High school, Mordel's POV
Disclaimer: I own my characters and I own the band Black Knights because they're fictional and I created them. I, unfortunately, don't own LOTR.
Author notes: Sorry it took me so long. Chocolat Elf please don't send purple mutant cows after me. They might harm my purple elephants with orange spots. I will try to be faster next time. This chapter is shorter then previous ones. Tell me if you like it better this way. I can get smaller chapters out faster than my longer ones. I'll start writing small ones like this if its better. Let me know.
************************************************************************
I woke up in a panic. I had a horrendous dream. I was standing in Lossarnarch, where I grew up, and it was on fire like the night my father died. I saw some of my friends with panic stricken looks on their faces. I saw the orcs trap us in a circle. It wasn't only my friends trapped with me though, people whom I have cared about both alive and dead. The amount of people was about 30. Out of all 30 only two were relatives, Nimaglar and my father. The captives were my now friends, friends who graduated years before, ex boy friends who I cared about, old friends who I'd never forget, and people I haven't even met yet. There was one person in the circle I hadn't expected to see. A girl named Enedciriel. I hadn't seen her since Lossarnarch went up in flames, but her image was of what she would look like now. Despite the many years, Enedciriel still has the same piercing green eyes and jet-black hair. I grew up with her. She was one of my best friends. She was killed by an orc. The orcs kept coming closer and closer. They started slaying my friends. I started screaming. Enedciriel held on to me for dear life. Faramir's body fell and separated us. I fell to my knees next to Faramir's body. I saw my friends falling one by one. An axe struck Enedciriel in the back of the head. The same fate that be fell her so many years ago. I picked up a dropped sword near me and charged at the orc. Before I reached him I was hit in the chest by a flaming arrow. I didn't die immediately. I watched the few people left standing. Some tried running an others tried fighting. It didn't matter though. They would all die. I looked up and saw the orc with the axe standing over me. He swung the axe down. That's when I awoke.
I was breathing heavily. I sat there thinking about my dream. I started to cry. I never cry. Could this dream be a sign or a warning? I doubt that dead people will show up while my friends and I are in Lossarnarch and be attacked by orcs. I sat up the rest of the night thinking. At around nine o'clock, Faramir, Boromir, Eowyn, and Eomer came in. I hugged Faramir really tightly as if he was going to drop dead.
"Are you ok, Mordel?" Boromir asked looking at me strangely.
"Yes and we can never go to Lossarnarch in a group." I said. Faramir and Boromir exchanged a glance. Eowyn and Eomer didn't have any idea what I could possibly be talking about. They thought I have always lived in Mirkwood.
"You'll be able to leave the infirmary in two days." Eowyn said cheerfully.
"Good, I'm already bored of this place." I said. The two days passed by rather slowly. Finally, I could go back to my life. I got the day off from classes though. I was very happy. That night was one of the nights we were allowed to actually go into Rivendell. Eowyn and I were going to get stuff to wear to the dance; I found a package came for me. It was a dress from my mom. Eowyn and I stared at it in horror. It was red. It had a turtleneck, long sleeves, and it was down to the ground.
"Uh...it's a nice shade of red." Eowyn said.
"I need to talk to Rosie." I said as I grabbed the dress and started to walk to the door. Eowyn followed. We practically ran to Rosie's dorm. I knocked on the door. A hobbit girl named Diamond opened the door.
"Hi, is Rosie here?" I asked.
"Yea, hold on." She said unenthusiastically. She went and got Rosie.
"Hi Mordel." Rosie said a little surprised it was me.
"Rosie, I need a favor." I said.
"What is it?" She said looking at me skeptically.
"I need help making this into a dress for the dance." I said showing her the dress.
"I'll help you, on the condition that you do something for me." She said.
"Yea, what do you want me to do?" I said eagerly. I don't like owing people stuff.
"You're lucky, I finished my dress yesterday. I want you to ask someone to the dance for me." Rosie said motioning for Eowyn and I to come in. I was relieved. That's an easy favor.
"Ok. Who do you want me to ask?"
"Sam Gamgee." I thought to think who this was.
"Oh, Frodo's friend. Sure, I can do that." I said. Rosie, Eowyn and I started planning how the dress would look. It'll be really cool looking. Eowyn went to go bother people and find Sam.
"Remember, try to smell for pipe weed." I said to Eowyn. Eowyn occasionally smokes pipe weed. I love pipe weed.
"It smells like there is some coming from this room." Eowyn said. We knocked on the door. I heard Pippin say, "Quick, Merry hide the pipe weed." I decided to scare them. I turned the knob and jumped through the doorway saying, "Drop the pipe weed." They were so freaked. I started laughing. " I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist." Merry was glaring at me. Frodo and Sam looked like had heart attacks. Pippin started laughing.
"Hi Mordel." The hobbits grumbled. I grabbed a pipe and started smoking. Eowyn did too.
"Did you scare us just to get pipe weed? You know, we would have shared." Frodo said a little annoyed.
"I know. I actually didn't come here for pipe weed. I came here to see Sam."
"Why do you want to see me?" Sam asked.
"Do you have a date for the dance yet?" I asked casually.
"No, but I don't want to go with you. You're too tall."
"I don't want to go with you, ya dork. I wanted to know if you'd consider going with Rosie Cotton." I said amused at the hobbits stupidity.
"Sure, I'd go with Rosie, but she wouldn't be interested in a guy like me." He said sadly. He is so pathetic it's almost cute.
"Will you go with her though?" I asked because he didn't really answer my question.
"Yes. She won't go with me though."
"Then how come she asked me to ask you?" I asked.
"She did?"
"Duh. Eowyn is a witness." I said.
"Tell her yes." He said happily.
"Ok. You guys have any ale?" I asked.
"No. Mordel, I thought we were going to Rivendell." Eowyn complained.
"Ok, I coming. Bye guys." I said.
Eowyn and I got our horses and rode to the city. First, we went to dress shop. I was looking to see if they had any cool accessories. Eowyn was looking for a dress. Eowyn tried on like a million dresses. She finally chose this really pretty blue dress. It was pale blue. It had spaghetti straps and the bottom was cut on an angle. The longest part of the skirt was at her knee. It was all sparkly. I found this silver tiara type thing that had red gems in it. I got that. Then we went shoe shopping. Unfortunately, Arwen was there with Legolas. How come he is carrying her bags? He never would carry mine. Legolas smiled when he saw me. I frowned at him. I usually ended up carrying his bags and mine when we went shopping. He is a dumb blonde.
"Look, what the cat coughed up." Arwen said to Eowyn and I. At first, I didn't get it. I looked at what I was wearing. I knew what she meant. I was wearing white sneakers, yellow pants, a purple shirt, a red hat, and pink gloves. I'm trying to scare people. Eowyn was wearing a similar outfit.
"Eru Arwen! You are so behind. This is the latest fashion craze. Matching was so yesterday." I said pretending to be shocked.
"Yea, Arwen, You're so uncool." Eowyn said catching on. Arwen thought for a moment. She gave us an angry glare and stormed off to the cashier. Legolas flashed a smile. I gave him my evil look. I was quite as mad at him. I would have spoken to him had he not been carrying her bags and not lifting a finger to defend Eowyn and I. We went to find shoes. I immediately found the perfect pair of shoes. They're a pair of red strappy sandals. Eowyn liked them to so she got a pale blue pair.
We walked to other shops. We got some jewelry. We had some time so we went into my favorite store. It's called 'Odds 'n Ends'. It sells a bunch of different stuff. Most the stuff is pretty bizarre. I love the clothes there. I ran to the clothing part of the store. I saw a black t-shirt that said Black Knights in big white letters. Underneath the words was the Black Knights trademark. The Black Knights are a punk band. They're one of my favorite bands. I bought that and some body jewels. They're these little plastic gem-like things that stick to you and look kind of like a tattoo. Eowyn and I got hungry so we stopped at a restaurant. It's called Aspanosse. Most the kids from school go here.
When we walked in we saw a bunch of people we knew. Malelen and Celebwen were there. Haldir, a guy I used to hang out with, was there with Legolas, Arwen and Eilin. Eowyn and I got a table.
"It's karaoke night." Eowyn said excitedly. The announcer went on stage and introduced himself and told us how it worked. The part I hate about going here to karaoke is that they only have pop music for the most part. I decided I was going first. I told the dj what song I was doing and got the microphone. The beginning of Dirrty started to play. I was a pretty good karaoke person. I was even doing a dance like the one in the video. I got some wolf whistles. Some people were really shocked. I looked at Arwen's table. Eilin had her 'I'm bored' look on, Haldir was smiling, Arwen was disgusted, and Legolas looked somewhere between shocked and horrified.
Eowyn went next. She was doing 'I'm a slave 4 u.' She was doing the actual dance to the video. We both know the dance. Last year, we did it for the school karaoke show. We have a battle of the bands and a karaoke show in our school. I, usually, am in both. Except this year my band lost a guitarist and a bass. Eowyn plays the drums and I play the guitar, but we need a bass player. Arwen was equally annoyed when Eowyn was finished. She got up and grabbed the microphone. She started attempting to dance like Shakira. She was doing 'Whenever, wherever'. I cracked up laughing. I know I'm going again now. Legolas looks happy now. Arwen can't even come close to dancing like Shakira. I come closer. The second she finished, I ran up and grabbed the microphone. When the music started to play. Arwen yelled, "Hey loser. I just did that."
I started singing. "Suerte que en el Sur hayas nacido,
Y que burlemos las distancias
Suerte que es haberte conocido,
Y por ti amar tierras extrañas

Yo puedo escalar los Andes,
Solo, por ir a contar tus lunares

Contigo celebro y sufro todu,
Mis alegrías y mis males

Lero lorebray...sabes que
Estoy a tus pies.

Contigo mi vida,
Quiero vivir la vida.
Y lo que me queda de vida,
Quiero vivir contigo." Okay, so I was singing the same song, but technically it was different because it's called 'Suetre'. The rest of the night flew by. Arwen stormed out of the restaurant dragging Legolas with her, making Haldir pay the bill. Eowyn and I went back to school and went to bed. I was tired. It was too much shopping.
