Esmeralda, the Ear'Quessir.
Author's Note: Hello again! I hope all are good! My week has been amazing actually. Yeah. Right. So, I this Wednesday was senior night for soccer. So of course I went, then. The sky just decided it would be nice to open up and start pouring down rain. Nice right? Anyway, then I went to our schools Halloween dance last night, and the fringing music was lame, and it was skipping. It sucked. I was supposed to be going to the beach today, but they cancelled that trip because of the rain. So my week has been alright. Anyway, enough about me. ON TO THE STORY!!

Chapter 12: I spy, something gray with huge bulbous glowing eyes.
So you could things are a little awkward between me and Legolas right now. Well, it's more awkward for me than it is for him. Ever since he caught me smelling his shirt again, he's been smirking at me, while I blush and hide behind Aragorn. Who in turn just laughs and walks away. So Legolas finds me again, not that he couldn't see me before. Gandalf still thinks I'm stupid, the hobbits find it "dashing good fun to see Esme run', and Gimli just grunts, so I don't know what that means. But I do know Legolas, won't ever let me live this down. So I'm gonna have to face the music at some point, just not today. I wonder why we're stopping. Oomph. I guess I should have stopped too.
"So know you want to smell my back right?" Smirk. I should punch him in the face, his smirk wouldn't be as attractive if he was missing some teeth. Oh shoot I shouldn't have thought that. I feel the blush. His smirk just got bigger.
"You- phlabahgabitnakrabbit, Iwasnotsmellingyourback!" I grumbled pushing around him. His smirk just turned to full out laughter. Egotistical pratt. He needs to be cut down to size. Maybe I'll go talk to hobbits and see why we're stopping.
"Hey Pip, what's going on?" I walked up and squatted next to the seated hobbit who in turn just turned to look at me, with a face that would make a fish out of water proud. "Alright then. Merry do you know?"
"No."
"I think we're lost." so Pippen has woken from his state of comatose. Excellent.
"No we're not Pippen." Merry glaring at him.
"I say we are." I added seeing what Merry would say. Gandalf glared at us. Old fart.
"Shhhhh! Gandalf's thinking!" Merry whispered. Did I say whispered? I meant yelled as loud as possible thinking he was whispering. Poor thing. So deaf.
"Merry?"
"What Pip?"
"I'm hungry." Me and Merry fell sideways at what Pippen had just deadpanned. Aragorn looked at us strangely, while Legolas just snorted with laughter. Did I say snorted. I meant choked on his laughter, I'm sorry I keep doing that. Oh man, he's turning blue. I didn't know elves could turn that color. Maybe I should help him. But does he deserve it? YES cause he's just so handsome. Wait. I did not just say that. Nope. I didn't say that. I run over and slap him in the back hoping that would work.
"What are you doing foolish elf? That's not helping him!" grumbled Gimli from his seat on a rather pointy looking rock. Ah, that would explain what was up his ass.
"Well, ex-cuse me. I don't see you over here doing anything." I placed my hands on my hips and was about to give him a what for when Legolas gave a rather violent cough from beside me. I jumped back into place of hitting him on the back. If any passerby had seen an elf hitting another on the back a dwarf bristling, two men laughing, two hobbits staring, one glaring, another hobbit and a wizard staring like fish, they would have been sent running for their life. Not like there would be any passerby in this place anyway. Lucky us. Finally Legolas took a gaspingly huge breath, placing his hands on his knees breathing deeply. He actually looked little disheveled, although that could have been my fault for hitting him. 'See dwarf, it did work."
"I think Esme, that I may have a bruise from that consistent hitting you gave me." he said looking at me through his hair.
"Well, so you're not gonna say thanks now? Well. Fine. I don't care."
"Would you like me to smell you?"
"Well Legolas, that's one way to find yourself on the ground." said Aragorn through his laughter. Would you like to know what I did? I sent the insolent jerk a kick in the butt and sent him flying face first into the ground. Would you like me to smell you, pansy boy, I should have just let him die. See how much I care. This sent Gimli into hysterics, while Bormir sat in he background guffawing his head off. Just then Frodo said something about some creature following us. I turned to see some weird ass rat/squirrel/crab looking thing. With eyes as big as lanterns. Now were was he when we couldn't see?
"HEY! You- phgmmfkek!"
"Don't draw attention to us Esme." said Legolas, still not removing his hand from my mouth. I wonder what would happen if I licked him? "Ew. No you didn't!" he shouted jumping back wiping his hand on his trousers.
"Keep you hands off my face Nancy."
"Who is Nancy?" asked Pippen staring in between a glaring Legolas and a smirking Me.
"Legolas of course."
"Oh. Why?"
"Well-"
"She's lying. Don't listen to her." shouted Legolas trying to recover his dignity he was about to lose.
"I believe he was asking me Nancy, not you." I said smirking at his face that was rapidly growing redder and redder by the second. Oh how I loved it. "ACK!"
"Are you going to tell him now" said Legolas whiles sitting on me, tickling the crap out of me.
"NOOOOOOOO! I WON'T JUST STOP! ACK CAN'T BREATHE!"
He jumped of me smirking. The little snot. I got up off the ground and straightened my tunic. Oh he would pay dearly for that. Unfortunately, at a later time, Gandalf is signaling for us to move out. Finally.
"He's remembered!" shouted Merry running up to him and Frodo.
"No, but the air doesn't seem so foul down there. If in doubt Meriadoc always follow your nose." he replied making his staff give a little more light. Me and Legolas looked at each other, and then back at Gandalf. What the hell kind way to learn directions is that? It's like saying, when you can't see, stick your foot out and keep walking until you run into something. Now I'm afraid for my life.
"Legolas, Hold me. I'm scared."
"Me too Esme, me too."
'Hey you two, he's lead us this far, have faith." said Aragorn glaring back at us.
"Well, if I had known we'd be following his nose's direction, I wouldn't have come this far thank you very much. That wasn't in the description." I said before walking past him. I could feel Legolas shaking his head at me. Like I care.
"You would do well with not angering him Esme. I believe he already doesn't like you." said Legolas, through his snickering.
"Gee really? I haven't noticed thanks for helping me out there buddy. I appreciate it. Really."
"No problem. Only for a friend." Eru, his smile is gorgeous. Nope. Not true. His teeth are rotting, and he has foul breathe. AND HE SMELLS BAD! Next thing I know, Gimli's screaming his head off and running into some room. Wow, who knew this hall was this big. Shows what I get for talking to some gorgeous elf around me, I miss everything. HE IS NOT GORGEOUS! I MEAN THAT! I looked up to find the fellowship had run off without me. Again.
"YOU GUYS!" I yelled sprinting to keep up, only to slam into Legolas' back. "Must you ALWAYS stop like that Legolas?'
"Most certainly!" He replied walking forward, causing me to lose my balance and fall. I waited for the floor to hit my face, but it never happened. I looked up and saw Legolas laughing at me. The cheeky bastard caught me.
"Don't expect me to thank you for that, it was you're fault." I said pulling away, he opened his mouth to say something. "Say that only if you wish to be one half less of a man then you are now." his face turned an ugly green, to alls amusement, except Gandalf's. He was reading some book that looked like it was about to combust into a pile of dust. Hey that rhymed. CLANG. What the hell was that? I about jumped out of my skin. The whole fellowship whirled around to see a scared stiff Pippen, flinching at every hit we heard. He was holding Gandalf's hat and staff, trembling in fright.
"Fool of a took! Throw yourself in next time and rid us of your stupidity!" shouted Gandalf wrenching his stuff back from poor Pippen.
"Calm down Gandalf! He didn't do it on pur-" I was cut off by a sudden drumming from the deep. This could not be good.
