Chapter 4 Danger Awaits
Aragorn
"All right. Do you want to take the bus or walk, Aragorn?" asked Liz. We were standing outside of the buildings that they lived in.
"Uh," I said, wondering what a bus was, "Shall we walk?"
"Okay, it is good to get some exercise," answered Tracy, as they started to walk.
After we traveled, what I guess was two leagues, we stopped outside a huge building. As we walked inside, I noticed that the place was swarming with people. I knew I would need some protection, so I reached for my sword. Liz must have seen this, for she put out her hand to stop me and whispered, "Don't even think about drawing that."
Then Tracy whispered to her, "I cannot believe you let him take that."
Liz answered, "Hey, you just watch make-up boy over there. I will watch out for Aragorn."
Tracy turned quickly. I could see Legolas talking to a woman, and playing with this colored powder in a black box.
Tracy rushed over and pulled Legolas away from the woman and grabbed the box he was holding and put it on a shelf.
"Legolas, those are not for guys," said Tracy, "you shouldn't play with them."
"What are they," I asked curious.
"They are called make-up. This is eye shadow. Girls put it on to make themselves more pretty," chimed in Liz.
"Oh," I said. I did not understand why anyone would think painting their faces would make them more pretty.
The two girls rushed us in and out of stores. They bought us some things called shorts, which made sense because they were like short pants. Then they bought us pants and shirts. The pants were much harder to move in than my old clothes. I read what was on the shirts and was confused. I did not know what an "abercrombie" was, and I saw no gap in my shirt.
After what seemed like an eternity, the girls stopped and allowed us to rest. I was ashamed to be so tired. I understand now how Frodo and the other hobbits felt, in a strange land. Oh, how my heart ached at thinking of them. I hoped Frodo succeeds.
"Where should we eat?" asked Tracy. I looked around, there weren't any animals to catch and there wern't any seeds or berries to pick.
"Better try the food-court," said Liz, "These guys won't be able to recognize the good of a menu."
As we walked I could smell more and more wonderful scents. The girls ordered something called a pizza and cokes. We looked around and sat down at an empty table. I tried some of the pizza and it was delicious.
Legolas asked, "Have we finished, or are there more things to get?"
"Only a little more left," replied Tracy.
So after we had finished buying shoes, socks, and hats, we walked home. I had not realized how much time had flown by. When we stepped outside it was nearly dark. I was surprised to see Liz and Tracy looking nervous, for I had thought dark was a good thing, for it had hidden us from enemies many times.
"Come on, let's hurry back," said Tracy as Liz nodded. We were only half of the way home when two men jumped out in front of us. The two men were wearing all black and their faces were masked so that all that could be seen was their eyes.
"Give us your money," said one of the men in a low voice. I noticed they both had a silver thing in their hands. I immediately reached for my swords, but then I remembered what Liz had said, so I did not draw it. I put my hand on Legolas's shoulder, for I could see him reaching for his knives. I saw Liz and Tracy reaching into their bags and taking something out.
"Hurry up," the other man said and he hit Liz on her shoulder. That was all it took for me to get angry. I forgot all about my sword and jumped on top of the guy. He was startled and he fell over, and as he did, the silver thing slipped from his hands. Tracy ran over and kicked it far away.
The other man recovered himself and reached out to grab her, but Legolas was to quick. Legolas punched the guy and sent him sprawling to the ground. As Legolas got out his knives as I unsheathed my sword. The two men scrambled to their feet and ran away.
"Thank you," said Tracy.
"Yeah, thanks," said Liz, and she leaned up and kissed my cheek as Tracy kissed Legolas's.
"Come on, let's go home," Liz said. The rest of the way back passed without incident. We climbed the stairs up to Liz and Tracy's apartment, and went inside. The girls changed and said goodnight. Legolas and I talked for awhile before also going to sleep.
