NOTE: I HAVE CHAPTER 7 WRITTEN SO I WILL ADD IT WHEN I GET MORE REVIEWS....
We had been walking for sometime and came to the beginning of the woods of Lothlorien.
"We should sleep here for the night," Aragorn said. Sam and Frodo started a fire, as I sat down near it. No one said a word since the death of Gandalf.
"We should check this," I heard someone say. I looked next to me and saw Legolas; he was looking at my arm. He took off the cloth, and brought something to it, that started to burn.
"What is that," I yelled pulling my arm.
"It is medicine made by the elves, it will heal the cut," he said softly, he lightly grabbed my arm again, and became to put the medicine on again. Then I looked up at the sky, rain clouds began to move in.
"Looks like rain," I said, and then suddenly it began to pour.
"This is great," Boromir said, we grabbed our stuff, and sat under the trees, at the edge of the forest. The tress kept some of the rain away, but we still got wet.
"It could be worse" I said, and then we heard thunder.
"Just shut up Alisa," Aragorn yelled. I laughed, along with Pippin who was next to me. Legolas was on the other side of me, and he was also next to my brother. I moved in closer to Legolas who seemed not to mind. I felt things for him; I cared for him, but only as a friend at the moment. I did not want to get close to anyone, even if they seemed like they would never hurt anyone.
My hair started to curl, and stick to my face. My clothes where drenched, and I began to shiver. Pippin was as close to me as he could get.
"We have to get out of the rain," Boromir yelled.
"Where would we go," my brother asked, "It is letting up soon." I started shivering even more, Legolas pulled me closer to him, the rain and the cold seemed not to be bothering him. Then finally I fell asleep.
"Jonea please don't leave me," Alisa cried, she stood outside, and her best friend stood by his horse.
"I must go find my father, he is out in the wild, maybe dieing" he said.
"Please, Rolland is after me," she cried.
"Don't be silly, no he isn't. He just loves you a little to much." He explained he touched her cheek, then mounted on his horse.
"I will be back before you know it…"
"Come back soon," she whispered….
I finally woke up, as I looked around Pippin was next to me, and on the other side was Frodo. We where all curled up, trying to get warm. I sat up, not wanting up the others. Legolas, Boromir, and my brother sat by the fire. My hair was still drenched, but I had on someone else's cloak.
"It is mine," I heard Boromir say.
"What," I asked.
"The cloak is mine," he said. I went to take it off but he stopped it.
"Keep it, yours is drenched." He explained. I sat down next to my brother.
"When did the rain let up," I asked, hugging my arms around my legs.
"About two hours after you feel asleep," my brother explained.
"Should we wake the others," Legolas asked. I looked at the hobbits and Gimli, who where asleep.
"No not yet, they been threw so much," I said.
"So have you Alisa," Legolas said, I just looked at him, and then go up. I started to walk away from the forest, and sat down on the ground.
"I am sorry milady," he said standing behind me. "I did not mean it."
"It is not your fault Legolas; this journey is making me remember things." I said, standing up and looking up into his eyes. He look into my eyes and if felt like he could see into me.
"I see fear in your eyes; you don't think we are going to make it. Do you?"
"Legolas…" I yelled startled.
"Do you," he asked again. I looked at him, and then looked away.
"No," I finally said, not looking at him. He then walked away, leaving me standing by myself. I then head something walking up behind me; I gripped my sword tighter, and then pulled it out, swinging it behind me. My brother stood behind me, blocking my sword.
"Aragorn, you scared me," I said, putting my sword back into the case.
"We are going to start into the woods now," Aragorn said, I walked quietly behind him, and saw the hobbits and the dwarf where up, and ready to leave.
I walked last in the line, the woods where beautiful, but a sense of evil surrounded them. No one spoke, just walked along admiring everything.
"Stay close, young hobbits. They say that a great sorceress lives in these woods, an elf-witch of terrible power. All who look upon her fall under her spell," I heard Gimli say, he was in front of me, and I was lagging behind.
"Alisa," I heard a voice whisper. I stopped to look around, but saw no one, when I went to ask the others if they heard the voice. I saw no one.
"Aragorn," I yelled. "Great, I am lost." Then before I knew it I was surrounded by elves with their bows drawn. One of them grabbed me, and started to drag me to more elves.
"Let me go," I yelled but the elf was clearly stronger than me.
"She is with us," I heard Aragorn voice yell. I was never that happy in my life to hear his voice. The elf let me go and threw me into my brother, who caught me before I fell.
"Haldir o Lórien. (Haldir of Lorien). Henion aníron, boe ammen i dulu lîn. (We come here for help.) Boe ammen veriad lîn. (We need your protection)" my brother said in elfish. I had also learned and could pick up a few words.
"Aragorn, these woods are perilous! We should go back!" Gimli yelled.
"You have entered the realm of the Lady of the Wood. You cannot go back. Come. She is waiting." Haldir said, and he led us to the city. The sight was breathe taking, never had I seen a city so beautiful before. We climbed many stairs, the young hobbits in front of me and I could tell they where tired. Then suddenly the Lady appeared, a glow of light erupting from her.
"Eight there are here, yet nine there were set out from Rivendell. Tell me, where is Gandalf, for I much desire to speak with him." Celeborn said.
" He has fallen into shadow. The quest stands upon the edge of a knife; stray but a little and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while the company is true. Do not let your hearts be troubled. Go now, and rest, for you are weary with sorrow and much toil. Tonight you will sleep in peace..." Lady Galadriel explained, she looked at me when she said this.
Everything was happening so fast, Lady Galadriel spoke, then suddenly we where rushed off to a place where we could sleep. I was given fresh new clothes, and a bath that the elves claimed it could calm my spirits.
"We should camp in the trees instead of on the ground," I said as I sat down on the ground, looking at my sword.
"Some do not do well into the tree Alisa," I heard Merry say, who sat a few feet away from me.
"Are you scared," I laughed. Merry looked at me, then looked away and I saw a smile spread upon his lips. Then I heard signing, beautiful voices in the air.
"A lament for Gandalf." Legolas said, I looked at him, he was wearing white shirt and leggings.
"What do they say about him," I asked,
"I have not the heart to tell you. For me the grief is still too near." He said looking at me, then Frodo. The hobbits, and the dwarf started to drift off, but I could not. I had a feeling Legolas was disappointed of me, and I could not sleep with my heart full of grief. I walked over to where he would be sleeping, and found him awake. I sat down next to me, and he looked at me then looked away.
"I am sorry Legolas," I said, "I am sorry for giving up. You do not understand, your made for this, you train for this. I do not."
"I am sorry to, for not understanding' he said.
'I must go, very tired," I said standing up.
"Sleep well, milady," he said, and he left it at that. I walked back to where I was supposed to sleep. I felt the feelings like I was losing something as I walked away from Legolas. I looked at him once more, and he did not notice. But I was not losing anything, I was gaining a friend, a friend who cared for me more than I could feel for him right now.
