I cry Just a Little [Legolas FanFic] (WattyAwards 2013 Finalist)

Nothing but a sweet Dwarf

Legolas' POV

Ella was beautiful than any living human on this land. I couldn't get her amazing eyes out of my head. The way she looked at me just took my breath away. The glowing marks on her body was unique but they amaze me.

I promised her that I would protect her from any danger that we may encounter on this journey and I meant it especially the one when we all survive and we would travel the whole land together.

It was strange because I never felt this way towards a person ever in my life even towards Tauriel, I put my right hand on my chest and I noticed that every time I thought of Ella my heart would beat faster than its normal rate.

Is this what my father told me that he felt towards my mother? Love?

Ella's POV

I woke up not wanting to get out of bed, but I had to for we were about to leave Rivendell. I got out of bed and took a quick bath and wore this;

We said our goodbyes to everyone in Rivendell especially Arwen, we were both near to tears but we held them in and pretend that we were brave enough. She gave a beautiful necklace to Aragorn and she told me to watch over him and myself.

Soon we were off, I was the only one riding a horse. In front leading the way was Grandfather and Frodo, behind them was Gimli along with Sam, Merry and Pippin. On my right was Aragorn and on my left was Boromir and behind me watching on all of us was Legolas.

We were traveling for what seemed like days, sometimes we would stop to make everyone eat. I have grown more skinnier each day since I was eating so little, I have also grown more pale and every time night would come everyone's eyes would be on me since my glowing marks on my body would show off very brightly. Sometimes Grandfather has to hide me in a cloak so we don't draw attention from anything or anyone.

Soon we stopped to rest for a day. It was like in the middle of no where, all there was was sand, rocks and a few trees and bushes. "You can let the Ella down from her horse, I think her behind is sore." grandfather said. To think about it, yes my butt hurts from sitting a long time.

Before Boromir could take me off the horse by touching my waist I leaned the other way not thinking I might fall off, but I almost fell off but Aragorn caught me. "Ehoa! Are you alright M'lady?" he asked. 

"Yes, I'm just tired." I lied. I wasn't tired at all. I just didn't want to be near Boromir ever again.

Soon Aragorn set me on top of a rock where I sat and ate Bacon and fried tomatoes that Sam cooked for me, Sam was still cooking for everyone, Frodo and Aragorn were watching Boromir teach Pippin and Merry how to fight with swords, Gandalf and Gimli were talking while Legolas was on watch.

Soon Merry and Pippin were tackling Boromir and Aragorn interfered then they also started to tackle him and everyone was laughing, I smiled but my smiled faded away when Boromir smiled and looked my way while he winked at me.

I soon stood up and walked over to where Legolas stood, with my arms folded. Legolas smiled and asked "What may I be a service to the beautiful chosen one?" I blushed and hide my face under my hood and said "No need of your service kind elf, but I may be in need of a friend." It's a good thing I knew how to speak their kind of English before I came here. It kinda suited me, I used to even speak like this in my world that's why everyone in school would call me a freak.

I was born for this, He turned to me and smiled. The smile that made me melt as always. "I'm always here M'lady, I'm so glad I agreed to come along with this journey because if I haven't I would never have met you... Ella." he said making me blush even more. Boromir shouted in pain, Legolas and I snapped our heads towards Boromir and the hobbits took him down and I laughed.
