Disclaimer: I'm not rich and lining my pockets with gold, so I must not own LOTR. However, I do own the OC's Angel, Ellena, and Llianna.

Together Forever

By: Lady Starlight 2

Ch. 5

Blah, blah, blah thoughts

Dark foreboding eyes looked around their camp-site, meeting with a pair of ever raging storms of blue. Those eyes challenged him before turning their stormy gaze to the two girls lying beside her whispering. Her eyes softened at her sister. Aragorn turned his dark eyes to the elf-maidens. Looking at the same girl as the other watcher his thoughts turned inward. Ellena has every right to be protective of her sister, she matches her namesake very well…Angel…" Aragorn knew that he had never felt this way before, not even for his long time friend Arwen. (LS: Yes, I know in canon that he loves Arwen but this is AU! I can do whatever I want!) The angelic elf named Angel, he had a soft spot for…no…she held his heart in her hands, to break or care for as she pleases. Tomorrow…tomorrow I'll tell her. Aragorn decided before sleep overtook him leading him into dreams of a certain elf-maiden.

The Next Day

"I'm going to scout the area ahead, Angel do you want to join me?" Aragorn asked. Smooth, Aragorn, real smooth. That was the lamest thing you've ever said.

"Sure." She replied running up to him, her brown hair floating behind her. Looking around she spotted nothing out of the ordinary. "Well, nothing is here." Angel said turning around, but something held her back. Looking down she noticed that Aragorn was holding her hand.

"Wait, Angel, I wanted to tell you something…well, a lot of things." Angel stood silently, curious to know what Aragorn wanted to say.

At the end of his explanation, she was silent, too many emotions on her face to tell what she thought. Feeling dejected Aragorn turned around, his head downcast, and started to walk away, stopping only at the sound of her voice.

"Did you really mean that?"

"Yes, why?" Aragorn replied, turning around to face her. In response she kissed him lightly on his cheek.

"Because I feel the same way." She whispered, her voice carrying on the wind. Reaching up, he touched his cheek where her butterfly kiss had taken place and smiled, truly smiled. "Well, we better get going, Elizabeth will be getting worried."

"What did you say?" Aragorn asked, his ears catching something.

"I said that we better get back because Ellena will be getting worried." Angel said, catching her mistake.

"That's not what you said, you said Elizabeth."

Angel sighed, "Alright, you caught me." She then proceeded to tell Aragorn everything; who they were, how they got here, everything down to that very day.

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"We were all afraid, even Elizabeth, about what was going on, that's why we didn't say anything. Do you still love me, now that you know who I really am?"

"Angel…Eileen, I didn't fall in love with your beauty, I fell in love with a quiet, good natured soul, who even if she looked like an Orc would still have stolen my heart. From what you have told me, you and your friends appearances may have changed but your personalities are still the same. Elizabeth is still a loyal and protective friend, a mother figure, and Haley is still a temperamental person whose personality changes like the tide." Angel's eyes softened and together they left with one heart fused together with love.
