An- Wow guys...only five chaps left...

Chapter 52

Erin, Niori, Carla and even Jane stood among the most respected guests in all of Middle-Earth and watched as Aragorn, all dolled up in his king attire, and Arwen, in the most beautiful wedding dress any of the girls had ever seen, stood in front of the huge crowd and were married. Gandalf acted as the minister, standing above the couple like he had when he crowned Aragorn a little over a week ago.

Every few moments, Erin, Niori and Carla would glance at Jane to make sure she was holding up. None of them could understand how she was acting. Instead of sad and depressed, she had a small-satisfied smirk on her lips…almost like she was up to something.

I don't understand, Niori thought to herself, glancing over at Jane uncertainly, she wasn't like this before…it's like a 360 turn in attitude. After she tired…after she tried to almost kill herself, she shouldn't be acting like this. I'm happy she's not depressed anymore, but something's just not right…

Trying to ease her suspicions, Niori tried to force herself to listen as Gandalf spoke.

Niori soon found that wedding proceedings seemed to be a universal thing. The vows were pretty much the same as in her world. Finally, they came to the 'I do's'. It was Aragorn who was to speak first.

Just as Aragorn's mouth opened, Niori caught it out of the corner of her eye as Jane moved out of sight. She looked towards where her friend had disappeared to, and jumped in surprise as-

" CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES! THIS IS MY LAST RESORT!"

The loud music seemed to come out of nowhere. The whole wedding seemed to jump about a foot in the air. They looked around in shock as 'Last Resort' by Papa Roach blasted through the quiet air.

" What the hell!" Carla cried from beside her, looking at both her and Erin in confusion.

It hit Niori then…why Jane had had the self-satisfied smirk just before disappearing…

Jane had done this…

l.l .l.l.l .l.l.l.l

Aragorn approached the four girls (who were glaring angrily at Jane) with a face of full fury.

" Which one of you put on that stupid machine and ruined my wedding!" he practically screamed at them, glaring especially at Jane, " and don't deny it was one of you! You're the only ones who know how to use the damn thing!"

Under Aragorn's intense glare, Jane felt totally remorseful about what she had done. Tears started to well in the corners of her eyes…what had she done? She just wanted to die…again…

" It was my fault Aragorn!" Niori suddenly spoke up, taking a step in between Aragorn and Jane, and letting Aragorn's hateful gaze rest on her, " but it was an accident! I brought the CD player out here, because I figured afterwards there'd be a party, so I was going to supply the music. I put it under the table so no one would trip over it or whatever, but I guess someone kicked it and set it off. I am so sorry!"

Aragorn glared at her hatefully before turning and storming away.

Once he was gone, Niori whirled around and set her blue eyes storming at Jane.

" I have officially ruined my friendship with Aragorn," Niori hissed angrily at Jane, " to stop him from killing you, so you owe me…you owe me big!"

With that, Niori pushed roughly past Jane and stormed back into the building.

l.l.l.l.l.l.l.l.ll

" That stupid, good for nothing…!" Niori screamed angrily, throwing a random thing across Legolas's room.

" Calm down Niori!" Legolas cried, jumping to the side as the vast she threw shattered on the wall.

Ignoring him, Niori continued to scream out obscenities.

" I should have just let him kill her! Better yet, I should kill her!"

" Niori!" Legolas cried again, grabbing on to Niori's shoulders to make her listen to him, " Calm down!"

Niori stared up at him, the fury still dancing in her cerulean eyes. A deep breath exhaled from out of her lips.

She's mad, Legolas thought, watching as the woman he loved tried to control her emotions, she looks about ready to kill the nest person she sees…

" If you don't calm down," he spoke, his voice calm and soothing, " you will give yourself a heart attack. You have every reason to be angry at Jane, because you took the blame for her selfish actions, but there is no reason to throw things, things that are in my room, not yours, and throw a fit,"

Glaring at him for a moment, Niori let out another calming breath and spoke.

" I'm calm…I'm calm alright,"

" Good," Legolas told her, " maybe now you'll listen to reason. Aragorn will eventually calm down, and then he'll see that everything is okay. Hopefully, Jane will step forward and will apologize and Aragorn's anger will be shifted off you (and eventually off Jane). If not, I'll talk to him. He's my best friend…he'll listen to me,"

Niori studied him silently for a moment and then spoke.

" Fine…you win," she smiled a little, " and you better be right, or I'll kick your oh-so-perfect ass from here to high heaven. Now," Her smile turned into a smirk, " help me get out of this dress…"

l.l.l.l.l.l.l.l.l.l

Erin sat beside Frodo, his arm around her waist (Elijah in her arms) and Carla, sitting snugly on Eomer's lap, sat across the table from them.

" Niori's going to kill her," Carla stated simply.

" Yeah…that she is," Erin replied, shaking her head, " speaking of, where did Niori disappear to?"

" I saw her stalking off earlier, Legolas following close behind…" Frodo replied.

" The Elf has got his hands full with that one," Eomer spoke for the first time.

" And you don't?" Carla replied with a laugh, turning her head to look at him.

" I'm almost afraid to ask," Erin sighed, " But where's Jane?"

" Out on the courtyard complementing her sins and all that stuff,"

" My God Carla," Erin sighed, " How do we always get ourselves into these things?"

l.l.l.l.l.l.l.l.l.l

Niori slipped out of the bed silently, moving as quiet as she could as to not disturb the sleeping Legolas. As much as she wanted to just lie there in Legolas's arms, she hadn't been inside her own room for three days, and she was really looking forward to seeing her things again.

Pulling her dress back on, Niori quietly opened the door, glanced back over her shoulder at her sleeping lover and slipped out of the room.

She moved down the hall and just as she grew closer to her room, she turned a corner and came face to face with Jane.

" Niori I'm-" Jane started at once, looking close to tears already.

" Don't Jane" Niori cut her off, surprised that she was no longer angry, " I was mad before, but Legolas managed to calm me down. But here's the thing Jane, you're nothing but a selfish bitch!"

Niori's words caused Jane's mouth to fall open in surprise and hurt. Niori had NEVER said anything so hurtful before!

" I'm sorry if I sound really mean," Niori continued, her voice plain and dull, " but you really need to see things the way they are. I understand that you're heart broken, I really do. You really do love Aragorn and it hurts that's he's with Arwen, and I get that. It'd be the same for me if Legolas was with someone else, but that never gave you the right to ruin other people's lives. I just can't understand, if you love Aragorn so much, why did you try to ruin his wedding? Do you realize how miserable he will be? Weddings are supposed to be happy, and you ruined it. What gave you that right? You're nothing but a bitch for doing it. I'm not trying to hurt you by saying this, but I'm only trying to make you see it how other's do. Only a complete bitch would do what you did,"

Jane felt tears slipping down her pale cheeks and she felt sobs gathering in her throat. She was about to break…

Without another word, Niori turned and closed the door behind her as she left.

Jane started to bawl.

l.l.l.l.l.l.l.l

An- Jane's troubles aren't over yet...maybe they're only beginning...
