I was now dressed for dinner and descending the stairs when Legolas caught
up with me.
"I herd you lost another one today." He commented.
"Shut up"
"Oh, common. You can't find one teacher that u can tolerate."
"I said shut up"
"You know I won't," he teased. I turned to him, stared him in the face, gave him a nasty look, and slapped him! Then I turned and continued to descend the stairs. He stood there stunned. By the time I had gotten to the next landing he had recovered and again teased me, " oh dissed by Alaka." With one swift movement, I grabbed the knife I carried in a little pocket on my lower back, and threw it at him. It missed his face by only centimeters and landed in the wall.
"Don't tempt me!" with that I turned and walked away.
Later after dinner, I found my way to the fountain in the middle of the garden. My favorite spot. I laid down on the edge of the fountain with my hand in the water. Peace at last, I though. I was exhausted from the long night. I couldn't keep my eyes open but I was also to lazy to walk up to my room. So I'll do what I would do any other night. I'll sleep there. No one ever came to that spot anymore, that's what I like about it. I wake when I want with none of the morning hassles and that is exactly what I did. Only two people know I have ever done this. Legolas and Elrond, of course.
The next morning I decided to wake at the crack of dawn so I could see the sun rise.
"Beautiful isn't it?" Legolas asked as he came down the path.
"Hmm." I said not really looking at who it was. "Go away. Your ruining the moment." Then I ignored him. He spent the next ten minutes trying to entertain me but I just stared off at the sunrise thinking of what my parents might be like. Seeing he could get not response from me, he left.
I didn't return to the house that day until later in the afternoon, missing yet another lesson. I had snuck into the stable and stolen Legolas' horse. I take on days I don't want Elrond to find me. This way he thought I was in the castle but he wouldn't be able to find me. Legolas knew that I took his horse, but he also knew that if he told on me he'd know he'd be dead by the next morning.
Returning home that night, I was told by Elrond should I miss one more lesson I wouldn't be allowed to continue where I was, but that I would have to start over. That's three years worth of work. Elrond was very disappointed in me. No surprise there, right?
"Alaka", Legolas called going into a light jog to catch up to me.
"Hmm?" I say. I'm on my way to a lesson.
"Wait up." He called.
"Why? I'm going to be late." I ask, "It's been two weeks since I've missed a lesson."
"You won't be as late as the teacher if you don't wait up?"
"What are you rambling about now?" I say as I turn and walk backwards so to continue to talk but also so I won't be late.
"Mulerak is um. busy, so to say."
"And that means?"
"New teacher!"
"Oh yea! I can't wait. I'm so excited!" I said sarcastically. Legolas starts laughing.
"That's what I've been trying to tell you. I'm your teacher." I stop walking.
"Say that again. I did not just hear that." I call up to him.
You see. Legolas' friendship with me is a love/ hate one! We are best friends yet we can barely stand each other at times. It's a best friend/ mortal enemy sort of thing.
"Elrond wouldn't let you!" I say. He stops and turns around.
"Actually, it was his idea. He wants u to be ready." He says and starts walking again.
"Ready for what? Don't walk away Legolas. Don't do it!" and of course he does.
Great. Now what am I supposed to do?
