and Boromir. They were discussing something but I could have cared less.
Never in my life had I been someplace that felt so comfortable. These people, elf, dwarf, and hobbits were growing on me. My feelings for them increased all the time. I sat there thinking about this as Pippin began talking about his love of mushrooms again. Looking over I noticed Boromir. It hadn't even occurred to me. I knew what his fate was in the end. It began frightening as I stared at him realizing how unaware of this all he was. He had a smile on his face as he sat there as him and Gimli were joking about something. All I felt as this moment was sympathy. But I looked back at the hobbits realizing there was nothing I could do for him, which filled me with more sadness. We sat there talking and laughing. But then Gandalf decided we should get some rest so we lay down. On one side of me was Pippin and on the other side was Frodo. Soon their little hobbit snores filled the air, as I lay there awake deep in thought. Soon Tiffany came and lay down near me and we talked in whispers trying not to wake anyone, but then she also drifted off to sleep. I watched as Aragorn went to lie down and Legolas went over and stood in the spot where Aragorn had been sitting to keep watch. Deciding I couldn't sleep I got up and walked closer to the tiny remnants of the fire and began to warm my hands over them. Legolas turned and looked at me and gave me a small smile and I smiled back. It felt odd to be on friendly terms with him now. After I finished warming my hands I walked around a bit looking at some of the flowers which you could see easily under the bright stars and large moon. I looked up at the moon and I realized how I missed my world. Nothing about this world made any sense. We never did find out what happened when we got taken here, and I was missing my parents (didn't know why).
There I stood in my sadness and misery when I had a chance of a lifetime. Legolas walked over and looked at me then said in a soft voice, "You're crying." Looking over at him I took my sleeve and wiped my eyes and tried to smile a little but I just ended up crying more like a baby. He put his arm around me and sort of did his attempt to a comforting hug, I appreciated it regardless. "What's the matter?" he asked in his same soft voice. "I don't know, I guess I just miss my family or something," I replied in a shaky voice. He fastened him arm more around me and held me a bit closer and whispered, "Don't worry. Once this is all over you can return to them once more." If only he had known. But I nodded and wiped my eyes some and he took his arm off me and smiled at me. I smiled back and went back closer to the small fire again but I didn't return to the spot I had originally been, I chose a spot a little farther from the hobbits and I laid closer to where Legolas stood. He made me feel a lot safer and better and I didn't understand this all.
I guess I had drifted off to sleep because the next morning came extremely fast. We were up again journeying over hills and through woods. It seemed that on these first two days nothing had happened. We never came across anything. It was always the same. I didn't expect it to be like this forever. The farther we got the less safe it would be. We would stop and eat a little bit once in a while, so we wouldn't get weak. Aragorn always walked along with Tiffany and they would talk. I never did know what they talked about she never mentioned it. Most the time I walked with Gandalf as we discussed the places we would be going through. We walked again for what seemed like an eternity that day. We finally stopped to rest earlier than what we had the previous night. We stopped in the woods that were near what seemed like a small lake of fresh clear water where there was a small waterfall. They set up a tiny fire like the one from the night before as Tiffany and I went over to look at the water. It was crystal clear and you could see your reflection in it perfectly.
We got some to drink and went back to where they had set up the fire and had started making sausage. We all got some sausage and as I bit into it I cursed, "Damn it! This is hot!" Everyone except Tiffany looked at me like I was a nut as I went and ran over to the water again and started drinking it. I returned to them as they all stared at me and i said, "It's okay now. I'm fine." They continued eating (the hobbits at a most rapid pace). When we were all done they began singing songs. Sam sang a song that he had learned from Bilbo. He had an extremely good memory for that sort of thing. It was very good as we listened to him recite funny lines from the song. We all sat in a large circle. On my right side sat Tiffany and on my left sat Legolas. It was extremely fun that night as we told stories. Gandalf told a wonderful tale about some horse he had known. Some of the time I wasn't paying attention but I tried to. Then later Gimli sang a song about dwarves. It wasn't supposed to be a funny song but I wanted to laugh a lot because it was all rather silly. Soon when we were done I decided to go sit by the water and listen to trickling down from some rocks where the waterfall was. It was gorgeous looking as the stars reflected in the water. I looked back towards camp and I saw Tiffany leaning against Aragorn and I smiled. It made me happy to see her happy. Sitting there I listened to the water more for a long while. It was a comforting sound.
Later Legolas approached me and sat down next to me. It seemed like he didn't ever really sit that much. He put his hand in the water for a moment and swished it back and forth then took his hand out again. "It's a nice night," he said as he looked up at the sky. "That it is," I replied as I watched him look at the stars. By far he was the most beautiful elf I had seen so far. He knew I was looking at him because he then turned and looked back at me. I felt a little stupid so I looked back at the water. He began taking off his shirt, which frightened me so I said quickly, "What the hell are you doing?" He looked at me with a grin and said, "I'm going swimming!" in a very enthusiastic voice. He then leaped into the water and started swimming around. Laughing a little as I watched him swim around it was very amusing. It came to me how nicely built he was. But I tried not to look too much (I'm a red-blooded female here, give me a break). Then he swam back over to where I sat and said, "You should really come in. It's really pleasant." Very tempting that was, but I shook my head as he said, "Come on!" I still shook my head and he said, "Get in here or I'll make you take your clothes off!" (Oh boy if I had a nickel for every time a guy said that to me). So in the end I agreed and I took off my regular clothes and jumped into the water in my under slip. It was quite safe to wear this because it was made like a regular dress. He was right, it was pleasant. We sat in the water and talked. Never had I had such a conversation with him. But soon Gandalf alerted us that it was no time to go taking baths and it was time to stay up and keep watch. He handed us first duty since we seemed to have so much energy. We got out soaking wet and walked back over to the camp. I had to stay up in my under slip because I had to let it dry so I could put my regular clothes on again. It made me feel rather stupid as I approached the camp and Tiffany looked at me very questioningly.
I sat on a log next to the fire with Legolas since we had to stay up and watch. Then I looked over to Tiffany who had just gotten a goodnight kiss from Aragorn and I saw her turning red as they both laid down (Oh how I could tease her about all this in the future). Everyone seemed to fall asleep quicker than usual that night. Legolas and I continued talking until Boromir came because it was his time to keep watch. So we both lay down. I was going to lay down next to Tiffany but she was laying next to Aragorn and that would have made me feel just plain weird, so I went and laid down away from everyone in my own little spot. Legolas came and laid somewhere near my feet. Soon I drifted off to sleep.Crunch.Crunch crunch.Crunch crunch crunch.
My eyes opened as I saw Frodo wandering around nervously. Getting up I walked over to him and asked, "Is everything all right?" He looked at me and said back in a very small voice, "Bad nightmare," he replied nervously. I walked back to wear I had been lying down glad that it had been nothing important. I looked at Legolas who lay there with open eyes on the sky. Then I lay down in my original spot not able to sleep. Tossing and turning I finally gave up and sat up. Frodo was still awake too; his nightmare had obviously upset him a lot. Legolas who never slept he said, "Trouble sleeping?" as I nodded my head. "It's going to be morning soon anyway," he said as he stood up looking around. I got up too and noticed the sun was rising up above the trees. Soon everyone had awoken and we ate some more sausage quickly and began walking again.
Today Tiffany and I walked together as we journeyed through the woods. "So," she said casually, "why were you all wet last night and in your under garment?" I laughed a little and responded, "Wouldn't you like to know." She looked at me suspiciously and said, "I would like to know." Laughing some more I said, "Okay I'll tell you." She looked at me very carefully and seemed to be hanging on my words. "I went in the water last night." Her eyes widened as she asked, "With Legolas?" I nodded slowly. She got into an extreme fit of giggles. "Oh shut up," I said to her while she was laughing hysterically, "At least he didn't give me a goodnight kiss." Her giggling stopped as she turned red and said nothing. It seemed as though we had come to a silent agreement that we wouldn't talk about that anymore.
So we continued walking.
Well Tiffany and Aragorn have something going on, I've grown fond of Legolas, Frodo is extremely worried, and Gandalf is being bossy.
Oh the possibilities!
