**Hey everyone, thanks for reviewing. Sorry it took so long to get another chapter up. But now it's up. And it's nice and long... R&R!! Thankz!**
**Chapter 13**
Throughout the next couple of days, Amanda continued to study the books. Only getting paged once in awhile by Legolas or Durian just to annoy her. They kept her informed of the progress of the fellowship. They were just now nearing the bottom of the Caradhras. Now, she was only waiting to get an IM from one of them asking her if they should go into Moria or not.
Her time in Rivendell was getting boring. She spent most of her time in the library with Elrohiol. She had become quick friends with the elf. She could definitely tell that he was cousins with Legolas and Durian, for he shared the same courtesy and humor that they had. It seemed that all the Greenleafs had one thing in common... they all had the unimaginable beauty and light. She was about to sign offline when she saw, for the first time ever since she arrived in Middle-Earth, one of her friends signed onling.
"Oh my God!" Amanda exclaimed. She immediately clicked on her friends name and sent a message.
Amanda: OMG! Tiffany! How are you?!
Tiffany: Hello ::echo:: I'm fine I guess. Why are you so excited?
Amanda: Well I haven't talked to you in weeks!
Tiffany: ...? Amanda, I just saw you a couple of hours ago at school.
Amanda: Oh, yeah. Sorry I forgot! ::slaps forehead::
Tiffany: So how are you doing?
Amanda: I'm fine, nothing too special is going on with my life now... nothing interesting at least ::coughcough::
Tiffany: I'm going to ignore that cough... mmk?
Amanda: you really should
Tiffany: I am. So did you do your algebra homework yet?
Amanda: No, I don't exactly have my books right now. It's also too confusing
Tiffany: haha I know
Amanda: That Mr. Janco guy scares the shit outta me
Tiffany: I know, me too. I think he's a child molester haha
Amanda: LoL! Yeah I think so
Tiffany: hey, I got to go now, my annoying asshole brother needs to get on
Amanda: it seems everyone in the world has that problem
Tiffany: of course
Amanda: wait, what time and day is it?
Tiffany: it's 2:10 on October the 14... did you forget or something? Haha
Amanda: no, I was just making sure... well bye
Tiffany: bye
Amanda signed off and turned off the computer. She got up to meet Elrohiol in the library. She was spending a lot of time with him. He reminded her so much of Durian, so being around him kind of made up for Durian's absence.
She left the room and started walking down the hall towards the library. She waved to the familiar servants she saw. But she stopped when she heard the sounds of two people screaming. She walked around the corner and spotted Hanicel and Jonciven standing there fighting.
"You cannot go Hanicel!" Jonciven yelled at his friend.
"That little brat insulted me and I'm not going to take it! He needs to be taught a very important lesson!" Hanicel yelled in return.
"Yes, he does, but let it not be your place to teach him. Do you know the punishment for killing royalty in Mirkwood?" Jonciven asked.
"Yes, but no one would find out that it was me if no one told them." Hanicel pressured. "And you wouldn't accuse me. Would you... `friend'?"
"I would if I had to!" Jonciven returned.
"Yes, and if I find out that you plan on telling anyone about my hopes of killing the price, I will kill you too!" Hanicel threatened.
Amanda gasped, killing a prince of Mirkwood. She knew that Hanicel severely hated Durian. Could it be him that he targeted? She turned away from the screaming elves and ran right into another elf. She screamed.
"Shut up!" The elf said loudly. He pulled her out of view from Hanicel and Jonciven. "I'll have to play horrible music if you don't stop screaming!"
Amanda looked at him and tried to restrain herself from laughing. He was obviously an elf, but he looked more like a hobbit. He was tall, but instead of long, shiny, healthy hair. He had a dirty little mop of greasy gray curls on top of his head. His mouth was too big and he also had small beady little eyes. He looked possessed, like a madman.
"Uh, yeah... Sure." Said Amanda. "Whatever, just get the fuck off of me." She pulled at his deformed arm, trying to get him to let go of her.
He had a even crazier look in his eyes now, "Are you doing you work properly? Do you need help? Why must you people never ask for help when we all know you need it!"
"Wh-what the hell are you talking about?" Amanda asked.
"Where is it? Let me see your completed work." The strange elf demanded.
"You're fucking psycho! I didn't do any work, get off me!" She screamed. Amanda kicked him hard in the shin, trying to get him to let of her arm. But he ignored it and kept his sickening hold on her arm.
"You must do your work!! Your work is not finished!" He screamed again.
"LET GO!"
"You will let go of the Lady, Sir." Said a voice from behind her.
Amanda turned around to face this person. She smiled when she saw Lestan standing there with an arrow pointed at the crazy elf's head.
"Hello Lestan, can you please get this crazy psycho son of a bitch off of me?" Amanda asked him.
"I'll try my lady," Lestan said, "now I repeat, let her go. I don't want to explain to Lord Elrond why there's blood all over his hallway."
The crazy elf looked sharply at Amanda, he let go of her arm and walked away.
Amanda sighed. "Thank you Lestan, you're a life saver. That guy was crazy." They started walking down the hall towards the library.
"Yes, every city has its village idiot... unfortunately Rivendell was not skipped." Lestan said. They laughed walking. "Where are you going my lady?"
"I was going to meet Elrohiol in the library." Amanda told him.
"Ah, Rivendell has an excellent library." Lestan told her.
"Yeah, it's nice and big." Amanda said. "So who was that guy anyhow?"
Lestan laughed again, "Well, his name is Jancas, he's the Rivendell idiot, troublemaker, smartass, and definite madman. He believes that he is still subbing for the Elven teacher that died last year. When the teacher died, he took over the class."
"What happened?" Amanda asked.
"Well, lets just say it didn't go too well. He began pressuring the children, and also threatening them if they didn't do their work properly. Lord Elrond was frightened for the children's sanity. So they let him go... and he still thinks that he's the teacher." Lestan frowned. He was in the class that Jancas taught... he was scarred for life after that. He shuddered at the thought of the madman hovering over him asking him where his work was.
"Ouch," said Amanda, "that sucks. But unfortunately, it sounds completely familiar. It sounds exactly like my teacher at school... well also a sub. He scared the shit out of me... actually his name is Mr. Janco... I wonder if they're related." They both laughed.
"I do not think so. Jancas may be mad, but he's still an elf." Lestan said.
"Yeah I know." Said Amanda.
"So how have you been faring my lady? I have not spoken with you in a long while." Said Lestan.
"Yes, too long. Well, I guess I should tell you that I'm fine, but I just saw something that quite disturbed me." Amanda said.
"Oh really? What is it?" Asked a concerned Lestan.
"Nothing important. Don't worry about it. Soo... how are you doing?" Asked Amanda.
"I'm very well indeed. I'll be heading out on a journey soon." He told her.
"Where are you going?" Amanda asked.
"Well, I do not really know. My cousin and I are going to explore the unknown wastelands of Middle-Earth. We're hoping to discover something." He said.
"Ohh, sound like fun." Amanda said smiling. They continued walking down the hall until they reached the library.
Lestan stopped and looked at Amanda. "One more question my lady. I was just wondering... how do you feel about durian putting himself in danger because of you?"
Amanda narrowed her eyes and stared at him, "What are you talking about putting himself in danger because of me?"
"Well he didn't want you to feel guilty so he didn't want to tell you. But... the reason was because he thought that you were beginning to have feelings for Legolas, and he just wanted to show you that he was just as good a warrior as Legolas. So... that's the reason why he joined the fellowship." Lestan told her.
Amanda laughed sarcastically, "Yeah, grrreat. So the reason the books are fucked up is because of me! Great! Just fucking great!"
"I don't know about any books being `fucked' up. But I'm sure that is the reason, he told me himself." Lestan informed her. "He wanted to prove himself to you. Well, I'll let you go not. Good bye my lady."
Amanda looked at him dazed and nodded in return, she walked into the library. She spotted Elrohiol sitting by himself in the corner, she walked over to him and sat down. She was still dazed from what Lestan just told her.
Elrohiol noticed the distraught appearance of the earthling, he raised an amused eyebrow and said, "I'm guessing that Lestan just told you why Durian went with the fellowship."
Amanda nodded and looked at him, "Did you know all along?" she asked quietly.
"No, no. I did not know until just an hour ago when Lestan told me too." He answered.
Amanda sighed. "God, if I knew... I wouldn't have let him go." She tilted her head back and leaned her chair into the wall.
"But he didn't want you to know. He didn't want you to be displeased with him." Elrohiol told her.
Amanda looked up at him again. "Well then I guess I shouldn't be mad. So, have you learned anymore about that `evil contraption'?" She asked him, gesturing to the laptop sitting on the table in front of him.
"Well I have read through the instruction manual and I have learned a lot. Thank you for setting up the `America Online' for me." He laughed, "Now it should be called `Middle-Earth Online'!"
Amanda laughed loudly. An elf from the opposite corner sushed her. "Please, children... `tis a library!" He exclaimed.
"Sorry," they whispered, and laughed again.
"Are you signed on now?" Amanda asked him.
"Yes."
"Can I check to see if someone's on?" Amanda asked him.
"Sure."
Amanda typed in her friend Alicia's screenname and checked to see if she was online. Amanda almost started screaming when she was on. Today was a good day for her.
Amanda: Good Afternoon!
Alicia: What are you talking about? It's 2 in the morning!
Amanda: Oh yeah, sorry.
Alicia: So what are you doing now?
Amanda: I'm just at the library
Alicia: At 2 in the morning?
Amanda: yes
Amanda: I MEAN NO! no no, of course not. I am NOT at the library.
Alicia: uh huh. Sure
Amanda: I'm not... so drop it. What are you doing up now?
Alicia: Oh, I couldn't sleep, so I started reading `The Fellowship of the Ring'
Amanda: LoL
"She's reading WHAT?" Elrohiol demanded. "Why does she have a book about the fellowship?"
"Nothing, don't worry about it." Amanda told him quickly. "Can you give me a moment please?"
"I never worry," he said under his breath as he walked away.
Alicia: what's so funny?
Amanda: I don't know. So where are you at?
Alicia: um... the part on the Caradhras
Amanda: Ah, when Legolas goes to find the sun... right?
Alicia: Legolas?
Amanda: yeah...
Alicia: um... no, in the book Durian goes to find the sun
Amanda: Alicia? There isn't any Durian in the books
Alicia: uh... yeah there is Amanda, didn't you read the books?
Amanda: he's not in the movie
Alicia: yeah he is
Amanda: ::bangs head on computer screen:: oh shhhiiiiit
Alicia: why?
Amanda: Alicia, he's not in the books
Alicia: hes he is
Amanda: no
Alicia: yes
Amanda: NO! HE CAN'T!
Alicia: What's wrong with you?
*Amanda has signed off*
Alicia: What the hell?
Amanda ran through the halls of Rivendell towards her room. She had to see the book. Last time she read it, it was fine! "No... no... this isn't right! I couldn't have changed the books. It's not possible." She said to herself as she ran up the stairs.
A shrill screeching noise filled the air. She stopped dead in her tracks and yelped. It was her MIN. She reached into her sack and pulled it out. "Oh shit! Why me?!" She screamed as she looked at the message.
Durian: Sorry for bothering you. But we have one question. Moria, or no?
