Hiiiiii! I'm like a day late so that's actually really good for me considering I'm usually like a week late with homework. I promise I am trying to make sure that I update on the day I said I was because I hate it when authors say one thing and never follow through. Anyways, enjoy the chapter Brochachos! (That's my nickname for you guys from now on)
I have never really had a love life. I have never even responded to flirting. I was content with holding boys away at arms length. I had my parents and my sister, and that was all I needed. With that being said, I have no experience whatsoever with the opposite sex. Which is why I just blatantly stare at the handsome face just a few inches from mine.
"Um." I say, as I get my vocal cords to function again. Too bad my brain is still broken. Why can't I talk to him? I've been able to communicate with guys before. Then again, other guys aren't as distracting as this one.
I shake my head slightly, blinking quickly. I look back up at his face.
"Hi." I say. Alright, good so far. Now arrange words into a coherent sentence. "My name is Emelia." Nailed it. Imaginary explosions just went off in my brain.
"Hello." He grins, relieved to know that I'm mentally competent.
"So...Kili. Is that Spanish or something?" Oh my god. Inward face palm. Of course it's not fucking Spanish.
"I do not know what you mean." He replies, blankly. He dismisses it. "So...Emelia. Is that-how you say- Spanish? Whatever that means."
"No, I'm British. Britain and Spain are both in Europe, so I guess in a way, I am Spanish." Ha, if Emily heard me talking like this, she would call me a retard in every language she knew. But it's obvious that he has no idea what I'm talking about so I can pretty much say anything I want about the world I come from.
"Where is Europe? I don't believe I have ever seen it in any map I studied as a child." His brow is furrowed, and it's honestly the most adorable face I've ever seen.
"You wouldn't have known about it. It is in another world entirely. I'm not from here. Obviously. My world is...modern. We have evolved technology to make things easier in our everyday lives. Like, instead of horses, we ride big metal machines that have wheels and they run on resources found in the ground."
He looked absolutely immersed in what I was saying. I have to say, having the attention of someone as gorgeous as him definitely boosted what I thought to be a shitty day. I decide to continue telling him about my world. I tell him about the buildings we call skyscrapers, airplanes, coffee shops, cell phones, etc. Basically everything that is different about our worlds.
"We have this thing called Internet. We use it for information on everything. And to look up pictures. Or juicy gossip on people that we treat like Gods. In other words, celebrities. People that are known everywhere by everyone. I hate them." I say, a matter of factly. I stop talking about home after that. Talking about it makes me feel homesick. Kili starts playing with a stone that he had in his pocket. It's smooth, shiny, and has beautiful markings carved on one side of it.
He starts to toss it in his hand and just as I'm about to ask what it is, I hear a melodious voice that I absolutely loathe the minute I hear it.
"That stone in your hand. What is it?"
"Jeebus!" I exclaim. I whirl my head around and I see one of the pointy-ears. She has the reddest hair I've ever seen grown down to her ass, with a couple of braids pinned up on top of her head. Her green eyes look pretty but dull like they've seen too many things. Her face would be pretty too, if it weren't set in the snobbish expression she has now. To be fair she's beautiful like the other pointy-ears but I don't like her because...well, I don't know why.
"It's a talisman." Kili answers. An ancient spell lies upon, and if any other but a dwarf read the marks on this stone they will be forever CURSED!" And he sharply holds out the stone towards her between his fingers. She backs away slightly. I stifle a giggle, knowing that he's just bullshitting her. She starts to walk away.
"Or not!" Kili carries on. She stops mid-stride. "Depending what you believe in. It's just a talisman. My mother gave it to me to remind me of my promise."
"What promise?" Red asks before I do. ERGGHH! How come she is so quick at saying the things I want to say?! Also, I wonder if Blondie would be able to teach me how the elves move so quietly.
"That I would return to her." He says. She smiles and looks down. "She thinks I'm reckless."
"And are you?" I say quickly, before Red does.
He smiles at me and I think I forget to breathe. "Nah." He tosses the stone one more time and accidentally drops it on the stone floor. It rolls out of the cage and a boot lands on it before it can disappear down into the river below the dungeons.
Red picks it up and examines it, and Kili jumps up quickly.
Finally, I get too annoyed at her not giving it back to him right away. "Hey, Red. How about you give him back the rock and I won't have to chew the bars off and shove my foot up your ass?" I didn't believe she would ever give it back and that she'd keep it out of spite for the hatred their kinds shared between each other.
She whirls around as if she forgot I was here. I glare up at her and she glares back. "Hold your tongue, dwarf."
I bristle. "Or how about I hold your tongue? After I cut it out because of you being such a bitch." I don't know where this violent side of me came from. Alright I'll be honest, I am a little jealous. But only because I thought that I had a chance to strike this guy's interest and this Troll was ruining it. It's not as if I felt a deep connection with him that gave me butterflies and obliterated anything that was on my mind so I couldn't think of what to say. No, that would be silly. An even sillier thought would be that I could see him experiencing the same feeling.
Anyway it didn't matter. I was having the worst day possible and possibly the worst night because I've been stuck in this cell for too many hours. The slightest set me off into a violent and cranky mood.
"If King Thranduil was not keeping you prisoner, your head would be ten feet away from your body." She sneers down at me.
"Give. Him. The. Fucking. Rock." I say very quietly. She looks over at him and holds it out in her hand. He takes it and looks down at the ground. "Thank you." He says quickly. "I am Kili." He says. He gives me a look that says to be quiet. It's obvious that she was about to do something to me before he distracted her.
She looks down at him. "Tauriel." She takes a deep breath and walks away.
"Can you even kick your leg high enough to reach her ass, Lia?" I freeze at the familiar voice. I see a whoosh of black hair and pale limbs step silently and gracefully out of the shadows. Whoa, my sister was able to slip unnoticed by the bitch troll. I'm impressed. She drapes herself against the wall next to my cage. She just looks at me for a long time, and I look back waiting for her to speak, or kick the cage door open and break her leg. Finally, she simply holds up a set of golden jingly things that I could make out as keys.
I grin up at her until my face almost splits in two.
"My knight in shining armour."
She snorts. "Yeah, yeah." She unlocks the cage and throws me over her shoulder.
"Whoa whoa whoa! What the hell?!"
"With your short legs, I don't think you'd be able to keep up." she says dismissively. Sigh. Oh well. I don't like physical exercise anyway. I look forward and see dwarves tailing after us, and one little man whose shorter than the others.
The little man than starts to lead us to what I believe to be a cellar. There are pointy-ears passed out on the table. The little man, who I hear to be called "Bilbo" (adorable name) starts to try to convince the dwarves to get in the barrels. He finally succeeds and then pulls a lever and all of the barrels go tumbling after the floor falls away. I gulp. "Please tell me we have a different form of transportation."
"Nope." I hear the grin in Em's voice. Suddenly the floors closes back up and she sets me down and we all stare at the place that the opening used to be. I breathe a sigh of relief.
"Well, shit. Better luck next time, now let's go find another way." Em and I turn around just as we hear the Troll's voice. "Where is the keeper of the keys!?"
We start frantically running around and we hear a thud and we look to see the floor open and close again as Bilbo falls through. Sigh. Guess we have no choice. We start to run in that direction-
WHAM!
My head feels pain and my vision goes black for a second as I'm thrown and pinned to the ground. As my vision clears, I see Tauriel on top of me pinning my arms and legs down and a dagger to my throat. I look over at Em whose also pinned down by Legolas, with a dagger to her throat. What is it with these people and sharp objects?
"Going somewhere?" Legolas says with a raised brow, looking between both of us. He whistled for the guards to come grab us and they haul us to our feet. But we aren't going down without a fight.
I thrash wildly in the arms of the two guards holding me. I kick out at their groins but I'm too short so I end up hitting their inner thigh below my target, but it seems to work just as good because I hear them grunt in pain. Em managed to get one of her hands free and is clawing at one of her guards, who yelps in pain when her nails rake down his face, drawing blood. For once, I'm glad she forgot to do her weekly nail trim. It's not even funny how long those things could grow.
As I punch and kick, she also punches but instead of kicking, she throws her weight around and knocks them off balance. She manages to get free and shoves them to the ground and charges at the guards holding me. She gets to about a few feet away from us until she's knocked to the ground again by Red.
Tauriel takes out her dagger again and presses it harshly against Em's throat. I stop fighting and watch as the blade digs in enough to cut the skin and blood seeps out. Not too badly but I still feel a shiver of fear at my sister being in potential harm.
"Have you ceased trying to resist imprisonment?" Blondie asks from against the wall where he watched on in amusement. Glad he finds us so entertaining. If that bitch troll hurts my sister than he's going to be REALLY entertained.
This time, we let the guards take us. They don't handle us gently, seeming how I bruised mine and Em made hers bleed. They drag us down a long hall, and we are standing at a set of large doors-the same ones I saw them take Emily through.
"Oh, fuck," Emily sighs. I look at her quizzically. "Behold King Deuche of Kingdom Deuche Bag." She says under her breath.
The doors open to reveal a long, thin walk-way with what looks to be a thousand foot drop if you were to fall off of it. Okay, not a thousand but a big enough drop to kill you if you fell. I forget how much I hate the guards and cling to them, silently praying they don't lose their footing and drag me off of the path.
Finally, we reach the end and I let out the breath I've been holding and look up... and lose my breath again.
So bright...I think my eyes got damaged as I looked up at the stream of hair that looked liked sunlight. No I'm not even kidding, I could have permanent blindness.
I look at Em. "Well I lost all function of my retinas permanently." She snorts.
I look back up at the majestic man (there's no other word to describe him other than perfect, shiny, and fabulous-I hate him already) he has the same shade of ice blue eyes that Legolas has. He wears a long silver robe that has intricate designs on it, his hair is a blinding shade of silvery blonde, and his crown, okay his crown is pretty awesome. It's like all spiky with red berries and fits to his head perfectly. He was also impossibly tall and had lithe movements. Most would have called him sexy as hell but I didn't find him appealing because I'm weird that way.
All in all, I can see the family resemblance when I look at Leggy over here. Even the arrogant, cold gaze is the same. Em was right. Mega-deuche.
"I thought I told you, Legolas. If you couldn't keep her in line, she'd be thrown with the dwarf filth in the dungeons." Deuche says to Leggy.
"I thought that I could! But she was very insistent on us letting her sister go." Legolas responds defensively.
"Well clearly you did not do a very good job. Tauriel, take them away, and this time try not to let them escape," the king says, sounding bored.
Legolas starts to argue with his father in some unknown language, but Tauriel and the guards drag us away regardless.
"Well, just imagine how much fun we'll have locked in a cage together!" I say to Em, trying to brighten the mood. But nothing could brighten this mood. Not even the deuche's hair.
Em groans as we lie down in the cell. "You are so lucky you have me as your sister," she says. "I chose you over that blonde God of deliciousness."
"The one who causes permanent damage to your eyesight when you look at him?" I ask, acting clueless.
She smacks my thigh. "Don't be a dummy. I'm talking about mister Yummycake that captured us in the woods."
I wiggle my eyebrows. "Oh, I see." We grin at each other. "Well, I've been trapped in this cell with my own Yummycake. If I had to choose between you and him, I would've chosen him."
Em giggles. "Uh huh."
We continue to joke around. It would almost seem like an ordinary day at home together. Almost. I have a chance to forget all that has happened for five minutes and just enjoy that I have my sister back.
But I know that five minutes will be over quickly, and we'll be back to the old drawing board. We have a prison to escape from.
I hope you enjoyed that chapter! It was a hard one to write and I made it a little longer than the first two. I hope you guys don't mind but I hate Tauriel with a passion. Both Kil and Legolas gave her attention in the movies and that made me and my best friend (the other author) absolutely loathe her. So be prepared for a not-too-good future for her...MWAHAHAHAHA...maybe Tauriel WILL get Emelia's foot shoved up her- nevermind...
I swear to the great pickle God that I will TRY to get the next chapter posted on Monday (pacific time). Reviews, reviews, reviews! That will make me really happy. If I get a lot of reviews and suggestions as to what you want in the next chapter I will try to include them! Please I beg of you, reviews! Follow and favorite too! Pleeeaaseeee!
