ya think. Its gonna be a short story...so expect an ending in about 3 or 4
more chapters...if I dont want to continue it..ANYWAY! here! read..
Chapter 2 The sound of a door being pounded on woke me up the next morning. "EVA!!! Get up!" I sat up straight and looked at my closet. The prince was gone. Fear ran down my spine. If my parents knew I let some freak into my room theyd kill me! I shot out of bed but caught myself before I flew out of the door. Legolas was sitting on the window seal looking out at the backyard and jotting things down on a notepad with my pencil. "Uhm good morning?"
"Lovely isnt it? What kingdom is this?" He asked with a bright smile. Was he not worried at all that he had just been in my closet after he was practically in a forest fire? Guess not since he was drawing a robins nest that was in the oak tree outside my window.
"Alabama...Its not a kingdom. Its a state." He nodded, pretending to understand what I was talking about. "Listen my parents are going to work in about 20 minutes. Stay up here while I take a shower. If you hear anyone coming, like...get in the tree and hide or something. Please, dont make your self known." I backed up against the door, grabbed my bra and clean panties before running to the shower almost knocking my dad down.
It only took 5 minutes for me to wash my hair and body. I wrapped my towel around my long wet hair, put my clothes on and ran out with the towel barely staying on my head. Legolas was in my room looking at my Cd's occasionally pulling one out to study the back of it. "Are my parents gone?"
"No, they are still here. What is your name?!" I ran out of the room and caught my breath at the bottom of the stairs, trying to appear calm. "You nearly killed me upstairs running to the bathroom like that." Dad said taking a bite of his toast. Mum set a plate in front of me with bacon, eggs, and a bisquit. "Man, Mum...I cant eat all this." I shoved the whole pile of eggs in my mouth, washed it down with orange juice and stood up.
"Im hyper! I dont know why...so ignore me if I scream or something..." I walked to the stairs and smiled before running up them as fast as I could. Back in my room, Legolas was studying the pictures on my wall of my dog and family. I didnt really have any friends so I just took pictures of Bear, my dog and outside. "These are extraoridinary!"
"Thanks...uh...Im Evalyn Sandford." I held out my hand for him to shake and was a little suprised when he bowed down and placed his lips right above my knuckles before he released my hand. "Evalyn Sandford." He bowed again, making me smile. For a lunatic, he wasnt that bad looking. In fact he was positivly yummy. The way his blonde hair fell over his shoulders and his blue eyes were just scrumptious. Not to mention he had a body like a battle axe and his clothes enhanced every inch of muscle on him.
"Bye Eva. See you later!" Both my parents called from the stairs. After the car pulled away from the driveway, I pulled my blue and pink hair into two long pigtails high on either side of my head and put on my makeup. Legolas sat on my bed, still and silent. When I turned up the volume of my radio he grabbed his ears and complained about it being too loud so I turned it down. "Im glad its saturday." I grabbed the house keys, shoved them into the pocket of my black pants with a blue lightening bolt down each leg and lead Legolas out the door.
"If only I had a car.." Legolas raised an eyebrow as we walked down the street of my neighborhood before we were just outside downtown Pipertown. With Wall-mart to our left and the mall to the right, I tapped my chin, deciding to go to Wally world first. "C'mon, we can look for a wizard in here." I led him straight to the makeup supplies and searched for some new eyeliner. "This is the most unusual village. It's very loud."
"You should hear it on Fridays. Anyway, follow me, I wanna get some mittens. Are you sure you want to go around dressed like that? People will really think you're weird." Legolas shrugged with a smile and followed me around the store, amazed at all the things. He wouldnt go near the electronic section. It hurt his ears he said. "You have really good hearing." "As all Elves do." I stopped dead in my tracks and looked at him confused. "Elves?" "Yes, Elves. Are you not an elf?" I laughed outloud gaining a weird look from some passer bys. "Legolas...elves? C'mon. You think Im an elf?" He shrugged and tilted his head to the side, staring at my ears. "You're ears arent as pointed as mine, but you have the beauty of an elf."
"Im a freak."
"You are Unique... Which makes you strikingly beautiful." I blushed at this. After we just stared for a second I shook my head and pointed to the door. "Are we ready?" "If you are my lady." "Legolas, c'mon, Its not the 19th century. Call me what every one else calls me...On second thought don't. I dont like being called a freak. Just call me Evalyn. Or just Eva. Or Lyn. Anything but 'my lady'. Makes me feel...weird. Did you find anything that has to do with Wizards?" I asked pointing at the building behind me. Legolas turned around and bit his lip. "I forgot to look." I shrugged and crossed the street heading to the mall with Legolas right at my heel. "Legolas. please, let me find you some more clothes."
"As you wish. Will I be staying with you another night?" I sighed. I hadnt even thought about that. My parents were airheads. Id come up with anything and they'd believe it. "Sure. Just until we find you a wizard aight?" Legolas nodded and stared in awe at the amount of people that were bustling around with bags full of needless things. "ok. Books-a-million has tons of books on magic. If we dont find a wizard maybe I could help in a spell." I cant believe I was actually buying all this wizard mumbo-jumbo. Ok, there was a small detail to the reason why I was beileving this. His name was Legolas. No one could be that crazy. He had to of come from the rennaisance times or something. Perhaps, magic did exist and there was a such thing as going back in time, or ahead in his case. All I knew was that Legolas didnt belong here, and soon he was going to have to return back to his home. No one wants to be out of place.
As Legolas and I searched through the New Age section and rambled through Wicca spells, we were oblivious to how many women had walked up on us, looking at books in this section just to see Legolas. Among one of them there was an older woman, who seemed to be in her late 30's if that young. She was brave enough to walk up to the both of us. "Are you two into Wicca?" I jerked my head up and looked at her then to Legolas but he was reading on about time warps in another book. "Oh...no. We're just bored."
"Oh, thats too bad. Im Willa." I nodded to Legolas and told the woman his name.
"Ah...Is he from around here?" "No, I am from Mirkwood my lady." I pushed him away from her and smiled politly before grabbing a handful of different witchcraft books. "Oh look at the time, I have a hair appointment! Nice speaking with you!!" I tugged on Legolas' hand and pulled him to the cashier, paid for the books and left the store. "That was just too weird for me. Ok, there should be something usefull in these books. Im hungry arent you?" He shook his head and sat down with me at the food court. "Ok, ill be right back. If any women come over and stare...tell them you are married."
"But that would be lieing..." I put my hand on his and smiled. "Its better than getting mauled by teenagers and desperate women..." I got up and walked to chik-fil-A to buy me some chicken strips. As I stood waiting for the line to start moving, I looked at Legolas who was flipping through the pages of one of the many witchcraft books. His clothing was the same from yesterday but his hair was braided on the sides just above the ears and pulled back halfway, neatly. He sat back against to chair with his legs out in front of him. His ankles were crossed and he seemed to be very relaxed. Almost peaceful considering he had no idea where he was or how he was going to get home.
"Can I take your order m'am?" I snapped my attention to the teenager taking the order and told him what I wanted. After I had everything I sat back down with Legolas and smiled to him. "These spells are most unique. Weight loss spells? Shiney hair spells? What good will these do for us?" I dug through the bag and picked up a different book with a caludron on the front. "You just have to find what you're lookin' for. Here read about this one. Its about time travel. Read it over and see what you can decipher from it." I handed him the book and returned to my eating. I was peacful at eating until I felt someone staring. Legolas held a smile with his eyes glued to mine. "What?"
"How old are you Evalyn?" "16, almost 17. Why?" He shrugged, placed the book face down on his page and put his chin in his hands. "You seem very mature for your age." "Thank you. What about you?" "Oh I think im mature for my age too." I laughed wondering how a looney person like he was could be so obliviously adorable. "Which is..." I asked taking a sip of my Dr. Pepper.
"2948" I spit my drink out, spewing it all over the table and the books. "Holy crap! You're...like OLD!" The other people sitting around enjoying their lunch glared at me for my outburst. I blushed and looked at Legolas who had his eyebrows raised in a confused look. "Sorry...Its just that. No one really lives over 100 anymore.. Are you sure you aren't insane?"
"Evalyn, I assure you I am quite sane. Well, I was three days ago. Now I dont know whether Im coming or going. Your world is very strange to me." "It is to me too...Anyway, lets get going. I wanna take you shopping!" I threw my trash away and took off toward Pac-sun where all the cool clothes were. "Ok Legolas, this is my fav store beside Spencers and Hottopic. This is where we're going to buy you cheap, awesome clothes! I hope you know this is the last of my birthday money." I led him around and shoved clothes at him as he stood there like my puppy doing exactly what I wanted. I pushed him through the dressing rooms and handed him the clothes to put on. With his hair and body type, nothing really looked good on him except his clothes I found him with.
The last outfit looked the most decent I guess. Black baggy pants, a black unbuttoned silk shirt with a white under shirt under that. He looked cute but not as hot as he did when I first seen him. "That'll have to do...I guess. C'mon." After it was all paid for, I put his old clothes into a the bag and sat down on a bench in the main part of the mall. "This had been a very weird experiance Legolas. If I go crazy dont blame me. Just tell my parents you came from Mirkwood and that you need lots of love and care." I laid my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes to rest. He smelled like a pine forest mixed with cinnamin and berries. Truly delicious. If I knew him and knew he wasnt crazy, Id kiss him. "What time of year is it?" He asked suddenly.
"December is winter around here. Why?" "I wondered why everyone was so bundled up in scarves and coats when they came in from the outside. It seems to be getting darker." I looked out the door and saw the sun going down behind the clouds along the horizon. "Yea...We better be getting home soon. How bout we call a cab?" I grabbed him by the hand and walked outside waiting for a yellow taxi to drive up. When one finally did drive around the corner I waved my hand and stepped into it when it stopped. Legolas followed me and sat beside me, sort of tense at how fast the cab driver went as he drove through the traffic. "Ill have to tell my parents that you are a foreign exchange student whos host parents died or something and you have no place to stay. Ill throw in a puppy face and baddabing baddaboom. theyll be hooked. For now lets just say you're 18, from Mirkwood yes but lets just say its in Belize. And you're name is Legolas Greenleaf just like real times. Got it? This is it!" The cab stopped and I threw a twenty at him before we rushed back into my twostory townhouse.
When I threw open the door I was shocked to see my grandmother and grandfather sitting at the kitchen table, sharing a cup of coffee. They both smiled, half shocked that Legolas was standing beside me with a happy- go-lucky smile on his face. "Nana...PawPaw. What are you doing here?" "Oh we just thought we'd drop in and see what you were doing." "Oh...Well, this is Legolas. Hes a foreign exchange student from Belize." "Oh we've met." I did a double take at them both staring with wide eyes.
"You've...met? Did I miss something?" Nana stood up and walked over to me. She placed her hands on my shoulder and kissed my forehead before looking back at Legolas. "Yes, hes good friends with us. But what troubles me the most is why you are here.." Legolas opened up his mouth to tell her the same story he told me in the woods but he looked at me and dove to catch me as my eyes rolled back in my head. And then darkeness took over my sight and everything fell silent....
Lol....That was fun. I hope you like it. Im very proud of my stuff! Well, review please!
