Christine awoke moments later to find herself back home. She grinned.
Everything was going according to plan. Legolas was going to be safe and
healthy again. Full of determination and a plan, she stood and set out on
her mission.
First things first, she had to see what day and time it was to see if she had to order and pick up her sister's medication yet. Christine knew right off the bat that she wouldn't take any of her sister's meds, she would simply double the normal order so she could have extra for Legolas.
It would be simple. Christine had done it before when she had had an ear infection and her family had gone on a vacation.
Immediately, she checked her watch. It was 2:30 pm on Sunday, October 4th. Wow, she thought, time moves much faster in Middle Earth than it does here. And the best news was, it was indeed the day she had to order and pick up her sister's prescription.
Just then, her black cat Salem entered the room. "Hi there!" she said, and petted the cat. "I'm on a mission right now." she told the cat. "I'll be back later." Christine made a mental note to take the cat back with her to Middle Earth once she had gotten everything.
Not wasting another minute, she ran to the local pharmacy which was close to her house.
As if her prayers had been answered, everything went off without a hitch. The Pharmasist didn't ask her any questions about why she was doubling the order, he just simply nodded when she'd made her request and filled the order. An hour later, she had the pills she needed. Excited beyond belief, she rushed to her sister's house, dropped off the regular order then rushed back home grinning ear to ear.
"You're going to be okay, my love. Don't you worry."
Once she was inside, she found the spot where she had gone to Middle Earth the first time. The one thing she hadn't expected to feel at the moment was the guilt of leaving her family behind here on Earth. She would miss them dearly, but she knew in her heart that she would not be truly happy without Legolas by her side.
Silently, Christine sent up a prayer that her sister would get better and that her family would always be taken care of. Lifting Salem up into her arms, she stood and waited for Gandalf to sense her arrival on the spot.
Moments later, she saw a white light surround her. Then the next moment, she came face to face with a smiling Gandalf.
"Everything went well. I have the medicine." Christine said proudly, holding up the containers. Not wasting any time, they quickly ran the proper dosage to Legolas and administered it.
"You're going to be fine, my love." she said, stroking the Elf's sweaty cheek. Legolas just wheezed in response.
"Everything should be alright now. We just have to wait for it to take effect. It's pretty strong stuff so doesn't take long."
"Who is your friend there?" Gandalf said, gesturing at her cat who was sitting by Legolas watching what was going on.
"That's Salem. He's my cat." Christine told him.
"Ah," Gandalf said and sat on the edge of the bed, "I think that you and he will make good companions for Legolas while he is still ill."
Christine smiled. "I plan to be here every step of the way until he is well again."
Gandalf chuckled. "I thought so. I think it's wonderful that he has someone to love him and take care of him now."
"Thank you." She said and hugged the wizard who had quickly become one of her best friends.
"Well, Legolas is at rest now. I think it's best we head out and give him some peace, hmm?"
"Agreed." Christine said, even though she wanted to stay by his side.
That's when Elrond entered the room. "It is time for dinner. I hope you are hungry, my lady. You haven't eaten much since the Prince became ill."
"I'm sorry about that." she said. "I'm hungry now though. Let's go eat."
Elrond smiled. "Excellent."
Christine couldn't help but laugh at the Elf Lord. He was so amusing when he got his way sometimes.
In the bedroom, unbeknownst to them, Legolas gave a small grin at the sound of her laughter.
Christine was shocked at just how hungry she truly was at that moment. She'd had two helpings already and her stomach was still growling.
"Have as much as you like." Gandalf said cheerfully, guessing her thoughts. "The cook always makes more than we need here."
"Thank you." She said, and dug in as he had asked.
After she had eaten as much as she could, she patted her stomach happily. Gandalf laughed. "Ah, good to be full I wager?"
Christine smiled. "Yes, it is. You know," she said, setting down her utensils, "I wish I knew just who or what had caused that book to fall into my room."
"Luck, I'd say." Elrond said. He was sitting next to Gandalf. "The Fates must be looking out for you and Legolas."
Christine felt her heart warm at Elrond's words. "I hope so."
Later that night, Christine crawled into bed next to Legolas. His colour was getting better since he'd had the medicine which meant it had to be working. The sweat and the laborous breathing were down too. He seemed at peace for the first time since the illness had struck him. Smiling to herself, she kissed his forehead and thanked God that she had been able to help get Legolas on the way to recovery.
"C-Christine? is that you?"
Christine jumped a mile at the sound of Legolas's voice. She turned to look at him. He was staring at her, a small grin on his face.
"Yes, it's me. How are you feeling?"
"Better than I was." he said softly. Carefully, Legolas reached out and caressed Christine's cheek.
Christine leaned into his touch, enjoying every second of it. "You will recover, Legolas. Soon you'll be well again."
"I cannot wait. For once I have my strength back," Legolas whispered in her ear, " I plan to make love to you."
An ache that had been building up inside her, let itself be known. Christine moaned softly and shuddered in delight.
Legolas revelled in her response to his carnal promise. Oh, how he loved watching her react to him.
"But until then," Christine nipped his ear, "You rest."
Legolas grinned and did just that.
First things first, she had to see what day and time it was to see if she had to order and pick up her sister's medication yet. Christine knew right off the bat that she wouldn't take any of her sister's meds, she would simply double the normal order so she could have extra for Legolas.
