High school Mordel's POV
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except my characters.
A/N- I'm sorry it took me so long. I was sick, grounded, and had play tryouts. I would have written while I was sick but I was seeing Pink Hippos and dancing monkeys.
***********************************************************
I heard screaming in the distance. I looked at Glorfindel. He was listening. We stood there as if waiting for something. We saw a half sobbing-half screaming girl running towards us. I recognized her she was talking to Mordel during language arts. Her name is like Silwing or Silwind. I don't know something like that. We ran to get her. She was so freaked.
"Mordel...over there... a thing...blood everywhere." She said panting.
"Where is Mordel?" Glorfindel asked sternly. She pointed behind her. Glorfindel nodded and took off in that direction. I started to run but then she grabbed me and pleaded for me to stay. She didn't want to be alone.
"Look, Elrond, Celebrian, Gandalf, Eowyn, and Estel are here somewhere and there some elven archers of Mirkwood. Go find one of them." I said and I grabbed my arm and took off. I ran as fast as I could.
I hope Mordel is okay. I can't believe I said that stuff to her. If she dies, I wouldn't be able to live with myself. This is all Mordel's fault. When I tried to give her an explanation for the Arwen thing she wouldn't listen. This whole thing could have been avoided. Maybe I should have told her before, I've liked Arwen since sophomore year. I could have gone out with her then. I'm a prince. A very good looking prince. I knew Mordel would go psycho on me. Oh my fucking Eru! She was right. I just realized it. She said I always blame someone else for things I do. It's my fault this happened and I'm blaming her. Mordel could be dead and I'm still blaming her. I saw Glorfindel and five or six elven archers standing over Mordel. Glorfindel was doing CPR on her. He motioned to one of the archers to pick her up. The archer picked her up and ran as fast as he could towards the school.
"What's wrong with her?" I asked Glorfindel frantically.
"Legolas calm down." He said. I took a couple deep breaths.
"Tell me what's wrong with Mordel?" I commanded.
"She is severely injured. The creature Gollum bit a fairly big piece of her side off. She is suffering blood loss. She was barely stable enough to travel. I don't know if she'll be okay. It's fifty-fifty. I'm not a doctor though." Glorfindel said gloomily. My mouth dropped open. I stood there shocked. I was picked up by one of the archers. He is my personal guard at home. We finally got back to the school. I walked to my dorm. Eomer was there, comforting his hysterical sister. I collapsed on the floor. Tears slowly ran down my cheek. Mordel was practically everything to me. I'd give my life for her to be all right.
"Legolas, what happened to Mordel?" Eomer said. I looked at him. I didn't see the friend I used to. I saw someone who is demanding information then going to throw me back into the cold.
"She was attacked." I said weakly. Eowyn stopped crying for a second and looked at me in horror.
"She's suffering major blood loss. Glorfindel said it's a fifty-fifty chance she'll pull through." I finished before getting up and walking to my room. I know Eowyn and Mordel were close, but Mordel is everything to me. Eowyn has her brother and her family. I have Mordel and now Arwen. I picked up my guitar and plugged it into the amp. I started playing and singing, "She hates me." I don't know why. When I get upset I think of that song. I stopped. I should go check on Mordel. She probably hasn't waken up yet. I need to get there before Estel. I got up and sprinted out the door. Estel will probably blame me for this. He could kill me. I started walking faster and faster. Eowyn knew, she'd tell Estel. Arwen was standing in front of the stairs looking worried.
"Legolas!" She said excited and relieved.
"Uh...hi Arwen." I said. I didn't sound to happy.
"I'm glad you're ok. I went to your room about an hour ago and Eomer was just walking in. You weren't there. He said you went to look for Mordel, but I knew you wouldn't have. I don't like her and we were supposed to have dinner and go for a walk tonight. I thought you might be in the library working on those etymologies because I know Mordel won't help at all. That's where you were right?" Arwen said. She started off smiling, but ended frowning. Should I lie? She'd probably find out. I don't have time for this.
"I was out looking for Mordel." I said. If she dumps me so be it. Then maybe Mordel would forgive me. Arwen looks like she's going to explode.
"You'd rather be in a dirty forest looking for that bitch than out on a date with me?" She yelled at me.
"Mordel is my best friend. If you can't accept that then this is over. I don't want you trash talking her constantly. Asking you to be nice to her is like trying to get an orc to throw a tea party. I can't be near you. You cost me my friendship with Mordel. You treat me and everyone else like dirt. I'm fed-up. Leave me the hell alone." I yelled back. She stared at me shocked. I pushed past her to the stairs. She was saying something but I really wasn't listening. She was following. I started running. I ran all the way to the hospital wing. Arwen was right behind me. I went in. Glorfindel was there talking to Elrond. Estel, Eowyn, Eomer, Faramir, and Boromir were there.
"Mr. Greenleaf, you may have a seat with the others." Elrond said. I sat down next to Boromir. He had the least against me. I figured I would be safer there. Sitting next to Estel is extremely hazardous.
"You are all here about Miss Celebnar. She just went into surgery. We will know nothing until morning. I suggest going to bed. It's three in the morning. You have class tomorrow." Elrond said.
"What if we want to stay?" I asked.
"It's pointless. None of you are to miss class tomorrow. Go to bed." Elrond said as he opened the door. We all glared at him except Eowyn. She was too busy crying. I walked out the door and there was Arwen.
"I wasn't finished with you yet." She snapped at me.
"Too bad, I'm already finished with you." I snapped back. I noticed Estel watching and listening from around the corner. He's Elrond's foster son so that would make him like a relative to Arwen.
"Just because I don't like Mordel that much is no reason to break up with me. If you'd remember correctly I tried to be friends with her. She's the one that rejected me." Arwen said.
Now that she mentions it, I do remember that. I remember when Mordel and I were nine is when we first met Arwen. Her father is good friends with mine. Elrond came to stay for two weeks. He had brought Arwen to meet me and the other elves of Mirkwood that were our age. Even though at that point Mordel wasn't badass, she was an ice queen. She was kind of a bully and it took a long time to become friends with her. Now she's not an ice queen but she was then. Arwen did try to be friends. At first Mordel went along with it. Then Arwen tried to change her and Mordel fought against the friendship. I personally never had a problem with Arwen, but Mordel's hatred was so strong I went along with it. There was all that stuff in eighth grade so now they just hate each other.
"That's not the problem, Arwen. You're controlling my life and I don't like it. You need to back off, if you want to go out with me." I said.
"I'll try to back off. All my other boyfriends didn't seem to care though." She said with a slight attitude. She leaned in for a kiss. Which, I gave her. She's a good kisser.
"Good night." She said as she pulled away.
"Night." I replied. I walked upstairs to my room. It's 3:30am. I'm going to have to get up at seven I should probably go to sleep. I fell asleep instantly.
I woke up at 7:00am. It was Friday at least. I got up and took a shower. I didn't sleep that well last night. I was a little startled that when I went into the living room, Eowyn was there sleeping. By now it's 7:30. She has to get to class.
"Eowyn, you have to wake up." I whispered and shook her a little.
"Go away." She mumbled and turned.
"It's 7:30. You have to go to class." I said.
"Fine, I'm getting up." She said reluctantly. That was the most civil conversation I had with any of that group in a long time. Actually, it's only been a couple days. It's felt like years. I walked down to get breakfast. I sat down at an empty table. Just then Haldir sat down next to me. He and I have been friends since freshman year. He's one of the guys that switched sides with me. So we're now on Arwen's side instead of Mordel's. He told me he might start hanging out with Mordel again, but I told him they might not let him.
"What's wrong, Legolas?" he asked as he sat down. I explained what happened last night.
"That sucks. Do you know how the surgery went?" He asked.
"No." I responded then the doors of the cafeteria flew open and in walked Arwen and her posse. In reality, there were only six though. Arwen was in front. She was wearing a short dress with thin straps. It was light purple. She had on matching platform sandals and a matching headband. Off her shoulders were Eilin and Doredhel. Eilin was wearing same outfit and everything except in forest green. Doredhel matched too except she was wearing light blue. Off Eilin's shoulder was Celebwen wearing yet again the same thing, but in red. Celebwen looked ticked she was in red. Opposite of her on Doredhel's side was Malelen wearing the outfit in yellow. The last of them was Nimaglar who was in between Celebwen and Malelen wearing white. It was actually pretty funny. You had to be there. Mordel would we be rolling with laughter. Haldir and I were laughing. Most people were. Arwen couldn't see us. Her hair didn't look half as bad in a headband. I still can't believe that bastard glued her to a chair. He's going out with Mordel too. I can't stand him. Well, that's if Mordel is ok.
I went to class. I wasn't paying attention. I was like an empty body. Gym was pretty bad. We were playing a game with Glorfindel's class. My gym teacher, Ciril, is so retarded. He didn't seem to notice some of us were just standing there. Glorfindel noticed when Eowyn and I were the first ones out. Just after we got out, Estel, Faramir, and Boromir got out.
"Are you guys even going to attempt to play the game?" He asked us. We all just kinda stood there.
"Look, I can't let you four guys go because you're not in my class. I'll try getting Ciril to let you go see Mordel. Eowyn, you can go." He said after a minute. Eowyn smiled and said "Thanks." as she ran off to get changed. Glorfindel went over to Ciril. Ciril was reluctant, but in the end agreed. We all went and got changed. I ran to the Hospital wing. I saw Eowyn talking to the nurse in charge. I walked over.
"Are you another friend of Miss Celebnar's?" the nurse asked.
"Yes and there is three more coming." I said.
"I was just explaining to Miss Rivil, about what happened and Miss Celebnar's condition. She can fill you in." The nurse said and walked away. It turns out the creature Gollum had gotten a chunk of skin and muscle out of Mordel's side. Mordel had major blood loss, but is stable now. Silwing was there she had broken her ankle while running in hysterics. Eowyn and I walked over to Mordel.
"Mordel?" Eowyn said softly. Mordel sat there for a minute looking at us with a confused expression on her face. Then almost a minute later it registered.
"Hi Eowyn." Mordel said with a small smile. Mordel turned and looked at me she realized what seemed to be sooner who I was. At first she looked happy, then angry, and then she opened her arms for a hug. I gave her one. When we let go I asked Eowyn why it took Mordel so long to realize things. Eowyn said it was because Mordel is still coming out of the shock she went into. We talked to Mordel for a while. I couldn't stand to see her like this. I got up to leave.
"Where are you going?" Eowyn asked.
"I'm leaving." I said.
"Legolas, stay here with me." Mordel said weakly. Just then Estel walked in. What took him so long?
"Legolas, go see Arwen." Estel snapped at me.
"Why?" I snapped back.
"She wants to tell you something and I don't want you near Mordel." Estel replied coldly.
"No, Legolas stay." Mordel pleaded. Estel stared at her.
"I can tell when I'm not wanted. Bye Mordel." I said and walked out.
