_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Antonia woke up, and wished she hadn't. Pippin lay sprawled across her legs, Legolas was behind her, and...was that Merry drooling on her arm! She got up, kicked Legolas, kicked Merry, and stomped off, in discust. Hobbit spit! Ewww... Antonia jumped in the water fully clothed, and started to swim around.
"Antonia?" The voice came like swords into her brain.
"Shhh!" Antonia hissed, and dived under the water. She swam, slowly, enjoing herself in the cool river waters.
Suddanly, strong arms pulled her upward. Legolas looked into her eyes.
"Are you ok?"
"Piss off!" Antonia growled, shook him off, and dived under again. His hands found her and forced her up.
"Are you trying to drown?" Legolas asked, and she raised a eyebrow.
"No." Antonia kicked him. "I can swim."
Leaving him looking bewildered, she dived under, and surfaced far away. He followed, but Antonia just laughed, and swam off.
"Come back!"
"Shut the fuck up!" She yelled back. "I have a headache!"
Legolas sighed, and went back up to the camp. Merry was boiling water, and getting breckfast ready. Aragorn was snoring, Frodo was sitting looking haunted as usual, Pippin had curled up around his pack, Merry was now drolling on Pippin's legs, Gimli was looking bored. Lori and Boromir had vansished, for 'firewood'.
He took a seat next to Sam, and helped him start breckfast. Today would be warm, thankfully. Antonia wouldn't be cold, wet and hungover, just hungover. And probally splashing him and Gimli with water. He idley thought he should probally tell her that Dwarfs were scared of water...but if he did, she'd probally torment Gimli by rocking the boat...no. Not a good idea.
Antonia came back, and lay in the sunlight, like a cat. He smiled, letting his eyes run over her. She was so beautiful...and his. Legolas smiled warmly.
She came over, and took his hand in hers. He traced the veins with his fingers. To his delight, goosebumps popped up on her skin, at his touch, and she rested her head on his shoulder.
"I know how to deal with hangovers now." He whispered to her, softly.
"It's about time." She whispered back, nuzzling his neck. "But I cannot promaice that I won't splash Gimli, or rock the boat if he speaks too loudly."
Legolas pulled back, and stared at her. "How did..."
Antonia smiled. "Remember? I know many things about these people."
Legolas wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her hair. "Oh? What do you know about me?"
Antonia frowned. "You become good friends, and sail to the undieing lands together..."
"And you?"
"I don't know..." She whispered. "I know nothing of any love of yours."'
Legolas nodded. "Then you shall know. There was only you, and a she-elf, who captured my heart."
"What happened to her?"
"She...changed." Pain lay in the depths of his voice, and she kissed him. "She was not what I loved."
~~~~*~~~*~~~~
Lord Elrond's gaze fell over the cowering she-elf. She lay in a corner, in ragged garments.
"First Celebrian, and now this." He gave a dangerous whisper. "A child dead, two attemped killings, and a wounded family."
"But I didn't..."
"No more!" Elrond snapped. "I let you go once. I let myself belive you changed, once. No more. You are lucky my sons have not come, they have hunted orcs since Celebrian's torture, simiply for revenge. You will remain in the dungans here. For the rest of your life."
Jalanaina whimpered.
"Ana, come here child." Elrond led Ana out of the shadows, holding her son. "Ana and her son will now inherit all your belonings, and hereby on, your title as Lady of Elrond's house, is now stripped."
Jalanaina stared at the boy, noticing the one arm. Before, he'd been tightly wrapped for warmth.
"You did this. A half-elf boy, nevering beable to learn the bow and arrow." Ana snapped. "Do you honestly think Figwit would have loved you? After how you maniplated Legolas into loving you, so Elrond wouldn't condem you then?" Ana nodded. "I know about that too. Pathetic."
Elrond took the boy, and led Ana out.
~~~~*~~~*~~~~
Elrond hugged Ana when they got out, smiling. "There are other things Elves excell in."
"Such as?"
"Figwit is a healer, and a musiction as well as being skilled with the dagger." Elrond took her arm.
"Elrond?"
"Yes Ana?"
"Figwit and I would like to know if you would become Uueanor's godfather."
Elrond smiled again. "Of course!"
"So, what exactuly do we inherit off that bitch?"
"Oh...a estate in Rivendel, a home in Lorien..." Elrond wrapped a arm around her. "Enough for you, Lady Ana, and Lord Figwit to live happily ever after, with their son who will execel in healing like his father."
"Sounds good." Ana grinned. "Can I torture her? Wax her? Put bubble gum in her hair?"
"Uhhh..."
~~~~*~~~*~~~~
Later that day, Antonia had been forced to sit behind Frodo, Gimli had been getting so upset about the water. Antonia's hungover had numbed into a headache, so she was unsually happy.
She noticed how worried Frodo was getting, and started singing softly.
"So close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters
trust I seek and I find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters
trust I seek and I find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know
so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
no nothing else matters"
Frodo smiled at her gratefully, and relaxed slightly. Aragorn nodded to Legolas, who smiled proudly, at Antonia.
Lori laughed, and started singing her own song.
"I want to be a hippy!
I want to be a hippy!" Antonia started adding the background. They kept going, laughing.
~~~~*~~~*~~~~
Boromir kissed Lori tenderly. "My father will love you."
Lori sighed. "I'm sure he will."
"Then why the long face?" He wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I don't like knowing the future." She answered. "It sucks."
"Does the fellowship fail?"
Lori smiled through her tears. "You will know soon enough, my love."
Boromir sighed. "It does, dosnt it?"
Lori ran her fingers through his hair gently. "Do you doubt Frodo?"
"No...and yes." Boromir admited. "I belive I could control the ring...it would be an assest..."
"To evil." Lori finshed. "Look at yourself! Obsessed by a ring that caused so much pain!"
"But I could control it!" Boromir snapped, and sighed. "I want to protect my people. And your people, if you will have me."
"Boromir..." She whispered. "We can never get married."
"Why not?"
"I'm young! I don't want to start popping out the grandkids yet!" Lori smiled at his expression. "And in my world, it would be hard for you to learn how to live."
"That's not the real reason Lori."
"It's part of the reason..."
"I'm sure, I could handle your world. How hard could it be?"
Lori smirked. "You have no idea..."
~~~~*~~~*~~~~
The day had arived.
Legolas and Aragorn could hear the cries of the Orcs. After rowing for some time, they came to two tall statues, one on either side of the of the river. The men gazed upon them with admration in their eyes, but Lori & Antonia glared at them.
Aragorn shook Frodo. "Frodo. The Argornath. Long have I desired to look upon the Kings of old. My kin."
A while later, they stopped rowing near a waterfallm and rested on the westian shores.
Aragorn stood up, resuming his role as leader. "We cross the lake at nightfall, hide the boats, and continue on foot. We approach Mordor from the north."
Gimli looked up at him. "Oh, yes? Just a simple matter of finding our way through Emyn Muil? An impassable labyrinth of razor-sharp rocks? And after that, it gets even better! Festering, stinking marshlands, as far as the eye can see." Pippin's eyes had grown to the size of sausers by this time.
Aragorn looked down at him. "That is our road. I suggest you take some rest and recover your strength, Master Dwarf."
Gimli walked off. "Recover my... phfwahh..."
Legolas walked up to Aragorn, and looked around worridly. He muttered to Aragorn. "We should leave now."
Aragorn answered. "No. Orcs patrol the eastern shore. We must wait for the cover of darkness."
Legolas answred. "It is not the eastern shore that worries me. A shadow and a threat has been growing in my mind. Something draws near. I can feel it."
Gimli was still steaming. "Recover strength..." He looked at Pippin. "Pay no heed to that, young hobbit."
Merry called. "Where's Frodo?"
"Oh shit!" Lori swore, and took off. "Frodo! Boromir! I'm gonna slap you so hard..."
~~~~*~~~*~~~~
Aragorn and Antonia found a shaken hobbit up on the hill.
Aragorn called to him roughly. "Where is the Ring?"
Frodo looked at him with wide, hobbit eyes (A.N: Awww...) "Stay away!" He backed off.
Aragorn looked a little hurt. "Frodo! I swore to protect you."
Frodo looked up at him. "Can you protect me from yourself?!" He held out the ring. "Would you destroy it?"
Aragorn kneeled beside Frodo, and closed Frodo's hand over the Ring. Antonia let out a 'how sweet, as he added. "I would have gone with you to the end. Into the very fires of Mordor."
Frodo nodded. "I know. Look after the others. Especially Sam. He will not understand."
"You bettya." Antonia agreed with Frodo. "You'll never escape that one, Frodo dear."
Aragorn suddanly snapped "Go, Frodo. Run. Run!" Sting was blue.
Orcs can bee seen coming. Aragorn and Antonia walked to them, proudly, as they approched. They started to fight them, Aragorn pushing Antonia up the stone steps, as the orcs thickened around them.
One of the Uruk-Hai called out. "Find the Halfling! Find the Halfling!"
Aragorn called. "Elendil!"
Legolas, Lori and Gimli came to help Aragorn and Antonia, and she found herself watching Legolas fighting. He looked so good...A orc snapped her attentian back, as it attacked.
Legolas called to Aragorn and Lori "Go!"
~~~~*~~~*~~~~
Legolas, Gimli, Antonia and Aragorn hadn't gotten far when they heard Boromir's horn. Lori had gone, ignoring orcs running with her.
Legolas looked around. "The horn of Gondor."
Aragorn called. "Boromir!"
~~~~*~~~*~~~~
Boromir yelled at the hobbits. "Run! Run!"
Lori came running, as she saw the orc raise his bow.
"Asswhole! You will not kill Boro!" She screamed, and attacked his legs. A arrow went flying, and she found clinging to the orc's arm as he tried to shake her off. She went flying into a tree, and saw Boromir kneeling, as the orc lowered his bow to him.
Aragorn came running, and started fighting him. Lori crawled to Boromir.
"Hello." She whispered.
"Hello Lori." He answered, and to her delight, there were only two arrows in him, one in the shoulder, and the other close to the first.
"Will you live?"
"Possibly." He coughed, as Aragorn came over. His expression was less hopefull.
Boromir looked up at him in sorrow. "They took the little ones."
Aragorn looked at the arrows. "Stay still"
Boromir ignored him. "Frodo. Where is Frodo?" A slap from Lori. "Oww! Hey!"
Aragorn answered. "I let Frodo go."
Boromir's voice was breaking. "Then you did what I could not. I tried to take the Ring from him"
Aragorn answered him. "The Ring is beyond our reach now."
Boromir sighed. "Forgive me. I did not see it. I have failed you all."
Aragorn argued, "No, Boromir. You fought bravely. You have kept your honour." And went to take a arrow out of him.
Boromir stopped him. "Leave it! It is over. The world of Men will fall. And all will come to darkness. My city to ruin."
Aragorn sighed. "I do not know what strength is in my blood. But I swear to you, I will not let the White City fall. Nor our people fail."
Boromir smiled at that. "Our people. Our people." Aragorn gave him his sword.
Legolas, Antonia and Gimli ran up, to find Aragorn leaning over Boromir. Lori was whispering to Aragorn, who nodded.
Boromir sighed. "I would have followed you, my brother. My captain. My king."
Aragorn stood. "Be at peace, son of Gondor. Lori, will you be alright to take him back to Lothlorion?"
"Perfectly fine." Lori helped Boromir stand. "He can now be told the future of the ring."
Antonia smiled. "You saved him?"
"Let's hope so." Lori answered, grinning. "I didn't cling to the arm of a orc for nothing."
"You havn't lost my address?" Antonia asked.
"Nope. Still in my bag." Lori grinned and added. "And written on me in henna."
~~~~*~~~*~~~~
Lori and Boromir started upstream. Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli placed Boromir's sword, his horn, and the swords of the orcs he killed in a boat, with blood stained clothing, after Antonia told them they had to.
Legolas pushed a boat into the water. "Hurry! Frodo and Sam have reached the eastern shore."
Aragorn strapped on Boromir's gauentlts, with the crest of Gondor on them, determanation written on his face.
Legolas looked up. "You mean not to follow them."
Aragorn shook his head. "Frodo's fate is no longer in our hands."
"Then it has all been in vain. The Fellowship has failed." Gimli sighed.
Aragorn walked over to Gimli, Antonia and Legolas. "Not if we hold true to each other."
Gimli nodded.
Aragorn stood up taller. "We will not abandon Merry and Pippin to torment and death. Not while we have strength left. Leave all that can be spared behind. We travel light. Let's hunt some Orc."
Gimli laughed at this. "YES!!!"
Legolas looked at Antonia and smiled, as she grinned evily.
They started off.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Wohoo! New movie out soon! Untill then, we don't see Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn or Antonia, or Pippin, or Merry for a while. Frodo and Sam vanish until the third movie.
But, we still have Ana, Figwit, and soon Lori and Boromir will star in their own story. Yep! Fathers, cars, bills, politions, and other dangers await poor Boromir.
I love reveiws! It keeps me going! ^___^

But, we still have Ana, Figwit, and soon Lori and Boromir will star in their own story. Yep! Fathers, cars, bills, politions, and other dangers await poor Boromir.
I love reveiws! It keeps me going! ^___^
