How is everyone? I hope you all had a happy holiday? Even though I do not celebrate, I still enjoyed my break! Comment on what you did on your Christmas! Tell me what you ate, and if you do receive presents...what did you get? Also, where the song above was filmed... I went there a few years ago!! It was cool! anyways... enjoy the chapter!

I walk with the four other people in my group. Yes, Legolas convinced me to come. Recalling to the event, it showed me how much everyone cared about me. Except maybe Aragorn. He didn't seem to care about me at all. 

As I gathered my belongings from the camp, I felt someone's presence behind me. "Go away, idiot. I don't like you." I hear a chuckle.

" So I'm an idiot? And you don't like me?" I turn around to see Legolas with his arms urging me to hug him.  He smiles and steps forward. His arms wrap around me like a warm, protective, blanket. "Alianna, he did not mean anything he said to you." He murmurs through my hair, kissing my forehead, softly. 

I smile, and let go of him. "We just do not get along very well, I guess." I lean forward, and kiss his soft lips. It is not passionate, but more of a friendly kiss. He smiles and steps away.

"I love you so much, Alianna. I love you like a brother would love his sister. Do not forget that. Aragorn can be grumpy, but he too, had a challenging past. He also swore to protect Frodo on this journey, and now carries the burden of feeling like he failed." 

" I need to save Frodo." I reply softly. Then I find myself adding something I do not expect myself to add. "I think I love Aragorn. " 

Legolas looks at me in surprise. "But you are marrying Haldir!" I nod.

"What if I call it off?" I look into his eyes. He is confused. 

"I do not think that Haldir would like something like that. But I will keep your secret safe with me. You may tell Aragorn your feelings for him, when you wish. But I do not know if he will take it the same way I did."

"I know." I reply, wrapping my arms around Legolas once more. "Thank you, Mellon. You have been a great help."

"Now, come with us. We have a journey to finish." 

After that, I remained silent for the rest of the walk. Legolas shuffles next to me. And just to keep it awkward, Gimli rides on Hilya, who does not seem to like him in my place. I catch up to Hilya, who demands Gimli to get off. She is about to throw him off. Oh no! I try and grab the reigns, but my hands start to slip. Aragorn grabs the reigns,and places them in my hands. His warm fingertips brush against mine. I think I may have blushed a little. Hilya starts to calm down. I laugh as Gimli slides off the horse. I start to get on, but a pain in my arm stops me. "OW!" I cry out, getting off. Aragorn looks worried. 

"What is it?" He asks me, concern washing over his face. He comes over to me. "Do you need help?" 

"Yes please. I think I may have pulled my muscle." He nods uncertainly. Then he holds on to my waist, and lifts me up. I swing my leg over, and smile down at Aragorn. "Thank you!" He smiles back. 

"Your welcome! Now, does anybody else want to get on the pony?" He turns to Legolas and Gimli. "I will walk, thank you very much! No horse for me!" Gimli backs away. Legolas eagerly gets on, in the back. 

I feel him press his stomach against mine, and his arms wrap around my waist. "What is wrong?" He must be asking about my arm. 

"It is nothing. Do not worry." I wave it off, and then hear him whisper, before we set  off again. 

"You did not make a fool of yourself when Aragorn gave you the reigns. Good job. " 

I smile. "Thank you, Legolas." Then, we ride off, with Aragorn, and Gimli in front of us.
