Note: Um..review, read, usual. (Again, nothing to do with Lord of the
Rings and i mean NOTHING, don't own anyone, blah blah blah...don't sue me.)
Ch.6- Attempt
***
It was the night before the coronation. Everyone was getting prepared, even Audra, now that she had awakened. Audra, was no longer possesed, she explained only things that she remembered like that night when she encountered the shadow to everyone and apologized for any wrong-doings. Though she wasn't going to be back to normal for long...
"Mother these dresses are so beautiful! But must we wear these heavy cloaks?" asked Audra as she held out a large red velvet cloak trimmed with white.
"Yes love, you must, it is required." said Queen Meridian's kind voice.
"Is everyone going to be there? All of the kingdoms?" asked Estelle.
"Why of course, it is a very big event, now I want you girls to go down to the dining hall to practice your walk again, go on now." Meridian gestured her daughters out and they followed her to the dining hall. When they walked through the hallways, Estelle saw Legolas walking on the opposite side and yelled out his name.
"Legolas!" Estelle yelled across the hall, Legolas turned and smiled. "Come and watch us practice!" yelled Estelle.
"Actually, I'm kind of busy right now, I'm really sorry, I have to do something, I'll see you tonight at the banquet though!" Legolas yelled back.
"All right then, I'll wait!" Estelle replied and turned back to following her mother. They stopped at the top of the wide stairs leading down to the dining hall and Meridian showed them the walk once again as she had done many times that afternoon and the day before.
"Now girls, I want you to try it again, Audra you first." Audra stood up straight and held her head high trying to keep her head up, she had one hand on the rail and one holding her dress slightly, she tried not to trip and managed to walk down successfully.
"All right, very well done dear! You'll be brilliant tomorrow!" said Meridian with a smile. "Ok then Estelle, you next." Estelle tried to keep her head up and put her hand on the rail and held her dress slightly, she then walked down as her sister did.
*Oh, this is so hard! I don't want to trip, Audra does this so easily!* thought Estelle. Estelle reached the last step and almost tripped, but she managed to straighten herself up.
"You two will be so wonderful tomorrow! I can't wait! Come on, lets do this one last time to make sure." said Meridian. Estelle and Audra climbed up the steps again and Audra was about to walk down but heard a voice...
"I will be back...don't you worry my dear..." hissed a dark raspy voice.
"Estelle?"
"What?"
"Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
"Oh, well nevermind..probably just hearing things.."
"Come on now Audra, you don't want to keep the guests waiting tomorrow if you take this long!" stated her mother. Audra then started to walk down and walked over to her mother. Estelle then followed and made it without tripping.
"All right girls, lets go wash up for the banquet!" Meridian lead her daughters to their rooms and helped them prepare and wash up. This banquet was as important as the one that was to be held for the coronation tomorrow, this banquet was like Christmas Eve to Christmas Day.

Legolas meanwhile, was outside in the gardens looking for something..
"All of these flowers are beautiful, I must pick one...something special..." Legolas was walking through when he thought he heard something behind a large vine covered bush. He walked over slowly and tried to hear what was going on...
"My Essence, you have to help me...I have to go back to that girl.., what was her name? Oh yes, Audra..." hissed a dark voice. Legolas leaned in to listen more closely. "I need a body desperately, I'm weakening......what? You smell a body?" the shadow started to make sniffing sounds and Legolas backed away, he panicked and started to run. He wanted to tell Estelle what was going on but was stopped, as he turned the corner the shadow stood before him.
"So...you have been listening in my private conversation with Essence?" said the shadow.
"What do you want?" Legolas tried to act up. "What are you going to do to Audra?!"
"Oh...well why should YOU worry? You're more interested with that sister of hers...Estelle, aren't you?" the shadow said in a dark sly voice.
"What do you know of Estelle and I? What are you doing here?" asked Legolas sternly.
"I know a lot of things, like...why Audra was acting that particular way about a week ago...and why she started to like you and reacted to jealosy..." said the shadow.
"What did you do to her?" Legolas was getting mad. "Why did you do it?!"
"Well, I have to live, don't I? I needed a body, she seemed nice enough, I 'borrowed' her the night before her father's return, wasn't that difficult really...say...you know I don't mind 'borrowing' male bodies...you look mighty healthy..." the shadow started to move towards Legolas. Legolas started to run and tried to find a way towards the castle, he was close to the entrance, he could see the walls of the castle. The shadow stopped him.
"What do you want from me?!"
"That's quite similiar to what Audra said when I wanted to 'borrow' her..." Legolas turned the otherway and headed for the castle, he reached the castle doors and ran into several people in the halls, he wanted to find Estelle, he wanted to warn her and everybody else.

I know it was pretty hasty to have Audra wake up so soon but its the end of that...all I want is for you ppl to read it and review.
