The next day, I was up at 5am, feeding the horses who were left to run around the back yard. They seemed to enjoy the place, even though it was a bit cramped. I went back inside, and saw Aragorn walking around. He looked anxious.
"What's up?" I asked him.
"Sorry?"
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, I see. Your language here is very similar, yet so diverse. I am merely thinking. We shall have to leave soon. Though it has not been long since you found out, I feel we must leave soon."
"Yeah. I suppose so. I'm just a little scared. I mean, I hardly know why I have to go there, and what I will do forever. If you know what I mean, like I can't really die. I know I won't wanna stay in the one place too long though. I've always wanted to see middle earth. I want to see all aspects of the place, I want to travel through every field, every mountain, every forest."
"Ah, you have an adventurous spirit. I remember when I was your age. I was much the same. You shall have your chance, do not fret."
"If I go and get my maps of arda, will you tell me about the places you have been, or where we will go?"
"Of course." He replied, I raced upstairs quietly, grabbed my books off my desk, ran back downstairs and Aragorn and I talked for hours about middle earth, its people and its cultures. The elves especially captivated me. Well, I was half elf, so I had to learn what I could from a first hand person who had lived with them.
Later that morning, everybody was up, and mum said she would take Aragorn, Thea and I shopping for clothes to wear. She decided that she would also make us cloaks like se had been taught when she was a child, but this time, she would buy the material. Dad said he would stay home, to recover his maps and information about The Bermuda Triangle he had collected.
We headed out that morning to the local mall. Aragorn had borrowed dad's clothes again, that were unfortunately, so big around the belly, so he wore a belt that made him look like Steve Earkel. We walked around, looking shops for a while, occasionally finding something suitable, but not nearly comfortable enough. We finally came across a shop that had medieval clothes (gothic stuff) they had tops us girls could really use to help us fit in. Even mum recommended them. She used to live in M.E. , so she would know what she was on about.
We picked out a few tops each and paid for them. Earlier, we had bought jodhpurs, so it would be more comfortable to wear. We also had jeans at home we could wear. In the men's stores, we bought Aragorn plenty of jeans (especially since he like them) and a few tops. After that mum went into the fabric shop and bought material while Thea, Aragorn and I bought ice creams. Mum came out of the shop and we left for home.
We reached home at about 11:30 am and found dad studying old journals and maps. He told us where we should catch the plane to and where it would be less conspicuous.
"If we catch a plane from the airport to here," he said pointing to a small island called Puerto Rico, "then hire a couple of boats or something and we can follow it to the triangle." Directing our eyes with his finger, "It should take a couple of days to get there, then its just a matter of finding the triangle, which is about here." He said, referring to a mud map he had drawn up years ago.
"Ok." Thea said, looking through the phone book. "I'll call the airport and book us the next flight to San Juan." She dialled the number and a few minutes later, after giving them her details and credit card number, we were booked on the 527 direct to San Juan.
"Ummmmm. Guys, we have a small problem with this." I said.
"What is that?" dad asked, looking at the maps still.
"We need to get Aragorn some id and a passport."
"Oh, I don't worry. I have organised it all. You'll get your passport tomorrow Aragorn" He said looking up at us.
How could dad be so calm about this? How could he have gotten a fake idea and that? Oh well, best not medal in things that will get you in trouble. Still.. "Dad, where did you get the id and stuff?"
"From the same guy I got your mothers from. Don't worry about it Bly. It's all under control." He replied, giving me a smile.
"I'm going to call Yolly. She knows about Aragorn, after all, she helped me get him here. Didn't she Aza (that was the nickname I had given him)?"
"Yes, indeed it is so." He agreed.
I got on the phone and talked to Yolly in my room.
"Hi, its Blythe. Is Yolanda home?" Yolly's mum had answered the phone. (ok normal voice and italic is Yolanda's) "I'll just get her dear." (Someone on the other end of the line picked up) Hey Bly, what's doin? Lots, I have so much to tell you What? Tell me all. You know how Aragorn was looking for that chick? Yeah, what about her? We found her, and you won't believe who it is. Who? Brace yourself, and you'd better be sitting down....My mum. What! Your joking right? Your not serious. ........... You are serious. Darn right. And the bad thing is, I have to leave here. Forever. My mum stays but Thea and I go to middle earth. O my god! Forever?! I'll never see you again! I know, and I don't like it one bit. But I have no other choice. (I hear sniffles on the other line) Don't cry you git! You'll get me started !(I cried into the phone. This went on for about half and hour) So......When do you leave? In a couple of days. Hey, why don't you come around tomorrow, I can show you my horse I am taking to M.E. I'd love to. Oh, hey man, I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow. Sure. See you then. (Both lines hung up)
It was going to tear me in 2 to leave, but I had no choice. I went downstairs and helped everyone prepare. ************************************************************************ The next day was mainly packing, Yolly came over in the morning, helped me pack, shoes, clothes, mementos, stuff like that. We go out side and ride the horses for a bit (Aragorn instructing us of course). She went home in the late afternoon, then came the next morning. She wanted to dye her hair, so I helped her with that. From golden blonde to dark brown. Another Brittany. Oh my gosh. Anyways, I was getting really nervous by now, wishing mum and dad could come. I would really miss them.
~*~ Tomorrow we would leave for San Juan. I'm not sure if I want to go anymore. What if we get attacked by Orcs? If Astaldo freaks out, bucks me off or I get lost from Thea and Aza? What if no one accepts us? I'm really not sure about this anymore. I guess it's because I have had too long to think about it. That night I rang Yolly and said my final farewell. It was hurting too much to say those words. But I had to. I could never leave someone without saying goodbye. I was already to do that to my other friends. I had to spare myself the pain and say my farewells to at least one. ~*~ We are leaving for the airport now. Its about a 10 minute drive from home. I wish it were longer. This was the last time I would see it all. Astaldo is rather excited about the journey. When we get to the airport, some men took the horses away to go into quarantine, then they will go on the plane. We on the other hand would have to wait an hour before we can even board the plane. Mum and Dad go and get us all something to eat, Thea goes off looking for a bathroom and Aragorn and I are left seated in the waiting room.
"Do you miss your family?" I asked him.
"Yes, I do, but I know I will see them in Rivendell. My beloved Arwen and Eldarion." Aragorn's son Eldarion was born about a year ago. I couldn't wait to see him. He seemed like the cutest little bundle of joy. Oh! I want a lil bro!
"Hey, can I ask you something? You don't have to but I would really like to learn."
"What is it Blythe?"
"Can you teach me how to use a sword and bow and arrows and stuff. I just want to able to defend myself. Just in case."
"I will ask your parents and see what I can do. It is a noble request. I just hope you shall never need to use the skills."
Thea returned for the bathroom. "So, what have you two been up to?"
"Nothing." I replied. "There is nothing to do around here! Its so boring!"
"Calm down Blythe, the plane will be here soon and we'll be on it sooner than you could believe." Dad said, coming back holding a bunch of sandwiches. "Ok, we have ham, cheese and chilli sauce for Blythe," he said, handing me my sandwich, and everyone else's in turn, "Egg and lettuce for Aragorn, Tuna for Thea and ham and tomato for your mother and I."
"Yummmmmmy! Chilli!" I screeched.
"Blythe!" Thea said, scolding me. "Ugh, how can you eat that?"
"Well, you take a bite in your mouth and." I teased.
"Shut up idiot!" Thea said back, glaring at me. Aragorn had become accustomed to eat and found it quite amusing. He had now the habit of calling me Pippin and Thea Merry. I don't know how we resemble them but you get that.
"Cut it out the pair of you!" Mum said. I don't think she really needed this now. Her only children were leaving her side forever; back to her own home, and she would never see them the way they should be. In a free world. Free from evil.
"Flight 527 to San Juan is ready for boarding." The announcer said. I rose from my chair, took the ticket from dad and followed after Thea. I felt inside, that a part of me was dying. My eternal youth left behind and forgotten. My happiness left my side, and as though from the weight of gravity, sorrow filled my heart.
As I handed the ticket to the flight attendant, I looked back. Never again will I see the smoke from the city (I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not), and I would never see my friends, listen to the same music, or perve on Derek Whilbey again. ~*~
The plane ride from my point of view was dull. We all sat there, thinking about what would come to hand and heart. As I stared out the window I thought to myself. Maybe this would be a good thing. Could it be? The ring has been destroyed. Evil would not rise again will it? I hope not. I fell asleep for most of the 22 hour plane ride, dreaming now of the place I would go, and realised, I have dreamt of it my whole life. ~*~
I woke up as the plane hit the tarmac. I rose from my seat, and followed everyone depart from the plane in single file. As I walked down the stairs, I looked at the sunny island. It sure was a beautiful place, pity I would only be here for the morning. We led the horses from the people who had handed them to us and over to wear mum, and dad were with the luggage and saddles.
"Ok, I will go and speak to someone about getting a couple of boats and we can get going. In the mean time, go and grab some breakfast." ************************************************************************ They will be in middle earth within the next couple of chapters so keep your cool (I hope). What do you think of this story so far? Reply and tell me!
I would like to take this as a chance to thank my best 2 reviewers Levanna and Darkangel197. I'm glad you like my fic. I put a fair bit of work into it, and I'm glad to have more than one reviewer for once. Thanks all round!
I luv Andalusians too. They're my favourite breed, that's why I gave Bly that one. I usually ride my trainers horse Rocket, who is a liver chestnut thoroughbred or my aunts pony Wizard, who is a welsh mountain pony. I'm still dreaming to own my own horse, but I can't really afford it now in between paying off my guitar.
K, down to business. Aragorn is Blythe's mum's cousin's (Arwen) husband, (k I'm sure u know those two r in luv and all) its kinda complicated, but if u follow that it think you'll follow the story.
Also! Attention plz! I am going to put you reviewers into this story, if you want, and turn you into characters along the way. Tell me what race, age, name, height, physical characteristics and any other information you'd like. Oh, and which character you'd like to hook up with. I will be letting a select few travel with Bly, Thea and Aragorn, so get writing! (
