Very special thanks this time to the only two people who reviewed the last
chapters, Imbefaniel and Vardalothwen.
So you asked me to update a.s.a.p. and here it is, I guess the chapter is
for you then. :-)
To everybody else who might be reading this : Would you !please! review ? I'm not going to update anymore if I don't get any reviews to keep my mood up ! ------------------------------------------------------------~*~------------- ---------------------------------------------------
'You know what ?'
'What ?'
'It'd be easy for Galadriel to figure out that it was you and me who got the mirror out.'
'For real ? Why ?'
'You are the only one who has a key.'
'Somebody stole it from me .'
'Really ? Then how do we get into the place ?'
'Legolas Greenleaf. Of course nobody stole it from me! That's what I'm going to tell the lady of the light-bulb if she asks me how it comes that I'm the only one except her with a key and the mirror is gone.'
I look at him , while he's having a fit of laughter, very embarrassed again. God, that was a dumb question.
Haldir is walking next to me on the way to get some breakfast. The healer thought we were both fine and could leave. Actually I guess he let us leave because he was bugged out by glorfindel's frequent noisy outbursts in the corridor. I wouldn't like it if I was in charge of the place and there was some elven-lord having an explosion of fury every few minutes and stomping about like a wounded rhino.
'It's okay , leggo, happens to me all the time.'
'You don't think I'm a real teenager because of it ?'
'No. I know that you're a real teenager, still. But I don't care. I love you being like that .'
Oh, that flattered me. A blush creeps up in my cheeks.
'It's cute ,' he says smiling.
'Stop it., haldir. Do you want me to go red all over ?'
'I wouldn't mind, either. You're always cute, remember ?'
Okay, now I'm so deep purple that it can't get any worse. I hate people who can flatter me and still keep the air of being honest.
The breakfast is not all that much better. Haldir and I both love teasing and playing around with the food and he gets the full blast of 'eating-food- in-a-sexy-fashion' that I actually reserved for glorfindel only but he's still mad at me, so why waste the opportunity?
'Okay. Listen. Galadriel takes a beauty-nap every day at exactly one o'clock. Until two o'clock she'll be napping so we'll have plenty of time to get that dumb mirror.
'We don't just need the mirror .' I'm picking some berries out of the fruit- bowl and eat them messily enough to make it look nice.
'No ? What else ?', haldir asks, his eyes fixed on the berries.
'Glorfindel .'
'Oh, yes. I forgot him . We'll get him when we need him, I guess.'
'Oh. Okay.' I lick my fingers clean and haldir eyes go for a spilt seconds huge like dinner-plates before he regains control of them.
'What were we talking about ?', he asks confusedly.
'Glorfindel and getting him.'
'Yes, right. Let's go then. First things first. We'll get the mirror.'
Galadriel has a pavilion out in the garden where the trees and flowers are the most beautiful. Haldir and I have to sneak through a lot of shrubbery before we can see the white wooden building in the middle of a little clearing.
' There it is ,' haldir says, the leaved branches he wears on his head for camouflage swaying about. 'She'll be asleep already. Still, we got to be careful, she wakes easily, okay .'
I nod. 'Okay.'
Haldir and I both wear leaf-green robes and crowns of leafy shrubbery twigs and branches on our heads to blend in with the plants. A great idea I had before we got here.
We sneak over the wet grass noiselessly. Luckily it's not raining yet but the iron-gray sky is a promise that it will. Haldir unlocks and opens the door and we slip in, looking about. My name is Greenleaf, legolas Greenleaf. I could very well imagine some pink panther music as a soundtrack to what we do.
'This way .', whispers haldir and I follow him.
'Who is there ?', a voice suddenly calls and I nearly get a heart-attack. Darn haldir! I thought she was asleep!
'Come on !' Haldir tugs my sleeve and pulls me into a little room in the next corridor which turns out to be a wardrobe.
'She heard us already !'
'Shut up or she will.'
'But haldir, she'll know that we are in here! She knows everything !'
'Quiet !', haldir hisses.
If glorfindel knew what I'm going through to prove my faith to him he would love me even more than he ever did before. I need that mirror but still I'm sure that Galadriel knows our hide-out and will pull the door open in dreadfully near future.
'Haldir, if we meet her in the corridor we can explain. If she finds us like this it's obvious that we are up to something no good.'
'Oh brother ! If you're not quiet now, I'll do something you won't want to silence you, right ? She's right in front of the door !'
'But I .'
I can't finish my sentence because haldir's knee suddenly parts my legs very gently and his hands start roaming about under my tunic. All I manage is a sharp intake of breath. Haldir pulls back soon after that but his hands under my clothes left me speechless. We just seem to knock into situations like this. Oh, Glorfindel, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to let him. I didn't know he would do THAT.
At least the door stays closed and Haldir and I wait in the darkness for a while. I'm so close to him that I can feel is shallow breath against my neck while I'm straining my ears for some sound. It's so strange to stand like this with somebody I barely know and who keeps getting me into trouble. One thing is certain : Being with haldir is not boring.
'I think she's gone .'
'Okay.'
'Well, how about letting go of me and get out of here ?', haldir asks and I hear that I chuckles.
'Oh, of course .' I pull and back. 'Where's the door ?'
'How do I know .?', he asks. 'Grope around and see if you find it.'
I let my hands run over the walls and Galadriel's dresses. At least what I think are dresses.
'Mmmh .', is haldir's opinion to my groping around in the dark and it sounds like a very content cat.
'Oh, sorry ,' I say and pull back again. 'I didn't know that was you .'
'That's okay, don't worry ,' haldir answers and I sense that he smiles. 'By the way, the door is here .'He opens it a bit and light falls through the crack. His smile is wicked. 'Let's go.'
I look at him with narrowed eyes. 'You knew where the door is all the time ?'
'No! Would I have made you look for it ?'
'I don't know.'
'No.' But when he leaves the room I could swear that another smile is crossing his face.
'Come on, it's over here .'
We have to pass through several splendor-rooms and haldir unlocks a lot of doors until we reach a silver bowl on a pedestal in a tiny room.
'What, this is it ?'
'Trust me.'
'I thought it is a mirror.'
'It is. Now take it or leave it. Do you want to get glorfindel to believe you or do you just want to go back and leave glorfindel in the belief that you had it off with me ?'
'Okay, okay. We take it .'
'We ?'
'It looks darn heavy.'
'Who tells you that I'm going to help you carry that boulder ?'
'The little voice in my head. Now come on.'
Haldir looks at me defiantly and throws his silvery hair over his shoulder. 'No.'
'Please ?' I'm batting my eyelids rapidly to look as cute as possible. You wouldn't say no to something so cute.
'Yes, you are cute,' he says. 'But no.'
'Please Haldir, please ! I need to get this thing out of here and I can't carry it alone. It's huge !'
'No.'
'What do you want me to do ? Why did you guide me here if you don't want to help me get the mirror out of here ? Do you want us to get caught.'
'No. Not at all.'
'So what's wrong ? Why won't you help me ?'
I'm slowly turning angry. Who does he think he is ?
'You got to give me something and I'll help you .'
'Forget it. Screw the f*cking mirror ! I can do without! Glorfindel loves me and he will see that I didn't do anything with you !'
Haldir narrows his eyes. 'Do what you wanna do.'
I suddenly see that anger won't get me anywhere. If I want this to be a proof of my faith I have to get haldir into helping me.
'Haldir, please. Please. I'm begging. What more do you want ? See me on my knees ? I need this to rescue my relationship.'
'You don't even have a relationship yet.'
'The more I need this mirror. I don't want to lose glorfindel, don't you understand ?'
Haldir's eyes are hard like mahogany when he finally answers : 'Okay. All right. I'll help you.'
I wonder where the problem was when we carry the huge silver-bowl out of the pavilion. Why did he refuse at first ? And why do I keep having strange accidents with him ?
Whatever, who cares. I got the mirror and my relationship with glorfindel is as good as started up. The first thing when I get out of the house is dumping the mirror on an old tree-trunk in a clearing and run to get glorfindel to show him what really happened.
