Chapter Forty-seven: Rivals
Disc: blah monkey
A/N: Ello.sorry I haven't updated in a bit. I've been busy. Will try to keep it up though. This one's kinda short but it's all I could come up with. Boink...yes.I just typed boink. Enjoy!
Most of the men were asleep by now, the full moon lit up the forest with a silver light. Tricia felt rather lonely in the lake.not that she was too keen on taking a bath with other people but it was a little scary to be out on her own. She had asked Aragorn to make sure that no one followed her, but she could never be too careful. That was partially the reason why she was wearing the bikini that she had brought along for the trip.wow, she had forgotten about how it all started. The trip to Europe and the plane crash, would they ever see Earth again? Suddenly the forest felt too quiet and the human wished that she hadn't run out of batteries. Holly had brought a lot even though she could have bought plenty in Europe.
~~
"I know it's a lot of batteries, but I don't trust foreign brands.these haven't failed me yet!"
"Holly, you're a dork."
"Hey! .You're mean.Tricia help me out on this, please?"
"*laughs* Sorry Hol, you're on your own."
~~
It all seemed so long ago.so much had changed. They were all so different, and so were their feelings. It was going to be so hard for Holly and Rachel to leave Merry and Pippin, to try and forget would almost be impossible. Tricia sighed a little as she thought of herself, and how it was going to be hard to leave, but not quite as hard as she was pretty sure that Legolas did not care for her the way she did for him.
"What is she thinking?" Harding whispered as he starred at Tricia. He knew he shouldn't be there but he wanted to protect her.and watch her bathe. She was so hard to get close to and was always glancing off at the Elf. The warrior frowned as he thought of the elf prince who often held Tricia's gaze. He gulped as the girl stood and began to wash herself with soap that Harding knew smelled like the wild flowers that grew in the fields where he used to play when he was a young boy, the scent drifted to him with the cool night breeze. Tricia wasn't fully exposed, but this was still more than inapropriate for him to see. His grip tightened on the tree branch and he could not tear his gaze awat from her.
He crept silently closer to the Rohan rider gripping his dagger with silent outrage. Harding showed his affection for Tricia without hesitation or thoguht. This was more than disrespectful.and Legolas would not let the young man go unpunished. He stretched his arm forward and held his dagger to Harding's throat. "What do you tihnk you are doing?" he hissed.
"I was only making sure that Lady Tricia is safe. It is dangerous for her to be out here alone." He shifted slightly but was very careful not to alarm Legolas.
"She is fine. Tricia is very capable of taking care of herself, now.I shall escort you back to camp." He removed his dagger and looked sternly at Harding, who looked displeased, but not as much as Legolas would have hoped. If the young man had looked more dissapointed it would have meant that he had not seen much, but this looked revealed that the elf had arrived too late to save Tricia's privacy.
The small bits of noise came from the left of her, but she soon dismissed them as small animals. She quickly finished bathing and dressed, hurying back to camp she looked around as if whatever had made the sounds earlier were still around.
A/N: Sleep..wait.it's only 11:00, wow, I'm out of it! Well, please R&R!
