Chapter 15
Jem heard a knock on her door, but chose to ignore it, she was FAR too comfortable where she was.
Lord Aragorn Jem heard a soft call from outside the door, and her eyes shot open. E'owyn. * Hmmm, this could be fun* Jem thought to herself. Jem snuggled closer to Aragorn, and his hold around her tightened, even in sleep. Jem heard the door open a crack. Lord Aragorn, I am supposed to wake you... E'owyn trailed off at the sight before her. She couldn't believe it, there was Aragorn, his arms wrapped tightly around Jem, in bed together?! E'owyn didn't seem to notice that they both had their clothes on, then again, E'owyn wasn't thinking much when she saw Jem in Aragorn's arms.
Oh, you tramp! E'owyn screamed, not caring if her voice came out as a high pitched screech. How could you? I wanted him! Jem was already out of the bed, staring with hatred at E'owyn. Aragorn was just coming around, but he had heard that entire last bit.
Well, i'm sorry if I hurt your chances with him Jem said harshly.
You are so dumb, why would he choose a peasant like you, over a princess like me? E'owyn said haughtily. Looking Jem straight in the eye, this caught Jem off guard, because she had always been insecure about that, him choosing someone better over her. E'owyn took advantage of Jem's trance like state, and tackled her to the ground. And just like that, the cat fight of all time was on.
There were kicks, punches, scratching, biting, hair pulling, basically, the whole chick fight thing.
Legolas and Kat stood in the doorway, Kat was astounded. This was almost an exact reenactment of a fight they had had in Gym once, minus the screams of Jerry, Jerry' from the other students. Kat used her powers to pull the two girls apart.
Now, now girls, don't make me separate you two Kat looked at how they were already separated, blushed and added er, more? Kat was the only thing stopping the two girls from attacking each other once more.
E'owyn looked disheveled, and pissed off, as did Jem. Kat stepped in between their glare fest. Goodbye She said, with a curt nod in E'owyn's direction. E'owyn looked at Kat incredulously, she wasn't going to leave! I said goodbye Kat said, glaring at E'owyn. E'owyn opened her mouth, as if to protest, but Kat beat her to it. If you don't leave this room right now, you will have Jem, AND me, on you, and I don't think you want that, do you? Kat said smiling sweetly. E'owyn could tell she wasn't kidding around, so she left the room, grudgingly, with two long scratch marks on her face, a bruise on her arm, and a tuft of Jem's hair in her right hand.
Once she had left, Kat turned to Jem. Now Jem, I told you NOT to get into a cat fight with E'owyn! Kat said, hands on her hips, teasing her friend. And i'm gonna have to ask you to save the rest of the fighting for the REAL war
She started it! Jem protested angrily. Bitch She muttered.
Well, I have to say im impressed though, she left here with scratches, and bruises, and all you're missing is a tuft of hair, which you can't even notice! Kat said looking her friend up and down.
Then how do you know its missing? Jem said flatly.
Saw it in her hand Kat explained. Kat and Legolas left the room, We'll meet you in the hallway She called over her shoulder, sensing they wanted to be alone.
She was wrong you know Aragorn said, once Kat and Legolas had retreated into the hallway. I would prefer you over a thousand princesses He said tilting her chin up, to meet his eyes. She was snotty, self centered, and nasty, in all senses of the word! While you are pure and good, two things she can NEVER be Jem smiled at him, and they began to walk for the door. Plus Aragorn added slyly Now I get to say that my girl beat up a Princess of Edoras He said while smirking. And before Jem could protest to the beat up' part, he bent down and kissed her quickly on the lips. Jem was shocked into submission. He pulled away, and Jem looked up at him.
Your girl huh? Jem said teasingly.
Like you expected less He said, as they entered the hallway hand in hand, they found Legolas sitting by one of the pillars, and Kat sitting on Legolas' lap, with her head on his shoulder. They both hastily got up. Kat looked at Jem with a smile. Things settled? She asked the brunette. Things are settled. She answered back. They made their way into the armory, to see the great army of Helms Deep. They were greatly disappointed.
They looked around, Gimli huffed in a corner, he was regretting not taking a nap like the rest of them had. Most of these men have seen too many winters Gimli said, taking in the sight around them.
Or too few Legolas added, doing the same as Gimli. Look at them, they're frightened. I can see it in their eyes. He said while turning around, then turning back again, in annoyance. He began to speak in elvish, Kat had learned elvish in her visions, and had a little help from a friend, so she translated telepathically for Jem.
Boya houn Legolas said, turning to face Aragorn again.
And they should be Kat translated.
Nei lai tarai'n, dan carmanique? Legolas said, looking at the villagers pitifully.
Three hundred, against a thousand?
Mel yeschat tume ny letherodas Aragorn said, looking at Legolas with understanding, and hope.
They have more hope of defending themselves here than at Edoras
Aragorn, nedine dagors hen ouri otheres Legolas said looking at Aragorn despairingly. Natha daga thire! He said harshly.
Aragorn, they cannot win this fight, they are all going to die!
Then I shall die as one of them! Aragorn yelled, stepping close to Legolas' face, before turning, and walking up the steps to the ground level. Jem gave Kat a look that said I have to follow him, I wish I didn't but I do' before racing up the stairs behind him. After all, the girls were staying with their men, no matter what the cost. Legolas moved as if to follow her, but Gimli stopped him.
Let him go lad, let him be He said patting Legolas on the back.
Aragorn and Jem
Aragorn sat on the steps to the hall of Helms Deep, Jem sat down beside him.
You do not know the outcome of this battle, Legolas may be wrong She said, trying to, once again see the brighter side of life. Aragorn looked at her surprised.
How did you know what we were saying? He asked shocked.
Oh, Kat was translating for me Jem said offhandedly.
How does Kat know Quenya? Aragorn asked, forgetting the despair around him.
Oh, in her visions, she could follow who she wished, so she followed Legolas around a lot, like she does now, and picked up the language. Also, someone in this realm was able to see her, an Elven guard, though young for an elf, he taught her the language as well Jem said, smiling at Aragorn, and glad she was able to take his mind off of his troubles. Why don't we get inside, and put some armor on you, because if you get badly wounded in this battle, it'll be nothing compared to the hell i'll give you afterwards Aragorn smiled, and went back down into the Armory, getting on some armor, as well as was Jem. He was interrupted as a sword was handed to him.
Aragorn looked up to see Legolas, and smiled.
We have trusted you this far, and you have not led us astray, forgive me Legolas said, handing him his sword.
There is nothing to forgive Aragorn said.
Gimli sauntered into the room, with a thing of armor around his chest, Had we had more time i'd get this adjusted Gimli dropped the armor to full length, and it touched the ground, and still was far too long. It's a little tight around the chest Gimli explained, causing the girls to burst into giggles. All of a sudden a horn blew in t he distance.
That is no orc horn Legolas said, as they started up the steps to the main gate. They got to the main gate and were shocked to find hundreds of elves, awaiting orders! They heard the end of Haldir's speech.
We've come to honor that allegiance Haldir said, looking towards Aragorn.
Aragorn walked to Haldir, and embraced him in a hug, which Haldir awkwardly accepted. Legolas shared a hand shake, the girls could tell that these men had known each other for a long time from the looks of it.
Kat looked around, bored, when she saw a familiar face, and ran to the back of the army of Elves. Legolas saw her sudden movement, and followed at a distance. He heard everything that happened though.
Kat listened in on a conversation two Elves were having near the back.
All right, i'm willing to believe that you saw something, but someone? You really must have lost it Said the Elf further from Kat, who was facing her.
She was there! You just couldn't see her, and i'm very worried, I haven't seen her in months! Normally she comes by every few days! The second Elf said, he was closer to Kat, but his back was to her.
Maybe that's because no one can see her! The first Elf said exasperated.
I can! The second Elf said, and - The second Elf was interrupted, by Kat who was behind him.
Enkil? Kat asked, making him turn towards her.
Just a moment Kat Enkil, the second Elf said, before turning back to his friend. Now as I was saying, if she were here...... Enkil trailed off, and quickly turned around. Kat! He shouted with glee, before pulling her into a hug, which she wholeheartedly returned. He pulled away after a few moments, but still held onto her hand. Where have you been? I was so worried Enkil looked behind Kat and saw an irate Prince Legolas. It looks like i'm talking to myself Enkil said, looking towards the ground forlornly.
No, actually Legolas can see me! Kat said happily to Enkil.
Really? Enkil asked, hope shining in his eyes, when Kat nodded his face broke into a smile.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Important Note: all right, the next bit of the story will be VERY confusing if you don't read this first. There are going to be two conversations going on simultaneously, one telepathic, and one vocal. You see, Kat and Enkil have mastered the art of talking to each other telepathically, while talking to other people vocally, they are like two different entities. They had to learn how to do this when Kat couldn't be seen by other people, so that Enkil didn't look like he was talking to himself, and if people came up to talk to Enkil, he knew how to talk with them, while talking with Kat as well. First i'm going to show you the conversation Legolas hears, then I'll show you the conversation they really had.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Conversation Legolas Heard
So how do you two know each other? Legolas asked suspiciously, he did not like this Enkil person, to think, he had the nerve to hug HIS Kat! Wait a minute, his Kat? Where did that come from, ok maybe he should think into that a bit more later.
Oh, well, when I first had my visions, I could follow people around, and on one of the days I was following you She said, trying to sound nonchalant, although truth be told, she almost ONLY followed him. I was shocked to find that someone could actually SEE me! You see, I was invisible to people, but not to Enkil, he could see me just fine! So we started a friendship. He taught me Quenya, and so now, I can speak it almost fluently! She said beaming up at Enkil.
Legolas changed his mind, he didn't dislike Enkil, he HATED Enkil. * She is beaming up at him as if he were, well, me! I cant believe this! I have to get her attention focused more on me, and less on him* Kat turned towards Enkil, a look of innocence on her face.
Enkil, I know that you are a reasonable and understanding person, so I would appreciate it if you kept a few things to yourself Kat said, smiling at him sweetly.
Oh, you mean like that time when you tripped while following Prince Legolas around, tipped over a vase, and made me take the blame? Enkil said looking highly amused. Kat pursed her lips, and her eyes looked murderous.
Yes, exactly like that time She said venomously. Enkil laughed, and put an arm around her.
That was you?! Legolas asked, almost laughing at the look of horror crossing Kat's face.
Yes She said, blushing to her toes Thanks for sharing that with him Enkil Kat said, and if looks could kill, Enkil would have been dead a hundred times over.
Anything for you Kit Kat He said laughing.
Kit Kat? Legolas asked, not sure if he wanted to know, after all, they were acting like two people in love, and this was seriously getting on Legolas' nerves.
Yes, I once brought over a candy from my realm, let him have some, and he decided it was amazing, like me, so once he found out that it was called a Kit Kat, he put the Kit in front of the Kat in my name, and nick named me Kit Kat She said, embarrassed.
No, I said, it was sweet just like you Enkil said correcting her. Kat smiled up at him again.
Legolas was about ready to smash this Kid into a bloody pulp, they were flirting! He knew it, and he was going to do something about it, although it was going to have to do something a bit more subtle than smashing Enkil's face in.
Kat, I think we should get back to Jem, and Aragorn, no doubt they will be worried Legolas said, pulling Kat closer to him. Kat waved a hasty goodbye to Enkil, before being pulled away by Legolas, and going down a corridor she had never seen before.
The conversation Kat and Enkil were REALLY having
Hey, I haven't seen you in so long! Well, I can see that you have made friends as quickly as possible with Legolas. Enkil said, talking with Kat telepathically, as he was so used to doing.
Yes, it was one of the first things that I took care of, by the way, you have to watch your strength Enkil, that hug you gave me practically cut off my oxygen supply!
Sorry, i'm just testing a theory, in the next few minutes, i'm going to be flirting with you, now the-
YOU WHAT?
Let me finish! The reason i'm doing this is to see if he really loves you
He doesn't. Kat said, sighing inwardly.
How would you know? Do you love him?
Yes. Kat answered quickly, shocked that she knew so fast.
Well then its settled, you love him, he loves you, get over it!
God, I have just realized what a terrible influence I am. Kat said laughing.
Well, don't doubt yourself, he loves you I know it, you may not be able to tell, he has had thousands of years to practice hiding his emotions, but I can tell, I can see it in his eyes, Prince Legolas wants to kill me.
Prince. Kat said, trying to wrap her head around the word . I have never thought of him like that, how strange, Im in love with a prince! Kat said, almost giddy with the idea.
Well, don't look now, but i'm pretty sure that soon Legolas is going to want to take you away from me, and claim his territory.
Kat was about to joke, at the claim his territory' remark, when she realized that Legolas was taking her away, just as Enkil had said he would. * Hmmmm, maybe Enkil was right about that love thing* Kat thought to herself. What Kat didn't know was that Enkil was still listening in.
I'm always right.
That was the last thing she heard Enkil say, before she entered the passageway.
Back to real time, no more telepathy, where we left off in both places.
Kat was looking at Legolas strangely, where was he taking her? She had never seen this corridor before. Legolas sat down on a large stone near the end of the passage, which Kat noticed, was a dead end. Kat, on instinct, sat on Legolas' lap, and looked up at him before laying her head onto his shoulder.
So, you and Enkil seem.... close Legolas said slowly, trying to not show his hatred for the boy.
Oooh, do I sense some jealousy radiating off of the Elven Prince? Kat asked, in a light teasing tone.
Of course not! Legolas denied quickly.
Yea, sure Kat said skeptically. but you shouldn't worry so much, you'll always be my number one elf Kat said, smiling radiantly up at Legolas, and before he knew what he was doing, he leant his head forward and kissed her.
Back to Aragorn and Jem
Where the hell are they? Jem asked, enraged, she couldn't find Kat anywhere! She saw a figure next to her choke on his ale, but thought nothing of it.
The figure next to her was Enkil. * My, my, my, they ARE having fun!* Enkil thought, laughing inwardly. It had been ten minutes since the two had left his sight, and no one had seen them since! Just then thwo people exited a small tunnel to his left.
We have been looking for you everywhere! Jem said, pointing a finger at her friend.
Um, we have been looking for you! Kat said, trying to sound convincing.
Well the battle will begin soon, we must get to our posts! Aragorn said, running to his post. They had decided where everyone would be earlier. The two girls would stand on a large pillar, towards the front of Helms Deep, where both men could see them.
Once they were on the pillar Jem turned to Kat.
all right spill She said, looking in Kat's eyes, to know she wasn't lying.
Kat smiled What? there is nothing to spill She said defensively.
Come on!
All right, when you saw Legolas and I we were just leaving a......
Yes?
Heated make out session! Kat squealed
You are unbelievable Jem sighed
Come on, I know you have kissed Aragorn, I can see it in your features, your incredibly happy
Well, yes Jem admitted, a blush creeping to her cheeks.
I knew it! Kat said
He said I was greater than a thousand princesses! Jem said happily.
He would, considering you have slept with him
Slept BY him! Jem said quickly.
Technically, you slept with him Kat said.
Then technically you have slept with Legolas Jem said smartly. Kat wiggled her eyebrows. YOU ARE SO PERVERTED! Jem said, while laughing. Plus Legolas is like three thousand! That's disgusting!
What can I say, I have a thing for older men! Kat said, sighing and putting a hand over her heart, both girls burst into laughter. Their laughter stopped abruptly as they saw the huge army of orcs in front of the great wall. And with that, the battle began.
