Chapter 6The next morning I awoke early and stuffed my letters under my bed. The necklace I took into the bathroom with me and set it on the counter. Arwen must have already had a bath set up for me. Gratefully I sank into the water and closed my eyes. The water was scented with lavender, as was the shampoo. I stepped out of the bath and grabbed a towel. Quickly I scrubbed the excess water out of my hair and let it hang down.
I walked out of the bathroom and heard someone knocking on the door. I opened it and admitted Arwen and another elf. Both carried stacks of clothes and they set them on the bed. "Ariel, this is Leona. My father assigned her to help you with whatever she could."
" Hey, Leona." I said. The girl smiled shyly at me and bowed. "You don't have to bow." I continued. She nodded and bowed again. I turned to Arwen. "How much time do I have until breakfast?"
" Long enough. You may want to wear something a little more fancy, King Thranduil and Prince Legolas are going to be dining with us, but my father wants all of us- including you, to come to his private room. We can dine there and talk."
I rolled my eyes. "All right." I sighed. She smiled and walked out the door. I turned to Leona. " Well, the only thing I could use help on is picking a dress. I didn't wear dresses where I was before." I turned and shuffled through the clothes, and found a robe. I wrapped it around me.
"You didn't wear dresses where you were from?" she asked incredulous. I nodded and she shook her head. " What did you wear?"
"Jeans- I mean breeches. They were so much more comfortable. I didn't like the dresses because I can't do stuff in them. It is to hard to run and well, do anything." I sorted through the dresses and Leona came up beside me. She picked up a forest green one and held it up. It was simple and pretty, not too fancy but nice all the same . I smiled at it and walked into the bathroom and changed. When I walked out I saw Leona beckon me over to the vanity. I sat down and she began to comb my hair. I have no talent with doing hair, the only thing I do know how to do is put my hair up in to a ponytail. Big whoop.
She pulled up the top half of my hair and braided it. Then she twisted the whole thing in to a tight bun. The whole process was only 5 minutes at most. I smiled. "How do all you people do that? I have no talent with hair and…" I left off with a smirk. I stood and faced her.
"Perhaps it is because I an 2962 years old, and have had a lot of practice." She said dryly. I felt my jaw drop and she smirked. " What?"
" I had forgotten that elves live so long. I had read that they live long, but I had forgotten it."
She smiled and a knock came at the door. I smiled at her. " I can have some things in here after you get back in. I think you will like them." She commented as she got the door. I turned to the door and gaped. Legolas stood at the door. He smiled at me.
" Arwen asked me if I could be so kind as to escort you to Lord Elrond's rooms. She seemed to think that you would get lost. I wonder where she got that idea." He grinned at me as I remembered. I had gotten lost yesterday. I smiled at him.
" Oh yeah. *ahem* well. I don't know where she would have gotten that idea." I blushed slightly. I met his eyes and smiled. He held out an arm and I placed my hand on it. We walked down the hall in silence. I could barely contain my glee. Here I was in Middle Earth, and I was walking down the hall, in Rivendale. With the most handsome elf I have ever hoped to lay eyes on. Score for me.
Oh my gosh- that has to be the most boring chapter ever. I just got home from school and then had to get off. I was at a loss for ideas and this is the product…. Sad I know. But the next chapter will be better I promise!
