* Hi everybody! This is the chapter you've all been waiting for: the
revenge of Deidre!
* Oh, and just so you know, I go to horseback riding/bible camp next week (June 8th) and don't get back until the 13th, so if I don't review or update during that time, it's because camp's all about getting back to nature and improving our relationship with God, so computers are banned.
*And now, here's the story!
**************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
Elladan and Elrohir walked down the halls of the palace, talking about the note that had been left for them earlier. "Elladan and Elrohir," it had read, "Since you asked me to take you on a spider hunt, you will get your wish. You probably don't have your bows with you, so you can borrow some. Meet me outside the armory in half an hour. -Aralith"
"I can't believe he's taking us!" exclaimed Elladan. "This is going to be great!"
"I know! But we've never hunted giant spiders before. What do you think it'll be like?" replied Elrohir. "Deidre's going to be so jealous, she'll explode!"
"Nah," Elladan replied. "She's too busy acting starry-eyed over Legolas to notice anything."
**************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
At that very moment, Deidre, Legolas, Tavor, and Brethil were waiting for the twins to come into range. As soon as they did, Deidre gave the signal. The twins found themselves hanging upside down from the ceiling, thanks to two rope traps Deidre had devised. But the best was yet to come.
Gwibess and one of her fellow spiders crawled down from their hiding place in the rafters and began to extra-strong spider silk around each twin, leaving only the head free. The twins bore identical expressions of shock, anger, and fear as the spiders left and Deidre and the trio stepped out from their hiding places.
"Deidre!" Elrohir roared. "Get us down, now!"
"Oh, I don't think I will, horseface. I'm enjoying this too much. I'll let you down sometime, most likely in a week or two, but it just depends on when you two start behaving. You know, I was going to just lure you two here myself, but when Legolas offered to forge his brother's handwriting, well, I just couldn't resist. It made the planning so much easier, don't you think?" Deidre asked with an evil grin on her face.
Legolas nodded, and he, Tavor, Brethil, and Deidre roared with laughter. The plan had gone perfectly.
"You know, Deidre, from what you've told me, this only proves that they have a habit of getting into sticky situations," Brethil said, grinning.
"Yes, they certainly get wrapped up in their plotting, don't they?" Legolas added.
Elrohir opened his mouth to speak, but Deidre cut him off. "I suppose you don't recall that when your father banned you and Elladan from playing pranks on me, he didn't say anything about me getting revenge on you. Therefore, I get off scot free and with a perfect revenge." Deidre turned to go. "Oh, and sorry to leave you two hanging by a thread, but I simply must go. I'll come back to gloat later. Namarie, nimrods!" And with that, she and the trio left, leaving the twins to try unsuccessfully to escape from the sticky prisons they were trapped in. **************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
*Next chapter: Thranduil and Tanglinna find out. Will Deidre be able to stand up to a very angry wood-elf king? Wait and find out! (Oh, and BTW, there's only two chapters left. I'll take votes for what I should do next at the beginning of the next chapter.)
