Author's Note: Fools! Sorry I took forever to update, I have been working. But I'm here now with some yummy pie and I have just finished Soul Eater, so it's writing time!
In response to Emma D (Guest) question: "Would you be offended if I wrote a story somewhat similar to this?"
No, I would not be. However, if you take idea's straight from my story be sure to mention where they came from. If you come up with your own then, well that's exactly what it is. Yours. So now, let your creative nature flow forth.
Disclaimer: I don't own any part of the Hobbit, or the incredible world Tolkien created. I do, however, own Ridley and Ava.
Reviews welcome!
Ridley's rare white eyes gazed at the panoramic view before her; she smiled lightly as she watched the waters gush from the water falls, soaring down to the crystal clear lake below. Ridley sighed and fell forward, her elbows hitting her knees and her face forming into a pout.
The young half breed was bored and alone, no one to speak to, for her elder cousin was sound asleep while Ridley's own eyes remained wide open, vigilant, and begged for excitement. The red-head let out a sigh and gazed sadly at the perfect water before her.
"Is something the matter?" a masculine voice spoke up, sending Ridley's head whirling to her left, surprise was stuck on her face.
Kili laughed at her lost expression, "Sorry, I did not mean to frighten you." He smiled as he walked up before her.
"I did not hear you," Ridley said, regaining composure. "The waters are too loud." She proclaimed, jerking her head in the direction of the lovely falls.
"They are," Kili agreed, "Do you mind if I join you?"
"Not at all," Ridley smiled down at the young dwarf prince, her white eyes slowly examining him, a smile playing on her lips. Ridley would never disagree that she found her new found friend attractive. She loved his deep brown eyes and the handsome stubble that covered his face. His dark brown hair was wild and yet, strangely made him look even better.
"What are you thinking of, Ridley?" Kili asked, his head slightly cocked to the side.
"I was thinking of how lovely it would be to go for a swim," Ridley covered up her gazing quickly, "Would you like to join me, Master Dwarf?" Ridley smirked in a playful manor.
Kili's smirk met her own, "How do you plan to do that with the lake all the way down there?" Kili asked as he motioned to the hundred foot drop into the lake below from their spot on the balcony.
"What?" Ridley asked in a teasing tone, "Do you not trust me?" she said as she jumped from the railing, landing beside him, a cat like grin plastered on her face as she took a step towards the dwarf.
"Well, I don't know that much about you," the dwarf shot back just as playful as the beauty next to him.
"Well," Ridley said as she tucked some hair behind her ear, "Coming swimming with me and I'll tell you anything and everything you wish to know," and with that the young girl jumped onto the balcony, stripping her long flowing sleeves for better swimming abilities.
"I'll take you up on that," Kili said, stripping his heavy coat, tossing in into a pile next to Ridley detachable sleeves. The agile dwarf threw himself atop the railing, landing elegantly next to the small woman.
"Ready?" she asked, holding out her hand to the handsome dwarf prince.
"Ready," Kili confirmed taking Ridley's small hand in his. Ridley grinned and yanked him towards her; Kili grunted in surprise but could say nothing on the matter, for, in that moment and Ridley threw them both of the railing. Wind engulfed the pair, Kili could hear nothing through the roar of the wind and he plummeted towards the warm waters below. Kili squeezed his eyes shut, causing Ridley's bell-like laughter to fill his ears.
"Do not worry my friend," her voice stood out amongst the harsh winds. Kili felt his body suddenly jerk to the right, causing him to crack open his deep brown eyes. All Kili could see of the young woman holding him was the side profile of her bright, smiling face. The eye that he could see was sparkling with joy. Her fiery red hair flew back as she rocketed from cliff to cliff, slowly bouncing down the crystalline waters below.
Ridley's bell like laughter filled Kili's ear, the joy in it would have made anyone smile, it was so innocent, like a child having forbidden fun. In the back of his mind, Kili registered it as somewhat of a forbidden thing to do, his Uncle, no doubt, would disapprove, and was not too sure how the Elven Lord would react with his daughter, of sorts, swimming with a dwarf.
"Woo," Ridley giggled as they reached the bottom of the falls, bare feet touching the cool rock. Ridley circled, her eyes taking in the beauty of the falls from a whole other view point, one she had never seen before.
"Ada would think it improper to be down here," she smiled like a rebellious teenager.
Kili chuckled, "Somehow I cannot see you care whether you a proper or not."
Ridley smiled sheepishly, "Yes, well, I've never been one to stick to the rules. The life of a proper woman is rather boring. Staying at home while men go on grand adventures, see the world. I have never wanted to be that kind of woman."
"Is that why you and Ava left?" Kili asked.
"Partially," Ridley mumbled as she dropped down on the rock, crossing her legs together and falling on to her back, gazing at the stars. Kili dropped down beside her, his head turned towards hers, watching her look at the stars.
"What is the whole reason, my Lady?"
Ridley absentmindedly rubbed the barely noticeable puncture wounds on her stomach, she did not answer for a long while. In fact, the young Dwarf was about to apologize when she spoke up.
"I saw someone I loved die, and another friend I cared about horribly injured. I will not give you a sob story," a ghost of a smile appeared on the red-heads lips.
"But I did not want to live life thinking that everything was safe. I wanted to become strong so that the next time one of my friends is in danger, I can help them, save them. I will not let another loved one fall when I can help." Ridley said in a strong voice.
"That is why you threw yourself in front of Ava when the warg attacked." Kili stated.
"Yes."
"That is very brave of you," Kili smiled. "You are a selfless, amazing woman."
Ridley turned her head towards Kili, her eyes sparkled as she softly smiled, "Thank you."
"However," the girl grinned evilly, "Your kind words shall not save you from the swim I was promised!" and with those words, Kili was shoved into the water.
Ridley laughed a genuine laugh, her face held a brilliant as she backed up on the rock and ran towards the edge again, she jumped into the air cutting a flip before she dove head first into the water, barely making a sound as she entered the warming waters next to an amused looking Kili.
They surfaced together, both laughing like small children. Ridley playfully splashed at Kili, causing is mouth to drop open in mock shot. "Come here you!" Kili grinned as he began to chase Ridley.
The half-dragon let out a squeal and began to swim away from the Dwarf Prince, however, Ridley had never been a good swimmer and Kili caught up to her easily, wrapping his strong arms around her waist and spinning her so that she faced him.
Kili's eyes gazed down at the woman in his arms gently, her mouth hung open slightly and she panted and her eyes were large, gazing back up at him in a very innocent manor. Strands of her cherry red fire red hair hung in her face.
Kili chuckled softly before moving the dripping curls away from Ridley's flawless face. Ridley smiled up at Kili, the dwarf found his heart racing as he caressed the beauties cheek with his rough hand. Ridley leaned into it, her large bambi eyes drawing him in.
The two people, both from extraordinarily different words, (so to speak), found themselves moving closer and closer to each other, until Ridley's lips, as soft as a rose's petals, Kili noted, met his own cool, slightly chapped lips in a passionate lips.
Ridley's small arms wrapped around Kili's neck, her hands playing with his hair as their feet kicked gently, keeping the couple afloat in the warm, crystal blue waters of Rivendell.
A top a large, grey unbalance stone laid a girl. Her once lively eyes were closed, her long lashes touching her tear stained cheeks. The girl's hair that was once silky and shone with brilliance was not a dull, tangled head spread about the girl in a careless manor.
"What happened to her," Ava found herself saying as she kneeled down beside the girl in the emerald dress. Ava smoothed out the dresses silk train, her eyes moving up the lovely dress.
"She could not do what she was assigned." Ridley's voice came through.
Ava looked up at her little cousin. Ridley stood up perfectly straight, her white eyes glazed over as she stared straight ahead, out into the dark woods. The ruffles in her black dress rose and fell in the wind, leaves stuck to the bottom on the black lace that drug the ground, but Ridley did not seem to notice.
"What was she assigned?" Ava asked slowly.
Ridley stayed frozen for a while, her gaze still distant, Ava was about to give up on her cousin, who was acting so strange, and help make the poor girl look better in her death when Ridley responded.
"She was the Guardian of the Earth, but under her watch a sickness grew over the land, evil has penetrated it, and thus, her." Ridley folded her hand behind her back.
"So she failed to protect the land." Ava stated.
"Yes, and her failure ended in Death." With that, Ridley turned on her heel wand walked off into the dark forest, vanishing from sight.
"Ridley?" Ava called urgently; she shuffled to her feet and dashed away from the deceased woman, casing the ghost of the cousin who was practically her sister.
"Ridley!" she cried, dashing through the decaying words, tripping up on rotting longs, jagged rocks. Dying braches rakes her skin as she dashed through the forest, stumbling and tripping as she went.
"Ridley!" the girl cried again in utter desperation.
"Yes, failure?" Ridley voice asked in Ava's ear before Ridley plunged her sword deep into Ava's chest.
"R-Ridley?" blood dripped from Ava's mouth as her cousin let her fall forward.
"Go now," the red head poke. "Let the spirits you failed take you."
Shadows emerged from the darkness, speeding through up to Ava. They sliced through her, causing her to scream and cry.
"Ava."
"Ava."
"Ava! Wake up!" strong hands gripped the thrashing girl, shaking her out of her nightmare.
Ava panted heavily, tears rolled down her eyes uncontrollably as she clutched her chest where her cousin's sword had been.
"Ava are you alright?" a calm, caring voice spoke in the girls ear. Ava nodded her head but did not say a word as Fili pulled her to him, his hand gently whipping the tears from her leaking eyes.
"Are you sure?" Fili asked calmly as she brushed some of her matted hair behind her ears. Ava stiffed and breathed heavily a few times before she dried her eyes and ran her hands through her damp hair.
"Yes, Fili. It was just a nightmare, nothing I cannot handle." She said, regaining a hold on her emotions.
"I am sure, my Lady." Fili smiled gently.
Ava nodded as she threw herself back down on the pillow. "I am sorry that I woke you, Ridley says I tend to be noisy in my sleep."
"You did not wake me. I was already up, I have no idea as to where my brother and your cousin have gone."
"Ridley is probably getting him into trouble," Ava tried to laugh genuinely, but it caught in her throat as she remembered her cousin in her dream.
"Oh, my Lady, Kili can find that on his own," Fili chuckled.
"Somehow I think you find it with him," Ava smiled.
"That is possible." Fili smiled
Ava yawned and Fili smiled.
"Get back to sleep, we have an early start tomorrow. I'll wake you if you seem agitated."
Ava nodded, "Thank you," she muttered before she lay her head on her pillow, feeling a whole lot safer knowing the dwarf price would watch out for her.
