Standard disclaimer: I own myself and veborion - that's it!
Stuck In The Middle With You
"So tell me," I began, "Mr I have lived in this forest for over 2000 years and don't you think I should know my way around by now Veborion, how come we're LOST?!"
Veborion ignored my words and continued to drag me through the forest.
"Come on! I know we're lost! We've passed that flippin' tree FOUR times!"
"WE. ARE. NOT. LOST." Veborion stated through gritted teeth.
"YES WE ARE!"
"No we are not."
"YES WE ARE!"
"NO WE ARE NOT!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES! YES! YES!"
"NO! NO! NO!"
"YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!"
"NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!"
"YES TIMES INFINITY!"
In answer, Veborion just glared.

We ended up sitting and waiting. Hopefully someone, or something would find us sooner or later. And I think both of us were praying for sooner. It was still raining and by now most of the forest floor seemed to be made up of little streams. From the knees down I was covered in mud.
Veborion had not spoken since I had insisted we were lost. I actually found myself feeling sorry for him. Well, I was until he opened his mouth.
"This is all your fault."
"My fault?" Yet again the elf seemed determined to blame his misfortune on me.
"Your fault."
"Fine. Whatever." By now I just couldn't be bothered to argue with him. Then an idea occurred to me. "Y'know this IS all my fault."
Veborion grunted in response. I continued.
"I actually feel sorry for you. Stuck out here in the rain, with only me for company, instead of inside the Palace, warm and dry..." I tailed off, risking a glance in his direction. My speech seemed to be working. "If I was you I'd just leave me here. It's not as if I'll last long out here now will I?"
Veborion seemed to consider this.
"You know you should just go. Go on, just go. I'll be fine. Honest. Go on. I'm sure the spiders will get me sooner or later, and even if they don't, well, lets be honest, it's not as if I'll be sticking around here for much longer now will I?"
After an age Veborion finally answered. "You are right. I will leave you to your fate. Goodbye." And with that he vanished! Yippee! I thought. Free at last!
I started walking in the opposite direction to the way Veborion had gone. This time I was aiming for Gondor. All I had to do was get out of the forest. No problem, I thought.
Idiot.

Good grief! I'm childish aren't I? Well, just think how much you'd like to be in that situation then? Hmm? You all know the drill by now! R&R for more! And I welcome suggestions...
