Bleed for Me
By Siren
Hey guys! I'm glad you liked the last chapter. And thank you for your support with the 'Nazgul Sith Bitch' review. (Hugs everyone.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ninety-nine hobbits stuck in a hole, ninety-nine chubby hobbits! Pull one out, pass it around, ninety-eight hobbits stuck in a hole!" I sing loudly. The elves around me send me death glares, and I know that Telcoer is two seconds from bucking me off. "That is by far the most annoying song," Hodoer seethes. "Especially since she started at one thousand hobbits," Astaider chimes in. I simply grin and open my mouth to continue. "Ninety-seven hobbits stuck in a---"
"ENOUGH WITH THE HOBBITS!"
I blink at Legolas's outburst. Sticking out my lower lip I pout. "You don't like the hobbits?" Legolas sighs and rubs his temples. "I think I'm getting a headache," he groans. I lean over and pat him on the shoulder. "Aw, poor Blondie. I suppose I can stop the hobbit song for your sake." "Thank the Valar," he mutters. I'm going to ignore that one. "But what will we do to pass the time? I never thought I'd be this BORED." Hodoer sighs from her horse. "Look at the scenery, contemplate the meaning of life, it doesn't matter. Just be quiet." I cross my arms over my chest and scowl. "There aren't even any license plates to make fun of," I mumble.
Starting to get more bored by the second, I look around for something to do. Shrugging, I reach into my pack and take out the journal and quill. Writing while on a horse is hard, but not impossible. Trying my best not to spill the ink, I dab the quill in it and start writing.
Elladen and Elrohir,
Hey guys! Well, we've been traveling for about two and a half hours. The elves are being very uptight and won't let me have any fun. So, I'm bored out of my mortal mind. Bored I say! They don't even like my hobbit song (I'll sing it to you someday). What to do, what to do... Well, I could tell you about one of my favorite songs. It's called 'Bleed for Me'.
All I ever wanted
Was to be at your service
But now I'm alone
'Cause you're here and you're gone
And all I ever wanted
Was to feel I had a purpose
But now that's all gone
But if you could give me
Just one love
Just one life
Just one chance to believe in mine
Just one love
Just one life
You'd bleed for me
And I didn't dare to notice you
Now you're stuck in my mind
All I ever wanted
Was to be what you needed
'Cause something so strong
It could never be wrong
And all I can promise
Is to say what I'm feeling
We've made it so long
Just one life
You'd bleed for me
And I didn't dare to notice you
Now I'm stuck out on a line
Bleed for me
I didn't care to be with you
Now you're stuck in my mind
Yup, that's one of my favorite songs. It's sort of sad I guess. Than again, most songs are. Oh, I think we're going to stop for a break. I'll write more later.

I put the quill and journal away and look ahead. "We'll stop for a few minutes and than we'll travel until dark," Legolas announces. I slip my feet out of the stirrups, lift my leg over and slide out of the saddle. I lead Telcoer over to some shade and plop onto the ground. I notice the horse looking at the grass longingly and chuckle. "Dig in," I say. He snorts gratefully and starts munching away. Letting out a sigh, I lie down and close my eyes. I start humming a little and tap the ground to the beat. "What are you humming?" I hear Hodoer ask. "A song," I answer, my eyes still closed.
"I understand that. Does it have words?" I smirk and nod. "Yup. You sure you want to hear it?" I open my eyes to see her nod. "It's eight o' clock Monday night and I'm waiting to finally talk to a girl a little cooler than me. Her name is Lola she's a rocker with a nose ring. She wears a two-way but I'm not quite sure what that means. And when she walks all the wind blows and the angels sing. She'll never notice me," I sing. (A.N.- the song is 'The Girl All the Bad Guys Want' by Bowling for Soup.) " 'Cause she's watching wrestling, creaming over tough guys, listening to rap-metal, turn-tables in her eyes. It's like a bad movie, she's looking groovy, if you were me than you'd be screaming 'someone shoot me' as I fail miserably trying to get the girl all the bad guys want."
I open my eyes to see Legolas, Astaider and Hodoer looking at me as though I had two heads. "What?" They blink and shake their heads. "Your world must be truly bizarre," the prince mutters. I shrug and close my eyes. "I'm bizarre and you guys like me." I feel hot breath on my face and open my eyes to see Telcoer's muzzle. "Yes, and I think Telcoer agrees," Astaider says and laughs. I roll my eyes and pat his nose. "Whatever. Can't we just camp here tonight?" Legolas stands up and takes out a piece of bread. "No we can't. Here," he says and hands me a piece of the bread. I take a bite of it and realize that this ISN'T bread.
"It's lembas," he explains, noticing my look. Oh. I chew it, debating over the taste. All in all it tastes like pizza dough. Yum! I pop the whole thing into my mouth and swallow it. After I pull myself back onto the saddle, I notice the elves' disbelieving look. "Now what?" I ask, somewhat annoyed. "You just ate enough lembas to keep you full for a week," Hodoer says with wide eyes. I shrug and pat Telcoer's neck. "It wasn't very filling," I say and press the horse's sides. He starts to walk, and I let my mind wander.
...I'm bored again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"One, two, Freddy's comin' for you. Three, four, better lock your door. Five, six, get the crucifix. Seven, eight, gotta stay up late. Nine, ten, never sleep again," I sing in my creepiest voice. The elves turn around in their saddles and I grin brightly. "You gotta be prepared incase Freddy comes after you," I warn. They lift eyebrows and exchange glances. "Who is this 'Freddy'?" Astaider asks. I smirk. "He's this demon guy that kills you in your dreams," I say. Legolas snorts, but I can see that I've unnerved him. It doesn't help that night has fallen and we can barely see where we're riding.
"We'll stop for the night," he announces. We dismount our horses, take out our sleeping rolls and set up camp. In a little while there's a nice fire roaring and everyone is sitting around it. "Is that Freddy demon really, well, real?" Hodoer asks. I hide a grin and nod. "Yup. He lives in the movie world." The elves blink and I could sweat that they all pale a bit. This is way too easy. I start humming the Freddy song, and they look up at me sharply. I grin widely and let out a laugh. "I'm going to bed. Sleep tight! Don't let the bed bugs bite!"
"Bed bugs?"
I giggle and crawl into my sleeping roll. I close my eyes, even my breathing, and wait for the elves to sleep. After about an hour, I open my eyes and look around. Astaider and Hodoer are lying down and Legolas is sitting against the trunk of a tree, his eyes unfocused. Perfect. Slipping back my bedroll, I tiptoe over to Astaider and Hodoer and kneel next to them. I try to breathe as softly as possible, wary of the elves' sensitive hearing. One...two...three! I grab Hodoer's shoulders and let out a roar. Her eyes focus immediately and she screams.
Hodoer shoots up from her bedroll, and looks around wildly while Legolas snaps out of his trance, and whips out his bow and arrow more quickly than the human eye can follow. "What's going on? What happened?" Seeing Astaider's terrified look, I can't help but snort and start giggling. At her confused look, the giggles turn into full-blown laughter. I fall onto my back and continue laughing, pointing at her. "Y-you should've seen your face!"
Legolas sighs and puts his weapons away. "You are terrible," he tells me and leans against the tree. Hodoer shakes her head and rubs her eyes. It's then that I notice that Astaider has been deathly quiet. I look over to her sleeping roll, and see that she isn't there. "Astaider?" I look around but I can't see her anywhere. "Legolas, Astaider is missing!" The elf simply rolls his eyes and mutters something. "Astai---" Two hands grab my shoulders and I shriek. In less than a second I'm huddled under my bedroll. I hear the elves snickering and laughing and peek out from under the covers. Blushing furiously, I pull the covers away from my face.
"You elves are so bad."
"Ah, but you wouldn't have it any other way."
"...shaddup."
