Chapter 13

Chloe's POV

-several days later-

We had been riding for a few days more in total silence. We had not been attacked again or even stumbled across anyone. You can only imagine how boring it was! But that's just the way old leggy liked it, every time we'd try to speak he'd threaten us, such a great guy isn't he?

" We are almost there, you will be on your best behaviour." , ugh, why does this guy piss me off so much just by being alive? let alone talking. "Am I making myself clear?", he said in a stern voice. "Fucking crystal." I replied, he did not reply but if looks could kill I'd be deader than a dodo in dead land right now. Elise silently pleaded me to behave, I took the hint and nodded. I guess I could behave... for a while.

As our horses trotted into Rivindell, I started to feel uneasy, like I was being watched, I shook it off and continued forwards. The horses came to an abrupt stop in front of an elf, its creepy how similar he looked to the Elrond in the films. This can't possibly be real, can it? There were a few female elves milling around, naturally each and every one of them gave me a disapproving scowl. Stupid elves, don't they know not to judge a book by it's cover?

An average looking elf with sandy blonde hair helped me down from my horse, "Thanks" , he didn't reply, he looked liked he was trying to hold in his disgust, fucking great. "Nice to meet you TOO." I said sarcastically, he seemed sheepish but didn't reply. Well my self esteem is just skyrocketing on this trip! To be fair I needed a shower but I suppose that would have to wait.

It seemed Elrond had other plans, "Please, you must be exhausted after your journey, the elves that helped you off your horses will show you to your rooms, where you may freshen up." Then he looked pointedly at me and said "In your rooms you will find a change of clothes, perhaps more suitable than what you have on.", I swear one more remark and I will cut a bitch.

I followed Tyfal, otherwise known as horse douche to my room, goddamn this place is big, and I'm apparently no where near the others as they all went in the opposite direction, greeeeeeaaaat. He stopped by a heavy looking door and pushed it open, he gestured for me to walk inside and followed me once I was in. "You can go away now." I said to him, "I have been asked to prepare a bath for you." He replied, oh OF COURSE he has, "Hurry it up then, I don't have all day", I sat on the bed and read until he was finished faffing around.

"Your bath is ready." He said, "Okay thanks now go away.", if he was going to be a dick then so was I. He took my not-so-subtle hint and left. Finally I could wash! I went into the bathroom to see the most perfect looking bath, there were so many bubbles and it smelt amazing. I removed my clothes and hesitantly put my foot in the water, the temperature was perfect so I got straight in. There was something that vaguely resembled a razor so I decided to see if it was indeed what I thought it was, it was! After I'd finished shaving I washed my hair and my body, I was absolutely filthy! Ugh Remind me never to go that long without a shower or bath again!

I started to feel drowsy and drifted off. I'm not sure how long I was out but I was awoken by someone knocking on the door, "Chloe it is time for our meeting with Elrond!" shouted Legolas, aw shit. "I'm not quite ready yet, I remember the way I'll see you there." I replied. I heard him walk away so I assume he got my message. I hurried up out of the bath and dried myself off, I put on the clothes the elves had left out for me, there was a long beautiful flowing emerald dress with gold embroidery on it, I put it on it was figure hugging but flattering. Say what you want about them but these elves have got style! I quickly brushed my hair and applied a little make up, why is my hair wavy? But its naturally straight! My hair was in wavy ringlets and my spots were gone? What is happening? Realizing this was no time to ponder I left the room in a hurry.

Crap. I think it was this way. Aw damn, I wish I'd asked Legolas to wait! Okay um don't panic, I'm sure it was this way. I ambled along for a while before finally I found the room, the second I walked in the talking stopped. A few of the people, Legolas included, were looking at me funny, what did I do now? I saw Elise waving at me and went to sit down by her. "You look nice" she said, "You're one to talk , you look adorable!" I replied.

"If everyone will settle down, I would like to begin the meeting." said Elrond, ugh I'm going to be so bored...
