Chapter Fifteen: discovering weakness
Disc: Rehersal...blaaaaaah
A/N: Okay, I'm working on set crew for my school's musical so updates are gonna be few and far between for a few weeks. The only good new is that I will probably be uploading two or three chapters at a time. Well, just giving u the heads up.
Aragorn and Legolas were the only ones seemingly awake. Though they hardly ever slept anyway. Aragorn thought that Holly might still be awake though. Her movements were not the same as they were when she had been asleep. She coughed and the two companions noticed how it seemed to shake her whole body. She sighed tiredly after it stopped.
"You okay Hol?" Tricia asked.
"Yeah.you know me.always sick." Holly replied. She hated the fact that she was so weak. She was always sick. Especially with stomachaches, they just always seemed to be there. No one ever took her too seriously though because it was so common. It worried her though, the doctors couldn't really figure out was wrong, they had found lumps inside her.though it wasn't cancer. They weren't sure if that what was causing the pain either. What could she do? She ate healthy but never gained any weight.the doctors always asked her if she ate.she ate like a pig and nothing ever stayed. Her friends hated the fact that she could do it but it scared her.it just wasn't normal. Though nothing about her or her friends ever seemed normal.
Aragorn looked worriedly at Legolas.was Holly okay? What did she mean always sick? Now that he thought about it she always did have a rather pale look about her. Her coughing was even weak.like it hurt to do so. She had scars on her arms and one on the outside of her right foot. Also.Aragorn got the impression that she was more sensitive than she let on. Afraid to show what she really thought and felt.
Tricia cared a lot about her friends.but she had low self-esteem. Pretty as she was she could not see her true worth. This saddened Legolas. The fact that these girls would come from a place that would shun their talents and make them think less of themselves seemed like a foul place. If only she believed in her inner strength more.
Finally Holly fell into sleep. Unpleasant and unrelenting thoughts seemed to dwell within her mind constantly. Legolas was the first to speak.
"Holly has proved her loyalty.what of the other two?"
"I think that they are just as loyal if not more so. Holly had other intentions.none of which included taking the ring, but still it seemed too perfectly done. She was protecting someone." The man pondered.
"What of Rachel? She.seems to be quite mature and a strong leader among the group. Though that is why I believe her and Holly quarrel so often." The elf stated. Aragorn looked curiously at him. "Tricia.mentioned that they had been arguing. I feel that it's because Holly is the eldest and sees no reason for Rachel to be leader or to have authority. Though, to someone like you she has more respect for because she feels that you're noble and also that fact that you are older." Legolas explained. Aragorn nodded. So they all had weaknesses, even within their own trust of each other. Though he got the impression that no matter what, it was not each other that they were mad at.family was an untouched issue, for the moment.
