"Nimbus and Legolas"
by Trunks's Gal
Chapter Three
Aragorn
waited a minute before he went to talk to Legolas. When he arrived, he
saw Nimbus in Legolas's arms. Aragorn hid behind a tree to stay out of
their sight.
"I'm
so glad you're mine again, Nimbus," Legolas said.
Nimbus
smiled happily.
"I
don't think I could have lived much longer without you."
Legolas
rubbed Nimbus's back and said something to her that Aragorn couldn't hear.
"Aren't
they cute together?" Aragorn said to no one.
Legolas
perked up. He glared over at the tree.
"Aragorn,
come out, now!"
Aragorn
stepped out from his hiding place. Nimbus smiled at him and he smiled back.
"I'm
glad to see that you two made up," Aragorn said.
"Thank
you," Nimbus said. "Without you, I would still be away from Legolas with
a broken heart."
Aragorn
knew from the sound in her voice, that Nimbus was truely happy.
"I'm
going to go get Frodo," he said.
Nimbus
and Legolas nodded, and Aragorn ran away.
"Why
did he get Frodo?" Nimbus asked.
"I
don't know," Legolas answered.
He
ran his fingers up and down her arm softly and made Nimbus smile.
"I
can't wait to tell Frodo!" she exclaimed.
"I
can't either."
Nimbus
pulled away from Legolas and climbed up the tree. She saw Aragorn running
towards the Shire, where Frodo lived.
"How
long do you think it will take him?" Nimbus asked.
"He's
not coming back," Legolas said, his face falling grave.
"What?"
"Look."
Nimbus
looked ahead of Aragorn. Luniar's army stood there, waiting for the kill.
Nimbus got ready to jump out of the tree, but Legolas grabbed her arm.
"There's
nothing we can do now," he said.
Nimbus
felt her face growing hot as she watched the army attack Aragorn. For a
second he put up a fight, but he was soon taken down.
Nimbus
started to cry as she saw Luniar throw Aragorn's body thrown aside. Legolas
covered her face in his shirt in attempts to muffle her sobs.
"Luniar's
going to pay," she said.
Legolas
was a little nervous, but he wanted to get back at Luniar too. Killing
Aragorn was the last straw, but it would take many more people to defeat
him. Unfortunatly, there was no way for Nimbus and Legolas to leave the
woods for hope. It seemed as though they were doomed to die.
"I'm
scared, Legolas."
"Don't
be. We'll be okay."
Nimbus
nodded, but knew that Legolas thougth the same way she did; they weren't
going to be living that much longer.
"What
are we going to do?" Nimbus asked.
"I'm
not sure."
