A/N: OK, don't kill me. I know I haven't posted in several months, but
blame it entirely on my computer (well the last three days you can blame on
me, but all the rest, blame the computer). It's been broken this whole time
and I just got it fixed. I'm kind of bored with this story, because I
haven't gotten to any of the interesting parts yet. It's just kind of Blah
right now. It doesn't really get good until Lothlorien *giggles manically
at plot twist coming up*. So I don't have much of a drive to work on this.
But once it gets good I'll probably post more diligently. And I promise to
you I will not have another long period of no posting (unless my computer
dictates otherwise). OK, enough of me, onto the long awaited chapter 5.
Disclaimer: In case you forgot since I last posted, No, I don't own LotR, as much as I would like to. I do however own a Legolas action figure, a LotR poster, and FotR DVDs (both editions), oh, and I own Kaiti. I don't even own William, because he's his own person. But you're probably tired of listening to my ramble, so here's chapter 5.
Chapter 5:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Are you aware of what you make me feel, baby
Right now I feel invisible to you, like I'm not real.
Why should I care
Cuz you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone
You, you need to listen I'm starting to trip,
I'm losing my grip and I'm in this thing alone.

The Company walked on for the next several days in much the same way; William in front with Aragorn and Gandalf, the hobbits and Bill in the middle, and Kaiti in back with Boromir and Legolas. Occasionally the order would switch around, but Kaiti and William were always on opposite ends of the lineup, more out of choice than force. As they traveled the only communication that transpired between the two being the occasional glare, everyday the snow deepening around them. This, of course, led to a lot of thinking and counting on Kaiti's part.
'Does Boromir really have to die?' Kaiti wondered as they trekked up the mountain slope. She spent a lot of time talking to him over the lasty few days and realized he was not as much of a selfish jerk as he seemed to be in the movies. He was more proud and noble, like in the book. He seemed to really actually want just to protect his city.. 'It would be a lot easier to let him die if he were a jerk.'
"So this ring, it can like, rule everything?" Kaiti overheard William asking Aragorn. She rolled her eyes and muttered,
"Thank you Captain Obvious." Unfortunately, Legolas heard her last comment.
"Your fight will end sooner if you talk to one another." He stated. Have to love that Elven hearing.
"You can't talk to him. It's like trying to talk to a fence post. No wait, I just insulted fences posts everywhere, because fence posts actually serve a purpose. He's like a freestanding fence post, one with nothing attached to it, not holding anything up, or protecting anything. It just sticks up out of the ground as the wind blows pointlessly around it." She replied.
"Those are harsh words," Boromir cut in, "Are you sure they are rightly placed?"
"Meaning." Kaiti prodded him to elaborate.
"Meaning does he deserve your wrath?"
"Of course he does!!!" Kaiti answered angrily, "Did you hear what he said?!"
"I believe most of middle earth heard, although I must admit I did not understand it all."
"Exactly! You don't understand! So you can't fix it! Don't go dippin' in the Kool-aid unless you know the flavor!" Boromir sent a rather puzzled look over Kaiti's head to Legolas. He just shook his head and kept walking.
Kaiti scowled and stomped on, glaring at William at every available opportunity. Meanwhile William was having a somewhat different conversation with Aragorn and Gandalf.
"Yes, that's right. It could rule everything." Aragorn answered William.
"OK, well then why don't the good guys use it against Senor Evil, then destroy it after he's gone?" William asked.
"Because the Ring itself is evil. Anyone who bears it will eventually succumb to it's power. The Ring and the Enemy are one. He will not truly be gone until the Ring is destroyed." Gandalf replied.
"How do you not know this already?" Aragorn asked, "Has Miss Kaiti not informed you?"
"NO! She won't tell me anything! And when she talked about it back home I never really listened. I never expected I'd actually NEED this information." He answered.
"Well perhaps that is where your problem lies." Aragorn offered.
"What?" William asked, not grasping what the ranger was trying to say.
"You said you never really listened. Maybe if you listened to her more often you wouldn't be in the situation you find yourself in." He explained. William pondered on this for a second. The thought had never occurred to him. Actually, looking back on their time at home she had said many times that he never listened.
'Did you listen? NO! Do you ever listen? NO!' He remembered her saying so many times. But wait a minute, HE was mad at HER. She didn't have any right to be angry with him! He hadn't done anything! And he said as much to Aragorn.
"Think back to your quarrel. Maybe she was trying to tell you something that she didn't come out right and say." Gandalf advised.
"I have never seen a woman attack so viciously without proper reason." Aragorn added.
William really had to think about this. Had she been trying to tell him something? Did he just miss it? He'll have to start listening more.

Alright, there's chapter five. It was going to be longer but, I cut off some of the end and put it onto next chapter. By the way, this chapter was only 2 written pages (front and back), the next chapter is 5. Hopefully I'll have six out soon.
One more order of business before I let you go. NO ONE found the secret phrase last time. It was "You mock my pain" from The Princess Bride, spoken by Kaiti, right before she kicked the crap out of William. There isn't a phrase in the this one because it was in the part that I put onto next chapter. Alright, that out of the way there's only one thing left to do REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW!!! (they motivate me to type faster)
