A/N I'm updating! Wo0t! Lol, sorry bout the delay…I was on a cruise from the 7th-14th and I've been a bit boat-lagged, lol if that's possible.
Disclaimer: I see monkeys…and they have BEARDS! I own NOTHING of Lord Of The Rings (AH! THE PRIMITIVE FACIAL HAIR!)
"Oh shit…sorry!" Daniella called out in Archery class as her arrow nearly scalped Marial, who ducked just in time to save her head.
"Wow…" said Marial, as Daniella threw her bow aside and ran over to see if she was all right, "Dude…your aim sucks…"
"I know…" Daniella shrugged, retrieving her arrow and giving it a subconscious twirl, "I'm gonna fail this class…ah! It's Haldir!
Sure enough, the Archery teacher and Galadriel's bodyguard, Haldir, was approaching Daniella and Marial, with a frustrated, but patient look on his Elvin face.
"Aw, come on Daniella, it's easy!" said Legolas, running over to her and pulling her over to where he was practicing, "Watch."
Legolas pulled his arrow back on his bow and let it go, sending it straight into the center of the moving target…15 times…
"See?" said Legolas over his shoulder, "16, 17, 18—"
"I can beat that!" shouted Gimli, scrambling over to Legolas. Legolas grinned.
"You're on," he said.
"Show off…" muttered Daniella as Haldir walked right up to her.
"Daniella," said Haldir calmly, "Do you need any help?"
"No…really; I'm okay…" Daniella assured him as he raised his eyebrows doubtfully at her.
Across the room, Marial had drawn out her bow and was shooting arrows with a skill that nearly matched Legolas's.
"She seems to know what she's doing," Haldir commented, tracing Daniella's gaze to Marial, "Mary! A word, please!"
Marial finished taking out her last target and hurried over to them.
"You called?" she said.
"Yes," said Haldir, "I was wondering—"
"If I could teach Daniella how to use a bow and arrow without inflicting near-fatal damage on herself or others?" suggested Marial, grinning knowingly, "Sure." Haldir smiled.
"Exactly," confirmed Haldir, "Thank you."
Daniella seemed hesitant, so Haldir placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder and said, "I have total confidence in you."
"Thanks…" said Daniella, and as she followed Marial she thought yeah, right Haldir.
"Okay," started Marial, "First of all—"
But just then, Arwen Undomiel came gliding into the class. Everyone froze to watch her enter.
"Oh for goodness sake!" cried Marial in frustration, he voice cutting across the silence that had fallen before Arwen's feet the moment she had walked into sight, "Just because Princess Arwen has arrived, it doesn't mean everyone has to stop what they're doing to watch her! What is she, a Celtic goddess? Lord, you people sicken me…Come on, Daniella, let's continue…"
Arwen gave the pair of them a "Yes I am a goddess; thank you for noticing" look before literally scampering over to her bow and arrows.
"26! 27…" you could hear Gimli shouting.
"48, 49, 50…" grunted Legolas in response.
"…and then you just let go of the arrow, but make sure you don't step out of your position, okay?" instructed Marial, snapping Daniella back into realization of what she was attempting to do.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the class, Eowyn was gazing dreamily at Aragorn, and his impressive skill with a bow…for a human of course.
Eowyn nudged Faramir, her best guy friend.
"Should I go for it?" she asked him.
"Go for what?" asked Faramir, lowering his bow and following Eowyn's gaze to Aragorn. Faramir felt a sharp stab of jealousy. He was about to reply sarcastically, but when he saw the look of longing and admiration in Eowyn's eyes as she stared at Aragorn, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He sighed.
"If you think you'd be happy with him," he said rather sadly, "Go for it."
"Okay," Eowyn said beaming, "Thanks, Faramir!"
"Don't mention it," muttered Faramir, as he watched the woman who had unknowingly captured his heart (and has been holding it hostage for quite some time now) prance away with the intent of offering her own to another man.
Aragorn had layed down his bow and was standing up, looking around absentmindedly.
When Eowyn was about a foot away from him, she called, "Aragorn—"
With a fierce rush of wind, an arrow shot right through the gap between Eowyn and Aragorn, which Eowyn had been about to close.
Both of them turned their heads first to the perfectly shot arrow, which had stuck itself into a wall, then to the one who had cast it. It was Arwen.
"Aragorn!" she squealed, running over to him, her nearly see-through skirts waving out behind her.
"Hey Arwen," replied Aragorn, eying the skirts with interest.
Arwen pretended to trip and fell conveniently into Aragorn, though he didn't seem to notice it was pretend. Her arms ended up on the sides of his head in a way that almost suggested she was trying to force something over it.
"Oh, how clumsy of me," gushed Arwen, "I'm sorry Aragorn, darling."
Aragorn felt suddenly drawn to the elf princess, although he hardly knew her. He felt as if the glow of her white porcelain skin, and the depths of her clear blue eyes were sucking him in. He felt…infatuated.
Without knowing exactly what he was doing, he placed one hand on Arwen's back and pushed her closer to him.
"Aragorn…" Arwen gently cooed as she placed her arms around his neck, "Aragorn, darling…" Aragorn could feel her fingertips brush the back of his neck tantalizingly, "Kiss me." She demanded.
And Aragorn obliged. He captured Arwen's lips in a hungry kiss. Greedily overtaken by a sudden lust for the girl.
But the fact that Aragorn didn't seem to be fully in his right mind didn't seem to bother Arwen in the slightest. In fact, she was emitting periodic yelps and moans of his name.
It seemed as though the two would never let go of each other, and that might've been the case if Legolas hadn't noticed the hush that had just fallen over the room and stopped his little competition with Gimli to turn around.
He darted to the center of attention, and when he saw what it was he cried out, "Aragorn!" in a mix of anger and confusion. Why was his best friend all over the biggest slut in Middle Earth, who also happened to be his ex-girlfriend? Sadly, the slut factor was the more enraging issue to Legolas, as Aragorn was a notorious player and tended to always date slutty girls. He had told him before bringing him to this new school that he was to change his ways, but maybe you really can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Since Aragorn showed no signs of having heard Legolas's call, or breathing for that matter, Legolas tore viciously through the crowd, pulled Aragorn away from Arwen and whirled him around to face him.
"What are you doing?" Legolas snapped at him.
"I…what?" said Aragorn stupidly.
"What are you, drunk?" hissed Legolas, "Do you know who that is?"
"Excuse me," interrupted Arwen sweetly, "But Legolas dear, there's no reason to be jealous. After all, who dumped whom? Oh wait…" Arwen giggled, "I dumped you…never mind then!"
"Jealous?" laughed Legolas, "I'm not jealous cuz he kissed you. You're the only female I know who uses that stuff to get men into bed."
"Hey…" Aragorn almost slurred, "Don't mess with my…my Arwen…"
"Oh, so I guess that makes us official," beamed Arwen, "Farewell Aragorn, darling! I have to run for now, see you later!" and with that and a blown kiss in Aragorn's direction, Arwen floated from the class, just as the bell to end it rang.
Everyone rushed to leave the class, but a shocked Legolas held Aragorn back until they were the last ones left.
"Aragorn…" said Legolas, sounding stunned, "Oh no…"
"What?" demanded Aragorn sort of tipsily.
"Arwen's necklace…" said Legolas softly, "The Evenstar…"
Sure enough, around Aragorn's neck hung Arwen's Evenstar necklace. Aragorn looked at him quizzically, and Legolas realized that no one would know about the story behind it unless he told it.
"Arwen must've slipped it on," said Aragorn dismissively before Legolas could explain further, "Later loser."
Legolas winced, his eyes burning with hurt as his best friend swaggered from the room, unaware of the great and quite evil power that hung around his neck.
A/N No it is not evil cuz Arwen will die without her Evenstar or anything like that. So the question is…why is it evil? And why the hell is Aragorn acting so…drunk? Lol. REVIEW and I'll post so you can find out!
