Watched

Chapter 1



Orlando walked quickly toward the trailer. All he wanted to do was

get out of costume and go home before the hobbits caught up to him

and asked him to go out. If they did, he could not turn them down

without them knowing something was up, but he also couldn't take the

feeling of being watched. He had tried to put it off as paranoia,

but he couldn't stop his fear.



After he had taken off his Legolas gear and stepped out of the

trailer, he thought he was home-free.



"Orli!" Orlando groaned inwardly as Elijah ran up. "I'm glad you

haven't left yet! The entire Fellowship is going out!"



Orlando sighed. "Lij, I don't-"



"You have to come! It could be the last time we're all able to go

out together! Beanie is leaving soon, and then you, John, and Viggo

will have night shoots soon after that!" Elijah looked at him with

those big, blue eyes, and Orlando caved.



"Fine, I'll come."



'At least Viggo will be there,' Orlando thought and smiled softly to

himself.



********************



The club was loud and rather crowded. Viggo watched anxiously for

the last two members of their party. He hoped Elijah had been able

to convince Orlando to come. He had been acting strange lately. He

had tried to hide it, but they had noticed and worried about him.



It relieved Viggo to see Elijah walk in with Orlando in tow. They

came over and sat at the booth, 'Lij next to Dom and Orli next to

Vig. Easy banter started up among the actors, but Viggo noticed the

nervous glances Orlando kept throwing around the room.



Viggo reached under the table, took Orlando's shaking hand in his

own, and gave it a reassuring squeeze. Orlando looked up at him in

surprise and then gave a small smile of thanks and grasped his hand

firmly.





Orlando was very grateful for Viggo's presence, but he had to get

away. His house wasn't that far, and seeing as how he'd rode

with 'Lij, he could walk if he had to, even though he didn't feel it

was safe. All he needed was an excuse to leave, but he knew that

nothing could get them to let him leave the club this early.



"Guys, I need to get some air, I'll be right back," Orlando said as

he slipped his hand out of Viggo's and walked out, all the while

feeling a pair of unfriendly eyes watching his every move.



"Do you think he should be alone?" Dom asked. "He hasn't been

himself lately."



"Definitely not," Ian answered. "Someone should go after him." He

fixed his gaze on Viggo pointedly. Everybody else soon followed suit

and looked at Vig.



"I guess I'll go," Viggo said and went after Orlando. He found him

standing outside with his arms wrapped around himself. He looked so

vulnerable that Viggo couldn't help but give into his feelings and

wrapped his arms around him.



Orlando felt arms around him and looked up fearfully. When he saw it

was Viggo, he gave into his feelings and clutched to Viggo tightly.



"Orli, tell me what's wrong," Viggo begged. "Please."



"It's nothing really. Just me being paranoid." Orlando's pleading

eyes looked up into Vig's. "Please, let me just forget it for the

moment and enjoy being held by you."



Viggo tighteded his arms around Orlando. He cautiously leaned

forward and brushed his lips lightly against Orlando's, not wanting

to frighten him. He felt no opposition and pressed his lips firmly

against the younger man's.



When Orlando felt Viggo's tongue asking for entrance, he eagerly

opened his mouth. The kiss was heavenly and neither wanted it to

end. It finally ended when both broke away for want of breath.



"I love you," Orlando said and widened his eyes as he realized what

he had confessed. He was certain Viggo would push him away now.



Viggo smiled slightly at Orlando's fearful expression. He knew what

he was afraid of and was amused that the beautiful man could think

that he wouldn't want him. "Orlando, I've loved you from the moment

I met you and have fallen more in love with you with each day."



"Vig," Orli murmured and brought their mouths together for another

explosive kiss. Orlando was in a state of bliss, that is, until he

felt the eyes on him. He broke the kiss and looked around

frantically. After a moment, his feeling of being watched

decipitated, and he noticed Viggo looking at him in concern.



"Orlando? What's wrong?"



"Nothing," Orli replied, not meeting Viggo's gaze.



"Orli..."



"Viggo, can you just drive me home? Elijah drove me here, and

although it's not far, I...don't want to walk."



Viggo could tell that Orlando was afraid of something, but he didn't

want to push him. "Alright."



*********************



The drive to Orlando's passed quietly.



"Are you sure you're alright?" Viggo couldn't help but ask as he

pulled into the driveway.



"Yes. Thank you, Viggo, for everything."

"My pleasure, love," Viggo replied before leaning over and giving him

a quick kiss. "Goodnight, love."



"Goodnight," Orlando said and got out of the car. Viggo waited until

he was safely inside the house before he drove away.



Upon entering his house, an eerie feeling washed over Orlando. He

shook it off, but it returned and brought fear with it when he

entered his bedroom and saw a note on his bed. Terror welled within

him as he read the words of that note:



'You are mine. I am watching you every minute of every day. Do not

think I did not see you with Mortensen tonight. Stay away from him!

You belong to me. And if you even think about speaking of this to

anyone, people will get hurt, starting with Mortensen. Remember, you

are mine!'
