I awoke the next day to an almost empty cave. I had slept amazingly all night, Faramir let me sleep on his cot and he slept outside of his chambers to watch over me he said. I really liked Faramir, he was a sweet man really. I closed my eyes briefly and stretched. When I opened my eyes, there was Faramir standing there with a smug look on his face. I gasped, startled.
"Don't you know how to knock! I'm not decent!" I yelled, covering myself up. I was only in my sheer underclothes. He just laughed at me.
"You're my prisoner, I don't have to knock." He said, coming over and sitting on the cot next to me. I covered myself with the covers.
"Can I help you?"
"We will be leaving soon, do you wish to eat?"
"Why are you being so nice to me? I'm a prisoner."
"You're also a princess. So, you will be treated as such."
"So, you're only good to me because of who I am?"
"No, no, Helena you are beautiful, I would not just treat you good because of who you are."
"You wish to court me?"
"You are a prisoner." He said simply and got up. He stopped short of the doorway. "Get dressed, we will be leaving soon."
I done as I was told and got out of bed. I wasn't usually so submissive, but with him it seemed to have just come natural. I just done what he asked me to without question. I knew not why I only knew I didn't like it. I walked out of the bedroom chambers to find Sam cooking for everyone. Prisoners my ass.
"We have a long day ahead of us, you must eat, Helena." Faramir said.
"You are not my boss, Faramir." I decided to fight my urge to submit to his commands.
"Eat please, Helena."
"No, I'm not hungry." I lied.
He made his way over to me and put a hand on my shoulder.
"I do not wish to see you starve, My Lady."
"Fine." I sat down with Sam and Frodo.
"We have to get out of here, My Lady." Sam said to me.
"I know. I have a plan. It's cruel, but our only chance. When I give the signal, you two and the creature run. You will know the signal when I give it."
Faramir's men were gone scouting. I only had one plan of escaping, it was risky and it was cruel but it had to be done.
"Faramir, can we talk?" I asked smiling.
"If you wish to speak to me, we can talk right here." He stood up and I pulled him off to the side.
I threw him up against the wall of the cave forcefully but playfully. I smiled and locked my lips with his. I kissed him hard and he turned me around, pinning me against the cave wall. He picked me up and I threw my legs around his waist. I opened my eyes for a moment as he kissed my neck. The hobbits were smart and figured out that my kissing him was the signal. I felt so bad doing this to him. He kissed me with such passion, I knew he liked me a lot. I was just hurting him.
"I'm sorry Faramir." I said and shoved him away regretfully and ran.
"Helena! Helena wait!" I heard him call after me.
I quickly caught up with the hobbits. We ran as fast as we could to get as far away from Faramir as possible. I felt horrible for what I'd done to him...
"Alright hobbits, you've proven yourself to be worthy. So, with much regret this is where I leave you off." I explained.
"But why, Helena? We need you." Sam said with his eyes tearing up.
