Chapter 12
"Miss Emily, I'm not sure if I can explain that to you…" Legolas said looking concerned about me asking.
"Oh come on! If you tell me I'll give you a cookie!" I said nudging him in his side.
"A cookie?" he asked looking at me oddly.
"Nevermind… just can you tell me? Pretty please with sugar and cherries on top?" I said jumping up and down like a five year old in a toy store. I needed to know dang it…
"Let's go back to camp, and I'll ask Aragorn if he thinks it wise to tell you." Legolas said turning back towards the woods.
"Fine meany…" I said following him. It was starting to get dark enough to see the stars up in the sky. "They're so beautiful.."
"What are Miss Emily?" Legolas said stopping and turning towards me.
"The stars…" I said still gazing up at the darkening sky. "Stars are something that you can always count to be there. Always up higher than any man… or elf… could ever imagine going. Shining down on you, letting you know however bad things get, you can count on them."
"I know something else that's beautiful…" Legolas said as I turned my gaze at him. Yeah me too…
"What?" I asked as he leaned closer. OHMIGOD he's going to kiss me!!! Just when his lips were about to touch mine….
"Legolas! Miss Emily!" Pippin screamed knocking us down. Damn it damn it damn it…
"What Pippin?" I asked trying not to let him see the annoyed look on my face. Legolas wasn't too good at that, he looked down right peeved.
"Well it was getting dark and you two hadn't come back yet, so Aragorn told me to come look for you two." Pippin said looking from me and then to Legolas. "Oh I didn't.. interrupt anything did I?"
"No, we better get back to camp." Legolas said standing up and helping me up. He looked at me with a 'we'll talk about this later' face. We walked back to camp and found everyone sitting around the camp fire cooking dinner.
"Well look who finally decided to grace us with their presence." Merry said laughing as I threw a conveniently located acorn at him.
"Aragorn I need to speak with you." Legolas said as Aragorn nodded and stood up. They walked back into the woods and I sat down by the fire with the rest of the guys. Pippin jumped in my lap.
"I wonder what they're talking about." I asked looking into the rising flame. I knew it was probably about the ring that Legolas wasn't aloud to tell me about, but I thought it would be a good conversation starter.
"I think I know…" Frodo said laughing.
"What? Tell me, come on blue eyes." I said grilling him for more information. How does he know?
"We, and as in we I mean myself, Pippin, Merry, Sam, and Aragorn, think Legolas has grown affection for you." Frodo said winking at me.
"Uhm.. I don't think so…" I said feeling my face get red. "So what's cooking?"
"Okay, we're back." I heard Aragorn say from behind me. Oh joy…
"So what were you guys talking about?" Pippin said winking at me.
"You're going to get it later." I whispered to him and playfully hitting him.
"We can not discuss it at the moment…" Aragorn said looking around.
"Riiiight…" I said rolling my eyes. I could feel eyes burning into the back of my skull. Oh crap here it goes, he's going to ask to talk to me. What do I say? AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Yeah you got the idea.
"Miss Emily?" Legolas said kneeling down beside me. "Can I speak with you for a moment?"
"Er… sure." I said standing up and following him to the same place him and Aragorn had gone a few minutes earlier.
"Miss Emily, I'm not sure if I can explain that to you…" Legolas said looking concerned about me asking.
"Oh come on! If you tell me I'll give you a cookie!" I said nudging him in his side.
