Chapter 16- Amanda vs Boromir
I was on a roll. I had yelled at and made Legolas feel very guilty. Now, it was time to yell at Boromir. He had crossed Belinda and me one too many times. I grinned evilly as I thought of the payback, the sweet payback.
"Aragorn," I called out as I saw the Ranger talking with Frodo and Sam. "Where is Boromir?" Aragorn, wordlessly, pointed to the left, looking uneasy at the deranged look in my eyes.
When I finally stumbled upon my dear Gondor friend, I could not stop myself from shouting out, "Hey, ass-hole!"
He raised his head in my direction, and his eyes narrowed in challenge. "Oh, it's you. What do you want?" he asked, as if I was not good enough to be in his presence.
"You have given Belinda a hard time all day, and now, I am going to kick your ass," I whispered seriously. I was deadly when I whispered. I felt like Snape from the Harry Potter books.
Boromir smirked at me. "I would like to see you try." I raised my eyebrow, and without thinking, I reached out for a nearby sword. "Don't you know not to leave swords just lying around for crazy people to pick up?" I questioned. I could tell Boromir looked slightly uneasy, but he attempted to cover it up.
"You think you can do anything without your little friend to back you up?" Boromir pushed.
"Well, you see, when Amanda gets angry at certain males for hurting her best friends, Amanda finds that this upsets her greatly. And when Amanda gets upset, she gets very angry. And when Amanda gets very angry, everyone finds that Amanda is very scary when she is angry," I explained, twirling the sword around, while speaking in third person.
"You are crazy, girl," Boromir shot at me.
"Perhaps I am," I replied. I raised the sword slightly. "Now, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. The easy way entitles you giving Belinda an apology, while groveling on your hands and knees, and you get out of here without a scratch or a missing appendage. Or, we can do this the hard way, which entitles the loss of limbs or certain appendages, and hanging upside down. Now, which way would you like to do this?" I asked, still in a whisper, but my voice retaining a hard edge to it.
Boromir looked at the sword in my hand, and then looked into my eyes, and saw the dangerous fire that burned within them. He sighed in defeat.
"The easy way." I did not know whether to be happy that I won, or sad that he had not chosen to be difficult.
"Wonderful. Now, get!" I ordered, pointing in the direction of Belinda's tent.
I followed close behind Boromir, with my sword raised. When we reached our tent, I was surprised and happy to see that Legolas was there.
"You wait here," I ordered harshly. I went under the tent and placed a hand on Belinda's shoulder, gently shaking her awake. She groaned and slowly opened her eyes.
"There's someone here that would like to speak to you," I stated, leading Belinda out of the tent. Her eyes narrowed in anger at the sight of Boromir. "What do you want?" she asked coldly.
Boromir looked over at me. I gave him a hard look in return and raised my sword in gesture. He grimaced, but then kneeled down on the grass and mumbled. "I ask for your forgiveness for my behavior today, ma'am."
"What? I'm sorry. I don't think we heard you, sir," I stated innocently. Boromir shot me an angry look, but repeated much louder. "I ask for your forgiveness for my behavior today, ma'am."
The expression on Belinda's face was unreadable, but I knew that she would not accept Boromir's apology. Unless...
Without realizing I was doing, I threw my leg back and made contact with Boromir, in the area between his legs. Needless to say, he fell onto the grass, howling in pain.
"Will you accept his apology now, Belinda?" I asked quite innocently, ignoring what I had just done a moment ago. Belinda's face held nothing but shock for a second, before she burst out laughing. I knew, then and there, that everything was right with the world.
Except both Belinda and I had to make sure we were not strangled in our sleep.
