Thank you so much for your support!
After gathering all their stuff, they made their way over to the horses. Aragorn stopped for a moment and studied the group.
"Ok, first let's get your names." He motioned to the girls.
"My name is Amanda." She said stepping forward. Amanda glanced at the other girls.
"Um…I'm Brandy." She raised her hand slightly.
"And I'm Nicole. Our injured friend is Tiffany and speaking of, don't you think we should be leaving now?" Aragorn nodded.
"Though before we leave, how are we going to get there?" Amanda asked. Aragorn pondered that question for a moment.
"Well we shall double up on the horses." Everyone nodded in agreement. "Lady Nicole, you shall ride with Elladan and Lady Amanda you shall ride with Elrohir," the girls walked over to the twins and started mounting." Lady Brandy, you shall ride with Legolas for I shall carry Lady Tiffany." Legolas walked over to Brandy and helped her mount their horse before walking back over to Aragorn to help get Tiffany settled on the horse with Aragorn. Once their task was finished, Legolas jumped up behind Brandy and the group headed off towards Rivendell.
As the sun started to set, the group decided to stop for the night. The twins and Legolas helped the girls off their steeds and started unloading their packs. Aragorn road over to Legolas who was untying his bedroll from the horse and stopped. Legolas looked up at him questioningly.
"Legolas, Lady Tiffany needs medicine as soon as possible." Legolas scowled
"Are you sure that is wise Estel? There are orcs roaming about still and it would only be the two of you and you would be trying to protect you both." Aragorn leaned over slightly and placed a hand on Legolas' shoulder.
"All will be fine mellon-nin, but I can not delay anymore." Legolas nodded. "Please explain to my brothers and the girls, for I'm sure they will question my decision."
"Ride hard Estel!" With a nod, Aragorn road off into the night as Legolas stood staring after him debating with himself if it was a wise decision to let his friend travel alone. As Legolas made his back to the group, he flinched as voices were raised at him.
"Where is he going? Its still danger out there! How can you let him just leave like that with our friend?" Amanda screeched.
"Lady Amanda, you are well aware that your friend is seriously injured and if she does not receive the medical care that is required, there's a greater chance that she shall not recover. She is safe in Aragorn's care and you are well aware of that, so please fear not for your friend."
Legolas placed a hand on her shoulder before moving around her to set up his bedroll. Amanda stared after him, anger clearly showing on her face. She started when a hand was placed on her shoulder.
"Peace Lady Amanda. Come and let us finish getting our packs unpacked." Elrohir smiled down at the young girl and guided her back over to her bedroll. The twins shared a look with each other before setting to work on getting a fire started.
Once the fire had been started, packs of food were brought out and started to be cooked. The group gathered around the fire and ate silently lost in thought. Legolas explained to the group of Aragorn's decision to continue on and they finally accepted it. Amanda cast Legolas an angry look his way before walking over and laying down on her bedroll.
"I fear that she hates me now." Legolas sighed.
"Do not fear mellon-nin. She is just troubled over her friend." Legolas nodded slightly at Elladan. The twins and Legolas spent the next few minutes deciding who was to take first watch. Once it was decided Elrohir was taking first watch, the rest of the group traveled back to their sleeping places and falling into a restless slumber.
