Chapter 4.

A/N: The next morning Aragorn rose early to prepare for their departure. He was dissapointed that he had to leave now after he had just begun to get through to Legolas. He made a promise with himself that he would return after the war and continue to help the elf. Aragorn quickly got dressed and packed his things, then he went outside where the elven warriors, Galadriel and Celeborn waited.

"Farewell Aragorn, may you have a safe journey back to Rivendell" Celeborn told Aragorn.

The man nodded and bowed his head in a thankyou to both Celeborn and Galadriel. He surveyed the warriors, there was a least fifty strong built warriors, all waiting to leave. Haldir came up and embrace his friend and Aragorn returned the gesture.

"Farewell mellon nin" Haldir said.

"Until we meet again" Aragorn replied. They pulled away from the hug and Aragorn looked around.

"Where is Legolas?" He wondered outloud.

"I do not know, I have not seen him this morning, he is most probably in the woods somewhere" Haldir replied.

Aragorn nodded. "Tell him I said goodbye" He told Haldir, who nodded in return.

Legolas peered out from behind the branches of the tree. He watched from above, the elven warriors and the man preparing to leave. He sighed as he remembered the time he once to was a warrior. He would do anything to have that power again. At least then he would be of use for something. Legolas missed being a warrior, for all his life his father had trained him to be a strong skillful warrior and had been so proud of him.

"I wonder what they would think if they saw me now?" Legolas asked himself harshly.

He was soon over come with saddness at the very thought of it. He glanced down again and noticed an elven cloak that the warriors wore. There was one of the cloaks, unused sitting on a rock beneath the tree. An idea suddenly came into Legolas' mind. He jumped gracefully down from the tree and put of the cloak.

"Born a warrior and I shall die a warrior" Legolas said.

A sligh smile came across his face as he pulled the hood over his head as not to be noticed. "This is for you Ada" He whispered as he joined the group unnoticed.

After saying there last farewells, Aragorn and the troops began throught the woods and out of Lothlorien. They walked all day without running into any enemies or any other trouble. When night fell apon them they finally stopped for rest. Some of the elves ventured into the woods to find wood to start a fire while others gathered their food. As they ate their lambas and fruit, Aragorn notice one of the elves did not have any food, in fact he did not have a pack at all. The elf sat alone, away from the group with his head bowed and his face hidden away. Aragorn felt pity for him knowing he must be hungery after their long day of traveling. He rose from his spot and walked over to the elf.

"Would you like something to eat, you must be hungery?" Aragorn asked, offering the lambas to him.

The elf hesitated for a moment then slowly took the waybread from him.

"Why did you not bring a pack with you?" Aragorn asked, sitting beside the elf. Legolas began to panic, if Aragorn knew he was here he would be in serious trouble.

"I.I forgot" Legolas muttered. Aragorn frowned, "thats unusual" He thought to himself.

"What is your name?" Aragorn continued to question, he was trying to befriend the lonely elf.

Legolas thought quickly and made up a name in his head.

"Uh Ellarwen" He replied, hoping he would beleive it.

Aragorn reached forwards to get a look at the elf's face but he pulled away before the man could.

"What's wrong?" Aragorn asked, confused.

"Nothing, it's just uh" Legolas tried to think of something quickly.

"Wait a minute" Aragorn suddenly reconised the farmiliar voice. He quickly pulled off the hood and reviled the Mirkwood elf.

"Legolas!" He exclaimed. He quickly lowered his voice to avoid the curious looks from some of the other elves.

"What are you doing here?" He hissed.

"What do you think i'm doing here, i'm going to Rivendell to fight" Legolas replied.

"You can't, your not a warrior" Aragorn stated, getting fustrated with the elf.

"I was, and I will never find peace with myself unless I try and get that back" Legolas said, raising his voice.

"And what about your friends in Lorien, what about Haldir? They are looking for you and what will they think when they learn of this?" Aragorn shouted, no longer caring about the attention he drawed.

"That doesn't matter, this is my life and I will do with it what I want" Legolas shouted back, glaring daggering into the man.

"You will be killed" Aragorn stated angerily. He got up and stood over the elf.

"Then at least I will die the way I wanted" Legolas spat. He stood up to meet the mans glare.

"Go back to Lorien Legolas, please" Aragorns tone softened as he spoke.

"I will not take orders from a man, I will fight this war and you will not stop me" Legolas growled, walking away from him. Aragorn sighed and gave up, moving back to his resting spot.

The next morning, there journey continued. They would arrive at Rivendell that night and the next day prepare for the war. Aragorn watched Legolas as they packed that morning. He couldn't help but feel a sudden sense of protection over him. He also felt guilty about shouting at him the night before and reminded himself that he would have to apolagise later. Aragorn picked up his pack and began leading the elves through the thick woods.

Legolas lingered behind the group, lost in his own thoughts. So many thoughts were running through his mind, he was so confused. He didn't know why he had opened up to Aragorn. He did not want to trust him, but somehow it just happened although he refused to admit it.

Legolas was soon snapped out of his daze by a solf voice calling his name.

"Legolas?"Aragorn watched the elf's blank stare until he finally looked up at Aragorn questionly.

"I wanted to apologize for last night, I should not have spoken in such a way" Aragorn told him softly.

Legolas just stared straight ahead. He seemed to be concentrating on something else. Aragorn frowned.

"Are you even listening to me?" He questioned.

Legolas raised a hand to silence him as he listened carefully. Aragorn also noticed that most of the other elves were in the same stance as Legolas, trying to make out the noises they could hear. This fustrated Aragorn because he did not have the same keen hearing as elves and could not tell what was going to happen.

"Orcs" Legolas whispered.
