"Welcome, To-"
"POOKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vicky screamed at the top of her lungs when she saw Haldir coming towards them. Haldir stared blankly.
"Who is this 'Pooky' you speak of?" Haldir asked
"No one!" Justine said wrapping her hands around Vicky's mouth.
"Right, as I was saying Welcome to Loth Lorien, your friend, Terrance is currently resting. If you come with me I'll show you to your rooms, where you will find new sets of clothing and if you leave your horses here, they'll be groomed and taken care of."
Justine and Vicky nodded, chasing after Haldir who was walking swiftly away. "So, how did we get here?" Justine asked after a long silence.
Haldir stopped suddenly and turned. "I'm not sure why. We believe it may have something to do with the necklace Terrance found."
Vicky and Justine stared at Haldir "What do you mean?" Vicky asked. Haldir sighed and continued walking.
"TELL US!" Justine growled.
"Patients. If you want to stay amount us, you will need to learn patients."
Vicky and Justine bowed their heads and followed Haldir, until they reached a fork on the path. Haldir gestured to the left and smiled softly. Vicky and Justine continued down the path while Haldir looked on. Soon the path turned into a hall, than two doors appeared, one on the left and the other one the right.
"I want left." Justine said.
Vicky looked at Justine "do you even want to look inside? What if one's smaller than the other."
"I want the left!" Justine said again.
Vicky shrugged and opened the door to the right, shutting it behind her. Looking around the room she saw it was quite large but comfy still. It seemed very warm and inviting. To her left there was a great bed with gold and sliver sheets covering it. Large oversized pillows were leaned against the headboard. Next to the bed was a small table with a candle on it. A little further down was a warm appealing chair with some garments throw about it. The floor was white marble with a soft pink throw rug over the middle, partly covered by the bed. To the right there was a massive bookcase, holding many books and small statues. Also to the right was a writing table that had manuscript and other materials set neatly about it. In front Vicky saw long drapes covering what seemed to be windows. She walked over to them and pushed them to one side. There was a small terrace that had a stunning view of the forest and other dwellings.
As Vicky's eyes gazed out upon the beauty, soft singing began. Although she could not understand the words, she listened blissfully unaware that someone was staring at her from behind.
"They sing of you and your kin, friends I mean." A voice spoke from behind Vicky. Vicky turned her head and saw Haldir's eyes fixed on her's. Shock overcame her as she blushed slightly. "I see you got the better of the two rooms. This one is vastly bigger than the one your friend, Justine chose."
Vicky flung her flaxen hair back, "I warned her. Dose she listen? I think not." Haldir walked past Vicky to the edge of the terrace and leaned slightly on the rail. Vicky followed slowly and rested her arms on the railing. She looked out over the view and just let it overwhelm her.
"Elves. That's what we are. But we're dying, slowly. We've been confined to this forest for so long! It's just so maddening. I can't take it! We the elves do not deserve this!" Haldir gushed out, catching Vicky off guard. Vicky stared at Haldir, his hands were shaking, so were hers.
She felt the urge to hug him, to tell him everything's okay. "Don't be stupid!" she thought "Your just a plain human! What can you do to comfort him!"
Haldir turned his head to Vicky. "Vicky, I am sorry!" he spurted out and suddenly turned to leave.
"Stop!" Vicky yelled back grabbing Haldir's hand. "I don't understand what your saying, but don't feel sorry. You've done nothing wrong." Haldir looked down at their locked hands, he sighed and raced out of the room, with the grace of any elf. Vicky sighed and walked back into the room. She let her whole body fall on the gigantic pillow of a bed. It was softer than she thought. She rolled over and stared blankly upwards. "Elves are so, so, so! Grrr"
A few moments later there was a slight knocking at the door. "Who is it?" Vicky asked
The door opened and an elf stepped forward. "Legolas wishes to speak with thee."
Vicky decided to sound proper and said: "Very well, send him in." with her most passive voice, like it was so big deal Legolas came to speak to her.
Soon the elf called Legolas came into the room, with the door shut behind him. He glanced over at Vicky, smiled and sat down at the writing table. "I'm rather fond of this room, myself." He said, obviously making small talk.
"Its nice I guess. A little bigger than I like but it sure is beautiful." Vicky said back.
"Do you like it here? In Loth Lorien?" Legolas asked, suggesting that there was more meaning in what he said.
"I like it." She said staring at the elf. "Why do you ask?"
"Victoria, their dosne't seem to be a way to get you all home. Not until this is all stopped. And that might be a long time from now. You, Justine, and Terrance are basically trapped here for a long, long time."
Vicky stared at Legolas and smiled grimly in spite of it all. "No regrets." She said already missing her family, even her annoying little sister.
"I must take leave. There will be a banquet in about an hour or so. I trust you'll be ready. The garments on the chair there is something you can wear" Legolas got up and walked towards the door. He looked back "Will you be alright?"
Vicky nodded and with that Legolas left. Vicky turned her head to the room again and saw something she missed before. There was a door on the other side of the bookcase. She opened the door and found a place to wash her hands and face.
Legolas walked swiftly down the hall and towards another door. He opened it and peered in. an elf sat down in a chair staring directly towards the bed that contained Terrance.
"She's doing better." Said the elf "but not to much has changed. Any whiter and we think her to be a ghost."
"Thank you" Legolas smiled and gestured for the elf to leave. The elf nodded her head and left.
Legolas walked almost carelessly, not very becoming of an elf, to Terrance's bedside. "De sii'!" he said. Terrance eyes snapped open. All the color raced back into her checks. She stared at Legolas. He smiled faintly and sat down on the bed. "Terrance, you must get up and get ready for the feast we are having tonight." He whispered.
Terrance looked around and slipped out of the bed and moved quietly towards the chair that contained her old attire. She looked around her room for the first time. She stood next to the door and to her left was a warm chair with a table next to it. Next to the table was another chair that had her clothes. The most left wall really seemed to be railing of well-sculpted marble with plant life growing all around it, breaking it slowly into tiny pieces. On the farthest wall from the entrance was the bed with a small table on either side. One table had large candle and the other had a small plant on it. To the right there was a door that was shut tightly.
"Terrance, to the right you'll find a door and when you go inside you will see that there is something proper you can wear along with a place to wash up." Legolas smiled lifting his body of the bed. "Now if you please" He bowed with the elegance of a great prince "I must dismiss myself for now. I will be back in an hour."
Terrance nodded and with that Legolas was gone. "What a day!" Terrance sighed sinking into one of the chairs. A few moments later she walked over to the door and gazed at it. She turned the knob and pulled, she saw a dress hanging to the right and in front of her was a place to wash up. After getting ready she walked back to one of the chairs and banged her head on the table beside her. She stared blankly at the wood pushed against her face. Suddenly she felt the pendent clang against the table, she lifted her head to see the same man clad in gray staring back at her. "You!" she said flabbergasted.
He pulled the hood off his head and smiled. His eyes were gray and his long flaxen hair hung down past his shoulders. No braids or anything in it, just long freefalling soft hair, covering his ears, but Terrance could already tell he was an elf. The way he stood there with great composure, the way his eyes danced with curiosity, the way he smiled, ever so slightly. He was different from the elves that were here, though. Like he still was a child and had much to learn, while these elves were old and knew all there was know. "Yes, me." He said. He sat down in the chair across from Terrance.
"Who… are you?" Terrance asked with curious eyes.
"I'm a lot of things." He answered back, if you really could call that an answer.
"Ahh, right.."
"Shh, don't speak" He said, leaning over the table putting his fingertips against Terrance's lips. Terrance stared helplessly. "Just look into my eyes, stare into my soul. Can you hear the crying? Feel the tears? Taste the sweat? Smell the fear?"
Terrance smacked the hand away and refused to look him in the eye. "You better go before something bad happens." She said looking the other way.
He hopped in front of Terrance's sight and smiled. "Do not worry, they can not hurt me."
"And why would I worry about a fiend like you?" she sneered back.
"Terry, don't be so stubborn." He said leaning closer to Terrance. He moved to her left side and stared directly into her eyes. She gazed back only for a second and turned her head the other way, her hair flinging in his face. He wrapped some of her hair around his finger and pulled slightly. He smelled her rosy brown hair and smiled more. "You look stunning in that dress"
"Sir." Terrance said firmly "Leave now, before you regret what you have just done."
"I'm trembling with fear." He whispered into Terrance's ear. He placed his hand on her neck and stroked it gently. Terrance got up and walked slowly backwards.
"Stop!" He said, she halted letting fear engulf her. He pranced over to her and took her into his arms. Terrance pushed him back, (but only because he let her) and suddenly tripped onto the bed. "You make this to easy!" he said running to the side of the bed and shoving his face in hers. Suddenly he looked up "Good-bye dear, dear Terrance." He said and was gone.
Terrance heaved a great sigh and got up. "What the hell was that about?" she asked, knowing no one would really answer. She walked back to the door and opened, there she found a brush and brushed her hair until it was back to its self. Her hair hung carelessly 1 inch past her shoulders. Her deep set bluely eyes flickered in the muted light.
She slouched in the chair and closed her eyes. A soft knocking came from the door and right away she knew it was Legolas. "Come in" She called
Legolas pooped his head out of the door and looked down upon Terrance. "You shouldn't sit like that." Terrance corrected her posture and gazed back at Legolas. "Come" He gestured for her to get up and take his hand. She did and he pulled her out of the chair. They smiled and walked out the door and down the hall.
