ch.4

"Nurta," I told Legolas.hideI stood in the shadows as my friends walked by grumbling about how cold it was outside. Kirby cleared his throat and I stepped out behind them.

"Turn around," I whispered softly.

"Kara?"

"Yes, it's me I have a lot of explaining to do," I said as my friends hugged me,"I'm not exactly dead, you see, I am an Elf an right now my, I should say ours, come out Legolas, people of Middle Earth are in danger and I need you to help us help them-"

"Oh, I knew it!" said Ashley, I will come, but, what's the catch?"

"Well, that's the problem... you see, you might die in battle and you will be leaving this place behind forever..."

"I'm coming!" was her answer to the threat.

"All of us are," said Naomi. As they walked over to the portal Legolas had opened Ashley whispered to me,"Nice catch!" I giggled. My friend Brittany went through and April, Louisa, and Emma Moen, too. Three others not wanting to be left out, Krystle, Karlee, and Kara stepped by me and into the portal.

"Aren't you coming Kirby?" I asked as I turned to him.

"Yes, I suppose I would have to huh?" he said looking nervously at the portal.

"It's not going to hurt," Legolas said soothingly, it convinced him go go through and we went after we exchanged words, "Are you sure of this, Nimroth?"

"Umhum, Elrond prctically told me to do this!"

"Well, if you say so..."

"YES! I say so!" and I walked throught the portal.

Elrond was waiting for us with some servants and candles, it was dark already.

"Why do you all look so amazed?" he asked, "Surly Nimroth has told you why you are here?"

"No, she hasn't," said Krystal disapprovingly.

"Well, I was going to wait until council tomorrow, lord. May I go and see the Halfling? Please?"

"Of course, my child."

"Will you not join me, Legolas?"

"No, I'm going to go to bed."

"Alright."

A few Elves took the mortals off to their own rooms.
