Hello again, I am back with another "riveting" chapter of my story,
aren't you all sooooo happy with me? Yeah, you people might've thought
that because of the end of the 9th chapter that the story was
over.....well, it wasn't, so HA! Yup, I fooled all of the readers who
actually thought I was done...should've read the history of my character,
they should've... Okay, last chapter this is what happened: Nimrodel died.
She is no more, she has seized to be! And on and on with the parrot thing
from Monty Python. Ya, well, the story still goes on because of the second
ring of power....yea, it's not gone yet, so the story's not done yet, okay?
I forgot to explain the *gakked to the nines* thing. I got that
particular phrase from the Behind the Music Aerosmith thing, just so I knew
you people wouldn't think I was stealing that or anything. I also got the
"Yes, you *insert name* on your fuckin' knees!" thing from that too...just
to inform ya. Sorry that it's been taking me so long to get this
done...school and writer's block and all sorts of other just absolutely
spiffy crap that has kept me from writing more...oh yeah! Also because my
god friend has been bugging me to put her character in since chapter 4 or 5
or somewhere around there..."When's my character gonna show up?......when's
my character gonna show up?....." Well, she's gonna be in this one, are ya
happy?! You finally get your little stint in my fic...that's about half
the reason it's taken so long to write... Yeah, well, I'll just get to it,
shall I?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She opened her eyes to see the ceiling of a pure white room that had the feeling of mourning in the air. She heard hushed voices talking just outside her range of sight at the moment. As she turned she noticed that she was on what seemed to be a stone slab type thing...and also that she wasn't in her green dress anymore, but a light white dress like a corpse would wear. ~...what the fuck...do they think I'm dead or something?! Wait, wasn't I dead before....this is too confusing, I need to ask someone what the hell's goin' on...~ When she got up, nobody was looking at her Some were consoling others on the loss of someone...probably her. She saw someone trying to get Azerith out of a corner. She heard him say he was going to go see how much he could actually eat, even though he hadn't eaten in a while. She decided that she would ask this person what this was all about; she cleared her throat behind this person, who just so happened to be Aragorn.
He turned around to see who this was and almost fell back in shock. "Nimrodel? But you can't be...you were dead for the past couple of days!"
This time it was Nimrodel's turn to be shocked. "I...was? ...Then why am I still alive now...this makes no sense at all, someone has some explaining to do around here."
Now everyone had their attention on the would-be dead body talking to Aragorn half way across the room from where it was left. Everyone was completely shocked that Nimrodel was, in fact, still alive. One of the Elves that was closest to the doorway went out in search of Elrond to alert him of what had just happened. It was only a matter of minutes until Elrond came into the room with a thoroughly confused look on his face.
It took Elrond a few seconds to get his words in order. "What is going on here?"
One of the Elves that had been there answered this as best as he could. "She just got up and started talking to Elessar. We do not know anything more than this."
Then Nimrodel decided to speak. "You see sir, I have no clue what's going on. All I know is that I woke up dressed like this and everyone was acting like someone died...and apparently that someone seems to have been me until just a while ago... Oh, and just so ya know, I'm pretty freaked out about all this too." Just after this little speech, a loud rumbling noise came from Nimrodel. "Hehe...guess I didn't eat in the past few days, did I?"
"Well, seeing as how you are still alive, we will be able to have our Council with you in our numbers to discuss the...'item' that you have brought with you." Nimrodel looked as if she were going to ask where it was. "It has been put in a safe place, since you were no longer alive three days ago."
~Wow...so I was dead for three days...that's intresting...even I don't believe it...oh well, at least I'm not dead anymore... Hey, if my dress is different...oh I hope they didn't do that...good, I still have my pants...^-^~
"So Nimrodel, since you aren't dead, I suppose you would need some food right about now, if I'm not mistaken." Of course Pippin would bring up the subject of food.
"You read my mind, Pippin, you read my mind..." He then acted all gentlemanly-like and began to lead the way to the food...which he had been visiting regularly since they got there.
When they got to the place where everyone was eating, half the place was full. Pippin pointed out where Aragorn was trying to convince everyone that Nimrodel was alive. Nobody seemed to believe him until Pippin came in. "Ah, Pippin, you saw her, isn't Nimrodel still alive."
"Of course she is, we were just talking about all the people that have been coming here in the past few days."
Merry seemed to be skeptical still. "Well then, Pip, where is she if she's still alive as you say she is?" Pippin then made a pointing motion to a space behind him.
"Right here, of course. When else did we have the time for that conversation than on the way here?" Nimrodel said this in one of the most matter-of-fact tones she had ever made in her life. {A/N: she's not normally good at that} This made everyone turn around in shock and surprized-ness. This really got to Nimrodel after having them stare for a few minutes. "What?! You're acting like you're looking at someone who was dead a few minutes ag-...oh...yeah, I forgot...never mind... Could you guys please stop staring though, it's making me paranoid." After that, they stopped staring, for fear that she was perfectly fine and seemed to be proud that she was alive after being dead, then they all realized that they would be happy if they were thought to be dead and turned out to be alive too.
Azerith turned, hearing the definite sound of his friend's voice. "Nimrodel!! You're alive!!!!! But...you were -"
"Yes, I know, I was dead before. Can you please stop bringing attention to that fact...it freaks me out, okay?" Azerith made a nodding motion to show he understood. "Okay, I apparently haven't eaten in a few days, so who's up for an eating contest!!!" The hobbits were more than up for it, and joined in, along with Azerith who hadn't eaten much due to grief. They didn't exactly keep track of how much they ate, so they decided it was a six-way tie between all of them, though they figured that one of the hobbits or Nimrodel won, due to their known eating habbits.
Their little eating contest lasted until it was dark, which was after dinner, which afterwards had one of those social room type places where the Elves were singing those stories and all that stuff that happened the last time the hobbits came. Everyone had chairs of their own and all the happy niceties like that...and the chairs were very comfy. Eventually, they got to singing the story of Nimrodel and Amroth. It was during this that Nimrodel began to feel safe and warm and as if she were with family being held close...even though she knew she wasn't. She then curled up in the chair and fell asleep.
The next morning, the day of the Council, Nimrodel woke up in the same room that she was in the first time she came to Rivendell. She was glad to be away from the stone slab dealy that she woke up on yesterday. It took her a while to actually want to get up (she was still tired from being kinda not alive for about half a week). It was her hunger that got her up, she was still making up for the food she hadn't eaten while she wasn't alive. Nimrodel remembered that she didn't have her green dress anymore. She looked for it around the room, but did not find it, so she went in search of another dress that wasn't white in the confines of the room. She found a purple dress laid out for her across the room with a note saying that the flowers on her old dress were the ones on this new one (I guess they figured that she really liked them or something), and appologised for the dulling of one of the gems...they did not know what caused this to happen. She decided that purple (her favorite color) was much better for wearing around a bunch of guys than white (you know...just in case it decides to rain...),so she changed into this new dress (and left her pants on...^-^), and went to go find everyone else.
She somehow found her way to the place where the food was again, and everyone was already up and eatting together, so she naturally joined them. They all ate and talked and ate a lot more, especially Nimrodel, since it was her hunger that woke her up in the first place.
"So...did you have a nice sleep?"
~Okay, why is it that Legolas is asking me a question like that...~ "Uh, I guess so...I did wake up today, so I would assume I had a nice sleep... Why do you ask?"
Legolas wasn't quite sure how to answer this...he wasn't quite sure why he asked either. "Well, last time I checked, it was not wrong to be concerned about someone who had no longer been alive for half a week."
For this snide remark, Legolas won one of Nimrodel's death glares. Not that she didn't appreciate the concern; it was his tone...it was all wrong. Sam realized this as a sign that someone would get hurt if this kept going, so he found that he'd better do something about it. "Come on you two, this is no time to be arguing. Besides, we all have to be at the council later, and it would be better if we were all, erm, in one peice, hehe..." Nimrodel seemed to be considering this idea of not hurting Leoglas very seriously. After a few minutes she just shrugged as if in silent accord to this.
After that small altercation, they continued the meal without any more incident. Afterwards, thhey went off on their own ways until the council was called, which wasn't too long from then. Some went off to catch up on things with old friends who had shown up, others went to find someplace secluded. As for Nimrodel, she went back to that garden that she found the first time she had went to Rivendell.
After a couple of hours of just sitting around outside, one of the Elves came and told Nimrodel that the council was going to start in a minute or so. So she got herself up and went off to find the place where the council was being held. While she was trying to find the place, she ran into Merry. He was on his way to the council at that very same moment (he was invited this time). When he kept walking, she just followed him, seeing as how she doesn't like to ask for help very often.
There was only one chair to sit in when she finally got there after being caught on a branch for a minute, so naturally she assumed that nobody else was coming and sat down. Just as Elrond started the almost same introduction as the last time the ring was an issue, a loud pop sounded and someone, or something, fell on their rear in the middle of the congregation.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Aaaaaaaaaand, that's all for now....hehehehehe, sorry friend of friends, but you're gonna have to wait until the next chapter! Mwahahahahahahahaha!!!!! Yeah, I finally got this chapter up...good thing it wasn't half a year's wait this time, eh? Well I'm not sure how long this is, but it's certainly longer than it would've been if I had put this up a few months ago. I hope ya all liked the chapter, I really do. Now, you do see that little purpleish button that says "go" on it, right? Well, go ahead and click it so I can have more than 53 reviews...you know I want to have some more reviews...come on, please?
Peace, 3, and /^'^'(A)'^'^\ (you know I had to type that... ^-^)
