Same declaimers apply throughout the story; I own nothing except my original characters like Kevin or Eleanor.

I am sorry about the formatting of the story. I want to thank Hana for bringing it to my attention.  Also, the relationship between Eleanor and Bilbo will be revealed in later chapters.   Sorry about the inconveniences. @_@^

The Double Cross-Chapter 5

Elves came rushing out of the nearby balconies; most of them seemed to be furious to be disturbed so early in the morning.  She jumped from Legolas' balcony to the one next to his.  She pushed past many curious elves and opened the door.  She was on a rampage when she started hunting for her prey-Legolas.  If someone is to look for her, they will have no problem since she left a whole trail of broken objects.

She located him in front of a wooden door, walking back and forth and talking to himself as he rehearsed.  "Father, it is different from what it seems…No, that's bad…Hell, it's all her fault!"

"Legolas!" Eleanor barked as her fist connected with his face.  The force brought the surprise Legolas to the ground. "How dare you lock me up!"

"You crazy woman!" He screamed as he kicked her, knocking her off balance.  They were fighting on the floor again.  Both of them were rolling around as each tried to get on top of each other, breaking expensive artworks and vases along the way. The only difference was that both of them were aiming at each other's throat this time.

Then the wooden door beside them opened, revealing the man whom got the guards out of Legolas' room.

"You two have caused quite a commotion," King Thranduil said with a tint of amusement in his voice.  He was leaning comfortably on his doorframe; he looked at his son who had a black eye and the young lady who looked just as bad as his son but still managed to smile innocently at him.

          "Father!" Legolas protested.  He began to explain himself as he saw that many elves had gathered around him, "Look at her father, she is a witch!  She was able to enter my room at the middle of the night without my notice!  I was just trying to hold her down since I considered her as an intruder.  She was pretending to communicate with someone by using a small rectangle box.  Later she opened another box and light started to come out of it.  Now, she even tried to murder me, she is insane!"

          "Oh?" Thranduil said, "What do you have to say about this, my lady?"

          "Me?" Eleanor said as she glared at Legolas before she stared shyly at the ground.  Payback time, "Oh…right…um… I was from another world…and…um…IT JUST HAPPENED that I landed on Prince Legolas' bed…and then…um…we were having sex… I MEAN FIGHTING…that's right…um…"

Eleanor raised her head and saw a wide eyed King and the open mouths of other Elves.  She can't contain her laugher any longer.  She burst out laughing, she laughed tears started to come out.

          Legolas was trying hard not to raise his hands to strangle her.  Oh my god! She's still playing around at a moment like this! I am going to kill her this time.  Correction, I am going to kill her properly this time.

          "Looks like I went too far," Eleanor said as she continued to laugh, "What he said is true, except the part where he said I am crazy and me being a witch. That was his own opinion, how he came up with that is something I do not know.  But I didn't enter his room and land on his bed on purpose.  I was fighting with my competitor until we both fell off a bridge.  When I regained my senses, I was already here.  How I managed to arrive here was most likely Bilbo's doing.  All I know was that I must deliver that box of mine to a place called Rivendell immediately.  Or else, I might never be able to return to my world."

          Legolas recovered from his shock and yelled, "Not a chance in hell are you coming with me to Rivendell!"  Ignoring the gasp from others, he ran back to his room to check his weaponry and his gears.  His bow and arrow glittered under the sun, as if tempting him to use it against a particular person, a woman to be exact.

It was too late to start the journey now but he will leave at the break of dawn tomorrow.  He must leave before she tags along or else he can guarantee that only one of them will make it to Rivendell.

          After a moment of silence, Thranduil cleared his throat, "So you know Bilbo Baggins.  You can accompany my son only under one condition.  It is under his approval."

          "I can go alone."

          "He is heading there tomorrow.  You'll need someone to guide you.  Also, you won't be able to make it out of Mirkwood if you are going alone.  You will be killed long before that.  Only my son can ensure your safety."

          "He is the same as me, maybe even worse.  What difference does it make."

          "We, as elves, are known for our technique on bows and our light, swift movements."

          However, Eleanor concluded that Thranduil only wanted to turn Legolas' weaknesses into strong qualities since he was his son.  In her own translation, the true meanings behind Thranduil's words are: His light body will be blown away by the first strong wind which means he is feeble.  Since he depended on his weapons to make him strong, he has no personal strength whatsoever which make him practically useless.  Also a coward since he flees quickly with the swift movements of his.  It all narrows down to one word: pathetic.

          "My decision is made; you cannot leave this place unless you are traveling with my son.  Because of he was delayed today, he will depart tomorrow.  You got one day to convince him to let you go with him."

         Shit, like that's going to happen.  But I got some tricks up my sleeves that might do the trick.  After all, I didn't become a Get Backer for nothing.

          Kelvin looked at his surrounding, he was in a bedroom.  Although it cannot be compared to his own, it might be the best thing he got since he came to this queer place.  There was a small toilet at the corner of the room with flies swirling on top and a dim light coming from the oil lamp.  The bed was made of hard wooden boards and has no cover.

He remembered that he landed right on the hard marble floor.  The place looked like some court in a castle but instead of looking bright, majestic, and magnificent, it was quite dark.  The only source of light came from small candles that looked as if they were about to go out any second.  There was a man standing in front of him.  He looked old and full of wisdom with his long white beard.  His name was Saruman and the old man told him that he is currently in Isengard.

Kelvin felt the darkness which surrounded that man even though he was dressed in white.  He knew the old man is more dangerous than he looked.  There is no chance of escaping from that old man.  It was clear to Kelvin that if he is to refuse to follow Saurman's orders, Saruman will kill him without a second thought.  Still the most unnerving part was that Saurman mentioned about Eleanor; about how she was suppose to be here since he summoned them both.

Kelvin will be leaving tomorrow to find her.  After, he was to bring her and her possessions to Saruman.  Kelvin is a businessman; he won't do anything that didn't benefit himself.  Saruman had given him a small group of hunters to be under his control for his search.  From what he observed, a war will most likely take place soon.  Kelvin always loves to be on the winning side.  Even if it means to exterminate his comrades then so be it.
