High School. Mordel's POV.
Disclaimer: I only own my Characters. This is entirely AU.

"All the small things True care, truth brings I'll take, one
lift Your ride, best trip Always, I know You'll be at my show
Watching, waiting, commiserating Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn
the lights off, carry me home Na, na"
'What the Fuck?' I thought. I looked at the clock. It said
5:45. I looked over to my stereo and there stood my sister.
"Nimaglar, why the hell are you waking me up this
early?" I asked.
"Mordel, don't you remember today is the day we go to
school?" Nimaglar said all too cheerfully.
"Yea, I'll be up in a minute." I told her. The
second she left "sucker." I fell back to sleep.
"MORDEL CELEBNAR, YOU GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!" my
mother screamed
I mumbled some curses as I climbed out of bed. My parents
hate me. They love my sister. I should say half-sister because we
have the same mother, but different fathers. I got named Mordel,
which means Dark horror. My sister's name means white brilliance. I
think they got the dark part of my name from my hair I have really
dark brown hair. My father has dark hair. He's not a human though.
Elves don't usually have dark hair. I guess I'm special.
I used to live with my dad in Gondor. He was friends with the
steward of Gondor. His name was like Denethor or something. So I grew
up with Boromir and Faramir. They're Denethor's two sons. I was happy
until orcs started attacking Minas Tirith. My dad and I moved into a
village away from Minas Tirith. We thought we were safe there. The
orcs apparently couldn't defeat Minas Tirith so they started
attacking the smaller villages. My father died when they attacked my
village. At the time I was about five. The only reason I wasn't
killed was because a group of warriors from Minas Tirith showed up. I
was brought back to Denethor. He was going to keep me there and raise
me with Boromir and Faramir, but the warrior who rescued me said we
should at least contact my mom. She demanded that I would be sent to
her to raise me. So I was brought to Mirkwood, where my mom lives. I
only went back to Gondor once after I went to live with my mom. I
haven't heard from Faramir for about 3 years!
and I haven't heard from Boromir in ten.
Back to the present I got up and got dressed. I put on a pair
of red windbreakers and a blue baseball t-shirt with red
three-quarter sleeves with the word trouble in red glitter on it.
Then I went down stairs.
"Here." My mother said coldly as she handed me pop
tarts. At least they're cooked this time. After breakfast, I went and
put my makeup and shoes on. I put my hair up in a bun. I grabbed some
of my stuff and went downstairs. I put it in the wagon. Once I got
all my stuff in, I went to check my room to see if I left anything. I
didn't.
"Yo Nimaglar, You ready?" I yelled.
"Probably not." A male voice said behind me.
I turned and saw Legolas. He and I are best friends. When I
moved to Mirkwood from Gondor, he was really nice to me and showed me
around. We just kind of hit it off.
"You got all your stuff?" I asked him as I helped
him put his stuff in the wagon.
"Yea." He said.
"Shocking. You didn't forget anything and you're on
time." I said amazed. Legolas usually either forgets something
or is late.
"Ha ha very funny." He said sarcastically.
"Nimaglar, hurry up!" I yelled.
"Yea Nimaglar, are you ready yet?" Legolas yelled.
"I'm here." Nimaglar said.
I rolled my eyes. She is such a ditz. Legolas and I grabbed
her bags in the wagon.
"Legolas, you brought the amp right?" I asked.
We both play the guitar. He's got an amp I don't so we share
his. We tried to get my sister to play, but she wouldn't.
"Do you have everything?" I asked Nimaglar.
"Yes." She said annoyed that I was making her drive
the wagon and Legolas and I got to ride our horses.
I have a black horse, Legolas has a tan horse and my sister
has a white horse. My horse's name is Morkhelek or Dark Ice. I got
that by combining my name and my father's name. Mordel and
Carankhelek. Legolas' horse is named Arien after the Maiar of the
sun. Nimaglar's horse is named Nenuial, which means water twilight.
The ride was peaceful until I started singing.
"He was boy. She was a girl. Can I make it any more
obvious? He was a punk. She did ballet. What more can I say? He
wanted her. She'd never tell secretly she wanted him as well. But all
of her friends. Stuck up their nose. They had a problem with his
baggy clothes."
Legolas rolled his eyes. He was used to me doing really
stupid shit. By my standards this is very normal for me anyway. My
sister just kept telling me to shut-up. Who really cares about her
though?
"Oh, You're such a great singer Mordel." Said a
sarcastic female voice. I turned my head. It was my friend Eilin.
She's a human. She has long curly red hair and bright emerald green
eyes. She acts more like an elf than I do. Her mother was a hippie so
she likes the earth, inscent candles, and stuff like that.
Now that I think about most of my friends are humans. The
only other elves I hang out with are Legolas, some of his friends,
and a couple girl elves from Mirkwood. That's really it. I just don't
like dwarfs. The ones I have met are arrogant and they hate elves.
It's not that I don't like hobbits I just haven't met that many.
"Hey Eilin. How was your summer?" I asked.
"It was great. I went to Rohan to visit Eowyn and
Celebwen. I also went to Gondor to Malelen." Eilin replied.
I can't believe she visited the whole girl section of the
crew. The only ones she didn't visit were Tindomerel and I. None of
us really like Tindomerel that much. She is one of the girl elves
from Mirkwood. She's nice and I like her but she gets annoying after
awhile. Anyway, I was kind of pissed that I'm one of the few she
didn't visit. Wait, she didn't mention anyone from Mirkwood that she
visited. Is she just prejudice against Mirkwood elves? Now, I'm
pretty pissed. She'll get tired soon. I'll just ignore her until
then.
"Who's the twerp?" Eilin asked.
'Hey Legolas and I are the only ones that can call her names!' I
thought to myself.
"That's my sister, Nimaglar. Don't call her a
twerp." I said coldly.
"So, you're going into eighth grade?" She asked Nimaglar.
"No, I'm a freshman." Nimaglar corrected her.
"Why didn't you start last year?"
"I wanted to stay in Mirkwood last year."
"You're kinda dorky, did you know that?"
"Lenémë ta. Arata ná lá alcarinqua." I said to Nimaglar.
(Leave it. She is not bright.)
Nimaglar and Legolas laughed a little.
Eilin wasn't too happy. She doesn't understand Quenya. She
really isn't that smart. She does well in school. I do better though.
However, I get in a lot more trouble so she has more study time then
I do. She doesn't live in detention.
"I'm getting tired. Can we rest awhile?" Eilin asked.
"You can." I said still pissed at her.
"What?!?" She asked shocked and pissed.
"You heard me." I snapped at her.
"Tulin or Nimaglar. Nar le hótuli Legolas?" I asked
and commanded the other two.
(Come on Nimaglar. Are you coming Legolas?)
"Uma." Legolas replied.
(Yes)
I started riding the other two followed. First we were riding
in silence. Mainly because they both knew when I got that pissed to
give me time to cool off.
"What happened back there?" Legolas asked.
"Did you notice that she happened to visit all of the
girls in our group except for the ones in Mirkwood? I can understand
not going to see some of the girls in Mirkwood and not seeing any of
the guys. She said that her and I were best friends. I can't believe
she did that! Does she have a problem with people or something? Is it
because I'm an elf? Then she went and insulted Nimaglar. I can do
that because I'm her sister. You can because you're practically
family. What made her think she had the right to do that? Regardless
of what she wants to think she isn't princess of Middle-Earth. Watch
she probably became friends with Arwen." I ranted. I was
starting to get upset.
Legolas stopped his. I stopped mine. We both got off. He gave
me a hug and told me it was going to be okay. This brought back
painful memories from eighth grade.
I had a boyfriend in eighth grade named Estel. He was a
human. The problem was that Arwen Undomiel, daughter of the
headmaster, also liked him. Estel is the headmaster's, Elrond's,
foster son. When Elrond found out about this whole problem, He sent
Estel to an all boy's school in Rohan. I didn't see him after that.
We never broke up. He told me that he'd always be with me. I wasn't
sure if he'd stick to it. In the beginning, we wrote to each other as
often as possible. After awhile, his letters were few and far
between. One day, he stopped writing all together. I assumed he found
some one else so I began to date again. Tons of boyfriends later I
still couldn't find anyone to take Estel's place. Now I'm a senior
and I promised myself I would find someone this year.
Legolas holding me and telling me it would be all right
brought back the painful memories because it reminded me of Estel.
Estel used to do the same thing when I got upset. Eru, I loved that
boy. I have to get over it though. I'll probably never see him again.
Elrond won't put him back in my school. I really have to stop
dwelling in the past.
"Thanks Legolas." I whispered to him before we broke apart.
Soon we were riding again. A little while later we saw
Rivendell. The school was set somewhat far away from the actual city.
We're allowed to go into the city on weekends and twice during the
weekdays. I sneak out and go to the club a lot. I just really like
clubs. We are finally at the school.
We got our stuff out of the wagon after we had put the horses
away. Legolas is down the hall from me. We took my sister to her
room.
"If you need us, you can come get us. Okay?" I told her.
"Yea."
No matter how annoying she is and how much more are parents
like her, she's still my sister. Therefore, I have to be nice to her.
Also, I remember my first year here. I wish I had had an older sister
with me.
Legolas and I had to go to the top floor. My sister was on
one of the lower floors. I was happy I only had to share my room with
one person this year. Unfortunately, it could be someone I hate. When
you're a senior it's two to a room, for juniors it's three, so on and
so fourth. Hey, separate rooms this year!
"Hello?" I called nobody answered.
I checked out both rooms. I decided I liked the one on the
right better. So that's the one I picked. There were white boards on
the doors. I wrote 'Mordel's room. Buzz off!' Truly a me thing to say
or write. See I not a girly girl. I'm slightly hardcore. Notice I
don't say I am hardcore. I am only slightly hardcore. I'm hardcore
compared to most of the girls in this school though.
I noticed one of my bags was missing. So, I went to Legolas'
room. It wasn't Legolas who answered the door. It was Eomer. Eomer is
Eowyn's brother.
"Hey Eomer, is Legolas there?" I asked.
"Yea. Legolas, Mordel is here to see you." Eomer
called over his shoulder.
"Is Eowyn here yet?" I asked him.
"I dunno. I left before her."
"Oh."
"Hey Mordel." Legolas said.
"Hey Legolas, did you take one of my bags by accident?"
"No. Maybe your sister did."
"I'll go ask her. Bye guys!" I said as turned to go
to Nimaglar's room. I was walking down the hall when to guys bumped
into me. They looked alike. Must be brothers I thought. They both
were humans and had muscular builds. They both had brown hair. One
had Lighter hair and was taller.
"Watch where you're going." The shorter one snapped.
"Fuck off." I told him.
"I'm sorry. Do you know how to get to room E3?"Said
the taller one.
"Yea, that's right next to my room. It's down the hall
and on the left side. I'm guessing you're new I haven't seen you
before." I said.
"This is our first year." The taller one said.
"I'm Mordel. If you need anything I'm right across the
hall, literally. I've got to go now. Bye." I said
"Thanks, bye." Taller one said.
I went to my sister's room and I heard yelling inside so I
opened the door. I saw three of the five roommates yelling at each
other.
"Is there a problem here?" I said loudly enough to
be heard over them.
"Yea, we all want the same bed." Said a human with
blonde hair.
"Okay, do either of you two that aren't fighting want
the bed?" I asked.
A hobbit girl said she would like to have it. So I gave it to
her. Then told the fighting ones to go to random beds.
I went over to my sister and asked her about the bag. Turns
out she had it. So she gave it to me. Right before I left I told them
not to switch beds unless both people willingly agreed to it. I went
back up to my room.
Right after I put my bag in my room, my roommate showed up.
It was my friend Celebwen. The one Eilin visited.
Celebwen is very pretty. She's human, but looks like an elf.
She has long straight blonde hair and sapphire blue eyes. She was
thin but not anorexic. Everyone considered her to be beautiful. Then
again people say I would be pretty if I cared about my looks. Well,
that's kind of true. I am pretty but, I don't really care what people
think of me so I don't' care about my looks too much.
Celebwen and I fight a lot. We act like sisters. We are so
different that we argue constantly, but that's why we like each other
so much.
"Oh great, the preppie for a roommate." I said when
I saw her.
"Oh no, the detention queen." She said.
We both cracked up. It's an inside joke. I hold the title
detention queen and she is very preppie so I call her the preppie.
"Which room is mine?" she asked.
"The one on the left."
"Thanks."
The coolest thing though is there is like a living room.
Okay, see theirs is room and then on the far wall there are two
doors, which lead to the bedrooms. In the room that not a bedroom,
there is a couch television, bookcase, all sorts of stuff. We each
had our own bathrooms. I went into my room and started unpacking.
There was suddenly a knock at the door.
"I got it." I yelled to Celebwen.
There was a guy standing there. He looked familiar but I
wasn't sure if I knew him or not.
"May I help you?" I asked.
"Uh...yea, is this Mordel Celebnar's room?"
"Yea, I'm Mordel." I said giving him a strange look.
"I'm Estel." The guy said.
"Yea, sure." I said as I rolled my eyes. Did he
really expect me to believe him? Arwen probably put this guy up to
it.
"It's really me, Mordel." He said.
"Okay if you're really Estel what did you tell me right
before you got sent to Rohan?"
"That I'd always be with you."
"Where did we first kiss?"
"In the school gym while I was helping you with
basketball."
"What is the purple deodorant incident?"
"Someone switched my deodorant which when I sweated
turned purple. When I sweated I had purple marks under my arm."
He is getting these all right. I know something only the real
Estel would know.
"Who switched your deodorant?"
"You and Legolas."
"Oh my Eru! It's really you!" I squealed as I gave
him a hung. Then I hit him in the head.
"What the hell was that for?" He asked rubbing his head.
"Why did you stop writing to me?" I asked.
"What are you talking about? You stopped writing to
me." He said. It suddenly dawned on me.
"Arwen." I said.
"What does she have to do with this?" He asked. You
could tell he was confused. I told him about how she had liked him
and she probably stopped the letters.
"That doesn't sound like Arwen."
"Yes it does."
"Hey Mordel, I'm getting something to eat, do you want to
come?" Celebwen asked.
"I guess." I answered.
"Estel do you want to come?" I asked.
"Yea."
"Celebwen, Estel. Estel Celebwen. I just want to change.
Wait for me." I said as I ran to my room. I threw on a pair of
jean shorts and a white tee shirt that said Mind... on the front with
a cartoon tiger sitting there peacefully and on the back the tiger
was ready to pounce and said ...your own business. I took the bun out
combed my hair and put it in a clip. I did all this rather quickly
because I'm an elf.
"Ready guys." I said as I walked out of my room.
The three of us walked down to the cafeteria. We got our
food. Celebwen started to walk to where Eilin was eating and looking
very lonely.
"I won't sit with her." I said to Celebwen. She
gave me a shocked look. I really did feel bad for Eilin but she still
acted like a bitch. I wasn't quite ready to forgive her yet. I really
felt bad for Celebwen she had to choose between friends. She chose to
sit with me. Legolas, Eomer, Eowyn, and my friend, Malelen, were
already at a table so we sat at that table.
Malelen is a human from Gondor. She had black hair. Her hair
is actually light brown. She dyes it. It is to her shoulder. She has
light green eyes. I have pale blue eyes. She is really into fashion.
She is tall for a human.
The height order for the main girls in our group from tallest
to shortest is Me, Malelen, Celebwen, Eowyn, and Eilin.
"Hey guys. This is Estel." I said.
"I don't know the one with black hair."
"Hi, I'm Malelen. Welcome to our school." Malelen
said. You could always count on her to be nice.
Estel and Legolas started talking about everything since they
had seen each other. Malelen, Eomer, and Eowyn started talking about
the ride here. Celebwen and I were talking about why I wasn't talking
to Eilin. I don't think she took sides. I didn't really expect her
to.
"Do you guys know who Eilin is rooming with?"
Malelen asked.
Nobody knew except her and Eowyn that means they're probably
roommates whoever rooms with Malelen always knows the latest news and
gossip. Malelen always knows everything.
"She's rooming with Doredhel. You know that Airhead
friend of Arwen's." Malelen said.
Most of them felt bad for her, Estel looked confused, Legolas
and I laughed. They all looked at us strangely. After I finished
eating whatever it was, I went back to the dorm.
The shorter guy out of the two guys I met before was outside
his dorm. It was kind of weird because he was just standing there. He
wasn't trying to get in. He wasn't going anywhere.
"Do you need help?" I asked him.
"NO." He snapped at me.
"Eru, you have an attitude problem."
"I do not." He said as he made a scowl.
I laughed. He reminded me of Boromir. I missed him a lot.
"What's so funny?" he asked
"Nothing. You just reminded me of someone I used to
know. Are you sure you don't help?" I said.
"I don't need your help."
"Fine. I'll leave."
I went inside my room got into my pajamas, got a blanket, and
picked a movie. I chose Scary Movie 2. I heard the short guy cursing
about the stupid door and key. He must have been locked out. I got a
hairpin from my room.
"You're locked out aren't you?" I asked.
"I forgot my key so."
"Move."
"Why?"
"Because I'll open the door for you."
With reluctance, he moved. I started picking the lock with
the hairpin after a minute I got it opened.
"Thanks." He mumbled almost incomprehensibly.
"You're welcome."
I went back into my dorm and started to watch my movie. About
five minutes in Celebwen came in.
"Hey." I called to her.
"Whatcha watchin?" She asked.
"Scary Movie 2"
"I love that movie." She said as she ran to change
into her pajamas. A minute later she joined me on the couch. When the
movie was over we got up.
"Damn that movie's funny." I said.
"Yea." She said with a yawn.
"Night." I said as I walked to my room.
"G'night."
I fell asleep almost instantly when I laid down on the bed.
It's great to be back.
