Aragorn had tried to study Holly as he healed her. Trying to figure out what she was thinking and if her friends and her could really be trusted. They had acted rather calm but he saw the sadness and fear in her eyes. She was afraid, of the fellowship, of death, and most of all of the idea that one of her friends could be hurt. They were getting ready to sleep now. The three girls' had unpacked something called a sleeping bag, which resembled a fabric cocoon. The men had watched them unroll the bags and then the girl's looked at them.
"Um, we'll be back in a minute." Rachel said as they left the group. Aragorn and Legolas insisted on assisting them to keep guard but Holly had just pulled out a dagger and told them to stay. When the three returned they had been wearing revealing clothing that made the hobbits blush if caught looking at them. Holly was wearing a red spaghetti strap shirt and cotton red pants that had white stars and writing on it. Rachel was wearing a long T-shirt and black pants. Tricia was along the same lines as Holly. The teenagers crawled into their sleeping bags and said goodnight. Holly tossed and turned for a minute then sat up.
"Yes?" Aragorn inquired.
"I.I just wanted to apologize again for hitting you. Also, Merry, for snapping at you." Holly said as she half hung her head. She did not wait for a reply, just laid right back down and tried to go to sleep.
It was late; Most of the men had been starring at the girl's. The hobbits whispered amongst themselves but the others kept quiet. After a few hours Aragorn finally relaxed and talked.
"So what are we going to do?" He asked Gandalf. The wizard looked at the man and smiled.
"Let them come with us, of course." Gandalf replied.
"We know nothing about them. Also they will only slow us down." Boromir stated.
"Not so. I have a feeling that they can defend themselves if need be, but they are new to this world. They need guidance and protection. They will come with us." Gandalf said finally. He wasn't sure how, but he knew that these three would be a bigger part of this quest and how it ended than anyone anticipated.
"Holly's interesting. I wanna learn more about her!" Merry whispered to Pippin.
"I'm more interested in Rachel. She looks like a dangerous one she does." Pip replied. He was pretty sure that Rachel would be hard to get close to, but that it would be worth it in the end. Holly was to changing for his liking. She never seemed to make up her mind about anything.
"They are so strange. All of them different in a lot of ways, yet the same. It's like they shouldn't be friends at all yet certain similarities have helped them form a strong friendship that could last a lifetime." Legolas thought to himself. He didn't talk much, and when he did it was only to say something important. Tricia reminded him of an elf and Rachel too in some ways. They both tried to keep their feelings hidden and moved with a certain grace. Yet Rachel still seemed to be too old for her own good. Like she was a young girl trying too early to be a woman. Tricia looked like an elf. She looked both old and young at the same time and always had certain sadness around her. He wanted to learn why she was like this.
"We need to learn more about them." Aragorn said sternly. Boromir and Gimli nodded in agreement. Legolas, Frodo, and Sam just looked at him. Merry and Pippin were still whispering to themselves but stopped because they felt that a discussion was about to take place.
"We have learned a great deal already." Gandalf stated as he looked at the sleeping girls.
"How so?" Sam asked.
"By their actions thus far. Yet we shall see more and learn much soon. We should sleep and not worry tonight. I'll take first watch." The Wizard said. Aragorn looked as if he was about to protest, but thought better of it. The Hobbits, Gimli, and Boromir shrugged and laid down to go to sleep.
