Chapter 7
"Ivarvu." Amanda said through the tape.
"Shut up. Phoebe, what are you doing?" I said.
"I'm not Phoebe. You and her have had good lives, haven't you? Being the most popular girls in school, both having cute boyfriends all through school, both getting cars for your 18th birthday, both learning Wicca." Phoebe said.
"Huh?" I looked at Amanda, then at Phoebe.
~Funny, I don't remember Amanda having green eyes. ~ I thought to myself. ~And when did Phoebe get blue contacts? ~
While I was thinking, Phoebe-look-alike had tied my friends up, and put tape over their mouths too.
"Now, it's your turn. Come here, Bitch Features." Phoebe said. ~Amanda used that nickname too. ~
It clicked. "Amanda?" I asked incredulously. "Why are you doing this?"
"Your life has been 'Peaches and Cream' so far, hasn't it? I want to show you what my life has been like. You were the prettiest girls at the Fort, weren't you? All the boys had crushes on you, didn't they? My boyfriend broke up with me because he thought he might have a chance with you."
"That's what this is about? MICHAEL? Damn girl, you got a bad case of jealousy." I replied.
"I'M NOT JEALOUS! I just want you to have a taste of life from the other side of the tracks. No more boyfriends. No more family, no more money."
"Oh, right, so you want to be pregnant, have cancer, and be facing you boyfriend going of to kill himself, do you? It's not all peaches and cream being me, Amanda. I don't want to die, and I don't want any of the fellowship to die." I said, only just holding on to my temper.
"What, so you're bonking the whole fellowship? Just like you, Faith." She said.
I slammed her up against the wall. "I'm not 'bonking', as you so succinctly put it, the whole of the Fellowship. They're my friends. And I don't want them to die."
At 'they're my friends,' I saw Emu's face perk up. "Yes, even Frodo."
"Ebn Legless?" Roona asked me, though it was severely muffled.
"You could say that." Phoebe-real and I laughed, though she was still gagged. Oops. Back to the subject at hand.
"How did you do it?" I asked, advancing on her.
"Do what?" She asked, innocently whilst backing away.
"YOU KNOW WHAT! HOW!?" I shouted.
Suddenly, she pulled out a gun, and aimed it at me. "That's how. I'm the one with the power now."
Phoebe tried to jump in front, and fell over Emu. Amanda laughed.
"See, even your sister can't save you now." She pulled the trigger back.
With the quick thinking of living in Middle-Earth, I jumped behind the bed as she fired the gun.
It went off with a crack that sent all the birds in the trees going for cover.
Hopefully that would rouse all the Elves in the place, make them come to our aid.
I got up, and shouted, "TUA! [HELP!]"
She fired the gun again, before I had time to react. I felt the bullet pierce my lung, and I fell to the floor, holding the wound.
I was loosing breath, and blood fast. Maybe someone would be here soon.
Legolas, Elrond, Glorfindel, Aragorn and Boromir came running into the room. Legolas took one look at me on the floor, and grabbed Amanda by the neck.
"What did you do to her, Phoebe?" He asked, angrily. Behind him, Elrond, Aragorn and Boromir were untying everyone.
"Legolas," I said weakly from the floor. "It's not Phoebe."
"Yeah, I'm over here Glor." She said, as her mouth was freed.
He rushed over to her. "What happened?" he said.
Poor Glorfindel. He'd been through so much with Free. I really felt sorry for them then. Well, as much as I could with a bullet in my lung.
Amanda raised the gun to her head as Free was explaining. "Say goodbye, Phoebe!"
She pulled the trigger, and killed herself. Phoebe collapsed too.
Legolas dropped Amanda, and knelt at my side.
"Goodbye, Legolas. Our child never had a chance at life anyway.
"I'm sorry. I never meant to leave you, Legolas. I love you. And I hope I shall always be in your heart." I said, feeling my life ending.
"Faith, you will never leave me. You will come through this, and everything will be fine. Faith, you will be fine."
"No I won't, Legolas. You know it, and so do I. I'm dying." I felt the last of my strength leave me. I knew, that that was my last moment.
I wanted the last thing I ever to be Legolas, so I took a good look at him. "Namarie." I whispered.
I would always love him, for as long as he remembered me. That was it, I was gone.
