CHAPTER 2.
After three hours of getting ready, Ashley and Skye walked out of their room and headed for the stables. There they met the king who still scared the life out of both girls and Legolas who Skye seemed to be staring at.
" Are you ready?" Legolas asked Skye and Ashley.
" Yup," Ashley replied and Skye nodded her head.
Ashley looked round and saw at least four other elves in the stable who were already sitting on their horses. Not knowing what they were doing here, Ashley asked out,
" Are they coming with us?" as she pointed to the four elves.
King Thranduil nodded his head and explained to them that they needed to deliver a message to Lord Elrond from him and that there were still orcs roaming the lands.
Ashley nodded her head understandingly. She understood what the king had meant. If this world was anything like the Lord Of The Rings movie, Ashley knew that there were still orcs around.
Then the king spoke again.
" Do you know how to use a bow?" he asked the two girls.
Ashley nodded her head but Skye replied that she didn't know how to use one.
A servant from the stables gave Ashley a bow and a quiver and looked at Skye unknowingly.
The servant looked at the king with the look that said, " What should I give her?"
King Thranduil sighed. Then he looked at Skye.
Skye who was still scared of the king because of his sudden out burst took a few steps back and hid behind her older sister.
King Thranduil looked rather annoyed at Skye who was hiding behind her sister. He didn't know why she was scared to death by him. He looked at his son and saw him smirk.
Legolas smiled. Then he looked at Skye with amusement and asked her,
" Do you know any form of self protection Lady Skye?"
Skye blushed by being called a lady by Legolas and she noticed that her sister was trying to hide her laughter but failed miserably.
Skye glared at her sister before she answered Legolas' question.
" I know how to handle a sword" Skye replied to Legolas.
The servant in the stables quickly dashed to a room and took out an elven sword.
It had a Celtic design on it and it was as light as a feather.
Then she heard the king laugh. Skye glared at the king. Then she heard him speak,
" I don't believe you"
Skye glared at the king even more.
" How dare he say that?" She thought.
Ashley snorted and folded her arms.
" Believe it, she can whipped your ass anytime" Ashley said to the king.
Ashley was rather protective over her younger sister. After the death of their brother James, Ashley swore that she would look after Skye with her life. She had blamed herself for the death of her brother and to see her sister hurt was like having thousands of knives being stabbed into her heart.
The king looked at Ashley with anger. Never in his life did anyone insult him before and the penalty for that was death.
Legolas who was sensing what was happening looked at his father and said,
" Father, I believe that you have some paper work to look through"
King Thranduil looked at his son before he headed for the castle. He knew that he should leave the girls for Legolas to handle. He knew that he would lose his temper with them in less then a minute.
With that, he turned round and started to walk to the castle leaving his son and the girls behind him.
Skye looked over to her sister and mouth out " Thanks". Ashley nodded her head and also mouthed out " Your welcome"
Skye sat on her horse following her sister and the rest of the elves in front of her. She was starting to get tired and very hungry.
" Are we there yet?" Skye asked for the 57th time.
Ashley rolled her eyes.
She looked round and saw Legolas looking at Skye with interest. Unfortunately for Skye, she didn't seem to notice for she kept on complaining to the elf besides her telling him how hungry she was.
Legolas then came to a halt and got off his horse. Everyone did the same and followed him. He walked over to a clearing beside a stream and cupped up some water into his palm and splashed his face with the cold refreshing water.
Skye glared at the prince with envy. She too wanted to splash the cold water on her face but something in her mind told her not to even bother. She thought that I wouldn't look nice doing that then the prince was doing it. So instead, she just glared at prince Legolas.
Legolas who felt someone glaring at him and turned round to see Skye giving him evil looks. He knew what it meant and laughed.
He stood up and said,
" The water is not mine, have some if you wish"
Skye smiled at ran to the stream. She then filled her hands with the clear cold water and drank it. Ashley followed her sister and did the same.
After a while, one of the elves made a fire and brought some food out. They were separated into two groups around the fire. Legolas with his four companions chattering among each other and Ashley and Skye who were talking to each other.
" Ashley, what are their names again?" Skye asked her older sister.
Ashley looked confused.
" Whose name?" She replied.
Skye nodded her head to the four elves beside Legolas.
" Oh them," Ashley said realising, " I think there names are, Tharden, Glithin, Arongin and Ray"
Skye raised an eyebrow.
" Ray?" She asked flatly to her sister.
Ashley laughed.
" Okay okay, I don't know what his name is" Ashley replied.
Skye grinned at her sister.
" I'm just surprised that you know their names. I'm really impressed." Skye said to her sister.
This only caused her sister to laugh even more until the five elves were looking at her. Then she heard one of them laugh and say out in elvish,
"Llie n'vanima ar' lle atara lanneina"
All five elves laughed out loud. Skye and Ashley both raised an eyebrow. They had a feeling that these elves were making fun of them. And to make matters worst, they had no idea what the elf just said.
Ashley then heard her younger sister speak out.
" Oh yeah, I can do that too! Comme tu es bete!" Skye cursed out to the five elves. Yes including her beloved Legolas too.
The elves just looked at her in awe and Ashley grinned. She knew that she sister had said. She said that they were idiots.
Then one of the over elves spoke out,
" Dolle naa lost" the other elf said to Skye.
The elves burst out with laughter leaving Skye glaring daggers at them. Ashley shifted her weight around. She didn't know what these elves were saying and it bothered her greatly.
Skye became red with anger. Then Ashley saw Skye smile and knew that she was up to something.
Then she heard Skye say out,
"Auta miqula orqu!"
The elves gasp out in shock. They did not know that this lady could speak elvish. And what she said was very rude indeed.
Skye looked at the horror stricken faces of the elves and grinned like a mad woman. There was a moment of silence and Ashley was starting to get annoyed. They knew something that she didn't. Then she heard Legolas speak.
" Do you know elvish Lady Skye?" Legolas asked Skye still dazed by what she had said.
Ashley stood there confused.
" Nope," Skye said promptly.
This just confused Legolas and the elves even more. Not to mention Ashley too.
Legolas' eyes widened.
" Then how did you know?" He asked her again.
Skye grinned evilly.
Shaking her head, she spoke out,
" I'm not telling you"
Ashley who had just enough asked Skye what was going on in French.
" What did you say to them?" Ashley asked.
Skye grinned madly.
" Oh nothing," She replied, " I just told them to go kiss an orc in elvish"
Ashley laughed out. She now knew why all the elves looked shocked. But one thing bothered her. Since when did Skye learn how to speak elvish.
" I didn't know that you could speak elvish" Ashley told her sister.
" I don't" came the reply.
" But then, how did you know?" Ashley asked.
" Oh that, I got it off the Internet." Skye replied.
Ashley rolled her eyes. Trust Skye to get stuff like the over the Internet.
" But what surprises me most is that they understood," Skye said pointing at the elves, " I thought that the person who wrote it just made it up. Crap, I wish I paid more attention to it."
" Why?" Ashley asked her sister.
" So that I could say more stuff to them in elvish"
Ashley giggled. Then she saw her sister lost in thought.
" What is it?" Ashley asked.
Skye turned round to face her sister and replied,
" You know, if we do go back into our world, I think that I should thank the person who wrote those words in elvish"
Ashley laughed. Her sister could be so funny sometimes. Looking back at the elves, she knew that they were trying to figure out how Skye managed to speak elvish and what they were speaking about in French.
Ashley sighed. For some reason, she found this all very funny.
Then she heard Legolas speaking to the elves and saw that he was carrying a worried look.
" What is it?" Ashley asked Legolas.
" Dina" Legolas replied.
" Huh?" Ashley said looking confused. Then she realised that he was speaking to her in elvish.
After realising what he said. Legolas looked at Ashley again and told her to be silent in English.
To Skye and Ashley's surprise, they heard footsteps coming near their campsite, and then heard a horrible noise.
Before they could react, a pack of orcs jumped at them and surprised the living day lights out of Ashley and Skye.
Ashley heard her sister scream and saw an orc trying to fight her sister. Before Ashley knew it, she took out her bow and shot an arrow at the orc's chest straight in the heart.
Legolas and the rest of the elves fought the orcs and Ashley and Skye did the same.
Skye took out her sword and started to attack some orcs but to her surprise, one of them managed to take the sword out of her grasp leaving her helpless.
Skye heard someone telling her to watch out but she wasn't really paying attention. Right now, the only thing that was real to her was the orc right in front of her.
The orc dropped Skye's sword of the ground and took out one of his daggers.
The orc was about to strike and Skye closed her eyes but then opened it when she realised that the orc didn't kill her yet. Instead, she saw Legolas fighting the orc. She saw Legolas fall to the ground and picked up her sword, then he swung the sword at the orc's head and chopped its head off.
Skye screamed as the orc's head fell towards her feet. Skye started to back away from the head until she found that she was already against a tree.
Skye then realised that all the orcs were killed.
// Thank God //
Legolas and Ashley walked towards Skye. Ashley asked if Skye was all right but to her surprise, Skye screamed out,
" HOW THE HELL COULD I BE ALRIGHT. THE ORC'S HEAD GOT CHOPPED OFF IN FRONT OF MY EYES. I'M GONNA HAVE NIGHTMARES FOR WEEKS NOW!"
Skye sighed and Ashley hugged her sister, whispering to her that everything would be all right.
Skye got up and so did Ashley. They started to pack their things up and heard one of the elves talking about the attack about the orcs. Skye cringed at the thought of the orcs and glared at the elf that asked her about her fight with the orc.
" How the hell can I think about that now when I nearly got killed? You know what I need, I need a little distance, no more talking about those damn orcs and 15 HOURS OF PUBLIC TELIVISION!"
Everyone stared at her. Then Skye heard her sister whisper in her ear,
" Sis, they don't have T.V. here"
Skye sighed.
" Plus Legolas saved your life. You should thank him"
