Chapter Six: The Mysterious Voice Gets A Big Surprise
Olga and Helga were found by a seething mad Thranduil later that evening in a deserted room. When the girls saw him they immediately began apologizing, but Thranduil held up a hand for silence.
"Come with me." He said, his voice dangerously quiet. The sisters followed, dismayed. The king led them past the hall, where elves were still trying to clean up the horrible mess. Then, he walked down a hallway and opened a door that revealed a rather pretty room with two four-poster beds. "Stay here until I can think of what I'll do with you." The king said, massaging his temples, thinking longingly of Advil. The girls flopped onto the beds as the door was closed.
"What are we going to do now?" asked Olga. 'If you only hadn't dropped your fork…"
"Hey, I wasn't the one who knocked Legolas unconscious." Said Helga.
"Well, if you hadn't skewered the boar I never would have knocked him out." Said Olga, sticking her tongue out.
"At least I didn't drag the tablecloth for ten feet." Shot back Helga.
"Heyyyyyy Girrlllssssss……" said a voice suddenly.
"Who's that?" asked Olga.
"Don't worry, it's just the Mysterious Voice again. I thought you weren't going to bother us for another eight days." Said Helga.
"Yeah well, I got bored. Anywaysssss……I have that little favor you have to do for me…." Continued the voice.
"Go on. Our lives can't get any worse." Said Olga.
"The king has something I want…" said the Mysterious Voice.
"Oh now we're not stealing from the king. I thought we couldn't get in any more trouble, but I guess now we can." Said Helga.
"But you said you'd do it, or no more pretty. Think of how the king and Legolas would treat you then." Said the Voice. The girls pouted and looked at each other.
"Fine." They said in unison.
"Good. Now, the king has four crystal balls that I want. He keeps them in his room, which is down the third hallway from the banquet hall and the last door at the end of the hallway. Two big wooden doors. Can't miss 'em. Now, they're inside a locked cabinet. Here's the key.." an ornate silver key appeared in midair, "and just open up the cabinet and bring the balls back here. Then you'll receive further instructions." Helga hesitantly took the key that was hanging suspended in the air. "Okay then. Bye!!" said the Voice. The Voice was actually surprised the girls agreed. **That's where the big surprise part comes in! ^_^**
"Well, let's get started." Said Olga.
