Chapter 5: The Journey Continues
I feel someone shaking my shoulders while saying wake up. I slowly start to open my eyes. I can't believe the night is over already. It seemed like just a little while ago I had closed my eyes.
The elves had prepared a beautiful breakfast of fruits and some lembas. I started to wonder what this day holds. Hopefully a little less excitement.
After breakfast the horses are saddled up, and we ride off again. This time Haldir rides his own horse as the elves must feel confident that I wont run away and also Legolas, Elladan and Elrohir have joined us.
I start to again wonder why I have been kidnapped, and what did Haldir mean when he said I know that you can't understand or don't want to believe but you will with time.
I had an inner debate over what to do. Should I try and get more information? I knew that it would be hopeless to ask the elves that kidnapped me. That is all of them apart from Haldir. It seemed that Haldir was in charge and they followed orders. Asking the three new elves was defiantly out of the equation. I had only just met them and all I was told was their names. I had decided to stay clear of them for as long as possible. Although all the elves seemed very dangerous, these three appeared to be the most dangerous, and at least one, Legolas, had looks that could kill. The ultimate weapon. The killer greasy.
I thought that the best way would be to eavesdrop on their conversations, but how was I going to pull this one off. These elves all had remarkable senses. Above all I had to hope that they didn't speak in elvish.
"We'll stop and give the horses a break" said Haldir. I hope it is lunchtime I thought. It was quite obvious now that Elladan, Elrohir, and Legolas had joined this group of elves.
"Lembas again" said Orophin with a smile as he hands me some food. "Elvish Way bread". "Do you want some company" he said with a smile. I said yes, but wondered how I would be able to pull off my plan now. "This is really quite delicious" I said. Orophin then proceeded to tell me the whole history of lembas and then how it is made, until Rumil joined us. Not long after Rumil joined us Haldir sat with us. We all continued to talk until it was time to leave.
We rode in silence through a forest for quite some time. I had defiantly decided now for sure that I wouldn't be running away. If I did knowing my luck, I would get hopelessly lost, and the elves would almost certainly come looking for me and then what little freedom I had now would be gone. I would also risk my new forming friendship with Haldir and his brothers.
