Hey Everyone! I'm back and I've written some more chapters of this fanfic!
Yay! More for you to read and review on!
Disclaimer: I don't own Lord of the Rings nor Legolas (even though I wish I did!) All I own is, me, Natalie!
********************
I woke up in a start. My sheets were all tossed around and sweaty. I looked at my cell phone. It said that it was 2:30. I had been asleep only for an hour. I got up and looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes were all red. Great. Just great. I thought. I decided to go on a walk because I didn't want to fall asleep again.
I thought about my dream as I walked. My dream had been really disturbing. I had dreamt that I was walking to Jessica's house, when Legolas came up to me, and asked me if I loved him more than I loved Orlando Bloom. I couldn't decide, but finally I had told him that I loved him more. Legolas still didn't believe me, so he walked away. I tried to follow him, but then there was some invisible barrier between us. And I tried to get past it, but it wouldn't budge. And then I was facing the huge red eye that was wreathed in flame.
I was still thinking about the dream, when I collided into Legolas. I was falling forwards and about to knock him down with me, when he caught me.
"Legolas..." I said.
"Were you sleepwalking?" he asked holding me by my shoulders.
"No, I was just thinking about this dream I had, so I was sorta zoning out."
"What kind of dream?"
"A freaky one," I whispered. I stared at the bush behind him, I swore there was someone behind it. Then I turned my attention back to Legolas.
Legolas gave me a serious look, so I sighed and told him about my dream. When I was done, he looked almost as freaked out as I did.
"Oh Legolas! I really do love you more than Orlando! It was just a dream!" I said.
"I wasn't worried about that," he began.
"Then what?"
"It was the eye. It sounds like Sauron knows you're here," Legolas frowned.
"I know," I said softly, "But, maybe I'm just seeing things. Oh Legolas, I don't want to put the Fellowship in anymore danger than it's already in, especially you!" I started to cry.
Legolas put his arms around me. "Natalie, you're not putting the Fellowship in any danger. It's more of the opposite. You're making the Fellowship more whole again ever since we lost Gandalf. You're what I....I mean, we've needed."
"Really?"
"Yes," Legolas looked at me with his brilliant blue eyes and he whispered in my ear, "I would never let anything bad ever happen to the Fellowship. Especially you. I love you."
My heart was beating a million miles an hour when I heard him say that. I couldn't feel my hands or feet. All I managed to do was put my arms around his shoulders whisper, "I love you, too." in his ear.
Legolas's face was so close that I could feel his hot breath on my face in the cool breeze. I leaned my face towards his and our lips met. It was a long, melting kiss. I knew that Aragorn was hiding in a bush behind Legolas, but I didn't care. The only thing I cared about was Legolas.
I looked back at the bush. I spotted Aragorn, and made sure I gave him the most evil eyes I could make. Legolas noticed how tense I was becoming, and he turned around. His eyes locked on the bush.
"It's Aragorn," I whispered so that Aragorn would not overhear.
Legolas leaned closer until his mouth was only a couple of inches away from my ear and whispered, "What are we going to do?"
"Uh...how about we hide from him?"
"Where?"
"Wait...remember what Galadriel said? We'd know when the time comes that we'd have to tell him. Maybe this is the time," I said.
"You're right. Should I tell him?"
"We both will," I said. I took Legolas's hand and together we walked towards Aragorn.
"Listen, I know you're mad at us, and you may never forgive us for lying to you, but it's not Legolas's fault. It's mine," I said, "I love Legolas and he loves me, and there's nothing you can do about it. I mean, it's almost the same thing as you being in love with Arwen!"
"She has a point there," Legolas said.
Aragorn just sat in silence, taking in all of our words. At last, he spoke.
"I do not agree with what I said earlier. After hearing what you two have said to each other, I know that it is not my place to worry about my friend, Legolas. At least he won't be lonely anymore because he has you to bother him. It is good to hear Legolas talk again. He hasn't talked this much since we left Rivendell. I thank you for that. But, I do not think that it is good that you are seeing the eye in your dreams. Legolas might be right, Sauron may know that you are here. You are not safe being alone anymore. Legolas, can you guard over Natalie?"
"Yes."
"But what are the others going to say when they notice that Legolas is gone?" I asked.
"I'll just tell them that he wanted to sleep in the trees with his fellow Elves," Aragorn said.
"I don't think they should know about Legolas and me. I don't want them to think that Legolas has a weak spot and that he might mess up during a battle or something," I said finally.
"Don't worry, I won't say a word to them."
"I'll just pretend that I like to torture Legolas the whole time!" I said.
"What?" Legolas said.
"Nevermind. I think I should be going back to sleep. It's almost 4:00."
Legolas and I walked back to where my room was, we hadn't spoken since we'd said good-night to Aragorn. I was still thinking about my recent dream of the eye.
"You're worried you're going to have that dream again," Legolas said, his face full of concern.
I went and sat on the edge of the bed. Legolas sat down next to me.
"I dunno. That dream was so disturbing. Especially the eye."
"Well, you'll be okay now that I'm here to stay on guard," Legolas said.
"Don't Elves ever sleep?"
"Well, yes, we do."
"Is it true that you sleep with your eyes open?"
"Yes..."
"Ahahhaa! I knew it!" I said.
"Knew what?"
"I knew that Elves don't close their eyes when they sleep. But don't worry. It doesn't disturb me," I said.
"Really?"
"Yeah. You don't have to stay on guard you know, I'm fine now that you're here."
I crawled back under my blanket and put my head on the pillow. I was exhausted from the whole day. My cell phone said it was 4:20. I was half asleep when I heard Legolas lay down next to me. I felt him put his arms around me, and then I fell fast asleep.
