Chapter 3- Continuing in Chaos

Night is salvation for vampires. The light is bothersome, and tiring. As I sit with my back against a tree, and Hikari curled at my side, I feel at peace. Sam however is talking worriedly to Frodo, "L-Look Mr. Frodo! Mr. Bilbo's trolls."

I shake my head. This is crazy. I don't even know why I'm here.

Sam's eyes open wide, "Mr. Frodo? Mr. Frodo? Strider, he's going cold!"

Strider looks up, "Sam, Remi, come."

I groan, and send him a telepathic message, Can't it wait?

With my sharp eyesight, I see Strider raise his eyebrow, Remi, the ringbearer is dying.

I sigh, and get up, Hikari following. Sam trots over. I look indifferently towards Strider, "Yes?"

Strider explains that we need to find Kingsfoil, "It may hold off the poison in Frodo's wound."

We split up, Strider going right, Sam going left, and I going straight forward. After a couple of minutes, Hikari shakes her head, "Mew."

I yawn, "Yeah, there's nothing here. We should go find Strider."

Hikari nods, "Mew. Me-mew me'ew mow."

We walk past countless trees, before I recognize Strider's aura. A light aura too. Definitely an elf. I walk towards the light, finally ending up on a path, "Hey Strider, I can't find anyAh," I say, looking up only to see the lady Arwen talking to Strider, "Lady."

Arwen nods, "I trust you and Hikari are well, Remi."

I nod, and Hikari's eyes flash, "Mew."

"Remi, I found the Kingsfoil," Strider tells me.

I roll my eyes, "About time, let's go."

Later:

The Kingsfoil won't work as well as I'd hoped, Strider tells Arwen and I.

Arwen bites her lip, Then we must get him to my father. Remi, fly ahead and alarm him.

I nod, Hikari and I are fast by air.

Arwen smiles, Good luck.

Later:

I fly across the plains in front of me, dodging dead trees. I hear a huge rush of water behind me. Arwen has called upon the guardian. Hikari and I are going quickly, and I feel that I am being followed. Not a Nazgúl, it seems to be

"Beautiful, what brings you here?" Pheneus asks, then sees my expression, "The ringbearer, could I help some way?"

"N- No," I pant, flying is making me run out of air. Talking while flying isn't easy either, "W-Wait. Ch- Check on Lady and the ringbearer."

Ryu and Pheneus turn in mid-air, "Sure, see you at Rivendale."

I keep flying, and am surprised to see a black horse with blood-red eyes running next to me. It too, has wings, "Hey, Hikari look at that! It must have escaped the wave. I don't suppose..."

I swing onto the horse, tired of running, and it calms. It's because I am a vampire, and have an evil aura. But it seems even calmer with me than it is with a Nazgúl on it's back.

"What the crap is this?" I say out loud, "A saddle? Bridle? No."

I swing of, flying again, and quickly unlatch the girth on the saddle. The saddle slides right off. Next I move to the bridle. this one is tricky, because Hikari, the horse, and I are all flying at this point. I manage to get the bridle off, and growl. The bit is harsh, much too harsh.

I swing onto the horses back, and grab his mane with one hand, soothing it with the other. Hikari lowers herself onto my shoulder, and now only the horse is flying quickly. I see Rivendale's scenery looming closer.

I ride through the gates, and scatter many elves, riding up to a great house's doors. Here I dismount, "I must see the Lord Elrond!"

The guard elf shakes his head, "I'm sorry, but"

"Move, you dumbass!" I yell, sending a shield out of my hand, and propelling the guard backwards. I turn to the horse, and whisper into his mane, "Stay with Hikari, my dear Elendor. Don't let them chase you or the cat off."

The nods, as if he knows it is his name. Clever animal. I then run into the house, up the stairs, and into the room where Gandalf and Lord Elrond are speaking. Elrond looks angry, "Remi, you mustn't"

"Lady Arwen and Strider sent me," I cut Elrond off, "Frodo has been stabbed by a Nazgúl. Be ready to heal."

Gandalf looks very troubled, "How bad, Miss Remi?"

I stare out the window, "He has almost fallen into shadow. I have a... friend checking on where the Lady and ringbearer are."

Elrond sits back, "Then all we can do is wait? Are you sure this friend is reliable?"

I nod, "Yes... He'll make sure they get here safely. He is a vampire of Lothloríen. He rarely stops at Rivendale."

Next Scene:

The healing power of the Lord Elrond is unmatched by any other elf. Frodo got to Rivendale, almost fallen into shadow. He was healed, but is currently knocked out. I am in one of the many gardens of Rivendale, reading a book.

Suddenly, somebody puts a hand over my eyes, "Hey Remi, guess who."

I laugh, and remove her hand, "Jayna."

Jayna steps back, smiling, and I stand up. She grabs my book, "Demon in my View? Who's the hottie on the cover?"

I snatch the book from her, "Aubrey."

Jayna laughs, "How ya been, cuz?"

I shrug, "Well... I was kind of an escort to the ringbearer. We only just got here."

"No kidding," Jayna says, sitting down on the rim off the well near us. I join her, looking down into the well. Jayna looks towards me, "Hey, are you traveling with that hobbit? The cute one?"

I look disgustedly at her, "Those hobbits? Cute? Which one, Jayna?"

"The one with the curly hair."

I raise an eyebrow, "They all have curly hair."

Jayna nods, "Okay, I'll try again. Blond hair."

"Nope, that just tells me that it isn't the ringbearer."

Jayna thinks, "Okay, well, out of the hobbits that are awake, he's the smarter one."

"Ah," I answer, "Merry?"

Jayna snaps her fingers, "Yeah, that's the one!"

I shake my head, "He's smarter than Sam and Pippin, but Frodo's smarter. Overall, I think he's the bravest."

Jayna sighs, "Yeah... Hey, did you get a boyfriend yet?"

I am taken aback, "Wh- What?"

"Is it that vampire with the black hair?"

"Pheneus?"

"So he is!"

"What makes you think that?"

"Because he asked for you, ya dumbass!" Jayna answers, punching me in the arm, "I told him that you'd meet him in the courtyard. Which is where you should be now, by the way."

"Jeez, thanks for telling me so early," I grumble, "I guess I'll go meet him."

Jayna salutes mockingly, "Welcome."

I walk away muttering, "I swear..."

Next Scene:

I was glad to see Pheneus, and Hikari seemed glad to see Ryu. We went for a walk, and then parted ways. I am now sitting on the balcony of the guest building in Rivendale, reading Demon in my View, by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. Strider is sitting on a bench, reading a book on Middle Earth's history.

I shift my position a little, and Strider looks up, and says in his shady voice, "Do not fall, Remi."

I nod, "Don't worry. That's what my wings are for."

Strider opens his mouth, then closes it. I stare at him, and stroke Hikari who is sitting in my lap, "Is there something you wish to tell me?"

Strider nodded, "It's about that boy"

Strider turns his head, "Someone's coming."

I nod, slightly, and say telepathically to him, Don't worry, it's a human. I sense his humanly aura.

Boromir walked out onto the visitor's balcony. He looked around, and saw nobody (for Remi and Strider were blending into the shadows). He walked up to a picture of Isildur, cutting the ring and Sauron's finger form his hand.

He turned, and walked to where the shards of the sword that was broken by Sauron laid. He grabbed the blade, and started muttering to himself, as far as Remi could distinguish, he was talking about the sword.

A slight scratching at Boromir's leg made him look down. He saw a black cat, blended with the shadow's except for her blood-red eyes. the cat retreated into the shadows, and for the first time, Boromir noticed two people staring at him. The man had nothing special about him, but the girl was beautiful. Flawless, and perfect. What being could she be?

"Vampire." I answer, not bothering to be subtle, "I'm a vampire."

I can tell that Boromir is appalled that I would read his mind, "F- Fowl creature, what business do you have here?"

"She accompanied the ringbearer," Strider answers, "As did I."

Boromir looks surprised, and turns his attention back to the sword, and runs his finger up the blade, but cuts himself at the tip, "Ah! It's still sharp..."

Strider raises his eyebrow, and Boromir sees him. He drops the sword, "'Tis nothing but a piece of metal anyway."

He leaves, and I turn to Strider, "I don't trust him."

Strider nods, "Me neither."

Hikari jumps into my lap, "Mew!"

"She agrees," I explain.

"Can you really understand her?" Strider asks. I nod, "Yes, I can. Ah, I must go check on my horse."

Strider raises an eyebrow at me, "Horse...?"

I nod, hopping off of the balcony (Hikari jumps off of my lap beforehand), "Didn't I tell you? A Nazgúl's horse had escaped the river's fury, and he seems to like me. Would you like to see him?"

Strider puts his book down, and stands up, "Nazgúl? You'll never learn. Lead the way."

Next Scene:

When Hikari, Strider, and I get to Rivendale's stables, we find Pheneus talking to Elendor. He looks up when he senses us, and smiles, "Beautiful, I was just admiring your horse."

I nod, "Elendor. His rider was a Nazgúl."

Pheneus strokes Elendor's neck, "He's very well built. And he has ruby eyes like yours."

I meet his gaze, "And yours."

Strider clears his throat, "Remi, care to introduce me to your friend?"

I look towards Strider, "Pheneus, meet Strider, an escort to the ringbearer. Strider, this is my friend, Pheneus."

Pheneus gives Strider a nod, which Strider returns. Then Pheneus turns back to me, and places his arm around my waist, "Wanna go for a walk?"

I nod, "Sure."

Strider seems surprised, not expecting this. But I have decided that I do like Pheneus... like as a boyfriend I mean. It's not like he's ugly. Strider looks at me, and bows his head, "I'll see you back a the guest building then?"

I smile, "Sure."

Next Scene:

"Pheneus, you could be more subtle," I tell him, as we walk towards the river. Our cats follow, their tails twining together.

Pheneus plays with the red hair ribbon looping through the front of my hair, "I know. I know. Aragorn did seem surprised didn't he?"

I nod, smiling a little, "Yeah. Elendor seems to be better now, however, if anybody who isn't a vampire or isn't of dark aura comes near him..."

"...he freaks." Pheneus finishes for me," If Elrond finds out about Elendor having been a Nazgúl horse, he'll have something to say."

I shrug. Most vampire rangers have regular stops, either at Rivendale or Lothloríen. Surprisingly, most vampires brush Lord Elrond and Lord Celeborn off. Vampires do not serve, but the rangers feel inclined to have respect for the Lady Arwen and the Lady Galadriel. I care nothing of the Lord Elrond, but I do respect the Lady Arwen, who is wise and not as boring as Lord Elrond.

We sit down at the bank of the river. Hikari walks over to the very edge, and stares in. Ryu sits down next to her. Pheneus and I stare into space. His arm is around my waist, and I have my head leaning on his shoulder. My knees are pulled up to my chest, and I feel like falling asleep. Safety is something that comes with the night.

I turn my head towards Pheneus, "Pheneus, I"

Everything is blur. I feel Pheneus's hair brush my face. I can feel his lips on mine, and I am shocked to have them there. Pheneus pulls away, and stands up, signaling for Ryu to follow him. He walks for about 5 feet, and then turns and winks, Until next time, Beautiful.

I sit there, a shocked expression on my face. He waves, smiling, and walks away.

Next Scene:

Hikari and I walk into my room, to find Jayna in the other bed. Jayna and I are here often, so we share a room in the guest building. The only reason Elrond agreed to it was because there were already two beds in this room, and we had already painted the walls black. When I walk in, Jayna looks up and grins mischievously, "How was your date earlier?"

I look scornfully at her, "I told you, he's just a friend."

I am glad she doesn't know about my most recent walk with Pheneus. Jayna rolls her eyes, "Fine, fine, be that way..."

I grab some sleeping clothes out of my cabinet (a black cami, and black silk pants). I go into my bathroom (yes there are two, one on each side of the room), and turn on the water. I take a shower, then get dressed for bed. I walk out of the bathroom feeling refreshed, and get into bed with my book. But my mind can't seem to concentrate on gorgeous Aubrey trying to save Jessica's life after she was nearly killed by Fala. My mind is on Pheneus and the kiss...

A/N: End of chapter three! I will get flamed for this chapter! W00T! I've actually been in a bad mood lately, cuz I have strep throat, and Radio 1 cancelled Y100. When I heard about that (Y100 being my favorite radio station) I was trying to decide whether to scream or cry. TT

By the way, Jayna is Charlie'sPunkDrugAngel's character (you might recognize her from my brother's fanfic).
