Chapter Five

"Today, we are going to see how are wonderful little juniors do against the big scary seniors," Glorfindel told us, pointing to the seniors who stood across the room from us. "Fencing, archery and then we will see what we have time for."

"Fuck," I muttered to Legolas and Katherine. "We're all going to die."

"Fuck is right," Legolas replied and Katherine nodded empathetically.

Glorfindel went down the list, pairing us up with the seniors. "Amriell, Haldir," he said. At last, I thought. Oh wait a second, Haldir? Haldir goes here? Haldir was a childhood friend of mine, our parents were good friends. I should have remembered, I was almost heart broken when Haldir went off to school here.

"So, I see that Amri has finally decided to come to Rivendell," Haldir joked, using my nickname. The one only he used. I saw Legolas glare at Haldir, Legolas now might have competition. I have to say, Legolas can get really protective. But, I can take care of myself.

"I didn't decide. Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn decided for me, after – after my family was killed," I said, kicking out at the hurt that tried to push all those unshed tears out of my eyes.

"They what?" he yelped as we walked downstairs.

"Yrch killed my family," I said, starting to lapse back into my native language.

"Oh, I'm sorry," he said, looking slightly downcast.

"Don't be," I told him, touching his shoulder. "I'm glad that you care, but tears and sadness will not bring them back, nothing will."

We were both silent until we reached the courts. "Please don't tell me you can still beat me, like you always did back in Lothlorien," Haldir said, drawing his sword.

"I sure don't know," I muttered. In Lorien, I beat Haldir about two out of three times; he beat me at archery two out of three times though. It took us ten minutes of fencing, hard, until I twisted my sword around his and flicked his sword of his grasp, sending it flying. "Ha," I muttered, wiping sweat off of my forehead.

"You're still good, I just can't win," Haldir muttered.

"Don't worry 'bout it, you're a better archer," I replied. Next we went to the archery range, Haldir beat me, no surprise.

At the end of the period, Haldir told me which room he was in, in case I ever wanted to stop by and say "hi."

I watched his retreating back, and shook my head. As a little girl, I had absolutely adored Haldir, no denying it. I would follow him and my brother around; they both liked me and didn't mind at all. It turned out that my crush had faded, I loved Legolas, there was no denying it. I shook my head again and ran to history.
