Chapter 5- A Different Kind of Falling

It just occurred to me that I should probably do a disclaimer. I don't own anything except for Alize. I also don't own these song lyrics here, which are from "Falling For You" by Colbie Caillat. They are here to accompany the chapter. Enjoy!

I've been spending all my time just thinking about you

I don't know what to do

I think I'm falling for you

I've been waiting all my life and now I've found you

I don't know what to do

I think I'm falling for you

That night, I couldn't sleep, even though I was exhausted. From the ordeal in the morning, to the 7-mile trek, to the tiny (but well-cooked) dinner, today had sucked. I couldn't stop thinking about the Orc, and the very real danger that I could die. I also felt guilty, because I had completely taken over Legolas's sleeping bag. Merry and Pippin then had to share one. Part of me didn't care, because it still smelled like Legolas, and he smelled amazing. It reminded me of trees and wildflowers and the lake back home. My spine felt really weird after the countless shivers that had run down it today. I could still feel Legolas's touch on my skin. Images of him kept popping into my brain: him shooting the Orc, him welcoming me, his eyes, his smile... I waved them away, but they kept coming back. He's way too perfect to love a girl like me: not an elf, not a good archer, not beautiful like him, I sighed mentally, then stopped myself. Love? I've only been here two days. I was at war with my own mind. I had never fallen for a guy this fast before. None of the boys on Earth are this perfect, though, I thought. I flipped onto my stomach and took a deep breath of Legolas. It was really calming. I closed my eyes and relaxed for the first time today, then finally dropped off to a fitful sleep, dreams of him sneaking through my mind.

Sorry it's short, this is just a little snapshot of Alize's thoughts. Please review!
