Chapter VI


Meanwhile in Rivendell, the three girls were in the bedroom after taking their bath. Elinor and Crista were sitting on the bed, playing with the hems of their dresses' sleeves. While Elise was pacing back and fourth around the room 'trying out' her new set of feet, the other two were watching her in silence.

"Oh my goodness Elise! I'm getting dizzy! Stop it!" Crista rolled her eyes at the newly transformed hobbit.

"I-I can't! I mean just look! My feet don't really feel anything! And look, it kinda has a leathery feel you know." Elise replied as she sat down on the floor cross legged and touched the sole of her feet.

Crista just let out a huff.

After a while of silence Elinor spoke up.

"Hey guys, are we really here? I mean, we might be on drugs or something."

"Drugs? Huh, interesting. Or maybe we're dreaming" Crista mumbled.

Elise immediately stood up on the floor.

"No! We are not drugged! Just look at how real this is to be fake!" She walked over the two and plopped herself beside them and ran a hand through her now curly hair.

"And if we are dreaming, doesn't it seem weird that we're dreaming of something that Maryse should be dreaming about?"

"What do you mean?" Elinor and Crista turned their heads towards Elise.

"What I mean is that, do you remember all of the posters and nerdy stuff about Tolkien's stories that Maryse keeps in her room? I observed that some people in the posters look exactly like the ones we met here. Like Arwen."

The readhead and Elinor just gaped at her. Sure they obviously knew that but, they don't really paid too much attention to Maryse's ramblings about that nerdy stuff.

"And now that you mentioned Maryse, she's not here." Elinor concluded as she looked around.

Silence.

"OH MY GOD! WE'RE IN MARYSE'S CRAZY MIND!" Crista stood up from the bed and started to run and shout around the room like a mad woman while flailing her arms in the air.

"Calm down!" Elinor ran towards Crista and tackled her on the ground.

"Oomph!" Crista and Elinor crashed into the floor, tangled in each other's limbs.

"Are you both alright?" Elise rushed to where they were.

Crista winced as she felt some shooting pain at her left wrist. "O-o-ow. I think I sprained my wrist." She sat up and held up her hand for them to see. But when Elise was about to reach for Crista's wrist to inspect it, she suddenly felt a pang of pain also at her left wrist.

"Ugh, ow!" The female hobbit exclaimed as she cradled her wrist.

"What is happening?" Elinor inched towards them and accidentally leaned on her left hand when she suddenly also felt pain at her left wrist. "Ouch! Oh dear god! What is happening?! My wrist!" As the pain started become more and more painful for the three.

"Ahh! It hurts!" Elise cried out and tears of pain started to fall from her eyes.

"You don't say?!" Crista rolled her eyes as she held up her now swollen wrist carefully not to let it get leaned on or something. The three girls kept shouting and questioning in confusion to what the hell is happening to them when the pain from Elise and Elinor's wrists immediately subsided.

"The hell?" Elinor frowned as she examined her hand confused than she'd ever been.

"I know right." Elise said.

"Hey! How come you guys felt pain? And ow, I really twisted my wrist from our fall" Crista still holding her wrist with care and slightly glared at Elinor

"I don-" Elinor was cut off when a voice echoed throughout the room

"You girls have a connection."

Crista, Elinor, and Elise froze. Then abeautiful lady wearing all white with long hair and pointy ears and appeared in front of them.

"W-w-who are you?! Y-you're a white lady!" Crista pointed at her, forgetting all about her sprained wrist. Elise and Elinor gaped.

"I'm Galadriel, Lady of Lothlorien." She said.

"Gala what?" Elinor's eyebrows rose.

"And what connection?" Elise questioned.

"A connection between you and your friends. When one of you experiences some emotions like pain, the others also feels it, but only in a length of time." She explained.

"Ohhhhh...so that kinda...explains it." Elise mumbled as she touched her own hand.

"Coolness." Elinor bemused.

"Do you know why we're here, Galadriel?" Crista frowned.

"We summoned you here to do a great task, a task that you and your friends shall know in time."

Speaking of friends

"Wait! How about our friend? Maryse?" Elinor suddenly blurted out.

"Your friend is safe; she is under protection of a certain company." Galadriel answered.

"And you summoned us here? So that means this is all real, and that might explain the earthquake." Elise mumbled and frowned slightly.

"When will we be able to see her?"

"In time, my dear you will see, and we shall meet again soon." The Lady of Lothlorien smiled warmly at the girls before she disappeared in a flash of light.

After Galadriel left or rather disappeared, Elise, Crista, and Elinor sat there in silence.

"Guys, is it just me or when she talked, her lips didn't move, it's like she's talking to us in our minds." Elinor said.

Even before Elise and Crista could even reply, someone bursts into the room. It was a tall man also with pointy ears, long black hair and Arwen with a servant behind them.

"We heard screams earlier, did something happen?" His face full of concern

"O-oh, uhmmm...I sprained my wrist." Crista tried to stand up and held up her injured hand for him to see.

"How did you manage to have such injury?" He asked, his voice laced with both curiosity and worry as he helped her up, carefully grabbed her hand and started to examine it, causing for Crista to blush.

"Uh...we were kinda playing around?" She tried to explain, but it came out more of a question than an explanation. But the elf didn't say something; he just raised an eyebrow at the girl as he continued to look at Crista's injury.

"Get me a bandage, I'm going to wrap her wrist to prevent it from moving too much." He told the servant.

"Oh, uhm...I don't mean to be rude, but who are you?" Elise stood up and walked towards where Crista and the tall man were. Elinor followed.

"It's alright I'm Elrond, the Lord of this place." He smiled at her and his voice sounded strong yet gentle.

"So, we really are not dreaming." Elinor muttered under her breath.

Elrond raised an eyebrow. Dreaming? Why would these girls say that?

"My daughter tells me that she found you outside of our gates unconscious." He said as he got the roll of white bandage from the servant and told him to leave before he began wrapping Crista's wrist carefully.

"Daughter?" Crista, Elise, and Elinor cocked their head to the side.

"Why yes, my daughter Arwen." Elrond gestured at Arwen's direction.

"Ohh...so she's your daughter."

"Where did you come from? How did a hobbit and two female dwarves get here?"

"Let me guess, we two are the dwarves and she is the hobbit." Crista pointed out as she winced in pain a little for Elrond tightened the bandage around her wrist.

"Why yes." Elrond politely said and secured the bandage before letting it go. The redhead nodded in thanks and he also nodded back.

"We actually don't know, I mean a minute there we're in the townhouse for a vacation and then suddenly we woke up here in this...place." Elise explained to the elf.

Elrond slightly frowned as he listened to the three girl's explanation.

"Then some white beautiful lady shows up, and tells us some crazy ass shit." Crista said

"Like we have some kind of connection blah blah, and then we were summoned here to do some special assignment."

"A task actually." Elise corrected Elinor.

"Yes, a task that 'we shall know in time' and our friend Maryse is under some kind of protection. But that's okay; at least we know she's safe." Crista continued on.

After the explanation and stuff, a moment of silence followed.

"Guys, I have something." Elise said, eyebrows met in a frown.

"What is it Elise?" The girls and even the elves looked at her.

"I think we are here in Tolkien's world. But in Peter Jackson's movie version of it." She concluded for she remembered that one time when she and the girls went to Maryse's house to watch Lord of the Rings and the other time when they watched The Hobbit in the theatre.

They're kind of slow sometimes.

"How could you say that?" They continued to ask. But Elrond and Arwen just kept quiet and listened to them.

"I think I remembered watching Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit with Maryse. But the thing is, I don't know what era we are in. And I haven't really paid that much attention in watching."

"So how do we know what era?" Elinor asked. And Elise frowned, thinking of a way to know whether they're in The Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit.

"Lord Elrond." Elise faced the said elf.

"Yes?" Elrond looked down at her.

"Do you know any hobbit named Bilbo Baggins?"

"I'm sorry but no, is he also a friend of yours?" He shook his head.

"Uhmm...I think we're in The Hobbit then." Elise told Crista and Elinor, who only stared at her, still not getting what she meant. Sure, they know and watched the trilogy one time and the recent Peter Jackson movie, but then again, they don't really remember. "Because I also remembered that in LotR, Bilbo stayed here in Rivendell or something so..." Elise's voice trailed.

"Ohh...I remember somehow..." Elinor mumbled

"So...we are stuck in a fictional world..." Crista said before another moment of silence.

"Since we are already here, and the weird white lady said that we shall be meeting Maryse soon, I guess we should stay here then." Elise told them.

"Yeah I guess." Crista smiled.

"And this place doesn't seem bad at all." Elinor ran a hand through her hair and realized that her hair had become thicker.

"Well then, let me welcome you to my house my ladies." Elrond suddenly said as he held out his arms and smiled at them warmly.

"Thanks! I'm Crista and these two are Elinor and Elise" Crista introduced.

"Yes, my daughter told me." Elrond said.

Then suddenly, they heard Crista, Elise, and Elinor's stomach growl, causing for the three to blush in embarrassment.

"It seems that they're hungry ada." Arwen smiled.

"Why yes. We can't have our guests going hungry. I shall have maids bring you some food for dinner" Elrond chuckled before he and his daughter turned around and left the room.

"Y-yes." Elise muttered still blushing.

"Awesome." Elinor huffed as she plopped on the bed facing down.

"I know right." Crista sat next to her and observed the white cloth bandage around her wrist.

The three of them continued to converse as they waited for their dinner to come.
