Chapter 3

Rebecca Maria Elizabeth Carissa Lauren Jennifer had already posted the first chapter of her story, and when she got on fanfiction the next day to re-read the excellent chapter, she noticed that she had a review.

LegolasLuvver34: OMG, lyk, this stori sooooooooooooo rox! I luv it lyk soooooo much! And, lyk, how wundirful u do thos cannon chraters! This is lyk soooooooo romantec! & Faith is lyk soooooooo, lyk, real! OMG, I sooooooo luv this stori! It is soooo lyterat! This is lyk soooooo lyk what Tulkyn writted! Lyk, serisly!

"That is such a sweet review. I really shall try to remember to reply to it when I write the next chapter," Rebecca Maria said to herself, her speech eloquent as it always was. She switched to the story itself, scrolling the page until she found the place she had left off. She giggled excitedly, awaiting those wonderful moments, reading her wonderful story!

Legolas bent closer to Faith, looking deep into her eyes, stroking her cheek, lowering his lips to hers, and pressed them gently in a kiss that made Faith feel as though she was fainting all over again. The Elven Prince pulled away after a moment, not wanting to rush the poor, confused girl, whose emotions were riding a roller coaster at present.

Legolas took her hand in his, kissed in, and rubbed his thumb softly over her knuckles, saying nothing, feeling much.

"This story is so wonderful!" Rebecca Maria Elizabeth Carissa Lauren Jennifer said to herself. The first chapter was finished. The second chapter lay in her mind, waiting to be typed and perfected, as everything Rebecca Maria Elizabeth Carissa Lauren Jennifer did or said or wrote had to be completely perfect so that it mirrored the perfect young girl.

"First to reply to that review..." Rebecca Maria started typing.

LegolasLuvver34: Thank you ever so much for your nice review. I am aware, however, of how wonderfully perfect this story is. But I am glad that you have come to realize it too. Tell your friends about this story, that they may read and enjoy its excellence as well.

Chapter 2

Legolas never left Faith's side, and often they spoke for hours during the week that Faith was confined to bed, under Lord Elrond's orders. "She is not to leave bed. She is much too delicate to move at present. Her health will improve in time."

Though Faith was supposed to be all right, Legolas still begged Eru to let her live, as he was already passionately in love with her. Faith, too, assumed herself to be in love with him, because every time she saw him her heart would flutter. She loved his voice, his stories, his songs, his face, his kisses, the latter of which were becoming more frequent, much to the gorgeous young girl's delight.

As they got to know each other better, Legolas began telling Faith why he was in Rivendell. The rumored Ring of Power had been discovered, and, he said, there would be a Quest to destroy it. He was to be a part of the Fellowship of the Ring, and soon he would be leaving. The only reason he had stayed this long was because of her.

Faith listened, fascinated by the story, but at the same time, dreading the day when her beloved Legolas would leave her. She had already thought a thousand times of ways she could go with him, and every time she came up with a better reason. She convinced herself that she could go, and when she proposed the idea to Legolas, he wholeheartedly agreed.

"My dear," he said, kissing her. "You are a brilliant person. Of course you must go with me! I could barely live without you. And, naturally, you will be well protected. But, I warn you," he cautioned, "it is a dangerous mission. We would not be without obstacles."

"I know," she whispered. "I will never be afraid with you by my side."

He kissed her again. "Nor will I. You will always be safe with me. I have some reasons why you should not go, but I could not honestly bear to go without you."

Lord Elrond, of course, agreed. "Besides," he told them, "Faith has incredible archery and fencing skills. She would be an excellent helper."

"I am also a skilled healer," she informed them, humble as always and unwilling to accept undue compliments. She blushed lightly when they praised her amazing skills, and quietly left the room to pack her bags as the Fellowship and Lord Elrond discussed the trip. She did not know that Legolas had followed her.

"My dear, you are amazing," he said, kissing her on both cheeks and then her mouth.

Rebecca Maria Elizabeth Carissa Lauren Jennifer paused in typing her story. Her mother was calling her, again! What ever could she want?

"Rebecca! I just got a call from your Aunt Jill. She and your uncle and cousins are coming up later this week, so be a dear and clean your room."

Not those brats! Rebecca Maria groaned. That would also mean she would not be able to work on her story for a while! It also meant that she had to share her wonderful room with Lindsey, her snobby cousin.

She rushed back to her computer to hurry and finish Chapter Two of her story. If she was smart with her time, she could be up to four chapters by the time her relatives arrived. "Later this week" meant Friday or Saturday, probably. Today was only Monday, so she could have some more chapters up before her annoying cousins monopolized her time.

"I need to pack." Faith said, pulling away from the urgent kisses of her beloved Elven Prince.

"Alright. We are leaving tomorrow. I will go and make sure Sweetness is prepared." Legolas blew a kiss at Faith and left the room. Sweetness was Faith's horse, as she would be riding, of course. At least for a while, Legolas told her.

She began stuffing clothing and necessities into her bags, sighing with happiness. Perhaps the road would be long and hard, but she would be with the love of her life, Legolas, and therefore she would be content.

"That chapter should have been longer," Rebecca Maria said to herself as she left her room. "But there isn't really much I can do about it, is there? For Mother had to call me to set the table for dinner. And tonight is that idiotic Family Movie Night, so I won't be able to work on my story until tomorrow after school!" She ended her rant in a delicate whine.

Replies to Reviewers:

Lilandriel: Snorting is very unladylike and I daresay Rebecca Maria Elizabeth Carissa Lauren Jennifer would not approve. Therefore, DO IT MORE:) Glad you like it.

PatatjeOorlog: If you're curious, you'll just have to keep reading it, won't you?

Cowgirl4Christ: How can I? I really don't know...maybe I'm just insane...and if I'm not already, this story will probably drive me to it...

BlackRoseOrchid: That's so sad, isn't it? That people actually SERIOUSLY write this kind of stuff, and other people think it's good? See, if I were writing this story for REAL, my friends would KILL me, because they are all as much Tolkien fanatics as I am, and I'm sure that Tolkien has rolled over in his grave so many times at what people have done with his story that he's worn a hole in his coffin. Kidding, of course.
