Still here? Well done. Now I'll let you know what's in the box. The next chapters LotR so you might as well read this one then.
Nope, still don't own Lord of the Rings (Damn). And i'm not making any money for this (Double Damn).
Hey! Why am I bothering to write a bloody disclaimer!? I haven't even started on the Middle-Earth bit yet!
"What!" Yelled Noodles. "What's in the box?" The three other girls crowded round the box. The inside of the box was lined with a velvety material and laying on the material were four rings. One was made of a silvery metal with a large crystal in it that looked like a star. Another was also silver with a ruby. The third was gold and had an emerald and the last was silver with a sapphire.
Nissa, who was holding the box, reached into it and took out the ring with the star crystal. She held it up to the light. Despite being underground for an exceedingly long time it was still shiny, the metal gleamed and the jewel shone, there wasn't a single fault or chip in the stone. It was the most beautiful ring she had ever seen.
Blaise, Noodles and even cautious Freja were all doing likewise. It was rather odd how they had all picked up a different ring. Blaise had the emerald, Noodles had the sapphire and Freja had the ruby. It didn't enter their minds to wonder why four beautiful and seemingly expensive rings were in a box in their back gardens.
"Wow." Breathed Nissa at last, winning the understatement of the day award in the process.
"Pretty." Said Noodles, entranced.
"Beautiful." This was Freja.
Blaise for once in her life was speechless. Nissa slipped the ring onto the middle finger of her right hand. It was a perfect fit. Then Freja came to herself and began to 'rain on the other girls parade'.
"We need to go to the police." This snapped the three others out of their trance.
"Why!?" The all snapped at her.
Freja took a little jump backwards, she didn't like being shouted at. "B-b-because they aren't ours."
"Haven't you ever heard of 'Finders Keepers'?" Demanded Nissa.
"Yes but still. . ." Freja trailed off, unable to think of anything convincing to say.
"Actually, the law states that you hand something into the police and if it isn't claimed after a certain amount of time it legally becomes yours." Said Noodles.
"How the hell did you know that!?" Blaise inquired, awe-struck. This intelligent revelation from Orchid Noo'dil threatened to destroy the foundation of logic in the universe.
"I read it in a book once." Orc Noodle girl told them smugly.
The silence with smothering. "I didn't know you could read." Murmured Blaise. Noodles looked confused.
"Oh yeah, I can't."
The other girls sighed and shook their heads, sometimes with Noodles it was better to just smile and go along with it. "Well," said Nissa thoughtfully, "since they've been underground so long that no one can probably claim ownership and-" she yawned loudly.
"Look it's late," Blaise said, the half moon was climbing up the sky and most of the stars were out. The sun had set hours ago. "We should decide what to do in the morning." The girls all agreed and went inside, taking the box, and the rings, with them.
Yay! Now we can finally get on to LotR! I know this chapter was a little crappy but, to be honest, I want to see some LotR action as much as the rest of you. Right, off to chapter four we go then! Wahoo!
