"Nimbus and Legolas"
by Trunks's Gal
Chapter Five
With
the help of Gimli, Legolas and Nimbus escaped their forest prison without
Luniar knowing. While they were passing threw another patch of woods, Legolas
and Nimbus heard bushes moving beside them. The three got ready to fight.
"Don't
worry, it's me," a friendly voice said.
"Beokia!"
The
elf climbed out of the bushes and hugged Nimbus. She laughed happily and
let Beokia hold her.
"It's
nice to see you again," Nimbus said.
Gimli
grunted to make sure that Beokia knew that he wasn't welcome. Legolas glared
at Gimli to show him that Beokia was very much welcome among the group.
"We
need to keep moving," Gimli insisted. "We can't let Luniar catch up to
us."
Beokia
nodded.
"It
would be best if we went to Rivendell. Luniar is not welcome and has no
power there. We must hurry," Beokia insisted.
Nimbus
nodded.
"If
you say so, we have no one else to lead us," Gimli said sarcasticly.
"Let's
go," Legolas said firmly.
The
group started to walk away. Gimli stood by Legolas, and they stayed behind
Nimus and Beokia.
"I
don't trust him," Gimli told Legolas.
"He
saved Nimbus and I," Legolas said.
"How
do you know that you can really trust him. Look at Luniar," Gimli insisted.
"Bad
example," Legolas assured.
"How
do you know that Beokia isn't going to lead us into a trap? And steal Nimbus
from you?"
Legolas
looked up at Beokia and Nimbus, they seemed comfortable together. Almost
too comfortable. Legolas scowled.
"See?"
Gimli said.
Beokia
and Nimbus looked back at them.
"Hurry
up," Beokia ordered.
Nimbus
ran back to Legolas and looked him strait in the eye.
"Why
don't you trust me?" she asked.
"I
do trust you," Legolas insisted.
"Then
why are you listening to Gimli?"
Nimbus
frowned at the dwarf.
"Why
are you trying to turn Legolas against me?" she asked.
Gimli
turned red. He bowed for Nimbus.
"I'm
sorry. I let my thoughts get the best of me."
"Yes,
you did. Please don't let it happen again," Nimbus said.
She
held Legolas hand and kissed his cheek softly. Legolas kissed Nimbus's
neck and they continued walking.
"I
wonder if Arwen remembers me..." Nimbus said to no one.
