Okay, after a very long break, I am back. This one is a bit short, but It'll be longer next time. I am just trying to get back into the swing of LOTR.
It's a filler, until I re-read a bit, and watch the movies.
NOTE: I took your guys opinion, and the kiss the Alyan gave to Legolas, was a bit to soon, so, I re-wrote it, and it's now jsut a hug.
We walked through the murkiness of the forest, hoping to a glimpse of Merry and Pip, but to no avail. Even when we ducked under trees, or crunched through the decaying fallen branches. We saw no sight of them.
The trees whispered in hushed tones, so you only heard enough to know that they are watching. Yet, in the time we were searching for our hobbit friends, I couldn't help but think of both Frodo and Sam.
How were they? Was everything all right? I looked down at the ring once more, and played with it on my finger. Why couldn't this power that Galadriel said I had work now, and see if they are Ok.
"The world doesn't work that way." Frodo once said to me. I smiled and remembered the simple days of our life. Were we known that there was an outside world, out of shire. But yet, all we did was talk about it.
I still hoped that was true… If we didn't go into Bilbo's house that night. If that ring was never created…If Gandalf was still alive. All of this would have been better than what it was now. When we dreamed about getting out of the shire, it wasn't like this it wa-
My train of thought stopped when I bumped into the now stationary Aragorn.
"We will sleep here tonight." He said while unloading his pack off his back.
I looked around and thought that it was better than nothing, while taking off my pack as well. And I was back into my revere of thoughts.
"They say that you are an elf, it that right?" A young Samwise asked me, I just smiled and showed him my ears. He grinned wildly and looked at Frodo.
"I told you Sam." Was all the blue eyed hobbit said.
"You guys are supposed to have excellent hearing, is that true?" Sam asked again.
"I do." I said happily.
"Then could you help us with requiring food from Farmer Maggot?" An excited Merry spoke up.
"No way Merry! She isn't helping you guys with your queer plans." Sam vented out.
I laughed, Sam didn't always see eye to eye with Merry and Pip, but I knew they were good friends. Perhaps not as good as it is with Frodo, but friends nonetheless.
Legolas looked over at me, most likely wondering why I chuckled, but I picked myself up, and collected firewood.

I held my legs close to my chest, and watched the fire, it flickered and moved with the wind. Aragorn and Gimli shivered every so often. But the fire couldn't be more than a dull flame, for fear that we would be found.
"It is my watch." I said emotionless to the elf who sat down next to me. He ignored anyways, and I thought it was a good time for me to explain myself.
"Don't take my silence for me being upset with you Alyan." He spoke out before me. I turned to him and watched as his hair wisped slightly. "Elves are…well we are complicated by nature, and how we are raised…It just shocked me this morning that you, an elven woman like yourself would be so blunt."
"Like myself?" I questioned.
He answered me back, but with another question "What is Frodo to you?"
I smiled instantly. "A very good friend." I said shortly. And looked back at the fire, I shall never say what Frodo and I really are, since I myself haven't a clue either. But it looked like that wasn't the answer he expected.
"Right then." Legolas said with a crooked smile. The soft crackling filled our ears again, and we didn't speak for a half hour.
"Do you think all will end well?" I questioned more myself than him.
"Are you not the one who can see all?" He chuckled, but then spoke once more. "I think it will, but I also know that we will suffer greatly before it is over."
"We already have." I said thinking of Gandalf and Boromir. "And everyone around us."

Another day of walking began; it seemed even harder for poor Gimli and Aragorn. They did not get much sleep as of late, and food was scarce. Lumbas bread could only fill you up so much.
I felt guilty that Legolas and I could walk another two days without stopping, and they couldn't. I then imagined what Sam and Frodo were going through.
/
Could it truly be him? It really didn't look like him…But I knew when I saw that smile, it was.
"Gandalf!" I shouted, while he just nodded. I grabbed him in a tight hug, and cried.
"I thought you were gone…" I whispered.
"I know, I know…But I am here for you my dear." He spoke in a caring manner.
I let go, and wiped my eyes. It really was him.
"Alyan?" I heard two familiar voice say.
"Pip? Merry?" I asked, and just like that, I was tackled into a hug by both of them.
"I missed you both so much. What happened?" I scolded lovingly.
"Oh, you wouldn't believe what has happened to us, come! There is a clearing just a bit away, and we will tell you everything that has become of us!" Pip shouted, pulling me north were I suspected the clearing was.
I turned my head and looked at Legolas and Aragorn and smiled.
At least, I could be at peace for the moment. But I knew, even if we got Gandalf back, we still had a way to go. This was only a small hill that we climbed over, and yet there was still a whole mountain to trudge over. Even so, I rejoiced with everyone. And cried some more, while holding on tight to Gandalf.
In the back of my mind though, my mind was still muddled about how Frodo was, and we would make it out of this alright.
Pip stood up and spoke:
"Where are we going next?" I just laughed to myself. At least the spirits were high.
Right then, I hope you enjoy, and once again SORRY for taken sooo long. I love all of you guys:D
