The Beginning

CHAPTER 19

We made a bonfire and we got to sleep a bit.

The sun was rising. I opened my eyes. I was so sleepy and saw a dark figure sitting in front of me. It wasn't Tauriel.

I got up and saw him. Legolas was really angry. I looked at Tauriel sitting under a tree. She looked sad. Legolas must shouted at her.

I smiled at him.

"Hi. You didn't tell us you were coming" I said laughing like nothing happened.

Tauriel was making me signs to shut my mouth.

"...and you didn't tell me you ran away" he said. Suddenly, his voice changed into worse. "YOU SHOULD BE IN RIVENDELL" he said pointing at me.

"AND YOU SHOULD TOLD ME ABOUT MY MOTHER" I said pointing at him. It looked like a kids' game.

He turned around and didn't say a word.

"Tauriel! You'll come with me. Arya, go back to Rivendell" he said with a bossy voice.

"I am not going anywhere" he looked back at me.

"Just leave, Arya" he looked really angry.

"It's her mother. Let her come" Tauriel said. He looked at me again and didn't say any word.

"Come on" Tauriel said to me

We were leaving the forest and Legolas saw orcs in the distance. They were far away.

"It's an army. Looks like they are ready for war" he said.

"Where are they going?" I asked.

"Rohan, maybe" he said. "But we are going to the Shire"

"To the Shire?" Tauriel said. "We have to go the harbour to get to Valinor"

"I know but I am meeting some old friends there" he said.

At night, we made a small bonfire.

Legolas was next to the river, near the waterfalls.

I sat on a rock. I looked back and saw Tauriel sleeping. When I looked foward, he was looking at me.

"We didn't want to say nothing to you. It is too fangerous, Arya" he said while sitting next to me. "You're important to me. If something happens to you, I'd die" he put softly my hair behind my ear.

I looked at him.

"I understand why you did it. But nothing can't stop me to rescue my mother" I said to him.

"I know" he grabbed my hand and kissed it.

"You should go to sleep" he said. "Tomorrow's going to be a long day"
