Lyra
We decide to make camp for the night, I sit on the ground looking at the necklace Arwen gave me and sigh, I miss her so much already. I hear howling in the distance but getting closer.
"What is that?" Merry asks afraid
"Nothing, just a wolf" Boromir says
"No, that's no ordinary wolf" I say standing drawing my claws
"She's right" Gandalf says
"What is it then?" Sam asks
"Either a werewolf, grim or hellhound, or possibly a mix of them" I say
I look towards the woods as I see red glowing eyes, I look at the others.
"Stay back, I'll handle this" I say
"No, not alone" Legolas says
"I have to" I say and step forward, making the creature growl, it's big, I then realize it's a mix of them all. I growl and snarl, the creature runs and leaps over my head, I turn as I hear a cry of pain, I see the creature biting Legolas, I jump onto it and fight it off of him, I struggle with it trying not to get bit until Aragorn shoots it. I rush back to Legolas who is wreathing and crying out in pain.
"Shhh, it's alright. It'll be over soon, I promise" I say
"What's happening to him?" Pippin asks
"He's becoming one of them, it's my fault, I should have been faster" I say looking down at Legolas.
"You did what you could, now you must help him through this" Gandalf says putting a hand on my shoulder.
"I'd like some space with him" I say, the others nod and move away from us.
"I'm so sorry, if I was faster this wouldn't have happened" I say
"No, no. I-it's f-fine, I must confess so-something" Legolas says putting an hand to my face and moving some hair out of my face and behind my ear.
"What?" I ask
"I-i love you L-lyra" He say and winces.
"I love you too my mate" I say
"I feel a strong desire for you" He says
"I guess that means I am you're mate too" I say smiling, he smiles, the pain gone and the venom done spreading. He leans up on his elbows, his eyes glow red, he smiles as mine glow their gold. He kisses my collarbone and moves up my neck, I close my eyes enjoying his lips on my skin, he kisses my jaw bone and then my lips.
"We should get some rest my love" He says, his eyes going back to normal
"Alright" I say
He lays back down and pulls me down with him and kisses me a moment and then pulls me closer.
"I love you Lyra" He says
"I love you too" I say and drift off to sleep.
I the morning the Fellowship climbs the snowy slopes of Caradhras. As we climb through the glistening, fresh snow beneath the great blue sky, Frodo looses his footing and falls, rolling down the slope towards Aragorn.
