Chapter 3 Ignore the Pain
"I can walk!" she was fighting bitterly with Aragorn, as she descended the ladder, already she has some embarrassment that morning upon waking in Legolas's arms with him smiling down at her. Shivers ran down her back. She stepped off the ladder, "ouch" okay so maybe she wasn't healed healed but she could walk. She moved out of the way, and felt a little dizziness, well screw it she was still going to walk. When they came to a river. Haldir threw a rope over it and called the river Celebrant, and quickly scaled it followed by Legolas. Then after some debate they threw some ropes over the river. She watched as the hobbits crossed, then Aragorn. Shit, okay walking she could do, but crossing a rope bridge, uh not so much. Then it was her turn, okay she thought; 'just put one foot in front of the other…. and soon you will be walking out the door!" Shaking her head quickly thinking about Christmas clay movies at a time like this. She stepped on the rope, big ouch again yup she sure was gonna feel that in ten minutes. She walked across slowly, almost collapsing she had to resist the temptation to put her hand across the many wounds that were now beginning to bleed. She made it across, and stepped down, another sharp pain was sent through her body. She leaned against a tree, and watched as Gimli crossed. He took a couple of minutes before crossing and then they set out again. She was to weak and couldn't see things in less everyone has just had a twin, she stalled at first by watching Gimli then waving good bye to Rúmil. She was gazing at the exquisite forest. When she heard Gimli protesting that he refused to be blind folded. Then she watched as Aragorn said everyone was to be blind folded. Great, she could barely walk straight now, or for that fact see clearly, now she was gonna get blind folded, how nice. She then heard Legolas complaining that he shouldn't be blindfolded by his own kin, and not on such a nice day; and it was then Aragorn silenced them. One by one they were blind folded. She placed herself in the back, and held tightly to the rope, let there be no rocks or branches in the way. She walked and her head began to swirl. It was now getting cold, she couldn't help but shiver. She heard another elf report they had slayed most of the orcs, and with that he took off their blind folds. He bowed towards Gimli and apologized to them all. She felt herself twirling, almost ready to keel over. She put out her hand against a tree, to stop her from falling. She breathed in deeply, as the company moved on, she slowly followed, her hand catching each tree. The elf that followed her, watched her uneasily. As if debating whether not to call for help, but Dawn stood resolutely walking to each tree before pausing and then walking again. They came to some place called Cerin Amroth. Where they stopped to rest. She felt herself shaking violently and her hand fell to clutched her side. She leaned against a tree and felt herself slowly sliding down. Stay awake, stay awake, keep your eyes open. She found herself repeating over and over. Haldir watched her fall, and Legolas ran to catch her. The last words she heard was someone screaming for Aragorn.
She awoke in and she was surrounded by white trees, she was to weak to move to speak, at that point to breath. She gasped for air, she screamed, and yet no one came, she was in the dark again, her screams became louder, the man falling, the laughter, a helpless girl scrambling in the darkness, the portal, her blood, her sister, a fiery eye, laughing menacingly, "Aèrindil," it kept ranting, and then she saw herself green luminous, oh god. "NO!" what else could she do, she struggled, and then a beautiful light came towards her, Galadriel, how did she know that name? She awoke.
She was on the floor, her body twisted, gasping for air, this wasn't happening, no she kept repeating, she felt her body shake, and she tasted blood in her mouth, and she coughed, still not able to breath. Was this death? God please let it be, she thought. She sat up people came into focus she recognized them, Aragorn and coughing the coughing wouldn't stop, more blood, they watched her she knew it, she felt their eyes on her, Buffy's spidey sense, as she referred to it. She felt a hand go over her shoulder, she looked to see Aragorn, he had a father's worry face on him. The coughing stopped, she breathed uneasily. He took her head and wrapped it in his arms. He picked her up, he reminded her of Giles, after all Giles had been the closest thing she had to a father, but Aragorn he was affectionate, and he showed for the lack of words, father qualities. He gave cold looks to two of the elves, and walked with her in his arms. She felt safe again, she silently thought of calling him "daddy" and she slipped off into sleep. Aragorn laid her down, he looked upon her, how could he fall in love with this girl, it was as if she were his daughter the whole time. "Daddy," he silently smirked, he was glad she felt the same way.
Okay reviewers, first let me apologize for spelling and grammar. Thanks for the reviews I'm going to try and update the already written version of the story. The problem is the set version of the story is being ripped apart as we speak er type and revised. I'm hoping to get some feedback especially on this chapter.
Don't worry she will get a bath!
The plot will slowly develop into more detail
Dawn was disorientated in the Mines there is no knowledge of how long she was there, all she remembers is seeing her sister for the last time and falling onto the ground.
If you had watched Buffy during the final episodes of season 5 I think, when Dawn in standing on the tower built by her insane minions. Her feet are sliced and her blood opens this portal on the ground and in the sky where you actually do see I think a dragon fly out of one of them. Then Buffy jumps because if you remember everything that is Dawn Summers is from Buffy Summers, so Buffy blood stops the portals. I figured this must be the reason Dawn could open portals. But there is a twist here, her blood does always open portals why? Also why can't Dawn use her own power to open the portals? This will be revealed in both the first and second book. Hope that helps some of the confused readers.
