Chapter 6: A Quiet Place
Clip, clack. Clip, clack. Clip clack. Sounded the horses hooves as we continued on riding through the forest. Ooh I'd kill for a break. I thought I would try to ride closer to Haldir and ask him if we could take a break. Only one thing stopped me. Legolas.
I had observed Legolas had been staring at me for quite some time already. It was quite nerve wrecking. I wondered what his problem with me was. Finally it was decided by the elves that we should stop and take a break.
I led Asfaloth to a little creek nearby. I was surprised that the elves had let me go alone, or at least I thought I was alone. The elves could be incredibly silent and sly when they wanted to be. Asfaloth happily drank from the little creek and dined on the lush green grass, while I drank some of the cool refreshing water myself and sat with my back against a tree.
The tree I was leaning against had numerous branches. I had always liked climbing trees. This tree seemed that it could prove to be a good climbing tree. Climbing up this tree could mean that I might be able to see if any elves had followed me, I might even be able to see what the elves were up to when they thought I wasn't around.
The first branch was quite a challenge. It was quite a distance from the ground. It got easier from there. I was surprised with how much I could see from this tree. It was a great view. I could see where the elves had gathered. They were preparing food while in conversation. All the elves were there except for three.
Three were missing from the group. Two I noticed were missing instantly. They were Legolas and Haldir. The third, took longer to realize he was missing. I scanned the ground frantically trying to find the elves.
