Well here's the next. Again sorry for the wait. I'm busy doing one of my
other stories. Anyway, it's still not mine and here's the next chapter.
Chapter 16
Buffy watched as Faith greeted Legolas. Damn, she thought, he's drop dead gorgeous. No wonder Faith's mad about him. It was blatantly obvious that her feelings were returned. As they were travelling back to where Travers lived Legolas held onto Faith's hand as though he would never let go, and that was without the looks he was giving her.
Buffy smiled, she was glad that Faith had someone who adored her. She turned away and looked out of the window, still smiling. Although in the back of her mind she wished that it was her Legolas was looking at and not Faith.
Buffy wasn't the only slayer who was watching Faith and Legolas with envious eyes. Kendra was not above appreciating Legolas nor for that matter was Mari, whose mouth had hit the floor when Legolas walked in to the hospital room. Her admiring eyes changed when she saw the way he had greeted Faith. Mari was jealous. Very jealous. And unbeknownst to the rest of the group she was already planning ways of getting Legolas for herself.
The new slayer however had barely noticed Legolas, or the rest of the fellowship. She had kept herself to herself throughout all that had happened. She knew who each slayer was though, including the one called before her. She felt her failure badly. How could I have been so stupid to let myself get caught? She asked herself. They must think I'm so stupid. It's all my fault.
She turned to look out of the window, outwardly calm but her thoughts continued revolving around in her mind. I wish I had never been called. I wish I wasn't the slayer. I'm not as good as any of them. She took a breath and glanced at her watcher who was driving. She caught his eye in the mirror for a moment before looking away. And he thinks the same thing as well.
***
Finally they arrived at their destination. Once back inside Travers began to explain that the only way to return to where each slayer belonged was to find the creature who brought them here and reverse the spell he had cast.
"So let me get this straight." Faith said as she looked at the watcher in disbelief. "You want us to find the thing that wants to kill us and then politely ask him to reverse his spell? Am I the only one who thinks there might be a slight flaw in looking for the creature who wants to finish his spell with us?"
Travers glared at Faith. "Do you have a better plan Faith?"
"Well I was thinking that you could go instead. Take a more active role in your watching for a change. Whaddya say?"
"No wonder the council tried to purge you from the history of the slayers. You are a disgrace to the name. You and your..."
"Enough!" Aragorn said, stepping in before Legolas used the sword his hand was reaching for and beheaded Travers. "I think we should rest for tonight and plan on the morn. There are still those among us who are injured." He said gesturing towards Kendra.
Kendra blushed still unused to any man addressing her directly other than her watcher. Buffy rolled her eyes, "You're not still shy are you?" She whispered to Kendra as they began to prepare for bed.
"I never had the chance to talk to any man other than my watcher. " She answered, and then cringed as Aragorn approached her.
"May I see your injuries, Lady?" He asked. "I am no elf but I have some of their healing arts."
Buffy nudged Kendra forward, still grinning to herself over Kendra's obvious embarrassment. "Yeah, you should let him take a look Kendra," Buffy said, before turning to Aragorn. "She was just saying how much it ached."
Kendra glared at Buffy as Aragorn led her away. Buffy waved back mischievously, she sighed as she settled down on the makeshift bed Travers had made up for her. Not too bad, she thought as she felt all her muscles begin to relax, would have preferred my own elf to snuggle up to though. And with that thought she drifted off to sleep.
Aforementioned elf was giving Faith a much needed massage. Legolas smiled as he worked out the tension in Faith's muscles, glad to finally have her back again. Although this is different to where I belong, he frowned. He heard Faith's breathing settle into that of someone who is fast asleep and smiled again. I have her back, I will worry about getting her home tomorrow. He settled down next to her in the sleep of elves as was his custom. Yet he kept his senses alert as he slept. The man Travers, I do not trust him. If he hurts Faith he will regret it, Legolas swore to himself before drifting off into a restful sleep.

Hmm. Anyone want something between Kendra & Aragorn? Technically they're both dead so there's no Arwen to worry about. Any other pairings you fancy? Gimli & Mari? Now that might be interesting! R&R please!
