CHAPTER THREE:

"Where's Gimli?" Frodo asked curiously, noting the absence of the usually very opinionated dwarf in the morning's discussions. Aragorn and Legolas exchanged a quick glance. Merry used all his will power not to look at Pippin sitting beside him, as he felt his little cousin's body tense up with fear.

"We have to tell them Aragorn. They have a right to know," Legolas said looking at Aragorn sternly.

"Yes, you're right Legolas. As usual," Aragorn replied solemnly, looking up at the rest of the confused fellowship.

"What's happened?" Boromir demanded more than asked.

"Gimli is dead," Legolas said matter of factly.

"What?!" The fellowship gasped, not sure if they had heard correctly. Even Merry managed to act surprised as Pippin, for what seemed like the millionth time that morning, flung himself into Merry's arms.

Aragorn glared at Legolas. "It is better to just tell them Aragorn, than to sugar coat it as you would have."

"He is dead?!" repeated Frodo in shock. "How? When?"

"Legolas found him early this morning before the breaking of the dawn. He was already dead. Killed in the night." Aragorn replied softly.

"By what?!" cried Sam, horrified.

"A..." Legolas started but Aragorn interrupted him.

"We think it was by a Warg or...some other animal in the night."

"A Warg? But how can that be?" Frodo asked in confusion.

"That seems unlikely!" interjected Boromir.

"Unlikely maybe, but that seems to be the cause," Aragorn replied, with a note of finality in his voice that even Boromir did not dare to question.

Everyone was silent for a moment, lost in there own thoughts. Aragorn broke the silence. "He would want us to continue."

"Yes," said Frodo, coming out of a trance like state. "He would. And we will." With that he got up. "Come Sam, let's get ready to leave." Sam nodded and followed Frodo away.

Merry watched them leave before becoming aware of the sobbing form in his arms. "Come on Pip. We better go pack too." Pippin looked up and nodded and the two of them walked away. Aragorn looked after them, before turning to Boromir and Legolas.

"Why did you tell them he was killed by a Warg?" Legolas asked angrily. "It is a tarnish to his legacy to suggest he could be so easily killed!"

Aragorn sighed. "What was I to tell them Legolas? That he was murdered by dagger?"

Boromir looked at him in shock. "Murdered?"

Aragorn nodded. "It appears so. No other beast or weapon could make such marks upon his skin."

"But who? What?" Boromir asked as the truth sunk in.

"We do not yet know. But I was on watch all night. It was no one from the outside." Legolas said gravely.

"Are you implying it was...one of the fellowship?" Boromir looked shocked.

"It could be no other." Legolas replied sternly.

"But would you not of noticed?" asked Boromir.

"I'm sure I would have if I had not been distracted by a stirring in the forest edge." Legolas continued, his bright blue Elven eyes glazing over with what for any other would be tears.

"I still do not see why it was not someone from the out side. A thief perhaps." Boromir insisted.

Legolas glared at him. "I would have known. It came from the inside Boromir," he said defensively.

Boromir looked desperately at Aragorn, who nodded in agreement. "But...but who would do such a thing?" asked Boromir.

"We do not know. It could be anyone of us," Aragorn said slowly.

Boromir shook his head. "It is the evil of the ring," he said as the three stood up and began to walk away. He did not notice Aragorn glance quickly in the direction of Merry and Pippin.
