The Misadventures of Caladriel and Rinnalaiss
By Ellie in ElfPajamas
Starring: Caladriel, Legolas, Thranduil, Rinnalaiss, Elladan, Elrohir, Arwen, Elrond, Glorfindel, Erestor, Halbarad, and an Elf named Faelon Beriorgan.
Okay, major no-no here, Rinnalaiss is an extra daughter to Elrond, Caladriel is Legolas' younger sister. Rinnalaiss might be adopted, I'm not real sure, but her older brothers Elladan and Elrohir dote on their tomboyish little sister. She's the baby of the family sort of, although older than Estel in years, she is still quite childish. Caladriel is not allowed to be the tomboy she wants to be, and is only Legolas' half sister. This is preLotR, Estel is only about thirty or forty. Why all this guessing? This is a transcribed dream, that's why. Oh, and a groom in this story is not a groom in the sense of bride and groom, a groom is actually someone who takes care of the horses.
And this switches from Third person to first, usually Caladriel's POV. I kinda dreamed it as an onlooker that they didn't see, but sometimes I was in her head.
Chapter eight: Nightmares and Dreams.
Faelon and Legolas, once bitter toward each other, were now seated side by side, anxiously watching Calad as she slept. Elrond had told them both several times that she would be fine. It wasn't that they didn't believe him, it was just that they wanted to see it for themselves. Calad had been halucinating when Legolas had brought her in, and she'd bitten her own brother when he'd tried to hold her still, but now she was sound asleep, thanks in part to Elrond's favorite tea. Legolas momentarilly looked from his sister to his bruised hand. He hadn't seen a bruise like that since the last time Mithy had bitten him. Of course, that time Mithy had nearly severed his thumb. Legolas realized to his chagrin that Faelon had saved him that time too. Calad's soft golden hair was everywhere, spilling over her pillows, blanket, shoulders, chest, bed, brother's lap, and Faelon's arms. Neither Legolas or Faelon minded for a moment that Calad's hair was on them, it never registered.
Calad stirred in her sleep, and both the prince and the lord held their breath, wondering what would happen. Elrond rolled his eyes at the anxiousness of the two younger Elves. Calad's eyelashes fluttered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My head feels so clouded and heavy. My eyes refuse to open. I can sense the light, and it is giving me a terrible headache. Someone softly calls my name. I wish with all my might that it was Faelon. I wonder what has become of him, if he was taken by the Spiders before they got to me. He wasn't there when I called him, he had ridden ahead, perhaps he got past the Spiders. No, the odds are against me. I hope my brother did not let those beasts get away with it, I hope he slew them all.
That voice, it's calling me again. It sounds so much like Faelon, but I don't dare to believe that it's his. I shouldn't get my hopes up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Faelon leaned close to Calad, taking her hand in his.
"Caladriel..." he called softly. "Caladriel, wake up."
Her eyelashes fluttered again.
A moment later, her eyes opened, a confused expression in them.
"Caladriel, Calad, Legolas is here." Faelon said softly, feeling her anxious brother lean over his shoulder.
Legolas willed Calad to focus her eyes and look at him. She didn't. She looked at Faelon.
"Faelon? You're alive?! The Spiders didn't get you, oh, thank Iluvatar!" she said quickly.
"I thank Him every day, Calad. Your brother is worried about you, why don't you say something to him." Faelon encouraged.
"Legolas, are you mad at me?" Calad asked, shutting her eyes.
"No, no, I'm not mad at you, Calad." Legolas said, surprised by her question.
"Even though I got myself into this mess?" Calad pushed.
"Even though. I'm just glad that you didn't come to more serious harm." Legolas said, smoothing his sister's hair back. "I'm too relieved to be mad."
"How did you find me?" Calad asked.
"Your war-cry." Faelon teased, his eyes lighting up. "We could hear you more than a hundred feet away. You can really screach when you've a mind to."
Legolas agreed.
"It sent chills up and down my spine, I can tell you that! I'm surprised the Spiders didn't run!" he laughed.
Caladriel laughed softly.
"I don't know how I can live with you two, you're both such teases!" she said, pretending to pout. "You're ever so mean to me!"
"Yes, but we wouldn't tease you if we didn't love you. Right, Faelon?" Legolas asked, clapping a hand on the dark haired half-Elf's shoulder.
"Exactly." Faelon agreed. "It's only because we love you, Calad."
THE END.
Look for the sequel teaser within the next week. If there's any interest, I'll post it.
