Chapter Three: Interrogations
Phoebe stared down at my crumpled body as I yelped in pain.
"She-I don't know." Phoebe replied to Legolas.
I lay 'helplessly', if you will, on the cold solid ground. I didn't know what to say to make the situation more believable. I thought for a moment not knowing what I would say.
"Water," I coughed.
I looked at Phoebe who was not getting it. I winked at her and she understood.
"Deh- I mean she needs water!" She almost yelled. "She dehydrates."
I smiled thankfully and brought my eyes to Legolas. He was staring questionably at me. I could tell he had no idea what we were talking about. But he knew that water was needed.
'You there!" Legolas said as he stood up.
He quickly walked over to another elf and began to speak with him. But is was brief. The elf quickly ran off.
"Phoebe, good one!" I slyly said to her.
"You know me." She said with a laugh.
I laid closer to the ground acting as if I were still in agony. But I brought my eyes up when I heard someone speak.
"Legolas, Man na Raika?" [What is wrong] A male voice questioned.
I brought my eyes to the one who spoke to Legolas in Elvish. Legolas left from me over to him. But I could hear them talking.
"Handir. Sina quendo na Iaiwa." [This elf is sick] Legolas said.
My eyes widened in fear. I could tell we were going to get busted. The elf Legolas had spoken too ran over to me holding a goblet of water. I took it thankfully and drank the water. I then stood up with Phoebe by my side.
"She does not look so ill Legolas." Handir said.
Legolas turned around to see Phoebe and I were standing. He and Handir rushed over to us.
"Are you all right?" he asked with concern.
"Fine," I sarcastically replied. "I told you I only needed water."
He nodded with a coy look on his face.
"Since you are feeling better. This is Handir, an elf of Lorien." Legolas said as he pushed Handir forward.
My heart almost sank to the ground. It was Haldir's son in the flesh. I stood there staring idiotically. Phoebe nudged me forward slightly and I almost stumbled.
"I-um hi." I sleepily said.
I brought my hand to my head and shook it.
"These elf maidens say they are from Rivendell and Lorien." Legolas said as he placed his arms across his chest. "Do you recognize the one behind this one?"
Handir tipped on his feet to look past me. He stared deeply at Phoebe. He quickly gave her a look over.
"No, I do not." He replied.
My eyes widened in shock. I began to fear what they would do to us. I stepped back pushing Phoebe with me.
"You know, I um, we have to go." I shakily said.
I turned quickly around to be faced with three guards holding up bows and arrows straight in our faces. I quickly turned back around to Legolas and Handir.
"You see we're not, who you think we are." I said.
We stepped slowly sideways away from the guards.
"We're not exactly from around here, you see we were in an accident."
Legolas lifted one eyebrow as if he were intrigued. He looked us up and down before he spoke again.
"What sort of accident?" Legolas questioned.
"Well, um a car accident." I unsteadily said.
Legolas turned to Handir and then back to us. I had no idea what he would be thinking. But I figured dungeons would be floating around in his mind.
'WE just want to go home!" Phoebe blurted out.
"So that you can inform anyone of any of the secrets kept in Mirkwood? No!" Legolas angrily shouted. "Take them to the dungeons, we will be there shortly."
And there it was, the darkened rooms where they kept anyone suspicious or out of character. The guards who were no beside us pushed closer towards us. They grabbed our arms with out warning.
"No, you don't understand we don't belong here!" I shouted.
"That's is right, you do not!" one of the guards who held tightly to me said.
They forcefully pushed us deeper into the caves. Lower and lower until we would reach the dungeon. We passed cells and chains, which held nothing. But the still dragged us deeper into it. Eventually we reached a rounded room in the dungeon. There was only one visible way out, which was where they had brought us in. But the bars along the outside blocked the escape rout.
"Please!" I struggled.
The one that held me pulled me up to the edge of the room. I brought my eyes up to the chains that were attached to the wall. I knew I would be chained to it. He tightly gripped my left arm and lifted it to the clasp. My other arm was free for the moment. I balled up my fist and brought it back. It quickly came up and connected with his face. He backed away but I couldn't get out of the clasp.
He stood straight up and stared angrily at me. He brought his hand back and slapped me across my face. I felt a burning sensation before everything went black.
~*~
I slowly drifted awake, to see a different room that didn't look remotely like the dungeons. But I blinked and suddenly the cave room came into view.
I pulled down on my arms, but all that happened was a loud clank. I realized I was chained up all the way. I began to get scared again.
"Phoebe?" I whispered.
I viewed the room but I couldn't see anything. I began to worry that they had done something Phoebe.
"Phoebe?" I said precariously
"What?" She asked.
I turned my head to the right side of me, and there was Phoebe. She was in the same predicament I was in.
"Phoebe, tell me right now, that this is a nightmare?" I asked her.
"I would, if I wasn't in such pain." She replied.
"Urh! You're right. But why are we still in here? Didn't Handir and Legolas come back, didn't you tell them what happened?" I interrogated her.
"Actually we have just arrived." Legolas' voice said.
I turned my gaze quickly from Phoebe to Legolas and Handir. I rolled my eyes and stared at another part of the dungeon.
"Will you tell us the truth? And do not lie, we do not like untruthful people." Handir asked.
"Well." I said as I shifted against the wall. "I would if you elves weren't such assholes!"
"Raven!" Phoebe nearly shouted.
"Now, why do you not just tell us your reasons for coming to Mirkwood? Do you work with the dark elves? Legolas questioned.
"Oh, I thought you could be the only one." I sarcastically replied.
"Watch your tongue!" Handir shouted at me.
I puffed my hair from my face and angrily stared at them. I sighed and I knew I had to go all out.
"Do you have to be so negative? We just got into an accident. You would think hostility would be anywhere but here?" Phoebe retorted.
"We only wish to know where you hail from. And not lie, I do not believe it is possible that you have been in an accident, you have not a scratch on you."
I grinned at Handir. I shifted again and was about to laugh at my next sentence.
"Have you seen everything that isn't covered by my clothes?" I timidly asked.
Handir's cheek began to redden. I would have smiled more, but my cheek still burnt from when the guard had hit me.
"Did I strike a nerve?" I modestly asked.
"This is not going anywhere!" Legolas shouted.
He swiftly came over to Phoebe and I. He stopped right in between us and he slightly grinned.
"Tell us where you have come from?" he asked.
"Not here." I said.
I turned my face to him. My face was lit slightly with the light from the torches along the walls. He stared at me questionably. I looked at him, as he turned his gaze to Handir. Legolas waved him over.
"Does this cheek look redder than the other?" Legolas asked Handir.
I shakily looked at him, before I turned my head away from their view. But I felt a hand on my chin forcing me to face Handir. He viewed my face for a moment and then brought his eyes to Legolas.
"She has been struck on her right cheek." He said to Legolas.
"AS if you care!" I retorted.
I struggled as I tried to release my grip from Handir's hand. I tried to free his grip but he held on tightly.
"We do care! This was not there when we had last come across her." Handir said. "How did you hurt it?" He asked.
I knew he was going to push that question. I didn't want to lie, and risk anymore trouble from them.
"One of YOUR guards!" I yelled. "I hit him, he hit me. It was a fair hit. Except for the unconscious thing." I thought aloud.
Legolas and Handir exchanged looks with each other quickly.
"Stay here." Legolas said to us.
"Like we're going anywhere!" I smart-alecky said.
But they had already begun to walk away. I sighed as they walked out of the room. They left Phoebe and I to speak with each other. WE had no idea what to say to each other.
"So do you think that guard is gonna get it?" Phoebe asked with a laugh.
"We can only hope." I said with humor.
A/N: There you go! Ehhhh and yet so boring. Hey yeah if you guys want, go ahead and review! CAUSE you LOVE me! Well if you don't know me, I could see how that's a problem.
