MAIL is welcome, but flame reviews are not (I will hunt you down!). Catalina is a
character of mine whose personality is based on a friend of mine, Cate (get it?). If the
grammar and spelling is bad I apologize, I need some time to daze during school and
English is last period.
About a year before Legolas joins the fellowship...
Catalina being the elf that she was never wanted to sit around with the others nor did she
quite wish to travel in groups, so she set off on her own searching for adventure. She
carried unique weapons to the time, two katana blades, very sharp, very deadly. If she
chose these two pointed swords could be thrown across a long distance, due to their
amazing light weight, and find themselves piecing anyone who would dare cross Miss
Catalina or send her a mild threat.
She has a few friends that she gained from just coming across them on their own
journeys and possibly lending a helping hand where they needed it before continuing on
her never ending quest. Even so her rendezvous with such people came on rare occasions.
Many times she may run into the same group or single wanders 2 times in one month. Of
course each time they came across Catalina and knew it was her they all made sure she
knew who they were just in case she tried to strike one of her blades in their flesh.
Though this habit of her constant idea that the next person around the bend just may be a
danger to her can be deadly to the person who doesn't see her it has also been life saving
to her many times.
Catalina was just awaking from slumber around a peaceful waterfall when she
heard the sound of footsteps. Trying to wake as quickly as possible she rose to her feet
with katana in hand and took a closer look as to where these wandering foes were headed.
Her ears tried to capture as much of the sound as possible and with each footstep she
turned a bit to make sure she was facing the direction the sound was coming from. Soon
she saw a flash of color that was unlike that of any of the natural colors that surrounded
her. She quickly spotted the body of whoever was so unlucky to have crossed her path
and took aim. Following each movement as closely as possible. She bean to throw her
sharp blades.
"Catalina?" asked the voice.
Catalina froze for a second the blades nearly out of her hands. She recognized that
voice. It took her a second to realize that it was her friend from a journey before,
Gabrielle.
"I bet you spotted me way before I even got the slightest idea that anything living,
besides that of trees, was anywhere around," stated Gabrielle.
"What are you doing here?" questioned Catalina. Gabrielle had finally come into
view passing over a final layer of trees.
"I got lost from the rest of the group... well actually I decided I didn't want to
travel with them anymore. I wanted to live my own life travel on my own trails see my
own things," replied Gabrielle excitedly.
"You expect to live?"
"Live or die its no matter to me. Either way I get to do what I like. Free! Free to
do as I wish!"
"You're one of the oddest elves I've ever met," said Catalina with a small smile.
"Quite frankly I've admired your life style, but where do I go from here?"
"Anywhere you want."
Gabrielle began to spin around looking in all directions testing her sight to see as
far as she could. She studied as much of the surrounding lands as she could before
turning back to Catalina.
"Where do I want to go?" she asked.
"That better well be a rhetorical question," mumbled Catalina.
"Should I go back to the other elves? Can you show me the way?"
"If I think that where I am is really where I am, I should be able to get you there
alright. It isn't far at all from here, if I'm right. I haven't got much better else to do. So..."
"You'll take me!" interrupted Gabrielle.
"Yes, but I won't have any of your obsessive nervous talking! I loose my sense of
direction when I am annoyed." Gabrielle began to laugh and the look of sudden
annoyance in Catalina's face made her laugh even harder. Gabrielle placed a hand on
each of Catalina's shoulders.
"Thank you so much Catalina," Gabrielle said in a more calm voice than Catalina
had heard her speak in since she knew her.
Catalina began to walk towards the sunlight with Gabrielle tailing close behind.
Gabrielle had mentioned wanting to get a weapon of sorts so she could defend herself,
but Catalina assured her that these areas weren't dangerous at all.
Soon enough Catalina froze in her steps looking around, eyeing everything she
could see. Gabrielle took a nervous stance and froze quickly in her steps as she too heard
a sound. Something was coming their way. Something big. The ground shook and
Catalina went to run. Yet her companion did not follow.
"What do you think your doing!" shouted Catalina. Gabrielle was frozen and she
was staring up right into the face of an enormous troll. The troll eyed Gabrielle and
smashed one of its large fists into the ground next to her.
Catalina took out her katana and began slashing at whatever part of the troll was
closest too her yet it did little to no damage to it. A sudden wind of fear blew over
Catalina and she tried to drag Gabrielle away from the area. Yet the troll continued to
follow after. Horse-hooves. Catalina and Gabrielle now could have something even
worse yet headed their way.
Arrows were shooting through the trees and striking the troll. One arrow in the
arm, one in the face, and finally one in the eye. The troll screamed with pain. Yet in its
violent lunge it fell backwards and tripped on a tree stump sending it rolling down trough
the hills.
"So... I guess we're not where I thought we were," said Catalina ashamed.
"No need to thank me," said a voice. Catalina turned to face the person that had
spoken.
"Who are you?" questioned Catalina. An elf about her age came over to her.
"I am Legolas," he replied. "Who might you be?"
"I- I might be Catalina," stuttered Catalina gazing intently on his eyes. Gabrielle
walked over to him and held out her hand.
"I am Gabrielle," she smiled. Legolas shook her hand and then took aim with his
bow at the fallen troll.
"Where did it come from?" asked Catalina.
"There's a nearby cave, it must have come from there." A strange bunch came
walking from behind the troll, a dwarf, a man, and a girl.
"You cause more trouble than you're worth, both of you!" shouted the girl. "Look
what you did you almost got these elves killed!"
"Why do you care? They're just elves," replied the man.
"Just elves? Show some respect! They killed the troll!"
"Quiet down..." said the dwarf. Catalina stepped forward. She eyed the bunch and
then began to explain how really Legolas was the one responsible for killing the dwarf
and not her and Gabrielle.
"At any cost I'd like to excuse the words of my 'friend'. He doesn't show much
appreciation for any other creatures besides Man. Even I am discriminated by him,"
explained the girl.
"Well I say that we must be going anyway! And you will follow me for we have
work to do," ordered the man.
"You go. I'll stay."
"You're insane. What will your father say?"
"As if I cared? I can survive on my own and I don't need him." She pulled out a
sword. "Try and stop me!"
"I won't but I will tell you that I highly disapprove of your decision." With that
the Man and the dwarf left. What they were going to do was never discovered, discussed,
or even questioned. The girl joined the group just for the night she said and they stayed in
the cave that had been emptied of its only inhabitant, the troll (which has been named
Phelps by the girl). Late night in the cave with a warm fire burning and the sound of
Gabrielle snoring and the girl's constant rolling on the hard ground two people remained
awake.
Legolas was stirring the fire when Catalina walked up behind him. Neither of
them knew where they were going or exactly why they had met but both of them seemed
to enjoy each other's company. Neither of them knew the adventures that would come
next and the peril that they would have to live through.
