Chapter Three: You'll be in my Heart
Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
Aragorn couldn't believe the girl's bravery. He set her down, Katy and Melaura came running up embracing their friend.
"You are so stupid you know that right?" said Melaura.
"I let him fall," she said quietly.
"No." Katy whispered as though she couldn't get her voice any louder. "You didn't"
Aragorn put his hand on the distraught girl's shoulder, she looked at him. "If I know Gandalf the gray, he let go of you."
With those words Aragorn looked at Melaura and walked off, towards the others. Sam was sitting on a rock, his head in his hands, Merry and Pippin were sobbing in each others arms. Boromir was holding back an angry Gimli, who wanted to go back and
fight in the mine. Legolas was standing alone with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Katy, go be with him, I think he can comfort you better then I can," said Laura.
Katy glared at her. "Wanna bet?"
"Katy, go be with him, comfort him."
"Laura, that was so brave, what you did back there, now what you have to do is go tell him everything is going to be ok," said Melaura as Katy walked off they both looked in the direction Frodo was in, he was walking away from the group.
Laura nodded and Melaura walked over to Aragorn, Katy went to Legolas and buried her face in his chest, he wrapped his arms around her, as if shielding her away from the pain. He kissed the top of her head.
"Legolas-" Aragorn started. He was going to tell Legolas to round up the fellowship, but he saw that the elf was busy with someone else. He looked at his old friend, it looked as though he might have found a cure for that broken heart of his. "Finally..." Aragorn thought.
"I'll help," Melaura whispered, walking towards Orion. He was making sure his supplies were together and stuff.
"How organized," she muttered as he looked up to her. He looked startled at first.
"I got a question, Boromir...he's your brother right?"
"And?"
"You never talk...glare mostly, but never talk."
"What business is it of yours, you don't even belong in this world, you just got here by a stupid spell gone wrong, if you can't even do the correct spell, I don't know how you expect to be able to help on this whole ring mission."
She stared at him coldly and slapped him hard on the face, nobody else noticed.
"You have no right! and what magic do you know little boy, you waste all your time watching, never participating, how can you learn like that, and what do you know about magic?" she asked, her tone mocking.
"I know a lot more then you would ever dream of little girl! Stuff you couldn't comprehend, why don't you go back to your own world where you belong!"
"You have no fucking right to say where I belong so you mind pulling that stick out of your ass and maybe just open your eyes for just one fucking second you would learn, or even see something you half minded dim wit!"
Orion glared at her coldly before setting his pack on his back.
"I know that this is not your world, and this is not a place for little girls."
"Well it definitely ain't a place for little boys,"
"Grow up!"
"No thanks." Orion stopped as Aragorn started walking over. Melaura turned around and smiled as he put a protective hand on her shoulder.
"Orion." he whispered as Orion nodded.
He shot Melaura one last glare before walking off.
"You ever going to explain what just happened Ireth?" he asked as Melaura grinned.
"Now what kind of bratty sister would I be if I did that." She answered as he grinned.
They went over to help Merry and Pippin with their stuff.

Laura began walking towards the distraught Hobbit.
"Frodo!" she called her voice cracking, he turned and looked at her, pain etched all over his features.
Laura kneeled in front of him so they could meet eye to eye. "I'm sorry," she looked down at the ground.
Frodo placed his hand under Laura's chin and raised her head so their eyes met.
I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
"You did what the others would not, and I could not. Gandalf was a very wise person, he always knew, he knew everything. You have no reason to apologize. If Gandalf fell he fell for a reason, his own that he did not wish to share."
"He's gone now, Frodo... I feel that it is all my fault he is no longer here to lead us."
"He is gone, yes, but he will always be in my heart...as you will always be"
Laura smiled at this comment, finally knowing he had the same feelings she had.
For one so small,
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
Keep you safe and warm,
The bond between us
can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
Laura looked at Frodo, a single tear rolled down his cheek. They embraced. Aragorn was calling for them, they needed to move on. Laura looked in Frodo's eyes once more. She was where she belonged and so were her friends. Some how, this was their home.
Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on.
Now and forever more.
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here
in my heart always,
Frodo and Laura began walking back towards the company hand in hand, a new understanding coming over the two of them. Laura saw the pain on everyone's faces, they were all hurting and they would for a while, but they had to go on, they still had a mission and Gandalf would have wanted them to complete it.
Always
End Chapter Three
