Disclaimer: ...C'mon people...read the previous 25!
Authors Note: Okay. That cliffhanger was mean. I know. So here's the short, yet plot filled chapter. The next one is longer! Just as a warning...I'm going to Finland for July so after these next four or five chapters there won't be updates for 4 weeks! Also, when I'm away (or when you come up with an idea) please send in ideas for the next plot! Okay. That's about it. Enjoy reading the first appearance of the plot I've been planning since March!
'Microchips are the most common way of being brainwashed by Aliens,' Spy Magazine had said in their Bigfoot Edition. 'Often, the microchips are placed somewhere on the head, so that the brainwashing electric impulses are close to the brain. The electric impulses can be programmed to make a person act a certain way, and usually the alien has a keyboard, or something like it, to control the microchip,' From there the article talked about how rabid sea monkeys are usually the alien's pets.
This article segment passed through Legolas' mind as he lifted Haldir's hair. The blinking light that had led him to lift up the hair appeared to be an honest-to-goodness microchip. Or a very small bomb. But, Legolas assumed it was a microchip. It sat on the back of Haldir's neck, and was almost unnoticeable, except for a blink of red light emitted from it every few seconds.
Legolas reached toward the blinking light slowly, almost feeling like he was in a dream, in an attempt to free Haldir from the brain control.
A snarl brought him back to reality. The next thing he knew was intense pain. The tranquilizer had run out.
"He bit me!" Legolas screamed trying to pry this hand from Haldir's jaws of steel.
A few guards rushed into the cell, bopped Haldir on the head with a stick and freed Legolas from the Jaws of Doom.
A nurse hurried in with a large strip of herb scented cloth to wrap Legolas' hand in.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"My hand was just mauled by a rabid brainwashed elf!" Legolas shouted.
"I was just wondering...," the nurse rolled her eyes and continued wrapping his hand.
Legolas sighed and thought for a minute. "Do you have any herbs that could be used to subdue him?" Legolas asked after a pause.
"...I don't-" the nurse began.
"Anything would be good!" Legolas cut her off. "Anything! Even poison ivy! Could you wrap him up in poison ivy?"
The nurse looked shocked. "No!" She thought for a minute. "Well...I do have another scented cloth. That might make him go to sleep..."
"Perfect!" Legolas smiled.
The nurse hurried off, and soon Haldir was peacefully sleeping with a scented cloth tied around his head.
