My Captain, My King

Chapter Fourty

Last Chapter. Wow. I am on FIREE. jk.. I'm not.. But in my dreams, aye?

Alianna's POV

I never thought that today was it. Today was the day where we would try and beat a dominating army of creatures. Creatures that killed my parents, and my happiness. "Alianna, relax.." I scold myself, as my heart starts beating faster and faster. "You are strong. Nothing can get in your way. Those Orcs, they don't know what the meaning of tough is!" I look in the mirror, and let out a small laugh. Why was I giving myself such a cheerful pep talk?

"Are you ready to go?" Legolas makes me jump. I turn around, and smile.

"I feel nervous for some apparent reason..." I gulp. He lets out a hearty chuckle.

"Come on, we're Elves. Nothing can beat us." I playfully punch his shoulder.

"Yep," I laugh. "We will show the Orcs whose boss!" I fasten my pendant around my neck. Legolas helps me put on my chainmail breastplate.

"Well, good luck to you. I will get the most Orcs."

"Oh it's on! Whoever kills the most Or s, wins! You, me, Gimli, and that new girl. We all can compete."

"Oh, you mean Illiressa?" He immediately corrects me.

"Yes," that's what I meant. Then I give him a small wink. "So you've fallen for her?" I see him turn pink.

"Yes, indeed I have. And nobody is going to stop me from showing the world that I love her."

"Legolas, it's only been a day since you've met her. Come on? Do you really think it's going to last?" He frowns.

"Anything is possible if you try and believe. I want to make it happen. "

"Aw, how cute," I smile.

"Oh shush. You're just jealous that Aragorn isn't as cool as me," he laughs.

"Are you guys coming, or not?" Aragorn comes up to us.

"Ready or not, Orcs, here we come!" I sling my arm around his shoulder.

"That's the spirit!" He murmurs in my hair, and kisses the top of my head.

"OI, IM RIGHT HERE YOU KNOW!" Legolas yells at us.

"Don't you have a girlfriend? Don't you do that with her?" He blushes profusely.

"Well, I've only met her yesterday... BUT I DONT GO THIS LOVEY- DOVEY."

" Well good luck with your love... I wish you the best." He suddenly gets quiet.

"What do you mean?" He asks, fear growing in his eyes. His pupils dilate.

"Nothing. I mean, this is war we are talking about. And you don't know how well trained she is. She may die. You may die. I might die. Alianna might die. Gimli might die. Who know? I just wish all of us the best."

"None of us are going to die," I say forcefully. "I won't let it happen. You guys are my friends."

"Spoke like so true friend," Legolas smiles. "Group hug?" We all circle around, and pull each other into a hug. When we pull away, Legolas is crying happy tears. "You guys are the best."

"OKAY. ENOUGH WITH THIS CHEERFULNESS," Gimli yells. "It's Getting on my nerves!"

"Gimli, come join our group hug." I pull him over.

"No!" He yells, a frown forming on his face.

"Gimli, stop being a stubborn dwarf, and get your butt over here." Legolas orders.
