Summary: When an elf joins the company on their quest everything changes, can the trust her? Legolas falls head over heels for her, but her fear of men holds her back, can Aragorn cure her?

One elf
Chapter 3: Orcs
Legolas heard footsteps and woke to see a she-elf standing before him. He recognised her immediately.
Flashback
Legolas strung up his arrow just as the Lorien guards did theirs, his eye was caught by one of the guards, a she elf with ginger hair and the most stunning green eyes .She was beautiful. But he was slightly annoyed as Gimli felt her arrow point to her cheek. She was beautiful, yet fierce and he noticed she was wearing the colours of Mirkwood. Her waist length hair was braided back in lots of tiny little scalp plaits, her body was solid but slender and her step light.
She snickered when Haldir made a commented about the dwarf.
End of flashback
"Quickly I need you to rouse your company, orcs have entered our borders. Please, can you give me back up?" the she-elf asked frantically. Legolas willing jumped to his feet and awoke Aragorn and explained.
Flashback
She'd also been with them when he'd broken the news of Gandalf to Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel, once he'd told the story he looked over to see tears running down her fair face. She knew Gandalf. Haldir had put a comforting arm round her.
End of Flashback
They put Gimli on guard of the hobbits, and then Boromir, Legolas and Aragorn followed Nenmîr. As the three headed up the hill she let out a piercing call to alert the guards, it was a wolf howl and so real it made Boromir turn round.
Boromir hadn't seen her before then and had just followed Aragorn. As he turned around and saw the she-elf he decided that he fancied her and kept peering at her.
Flashback
When the company had heard the lament for Gandalf, they had seen the elf singing; he immediately recognised it to be this she-elf. He'd seen her walking, clad in silver-grey, and hooded and cloaked singing in the fair elven tongue, with a fair voice too.
End of flashback
Legolas had also decided he fancied her, so Boromir was in for some competition. Nenmîr took a different route up the hill; her swift legs took her up the bank faster than the others. This gave Aragorn the time to tell them this was their new companion, both Legolas and Boromir got ideas.
Meanwhile Nenmîr got into the woods and found the orcs were already there, they let out a cry and rushed at her. The other three appeared and began fighting, Nenmîr got stuck in with her bow and arrow, taking down orcs like there was no tomorrow. At least she'd been right, there were masses of them! Out of the corner of her eye she saw Legolas using his bow; he would be a fair match. Her heart gave a jump as he looked towards her; she quickly took her eyes back. Taking out her twin swords she started stabbing and snipping.
Boromir meanwhile watched her fight, not only was she beautiful but she was a great warrior, definitely worth taking with them. He dodged about trying to catch her eye as he killed orcs. Trying his best to impress he carried on.
Legolas worked his way closer and closer to Nenmîr trying desperately to get her attention; he'd caught her eye before and was determined to make a good impression. Little did he know that Nenmîr also had a crush on him too. His gaze was torn away as he nearly missed an orc, he spun round killed it, and then ungracefully tripped over getting carried away with the spin. Hoping nobody had seen he sheepishly got to his feet and resumed his job.
Aragorn was the only one that wasn't bothered in the least by Nenmîr's company. This gave him a chance to see her fighting skills, they were worth watching!
Soon the other elves came and finished the party of orcs off. After the battle they went back to their guard, saying goodbye to the four.
Nenmîr skirted around nervously, two humans. She picked out her arrows and put them back in her quiver, Legolas followed suit. Surely if the two men started Legolas would help her?
"So will I see you at the dance?" Nenmîr asked to ease the silence.
"What dan..." Legolas started and looked at Aragorn who gave him a desperate look. "Yes you will." He recovered. Nenmîr smiled which made his heart jump.
"Well hannon le and navaer for now" she said to them and made a hasty retreat into the woods, glad to be away from the men.
They got back to camp to find everything safe, Gimli immediately went to bed and was asleep with in seconds, and the hobbits had managed to sleep soundly through it all!
The others settled down to sleep, "Well that was a rather unexpected way of meeting our new member, what do you think?" Aragorn asked the two as he sat in his covers.
"She's bloody gorgeous, hopefully she won't be so cautious of me by the time we set off, actually quite the opposite" Boromir fantasised grinning. But Legolas wasn't about to give up.
"No chance! Hands off!" he said challengingly whilst unceremoniously dropping himself into his covers.
"It looks like a bit of competition there! If Nenmîr could hear you I don't think either of you'd be in with a chance!" exclaimed Aragorn, he'd never known Legolas to be that testosterone charged, fair enough Nenmîr was attractive and he'd seen both of them eyeing each other up.
"Oh and Aragorn, which dance is this? You very nearly made me look like an idiot!" Legolas asked indignantly, hoping neither of them had seen his spectacular fall earlier on.
"Sorry I forgot to tell you, it's in honour of our leaving, obviously the evening before. Never mind me making you look like a fool, you made yourself look very silly falling over like that" Aragorn ended sniggering before lying down.
"Well it wouldn't be much of a party if the guests of honour weren't even aware of it." Yawned Legolas, loud snoring emitted from both covers.
Legolas lay down and slept soundly, not thinking anymore about the mystery horse.
What do you think then? do i give it up right now? Do i keep going? Do you like it? Please reveiw to tell me what you think!
