Ranger //ON HOLD//

Chapter Three The Journey Begins

Silmaril's P.O.V

I wake up an hour or so before dawn and dress in traveling clothes. I put on a long sleeved green shirt, light brown riding pants, my brown leather boots, sling my quiver of arrows and my bow over my shoulder, and securely attach my duel long knives to my back.

I arrive at the stables and there is my horse Fay, along with Legolas already mounted on his horse, waiting there. " Am I late?" I ask worried that he had been waiting for a while." No I got here early. Do you want to leave?" He asks me " Yes let us." I reply.

We set off at a slow canter and cover ground quickly.

We have gone many legues by the time it is nightfall. We make camp and I start a small fire.

"Is there something wrong?" I ask Legolas.

" No I am just worried about the Orcs attacking the inoccent people of our realm." He replies.
I can tell when I look into his eyes there is something he is not telling me but I let it go.

I slump tiredly onto him. " Why don't you go to sleep. I will take first watch." He suggests "That is a good idea."I agree. I lay my spare blanket on the ground next to him and wrap my cloak around me as I shiver from the wind.

I am almost asleep when I feel Legolas' lips on mine. He must think I am asleep. With the tingle of his warm kiss against my lips I fall into dreamland.

Legolas' P.O.V

I watch her sleep as there is nothing else happening I gently kiss her lips gently and she moans slightly. I wonder what her dream is about. The wind whispers to the night and I wrap my cloak around me.

~~~~~~~~~~~ A few hours later

I wake her up and we switch places.

I do not fall asleep quickly. I hope we will find the Orcs tomorrow. I worry for my people, I do not kow if they have been slaughtered by Orcs or if they sleep soundly. I finaly sucumb to sleep and hope that the latter idea is right, and not the first one.
