A/N: Not much time now *sad face* because I'm at my aunt's house. She had
knee surgery earlier this week, and me and my brother were sentenced to
take care of her. I brought Orli in my suitcase though!
Orli: Mmmphfagummmmasurpppph.
Me: Oh shoot! I forgot to let him out! *hastily unlatches a zillion latches and zippers*
Orli: *gasps for air*
Me: Sorry, Orlando, but I was so caught up in all those erm...chores that I just plain forgot about you!
Orli: Why are you hiding cookies behind your back?
Me: Oh! The chore was...er...taste-testing cookies!
Orli: Enough about you, lets move on to the chappy because I want to know something.
Me: What?
Orli: Well, this is supposed to be a romance, right?
Me: ...ya...
Orli: Then when do I get to kiss anybody?
Me: You? This is about Legolas Greenleaf. Not Orlando Bloom.
Orli: Well, everybody out there does think of me when they think of Legolas, don't they?
Me: good point...

Chapter Ten:
"When will this elf ever go away?" Fanya thought as she rode Morion two day s after Legolas had 'saved' her in that inn. She had left, and he had followed. She didn't know why he was following her, but as she turned around, there he was, hardly 10 feet away from Morion's rear end on his horse who was galloping as if there was no tomorrow. Legolas on the other hand seemed to be deep in thought, and was staring absent mindedly off into space. "I wonder what he's thinking about," she though to herself. As if he realized that she was staring at him, he was brought back to reality and he smiled at her. She in turn rolled her eyes and turned back around on her horse.
Seeing that it was nearing sundown, she started looking for a place to rest. Legolas sped up his horse so it was even with hers.
"Follow me, I have been here before and know a place to stop." He said. She gave up her search, and followed Legolas' horse.
-~^*^~-~^*^~-~^*^~-~^*^~-~^*^~-
Legolas was comfortably riding his horse an easy ten feet behind Fanya. He was thinking. It was one of those things he hadn't seriously done for a long time, but riding a horse for a long time with a traveling partner that was less than fond of you wasn't very entertaining. He had spent the last night with her fighting about why he was following her. He merely said that he wasn't following he was traveling on his own. He just happened to decide to travel with an elf maiden. A particularly beautiful elf maiden.
Every move of hers seemed to be more graceful than the rest of elf maidens that he had met. In fact, she was so different than all the other elves that he had met. For one, she didn't live with her mother. He would have to find out that reason later. For another, she looked much older than she was. For a normal 70 year old elf would look like they had just turned 7. She was just as developed as everyone else, even if she was just under a century old. Lastly, she didn't have the features of a normal elf. She seemed to be almost human.
It only took him that argument last night to know that he more than liked her as a friend. Well, if she even was a friend. He had loved how she had shouted at him, loved how every movement was filled with emphasis and feeling, and loved how she was so beautiful.
He was in love.
He didn't see how, but there was just so much about her that was different, and he yearned to know more. He had to know more. And he knew one way to do it.
Finally realizing that she was staring at him, he smiled and sped up his horse. It was almost sundown, so he said calmly, "Follow me, I have been here before and know a place to stop."
It was true. He knew of a sort of oasis with a small lake and plenty of trees. He urged his horse forward and Fanya quickened her pace as well.
"Well. Only one way to find out what would happen if I tell her my feelings." Legolas thought as he neared the little forest.
-~^*^~-~^*^~-~^*^~-~^*^~-~^*^~-
He took me to a small little forest. It was rather cute, but I wasn't sure how safe it was. It was this teeny little place in the middle of nowhere. It was bound to have been visited by plenty of humans, elves, and rangers prior to now. If there wasn't anything there now.
Legolas dismounted, and whispered something to his horse, who grunted and wandered off. Fanya did the same. She trusted her horse enough to not go off somewhere too out of hearing, and knew she would come at the sound of Fanya's call.
"So." Fanya started lamely. "What now?" she asked, even though she knew what to do.
"Start a fire." Came the reply.
There were plenty of places to start fires. There were little heaps of ashes and burnt wood all over the ground, as if everyone had been in a rush to leave and hadn't bothered to clean any of it up.
"Ok then. I'll get the wood." And she started off into the forest. As she collected wood, she sensed a presence behind her. She whipped around, but saw nothing. Nervously, she continued collecting firewood.
As she found the last piece of wood that would be necessary, she felt the same presence. Dropping the firewood, she unsheathed her sword. As she turned around to find out what it was, she was attacked from above.
A pair of hairy legs slithered underneath her arm, while another pair grabbed at her legs. She screamed to the now rapidly dying light as she was hoisted up into the trees.
She still gripped her Mithril sword. She tried to twist around, and hack at whatever was holding her, but when she saw whose arms she was clutched in, she screamed again. A spider. A massive, ugly, black, hairy spider.
A/N: Ok then. That was the chappy. Hope you liked it, it certainly took me long enough to figure out what was going to even happen.
Orli: I got to eat pizza the whole time, too!
Me: And he got to devour pizza underneath my nose while I had...hotdogs and cheese. SCREW the Atkin's diet! *sulk*
AND the review responses:
Arwen1481: I'm getting there! I'm getting there! Trust me, the story IS a romance one! ^^.
Dizzy Izzy: Ooh! Barbecue! My favorite! ^^ Thx for the review!
Mickey: I know, 8 and 9 were very short, but it was necessary, and I'm not the kind of person to skip much time in every chapter, so I guess that everyone will have to deal with the variation of chappys! ^^ lol. Thx.
YueMichiruNaraqisawMiko: Thanks! I love simple reviews! *grins widely*
Inweofnargothrond: Wowsers. One review for EVERY chapter ! oO. THANK YOU for all those pieces of advice, I'm sure I'll try and follow up with a bunch of them, but a few things: Review 1: grammar, I'm big on it too, but hey! We're not all perfect! About the elf/human couples, I'm not going by the book religiously, so there is going to be a BUNCH of twists and turns. Elvish? Ya. I'm going by the grey- company.org stuff, and I'm happy with it. Nope. Not considered as a flame, just as 'constructive criticism' or whatever everyone else calls it...lol Review 2: *looks confuzzled* all this information that I didn't know about? ...well, the thing about three periods instead of one is about the auto- correct on my computer. Got that fixed, and when I have time I might re- write later. Review 3: Flets? I know. Like I said earlier, this is my story, originally Tolkien's work, but my little fiddles with it all ^^. Review 4: Wording...oh the joy. Like I said, I type what I want to... lol. Review 5: The whole 'leggy falls in love with her immediately' is *almost* explained in this chapter. Review 6: I know...5 lines...shoot me. Review 7: (see line above) Review 8: Pfft. Mithril swords hard to get? In MY world, Mithril swords practically rain from the sky! (Lol, just kidding. I'm bored, and I want HUMOR... ^ O) Review 9: Hey! I like that line! *sulks* And it's an INN, sort of like the Prancing Pony (that's kind of what I based the appearance on) OVERALL, I just want to say, it's my own twisted version of FotR, (well, if it GETS anywhere, it might be the whole trilogy...)
Me: Whoa...that was a LONG review response... Hey! Guess what?
Orli: *through mid bite of pizza* Wha..?
Me: My dad has a friend who has a friend who has a friend....
Orli: *interrupts* get on with it.
Me: Who has connections at Hollywood...and...
Orli: and...?
Me: He has TTT extd. Version! *squeals in delight* And all I have to do is be nice to my daddy, and he'll give it to me!
Orli: Which means you'll spend more time watching the tv than write fanfiction.
Me: oh damn...you're right...
Orli: I'm ALWAYS right!
Me: *sulks*
