Chapter one: Meeting new people
I stared right at whoever was in front of me. It was a tall, slim figure with long hair that stared back. And whatever it was, it didn't seem too happy about me. Well I assumed at the time that the creature in front of me was a man (like human you know.) .boy was I wrong!
The figure was holding something against my neck, something cold and sharp, an arrow. So I pressed even further against the tree behind me, but the arrow followed my every move. The darkness of the night made it impossible for me to make out who he was. So I decided to do the next best thing, ask.
"Uhm.Who are you?" I looked up at him and swallowed hard.
"I think you are in no position to ask of my name." His voice felt like daggers thrown in my face and I let my head fall down as his eyes burned into my own.
"I.I am sorry if I angered you." I tried to make my voice sound strong, but I failed miserably.
No answer. I could feel my body starting to shake. *So this is it?* My head was spinning and those words kept repeating themselves over and over.and over.
"I'm too young to die!" I yelled, but I didn't realize I had said that out loud right away. Not before I could see the eyes of the stranger widen in shock.
"Eh.Did I say that out loud?" Rather a statement than a question.
"Yes, you did." He replied in a matter-o-factly tone. "But I'm not going to kill you. (I could swear I heard him mumble "yet" but pushed the thought away.) I only want you name and why you are here." He sounded calmer and his voice seemed poetic somehow.
After thinking a bit, I came to the conclusion that I'd better answer and suppress my stubborn side that so desperately told me to smack him over the head. Who did he think he was?! Ok, so he had the upper hand with the whole I-have-an-arrow-pointed-at-your-neck thingie, but I mean.hello?
I took a deep breath and sighed. "My name is Amani. And to why I'm here, I really don't know what here is." I glared at him.
He glared back. I knew that he probably didn't believe me. Like I cared!
"So you think that I'm stupid?" His voice changed again. "I really don't know what here is." He mockingly mimicked my voice.
I gasped. What the hell? He mocked me. That stupid son of a bitch mocked me! Adrenalin flowed freely in my veins, my heart pumped harder and my eyes widened. I no longer feared him. When I got like this I feared nothing, I just lost all common sense whatsoever.
I held my hand up against the arrow that so neatly was pointed at my artery; I pushed it away with all my might. It hurt badly but I couldn't care less.
"Get that thing away from me this instant!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. He blinked one time and then blinked some more as he gave me a look mixed with astonishment, anger and curiosity.
A moment of silence passed but it felt like hours. I was standing there wondering, should I run? Should I hit him and then run? But my body was frozen. I could not move at all. I got saved by the bell last minute.
Someone was closing in on us, slowly and carefully placing every step with precision. The one standing in front of me looked at me with questioning eyes. He must have noticed that I was looking at something behind him, because he turned his head around, his bow up and ready to shoot.
I closed my eyes afraid to see what might happen. There was a nerve wrecking silence, but noting seemed to occur. After a while I opened my eyes to see the two shadows embracing each other. *What the..?*
"God! Don't you think you are forgetting something? I'm still here! And..eeeew! Do you have to do that in front of me?!" I was getting tired and irritated. And I didn't like being ignored, even if this person was a stranger trying to do whatever he was trying to do with me.
Both shadows turned around to look at me. All I could think about was where the hell is that never-ending black hole to sink into when you need it the most? They sure didn't look to happy about me interrupting their little "get together".
To save myself I put on my Oh-look-I'm-sooo-innocent-and-sweet look. Let me tell you straight away.It did not work. I gave up and went back to glaring at the both of them.
The one that had just arrived came over to me, he was a little taller than the other one but other than that they looked pretty much the same to me, in the dark anyway. As he closed in on me I began to feel dizzy, everything was spinning and soon I could feel my body go limp as I fell to the ground.
I slowly opened my eyes. Everything was blurry, so I concentrated on gaining focus. Someone was sitting on my right side so I turned to face him or her. "Where am I?" My voice sounded gruff. I cleared my throat. The person beside me, his eyes, they looked vaguely familiar. He was tall.really tall. He smiled at me, a fabulous smile that could warm any girl's heart in an instant. So I just smiled back. Only my smile was slightly insecure, I didn't know this man so why waste my charms? Not that I'm in any way famous for my charms.but anyway. "You are in Rivendell Milady." His voice was music to my ears. I found a sigh slipping past my lips as he spoke. *Oh god! Pull yourself together girl. No swooning over strangers!* I slapped myself mentally.
