The Two Survivors
Rhys laughed as the two girls finished their story. He had taken quite a liking to Anna. The boisterous girl made him laugh often and loudly. He suggested that they change clothes at the earliest possible opportunity as the clothes they were wearing at that moment were very, as he put it, noticeable. They were still swapping stories by the fire when he heard the sound of footsteps. He stopped mid sentence and waited expectantly
Anna's face straightened as her new-found friend stopped in the middle of his story and she saw him tense like a cat. Expecting anything, she shut up and waited
Louise followed suit and soon they were all waiting in silence when there came rippling laughter from the trees. After a while Rhys joined in as he ran forward to meet the 'sneak attacker', embracing him and leading him back towards the girls. As the firelight caught his face they saw that it was King Legolas.
"Legolas!" exclaimed Rhys excitedly "How long has it been since I saw you last?"
"Ah, too long my friend, too long" he answered
"And how are you enjoying being King?"
"I am not" Replied Legolas "So let us stay away from the subject. I see you have found the escapologists" he laughed, eyes twinkling as he winked at the girls "I would like to find out more about you two, especially you" he said, pointing to Louise "Earlier today, when you were in my judgement, you didn't say a word, although I understand it must have been difficult given that others of us assembled were using their mouths a little more than needed"
"Not my fault you're a jerk" answered Anna. Rolling her eyes, Louise stood up
"I'm going to bed" she said. Legolas stood up, arms outstretched and palms facing towards the sky
"Behold the miracle, the lady speaks!" he said jokingly. Louise walked off laughing into the house.
"So" said Anna
"So" replied Rhys, and they both stared at Legolas. Going red, he followed Louise into the house.
"So" repeated Anna and within 5 minutes, she and Rhys were kissing. Watching them through the window, Legolas laughed light-heartedly. *I knew that would happen* he thought *the minute that girl opened her mouth I was immediately reminded of Rhys* and with that he set off in exploration of the house.
It was a recent acquisition of Rhys', bought within the last 7 months so it took Legolas quite a while to explore. Having had a look at the downstairs part, he climbed up the stairs. Looking into the first room he found it to be a bedroom, quite large with an en suite bathroom. Looking into the next he found it the same, but in the next he found Louise, sitting on the bed reading The Fellowship Of The Ring. By Frodo Baggins. He watched her read for 10 minutes, engrossed by her as he watched her hair fall over her face and her eyes skim the writing on the page. As she looked up slightly to turn the page, she noticed him and started.
"I'm so sorry" he apologised, picking the book up from the floor where she had dropped it. "I was watching you read"
"Thank you that's so very comforting" Louise replied sarcastically. Legolas laughed again. Louise changed the subject
"In this book, there's a Legolas too.. "
"It's me" Legolas admitted
"Wow. Was it cool to be in the fellowship?" she asked
"There were good times and there were bad times" he said remembering Borromir "How far have you got?"
"I don't know, you lost my page" Louise replied "Far enough to know that you're remembering Borromir right now." Legolas smiled sadly, but said nothing, afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would start crying and blubbering all his problems to this one mortal girl.
