Title: Control
Disclaimer: I do not own LOTR.
A/n: I will not be answering any reviews that were only insulting me coughUscough but I will answer other reviews.
"Eh? Oh hey Rai! What are you doing here? I thought I was walking with all those elves. Or the better question is what happened to those elves and my friends." I said looking around the forest background confused.
"Simple. You ran into a tree and lost conscious. You really need to look where you are going." Rai said looking at me with a creepy stare that I was just realizing for the first time that it was scary.
"Oh. How long do you think I will be unconscious?" I asked curiously.
"You could wake up now if you wanted. But right now they are cleaning the blood on your head from when you ran into a tree." Rai answered.
"Oh give it a rest already! I could really wake up whenever I want to?" I said glaring at her for a second.
"Yeah, pretty much." Was her answer.
"AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME THIS, WHY?" I said angrily or more like shouted.
"Eh? You never asked." Rai said only feeding my anger. But me being as kind as I am, I calmed down. Ok, so what if I demolished most likely half of the forest in my current dream but at least I calmed down.
"Calm now?" Rai asked and I nodded, "Good cause they finished cleaning your wound and you can go ahead and wake up now."
"Ok… Well bye." I said before I started to disappear.
I wake up and close my eyes tightly as I feel pain all over my body but mostly me head. The pain was like taking a thousand shots when going to the doctor. And anybody who knows me well enough knows that I find shots excruciatingly painful. Wow, big word in my vocabulary, I'm amazed I even know what it means. I opened my eyes and then closed them tightly again but this time because of the light. Why am I feeling so much pain? I only ran into a tree and nothing else right? This time I open my eyes and blink a few times to find me surrounded by Urukhai (sp?). What happened to all the elves! And my friends! This is where I begin to panic but don't show it. Rai never said anything about Urukhai being around when I woke up. Ok Leslie, calm down. Maybe there is a reasonable explanation for this….nope can't think of any.
'THOSE DAMN ELVES LEFT ME BEHIND WITH A BUNCH OF CREATURES THAT RESEMBLE ORCS!' was the only thing going through my mind.
'Oh be quiet! You could wake the dead if you were talking out loud.' I heard Swift Runner say.
'Would you be so kind to explain what is going on!' I asked getting upset.
'Simple. You ran into a tree, no one noticed and these Urukhai happened to pass by you and dragged you along with them so you were a prisoner.' It was Hushy who explained.
'But Shadow Killer told me the elves were cleaning my wounds. And what do you mean by 'were' their prisoner?' I said confused.
'Yes, well, she probably didn't want to upset you…' Lightning Cloud said.
'Look on the bright side! You only got beaten up and they now think your dead so they won't hurt you anymore! And they find your fox ears creepy so they won't eat you! Hushy said cheerfully.
'So if it weren't for my fox ears they probably would have eaten me!' I said closing my eyes and pretending to be dead.
'Yeah, pretty much.' Swift Runner said.
'Great. I can't believe no one noticed me run into a tree and fainted.' I said clearly upset at my predicament.
'Yes, some friends they are huh?' Lightning Cloud asked.
'Looks like it.' I said then I felt someone kick me and I ignored the pain because if I had moved then they would have realized that I was alive and I didn't want that. A few kicks later and I waited a bit more then summed up the courage to open my eyes. I sat up to find myself completely deserted.
'Looks like you don't have to pretend your dead anymore…'
'Yeah, looks like it…' I said in a zoned out voice. I was in the forest but it looked different from the one before and for the first time I realized that my feet were wet and have been in a river for a while.
'My feet are wet… I wonder if this day could get any worse.' I thought bitterly and just as if in cue it started to rain and there was lightning in the sky.
'I had to ask didn't I?' I asked myself. I blinked when I realized that it has been 30 minutes since I last heard any of my three animal friends.
'Hey, are you guys there...? Great…I lost contact of them….' I thought getting more upset by the second.
'Ok, Leslie, stay calm, stay calm. I just have to hope for the best. The day I allow myself to be a pessimist will be the day I give up in believing that I can survive.' I said to myself trying to find happy thoughts.
(1 hour later)
'I still have hope, I still have hope.'
(2 hours later)
'I will remain happy, I will remain happy.'
(3 hours later)
'I will find shelter soon, I will find shelter soon.'
(4 hours later)
'Starting to loose hope. Need to communicate with someone soon that is not evil, I repeat, not evil…'
(5 hours later)
'I'm soo hungry. I wish I knew where my feet are taking me. I wish Light was here!' That is when I lost hope and sat down to let anything take me away and hopefully end my misery I don't care if whoever came killed me or gave me a nice comfortable place to stay to end my misery but just to end it! Surprisingly I didn't start to cry like that other time.
"What is it that you're doing here?" Asked a voice that I know very well, but it had some despair in it. I turned to find the fellowship coming out of what I thought was a rock wall.
"I got lost. Is that a crime?" I said in a clearly upset voice when I noticed the hobbits crying, "What's wrong? Where is Gandalf?" It didn't take long for me to realize that Gandalf had how people like to say 'kicked the bucket' or 'he pushed up his last daisy' Though it didn't seem to register in my head because I didn't start to cry. Then again I didn't cry when my uncle, my uncle, and my uncle died, and they were my favorite uncles too. There is a saying that I heard oh so often before 'Those that do not cry when a death of a loved one comes by are normally the ones that need the most comforting' or something like that. I suppose it was true because I normally felt empty during a death before I knew it I was where Legolas, Merry, and Pippin were. Legolas looked at me confused as I sat between Merry and Pippin and hugged both of them at the same time letting them cry in my shoulders and not caring that I was getting my shirt covered with tears and some mucus but mainly tears.
"I repeat. What are you doing here?" Boromir asked again. Despised me much? I thought so.
"Ok. I ran into some elves, they were taking me somewhere, I started to sing a song that is very confusing in Middle Earth, I ran into tree, I was unconscious and woke up to find myself beaten up and surrounded by Urukhai who thought I was dead and if it weren't for my new fox ears they probably would have eaten me. There I explained happy?" I said and they all looked at me in surprise.
"I will talk to you later. Legolas get the hobbits up." Strider said looking at me.
"Give them a moment for Pity's sake!" Boromir said angrily. I blinked at this I didn't even once consider that he is just a human like everyone else. So what if he is just as mean as all those kids in school.
"By nightfall this place will be swarming with orcs. We must move quickly." Strider said. Good comeback. So Legolas helped the Hobbits up and when I was about to go through another direction…
"Where are you going?" Legolas asked.
"Honestly? I have no idea. I just supposed that you all don't want a girl slowing you down." I answered though the comment was intended on Boromir.
"It is too dangerous at the moment to be on your own." Legolas said and I suddenly felt as if I had no control over my body.
'Rai…' was the only thought that went through my head. She must have taken control over my body.
"On my own?" I felt myself smirk, "Oh Legolas, I never said anything about being on my own. I have my followers to protect me."
"Followers?" He asked confused.
"Of course. I am the last princess and my followers would hate it if anything ever happened to me. Though some are being controlled by Sauron, the ones that aren't have made it there duty that I have at least one child before I get killed. And seeing as I am too young to have a child yet, it will be a long time before I get killed. And just like elves I have immortality and can only die due to a fatal blow." My mouth said in a calm/creepyvoiceand inside I was surprised by this information. Immortal? But…I don't want to be immortal… I started to fight; I wanted control of my body back! To the eyes of the fellowship it looked like I was in a lot of pain and I was but mainly I was fighting myself.
"How dare you… How dare you take control of MY body! And how dare you! I wasn't immortal before and I never want to be immortal! I can handle being your reincarnation Shadow Killer but I will not let you take over my body!" I shouted, tears of rage falling from my somewhat round face and staining my cheeks.
"I don't want to be immortal. I just want to be mortal. I don't want to, don't want to." I kept saying over and over again before I let darkness overcome me. But before that I hit the ground I felt a strong pair of hands catch me. This really sucks. I regain control of my body and end up loosing conscious.
Fk306: This is chapter nine. I'm sorry if it took a while but I kinda needed to recover from a review that upset me much and I almost even considered to stop the story but I changed my mind as you can see.
Bucky: THAT REVIEWER INSULTED BOTH ME AND YOU AND YOUR NOT EVEN GOING TO GET UPSET AT THOSE PATHETIC PEOPLE!
Fk306: Yeah, pretty much and by the looks of it I don't have to anymore. Unlike you I have yet to say any colorful language to the readers and reviewers and I don't want to start now. Even if they did make me cry…
Bucky: It's a good thing you tied me up or I would hunt that stupid pathetic weakling and make he/she regret what they said.
Fk306: Yes, it is good that I thought ahead. I also had to tie myself up for extra precaution. Neassa yup she got her ears. And gothic-ember Brittany acting more like Leslie than her herself? O.o; that's a scary thought considering she barely said anything. I'm glad you found the last chapter funny I hope you like this one.
Bucky: Grr. Please read and review except those people that only want to insult us!
