Chapter 2
~All of a sudden she found herself in a stampede of people.
"What is going on?" she asked an elf running past her
"We are running."
"From what?" She asked the faceless elf
"We are running."
"I don't understand!" She yelled
"We are running.help us."
"FROM WHAT! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU RUNNING FROM???"
The elf grabbed her arm, looked at her with the fear in her widened eyes, and said "they're coming." and then everything swooshed, and blew up.~
"Help! Help!" she shouted and she heard voices.
"Vallinoria? Wake up, it is me, Lurenia"
Vallinoria opened her eyes sweating and panting. "Oh, what happened?"
"Legolas told us that you passed out cold."
"Oh.I just.I cant remember anything."
"It is ok, just sit back and relax, don't worry about a thing." Lurenia insisted.
"Wait.where is Legolas?" She sat up
"Oh, he is in the other room.he seemed really worried about you, I could have sworn that I saw tears in his eyes, but nobody will believe me," she said smiling, "I will go tell him that you are awake." she walked out of the room.
"Gosh, Lurenia sure is acting childish." Vallinoria said to herself. She sat back and tried to remember what had happened before she passed out. "Damn, I can't remember what had happened!" She said out of frustration.
Legolas walked into the room.
"Vallinoria?" He said coming closer, staring at her as if he hadn't eaten in days and thought she was food.
"I can't remember what happened? Why and how did I pass out?" she asked.
Legolas blushed. He remembered what had happened. He was almost blaming it on himself and didn't want to tell her. "Ummm.well, don't you remember? We had been taking a walk and then you passed out, right out of nowhere when we were about to go back because you felt nervous."
"Oh, well I can almost remember."
"Please, you need your rest, Lurenia told me to make my visit brief."
"Well, I don't think I need anymore rest, I can't go to sleep anyway. I would like to get up now."
"Alright then, I will go ask Lurenia if it is ok for you to get out of bed." Legolas walked out of the room. About ten minutes later he returned.
"She says it is alright, but you need to get out very slowly."
"Umm.ok then." As Vallinoria started to get out and on to her feet, she tripped, and Legolas caught her, and their eyes met. Vallinoria just stood there, in his arms, and felt safe again. She suddenly remembered all that had happened the night before when she has passed out. To break the strange awkwardness she felt, she tried to say something.
"So.did I miss anything last night after I passed out?"
"Nothing important." He replied.
Vallinoria looked at Legolas as he turned away. He looked like he had descended from heaven right then, then he caught her looking at him, and their eyes met, this time it did not feel awkward.
Just then Lurenia walked into the room, and Frodo was with her. Vallinoria quickly looked down, as Legolas walked over and sat down in an armchair.
"I'm sorry I could not introduce you to Frodo last night," Lurenia said, "but here he is."
"Hi, how are you feeling?" Frodo asked Vallinoria.
"I'm fine, thank you, Mr. Baggins" She replied
For a while, the four of them all talked about what happened and about the wedding plans. Then Lurenia stood up, "I think it would be nice if we all went out for some lunch, don't you think? I know this very nice bakery down Cinnamon street, Frodo, haven't you been there with me before."
They all agreed to go, took a carriage, and ordered a table for four people. As they were looking at the menu, Vallinoria felt a strange feeling in her blood.
They all were deciding on what to get when suddenly their voices started to fade away as Vallinoria ignored them, her mind was suddenly occupied.
"Vallinoria, what do you want?" one of them said to her. All of a sudden she heard voices in her head.
Vallinoria.run.run while you can.there isn't much time.they're coming.
She screamed "AHHHHHHHHHH WHAT IS IT WHAT DO YOU WANT FORM ME!!!!"
The voices stopped.
The others thought she was talking to them, "Vallinoria, we just want to know what you would like to have for lunch from the menu! Are you ok?" Frodo said. "Uh yeah.I'm ok.just a little sensitive form waking up I guess." She replied.
Later that night she stayed over at Lurenia's house, (as well as Legolas and Frodo) and sat on her bed thinking of what happened (and why) at the bakery that day.
There was a knock on her door. She got up to answer it and to out it was Legolas.
"Good evening Milady" He said to her.
"What is it?" She asked
"Vallinoria, I would like to ask you a question, and I would like an answer." He said to her looking straight into her eyes.
"Sure, go ahead."
"Today at the bakery, you seemed a bit frightened; and last night, you said you sensed danger; is there something bothering you, if there is, you can just tell me."
Vallinoria didn't know how to start, or what to tell him. She did not understand what had been going on lately.
"Nothing, Legolas, I am alright. Don't worry about me."
"Alright then, but if you need me, I will be there for you, ok?"
"Thank you."
The next day Vallinoria practiced her archery, for it was one of her talents. Then she saw Legolas sitting on a bench nearby, and she ran up to him.
"Good morning, Prince." She said smiling.
"Oh, good morning, Vallinoria." He said smiling back.
"Hey, would you give me a hand with my archery?" She asked
"You do archery?" Legolas asked
Vallinoria chuckled "Of course I do, it is a hobby of mine; I love it!"
"Ok, let us test your skills then." He led her to a different target. "Ok, shoot your arrow."
Vallinoria aimed and got it directly in the middle. Legolas' eyes widened. He had never seen a she-elf do such a masculine thing like that before. Then it was his turn. He aimed, and shot, but got it about a centimeter away from where Vallinoria's arrow had landed.
Disappointed, yet happy for her he said, "Well, it looks like you won this round, why don't we go inside for some tea?"
"That would be wonderful." She replied with a smile on her face.
They went inside Lurenia's living room, and she made tea for them. Vallinoria and Legolas were sitting on a two-seater, talking about their experiences.
"Vallinoria," he began, "Where did you learn to shoot like that?"
Vallinoria didn't know what to say. She had learned naturally since she was a child.for as long as she could remember.
"I taught myself since well.as long as I can remember." She replied, while looking down. "I can't imagine myself not knowing how to shoot an arrow."
This surprised Legolas. "But why in the world would such a fine lady like yourself need to learn that? I mean, you shouldn't feel the need to learn a male's skill."
Vallinoria didn't know what to say. She couldn't tell him what sort of life she had. Not yet. He was a prince of higher power, and if she were to tell him her way of life, she would not be worthy of his time.
"I just find it very entertaining, you know, shooting at targets; of course not animals." She began to bluff some reasons why she learned.
Just then Lurenia busted into the room.
"Legolas," She began, "there is a letter here for you, it says, 'OPEN PROMTLY'." She quickly handed it to him.
"I don't exactly know what it is about, all I know is that Frodo got the same one."
Legolas carefully teared it open. He read it, and then, sighed, and stood up. There was this fear in his eyes that scared Vallinoria.
"I hope you don't mind that I go to my room," He said. I would like to speak to Frodo."
"So would I," Lurenia added. Soon they both left the room. Vallinoria sat there, sipping her tea. She thought about the strange things that have been going on lately. What could have been so important that put fear in Legolas' eyes? Then she thought about her dreams and the voices she heard at the bakery. "They're coming." Who could they have meant? Who was coming? Vallinoria started to feel tired and shut her eyes.
She suddenly saw the people running again. One screamed, grabbed her arm, looked at her with fear in their eyes, and said, "They're coming.we are all going to die.they are coming."
"Please tell me! Who is coming???"
"We are going to die."
"But WHO???"
"We are going to die.they're coming.one by one we are all going to die.don't try to hide from them.they WILL find you.don't try to hide."
And with that, everything disappeared, as Vallinoria opened her eyes, breathing so hard, drenched with cold sweat more than ever. She had to figure out what was going on, and soon, before it was too late.
~All of a sudden she found herself in a stampede of people.
"What is going on?" she asked an elf running past her
"We are running."
"From what?" She asked the faceless elf
"We are running."
"I don't understand!" She yelled
"We are running.help us."
"FROM WHAT! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU RUNNING FROM???"
The elf grabbed her arm, looked at her with the fear in her widened eyes, and said "they're coming." and then everything swooshed, and blew up.~
"Help! Help!" she shouted and she heard voices.
