Chapter 8
I sat up, remembering where I was and gasped. I turned around, just to make sure it wasn't a dream. There was Elelas lying on the bed asleep.
I got up and walked down the hall, and pushed opened the door where Vodia was. Her and Legolas were lying in the bed; their hair, cloths and sheets were all messed up. I laughed, and shut the door. I closed it quietly and turned around.
I screamed, and someone put their hand over my mouth. It was Elelas, he was standing right behind me, he laughed as he put his hand down.
"You scared me." I said in a giggling voice.
"Oh so now I'm scary?" He said, I could see his sense of humor peeking out. He kissed my forehead and put his arm around my waist, and we started down the hall. But we didn't get half way before we were startled by a noise out side. We both flung around, and stopped. Looking at each other, we started toward Vodia's room, trying to be quite, even though the voices were far away.
"Wake up," I whispered in a worried voice, standing over Vodia.
"What time is it!?!" she screamed as she jumped up.
I stuck my hand over her mouth then she realized what we were doing, and shook Legolas till he woke up. They looked hung over.
"Did you get into the wine?" I said sounding like my mother.
"Well you know just like one bottle," Legolas sat up and rubbed his head, "or you know like four."
"Damn." Elelas said. "Why didn't you give us any?"
We all giggled. Then the voices came again.
"Did you find them yet?!?" we heard someone scream.
Elelas looked at me, "Guards" we both said at the same time.
We dragged the two drunkys out of the bed, and out of the palace. We were running. We got far enough away, that we had to part. We kissed them goodbye. We didn't want to part, but we had to. We turned and ran.
We stopped at our practice spot.
"You're a mess!" I said to Vodia. Her hair was down, and her dress was falling off her shoulders. I didn't look much better. We put our hair up, and fixed the dresses just to the point where they could last long enough for us to get upstairs into our rooms.
We decided to climb the balcony, so we could get dressed before we got yelled at.
We climbed up, and changed, then we went downstairs, ready to face our doom.
"Oh thank heavens!" my mom rushed over to us and squeezed us tight.
"Where were you?" Vodias mother asked.
"We got lost while walking in the woods, and so we had to stay the night at an abandoned palace." It wasn't lying, it just wasn't the whole truth.
"Thank goodness your ok," my mother said, "but I'm sorry girls, you are on house arrest until Saturday." She said this calmly, and went up to bed, she had a terrible night, we could tell. Vodias mom followed. Im surprised they were so easy on us.
That's when it hit us, no woods meant we wouldn't be able to go see Elelas and Legolas! We wondered what they told their parents.
