Chapter 4

Aurora POV

When I woke up and I did not expect to see what I saw. Legolas was awake before me!

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Uh making breakfast. I shot a bird with my bow and got the fire star-"

"No I mean your up. Like awake, before me."

He smiled at me and handed me some water.

"I think you were dehydrated last night and that's why you passed out on my shoulder." He said smirking at me as I took a sip.

"Hey! I was really dizzy."

"Okaay." He said with a teasing voice.

"Hey! Your mean."

"Oh come on" he replied.

Glared at him and spit water at his face.

"So that's the thank you I get for giving you water." He said wiping my water/spit off of his face.

"Yep" I said.

After we ate he said "Wanna set off again?"

"Sure."

We gathered our stuff and Legolas jumped on Amarië. I tried to get up but was having trouble. Legolas held out his hand and I took it giving him a small smile.

We were riding for a while and I started to feel tired, I tried to resists but sleep overtook me. I fell asleep on Legolas's back.

Legolas POV

I could feel Aurora's arms wrapped around my waist and her head rested on my back. I was having a hard time concentrating because she was the girl I liked and she was asleep on my back.

It was starting to get dark so I decided to rest. I set up the blankets. I didn't want to wake Aurora up so I carried her over to the blankets and laid her down. I heard her mumble "it's so cold." I laid down next to her and I pulled her close to me to keep her warm and she cuddled into my chest. And I drifted of to sleep too.

Aurora POV

I woke up in Legolas's arms he smelled like wood and pine needles, his strong arms were wrapped around me. I heard him say "how did you sleep?"

But I didn't get a chance to reply because I was thinking why am I asleep in Legolas's arms and there was the sound of a stick breaking. I whipped my head around to see at least 25 orcs.

"Orcs!" I heard Legolas whisper in my ear. He rolled over and grabbed our bows and arrows and tossed me mine. I caught them but pulled out my hunting knives. It would be easier to fight with the knives now that the orcs are so close. I stood up and started slashing and stabbing the orcs. I looked over at Legolas and saw his lips moving like he was silently counting. Oh yeah I remember he and Gimli have that counting thing that my father told me about. I was at around 10 when I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my arm. I looked up to see a giant Orc had stabbed me with a knife I felt light headed and collapsed. Right before I blacked out I heard Legolas scream my name and saw him fighting his way over to me killing every Orc in his path with amazing skill and speed. Why was he trying so hard to get to me? I thought. Then everything went black.

Legolas POV

When I saw Aurora get stabbed and collapse I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest. I killed every Orc there was to kill and fell to my knees beside Aurora. I felt tears coming down my cheek but I didn't care. I examined the wound, I ran to the river and got some water. I gently cleaned out the cut. It was very deep, I gathered some Athelas leaves and rested them on her arm then I wrapped her arm in bandages and held her close to me. She meant everything to me, she could not die, she could not die it was not an option.

"Please! Please come back to me. You can't die!" I said crying. "You can't, I love you!"

"Legolas?" A week voice said.

I looked down at Aurora.

"Oh Aurora, oh Aurora. Your ok, Your ok. Aurora." I said holding her closer to me, tears were streaming down my face.

"Legolas, is- is it true? You, you love me?" She whispered.

"You don't love me back, do you?"

"Yes i do, I thought you didn't love me back. But I- I do love you. I loved you ever sense I set my eyes on you."

I leaned down to her and our lips meet. The kiss was soft, it was perfect, except for the fact that we were kissing in the middle of 25 dead orcs. But I didn't care, I was kissing the girl I am in love with and she was alive. We pulled apart and stared at each other for a while.

"I love you." I whispered.

"I love you too." Aurora whispered back, and we kissed again.

We pulled apart for the second time.

"We better get to Rivendell" I said.

"Yeah" she replied. "And thanks."

"For what?" I asked.

"For saving me."

So there finally together! Please review!
