Another installment...Read and enjoy!
Chapter3
"I think she's coming to.." Legolas said in his crisp accented voice. I fluttered my eyes open to see my grandparents and the elf standing before me with a smile. Ok, so I just passed out, my grandparents knew who Legolas was, although he's been here no more than a day. Oh yeah, and he's an elf too. Just when I thought my life couldnt get any more weird...
"Im ok..Just...How do you three know each other?" "Well, thats what I came down here to talk about." Paw Paw and Legolas lifted me up off the floor and set me down on the couch after Nana got me a glass of ice water. "You see Evalyn. Your grandfather and I arent...normal if you want to say it like that." "How different are you?"
"Very?" I looked up at her with an unamused face then back down at my water before downing it all. Legolas smiled to me and took my glass. "Ok, I know that we've kept some things from you but its for your own good..." PawPaw smiled making me feel a little better. "I am a witch and your grandfather is a warlock. But that doesnt change anything. Your Father had the choice to be one, and he turned it down no matter what Julia said."
"My Mum wanted him to be one?! That idiot. I would have been..." Nana pressed her lips together and looked at me. Legolas sat down on the couch next to me while they explained how they were aquantances. "Your grandfather and I discovered a spell about 20 years ago that told how to travel through time. Being young and curious then, we decided to give it a go. Well, we landed ourselves in Prince Legolas' forest and stayed there. For, almost what 3 years? Before we could figure out how to come back home. While we were there, Thranduil, Legolas' father told us that whenever we wanted to we could come back. And we did a few times."
I raised an eyebrow, looking at each of them before shaking my head. I stood up and looked at the christmas tree in the corner, lit up with red,blue and green lights. A few presents cluttered around it, making me remember when my life was normal. With no elves, no magical grandparents and no lies.
"I dont know how to deal with this right now. First I find an elf in my back yard, take him shopping to find a wizard and now you tell me you have powers? And I always thought my life was too boring!" I put my hands on my forehead and walked around the couch, stopping at the dark stairwell.
"I-Why? Why did you lie to me? Now, I dont even know who to trust...Just, let me be alone for a while." With the tears pooling up in my eyes, I ran upstairs and slammed my door a little too loud. Moments before I threw myself on the bed and cried, I turned on my radio to my Three Doors Down cd. I wasnt mad because I waisted a day trying to find a wizard when I could just call my grandparents. The main reason I was so upset was that they lied for 16 and 1/2 years to me. Instead of telling me from the first time I could even know what a witch was, they wait...until I find and elf in my backyard?! ARGH! This was more depressing than school was.
So, for the next two hours, I was locked away in my room, crying into my dark colored pillows until finally, I regained my composure and unlocked my door to head back downstairs. This time I found my parents and grandparents sitting at the table with Legolas, talking over their dinner. Legolas, who was the first to see me walk in, stood up respectfully and bowed at my presence. I rolled my eyes with a smile and sat in the corner at the table, next to Legolas. "Evie.."
"No wait. Let me say something. Im sorry for just blowing up awhile ago. And to Legolas, Im sorry I acted like that in front of you. It was childish of me, and now, why didnt you freakin tell me that your parents were witches?" "And warlocks..." Pawpaw added with a smile. I laughed and listened to them talk about their past and how they just wanted me to have a normal life. "Well, forget that. No way I could be normal now."
"You were never normal Evie...Different, unique, whatever, you have always stayed true to yourself." Mum took my hand and smiled as Daddy set a peice of fried ham infront of me on a plate from supper. I ate it quickly and burped loudly. Legolas gave a loud laugh. "I have never heard a woman belch like that in all my 2000 years!" At 10:30 everyone was yawning, happy that we weren't mad at each other or held any grudges for not telling everything about their lives.
As we sat around the living room sharing more experiances, I sat quietly in the floor, watching the elf across the room from me, smiling and listening. His eyes never wavered away from whomever it was speaking like they were the only two in the room. It was amazing also how amazingly beautiful he was. As I looked over his complexion on his face, I discovered no blemishes or scars. Even his fingers were perfect. Smooth, shiney hands with long golden fingers clasped together in his lap. Somehow, by the time we arrived home and now, he had changed back into his elven clothing. I frowned. It was wrong for me to try and change him to be like our world. He looked much better in that anyhow. But something else, that I didnt notice before. His bow and arrow were set up against the wall, almost as if he were getting ready to leave. I stood up and excused myself to the kitchen.
"Legolas, could I speak with you please?" He smiled and stood up to follow me. "What was it you wanted to speak to me about Lady Evalyn?" "You arent leaving yet are you?" He blinked and stepped forward, taking my hands in his. "I found my wizards. I must return home to my kingdom, where I belong." "No! Not yet, please you're my only friend I ever had. Dont leave me just yet." He sighed and dropped his head a degree lower. I looked into his eyes, staring into his blue spheres with me dark blue ones.
"If you wish me to. I will stay." I nodded, biting my lip. I hated when people went out of their way for me, but I couldnt stand to lose my only friend I ever had. "Thank you..." I wrapped my arms around his stomach, taking him by supprise. A smile spread across my face when I felt his arms wrap around my shoulders. I didnt want to part from him but Nana came in and told me it was time for bed. Nana and PawPaw got the guest room and I offered to give Legolas my room and me take the couch. He was reluctant but I assured him it was ok. Legolas and I stayed awake, fixing my bed on the couch a bit after everyone else was asleep. "Legolas?" "Yes.."
"If you want to go back home you can. Theres no point in you staying just because Im a brat. " I threw my pillow against the back of the couch and sat on the fold out matress to take off my slide in clogs. I felt the bed shift and then a hand on my arm. "I do not need to go home just yet. I would much rather stay here with you anyhow. Your life and world seem so exciting." He smiled down to me and blinked.
"Thank you Legolas." Was the only thing I could say. He was so incredibly and awesomely sweet! Noway in Hades was I ever going to forget about him even after he goes home. We both stood up and fidgeted before either of us said anything. "well, hope my bed is comfy."
"If you want I could sleep down here and you in your own room." I waved my hand infront of him and pushed him over to the bottom of the stairs. "No. Now, go to bed. We're both tired. Sweet dreams!" I watched him walk up the stairs to my room before I went to my own fold out bed and slept until morning.
Hee...what ya think? I really hope everyone likes this...Well, chapter four will have two parts. , lol. Well, R&R and thanks to EVERYONE who has reviewed this. It's appreciated!
