Disclaimer: The usual, I'm not the proud owner of LOTR (even though I wouldn't mind owning Haldir). Anyway, I don't...... I'm just borrowing. ^_~

I was bored, completely bored. I rested my cheek in my palm, and my elbow dug into Haldir's back (which I took great pleasure from). I sighed, blowing my bangs out of my face. I could sense my younger sisters watching me warily, and I chuckled to myself. 'Maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow, but someday...' I left the thought wide open for enjoyment.
Beth whispered to her twin, "I don't like that look Amee." Amee nodded, keeping an eye on her older sister.
A few minutes rolled by when the pain in my stomach became unbearable. Haldir had ignored all my threats and even my pleads to let me down, but noooo the arrogant elf just wouldn't listen! Jerk.............Jack-ass. Oooh better word. But that
name-calling wasn't helping my pain, so placing my hands against his back, I pushed up to look around to find anything to help me escape this, this................. I can't even think of any more words to call him!
Twisting my body around I spotted a low hanging branch coming into view. 'Alright!' An evil plan was forming. My eyes sparkled with glee as the branch got closer and closer. With my upper torso strength, I could easily grab the limb and escape!
But before I could even stretched out to grab it a cold, deep voice broke through my concentration. "Don't even think about it, child." I couldn't think of one thing to say in my defense and sputtered. 'Stupid elves and their oh so neat sense of, of damn I couldn't even curse him in my own head!'
It's hard to cross your arms and sulk properly when you're over someone's shoulder. I went back to that palm against cheek, and digging my elbow into his back. I thought, 'Maybe that wasn't such a good idea anyway. But Lord that elf is enjoying
himself way too much. He seems to know exactly how to irritate me.'
I yawned widely and my ears popped and my jaw cracked (ouch). My eyelids started to slowly lower. 'I didn't realize how tired I was, until now.' Shifting slightly so I could get as comfortable as possible, I closed my eyes. I smiled before I drifted of into dreamland. I could fall asleep anywhere, under any condition.
()_() It was dark. Confused, I looked around. 'Wasn't it light just a few moments ago?' All I could see were torches lighting up the darkness. This scene looked familar, for I had seen this in history books. It looks like a battlement of a castle or a keep and I was standing on a battlement, looking over into darkness. It started raining to rain, but I was not getting wet or feel the cold.
A chill ran down my spine, as if someone walked over my grave. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. It was a beginning of a battle, and not a 100 yards away from the Keep was an ocean of creatures as far as my eye could see. I looked around through the falling rain and saw not even 300 men. This was like watching the Battle of the Alamo unfolding before my eyes. But then I realized that the men of the Alamo didn't have Elves alongside of them. It was then I recognized one of the Elves. It was Haldir, and to say the least I was shocked.
Why was he here?
I thought he hated our kind. Well, hate was a strong word, mistrusted was more like it. I think Haldir hated those creatures more than mankind.
Men and Elves, standing side by side, ready to fight to the end. But one Elf stood out. He was standing a little ways from Haldir, and I was unfamilar with him.This elf caught my attention, and no, it wasn't because he was the most gorgeous being I had ever seen. Well, besides Haldir that is. This elf seemed different to me, more compassionate to others that are not his kind. He was the polar opposite of Haldir, not in looks but in emotions and attitude. He was handsome in his own right. Tall and lean, with long blonde hair that flowed to his tapered waist and braided away from his face (must be a warrior thing). He was a couple of inches shorter than the March-warden. But his eyes, they were the most intense, brightest blue eyes I have ever seen.
There was a shorter being beside this strange elf. Okay, way shorter, since his helmet was just peeking over the battlement. I leaned over to get a better view of this short being, though with the darkness and what little light there was, I could only see a bushy beard and a husky, short build. I could swear that this one was a dwarf and I looked around expecting to see six more of them.
The two enemies clashed violently, but battle became a blur to me until a shout rang down from the Keep.
"Aragon, fall back to the Keep! Get your men out of there!"
The ruggedly handsome looking man shouted to the Elves around him. Glancing above him he saw that Haldir didn't hear the call, and shouted up at him. Haldir gave a slight nod and shouted to his men. I watched in horror as he was left alone and a black creature struck him, hitting him in the arm. I could see his eyes widen in shock. I gasped as he was struck again, this time from behind. I had tried to scream a warning, but my voice seemed frozen and not even a squeak came out.
Time slowed down as icy tears ran down my face. That jerk, that pain in my ass, died. His eyes turned vacant as he fell backwards into the arms of the man called Aragorn. I felt so helpless, and let out a silent scream of the pain. 'Why him? Why?' I screamed over and over.
Then I heard it a voice cutting through my tears. **Child, awake. You are scaring your sisters and my March-warden...**()_()
I gasped awake, looking around frantically, not realizing that I was not on Haldir's back. I was on the ground, but I didn't even notice my sisters worried looks, or the others that were there. Al I saw was Haldir, and out caring for the consequences of my 'rash' action, I leaped at him and wrapped my arms around his shoulders, crying into his chest
A familar soft voice spoke into his head, **Comfort her Haldir, and bring her to me. Her dream gave her much pain.**
*Yes milady.* And with that, Haldir picked her up and carried Kat the rest of the way to Caras Galadhon.
My concerned sisters gathered around Haldir and whispered to me in soft voices, "Sis are you ok? You started crying and screaming, yelling Haldir's name...." As my sisters babbled on, I felt my face turn hot, 'God I was blushing AGAIN!' I was mortified. I had never felt so embarrassed about my actions, and then I had to go and end up in Haldir's strong arms.
Without thought to my safety, I leaped out of Haldir's arms and onto the ground. My feet, (curse them) were asleep and they tingled (horribly). I almost fell to the ground when strong hands grabbed me (none too gently) around my upper arms, pulling me to my unsteady feet..
"You are a stubborn child."
I glared up at him. "At least I'm not a jackass, Hally!" 'Ohhh, my sarcasm is back in full force. And strangely enough this Elf brings it out.'
He growled while I smirked and chuckled under my breath. 'Got his goat! Got him, got him.' I sang in my head. I glanced at him at the corner of my eye. He was glaring at me, and he hissed through clenched teeth, "What was that chuckle for?"
I tried to look innocent, but it's hard to do with a evil smirk. "Nothin' Hally."
"DO NOT CALL ME, HALLY!"
I cringed as his voice echoed through the trees. I glanced over at my sisters, who shook their heads at me. They had never seen their big, responsible sister act this way to anyone. I agreed with their unspoken thoughts. I *had* never acted this way. At all. This attitude was very uncharacteristic of me.
I peeked over at the startled faces of Haldir's fellow border guards. They were shocked, to say the least, at Haldir's complete loss of control.
His grip on my arm didn't ease as he dragged me along behind him. I could practially see the steam coming out of his pointy ears. I had to jog to prevent being dragged across the ground behind him, so by the time we reached the stairs I was exhausted.
What happened after me being dragged, it was a blur. I couldn't even see straight, until I was standing in front of the most beautiful Elven woman in the world..........strangly enough we were standing in our birth order...................................
AHHHH CLIFFIE!!! Sorry everyone for that *cringes* but I'll get the next chapter as soon as I'm able!!
Thanks for ALL the wonderful reviews ^_~
