**Hey people blah blah blah, you know the drill. I do not own Legolas or the mention of Kind Thranduil or Elrond... but I do own the rest!! Anyhoo! Onto the next chapter...**
Chapter 5
BOOM!!
Amanda sat straight up in her makeshift bed. Damn it. Why can't I sleep? She asked herself silently. Geeze, the storms on earth are nothing compared to these storms. The thunder here is horrible!
She looked at her watch, it was only 1 in the morning. She had been sleeping for a grand total of... 1 hour. Time goes so slow here. She thought silently to herself. To ease her weariness, she got up and went over to her bag. She opened up her laptop case and brought it out. She walked over to the farthest corner in the cave and sat down so she wouldn't bother the sleeping elves. What she didn't know, was that a pair of elven eyes was watching her.
She sat down and put the Sims in the computer. She jumped as a flash of lightning filled the cave, and it shook her bones as the thunder rolled through the skies. She looked around and wondered what had gotten her into this mess. Oh yeah, it was wonderful Lestan. She mused. He brought me here and now that I'm here he's completely ignoring me. She sighed as the Sims start menu came up on the screen.
"Couldn't sleep?" A voice came from the darkness, making Amanda jump. She squinted as she tried to look at the figure that was approaching her.
"Oh, Legolas. No I couldn't sleep at all." She said glumly.
"Ah, I know how you feel. I have a thing with thunder storms also. They're too bloody loud. I need quiet when I sleep. Which is hard when I bring Jonciven with me on my journeys, his snoring almost blocks out the thunder," he laughed.
Amanda laughed with him. With a smile she looked up at him. "So you came here to bother then O High Prince of Mirkwood?"
"No, just to talk. If you do not mind." He said. He gestured to the hard floor next to Amanda. "Mind if I sit with you?"
"No not at all. It's my cave just as much as it is yours," she laughed.
He chuckled and sat next to her. "Ah, I see you are messing with that evil contraption again."
"Legolas, it is not evil. You people are just not used to these types of things, they aren't that bad. Sometimes they are, but not now they aren't." She said.
"Yes, I know. Mind if I ask you what you are doing?" He asked again.
"No Legolas, I do not mind. Stop asking if I mind, I don't care what you do." She smiled. "Okay?"
"Alright."
"Well, now to answer your question. I'm playing the Sims." She explained.
"Ah, yes.... What is the Sims?" he asked as he looked at the computer screen. "Ai! Ai! There are little people in your computer! Let them free!" He reached for the computer and screamed something about how Legolas will save them.
"Hey hey hey. It's just a computer game, you can make up FAKE families or just single people and you can control their lives. You can make them do whatever you want." Amanda explained.
"Ah, it sounds a bit inhumane." Said Legolas.
Amanda laughed. "No, the people aren't real Legolas. They are just little things on the computer. There isn't really little people in there."
"Aye, I agree. They don't look real. And they are wearing the same odd clothing you are wearing." He said.
Amanda raised an eyebrow, "Well Legolas, my dear, where I come from, wearing tight leggings and a tunic isn't really normal either."
"Obviously. But now, explain to me more about these Sims." He said.
"Well...."
2 hours later........
"Look! Look! The baby has turned into a child. Thank the gods! That child was horrible. It would never stay quiet!" Legolas said excitedly.
Amanda was sorry she had shown Legolas how to control the Sims. He was going crazy with the little people. He was making them do anything and everything. And he was getting a little too excited over the littlest things.
Amanda looked at the giddy elf. This was Legolas Greenleaf. The same Legolas Greenleaf as was in the movie she had just seen a couple of days ago. This is so surreal. She thought silently to herself. What if...?
"Legolas? Why exactly are you traveling to Rivendell?" She asked.
"I was sent as a messenger by my father. He would like me to seat council at Lord Elrond's meeting." He said.
Amanda gulped. "Um... Legolas, do you know exactly why the meeting is being held?"
"Uh, yes, I think. I think I remember my father mentioning that they have found the ring of power. Or they think they do. I do not remember which." Legolas said and went back to the Sims.
"Legolas," she closed the computer screen down on his hands, "stop for a couple of minutes. Can I ask you some questions?"
"Only if I can ask one first, my lady." He said.
"Uh, sure. Shoot." She said.
"Excuse me? Shoot?" Legolas asked.
"I mean, go on," she said.
"Ah, ok. Ok but what I want to know is if you have feelings for my younger brother." Legolas asked calmly.
Amanda was caught off guard by this question. She didn't know what to say.
"N-n-now why would you think that?"
"Well I have seen the way that he was looking at you during dinner. And I was just wondering if you shared feelings." Legolas said. "But of course I could be completely wrong and maybe he could have just been looking at you in a weird way."
"Well-I-I-I," Amanda stammered, "I don't know."
"Ah. I would just like you to know that you couldn't get involved with him. My father wants pure blood elves in the family. He would never allow a marriage with a human." Legolas said.
"Legolas what the hell are you talking about?! I'm NOT getting married to your brother, don't worry! There is no chance. We just met and it's just not possible. We aren't in a fanfiction here! HELLO! This is real life. I'm not just a girl who gets transported into Middle-Earth and falls in love with a beautiful blond elf, in most cases it's you in the stories, then marries that elf a couple of days after they meet. It just doesn't happen that way. I know winding up in Middle-Earth is weird in itself, but just that whole falling in love after 2 days just doesn't-" Amanda was cut off.
"Lady, please, keep your voice down. You mustn't wake the others." Legolas warned.
Amanda looked at Legolas, then let out a deep breath, "Oh I'm sorry, I'm over reacting for no reason whatsoever. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I shouldn't have said that marriage thing, now that I think about it I know it is a little farfetched. I'm sorry." Legolas apologized.
"It's okay. I guess I'm just tired, so I'm cranky." Amanda said. It was now around 3 in the morning and Amanda was about to fall asleep.
"Yes, well the storm has stopped. I'm off to bed now," said Legolas. "Good night my lady. And I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions."
"Legolas, it's okay." She assured him. She watched him walk back to his bed and waited until she heard his heavy breathing. Amanda looked over the sleeping forms and jumped when she saw Durian staring at her. No, no he wasn't staring at her, he was just sleeping. She remembered reading that elves slept with their eyes open.
Once she was sure that everyone was sleeping. She pulled out a disk and opened up a file on it. She sat there and added in the days events onto the disk.
...Well I know the reason for Legolas' trip to Rivendell. Middle-Earth is replaying the book... and I know exactly what is going to happen...
