Chapter 9
"You don't have to baby sit me Legolas..." I said trying to pull away my arm. Dang this guy has a good grip. Wonder what he does in his spare time...
"There are orcs everywhere Miss." Legolas said letting go of my arm. "I do not wish to see you get hurt."
"I'll be fine, we haven't seen any orcs for hours." I said as he sighed and I walked off. Why can't he understand I just need a little me time? I walked into the woods and stopped by a huge rock. As I sat down I heard a noise behind me.
"Oh #%$.. I knew I should listen to the elf..." I looked around, but I saw nothing but trees. "Uhm... Legolas is that you?"
"Yes Miss I am sorry to frighten you." Legolas said walking up. Gee I was glad it was him. But it kinda pissed me off too.. I mean I told him to leave me alone, yet he still follows.
"Why did you follow me?" I asked as he sat down next to me.
"I myself do not know.." he said looking at me. "As soon as you left, I started behind you." Well this is awkward..
"So... how far away is Rivendell?" I asked trying to lighten the mood.
"Not that much farther miss."
We sat on the rock for awhile staring up at the stars. Even though we were in a big, dark forest, I felt safe sitting next to Legolas.
"Would you like to back to our camp now Miss?" Legolas said standing up.
"I guess we probably should.." I said standing up also. We started walking back towards the spot where we set up camp. I started humming a song without noticing it.
"What is that you're humming Miss Emily?" Legolas said making me notice what I was doing.
"Oh I was humming? I have a song stuck in my head.. It's called My Immortal. It's really pretty." I said as he smiled.
"Would you sing it for me?" he asked. Oh no way.. His looks aren't going to trick me into singing...
"Maybe another time." I said laughing. Whew good save.
"Oh come on Miss Emily." he said laughing. Well I guess it wasn't a good enough save...
"Okay.. But only a little bit... and I can't sing very well, so you better not laugh." I said nervously. Geeze what I do for this guy.
"I promise." He said as I sang the first few lines of 'My Immortal'. When I finished, I looked up and noticed he was smiling. "That was beautiful Miss Emily."
"Aw shucks.. Thanks.." I said blushing. We got back to camp, but our stuff was strung out everywhere. "What the hell.."
"Something is not well. A sense of evil is growing in my mind..." Legolas said quietly looking around. Oh shit.. not again...
