The girls had no idea what to say, should they lie or tell the truth. And even is they told the truth would they be believed. At the thought of this the sever-ness of the situation the girls were in suddenly hit them. Deciding that the truth would be best Evelyn began to speak.
"Well I'm Evelyn and this is Laina, and basically we're really lost, and scared. We have no idea how we got here or how to get home...please don't kill us!!" Evelyn pleaded as more tears streamed down her face.
"Yes, please don't kill us..she's telling the truth, we are really lost" Laina added attempting to help their case.
"You can't expect me to believe that! Tell me the truth." Aragorn said sounding ever so dangerous.
At the same moment the other man standing with him drew his axe and pointed it at the girls. Laina and Evelyn just looked at each other, they now had and exceptional amount of pointy objects pointed at them and all for what, telling the truth.
"Look, I swear we're telling you the truth, we're just kids, and we're only 16 years old. Hell she's not even 16 years old yet (Evelyn said pointing at Laina). We're hopelessly lost, and have no intention of hurting you. Even if we did how much damage do you think we could do when we have no weapons and you have Swords!" Evelyn said sounding more and more confident as she went.
"And may I add once again that we really , really don't want to hurt you." Laina said as she peaked out from behind Evelyn.
" Well young ones, you leave us little choice. We cannot trust you to be here with us, yet neither can we trust you enough to let you go, where you could follow us. This leaves us little choice.." Aragorn who was closing in on the girls , never even got to finish his sentence, for he was cut off by an elderly man with a long white beard and a pointy hat.
" This leaves you no choice but to trust them and untie them." The man said finishing Aragorn's line.
" Gandalf, you can't be serious? How can you know , how can you tell if they're trustworthy?" Legolas questioned
" Yes my dear elf friend I am being very serious, now untie them. They've been hurt enough for one day." Gandalf finished in such a tone that everyone knew that this conversation was over and he had won.
With a very confused look on his face Legolas drew a small sword(this made the girls eyes shine wide) and knelt down to cut their bonds. In a few short seconds they were free, but neither could move.
" Well come on get up!." Aragorn ordered
" See now there's a small problem we can't! My knee got crushed really badly when you drove me into the ground,." Evelyn said as she removed her hand revealing a very bloody and bruised knee
" Yeah, and when you threw me to the ground my ankle rolled or broke or something! Now I can't walk either" Laina said as she also removed her hand showing a very swollen purple ankle.
The girls suddenly realized the other man that had been around was once again gone. And like usual Aragorn, Gandalf and Legolas were speaking in an odd language . As the girls sat there and waited to see the outcome to this dreadful day, they began to wonder if they'd ever get home, or if they'd even get out of this alive.
Gandalf pulled away from the group and returned to the very distressed girls. "I need to leave you, but I've told these two how to heal you. I've also made them understand you will not try to harm them in anyway, so do not make me out to be a liar. Do you understand me, I trust these men with my own life and I trust they will take care of yours, okay?" As Gandalf finished the girls nodded in agreement. Truthfully neither trusted these men but there was something about the old man that they trusted and felt they had no choice but to go along with it. As Gandalf rode off on his gallant horse, Aragorn, Legolas, walked back over to the girls.
"Come on, make your way over towards the fire, and we'll heal you as best we can until Gandalf returns." Legolas said in a slightly nicer tone
"Okay two things first. One, why do you suddenly trust us*not that I'm complaining*, and two we already told you we can't walk due to our recent injuries." Evelyn surprised herself with how much more confident her tone had become. The men just stared at her blankly, also slightly surprised by the sudden burst of dominance in her voice.
"Gandalf told us you were friends of his and that he was expecting you. And if you can't walk then we'll have to carry you" Aragorn said still sounding unpleasant but not quite so deadly as before.
Laina looked over at Evelyn; both girls were very puzzled by Gandalf's words. How could he be their friend if they'd never met him before, and how could he be expecting them if they didn't even plan on being here? Hell they didn't even know where here was. With a quick glance they silently decided it was best not to question the words that had just saved them.
