Chapter 3

Tracey had been in Rivendell now for a week and she had regained much of her former strength. The drugs that she had taken had finally worked its way out of her system yet she was still not talking.

As a matter of fact she only talked once - when she told Elrond her name at the beginning of the week. He asked her other questions about her life and that was when she stopped talking. This worried Elrond to no end because he knew that she needed to talk.

Elrond knew that Tracey had been suffering from nightmares because he was woken one night when he heard an anguished cry coming from the family healing rooms just down the hall from his bedroom. He had then jumped out of bed and into his robe and slippers and ran to the Healing room in time to hear Tracy wake up and start crying in earnest. After he tried to get Tracey to talk to him about what had happened but he could not get her to talk. She them climbed back into bed and he left the room.

That following day Elrond got his family and friends together to talk about what they could do to get Tracey to open up so they could help her and to help Tracy heal more fully. It was obvious to everyone present in the room that there was more to Tracey then she was letting on so that was when Elladan piped up and suggested that Tracey be moved to her own chambers so she could have a little more privacy. Maybe then she would feel like talking. That was almost a week ago and now Elrond was heading back to the healing rooms to check up on Tracey and to take her new room.

When Elrond walked into the room he was not at all surprised to find Tracey standing out on the Veranda looking at the scenery that made up Rivendell's beautiful landscape. In all reality Tracy was not seeing the landscape instead she was lost in her own thoughts. She was thinking about how bad all of her now ex-friends had treated her and that she did not deserve to be happy. Tracey was startled from her thoughts when she felt another presence out on the veranda with her. She turned slightly and was not surprised to see Elrond there with her. He had tried to get her to talk to him all week but she could not say anything, she could not speak of all the horrible things that she had been though. She could not burden another with her pain.

Elrond approached her and said "My lady would you like to get out of here now and get settled in your own room in my house?" Tracy nodded her head yes then Elrond motioned for her to follow him. He led her out of the healing room and pointed to the left side of the hallway in front of him. Saying, "These are my sons and my rooms." He pointed to a door on the right side of her and said, "That is my office, you can usually find me there after lunch and after dinner if you want to talk - my duties permitting of course."

They then walked a little ways down the hall. Elrond then pointed to a door just on the left just after a painting of a white horse and rider saying, "That is the library. It is open to all in the house. Feel free to go in there and look around and enjoy." At that Tracey perked up a little because she absolutely love to read. Elrond then continued "If you need to talk and cannot find me in my office I am sometimes in the library reading or just relaxing after a long day of work."

Tracey noticed that he said the words "if you wanted to talk" a lot. She knew she should talk to him for Elrond could possibly help her. Before she had a chance to think much more then that, they were moving again. They passed a painting of two elves sitting under a big oak tree when they stopped again in front of a big oak door. She looked behind her and realized that it was a long corridor that they had passed though but she could still see all the rooms that Elrond had told her about, for that she was grateful.

Elrond then brought her out of her musings when he spoke, "And this is your room were you will be staying in for as long as you are here." Elrond opened the door and motioned for her to go into the room and he followed her and shut the door behind them both.

To say that Tracey was speechless was an understatement, she was downright floored. The room was HUGE! It was a cream colored room with forest green and heather gray accents on the walls. The room had what appeared to be a king size bed right in the middle of the back wall in the room. It was covered in a plush heather gray comforter and a fare amount of pillows that looked really, really soft.

She headed for the bed and sat on it, she was right - the bed was so soft! It felt like she was sitting on a cloud and the pillows she had never felt something as soft as those before. She knew that she would have no problem sleeping.

She continued to look around the room and then noticed that there was an intricately hand carved wooden desk lightly varnished to give it a nice glossy oak finish across from the bed. She then saw that there was another door on the far wall that she assumed led to the bathroom. She was momentarily stunned when she noticed a door was left open on wardrobe in the corner next to the balcony door. She walked over to it to close it when she noticed that if was full of beautiful dresses and some tunics and leggings. She then noticed her jeans and the shirt that she arrived in had been cleaned and hung up next to the other cloths. She noticed how much they stood out next to the other outfits but she was, after all from a different place and time.

The whole time that Tracey was exploring the room Elrond was watching her every move. He could tell that she was stunned. He wished that she would tell him what she was thinking about everything, then he noticed that she was looking at the wardrobe. He walked over to her and spoke." Since you did not have any other cloths with you when you came I took the liberty of having some made up for you and had your other cloths cleaned and pressed."

Tracey was stunned again. He had all of these made for her. Those were hers; she inhaled sharply when she realized what they were made out of. All of the dresses were made out of the finest silks, satin and lace and the tunics and leggings were made out of a heavier fabric that she could not even put a name too. She figured it would be like denim fabric to them. She turned to Elrond smiling and said, "Thank you."

Elrond was happy that she had spoken even if it was two simple words. He bowed his head some and replied, "Your quite welcome my lady. I will leave you now so you can get some rest and change for dinner. I will be up to get you again in two hours." Elrond then turned and left, leaving Tracey to her thoughts.

She walked back over to the bed and noticed that she had not noticed before sitting right under her bed was her bag. She picked it up and noticed that it had her diary, her solar powered music player and a few other things that she needed in it. She wondered where it had come from when she realized that she had it on when she walked out to the tree in her backyard to die. She was so relieved to have some of her stuff from home. So she put on her music player and laid down on the bed to get some rest before she had to get up and ready for dinner. She sat her watch to go off in an hour and that would leave her an hour to get dressed and do her hair for dinner. She closed her eyes and feel into a peaceful sleep.
