He's dead. He's dead and it's all my fault. Sapphire couldn't help thinking that, no matter how many times she tried to tell herself that it wasn't, but she knew it was. She replayed that event in mind over and over again, in which she went out and saved him, and he was alive. But he wasn't. She often found herself looking back, expecting to see the old wizard climbing over the hills. Whenever Merry or Pippin said something stupid she expected to hear the wizard's usual sarcastic comment, but she didn't, nor would she ever.
I don't know why I'm taking this so hard. She thought writing the words in her journal, something she was beginning to do more and more.
It's not like I really knew him. I guess it's just because I feel so guilty and so stupid! I mean this always happens! I always forget the things that seem so important until just before or after they happen! What if someone dies again! I don't think I would be able to take it again. I don't think Legolas or Boromir trust me very much, they just except the fact that I'm here. I have to say, I'm a little hurt by this. You'd think that after a couple of weeks (or months) they would have already figured out that I'm not going to kill them in the night, or destroy their precious ego. Well, that I might do.
"What are you writing?" Pippin asked, making Sapphire jump 5 feet off the ground.
"Nothing." She replied, quickly closing the book.
"Well obviously it's something or you wouldn't be trying to hide it. Now let me see it." Pippin urged, trying to grab it. Noting her urgency at trying to hide the book, a thought struck the hobbit. "It's a diary isn't it?" He asked with a sly smile.
"NO! It's a journal." She said through gritted teeth. "Now leave me alone." She stuffed the black book in her backpack and stormed off.
"What's wrong with her?" Pippin asked, as Boromir walked up next to him.
"You never can tell with people like her." He said.
"I heard that!"
"Why are we stopping?" Sapphire asked as they slowed to a stop, near an eerie forest. Not that she was against it or anything, her lungs felt like they were about to burst, and she swore that any moment her legs would fall off, and Gimli looked a little winded himself, if she wasn't mistaken. Gee, I guess the Olympics are out of the picture for me. She thought sarcastically.
"We're here." Aragon said solemnly.
"Ah, so this is Lothlorien?" she asked. Everyone nodded, and they all elapsed into silence. Sapphire looked up through the trees, quite content. She felt at peace and then horribly sad at the same time. I wish my mom could see this; she loves forests... For the first time since she left she was thinking about home. Home. The word seemed so foreign now...
"Stay close to me hobbits," Said Gimli suddenly, snapping Sapphire out of her thoughts. "They say there's a sorceress about, an elf witch of evil power." An elf witch! What was Aragorn leading them into? Wait a minute, not an elf witch Glorfindel! No Galadriel, I think. What's wrong with me? Sapphire thought, shaking her head in frustration. Why couldn't she remember?
"Well here's one dwarf she won't ensnare so easily. I have the eyes of a hawk and the ears of a fox." Gimli said haughtily. "Oh." The dwarf said, surprised, as the group was suddenly surrounded buy arrows. Yeah Gimli, a blind hawk and a deaf foxSapphire followed the arm up to see another blond elf. Oooh, pretty elves. Sapphire thought. Another elf walked up, wearing a haughty expression.
"The dwarf breathes so loud we could have shot him in the dark." He said. Sapphire rolled her eyes, much to the distaste of the arrogant elf. Yeesh, do all elves have such an ego? Could even be counted as an ego, or just hatred toward dwarves, and everyone else for that matter.
No, not all of us. Someone replied, inside her head.
WHAT THE...! Oh God I'm going crazy! Wait no Emerald's right; crazy people don't admit they're crazy. The voice laughed. AHHH! I am crazy! Okay little voices, time to go back to the padded room with the rubber duckies. (A/N: A.K.A: The asylum.)
You are quite a character, Sapphire Forester. But hopefully bravery is among your characteristics, for surely you will need it, a greatdanger follows you.
Umm... Right. Sapphire thought in response to her voices. I am not crazy, I am not crazy. I WILL NOT GO WITH THE CRAZY PEOPLE!
"Are you alright?" Aragorn asked.
"Yup. Just peachy." Considering that there are people talking in my head, I'd say that's pretty good.
"You have entered the realm of the Lady of The Woods. You cannot turn back." Haldir said theatrically and Sapphire rolled her eyes. (A/N: She's very good at that.)
"Of course we can turn back!" She yelled and whirled around, and faced a particularly pointy arrow. "Oh." Was her response.
"Like I said, you cannot turn back." Remarked, Haldir, and they followed him further into the forest.
A/N: WHOOPY, I'M DONE! Yeah..., so, PLEASE R&R. Yeah I know it's not one of my better chapers but hey, I'm only human. So... no flames please.
Emerald: What do you mean please?
EPS: Please as in, pretty-please-with-sugar-on-top-no-flames.
Emerald: That's better much better.
