Joelle opened her eyes to two huge brown eyes. She screamed and sat up suddenly frightening Saver to the floor. Joelle looked at the owner of the eyes and saw a small child, no wait.. a small person no taller than 4"2'. If she remembered correctly this creature was a halfling, or hobbit.
"I..I'm so sorry miss, didn't mean to frighten you" she said stumbling over her words. " Its ok, you just scared me" replied Joelle "Who are you?" "My name is Katie" said the Hobbit "Legolas asked me to find you so he could take you on a ride"
"You know Legolas?" Joelle asked. "Yes, we have been friends since my cousin Frodo went to the Undying Lands" said Katie. "Oh. tell him I will be ready in 10 minutes" Joelle replied. "Yes miss" said Katie as she shut the door behind her.
Joelle got out of bed and walked over to the beautifully engraved wardrobe. She opened the doors and found dresses along with breeches, shirts and tunics. *now what to wear* she thought to herself *hmmm*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MEANWHILE..
Legolas was down in the courtyard waiting for Joelle *hmm Katie said Joelle would be down here 5 minutes ago..* his thoughts were interrupted as he heard footsteps coming towards him. He turned to see Joelle walking towards him with an outfit of a dark green tunic, a tan shirt under it, and brown breeches, her hair was cascading over her shoulders, in total. she looked beautiful. She had Saver with her he noticed.
Joelle smiled as she saw Legolas holding two beauties of horses *the horses look almost as good as he does* she thought. "Hullo Legolas" she said shyly, she walked over to him and the horses "which is mine?" she asked. He showed her the white horse that was even more beautiful than the finest Arabian. "She is a gift" he said "she is yours from now on" he said. "B...but she is surly to fine for a nobody like me." Joelle stated. Legolas took Joelle's hand and gently pressed his lips to her silky skin "She is perfect in beauty, power, and grace for you" he said as his lips parted from her skin and stood up straight.
Joelle felt heat rising to her cheeks. She knew better than to argue with him so she mounted her horse. "So, where are we going?" she asked. "That mellonamin is a surprise" he said mounting his horse and smiling at her pout.
30 minutes later a river came into view *for some reason that river looks strangely familiar* she thought "Hey isn't that.?" she asked out loud. "Yes, this is where I found you, I thought you might like to go for a swim?" he replied "Yes, I would love to go for a swim" she said "but I don't have a swim suite.". "Oh don't be such a wimp" he said using one of the words she taught him "You did NOT just call me a wimp!" Joelle said angrily pushing him into the water clothes and all. She turned to walk away but she got pulled into the water by something around her ankles, Joelle turned to face Legolas just inches away.
The air seemed to crackle with electricity. He shook his head slightly to snap out of his trance and swam away. "Oh no" she called "you don't get away with that THAT easily." She swam after him chasing him through the water *boy, that guy is FAST* she thought. He dove under and she followed he was only a yard away now and she was turning purple from lack of oxygen. They finally resurfaced in a cave only accessible through the water.
She looked around in awe at the glistening gems and crystals in the cave. "WOW this is beau-ti-ful!" she exclaimed. Around the sides of the cave there was a ridge of rock that she went to sit on. He swam over to her and sat down next to her. "Look at me Joelle" she looked up into his crystal blue eyes and suddenly their noses were centimeters away. She heard a loud splash and turned her head in surprise she saw a form sliding into the water. She gasped and Legolas looked where she was looking and saw the form. He dove in and emerged with the form.
He brought it over to where they were siting and laid it down. Joelle gasped yet again when she saw who it was. "Carlin? No, I.it cant be." Joelle held the nose of the girl closed and did CPR. Suddenly water came squirting out of Carlin's mouth and she sat up coughing.
"Carlin?" Joelle said. "J.Joelle" Carlin stuttered "Is it really you?" "Yes Car its really me" Joelle replied shakily. "Ahem" said a voice behind Joelle startling her. She turned to see Legolas, "Oh, I'm sorry Legolas, forgot you were there." she said "Quite alright .now, who is this? And why do girls you know keep falling into this lake?' Legolas asked.
Joelle took a deep breath and replied "This Legolas, is my sister, Carlin. We were in the orphanage together till we were 6 then she was adopted and we haven't seen each other since then, till now at least, as to your other question I don't know" turning to Carlin she asked, "How did you get here?"
"Well my adoptive parents brought me to the orphanage to visit you, and everyone else was eating, so I went upstairs and figured you went through the floor so I went through and I blacked out." Carlin said "and did you say Legolas as in LOTR Legolas?" "Yes" replied Joelle.
"b.but that's not possible" Said Carlin and she fainted again. "We need to get her out of here" Joelle pointed out. "Yes, it is only a 1 minute swim to the other side." said Legolas. "I will take her feet and you take her arms." said Joelle as she took her shirt and ripped a piece off and tied it around Carlin's nose and mouth. "To keep her from breathing in water" said Joelle when she saw Legolas looking at her quizzically. "Oh" he said still doubtful. Joelle grabbed Carlin's feet and let Legolas lead them out of the cave. After a minute and fifteen seconds, they resurfaced and swam to the bank of the river. They created a sling out of the dry clothes that Legolas brought and used vines to tie it in-between the horses. They placed her in the sling and rode towards Rivendell.
