Chapter Eleven

A month at camp had passed, a very fun month for that matter. We went back to school, what a drag. Everything was as boring as normal, with the exception of an occasional reunion of the "campies." Meaning everyone at the camp. Haldir came occasionally. We played some of the camp games; mainly spin the bottle and truth or dare.

"Truth or dare," I asked Estel.

"Dare," he said casually.

I thought for a moment, what should I do? I glanced at Arwen and smiled. I had managed to listen in on Arwen's conversations and learned that she adored Estel and I managed to pry until Estel admitted that he liked Arwen. Yet, neither of them had asked each other out, how annoying. "Ask Arwen on a date," I said, pleased with myself.

Estel stared at me for a little, a dumb bunny look on his face. He shook his head and turned to Arwen, "will you go on a date with me?"

"Yeah," Arwen said.

The look on Estel's face turned from doubtfulness to disbelief. "What?"

"I said, "yeah.' I'll go out with you," Arwen replied.

"THAT'S GREAT!" Estel exclaimed. "I mean, uh, cool." Everyone cracked up, it was hilarious. "Okay. Legolas, truth or dare."

"I'll take truth," Legolas said.

Estel thought for a bit and then said, "Have you slept with Amriell yet?"

"Hey!" I squeaked. "A bit on the personal side do ya think?"

"Good question," Éomer said and high fived Estel.

"Amriell, you're bright red," Denera hissed in my ear.

"NO!" Legolas said.

"Are you sure?" Faramir demanded.

"Positive!" I said, cutting in. "I can verify."

"Okay, Faramir, truth or dare," Legolas said.

"Dare," Faramir said.

"Find Katherine and kiss her. We all get to come along," Legolas said grinning evilly.

"Kiss my brother's girlfriend? And get kicked in the balls by her? Are you serious?" Faramir demanded.

Legolas nodded. "It's all part of the fun."

"Me having a vital organ damaged is fun?" Faramir demanded.

"Since when were nuts a "vital" organ?" Éowyn asked.

"To all guys they are," Niphredil said.

"I was joking Faramir," Legolas said, laughing hysterically.

"That was SO not funny!" he said and all of us started laughing.

"Yes it was," Carmen said.

"The real dare is… I don't have a dare. You're off the hook," Legolas said, still cracking up.

This continued for a while, ending with Denera turning bright red, Niphredil hiccupping, Arwen and Estel kissing (part of our great amusement), Carmen, Legolas, Faramir, Éowyn and I not being able to stop laughing, Boromir and Éomer making rude jokes (part of Denera's embarrassment), me stopping laughing long enough only to slap them (some of the jokes were about me), and the hobbits going off to find something to eat.

"Hey, I'm back," I said, pushing the door open.

"Hi, how was it?" Katherine asked.

"The reunion?" I asked.

"No, the date," she replied.

"Okay I guess," I replied, putting my stuff down.

"What brings you back so late?" she asked, it was after 1:00 AM.

"Nothing," I replied.

"Did you make love with him?" she asked and giggled.

"Katherine!" I protested.

"You did!" Katherine squealed, Denera and Carmen weren't even here.

"I did no such thing! Do you think that after what I did I'd even want to? Are you going to assume that eveytime I come in late, it wasn't just because we took a long walk and that I slept with him? I don't plan on sleeping with anyone anytime soon! I don't think I ever told you about the last time I had sex with someone! He raped me! I didn't want it, I wasn't paid, I didn't offer my body! My body was violated by another elf and I do not want to have sex again!" I yelled. "You aren't that narrow minded are you?"

"Amriell, I-I-I" Katherine stuttered and then turned away.

I hurt her and should have apologized, but I was too upset for that. I sat and brushed my hair for a while, and Arwen came in, things were getting better between us. "Hey, what's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing," I said sadly.

"Something is wrong though," Arwen said, approaching me cautiously and putting a hand on my shoulder. "Will you tell me?"

I slammed my brush down and whirled around, shrugging Arwen's hand off my shoulder, "Will you stop prying? You and everyone else! I can't have a secret now days can I?" I said.

"I'm sorry for caring!" Arwen snapped.

I turned around and ran out. I eventually made my way to the field. I sat down in the middle of it and curled up, hoping for good weather.

***

I made my way to Legolas' rooms, it was around noon. "How much do I have to pay to get laid Amriell?" a boy I barely knew asked me, grabbing my arm. I think he was senior.

"What do you mean?" I demanded, struggling out of his hold.

"We all know you're a whore. Why don't you come out and admit it? At least Niphredil was nice enough to tell us. Half the school knows anyway," he replied and a couple of his friends voiced agreement.

"I am not a whore!" I said loudly and ran. I nearly ran into Arwen, she was walking down the hall. "Why did you tell?" I asked, I was close to tears.

"Tell what?" she demanded.

"You know what I'm talking about!" I shrieked. "That 'secret!'"

"Oh. That, I didn't tell anyone," Arwen said.

"Then how come it's not a secret anymore?"

"I must have let it slip," Arwen said. "To Niphredil. I'm sorry, I really, really am."

There was sincerity in her voice, something I over looked. "Like HELL you are!" I whispered and ran past her.

***

I sat on Legolas' bed, he was taking a shower. I looked under it, I don't know what possessed me, and pulled out a brown paper bag and a bottle of something. I stood and opened the bag and plunged my hand in, pulling out a few pills and a bundle of weed. I looked at the bottle, beer. I trembled with fear, what was Legolas doing with these?

"Amriell?" I heard a soft voice behind me ask.

"What are these?" I demanded, turning around and shoving them into Legolas' chest. "What in hell are these? Why do you even fucking have them?"

"Amriell I-" Legolas began but I cut him off.

"This is the exact reason I left Lorien!" I said. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Amriell I-" Legolas said again. I turned to the door, starting to walk away. "Amriell, wait!"

I turned and stared into his beautiful blues eyes. "It's over, Legolas," I whispered, shaking my head slightly. "It's over."

With that I ran, my world was crashing down around me, everything. I stopped in one of the quiet side hallways, catching my breath. "Who can you go to?" I asked myself. I couldn't go to Katherine, not after the fight last night. Denera and Carmen wouldn't understand. I couldn't go to Arwen, she was part of this web of problems. I couldn't go to Legolas, I just couldn't. "Haldir," I whispered. "It has to be Haldir."

I took me twenty minutes to find his room. I knocked on the door. "Hold on," I heard him call. The door opened a crack and Haldir looked at me. "Amriell?"

"Can I come in?" I asked. "I need to talk to someone."

He let me in and I immediately sat down on his bed, my energy practically drained. I told him everything; it just spilled out of my mouth. I told him about my drug addiction, prostitution, rape, fight, and what happened. "And so, that means I'm here," I said.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier Amriell?" Haldir asked quietly, sitting next to me.

"I was so ashamed!" I cried and felt the tears I thought I had lost forever well up in my eyes. "And the memories, all the memories, hurt so much!" with those words I burst out into tears.

Haldir hesitantly put his arms around me and kissed my forehead, acting just like a brother, the brother I had lost. And so I cried. I cried for my family. I cried for Katherine. I cried for Legolas. I cried for Denera. I cried for Carmen. I cried for Arwen. And most of all, I cried for myself.

I don't know how long I cried, and how long Haldir held me in his arms and whispered soothing words and stroked my hair, trying to comfort me. I eventually stopped crying, and fell asleep, oblivious that I was still in Haldir's room.
