My Captain, My King

Chapter Thirty Seven

I'm only doing three more chapters and an Epilogue...

"Do you ever wish that there was no such thing as a Sauron? That there wasn't a Ring? That our life was completely normal, with no death that suddenly occurs? No Orcs?" Legolas turns to me, his hand still entwined in mine. It was late at night, and we still sat on the grassy hills.

I look into his blue eyes, which used to be so full of mischief. Now they look dull, and sad. "Well, if it hadn't been for the Orc attack on my village, then I would have never been friends with you." He looks at me, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Why are we in this? Why did we have to pledge ourselves to go do a horrible task?" Im taken back.

"Are you kidding me?" I start to raise my voice. "What type of sick joke is this?"

"I'm telling the truth!" He looks scared.

"First of all, you totally can't say that! We are trying to destroy Sauron, second of all, the Orcs killed your mum, and third, didn't you tell me that it wasn't OK to leave the group, and go back home? So now it's the opposite?" I'm so annoyed. How could he say such things? I get up, and start walking back to the barracks.

"Alianna, wait!" He cries out.

"No!"

"Listen, I'm sorry!" I wheel around, and face him.

"Sorry won't cut it! I thought you cared for your friends. I took you for the guy that cares for people! I guess I was wrong."

(Later on that day...)

Legolas is hunched over, his head in his hands. He is in his room, and I am spying on him, just to make sure that he isn't so let down.
"Why am I such an idiot?"
Legolas, your not an idiot. You're just a filthy hypocrite. I cringe slightly. How could I say that about such a nice fellow?

Later on that day, I see Legolas, but I look away every time he looks straight at me. Instead, I make small talk with Duryin.

"So what do you plan on doing after this all ends?" He asks me.

"It's going to end? Who told you?"

"Well, I have to be optimistic once in a while, you old grouch. "

"Are you the one getting your butt kicked all the time?"

"No..."

Aragorn's POV

I ride with the Elleth in green. I see tall pillars coming closer and closer. We were so close now. I hear the shouts of the guards, and I nudge my horse to ride faster. We enter the city of Rohan, and jump off the horse, pulling Elf girl with me. "Help me.." She murmurs, before her eyes roll in the back of her head, and she passes out.

I push the doors open, my hair in my eyes, I have the Elleth slung over my shoulder. Then I see him. Legolas is hunched over, and he looks up just in time to see me. "ARAGORN!" He exclaims. He hurried over to me. "You look terrible," he grins cockily. "Wait till Alianna sees you, you big jerk. How could be alive?!" Then he runs yelling for Alianna.

"Wait!!" I call,"Take this girl! Watch her for me!" Legolas looks at her, and takes her from me.

"Woah... She's cute."

"Alianna, where is she?"

"In her room. She's mad at me, don't ask though."

"Okay, thanks." I fun to Alianna's room. "Knock knock."

"Who's there?"

"Aragorn."

"Aragorn who?"

"Aragorn back from the dead."

"Wait what?!" She swings open the door, and takes one look at me before bursting into tears. "How are you alive?"

"Don't ask." Then, I kiss her like I haven't kissed her in a million years.

Oh my gosh... I have ten percent on my tablet left of battery I need my phone for more classes... And my tablet doesn't have battery saver like my phone does. Shucks. Anyways, vote if you liked this chapter, and comment!!
