Daughter of the King Chapter 7: My Love, a lord of the rings fanfic

Daughter of the King

Chapter 7

Disclaimer: I don't own Lord of the Rings or anything in here! Wish I did and mainly I wish I owned Legolas's Booty! But I highly doubt that would ever happen! Anyway- on with the damn story!

Arethen slowly woke to the sun beaming down onto her, she was at first a little disoriented, then she remembered that she and Legolas stayed here so they could catch up on some much needed rest, and so Regotho could rest as well. She opened her eyes and rolled over to see a hilarious Legolas! His hair was no longer perfect but a mess, a big mess to be exact.

With noise in the background, Legolas began to wake he slowly rubbed his eyes so they could adjust to the bright sun. He finally realized with the noise in the background was, his angel's laugh, but what was she laughing at? Of course it could not be him! He was just too damn perfect.

"Um- Legolas I suggest that you go look at the water." She sniggered at him.

"Why? What is wrong with the water?" He questioned as he got up from his bed and walked over toward the water. He looked into the water not noticing anything was wrong with it, until he caught his reflection in the water, once again Arethen burst out laughing at his face which seemed like he saw to orcs going at it.

"Not a morning person I presume?" She teased as she laughed some more at his shocked face. He turned to her and smiled sweetly, "You know you like it so don't complain!"

"You wish elf boy!" she yelled back smiling up at him, since she was still sitting on her makeshift bed.

"It is not nice to lie you know? Plus no one can lie with a beautiful face like that, and no one has ever lied to this face before." He gestured to his face.

"With that face, and hair I don't see how someone can't." She laughed some more, with Legolas joining in. They sat there in a comforted silence after a while just enjoying the others presents.

"Breakfast?" he asked as he turned to her pulling her hand into his with a sly smile on his face. She nodded and he soon walked over the bag that held all of their fruits and vegetables. They ate enjoying the presents of the other as they listen to the wonderful sounds of the forests surrounding them. Arethen slowly finished eating and got up and threw the core of her apple into the green forest and walked toward the little creek and began to hum.

Legolas eyes followed her every step of the way as she looked like a goddess that no one could touch. Slowly he pulled out of his thoughts when he heard her begin to sing.

"Wash away the thoughts inside

That keep my mind away from you

No more love and no more pride

And thoughts are all I have to do."

She began to hum the melody of the songs as she continued,

"Remember when it rained

I felt the ground and looked up high and call your name

Remember when it rain in the darkness I remain"

She began to dance in small circles, while still singing and humming to an imaginary song that played amongst the wind.

"Tears of hope run down my skin

Tears for you that will not dry

They magnify the one within

And let the outside slowly die"

"Oh- Remember when it rained

I felt the ground and looked up high and called your name

Remember when it rained in the water I remain,"

With that she stopped and leaned down toward the water and began to draw lazy circles in the water sending tipples to the other side of the creek. Legolas looked in her in awe not knowing what to say, he was speechless, for the first time in his life no words came to his mind. He was in utter shock as he continued to stare at her. Then finally it came to him, he wanted to hear her sing again so he opened his mouth, "Arethen can you sing again, you have a beautiful voice, like and goddess please just one more song." He stated as she blushed tremendously and slowly nodded her head and began to hum again.

"I have been blind, Unwilling, to see the true love you're giving

I have ignored every blessing; I'm on my knees confessing..."

"That I feel myself surrender each time I see your face, I am staggered by your beauty, your unassuming grace, and I feel my heart is turning, Falling into place, I can't hid it, Now hear my confessions."

She stood slowly and sang in place as she looked over at Legolas whose eyes were locked on his.

"I have been wrong about you, I thought I was strong with out you, for so long, nothing could move me for so long, nothing could Change me.

"Now I feel myself surrender each time I see your face. I am captured by your beauty, your unassuming grace and feel my heart turning falling into place I cant hid it Now hear my confessions"

She slowly walked over toward Legolas as she continued to sing,

"Your are the air that I breathe you're the ground beneath my feet When did I stop believing?"

Slowly she stopped and sat down next to Legolas putting her head on his shoulder and let out a deep sigh and began to drift off to sleep as he held her close, just as she fell asleep she fell Legolas's lips kiss the top of her head and they lingered there for a second before they pulled away. After that all she knew was a pleasant darkness. Legolas wrapped his arms around her waist and laid him and her back and then slowly pulled her onto his chest and fell into sleep as well.

Legolas woke to a smiling girl above him; he slowly lost his breath as he looked at her in complete awe. Slowly he came back to life and spoke softly, "You know you are completely breath taking, and I think I am falling in love with it, actually I think I am falling in love with you Arethen."

Her smile grew and soon she spoke, "That is good to know because I think I am falling in love with you to Legolas Greenleaf." He smiled up at her and slowly placed his lips up against hers, she would have deepened the kiss if it where not for the grunts coming form the forest.

"What the hell?" She said as she pulled away, and as the elf under her sent out all of his sense and realizing there were a huge group of orcs surrounding them.

"Orcs, lots of them, get yours sword and prepare to have a long battle." He spoke in a hurried voice as he gathered his bow and arrows long with his sword. Just before the orcs attacked he leaned over to his love and kissed her lips and said, "Be care love," She nodded slowly and gave a short replied of 'you too,' he nodded and set a bow into place and turned his back so that there back were facing each other, slowly and shackling Arethen put a arrow into her bow. Legolas slowly nodded his head and head and let his arrow fly into the forest, as well as Arethen but in the opposite direction.

Orcs came storming out of the forest and, the young couple pulled out their swords and began to kill the orcs slashing them in their stomachs and arms. Legolas nailed the ugliest orc with a straight blow to the head, but who was keeping count on the ugliest they were all ugly to him.

Arethen had her lot under control until she tripped over a rock as she too a step back, Legolas saw it and fought furiously killing any orc in his way. He had 3 orcs until he could get to her. Some of the discussing creatures fleeing into the forest leaving only a handful left, but the strong one came up in front of Arethen and as he drew his sword high into the air and firmly, with all of his strength forced it down upon the girl. The sword cut her from one side of her stomach to the other leaving a deep gash.

Legolas ran over and finished killing the orcs he ran over to Arethen looked at her, she was fading and face she would not live if he did not get the blood to stop. He ran over gathered some of her sleeping blankets and tide them tightly around her waist coving the gash as it soaked up the blood. He ran over to Regotho and untied him and pulled him over to Arethen. He leaned over and carefully picked up Arethen slowly and placed her on her horse, watching her grimace in the pain. Legolas threw his leg over and pulled the reins and put pressure on to the massive animal' side and got him to run through the forest with all of it might. Legolas only hope he could find help in time, so he could save his new found love, and live.

...insert evil laugh here... Wow- long time to update. Sorry it took so long, school started and I can't find time because my parents are being a pain in my tushie! Okay the two songs that Arethen sung were not mind, they are from Josh Groban's CD Closer- very good I might add saw him in concert and he is soooooo hot, but not as cute as Legolas or Orlando Bloom, but I HIGHY doubt that anyone could ever beat those two. Anyways the first song was called 'Remember when it rained,' and then the second one was 'My Confessions.' I will try and update soon so crosses fingers hope you like it, and sorry to leave you hanging!
