1 Chapter 11- Ever
I am hoping to get to 40 reviews, because that would be cool, so anyone who feels a need to review will be loved, and I will r+r ppl who review my story if they say they want me to in a review *hint* love y'all, and to Alcarin, 'Hakuna Matata'....No worries! I'd also love to know who y'all reckon Ali should get with?! I will listen to requests and questions, and answer them asap! My email is in my bio, and thanks to everyone who actually bothers to read this!
Ali groaned. She was in a wood. She sat up, alert, maybe she was back in Mirkwood?! Then she looked around. Nothing except trees in sight, darnit! She sat on a nearby tree stump and thought 'I should have brought a compass. But that's no good, I don't know which way I should be going!' She said calmly to the nearest bush. Which rustled, scaring her half into running. 'Ooh, this is soooooooo not gonna be fun' she remarked. 'But I suppose I should get moving.' And she started walking, firmly forwards, her penknife in one pocket, a chocolate bar in the other.
Two days later, she was still walking.
Tired, cold, slightly damp from the rain, and in a very bad mood, she sat down under a nearby tree for lunch. She was sick of chocolate, and almost out of water. It was getting serious, but at least she hadn't seen any Orcs. She knew they existed, and if she met even one, she was in trouble. As she thought this, the inevitable happened. A huge growl from behind her, warned of an enemy approach. She turned, dropping her food and fumbling for her knife.
A dog stood about 2 metres away, and it was BIG. She finally had the knife out. She waved the knife menacingly, and growled right back at it. It cocked its head, looking at her. She growled, and barked at it. It sat down. "Good dog..." She tried. It wagged its tail slightly. "Who's a clever dog then? Come here, come on, good girl..." She cooed at it. It moved towards her. It was brown, and half-starved by the looks of it. She carefully offered the half-eaten chocolate to it. It grabbed at it and the snack disappeared into the large mouth. The tail wagged very fast, and Ali thought she'd been adopted. Well, at least the dog might protect her. And putting her rucksack on her back, she began walking again.
"Halt, stranger...Lady Alcarin?!" An alarmed elf dropped from the tree in front of her. The dog growled. Alcarin had decided to call her Elaine; it was a pretty name, from her world, and all round good. She vaguely recognised him from Serenthase, and was so tired now that standing was bad. He bowed. "My Lady, The Prince and Eros have been frantic! May I assist you back to your quarters?" She nodded, right before she did something she'd never ever done in her life before. She fainted.
When she awoke she was on horseback, moving at a swift pace towards the city. The guard had her firmly held in place, and her first thought was 'Oh God, I am really going to have to learn to ride properly!" They were drawing up before the palace now, and the guard (called Versonwe) sent the first servant to find Eros or Legolas, and the second, to get Nerei to aid her mistress to her quarters.
Soon, Ali was being led to her nice comfy bed and falling asleep. She dimly thought she heard voices arguing at the door, but was too tired to make them out. She heard Nerei telling Elaine to get out, then the patter or feet as the dog came over to her bed, then the warm relaxing weight against her feet and legs.
(While Ali was asleep, from a general POV)
Nerei answered the door to find a frantic Prince and his best friend begging for news of Alcarin, her mistress. She was stubborn, and however much they begged and bullied, she would not let them in. "While she is asleep then you may not enter, my Lords. Only the healers have been allowed to enter, and they only because necessary. Shh, My Lords, no more argument. I will send for you when she is better, or asks for you." They agreed, left, each much relieved.
