A/N: Yeah so, what's up? Yeah I know you're all ready to read my fic so I'll stop procrastinating and write it.
Emerald: Don't forget to write the disclaimer.
EPS: What!
Emerald: Well it has come to my attention that for the past few chapters you have "forgotten" to write the disclaimer.
EPS: So what's your point?
Emerald: I'm doing you a favor by reminding you. You could get kicked off you know. I'm thinking of you friend.
EPS: No! Your foiling my plan! You see it's basic psychological science, if I don't say the disclaimer, which states that I don't own it, then people will begin to think I own it, even Tolkien himself, so then i will own it! BWAHAHAHA :THUNDER AND LIGHTING, AND CREEPY MUSIC:
Emerald: Your making that poor man roll over in his grave. He's going to come back to haunt you ,you know.
EPS: NO he's not. He's dead.
Emerald: His ghost will, and it will be very scary, with all those bones, and flesh hanging off him.
EPS: G...ghost! Is it a nice ghost
Emerald: No because it's pissed off 'cause you didn't write the disclaimer.
EPS: Oh well since you put it that way...
DICLAIMER: I do not own LOTR or any of it's characters and would never, ever in a million years think of making a plot to steal it and own it for myself. :CoughLIEcough:
"Jamaica, Bahamas, come on pretty , what is it again? Ahh words words words..." Sapphire sang, trying to think of anything to keep her feet from freezing. I'm so pathetic. I'm in capable of maintaining my own body heat so I have to sing The Beach Boys.
"Frodo!" Aragorn cried as the hobbit fell down the mountain side. Aragorn, helped Frodo to his feet, as Frodo felt around for the one thing that could destroy Middle Earth. Everyone watched and stared as Boromir picked up the ring.
"Boromir." Aragorn said with a hint of warning in his voice. Boromir, though seemingly strong on the outside, was like everyone else when it came to the ring ; easily corrupted.
"It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over such a small thing." He said, his voice sounding flat and monotone like he was in a trance. "Such a little thing." He murmured, transfixed by the small ring that was dangling from it's chain.
"Boromir!" Aragorn said more forcefully this time. Snap out of it! Sapphire thought resisting the urge to snap her fingers in his face. "Give the ring to Frodo." Boromir shook his head slightly, seeming to snap out of whatever spell he was under.
"As you wish." Boromir said and ruffled Frodo's hair as a friendly gesture. "I care not." He said and walked of ignoring the stares that bore into his back. Everyone was so busy wondering about Boromir that no one noticed Aragorn let go off his sword.
"We will rest here for the night" Gandalf said as the fellowship gladly sat down. Aragorn and Boromir set to making a fire, while Sam started making dinner, with the help of Frodo. Merry, Pippin and Gimli were betting off the last of their weed, while Gandalf sat, lost in his own little world.
Sapphire sat farther away from the group feeling very out of place. I don't belong here. She thought sadly I'm just a result of some twisted freak accident that sent me to a completely different world. I'm nothing more than a burden to them. She was feeling very down, as it was, and now this sudden realization made her feel worse. Music will help me, it usually does. She struggled to reach into her backpack, and get her C.D player which held her Kutless C.D in it. (A/N :Remember this is pretty hard considering her hands were tied behind her back.) "Oh I give up!" She shouted, her good mood turning sour once again. "Am I just not aloud to listen to music? The one thing that brings me peace and solace?" She asked looking at the ground. You just down like me down there do you? I mean you just wake up in the morning and go 'Oh gee what can I do to make Sapphire's life miserable? Oh I know, lets get her hit by a truck and magically sent to Middle Earth!' I hope you choke from all that smoke from the fire." She said evilly.
"Talking to the ground again Lady Sapphire?" Legolas asked from behind, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Is that so strange?" She asked. Legolas resisted the urge to role his eyes but couldn't help but tease her a little.
"It seems that you have reached a new level of insanity, milady." He said
"And there's never a dull moment." She said, still avoiding eye contact. Why did she feel all fluttery inside? Like she was going to hurl.
"Yes only you would enjoy insanity."
"If you just came over here to insult me then you can just shove it." She growled.
"No, actually I came over to see if you wanted anything to eat."
"No, thank you." She said turning away, here stomach doing a flip.
"Sapphire, you must eat something! You haven't eaten all day!" Aragorn exclaimed.
"Why thank you Big Brother." She said. She was not trying to sound like a biznatch or anything, but they were just so frustrating! Aragorn looked confused not knowing she was being sarcastic. ( Big Brother is a television show my parents watch.) What do they care? She thought.
"We are only trying to help." Legolas said angrily.
"Well I would appreciate it if you would take your help and shove it up your-" Legolas quickly and angrily yanked out his knifes. No, stabbing her would not result in anything, but a quieter fellowship. He thought and was about to put them back and resolve this in a civilized manner when Sapphire ruined it.
"What is it with you and those knives! Are you their lover or something!" (Sapphire and her big mouth, right?)
"Well seeing as how your absolutely terrified of them I use them a lot more."
"What!" She was found out. It's all over he knows, everyone knows. "I'm not afraid of your stupid knifes, I'm just wondering if you have something going on between the two of you." Legolas finally let himself get angry and threw the knife to her throat, only meaning to scare her a bit.
"Get away from me, Brian!" She screamed fearfully, mentally slapping herself as she realized her mistake at calling him Brian. A strand of her dark brown hair fell back from her face, revealing the pail white scar that trailed down her face. Suddenly Legolas realized why she was so scared.
"Did this Brian person hurt you?" He guessed, wondering if there was more about Sapphire than he knew, than anyone knew. "Did he give you that scare?" Legolas sheathed his knives so she wouldn't be afraid anymore.. Sapphire was seething. What right did he have to know her secrets! What right did anyone have! Suddenly every angry feeling she had came out in buckets. She blew up.
"Who do you think you are!" She screamed. "Just because your some elfin prince you think you're entitled to pry into peoples personally lives? Well I got news for you elf boy, YOUR NOT! And you know another thing, You don't need to protect me, okay. I'm not some poor little innocent girl that wants some big strong man to say he'll protect her and make everything all right." Everyone turned around to watch, thinking this was their usual kind of argument, and that everything would be fine in a matter of moments. They were expecting Legolas to fight back, say something but he didn't. He just stood their with his usually placid expression not saying anything at all. "I don't need your help, I don't need anyone's help!" S he yelled and stalked off to her pallet, leaving behind a very hurt elf.
All night Sapphire couldn't sleep. She kept tossing and turning, thinking that maybe, just maybe she was a little to harsh. No you weren't he had it comin' Besides why are you feeling so guilty? You've yelled at people like that before and never once felt guilty. She turned around again on the pallet. Yeah, and who let you borrow his pallet. Yup, Legolas. Now she felt worse! I'm not some poor little innocent girl that wants some big strong man to say he'll protect her and make everything all right. Her words echoed in her ears, and you know the worse thing? She was wrong. She did want someone there to say he loved her, and to have a shoulder to cry on. To say that everything will be just fine, and no one would ever hurt her. Oh great now I'm contradicting myself! She told herself. It's not like I love the guy! She thought. Wait do I? She thought remembering the feeling in her stomach when he was near her. Maybe it was just nausea. Oh well I at least owe him for yelling at him like that. Conveniently it was his watch . She sighed No time like the present right? She got up reluctantly and walked over. She thought about going back, but knew he probably heard her already.
"Legolas?" She said quietly. He turned around meeting her gaze with a blank expression.
"Yes? Am I violating you space know along with your privacy. Here let me move milady." She winced at how he said it. Geez, even when he's being mean he's polite!
"No I, well... Um... You see."
" Lady Sapphire are you trying to apologize?" He asked, his cold manner wearing off slightly.
"Yes, and your not making it easy." She said with a small smile. Legolas smirked.
"I don't plain to." He said a small smile beginning to form. "Go on."
"I... I'm not very good at this." She said looking at the ground. "What I'm trying to say is that well, I... I shouldn't have blown up at you like that. I guess you were just a little worried and I... I'm sorry." She said and breathed a sigh off relief. Legolas smiled warmly, which made her stomach do that weird flip flop thing again.
"I forgive you. And I am also sorry." He said. Sapphire looked up startled. She wasn't expecting that!
"For what!" She asked.
"For prying. It was none of my business and you clearly didn't want to talk about it, and for that I am sorry." Legolas said.
"I...I forgive you."
