Screw the two chapter idea. I'm just going to go with the story I started
because I like it, and I have an idea for more than one chapter, so, here
we are. So thank you to the big two people who reviewed, and lets all hope
for more with this chapter.....
*Chapter 2*
*Narrator's P.O.V.*
Selene sat up abruptly. She had the dream again, the same one she had been having for years. The one with Saruman coming to her village. She looked around to make sure that the fellowship hadn't abandoned her. Her dream would only become a reality if she failed. And she didn't plan to.
She walked over to the river's edge, careful not to wake any of the men that were asleep, scattered across the ground. She looked at her reflection in the water. She held in her waist and pushed up her breasts. She had a pretty face, but not an overly gorgeous one. Thankfully, she did have a small waist and a larger chest, so she used it to her advantage. And she would do whatever it took to complete this mission. And she would do it to whoever she needed to.
"You should get some rest," came a voice from by the fire. She jumped, only to realize that the elf was speaking to her.
She walked over two sleeping hobbits, to sit by the fire.
"What is your name?" he asked.
"What is yours?" she asked back, while batting her eyelashes with a sweet smile on her face.
Yet he seemed indifferent to her charms. "I am Legolas, of the Woodland Realm," he said calmly. "And you are?"
"I'm Selene," she said, with an extra-sweet voice. She was too uncreative to think of a false name. He still didn't seem to have any change in opinion of her.
"Where are you from?" he asked.
"Rohan," she answered.
"Then why is your hair so dark?"
She grabbed a brown curl. "Oh. My father is from Bree. I take after him." After a second she asked "Where are you from?" The easiest way to get them to trust her was to get to know them.
"I am of Mirkwood," he said. "You really should not sit up the whole night talking. We travel far and we do not rest. If you cannot keep up, we'll be forced to leave you behind."
"Fine, if you did not want to talk, you didn't have to be rude," she said, storming off.
Selene settled herself a few feet from where the dwarf lie and let out an exasperated sigh. Perhaps the elf would not be her way into this group. She glanced over at where the men lay.
'The elf may not be tempted by what I have to offer....but one of those men has to be,' she thought, as she dozed off.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
"How do you know she was telling the truth?" Boromir said for the twelfth time since the men, elf and dwarf started their conversation.
"I don't know," Legolas said. "But I do not think we should doubt her yet. Thus far she has given us no reason to mistrust her."
"But 'tis a sensitive mission we're on," Gimli added. "And a treacherous one at that. It is no place for a girl."
"She said she was from Rohan," Legolas said. "We can let her travel with us as far as we can take her. Then she can make her way home from there. It would be wrong just to leave her in the wilderness somewhere."
"I agree," Aragorn said. "We cannot leave her to die. But until we can be rid of her, make sure you keep a close watch on her. The enemy comes in many shapes and forms. Now, I think it would be wise for all of you to get some rest. I will finish the watch for the night."
With that, Boromir settled himself against a tree, while Gimli clunked back to where he had been asleep before. Aragorn sat down on the log, looking into the woods every few seconds. Legolas settled himself down a few feet from where Selene lay.
He looked at her. She didn't look like she could do anything evil, lying there with her faded and torn skirt pushed up to her knees, with her patched-up cloak pulled over her upper body. But then again, looks can be deceiving. And there was something not right about her. He just had to find out what.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
Selene quickly dried her face on her cloak. The men were running around hurriedly trying to make the campsite look as if they had not been there. They had all insisted that she do nothing, so she stopped to wash some of the dirt from her face.
"Can anyone at least tell me where we are going?" she said loudly. Immediately all the men froze at once.
They all spoke at the same time. "GONDOR!" said Boromir, Gimli and the two hobbits Sam and Frodo. "ROHAN!" said Aragorn, Legolas, and the hobbit Merry. "Mordor....I mean Gondor," said the hobbit Pippin. All the other men shot him a reproachful glare.
"Some of us are headed for Rohan, others for Gondor," Aragorn said immediately. "We all met a ways back in Bree and decided to travel together."
"How lovely," Selene said. "I always prefer to travel with company myself, when I can get it."
'This is definitely them,' Selene thought. 'Now, I only have to find who has the ring and bring it back. How difficult can that be?' She knew well the task before her would be quite difficult....but she much preferred to pretend it was easy.
She watched as the men all began to climb into the boats that were sitting at the shore.
"You can ride with me," said a voice from behind her. She turned to see Legolas standing there. "I am sorry if you found me rude earlier, I did not intend to come off that way."
"I understand," she said and took his hand as he helped her into the boat. "I never properly thanked you for saving me. I truly do appreciate it."
"Do not mention it," he said. "I enjoy playing the hero."
"I really will never forget it," she said, turning on the charm.
'Maybe the elf is not a lost cause,' she thought to herself as she settled into the boat. 'All I have to do is be a helpless poor girl that he can rescue, then getting the ring will be a cinch.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
Legolas began to row. 'Wonderful,' he thought. 'All I have to do is be a charming hero, and I will find out what she wants in no time.'
****Such a bad ending to a chapter. Please, when you review, be VERY brutal. Say what you want, I know this is real crappy. Don't worry, this isn't really going to become a lego-mance, and I'm trying my hardest to keep it far far far from Mary-Sue territory. Anyway, since it's 3:00 A.M,I really think everyone should get some sleep. g'night......
