Disclaimer: Lori is mine; Legolas and Haldir are Tolkiens, savvy? Oh, I think the Sheep thing is from another fanfic story. It's not my idea.
This is my first story. Please tell me if you like
Chapter 48
Legolas and Lori were in their room discussing very loudly what Lori volunteered to do.
" If anything were to happen to you I would die!" said Legolas.
" And you don't think I would? I don't want to learn you're dead from some other person," said Lori.
" Lori, there are things out there that are bigger than the spiders."
" What, like Sauron? Ringwraiths? The Orcs? The Great Eye? The dragon people that fly around? I know about all of it. It's nothing new. You know what my world is like! You know about the atomic bombs, planes that have missiles on them!" said Lori.
Legolas went to sit on the bed and put his head in his hand for a second then looked at Lori and said,
" I don't want you to get hurt."
" I don't want you to get hurt either, but I know many things that you don't about this," said Lori.
Legolas thought about it for a minute and then said,
" On this journey you make sure you don't put yourself in danger. Make sure you always have two knives by your arrows and the whole works," said Legolas.
" Don't worry. I will," said Lori hugging Legolas.
" Let's get married right now," said Legolas.
" What?"
" Now. Let's do it right now," said Legolas, " I know Whit isn't here and I know there aren't colored sheep, but I want to do it incase something happens to either one of us."
" Are you sure?" asked Lori.
Legolas jumped up, looked at Lori and said,
" I've never been more sure in my life."
" Who is going to do it?"
" I'm sure Lord Elrond would do it."
" Okay, I guess," she said with a smile on her face.
The two ran out of the room and ran to Elrond's study. The knocked on the door. Once they heard a enter they came in and explained what they wanted to do. Elrond looked at them in disbelief and said,
" Is that really what you want to do?"
" It is," said Legolas.
" Well, I guess we should not spend any time doodling and get this over with," he said.
Elrond went on with the ceremony. Too much surprise to Lori, it was much like a wedding back home. By the time they were to the part where the bride and groom got to speak, Lori's feet were killing her. They exchanged the rings and Legolas switched hands on her. He gave her his right hand (it is supposed to be the left).
" Wait a minute!" said Lori.
" Is something wrong?" asked Elrond.
Lori looked at Legolas and said,
" Wrong hand buddy!"
Legolas gave her the left hand and they went on with the ceremony. About five minutes after that, Elrond declared,
" I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."
Legolas did kiss her. He landed one on her, leaning her back and everything.
They left Elrond's study in hopes that they could get some sort of sleep.
The next morning everyone met in the courtyard ready to leave. They then left about an hour later and traveled very far, in silence. Knowing Lori, she couldn't take it, so she struck a conversation with Merry and Pippin.
" So where ya'll from?" asked Lori.
" The Shire," said Pippin.
" Shhhhhhh! You don't know her," said Merry.
" Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Lori."
" I'm Pippin." He nudged Merry.
" I'm Merry."
" Well, now that were off on a good start, what do you do in the Shire?"
" We farm, farm, there is much farming in the Shire," said Pippin, " Where do you come from?"
" Mirkwood," said Lori.
" Why doesn't the other elf talk much?"
" He's not the talkative type in a serious situation," said Lori.
" I beg to differ," said Legolas.
" You dare differ with me! I will send my wrath on you," said Lori pointing a finger at Legolas.
" Once you figure out what your wrath is," mumbled Legolas.
" I heard that you nut cake!"
" Your elf is not very graceful," said Boromir to Legolas. Legolas was walking in front of Boromir. Legolas immediately stopped and looked at Boromir and said,
" She is cunning more than men, she is swift, and she is graceful beyond your eyes. If we are to travel on this journey together then know one thing; if you ever insult, tease, or look at her the wrong way I will hurt you." Then Legolas turned and walked, leaving Boromir stunned at what Legolas said.
" Ohhhhhhhh, you are on his bad side now," said Lori.
" It is best not to say anything about the elf he loves," Aragorn said to Boromir.
Lori noticed that Frodo was walking in silence the whole time, she couldn't stand that. So she went to go talk to him.
" What up?" she said.
He looked at her strangely.
" Ohhh, you're not quite accustomed to my speech… um… how are you?"
" Fine. Thank you."
" So, are you also from the Shire?"
" Yes I am," he said, " Where are you from?"
" A place called Mirkwood," said Lori.
" I have never heard of that place. Though, I haven't heard of any of the places that we are going to," said Frodo.
" It's pretty land until you get around the big volcano, then it's just icky!" said Lori.
" Is it true what Boromir said, about the air there?" he asked.
" If you're asking if the massive army of Orcs need some deodorant then yes."
" What is that?"
" Um… I'm sure you'll find out later," said Lori as they kept walking.
A/N Okay. I know what all of you are thinking; why doesn't she tell Gandalf what is going to happen and get over with? Well she can't tell them because she doesn't want anything to go out of sequence and have everything rewritten and wrong! I guess what I'm trying to say is that she doesn't want to rewrite things. This way it will be funner! SORRY ABOUT THE DELAY IN UPDATING! I've had a lot of trouble with English , and I was grounded. WHITNEY! Call me! NOW! or I will hurt you Monday in English!
