Okay guys, so I decided instead of going in little sections of POV's, I'm going to do one chapter of each character's mission. (Example: Just one chapter containing what Kalley, and Haldir are doing.) I hope this makes sense. Also I would like to announce that this story has gotten over 1,500 views! Thanks guys! And also a big thanks to all of my reviewers! I hope you guys like this chapter, so here's Chapter 14 in "So What Happened?" Enjoy, and REVIEW!
Chapter 14: What the Haldir?
Kalley POV
"Haldir?" I questioned, "What are you doing here?"
I was stunned, why would he be here? He didn't really even want us in Lorien, so why would he be here?
"You left your necklace." He told me, smiling, and placing it in my hand.
I looked up at him surprised, thanking him a million times. This had been my mother's necklace, and she had given it to me for my birthday.
"Thank you, Haldir, you don't know how special this necklace is to me." I said, in gratitude of his service.
I tried to put the necklace on, but I couldn't get the chain secured in the back, Haldir saw that I was struggling.
"Here, let me assist you with that." He said, coming up behind me.
I pulled my hair over to one shoulder, and Haldir put the chain in the right position. I put my hair back into its regular place, and smiled at Haldir.
"Thank you, again." I told him.
"You are very welcome." He said, looking up at me, "Where is the rest of the Fellowship?"
I frowned, looking at the dirt on the floor, "I don't know, we were attacked by Uruk Hai, and they drew me deep into the forest." I said looking back at the place where I last saw my friends, "Then I called out for them, but they were gone."
"That is ill-fated indeed." He said, "Do you have any idea where they might have gone?"
"No, I don't, they talked about going into some marshes, but Frodo left on his own with Wynter." I said, remembering my last moments with them.
"Oh, well you need to come back to Lorien with me." He said, I looked at him with confusion swept across my face.
"Why, I can go find my friends, they will be worried sick about me!" I exclaimed, I barely knew Haldir, and he was already making decisions for me?
"No we cannot risk that, there still could be orcs roaming near, we better leave now while we have the chance." He said, looking around the forest to check for orcs, "Yes we should go now."
He started to walk away, and then he realized that I wasn't following.
"Milady Kalley, please hurry, we cannot become ambushed by orcs, we will be outnumbered!" He declared, looking at me in disbelief.
"You better hurry, because you could be ambushed by orcs, you will be outnumbered." I said justly, "I am not going with you."
Haldir looked at me, and then picked me up. I thrashed, and kicked in his arms, swaying, and almost falling.
"Let go of me!" I yelled, panting, and breathing hard.
"Only if you decide to come to Lorien, and not run away." He said, struggling to get me under control.
"Fine!" I reluctantly answered, I glared at Haldir, and he just chuckled, "What's so funny?"
He just smiled, and we continued walking. I was wondering about my friends, how were they? Then it hit me, what about my family? I started to think of mt mom, and looked at my necklace, then my dad. He was probably so sad, his little girl was gone. A single tear rolled on my cheek, and wiped it off, and sniffed.
"What is the matter, Lady Kalley?" Haldir asked, noticing that had shed some tears.
"I miss my family, and my friends." I said thinking of them, and recalling the good times that we had together.
Haldir looked at me, and put his arm around me, "I miss my family too, but sometimes, everyone has to give up something to make their lives better, you know, to have a "happy ending"." He said, I pondered on that statement for a while.
"I never thought of it that way!" I beamed at Haldir, "Thanks." I said looking at him once again.
"So what is your family like?" He asked me, this was going to be a long answer, but I gave him the prize of a short summary.
'Well I have a twin brother, Kaden, and then a younger brother Kolten, and they can get pretty crazy sometimes, and my parents, well, I don't know how to describe them, but they're great." I admitted, smiling, and chuckling.
"Two brothers, I know what you mean my brothers do not get any better either, Rúmil, and Orophin are their names." He said, grinning, "You will know who they are when you meet them."
I laughed, I had a good idea of how they would be, probably like my brothers, maybe. My mind wandered off for a bit, and then it came to a tricky question, so I asked Haldir.
"Hey, Haldir, why did you come all this way to give me my necklace back anyway?" I asked, being a little hesitant.
"Well, I had a feeling that it was of great value to you." He said, we stopped, and he looked right at me, "And, I felt like you needed it."
I looked back at him, with a happy expression, "And you were correct, if I didn't find this, I would probably be really sad, because its all I have left of home." I said, thinking about home.
It was starting to get dark, as we approached Lorien. I saw the bright blue lights in the distance, and saw Haldir smile.
"Lorien." He said, "We are here." He said, looking at me.
We ran the distance to Lorien, and met two male elves, they seemed mischievous, so I guessed they were Haldir's brothers.
"Haldir?" One of them asked, "Where have you been?"
"Remember the necklace that I had found, well, I belonged to one of the Fellowship, and here she is." He said introducing me to the elves, "Kalley, meet Rúmil, and Orophin, my brothers."
"It's nice to meet you." I said shaking hands with each of them.
"Nice to make your acquaintance, Lady Kalley." Orophin said.
"Just call me Kalley." I said smiling.
"Well I assume that it has been a log day of walking for you two, so you should be getting to bed!" Rúmil said.
I totally agreed with him, I felt as if I walked another step that my feet would fall off! I wearily agreed, and followed Haldir to my sleeping quarters.
"Here is where you will sleep while you are here." Haldir said, "Quel, kaima."
"What?" I asked, he had spoken in his different language.
"Sleep well." He laughed.
"Okay you too, Haldir." I said smiling.
Okay so you guys FINALLY found out what Haldir as doing. So did you like this format instead of the bunch of POV's? Tell me what you think. Onto reviews! GoldenStarlight, Thanks for the review! I hope that you liked this chapter too! Lauren, Haha, no he didn't come for Zoe, but that would be cool. Also I checked out your story, and it's AWESOME! I love it! And I love the name Lauren too! Dancing-Chesnut, First off, thanks for the review! I will try to make sure that Grace isn't a Mary-Sue in the next chapter, and I will make Zoe do a little less screaming (probably a LOT less) I will try to make my characters more realistic too, and fix my comma problem. I'm glad that you liked the cliffhanger in the last chapter, and I'm glad you like this story! Manwathiel-Nanethiel, I'm glad you like that Kalley is with Haldir, and I will probably try to do some of Zoe annoying an Uruk Hai. Thanks for reading, and don't forget to REVIEW!
