"No, we haven't. The only reason she did what she did is because she felt
second best. At home, I was always the favourite. Our parents never
remembered Free if they could help it. Our school loved me, and a lot of my
friends took delight in making fun of her, so it would be better if I
stayed here. Phoebe can go home and live the life she always dreamed of." I
said.
"What life is that?" Legolas asked quietly, responding to my speech.
"Mine. She will go home and pretend to be me. I don't know if she's thought of this, but she might write a letter to mum and dad, from Phoebe, saying she's run away. It's only fair, I'm going to stay here and live the life I always dreamed of."
"What have you always dreamed of?" Elrond asked.
"A life with no worries, with beauty. A life with happiness, where I don't have to be the favourite. Where I can be myself, not the person my parents wanted me to be. Where I can fall in love -" Legolas shifted "without my parents just wanting to know if he's rich, of going on to Free about how she should get a partner. Just.. somewhere I can be happy, away from the cares and unhappiness, and death of my world." I finished, and took a breath.
"Not to be rude or anything, but my arms are really starting to hurt. Do you think there's any chance of kinda getting me down?" I asked.
At that moment, Glorfindel burst into the room, with a midget at his side.
"Ah, Gimli, could we borrow your axe for a moment?" Elrond asked the short thing.
"What happened here?" Glorfindel asked, speeding to my side within the blink of an eye.
Legolas looked jealous, and stared accusingly at me.
**FLASHBACK**
"Welcome to Rivendell, Phoebe and Faith! We have all looked forward to your arrival. Lord Elrond should be here in a moment.
"I am Glorfindel, should you need anything, don't hesitate to ask."
**A FEW DAYS LATER**
"Fai, I will be back later. Glorfindel asked if I wanted to go on a walk with him." Phoebe said to me.
"Is this like, a date?" I asked her.
**END FLASHBACK**
"Phoebe, what happened?" Glorfindel asked me urgently.
"Phoebe went home. I'm Faith." I said.
"Oh, Faith, im hiretha. {I'm sorry}" [A/N - Spelling wrong, I know. Sorry.] He released me from where he'd been hugging me. In the background Elrond and Gimli were talking in a strange language I couldn't recognise. Legolas was standing by, making sure I didn't get hurt.
"I could send you to her, if you wanted." I offered as Glorfindel looked crestfallen.
"Would you?" He asked me.
"I could, but be warned, you may not like my world. I missed the beauty, and I'm not even an elf." I said.
"I don't care, as long as I'm with Phoebe." He assured me.
"OK, but don't say I didn't warn you!" I clicked my fingers, and he disappeared the same way Free did, in a flash of white light.
Legolas let out a breath he had been holding since Glorfindel had embraced me.
"OK, Faith, don't move." Gimli said, standing up on a chair.
"WAIT! What are you goi-" I started.
Midget-Man swung his axe in the direction of the chains around my hands. There was a clang, and the chains broke.
I pulled my hands down, to a feeling of great relief, and Legolas caught me up in a hug.
"Thank you, Gimli, Legolas, Elrond. Maybe now both the Arielle twins will be happy." I said to the smiling males around me.
~ Hey Cysne, how was that?
Next chapter last chapter, then I will start work on 'The 9th Ringwraith' again.
