E/N: Hi everybody! Elvea finally came back from her vacation and finished her chapter, so now I can finally write! YAY!!! Anyway, school started today and therefore I now have more time to write. Yes, I write during class, so what. Like class is interesting anyway. Well, I'll get back to writing now, I'm bored to death. Vacation can be soooo boring (yes, I am sick in my head :oP) Oh, and there's this one thing I have to say to flamers, don't just flame by saying my fic sucks, coz you're not helping me by doing that. Just say what you think is wrong, and give me tips to improve that. And, dear flamer, I never forced you to read the first 10 (!) chapters of my story, so don't complain about that.
Disclaimer: same as in previous chapters, still don't own any LotR characters. Did see an Orlando Bloom-a-like in France tho…

20th of Halimath 1384 (S.R.)
Hi everybody!
Today was an… interesting day. Boys can be such perverts. I finally come up with a good plan, then he… ARG! Just wait and see/read! Guys…
When I woke up this morning, strange enough, it was early. Nobody else was awake. That's when a plan crept into my mind. I grabbed my pillow and snuck to the other side of the hallway. I slowly opened the door. I tiptoed my way to Legolas' bed and lifted my pillow up high. A few second later my pillow crashed into his head.
'AAAHH!!!' He screamed. Everyone jumped up out of their beds.
'What the Mordor is going on here?' Frodo shouted. 'What are you doing in our room?' this was not supposed to happen. Not only was I now rolling on the floor laughing, I was also barely dressed…
'I… I…' I couldn't say anything coz I had to laugh so hard. You should have seen the looks on the faces of Merry and Pippin. As if a dragon just flew into their room! It was just too funny! A few minutes later, after I had caught my breath I looked around.
'Why are you only wearing a t-shirt?' Legolas asked. I looked at myself.
'My PJ's…' I said.
'How charming.'
'Shut up.' I got up off the floor and looked around in the room. Was that just me, or was Éomer still asleep? I crept up to Éomer and lifted my pillow above my head.
'WAAH!' Éomer yelled.
'AH!' I squealed as I jumped backwards and flung myself onto Legolas' bed and crawled behind him. The guys started to laugh hysterically. 'So not funny!' I said in-between laughs. 'Don't you dare laugh at me!' They laughed even harder. 'I'll get you for this!' I walked to the exit of the room and opened the door. 'I'll be back Éomer, trust me, I will be back.' I walked back to my own room and got dressed. Today no baggy jeans, but a skirt and a short top. It promised to be a hot day today and I didn't want to get overheated.
So far for a diabolical master plan…
Breakfast was next up. I got myself a bowl of cereal and dumped myself next to Leg and the guys at the table. I stuffed the cereal into my mouth as fast as I could.
'Cereal again huh?' Legolas said.
'MnnmmhmMMnnhhghgmn' I said.
'What?'
'Where's Éomer?'
'Uh…' The guys looked around the table.
'He was here a few seconds ago...' Faramir stated.
'He's afraid of me.' I said. 'I'm sure he is. He knows I'll get him for that… *joke*.'
'Sure Endomiel, whatever.' Estel said. Why doesn't he believe me? I am evil you know!
Arwen and Éowyn sat with us.
'Hi honey.' Éowyn said. 'Had a nice night?'
'Could be better.' Faramir grinned. 'If you were there.' Boromir pretended to puke. We all laughed. 'What?' Éowyn sat down next to Faramir and Arwen sat with Estel. I guess everybody was here. Oh, no, Elvea wasn't here. Aww, who'll miss her anyway? Wait, Éomer wasn't here either… maybe…
Elvea walked into the mess. I guess not.
'Hey guys! Where are the others?' She said. Others? What others?
'Don't you mean "Where's Éomer?".' Faramir said. Boromir sent him a death glare. What's his problem? Elvea didn't look like she was going to answer Faramir's question anyway.
'Are you going to do all classes today?' Estel asked Elvea.
'I'm going to try, but I think I'll be sick during water sports. Why? Water sports is a cool class! Except for the fact that Glorfindel teaches us that is…
'Isn't it obvious I hate that git?' Elvea responded. It kind of is, I must say. But then again, who doesn't?
'How can you know you're already going to be ill?' Arwen asked. Did she even look at Glorfindel? IWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!
'Oh come on! Glorfindel teaches us! His face alone is enough to make me sick!' Elvea said. Same here! A little while later, everyone had finished breakfast. I walked to my room and grabbed my bag. Leg and I walked back outside with Faramir, Éowyn, Boromir, Estel and Arwen. As usual, we sat on the lawn. We looked up at the clouds.
'That one looks like a dragon…' Estel said while pointing up at a cloud. Hey, that's funny! It actually does!
'That one looks like a horse.' Boromir said.
'That one looks like a bowl of cereal…' I mumbled. My stomach made noise. Everyone looked at me with strange looks in their eyes. 'What? I'm hungry okay?'
'You just ate Endomiel!' Faramir said.
'Only one bowl of cereal! Back in the shire, we ate much, much more. And we had second breakfast too. You know I've been skipping second breakfast for two weeks now! If I wasn't an Elf, I would be losing weight by now!' They laughed. It's true! The bell ringed. Aww… time for class again. We walked to our classroom and took a seat. Elvea and Éomer were standing next to our desk, about to kiss. The whole class was watching them, but they didn't seem to notice. I thought they broke up? Confusing…
Gildor cleared his throat. They turned their heads to his direction. 'I don't mind two of my students getting that close…' Gildor said arms crossed over his chest and an amused grin on his face. 'But please, could you save your intimacies for after class?' We started to laugh. I guess they really didn't know we were all here! Their faces flushed and they quickly sat down on their places.
'Aww… the poor princess got interrupted…' Legolas grinned.
'Shut up, *subject*.' She hissed.
'Too bad Elvea. Doesn't it get annoying to be interrupted all the time?' I grinned. Then… a plan crept into my mind… I would prove my power of manipulation to Eru with this plan! Maybe he would grant me with more powers if it succeeded… Within seconds Gildor started talking about that dark lord of his and his evil ring again. He's got the whole story wrong! Sauron didn't make the stupid ring for himself! I'll tell you the true story. One day, when I was still living in the heavens with Eru and my sister, Sauron came up to me and said he really liked me blablabla. 'Prove it!' I said. 'Prove to me that I am your everything, give me something of… great evil…' Not that I liked the guy, but hey, I could always use some help in my evil diabolical plans. He made me the ring, and gave it to me in Barad-dur. From there, we planned our evil war. I put the ring on, and before I knew it that son of a b*tch Isildur cut it off my hand! Can you believe that! He actually cut a finger off the Goddess of Evil! How dare he! I swear, someday I'll get him for that. Or somebody from his bloodline at least! And I want my ring back too.
Next up, Quenya again. Nothing interesting, except for a few death-glares form Elrond whenever Legolas and I got to close to each other. Quite often as you can guess. After another comment about us being to close to each other, I couldn't help but react.
'Bite me!' I whispered. Stupid remark, I know. That's like asking for comments…
'Name the time and place baby…' Legolas whispered. I started to laugh. Legolas wrapped his arm around me.
'Prince Greenleaf and Miss Mornië, get your hands off each other this instant!' Elrond's voice boomed through the classroom. I seriously think he doesn't like us. Maybe he knows Legolas's dad…
'That's future Princess Mornië to you sir.' Legolas said as he wrapped his arm tighter around my shoulders. A few people applauded.
'SILENCE!' Elrond yelled. 'I do not take that language from a student. That's detention for you young Prince!'
'You don't have to be so hard on him!' I said. 'He is kind of right. By the way, why can't we touch each other? We're engaged for Eru's sake!'
'Don't push your luck young lady.'
'But he's right!' I said. Elrond turned around and walked back to the front off the class. He continued to teach class. What's this? I don't get detention? Why don't *I* get detention? I want detention too! Why does everybody get detention except me? Am I that nice? This is discrimination! I demand detention! The bell rang and we were dismissed. As in a trance I walked to the lawn and sat down on the grass. 'I want detention too…' I mumbled.
'What?' Legolas said. 'You actually want detention?'
'Hm? You talking to I R?' I said.
'Never mind.' I looked at Elvea. She was sitting between Éomer and me.
'Hey Elvea.' I said. 'Don't you want a boyfriend? They are so multifunctional. Look what I can do with them!' I softly kissed Legolas on the mouth. I had to convince Éomer and Elvea of the fact that you're better off with a boyfriend. I'll manipulate their minds, I'll…. Ooh, Leg is a good kisser… we kissed some more… and some more… and I kind of forgot what I wanted to say to Elvea. Oh well, it probably wasn't that important anyway. After a while of 'cloud watching' (like I saw any clouds… I did see sky blue eyes tho…) the bell rang. With a last kiss we disappeared into the separate changing rooms. After that we walked into the pool.
'Class, today we're going to start with some laps.' Glorfindel said. A moan went through the group. Not laps again…
'Can't we do synchronised swimming for a change?' Elvea asked. Oh no… not synchronised swimming! I'd rather swim laps!
'No we can't.' Glorfindel replied.
'Why not?'
'Because I never learned that sport.'
'Why not?'
'Because it's a girls sport.' His point? Or is it her point…
'Shouldn't you have learned it then?' Good one :o) Glorfindel's head turned read of anger. I guess he actually got the joke!
'Lady Aure, report at my office this afternoon!' Glorfindel said with a loud voice. Why does she get detention and I don't? It's so unfair! After two hours of laps, which are very boring by the way, the lunch-break finally arrived. It's about time! We walked to the mess and got something to eat and walked to the lawn where we sat down. Lied down actually. A chest makes a nice pillow…Suddenly Elvea shouted at Éomer.
'Stop patronising me!' she shouted as she threw a lump of bread in his face and walked away. What was that all about? Éomer sat there staring at the door witch she left through. After a while I sat next to him.
'Are you okay?' I asked him.
'Fine…' He said sounding like he was not entirely on this planet.
'You're not fine.' I said. 'If you need to talk, just give a call okay?'
'I'm fine.' He repeated.
'Okay.' I patted him on the shoulder and then somebody pulled my backwards.
'Why did you go sneaking off from me?' Legolas whispered as his face hovered right above mine.
'Doesn't it turn you on?' I whispered back.
'Everything you do turns me on…' He said as he kissed me.
'Please, spare us the details!' Faramir said. 'I for one don't want to know what turns you two on.' I got up from under Legolas and turned around.
'You don't Faramir? Not even a little bit?' My face was right in front of his, about 5 centimetres in-between them. He didn't say anything.
'Enough attention for Faramir.' Legolas said as he pulled me back to him. 'Time for me again.' We laid back down. Faramir stared at me. I winked. He quickly turned around and started talking to Éowyn. Shy?
The bell rang and we walked to class. Biology from Galadriel. I grabbed a honey-syrup-stick and stuck it in my mouth. Legolas looked at me and licked his lips. I stuck out my tongue. He winked. What was he up to? What was he thinking? A knock on the door. Elvea stepped in.
'Good afternoon, lady Elvea. Good of you to come. I hope you are feeling well again.' Galadriel said.
'Uh yeah, I feel healthy enough to follow your class.' Elvea replied.
'If you're okay with that, I would like if you'd explain some things about menstruation to the class. Would you?' The was one request… I am so glad I wasn't asked to do that!
'Uhm… I don't think that will be such a good idea since I am easily tired and stuff…'
'Okay. Noviën, would you be so kind to tell the class about it?' Noviën shyly got up and started telling. Elvea sat down next to Legolas. As I was sucking my candy-stick, Legolas whispered something into my ear.
'You know what that movement makes me think of?' He grinned.
'Tell me?' I asked, having no clue what he was talking about, let alone stand what movement.
'Well, that candy-thing… *the rest of this sentence is censored for I want to keep the rating PG-13*' My eyes grew big and my face red. God, was that what he was thinking about? I mean, okay, I can see it happening some day, but now this year! Uhm… okay, month... Week… Not today okay!
'Legolas, could you say that out loud please?' Galadriel said. Our faces turned very, very red… this was going to be bad…
'I uhm…' Legolas stammered. 'Well uhm… I said uhm… do I really have to say this out loud?'
'Never mind Legolas, but next time spare me the details. I can read minds you know.' God, how embarrassing! She "heard" everything? I forgot to shield my thoughts… Galadriel started to tell about the uhm… "Reproduction process". She looked at leg and me most of the time and I got the idea she was talking to us in particular. What? During the rest of the class Galadriel managed to get the heads of several other students red. (Think Estel, Boromir, Faramir, Éomer and Vebor) I'm surprised she didn't get them all red. I mean, the average guy thinks of sex every 6 seconds. But these aren't normal guys, these are hormone-driven teen-agers… I now see the advantage of not being able to read minds…
*~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**
Legolas's P.O.V.
Do I really have to say that out loud? Please don't tell me I have to say that out loud… it was supposed to be a joke… I think Endomiel took it to serious to tho… How am I going to save myself from this situation…
'I uhm… Well uhm… I said uhm… do I really have to say this out loud?'
'Never mind Legolas, but next time please spare me the details, I can read minds you know.' Galadriel said. Oh shit… I forgot all about that… Must keep pure thoughts for the rest of the lesson… Must keep pure thoughts. Must keep pure thoughts. What's Endomiel wearing? Must keep pure thoughts… That's a short shirt… I looked at her. I wonder… Must keep pure thoughts! Must keep pure thoughts. Must keep pure thoughts. Is that a skirt she's wearing? I've never seen her wearing a skirt before, have I? It looks good on her… must keep pure thoughts. Must keep pure thoughts. Must keep pure thoughts. What would she be wearing under… MUST KEEP PURE THOUGHTS!

Endomiel's P.O.V.
After Biology there was Sindarin. Elrond again. He kind of ignored us the whole lessen and didn't even say anything when Legolas kissed me while he was standing next to our desk. Daring… :o) After Sindarin we walked to my room. I laid down on my bed.
'Man, I'm exhausted…' I said as I stared at the ceiling. Legolas sat next to me on the bed.
'How come?' He asked as he ran his finger down my face.
'I got up way to early today…' I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Suddenly he kissed me. He tickled my stomach with his hand. 'Stop that.' I giggled.
'What?' He said as ran his other hand up and down my face.
'You know what I mean….' I kissed him again. The door opened.
'And then he said… Oh My God!' Arwen said.
'He said oh my god?' Éowyn said as she turned to what Arwen was staring at. 'Oh My God…' We got up as fast as we could.
'I'm so sorry…' Arwen said. 'I didn't mean to interrupt… I uh…'
'What were you doing anyway?' Éowyn asked. 'Were you going to…' Her eyes got big.
'Of course not!' I said.
'Well…' Legolas grinned as he kissed me. I playfully pushed him away.
'Of course not.' I repeated.
'No sex before the marriage!' Arwen said as she grabbed her bag and pushed Éowyn out of the room. She closed the door behind her.
'Lets resume where we left off…' Legolas said. The bell rang.
'Saved by the bell!' I said as I pushed him off me grabbed my bag and walked out of the room. Less then a second later Legolas followed.
'Wait a sec!' He said as he came running after me.
'What's next?' I asked. He grinned. 'I meant what class Legolas.' Guys… Homeroom was boring. Gildor explained that we had a few extra classes starting now like chemistry. Also he said that it would be appreciated if we could not 'stick' to each other in lunch breaks or classes. Some people would prefer if we wouldn't do that. Is he talking to me?
After the last class, it was almost time to put my plan into action. Not only would I manipulate somebody and maybe even get extra powers, I would also make a new couple! Well, new… you get the idea. I now only had to wait until Elvea and Legolas were done with their detention. When they were finally done, it was time to start the plan. I went to look for Éomer.
'Hey Éomer.' I said when I found him.
'What do you want from me?'
'I need your help.'
'For what?'
'Just come with me.' I dragged him to a big tree in the middle of the forest. 'You wait at that tree okay.' I said as I pointed at the tree.
'Where are you going?'
'Uhm… I forgot something. I'll be right back okay?'
'Whatever.' I walked back to the school and waited in the mess. Legolas was already there waiting for me.
'Did all go well?' I asked.
'Great.' He answered.
'Good.' We snuck off through my room window and climbed in a tree from where I could see Éomer. And Elvea ;o)
'So now what?'
'We wait.' I answered. We sat there in the tree while I watched Elvea and Éomer though my binoculars. (See note below)
********************************************************************************************************************
16:15; plan is put to work
16:16; nothing happened
16:17; still not talking to each other
16:27; Leg asked what I'm doing
16:28; Leg asked why I used binoculars. I have elven eyes don't I? What's the use of binoculars? He wants to know.
16:29; Leg wants to do something… else
16:30; 'Leg! Get out of my view!'
'Why? This is boring! I want to…' He moves in to kiss me but hits his head against the binoculars. 'Auw…'
'Now get out of my view!'
'No.'
'Was that a strand of hair falling from your head?'
'Oh no!'
16:35; 'Very funny Endomiel. I'm not going bald.' DUH!
16:40; still nothing happened. No, wait, did Éomer just move closer to Elvea?
16:41; yep, most certainly did.
16:42; did it again!
16:43; they started to talk! Seems like my plan's working
16:44; Bending closer to each other…
16:45; Touchdown!
16:46; I love it when a plan comes together.
16:47; Legolas wants to know if we can do 'something else' now
'No Leg, we have to wait until I'm sure it worked.'
'Look at them. It worked.' Leg said. Okay, I think about now it's safe to say that my plan indeed succeeded.
16:48; is that his hand on her butt?
16:49; okay… time to put the binoculars away…
16:50; Legolas tried to kiss me while I was putting the binoculars away.
'Would you stop that?'
'Why?'
'I am trying to keep an eye on them.'
'They wont go anywhere.' He leaned against me. I moved backwards. There was no branch behind me… I fell from the canopy and hit the ground pretty hard. Legolas, who was leaning against me, suddenly found himself leaning against air. He fell down to. On top of me.
'What did you do that for?' Legolas whispered.
'I didn't do anything! You made me do it.'
'I made you fall from the tree.'
'You sure did!'
'Yeah right.'
'Sssh! Or they'll find us!'
'Who cares.' Legolas said as he tried to kiss me again.
'I do!'
'Well, they won't find us coz they're sitting over there.' Legolas pointed at the tree. I looked. They weren't there…
'Over where?' I asked.
'Over here.' Éomer's voice came from next to us. Oh shit…
'I told you they'd see us!' I said. 'I told you to shut up!'
'Can I now finally get my kiss?' Legolas said with a begging undertone in his voice. Elvea grinned.
'So Legolas.' She said. 'I finally understand what you forgot about half an hour ago. Legolas' face flushed and I covered my face with my hand.
'You moron.' I hissed. 'You ruined my master plan!'
'Your master plan? OUR master plan!' our master plan? Yeah right! I came up with it myself! He only helped a little!
'My master plan!' I said.
'Care to fill us in on the rest of your master plan, since we're obviously involved.' Éomer said.
'Oh, look at the time! We gotta go! Ta-ta for now!' I said as I got up and tried to drag Legolas off too.
'What exactly did you see?' Elvea asked as she looked into my eyes. I looked at the ground and started drawing circles and stuff in the soil with my foot.
'Well uhm… there was a tree… and another tree… and another one… a lot of trees around here don't you think?'
'What else?' She asked a hint of irritation in her voice.
'Uhm… a bird… and a bug… and Legolas… oh, and another tree…'
'Get to the point already!' Éomer said obviously irritated.
'Okay, okay! Sorry…' I said getting a bit irritated myself. Why did they have to know what we saw anyway? 'So I had my binoculars and I saw the two of you, not co-operating with my plan at all. Then after about half an hour, you started talking. That lasted for about… two minutes. Then you started making out as if your lives depended on it.' I stated. 'Did I forget anything Legolas?'
'Well… if you mean Éomer grabbing Elvea's butt or something… then yes, you have forgotten that part.' Éomer's face flushed. So did Elvea's by the way.
'Oh, right! Thanks Leg!'
'It's Legolas.'
'Hmm?'
'My name is Legolas. LE-GO-LAS, get it? LEGOLAS!'
'Ah, shut up Leg. We have to go anyway. Places to go… things to see… come on Leg.'
'I'm coming *Endy*.' I glared at him. He knows I hate when he calls me Endy. Hmhmhm… I wonder if that's why he doesn't want me to call him Leg…
'You do realize that a line like "I'm coming Endy!" can be taken in a really wrong way by the two of us.' Éomer pointed out to Legolas, wide grin on his face. Legolas' face flushed. Guys…
'I'll get back to you for that later. Come on Endy, we're leaving.' *Now* he wanted to leave! We should have just left when I said so but noooooo… and now he wanted to leave? Let's get out of here!
'Why such a hurry, Legolas? Something we're not allowed to know?' Elvea asked as she grinned. 'This doesn't happen to have anything to do with Biology, or does it?' Legolas grinned too. Oh god…
'Mature audiences only.' He said.
'Then how come you're allowed to know?' I asked him.
'Oh, do shut up.'
'But what if I don't want to shut up…?' I asked, challenging him. He kissed me. 'Works for me…' I said as we kissed again. His hand went through my hair as I softly tickled his sides under his shirt. Legolas smiled. Suddenly, Éomer cleared his throat. Right… they were still here too… Our faces flushed.
'I didn't mean to interrupt anything.' He said.
'Then you shouldn't have said anything!' I said.
'We seriously have to go now!' Legolas said while pushing me away from Éomer and Elvea.
'Hey!' Elva said. 'Don't tell anyone about us yet!'
'Why not?' I asked.
'Because… Other wise I'll tell everyone you and Legolas…' She said suggesting you-know-what.
'Then I'll just tell everyone we didn't.' I said. It's as simple as that.
'But who will they believe Endomiel? The girl with the image of a sweet and innocent angel or the one that is known to be evil?' I turned red of anger and humiliation. If she'd do that… my reputation would sink to evil slut of the school… Evil, okay, but slut….
'I can't promise you anything.' I said. 'Come on leg, we're leaving.' We turned around and walked into the forest. Legolas wrapped his arm around my waist. Suddenly, I felt something pinching my but. 'AUW!' I cried. 'Did you just pinch my but? YOU JUST PINCHED MY BUT!' I yelled at Legolas.
'Sorry…' He said, face flushed.
'That hurts you know! How would you like if I pinched your but?'
'Kinky…' He said, a wide grin on his face. I sighed. Guys… In the distance we could hear Elvea and Éomer talking. We climbed up into a tree so we could watch them again.
'They never stop arguing do they?' Éomer said.
'I think they're a cute couple, actually.' Elvea replied.
'WE'RE NOT CUTE!!' Both of us yelled at the same time. How could they say we're cute? We are *so* not cute!
'That was bad when you blackmailed Endomiel.' Éomer said. 'And you know what I do to evil girls…?' he grinned.
'Please save us the details!' We shouted from the treetop. What's this? Two elves, one mind?
'Then leave already!' Éomer shouted back at us. As if! I wanted to see if my plan turned out okay! 'Do you want to know?' He asked Elvea.
'Depends.' She said.
'How do you mean, depends?'
'Like I said it, depends.'
'But the meaning of "Depends" depends!' Éomer said, confusion clear in his voice.
'Depends on what?'
'The situation. Yes or no?'
'Depends.' She repeated.
'You are driving me crazy!'
'In what way?'
'Depends.' At this point, Legolas and I were almost falling from our treetop, laughing so hard. They sure are a strange couple!
'I… You… AAAAAAAAARG!' Elvea shouted.
'The two of you make a cute couple as well!' I shouted at them. Éomer glared in our direction.
'Would you two just piss off?'
'Depends!' We shouted, falling over each other from laughing so hard.
'Come on Elvy, we're leaving *Endy* and *Leg* alone now!' he grabbed Elvea's arm and dragged her off.
'Elvy?!?' Legolas said. We started to laugh again. When we finally stopped laughing, I didn't know where they went anymore.
'Where did they go?' I asked Legolas.
'I don't know and I don't want to know.' He answered.
'Why not?'
'We've never done it in a treetop before, have we?' He grinned. Again.
'We've never done *it* at all Leg.'
'Your point?' He kissed me. We spent quite some time kissing, when suddenly, somebody was standing under our tree. We looked down. Elrond…
'I know you're somewhere around here!' he shouted. Who was he talking about?
'Prince Greenleaf, I demand you come out of that tree at once!' Oh, so that's who he's looking for. Why would he by looking for Legolas? 'There is mail for you. I suggest that you read it as soon as possible.'
'I don't want to go back to campus…' Legolas whispered in my ear.
'Same here.' I whispered back. We looked back at the ground. Where did Elrond go?
'Get out of this tree at once. Both of you.' He was sitting on a branch about 1 meter above us. We jumped out of the tree.
'How did you find us?' I asked.
'I could clearly see four feet in the tree.'
'Oh.' Pretty obvious actually. We didn't take much time hiding ourselves…We walked back to campus and Elrond led us to his office. He handed Legolas the letter and we went to his room. He sat on his bed and read the letter. I walked trough the room. It was a complete mess. Kind of reminds me of my part of the room… 'What does it say?' I asked after a while.
'Stuff.'
'What kind of stuff?'
'Personal stuff.'
'May I know?'
'Lutetia is coming over next month.'
'Why?'
'She wants to take me back.'
'Back to what?' He looked me in the eyes. 'Mirkwood?' he nodded. 'Can I come too? I've always wanted to see Mirkwood.'
'I don't think so…'
'Why not?' He handed me the letter. His father wrote it. It said that he was not happy with Legolas breaking up the engagement for a girl he knew for about two weeks and that he was behaving like a teenager. Well, DUH! He also wrote he'd be coming over as soon as possible and that Lutetia is already on her way here. She'll be here in about 3 weeks. 'That sucks…' I said.
'Sure does.'
'What happens if she wants to take you back to Mirkwood?'
'Depends.'
'On what?'
'On how many guards she brought with her. If she only brings her personal guards I can stay here but if my dad sends some elves along to get me back, I will have no choice then to go with her.'
'Oh.' He rested his head in his hands. I just sat there. What could I do? I had no say whatsoever in this matter. I don't know the procedure, I don't know what to do… I ran my hand through his hair. 'It'll be okay.' I said.
'How could you know?'
'Trust me, I know.' I could always use my powers or ask for Eru's help. I'm sure he'll help me. Or wouldn't he… he is the reason I can't love, maybe he won't help… maybe he didn't want us to be together and this was his way of breaking us up… This is getting us nowhere… 'Let's go to the mess. Dinner's about to begin and the last thing you want is that people find out that something's wrong.' He took my hand and we walked to the mess. We sat down on an empty table. I went to get us some food. When I returned, Faramir, Boromir, Éowyn and Arwen were sitting with Legolas. Legolas had his elbows on the table and his face in his hands. He wasn't responding to their questions except for a moan now and then suggesting yes or no, they didn't quite find out which one. 'Okay people, move over, food's coming through.' I said as I sat next to Legolas and put his food in front of him. Legolas sat up straight and lifted his head up to see who it was that sat next to him.
'Thanks.' He said when he saw the food. He started to poke his dinner with his fork, occasionally taking a bite.
'If you're not hungry, don't eat. I'll take it if you don't want it, okay?'
'Sure…'
'What's wrong with him?' Arwen asked me.
'Uhm… nothing. He's just a bit… tired.' I said.
'Tired huh…' She grinned. I didn't respond. I didn't feel like joking around right now. After dinner we went back outside. We laid on our backs on the lawn staring at the few clouds still in the sky while the sun was slowly going down.
'I wonder how long we can still do this…' Legolas suddenly asked.
'Very long Legolas.' I answered.
'…Not much longer then a moth…' He continued.
'Much longer then a moth. 2 At least.' I said.
'… The sky here is much clearer as it is in Mirkwood…'
'You're not going back Leg.' By now most of the other got up and were watching us. I didn't really notice that Legolas and I were like, the only ones still staring at the sky.
'… It isn't safe to lay about and watch the sky in Mirkwood…'
'Legolas, stop the depressed talk, will you!' I said as I got up and looked him in the eyes. He said nothing but looked back into me eyes. He looked so… careless… like he didn't care what happened to him anymore. I can't blame him, it's not that great to know that you have to leave a place before you feel ready to leave. 'Life's not over yet. You shouldn't give up so easily.'
'I have to go anyway.'
'No you don't. Just say how you feel, ask for another chance. I'm sure they'll understand.'
'You clearly don't know my father.'
'Your father clearly doesn't know me.' He smiled.
'Nobody knows you.'
'How do you mean?'
'Every time I think I know you, you just go and surprise me again.'
'True, but if I'd be predictable, I wouldn't even be half as much fun.'
'True.'
'Just don't give up, we'll get your dad to let you stay here.'
'It's not my dad I worry about.'
'How do you mean?'
'Lutetia always gets what she wants.'
'I hate her already.'
'That makes to of us.'
'What the Mordor are you talking about?' Faramir suddenly said.
'Nothing.' Both of us said at the same time. We started to laugh. The rest of the gang was looking at us as if we'd just gone mad. So not true, I've been mad from the day I was born! After a while staring at the sky, my head lying on his chest, his hand stroking my hair, I got up and walked to the dorm.
'Where are you going?' Legolas asked.
'I'll be right back.' I said as I walked into the mess and passed through it. I walked into my room and grabbed a sheet of paper and started writing. This is what I wrote:
Hello King Thranduil (how else are you supposed to address a king?)
You might not know me, but I am Endomiel, you know, the new fiancée of your son Legolas. He just received a letter from you in which it said that his former fiancée will be coming over to Imladris to take Legolas back to Mirkwood. Legolas told me personally that he would rather stay here in Imladris, with me. I really like your son and I think that us wanting to be together and getting engaged, and therefore breaking up his former engagement, is most certainly not a gesture of immature behavior. Don't you also think that love should go over forced marriage? Please allow Legolas to stay here, at least to the end of the school year, I will be ever grateful. I foresee that if you let him stay, great prosperity will come to your kingdom. Trust me on this, your son is better off here, with his friends.
Thanks for hearing me out,
Endomiel Mornië from the Shire
I had no idea what else to write. I could go on rattling about how I'd like him to stay here and how much fun we have together and stuff, bit I think he'd just skip that part of the letter if I wrote it anyway. So when I was done writing, I walked to the mailbox and threw the letter in. Legolas wasn't on the lawn anymore, as a matter of fact, nobody was on the lawn anymore. How curious. Anyway, I walked back into the mess and got my dinner. I sat down with the guys. Faramir was staring into the nothing, Boromir looked like he had just died, Estel was kind of stuck to Arwen, Elladan and Elrohir were talking to each other and looking at me, they probably knew about the letter, and Éowyn was trying to talk to me. Something about what was bothering me and if I wanted to talk about it. Whatever. I was to screwed up myself to bother with the others. When I had eaten a few bites of food, I pushed it away. I think I'll have a talk with Boromir anyway coz he looks really bad…
'Hey Boromir.' I said as I dropped myself on the empty chair next to him.
'Leave me alone.'
'Problems too huh?'
'I don't want to talk about it.'
'Neither do i…' I sighed as I rested my head in my hands and stared at the door of the mess.
'Love?' Boromir suddenly asked. I looked at him, gigantic question marcs in my eyes. 'Is the problem love?' He repeated. So that's what he meant…
'As always…' I mumbled. 'Love sucks.'
'Sure does…' He sighed as he also rested his head on his hands.
'Who's your issue?'
'Elvea. Who's yours?'
'Legolas.'
'Legolas?'
'More his dad actually, but Legolas too.'
'I don't think I get it…'
'Legolas' dad wants him to come back to Mirkwood and marry Lutetia, but I don't think he feels like going and I don't want him to go either.'
'So what's the problem?'
'He gave up hope, he already embraced the fact that he'll have to go back in a few weeks, but if we fight together, we might just convince his dad to let him stay.'
'True.'
'So what's your problem with Elvea?' He looked me in the eyes. 'Éomer.'
'Yep. Did you see them in class today? It was just… It was… I felt so… helpless…'
'I know the feeling… that's exactly the way I felt when Legolas was seeing her… every time I saw them together…' The thought only almost made me puke. To think of the object of your affection, loving somebody else, being with somebody else, or even being touched be someone else is so… It is unbearable. Especially if you're not able to tell that person how much you like him… Oh, how I hate these limitations a goddess has… I sighed.
'Life is though. If only there was a beam of light on the horizon, but alas, even that thought has perished from my mind. I will never find anyone like Elvea again…'
'There will be somebody else for you Boromir…' I said. 'You know, the thing that really bothers me is that Legolas now has to marry somebody he doesn't love. I know we will never get married, but that doesn't mean he has to get married to her… He should have a choice in all this! They can't just force him to do this!'
'It happens a lot in the higher circles of society.' Boromir said. 'In my country, they used to do it too, but they banned the law after one of the stewards had to marry a woman he didn't love and he wanted to save his children from going through what he went through.'
'I think I like that guy.' I said with a little smile on my face. Boromir smiled back.
'I'm going for a walk now, so if anybody asks you where I went, I'll be outside okay?' I guess that was his not-so-silent silent hint to tell me that he wants to walk around alone. I can't blame him, he's probably got a lot on his mind too. I got up and walked to our common room, also known as the hallway in-between the girls and guys rooms. As I walked around the corner, Arwen ran into me.
'OH MY GOD!' she squealed while flapping her hands around. What was wrong with her?
'What's up Arwen?' I asked as I caution full did a few steps backwards.
'I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!!' She squealed. Okay… why is she so happy? Marriage is an evil thing…
'To whom?' I asked. Stupid question, I know.
'Estel of course!' he voice less high-pitched as before. 'Elvea and Éomer were in the woods, don't ask why, and they ran into Elrond, or the other way around, I don't care really, and daddy got all mad at Estel coz he had found out from Elvea and then Estel asked if he could marry me and daddy said yeah, of course! And I was soooooooo happy!' okay… that doesn't sound like Elrond at all…
'Are you sure that's what happened?' Then a diabolical idea popped up in my head, or should I say, Arwen's head… I planted the idea in Arwen's head that Elvea and Éomer were also engaged, just to have some fun. I had to get back on her for blackmailing me somehow, shouldn't I? Hehehe…
'OH MY GOD!' She squealed, as high pitched as before. My poor ears…
'What now Arwen?'
'Elvea and Éomer are also getting married! We can have a double wedding! This is gonna be soooo cool! A double wedding! I can't wait until the day comes! I can't wait 'till all my friends get engaged! Wouldn't that be cool Endomiel, if we could all get married at the same party? That would be soooo cool!'
'Yeah Arwen…' I mumbled as I walked away from her.
'I have to go tell the others!' She ran off in the direction she came from. I am so glad she didn't think of the fact that Legolas and I are engaged too… If only she knew… I'd have to get married if she thought of that… I walked on through the building. After about 15 minutes, I was about to turn around a corner when I heard people talking on the other side. Elvea and Elanor… I had to get around that corner and escape before she saw me… I shrunk myself to mini-size and walked around the corner. I was now about the size of a hand and carefully creping around the corner. As long as I wasn't losing my concentration and keeping my mind on my spell everything would be all right…
'And Arwen heard it from-'
'Endomiel…!' Elvea said with a venomous voice. Were they talking about me? I turned around and looked at them. What were they talking about? I concentrated on what they were talking about for a split second. A split second to long… before I knew it, I was growing to normal size again… a big poof of smoke was around me and when it cleared up I could see Elanor and Elvea stare at me. Uh-oh…
'Very funny Endomiel.' Elvea said.
'I know.' I replied, grinning widely, hoping she'd forget that I just appeared out of nowhere.
'So you think it's funny, spreading false rumors?' Oh, that's what it's all about…
'What is this all about?' Elanor asked as she looked from me to Elvea and back. 'If you want me to leave…'
'I think I have to talk to Endomiel alone…' Elvea said as she looked at me. Uh-oh… She dragged me off. 'Why did you tell everybody Éomer and I were getting married?'
'I didn't tell anybody anything! Arwen did everything!' True, I didn't say anything about them!
'Sure Endomiel. She didn't even know
about me and Éomer in the first place!'
'Well you deserved it! You shouldn't have blackmailed me! You wouldn't even have
gotten back together if it wasn't for me! Now deal with it!'
'Of course we would've gotten back
together without you. In fact, if it wasn't for you, we'd already gotten back
together yesterday. I think it's really childish of you to do such a thing.'
'Not my problem.'
'Oh grow up!' Grow up? Grow up? I am not childish! ARG! I have such an urge to
stick my tongue out to him… I glared at her. She glared back at me. I kept
glaring. And glaring… and glaring… she's kind of right tho… it is kind
of my fault… I looked at the ground. Wait, no, I didn't want to do that! Now
she probably thinks she out-stared me! So annoying… She shrugged and walked to
the doors. Now what could I do? Kinda boring here… where's Legolas anyway? I
walked around in the school for a while, when I saw Legolas walk around a
corner. I hid myself behind a plant and waited for him to pass by. When the
footsteps came closer, I jumped around his neck and kissed him. He pushed me
away. I opened my eyes.
'Why did you do that?' Faramir asked. Faramir? Where did he come from? My face flushed. 'I mean, not like I mind or anything, but aren't you with Legolas?' I quickly stepped back.
'Uh, yeah, sorry, I uh… I thought you were Legolas…' My face flushed to an even deeper shade of red. He looked me in the eyes. 'I really did! He was walking right here a few seconds ago! I was waiting for him behind this plant! I really was!' Faramir looked like he didn't believe me. 'I'd never cheat on Legolas.' I said. I really meant that. I'd never ever cheat on him. Never.
'It's okay. Nobody saw it, and I won't tell.'
'Thanks Faramir.' I said as I ran off to the place Legolas was a few seconds ago. In the distance, I could see the door of his room fall shut. I ran over to the room and jumped in. I looked around the room, and saw Legolas. 'Hey Leg.' I said, catching my breath.
'Hi.' He said.
'Wanna uh… go for a walk?' He looked at me. 'Come on, I won't bite.' Frodo snickered.
'Shut up midget.' Legolas said.
'Right back at ya dork.'
'Leg?'
'Yeah, whatever. I'll walk with you.' I smiled. As we walked through the corridor, I grabbed his hand with mine and put my head on his shoulder.
'I couldn't find you.' I whispered. 'Where were you all afternoon?'
'All over the place.'
'Oh.' I sighed. 'I missed you.'
'I bet you had something better to do.'
'How do you mean?'
'Never mind.' He shrugged. Then, some cold metal touched my wrist. I looked down. Was he wearing a bracelet?
'Are you wearing a bracelet?' I asked. He didn't answer. 'Where did you get the bracelet?' I brought his had up higher and inspected the bracelet. It was… weird… I felt so... magical… Still, he didn't answer. 'Where did you get it?' I asked again, a stricter tone in my voice.
'Elvea gave it to me. She said it protects me against evil.' Against evil? He should be protected against good! Good is so… good. The bracelet has to come off.
'It's kind of a… uh… prissy bracelet, don't you think?'
'I like it.'
'I think it makes you look like a girl.' No reaction. 'A real warrior wouldn't wear something like this…' I tried. He stopped walking. I tried to take the bracelet of his wrist. *KABOEM*
'AHHH!!!!!!' Somehow, a gigantic force came out of nowhere and flung me against the wall. What happened? Where did all the power come from? Why doesn't the stupid bracelet just come off? Legolas knelt before me.
'Are you okay?'
'I'm… fine…' I coughed. We wiped the black dust of my face. My hair was all tangled up and dusty, the dust was also all over my clothes and there was a me-shaped white spot on the wall, around me it was black. I got up, still coughing.
'Are you sure you're fine?'
'I think I'm going to take a shower…' I stumbled over to my room, leaving a very confused Legolas behind. I walked into the room and glared at Elvea. It's all her fault! She is the one who caused all this! I walked into the bathroom and took a shower. I put on my t-shirt and stepped into bed. Everybody was sleeping, except me. Why do they to bed that early? Or am I just late? Whatever. Anyway, got to sleep now, school in the morning. :o(
Namarië!
