A/N thanks to everyone who reviewed!! I have a couple of notes for some of
my reviewers at the end of the chapter. There are a lot of them and it took
me forever to write that, but time is not of essence for my reviewers, so
scroll down there's one fore everyone who has reviewed. I also made some
very minor changes to the earlier chapters.
~* Chapter 12 *~
They finally passed but she could still hear the distant voices of the awful creatures in the distance making camp and most likely rotting the ground on which they rested. She was disgusted as she thought of the horrible creatures and their vile way of life. Hopefully she would get to Legolas and the fellowship before they did, but it was a slim chance now as they were ahead of her.
She listened to the singing of the leaves as they rustled in the gentle breeze. She could feel the tree, as if it were trying to protect her and lull her to sleep with its music, the music of nature. She looked up through the deep green, dense leaves up at the stars. They were beautiful as they glistened. They reminded her of Legolas's sparkling blue eyes. How she longed to once again look into them. Before the only thing she wanted was not to look into their depths.
She finally realized the meaning of the Lady's words. They were true. Everything had changed within a matter of hours if not minutes. She had left behind everything and everyone she had ever known, for what? For an elf she had just met? Yes, an elf she was madly in love with, and she wondered if the decision she had made had been for better or for worse, for now it was unalterable, she could no longer turn back.
The first light of day finally came and beat down on her soft skin. She awoke, startled. She had fallen asleep as she thought of Legolas and Lothlorien. 'How could I have been so dim-witted?!' she thought angrily to herself as she looked down from the high branch on which she was comfortably seated.
The bright light of morning was blinding almost. She stealthily jumped down from the high tree and landed on her feet without making any noise whatsoever. She looked in all directions and realized the horrible noise of the orcs could no longer be heard. 'They must have rested for a very short while' she contemplated where exactly they might be and how far they might have gotten.
She could now vaguely hear the falls of Rauros. They were still very far off and yet very close. It was the tenth day of her journey and she would surely be reaching the fellowship this day. She once again scolded herself for having dozed off.
She quickly ate and then was off. Her feet moved craftily over the grass and fallen leaves of the forest floor. To one it would seem as if her feet were not even touching the ground.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Legolas did not get any rest whatsoever as thoughts of Leuthil and the harm she might be in came to mind. The morning bright rays finally came. He was the first to stand and patrol the surrounding area.
The rest of the fellowship ate breakfast and packed everything onto the boats. It was the tenth day of the journey and they would be reaching the Falls of Rauros. Legolas was worried about his friend Aragorn. He knew that Aragorn was not sure of where to go from the Falls of Rauros.
Would he choose to go to Mount Doom with Frodo or to Minas Tirith to help his people? Legolas contemplated the possibilities as he rowed the small boat now. He listened as the water moved beneath the boat. The music of Ulmo was everywhere. The sound of the water was the most soothing thing to Legolas, ever since he could remember.
He continued to row for many hours that followed. He could now hear the pounding of the orcs feet as they stomped on the ground. They were close and he knew it.
Finally the many hours passed. They had gone by slowly like a dawdling torture. They came to the Falls of Rauros and made camp. They would cross the river at night and continue on foot on the Eastern shore.
Legolas warned Aragorn of the impending danger of the orcs, which he could feel all around them. Aragorn was stubborn about it though and he kept to his plan. They went about setting up a fire and their blankets and such to rest.
Frodo went to gather firewood. Merry was the first to notice he was gone, alone. Aragorn was the only to notice Boromir was gone also. He knew nothing good would come of this.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Leuthil had now been running for many hours. The wind whipped past her long brown hair, which seemed to shine a deep golden color as the sun hit it. It flew out behind her and she stopped once more to get it into a braid, she had done this many times now, and it continued to loosen.
As she went the sound of the water cascading could now be heard much clearer. She new she was very close, but where were the orcs? Perhaps they had already arrived to where the fellowship was. She picked up her pace.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Aragorn and the rest of the fellowship had now gone in search of Frodo and Boromir. None knew where they might be.
At last Aragorn came to Frodo they spoke and then parted. Aragorn knew that Frodo must go to Mount Doom on his own, for the power of the ring was to strong for all to withstand. Even though it broke his heart to let the small hobbit journey alone he knew it was what must be done. Just as Frodo was to leave Aragorn took notice of his sword, ORCS!
"Go! Go!" he told the young hobbit. Frodo did as he was told and ran down to the river as quickly as his feet would take him.
Aragorn walked toward the orcs and saw the swarms that were coming toward him. He began to kill, his sword never missing its target. There were to many for him alone. Where were Legolas, Gimli, and the other hobbits?
Just then Legolas and Gimli appeared as if answering Aragorns call. Legolas moved swiftly with his bow and arrows. The orcs were in extremely close proximity but he managed somehow. Gimli with his large ax swung every which way, each time killing an orc.
It was then they heard "The Horn of Gondor" as Legolas stated.
"Boromir!" Aragorn said in alarm. He ran towards the sound as quickly as he possibly could with all the orcs that crossed his path.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Leuthil finally came close enough to hear the sound of battle making the air dense. She quickly climbed a tree, which was near. The trees became closer here and she climbed from tree to tree as best she could. She finally came upon orcs running in the direction of where the clinking of swords could be heard.
It was then she heard the mighty call of a horn, 'the horn of Gondor'. She knew he who was using it must be in dire need of help. But first she had to find Legolas, she had to make sure if he was in trouble or not. She could not risk getting seen by the orcs though. It would be difficult to continue climbing from tree to tree.
It was then she heard far off the voice of he whom she had come this long way for. It was barely but a whisper above the sound of the orcs loud marching, like an oceans mist over the waves. She quickly followed it through the trees.
She saw Aragorn pass quickly beneath her. He was going toward the sound of the horn. She continued on her way. The whizzing of arrows could now be heard clearly. The arrows seemed to be going more quickly than she had ever heard. One after the other flew through the air, never missing their intended target.
She finally came upon where he was. He looked proud as he battled with the orcs, even if he did so from a distance. He was soon going to run out of arrows. He was right under the tree from which she was watching him.
Unsuspected from behind them was coming an orc at full speed. Legolas would not have time to turn around and shoot the filthy creature. Leuthil quickly reacted by jumping down from the tree behind the orc and using her sword quickly to give him a fatal wound. Where his head was once on his neck it was now on the ground.
Leuthil felt like throwing up. It was the most disgusting thing she had ever seen. The black bloods stench was unbearable. It was then Legolas turned to see who had saved his life.
The orcs were now retreating into the direction in which Aragorn had gone.
"Leuthil?!" Legolas said startled as he looked into her clear eyes. "What are you doing here?!!" he was almost at a loss of words as he looked upon her heavenly face once more.
"You forgot to return my poems," she said looking away from his intense gaze. Legolas realized they had no time to waste now. They would continue with the questions later. He had to reach his companions now. Gimli had already gone after the orcs.
Legolas quickly grabbed her by the hand, "come we must hurry" he said as he pulled her in the direction he knew only bad news would meet him. Her small hand in his larger one felt perfect, he had longed to touch her for so long and even though it was only her hand, his heart was content to know she was finally his.
Leuthil was startled by his instant movement to grab her hand, he did it swiftly, commandingly, and gently all at the same time. He was perfect maybe too perfect for someone like her. His soft touch reassured her that she had made the correct decision. She wondered what he would have to say about it later when they would get a chance to speak.
The scene they came upon was truly heart wrenching. Aragorn was kneeling over Boromir's body in his last words. Leuthil instantly felt regret, she should have gone to help the man of Gondor before going in pursuit of Legolas for her own selfish satisfaction.
They all bowed their heads awaiting Aragorns words to them. Gimli looked over at Legolas and was startled as he saw Leuthil standing next to him hand in hand. He decided to remain silent, for now, as they mourned quickly and quietly for Boromir's death.
Finally he spoke, "there is no time for a proper burial, we shall send him down the Anduin in one of the boats of Lothlorien." He then looked up and saw Leuthil standing there hand in hand with Legolas. "Leuthil it is about time." He said sound unsurprised.
Leuthil, Legolas, and Gimli simply looked at him.
"I knew you had been following us. For what reason though I do not know."
"I-" she was about to say before Legolas interrupted her.
"She shall return to Lothlorien, she cannot accompany us, the road is far too perilous." He said as he turned his head to look at Leuthil.
She took her hand from his, "why?" she said as she looked sadly into his azure eyes, "I have come all this way for you and now you wish for me to leave you once more?" she said not realizing truly what he was saying.
"You should not have followed Leuthil, it is dangerous, and I cannot risk losing you. I wish for you to return not because I do not wish to be with you, but because I would not be able to forgive myself if something were to happen to you." he spoke with sadness dripping from every word that flowed from his perfect lips. "I would have you never leave my side again, but alas, you must."
"I will not! I have come far for you and I will not turn back and leave you to continue on a treacherous journey. Besides you could surely use my help on this journey. Am I not skilled in weaponry?"
"Yes, I do not doubt you Leuthil but you must return." He said now in an almost pleading manner.
She looked at him for a brief moment then the thought came into her mind, "If Aragorn will not allow me to accompany him on this journey then I shall return." She then turned to Aragorn, " Aragorn I am offering my services to you. Will you allow me to accompany you on this journey? I will follow you to the death if necessary."
Aragorn looked from Legolas to Leuthil. He truly did not know what to do. There were many things on his mind and this was yet another decision he would have to make. Legolas was his friend, he had known him for many years, while Leuthil wanted to be with and protect the one she loved, Legolas simply wanted to protect the one he loved. The journey back to Lothlorien alone could lead to folly also.
Aragorn knew she was skilled in swords and she could more than adequately take care of herself, Gandalf had told him about her. He finally made a decision. He made it quickly as they had to move on promptly, "I will allow you to follow us on this journey Leuthil, but you must promise me one thing." He looked to Legolas who had a look of complete betrayal on his face he then looked to Leuthil.
"Yes, what is it?" she asked triumphantly.
"You must promise me that no matter what happens you will continue. No matter what befalls us you must continue. There is no giving up or turning back."
"It is not in me to do so Aragorn. I promise."
"Very well. Come let us take our dear friend Boromir to his resting place." They gathered many weapons of the orcs and Boromir's sword.
Legolas gathered arrows for himself. They lay Boromir in one of the elven made boats. At Boromir's feet they placed all the weapons of those orcs he had killed. In his hand they placed his sword and at his side the Horn of Gondor.
They then pushed the small boat into the river and waited for the falls to take him. Aragorn sang a song for him. He sang two verses and Legolas sang one. Leuthil stood silent and listened to the two men's beautiful voices as they filled the air, cleansing it of the denseness the filthy orcs had left behind.
~*~*~*~*~*~ There's chapter 12. I hope you enjoyed it. Please review and tell me what you think. Please read the authors note.
*Legolasluvr1* - thanks for reviewing every single chapter! lol your tooooo nice,
*Starlight* - thanks so much for your appalling flame. I absolutely can't stand people like you. If by chance you read this I have a few words for you, first off Tirifea or "elf slut", as you named her, apparently isn't a regular elf. I stated that in the chapter, *Never in his entire life had he met such an elf. Elves weren't like that. They did not make love just for fun. * Yes I know there are no exceptions but I guess she just is. It's FANFICTION, and as much as I would love to try and honor J.R.R. Tolkien's works I can't, I actually don't think anyone can or ever has. I don't think anyone has or ever will surpass or even match his works, except for maybe one or two artists/songwriters. And I am not to scared to put my email here, but I don't want you to email me, and start harrassing me sorry to disappoint but I would not stoop to that/your level, by the way you misspelled harassing and to should be too. Leuthil your so called, the damsel in distress, gets captured by the orcs, and it is Legolas's job to save her. And they announce there love for each other, and all the lovemaking begins. I'm sorry did I miss something or what? Have I ever called Leuthil a damsel in distress???? Also I never intended on this being my storyline. SORRY, but you're wrong once again. There means a place, their is possessive, you should have used their. So next time please check yourself before you check someone else. Please do not try to predict something when you don't even know the person whom you are saying is predictable. Also, please don't start a sentence with and its one of my pet peeves. I cut and pasted henceforth the corrections.
*Annie Took* - thanks so much for your encouraging review. I don't like Starlight either *ssshhhh* lol. Well thanks so much for your awesome review and please continue reading and reviewing.
*Winter's Roar* - Thanks so much for that awesome review and the awesome suggestions. She's following the fellowship because she's in love with Legolas and if you remember Legolas left Lothlorien without their arguments and feelings settled. Leuthil lives in Lothlorien so the Lady of Light know her as she I'm sure she knows all the elves of Lothlorien. Also, if you remember Leuthil say/thinks 'There are more pressing matters in this world and you trouble yourself with a common elf.' Leuthil thought. so I was hoping that would kind of explain it. They're not extremely close but still Galadriel tries to help, and they have not met before that's why Leuthil was so surprised when Haldir gave her the message, Leuthil of course had seen her before at dinners and such. Leuthil and Arwen became close friends when Arwen was in Lothlorien getting training from her Grandmother/Galadriel and Leuthil was her helper and would clean Arwen's flet. I'm not sure if Arwen will come into the story later but I'm sure almost positive she will. I'll be sure that there's a lot of interaction with Leuthil and the rest of the fellowship, remember she isn't exactly the social type.
*Samara* - sorry if you've gotten bored but thanks for the review anyways. I was re-reading my story and I get what you mean about the lack of emotion in the earlier chapters but in the later chapters I think you'll find a lot of emotion, I actually got a couple of reviews from people saying they were crying. So please give my story a chance, you are barely at chapter 5 and a lot of stories take a while to move along. I'm not the type who likes rushing. I wish I could write something as good as *To have and to hold* but this is only like my 2nd fanfic and I'm trying my best.
*Princess of Mirkwood* - you know I luv ya!!!!
*Black Moon Empress* - thanks so much, continue reading and reviewing!!
*Moviechicka* - lylas, that's all I got to say! lol
*peppermint187* - I hope chapter 11's length was to your liking. Sorry about the short chapter 10. Thanks so much for the review, please continue reading and reviewing.
*wanakisslegolas* - lylas to you to. Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement!!!
*Krillball6* - thanks so much for the encouragement. I luv ya to!!!
*Kitten4480* - you'll have to wait and find out!! *Evil laugh* j/k thanks so much for your beautiful awesome review!!!

Also, if you remember Leuthil say/thinks 'There are more pressing matters in this world and you trouble yourself with a common elf.' Leuthil thought. so I was hoping that would kind of explain it. They're not extremely close but still Galadriel tries to help, and they have not met before that's why Leuthil was so surprised when Haldir gave her the message, Leuthil of course had seen her before at dinners and such. Leuthil and Arwen became close friends when Arwen was in Lothlorien getting training from her Grandmother/Galadriel and Leuthil was her helper and would clean Arwen's flet. I'm not sure if Arwen will come into the story later but I'm sure almost positive she will. I'll be sure that there's a lot of interaction with Leuthil and the rest of the fellowship, remember she isn't exactly the social type.
*Samara* - sorry if you've gotten bored but thanks for the review anyways. I was re-reading my story and I get what you mean about the lack of emotion in the earlier chapters but in the later chapters I think you'll find a lot of emotion, I actually got a couple of reviews from people saying they were crying. So please give my story a chance, you are barely at chapter 5 and a lot of stories take a while to move along. I'm not the type who likes rushing. I wish I could write something as good as *To have and to hold* but this is only like my 2nd fanfic and I'm trying my best.
