Title: Fox Demon

Disclaimer: I do not own LOTR.

We are walking toward the forest where I had been abandoned by those damn elves.

'No bad language!' I hear from behind me and I turn but see no one. I had chosen to be in the back of the group not really wanting to talk in the moment. Anyway, I turn and see no one and I blink confused. That voice sounded as if it was behind me. Then something comes to mind and I remember that I can talk to anything related to me being the princess of the wargs using my mind.

"What in the world? I wasn't using bad language. Heck, I wasn't even talking! So don't you go telling me not to use bad language when I'm not using it!" I shouted at no one then realized that I had said it aloud. I turn and see the fellowship staring at me.

"What! Cant a girl shout at the annoying voices in her head?" I snapped then realized that did not come out right. I made it sound like I was loosing my mind. Great surrounded by men that think I'm crazy now. Not that I care, back home everyone thinks I'm crazy, or stupid it really depends on the person.

"Are you alright Leslie?" Pippin asked slowing down to walk next to me.

"I'm fine." I said ending the conversation. Pippin looked a little sad at this but continued to walk. We were now entering the woods that I had come out of and Gimli decided to show his ego.

"Stay close young Hobbits and lass/I glare at him/ they say that a witch lives in these woods and whatever goes in doesn't come out. She will not be taking this dwarf so easily. I have the eyes of a hawk and the ears of a fox." Gimli said just as arrows were pointed at us.

"The dwarf breaths so loud that we could shoot him with our eyes closed." Haldir said. I glared at Haldir remembering that he had left me behind. Nevertheless, he ignored me so I turned my attention to Gimli.

"Excuse me Gimli. But I am the one with the fox ears! I also have fox eyes and if those don't warn me when danger is near then my fox sense of smell will tell me. I happened to smell these elves coming but didn't say anything cause I have met them before. I would appreciate it if you didn't say you had any fox qualities." I said with an annoying look in my face that clearly said that I had been insulted by what Gimli said.

"Ah, Shadow Killer was it? I was wondering where you went off to. Why did you leave the group?" Haldir said after talking to Aragorn for a bit.

"I ran into a tree because I was at a daze and was knocked unconscious only to wake up surrounded by Urukhai who left me near a stream after they thought I was dead. How are Patricia and Brittany?" I asked with my eyes closed trying to hold back my anger at being ignored when I needed them the most.

"They are both fine. Both of them are staying in Lothlórien and that is where Lady Galadriel wants me to take you all. She wishes to meet you all. Especially you Shadow Killer." Haldir said already starting to lead the way.

"Why does that not surprise me?" I asked to no one in particular.

'Because you were expecting this to happen.' I heard Swift Runner say in my head.

'Oh, hey Swift Runner. How are you?'

'Fine, I killed a few of the Urukhai that had captured you.' He stated.

'Why?'

'Cause they were in my way.'

'Oh. You didn't kill them because of the injuries they gave me?' I asked knowing that it was the real reason that he killed them.

'Maybe. Speaking of injuries, how are yours going?'

'I have injuries? Oh I do.' I thought as I looked down on myself, I couldn't see the injuries but I could smell them. I suddenly became woozy and started to walk faster forward but also leaning toward the side as if expecting to fall. Thankfully, before I had the chance to fall four pair of hands grabbed me. My eyes were unfocused but I could still just barely tell who they are and my sensitive nose somewhat helped me in naming the person that caught me. I say somewhat because it was thanks to my nose that I had suddenly become woozy.

"Thank ya, Boro…..Bor…..Boromir and Ara…Ar…Arag…..Aragorn…. I is dizzy. Blood has strong smell, it make me woozy...Wooo. What wrong with I? Ca…Can't ta…talk right…" I said sounding drunk though, it was just the smell of my blood that was making me this way. I have yet to notice that I had my meltdown in front of Celeborn and Galadriel.

'Swift Runner wha…. is wrong with me,…me can't talk straight and me sound drunk.' I asked surprised that I was able to say something that kinda made more sense than before when I was talking aloud.

'Yes you are blood has that effect on you. Each races blood has a different effect though but your own affects you the most for some reason. Its because of your sensitive nose, blood is like wine to you. You can even drink it if you wanted and it would taste like wine, like I said before each race has a different kind of blood so to you it would be like different kinds of wine.' Swift Runner explained and it sounded like he had a lot of pity in his voice.

"What is wrong with Leslie?" I heard Pippin say.

"Leslie? I thought her name was Shadow Killer." I heard Haldir ask.

"Shadow Killer is one of the few names she has. Her names are Leslie, Yoko, and Shadow Killer. She might have other names. But that isn't important." I heard someone say, by now all, my senses were going haywire and I could no longer tell who was who. Guess I should tell them about my new discovery about blood.

"Bl…Blood….is cause…inj…injuries….me got…from Uruhai…bwood…..is like…wine to I… A Bwood fwom difwent race is wike difwent wine to I." I said just before I fell unconscious.

I opened my eyes but everything was still very blurry. I forced myself to be able to focus and found Rai standing near me with a worried look.

"Rai? Why didn't you tell I that I would get dwunk by just having the scent of bwood? And why cant I tawk stwait?" I asked still feeling very dizzy. I'm confused…Shouldn't I be back to normal in my dream?

"I'm sorry, its just I haven't seen or smelled or tasted any blood in such a long time that I forgot the side effects it has on Fox demons." Shadow Killer explained.

"Fox Demon? Is that what I becoming?"

"Yes, my entire family is fox demons but they all died. There are only reincarnations now. Two males and two females so maybe the four of you might save the fox demon race."

"So we have to mate?"

"It's not really necessary. Only if you really love each other can you only mate. Anyway I think you should start waking up soon." Rai said and it was true that I was now starting to fade.

"Okies. Bye bye…." I said as I fell into darkness. Darkness? This isn't right I should be waking up

"OH MY GOD! I'M BLIND!" I shouted and started to run but felt someone grab me.

"You're not blind; you just haven't opened your eyes…" I heard someone say with annoyance, I think it was Boromir.

"Oh…Sorry, I guess I'm still a little woozy from the scent of my own blood." I said then realized that I could talk normal again. I willed myself to open my eyes and realized that if Boromir hadn't grabbed me I would have run into a wall.

"So it was blood that made you act that way? I couldn't understand you because you were talking like a child that was just learning to talk." Boromir said and I got annoyed at being called a child or at least it sounded like he called me a child.

"Well, I'm sorry if I get such a bad effect from my own blood. Maybe I should try some of your blood to see my reaction." I said and he took the hint that I was threatening him. I looked through the window and saw that we were in one of the many trees that the elves used as homes. If I jumped off here, I could probably survive without an injury and still have enough strength to run for hours… Huh? Where did that thought come from?

"Did you just threaten me?" Boromir snarled at me.

"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't bye!" I said then jumped off the tree place as I fell I glanced up and laughed at Boromir's shocked face as he stared at me. I landed on my feet in a very cat like way and ran off in a random direction. It felt nice to jump off that Talan as if I was a bird getting ready to land on the ground. It was a wonderful feeling. After a bit of running I stopped in the edge of a river and sat down with my feet in the water enjoying it move around my feet to get to its destination. I giggled a little unaware that I now had a tail and that somebody was watching me.

Watcher's POV

I was running through the forest when something or should I say someone, caught my eye. It was a female fox demon; she seemed to be enjoying herself because my fox ears were able to hear her giggling. She didn't seem aware of my presence though and I was just fine with that for now. I wanted to observe her a little more; she was fair looking, she seemed to be the kind of girl that was not going to make herself look more presentable than necessary just to impress someone. She had brown wavy hair and golden eyes. I frowned, why would she have golden eyes? There ahs been only two other fox demons with golden eyes and that was Shadow Killer and Shadow Eclipse, but they were both killed. Come to think of it, I didn't even know there were any female fox demons anymore. She also seems to be the kind of girl that someone can get along with easily if they tried hard enough. I froze when I heard a growl behind me and saw a Warg looking at me in a menacing way. I ran out of my hiding spot surprising the female fox demon. She jumped up and once she saw the Warg behind me.

"Swift Runner stop!" She shouted and I was surprised to see the Warg stop. I looked at her with a surprised look. I could have been someone that worked for Saruman and she still helped me not that I am working for him.

"Why did you help me?" I asked looking at her curiously.

"Oh would you rather Swift Runner eat you? By the way you're welcome." She said with annoyance. I guess I was a little forward.

"Oh, Thanks… I didn't know there were any female fox demons anymore." I said scratching the back of my head and taking in how pretty she looks when she blushed, which she was doing now.

"Ah, well. I wasn't always a fox demon… Shadow Killer kept visiting my dreams until I was strong enough to be able to transform into what I look like now. First, it was the golden eyes then the fox ears and now the tail…, which I just realized I had… Shadow Killer told me I was her reincarnation which explains what I look like now." She said looking at her tail with a shocked face. So she is the reincarnation of Shadow Killer? That means that she is the princess of the Wargs, which explains why that Warg listened to her when she told it to stop.

"That explains a bit. Might I ask what your name is?" I asked wondering what her name could be.

"Well among some I'm known as Shadow Killer but the name I was given at birth is Leslie and some of my friends call me Yoko." She told me. Leslie and Yoko are strange name.

"My name is Hopper. It is nice to meet you Princess." I said and grabbed her hand kissing it gently. I felt her tense and instantly I knew that this wasn't something that happened to her often. I looked up not letting go of her hand to find her blushing.

"I take it your not used to this kind of treatment?" I asked and she shook her head vigorously.

"No one has ever kissed my hand before. But I guess I can get used to it if this is what will happen every time I tell someone that I am the reincarnation of a princess fox demon…" She pouted like a little kid and I couldn't help but chuckle slightly at how she acted like a child.

"Hey! I made you laugh!" She said with a bright smile on as she laughed happily.

"You seem like a child. All I did was chuckle and that made you happy." I said as she held on to my shoulder for support so she would not fall as she laughed.

"I can't help it. Just cause I'm fourteen and no longer a child doesn't mean I can't act like one. A child is a lot wiser than everyone thinks. They have so much knowledge of the world and accept the simple beauty of it that I feel sorry for them because when they grow up most won't even look and nature and give it a second thought." She said still leaning on me but calming down from her laughter. I smiled as she finally calmed down.

"So what are you doing here?" I ask.

"Oh, I was just getting away from someone." She answered and I frowned.

"Was this someone hurting you?" I asked worried.

"No, its not that he was hurting me. He just tries to insult me sometimes. I think of him as my older brother." She said with a smile and I calmed down. I wonder why I care so much about her, I mean, I just met her.

Leslie POV

I smile once I clam down and look at Hopper in his dark brown eyes. He has raven black hair; he had a foxtail, and fox ears just like me. I found it very sweet how he was concerned about me when I told him I was getting away from someone. I really do think of Boromir as an older brother despite how I always treat him. I think I want to get to know this Hopper better, though I hope that I won't end up falling in love with him. Among some of my fears, falling in love is one of them, along with afraid of the dark, spiders, snakes, my mom, frogs, etc. etc. Basically, I'm afraid to fall in love because I'm afraid of getting hurt by the person I chose to fall in love with, it sounds silly to me but the fact that it sounds silly to me doesn't stop the fact that I am truly afraid of getting to close to anybody… but I am also afraid of not being accepted for who I am by the people I love. In case you haven't noticed I never spend too much time in one place, the reason is that I do not want to get to close to anybody. I, I'm afraid if I get hurt by the person I care about then I will start crying and crying is a sign of weakness, isn't it? I smile once more as I close my eyes and let face the now setting sun as I remember something I read in one of my favorite books. "In The Forest of The Night"

"Love is the strongest emotion any creature can feel except for hate, but hate can't hurt you. Love, and trust, and friendship and all the other emotions humans value so much, are the only emotions that can bring pain. Only love can break a heart into so many pieces." I say aloud by accident as my mind goes blank.

Hopper's POV

I blink confused as she starts talking about emotions but then notice that she isn't talking to me but to herself so I decide not to interfere with whatever she was doing. I took this chance and closeness to her to take in her scent so I could know if she was nearby. Her scent was pretty simple, it was a mixture of an innocent heart, by that I mean that she has the heart of a child and is a virgin. That is nice, I have met more girls younger than her that have lost there virginity, I hope this means that she is just waiting for a perfect guy and doesn't just try and find a good looking one. But then if she were doing that then she would have already lost her virginity. The innocent scent is sorta blended with a sad scent but it's faint as if she is trying to hide it, along with a little wisdom that she got from reading all kinds of books, so she must have a good head in her shoulders. Childish but good. At first glance, someone wouldn't think that she was hiding sadness, I don't think that she realizes that I know that she is hiding sadness so I will not mention anything.

Fk306: This I snow chapter twelve! I never thought that this story would be so popular. Normally I don't stay in a story to long because almost everyone criticizes me, that and I never seem to like how the story is going….

Bucky: Good thing is that I am normally in most of the ending in your stories.

Leslie: I can't believe your letting me answer reviews with you two from now on.

Bucky: Yeah, sucks doesn't it?

Fk306: Bucky! The only thing that sucks about me letting her answer reviews with us is that you are going to be annoying her!

Leslie: I will get used to it. After all, you got used to it so why cant I?

Fk306: True. All right review time! Alateriel567 all right I will try to show more of Leslie's faults in the future. I just sometimes tend to show them…

Bucky: little IDY Oh he is going to die. I don't know how long you will have to wait for Boromir to die but he will die.

Leslie: Fk306, Bucky is being evil…
