Chapter 4
It had been three days since Strider and the other hobbits had arrived in Rivendell. Every hour the hobbits checked up on Miranda. Most of the time it was in a group. Gandalf had arrived two days ago. When he heard a girl was stabbed he had to see who it was. When he got there all of the hobbits were a sleep at the edges of the bed. He decided to come back the next day. Fortunately for him the mysterious girl woke up that day.
Miranda awoke to feel herself in a soft bed. She could hear soft snoring coming from her right. Looking over she found Frodo a sleep in a chair. She smiled to herself. Suddenly she could hear someone on the other side of the door. She knew they weren't a hobbit, and she knew it wasn't Strider. Hobbits did not wear shoes, and Strider had a little bit louder walk to him. The door opens to reveal a man in all gray robes.
"Hello." Miranda says to this knew person. Obviously he did not expect her to say anything because he looked quit surprised.
"Your awake so soon?" He questions.
"How long have I been out?" Miranda asks. She felt like she was out for weeks.
"You've been out for about a week." Replies the man.
"And that's soon?" Asks Miranda curious.
"We'll seeing as you were stabbed by a Morgul Blade, and straight threw I might add, you should be out for at least a couple more weeks. " Replies the man.
"Well sorry to disappoint you. So who are you any way?" Asks Miranda
"Ah. I'm Gandalf the Grey. And if you wanted to know you were healed by Lord Elrond." Replies the man named Gandalf.
"Well look who's finally up." Says a voice from her right.
"Morning Frodo." Miranda casually replies to Frodo.
"Wait till I tell the rest your up!" And with that he leaves to find the other hobbits.
"And your name is?" Asks Gandalf.
"Sorry Gandalf. I'm known as Miranda. Pleasure to meet you." Miranda replies.
"Nice to meet you to." Gandalf replies he seems to want to say something else, but the door is suddenly thrown open and four hobbits launch themselves onto the bed.
"MIRANDA!" They all shout. Even though Frodo saw her just a few minutes ago he looks like he hasn't seen her in years.
"Awwwwe. It's nice to know I'm so loved." Miranda jokes trying to get the ringing to stop in her ears.
"Sorry." They all reply again. Then they all start to speak at once.
"Why did you do that?" Was heard along with, "You worried us", "Never do that again", and "What were you thinking leaving us?"
"Hobbit's I did not leave you. Well maybe. And why shouldn't I do that again. Not that I would. And your not the boss of me." She tells the hobbits in a 'your not my mother' tone. Suddenly there is a tall man, well maybe an inch taller than Strider, who stood in the door.
"Ah! Miranda this is Lord Elrond." Gandalf replies as the man walks inside the room.
"Thank you for healing me, my lord. And thanks for putting up with these hobbits. I bet they've cleaned out your kitchen." Miranda replies
"Hey!" The hobbits yell.
Lord Elrond seems to have an amused look on his face.
"Welcome to Rivendell, my lady." He replies.
"Thanks for keeping me. And my names Miranda." Miranda replies.
"Well then. How are you feeling lady Miranda?" He asks.
"To tell you the truth. It just feels like there's this little pinch every time I turn the wrong way." Miranda replies, while demonstrating with a turn and a grimace.
"Well then don't turn then." Replies Frodo.
"Anything else?" Asks Elrond.
"Nope. So when can I get out of this bed?" Asks Miranda.
"When you've healed all the way." Was the lords reply.
Miranda stayed in bed for two more days. Then she got up on the third day.
"Yes! I'm able to leave this cursed bed!" She cries. The door suddenly opens and Elrond enters. Oh yah. He had to check her out. If he said no she had to stay in the bed.
"Good morning Lord Elrond!" Miranda greets.
"Good morning Lady Miranda." He replies. He then tries to inspect her wound. It took him a while to get her to agree. Finally he got her to lift up her shirt so he could see her wound. "It looks much better. You can leave today." He replies giving Miranda the okay she was waiting for.
"It feels better to. Oh! And Lord Elrond just call me Miranda please. Bye!" And with that Miranda leaves an amused Elrond behind to go and find her friends. She was not pleased that she had to wear a dress, but she had altered it, and now she wore it. She passed by Strider and asked if he had seen the hobbits.
"Yes, I saw then in the garden." He replies
"Thanks." Miranda replies back. Now she was wondering around the gardens looking for the hobbits. She found them talking to an older looking one.
"Miranda! Over here." Cries Pippin.
"Hey there." Miranda replies.
"Miranda this is my uncle Bilbo. Bilbo, this is Miranda." Frodo introduces.
"Pleasure to meet you 'Uncle Bilbo'." Replies Miranda
"As well as I am to meet you." Replies Bilbo.
"Lunch is almost ready. Let's go." Pippin says.
"Alright. I'm a little hungry myself." Miranda replies with laughter in her voice. The hobbits liked this voice better than her stern voice. But they still couldn't understand how she could be so happy after the ordeal she went through.
They entered the kitchens, but it was so close to lunch they told them to wait. So the hobbits led Miranda to the dinning hall. Bilbo came to like Miranda very much, even though he just met her. There weren't many people in the hall, seeing as there were a few minutes left till lunch. The only people in the dining room were Gandalf, Strider, and some elves talking to Strider. They kept calling him 'Estel'.
"We sit next to Gandalf and Strider Miranda." Says Frodo.
"Okay, so where do I sit?" Miranda asks looking around.
"With us silly." Replies Merry. And with that both Frodo and Merry drag Miranda over to the table.
"Ah, Miranda. I was wondering when we'd see you about." Says Gandalf.
"Yah, Elrond let me out today." Miranda replies to Gandalf. " Not like he could have stopped me if I wanted to leave." Miranda quietly mumbles to herself. Although she did not know of the elves supper hearing. And seeing them smirk after her mumbling fit, she put two and two together.
"The food should be served soon." Bilbo says. And a little while after he said this Elrond walked in with a group of men.
"These men are Boromir of Gondor, and some of Gondor's captains. Please welcome them to Rivendell." Elrond says. And after saying that sat at the front of the table. And as if on cue the cooks brought out the food after he sat down.
Merry and Pippin decided it was time for lunch. And they dug into the food. Everyone seemed grossed out. So Miranda decided to take matters in her own hands.
"Merry! Pippin! Stop that now! Use your manners." Miranda scolds the hobbits. They immediately stop their barbaric ways of eating.
"Miranda I must say. How did you do that?" Questions Gandalf. The hobbits were starting to get on the elves bad side because of their habits
"What? Oh! It was quit easy. Why? And what is this?" Miranda replies and questions looking to a food dish made of fruit covered in a type of sauce.
"It's quit good." Replies Frodo eating some of the said dish.
"Frodo I trust your judgment. So I'll try some." Miranda replies. And she finds that she likes the dish. So the lunch meal went by fine. Miranda found out the female elf was the one who saved her, and the other elves were Elladan, and Elrohir. Miranda loved the meal. well almost loved the meal. she had that man staring at her almost the whole time. /What is that Boromir guy's deal/Miranda questions to herself leaving the hall after she finished with lunch.
Miranda decided she needed some entertainment. And so she went looking around the 'Homely House'. she soon found she was lost. The good side, she had her adventure. The bad side the guy from lunch found her.
"Are you lost milady?" Asks Boromir.
"No. I'm just exploring. There's a difference." Miranda replies.
"And what is the difference?" Asks Boromir. He got just a little bit closer to Miranda. But it was close enough for Miranda to feel uncomfortable.
"Well when your lost you need help finding your way. When your exploring you have fun looking around your surroundings. And my lord I like to explore alone." Miranda explains and says to Boromir. He seemed to get a little mad at the last statement.
"I could milady give you a tour." Boromir says/asks. Miranda could tell he was asking her.
"I must decline my lord. If I wanted a tour I would ask someone who knew where they were going." Miranda says. Now unfortunately Miranda's mouth has gotten her in more fights than she should have been in. and this would be no exception.
"Well then. Perhaps I could get to know you better and you could get to know me better. Why don't you come to my room tonight?" Boromir questions. He had gotten to close for Miranda's liking. He had entered her personal bubble space.
"My lord I again must decline. I'm no whore for you to have fun with. And would not 'get to know you better' even if you were the last man on earth!" Miranda says to this jerk. She did not like people thinking that way about her. Unfortunately she once again got in big trouble.
"You better respect your superiors." Boromir says in a threatening voice.
"Well I did not know you were a superior. You just look like a normal asshole." Miranda replies. This last statement earned her a slap across the face. Miranda had never been hit, ever, in her life. She felt weak, and she hated it. She needed to get away from this man. She took off running towards the stables. She heard horses coming from that direction. She loved animals and they always cheered her up.
In the stables Legolas and his four friends had just entered Rivendell. They were dismounting when the one closest to the entrance saw and heard a woman coming. He looked up to see a young human woman heading towards the stables. She stopped just outside the entrance. She did not seem to notice him and his company.
"Milady. Are you alright?" He questions this young woman. She looked up to him and he saw the worst sight he had ever seen.
"I'm fine, just accidentally hit a tree." Was the woman's reply. But she said it with such sadness and hurt an elf could easily tell she was lying. And that was what caught the other elves attention. They looked over and saw the young woman's face. She had tear streaks down her face. She also had a deep cut on her cheek that looked infected. Her cheek also looked like it was bruising.
"That looks bad." Replies another elf.
"We should take her to Lord Elrond." Replies the first elf. He took the woman's hand and the group made their way to Elrond's study.
They made it to Elrond's study. He was talking to Gandalf. The group entered Elrond's study and he looked up. When he saw Miranda he immediately got up to look at her.
"What happened?" Lord Elrond questions. He took Miranda and placed her in a chair.
"She claims to have run into a tree." Replies the first elf.
"Miranda?" Elrond questions looking closer to the wound. It looked infected.
"An accident?" Miranda replies questioningly.
"I highly doubt you ran into a tree." Elrond replies going over and getting some healing herbs. "Legolas. Why are you here? I was not expecting you." Elrond says looking over to the group while also tending to Miranda.
"We came to inform you that Gollum has escaped." Replies Legolas sadly.
"Who's Gollum?" Miranda questions moving her mouth, giving Elrond a hard time.
"Miranda. Stop moving." Elrond sternly tells her. And she silently complies. "Now who did this to you?" Elrond questions. He could tell she had been hit. The bruise on her cheek, and the cut, just confirmed his suspicions.
"No one. I told you it was an accident." Miranda replies sticking to her story stubbornly. She always got into trouble because of this.
"Will everyone please leave." Elrond says to Gandalf and the group of elves. They all leave the room. "Miranda." Elrond says looking at her.
"Promise you wont tell anyone, or do anything to the person?" Miranda questions. She didn't need a man to fight her fight's.
"Alright. I promise. Now, who was it?" Elrond questions he knew Miranda. He had after all treated her before.
"It was Boromir." Miranda says quietly. Elrond looked quit surprised. He was ready to have a meeting with Boromir when Miranda reminded him he promised.
"Lord Elrond you promised." Miranda reminds. And that was the only reason Lord Elrond did not harm Boromir.
