Revised Chapter 1
(A/N) Okay, If you have just started reading my story, disregard this note and read the chapter. Now, for all those who have been reading for sometime, as you know Nienna Telepriƫn has been Charity's original name. Now I will only be using Telepriƫn. I don't want my character name after a Valier. That's like saying:
"Hey, my name is Jesus. How you doin?" If I were the person being spoken to, I'd run like Celeborn running away from Rumil. I've only used her name in two chapters, so I hope it won't make a big difference. I really hope you understand! I know I'm a bad writer (T.T) *Readers pick up rocks, author looks nervously around*
Okay...here is the chapter, hope you like it!
Chapter 11~Scantily Clad~
The two elves lay on the ground frightened, their ears ringing from Charity's scream. While the elves were plastered to the ground, Charity sat on the bed shocked, she pulled the bed sheets up to her chest. Haldir put one arm on the bed and pulled himself up, he realized that this was his room. His eyes soon widened when he saw Charity sitting on his bed.
"Charity? What are you doing in my bed?" Haldir asked, emphasizing 'my bed'
Charity looked like a zombie, sitting and staring ahead of her with bewildered eyed. Haldir smirked. Even though he had no recollection of the night before, obviously something had happened. The smirk on his face soon diminished as he saw another blonde elf lazily sit up.
"LEGOLAS! What are you doing in MY ROOM!? Without out a shirt!" Haldir asked with a high-pitched voice, and an expression of terror as if had just seen a Ringwraith.
"Pardon? Who is talking to me?" Legolas rubbed his eyes then squinted.
"HALDIR?!" Legolas yelped and stood up. Charity had snapped out of her trance from all the yelling, and looked around the room.
'Haldir, on the left, fully clothed. Legolas on the right, wearing only a breech. Me wearing tunic...someone kill me!' she thought to herself. Then she picked up a pillow and threw it at Legolas, who gratefully took it.
"Charity...why are you wearing my tunic?" Legolas asked. Charity looked at herself, this was the same tunic Legolas had worn to the celebrations last night.
"I don't know..." She quietly replied.
"There must be a logical explanation for all this!" Legolas said.
Haldir and Charity looked up at the elf, who was covering himself with a pillow. They all had the same thoughts in their head.
'What happened last night that resulted in one elf, scantily clad, another fully clothed, a confused girl wearing Legolas' tunic, and one dress missing.'
There was a sudden knock on the door, making all three stiffen.
"Haldir? Are you well? I heard a scream." A voice said. All three knew it was the voice of Gwilwileth, Legolas had look of fear on his face.
"Yes! I'm quite fine."
"Very well. Oh, have you seen Legolas?" Gwilwileth asked, Legolas quickly shook his head at Haldir.
"No I haven't! Sorry." Haldir lied to the elleth.
"Well, if you do see him, tell him that his father has already left for some sort of emergency."
"I will do so." Haldir shakily said. The three heard her walk away from the room, and they sighed with relief.
"We are lucky she didn't walk in." Haldir said with relief. Legolas looked as if were about to faint, but nodded agreeing with him. Haldir looked at Charity, then he quickly sat up.
Haldir panicked,"Legolas! We have to get her out of here! If Gandalf sees us, we will never see another dawn!
"You expect me to walk these halls wearing a breech?" Legolas said. Haldir rolled his eyes and went into the closet, he came out will a silver tunic.
"Here! Now hurry!" Haldir commanded. Legolas obeyed and put the tunic on quickly, he took a quick glance at Charity. She was off in her own world swearing like crazy at herself.
"Charity, we must go now." Charity bit her lip and slowly got out of bed, she pulled the tunic down, making sure she was well covered. Haldir led the way, Charity followed, and Legolas behind her. It was still early morning, but they kept quiet anyway. They successfully made their way down the stairs. Legolas had his hand on the railing until he felt a cold liquid, his hand was covered in ink, he didn't know why but he quickly rubbed it off on the tunic.
"Legolas! Mind you that is my tunic!" Haldir scolded. Legolas quickly jerked his hand away.
Luckily, the dining hall was empty. Decorations were still hanging on the wall, there were juice stains on the table cloths, occasionally foot prints, probably from the hobbits.
"Good, we made it through the dining hall, we just need to find your room." Haldir said, they walked passed many corridors, but took a halt when they heard whistling from one opened room.
Haldir went incredibly pale, "Gandalf."
Legolas' eyes started to swell up with fear. Charity didn't know why they were afraid, but she stayed still. Gandalf's whistling was getting louder and louder as he stepped closer. Haldir and Legolas frantically looked at each other, they didn't know what to do. Sweat started to drip from their faces, they could hear his staff pounding on the ground. Legolas and Haldir quickly backed up onto the wall, they pulled Charity along.
Soon Haldir and Legolas would be pinned against a tree and Gandalf would be shooting spears and arrows at them. The thought of the places he would aim at made the two elves scrunch their faces in pain. To their surprise, Arwen appeared down the hall. She stopped dead in her tracks at the site; two elves sweating in fear, and one girl scantily clad absentmindedly looking at the ground. Haldir looked at Arwen with relief, and pointed at the door then Charity.
Arwen took awhile to understand what he was asking, she looked at Charity and the door again. Then realized it was Gandalf's room, she gave Haldir and Legolas a 'You owe me' look and walked into the room.
"Good morning Gandalf! I need to talk to you for a moment...about...your staff!" Arwen said, she shut the door letting the three quickly run away. Haldir and Legolas dragged Charity away from the wall, she didn't know why they were running so far. The hallway they were in now, was familiar.
"We're close to my room." She said, and they finally slowed down. Haldir kept looking back, afraid that he'd find the wizard running towards them in rage. He would be one father never to cross. Charity stopped in front of her door, then looked at the two elves. There was an awkward moment of silence.
"I'm going to go into my room and I'm going to have an argument with myself now." She said and went into her room and shut the door in their faces, leaving the elves confused.
"Do you think she's still drunk?" Legolas asked, but before Haldir could answer someone yelled out at them.
"HALDIR! LEGOLAS!" Arwen marched up to them furiously, she grabbed their ears and dragged them from the hallway.
"Arwen! Ow!" The two exclaimed as they were dragged off.
"You have a great deal of explaining to do!"
*******In Charity's room*******
Charity paced back and forth in her room, trying to think of some possible explanation, but couldn't think of one. In frustration she cursed several times, enough times she'd be dragged to hell and back again.
'Okay, work this out one by one. First, why did I wake up with Legolas' tunic...I don't know...Second, why did I wake up with Haldir, who by the way was fully clothed...I don't know...Why did I wake up with Legolas, whom I seem to despise and add the fact that he was hardly wearing anything...I DON'T KNOW!'
She decided to change into something more appropriate, anything that wasn't of Legolas' possession was fine with her. As soon as she changed, she had an odd desire to go to the dining room.
When she got to the dining room, she found Gimli and Aragorn sitting at a table. Four hobbits sat at another table, watching her every move. Aragorn noticed her presence and looked at her.
"You look like you've been dragged to Morder and beaten." Aragorn noted. Gimli also looked up at her, while taking a sip of his drink, the four hobbits were on the edge of their seats. They all waited for a response.
"I just woke up in Haldir's bedroom...with him...on the his bed." She said. Aragorn had almost fallen off his chair and Gimli was frozen, the hobbits started snickering.
There was an awkward moment of silence.
"And Legolas too." She bluntly said. Resulting in Aragorn falling off his chair, Gimli dropping his drink on his lap which was very hot, and the hobbits on the floor laughing.
*****************************
Legolas and Haldir scowled in pain as they were dragged into an empty room.
"You feeble minded elflings!" Arwen scolded.
"Who said I was an elfling!" Haldir put his hand up in protest, Arwen glared at him and Haldir quickly put his hand down.
"Do you know what would have happened if Gandalf caught you?" Arwen put her hands on her hips, the two elves looked at each other.
"Would he have hung us upside down on a Mirkwood tree at night, and leave us to be eaten by spiders?" Legolas said.
"No...something much worst!"
"Tie us to a rock on Ered Gorgoroth and let Ungoliant's offspring eat us?" Haldir said.
"That was practically may idea." Legolas said, they sounded like a pair of bickering girls.
"Bring us to the West Gate of Moria and drop us into the water of Sirannon. Then let the watcher rip off our limps?" Haldir tried again.
Arwen stood still, amazed at their imaginations, although it was a bit morbid.
"No...he would have rendered you impotent...how would you say it?" Arwen calmly said. "Oh yes, he would've castrated you."
Haldir and Legolas let out a squeal of fright and almost fainted.
"But you two deserved it! After what happened last night!" She yelled at them.
"We honestly don't know what we did! We never meant to do anything with Charity, honest!" They both recited.
Arwen eyed the two with an arched eyebrow, "I wasn't talking about what you did with Charity."
Legolas and Haldir gulped, "We did other things?"
*********************************
The hobbits had managed to stop rolling on the ground and laughing, now they were back in their seat. Well, Sam and Frodo managed to get onto their seats, Pippin and Merry had fallen off repeatedly. Aragorn was still gawking at Charity.
"Oh! It worked well!" Merry said to Pippin, they clapped their hands triumphantly.
"What do you mean it worked well?" Charity asked. She suspiciously looked at them, then it suddenly hit her. Last night all three were drunk, by the same wine. Which was given to her by, none other, than the hobbits.
"OH! You are so freakin' dead!" Charity yelled out, she was about to run over to kill them, but Aragorn quickly restrained her as she flailed and cursed. Just imagine Aragorn as a bouncer at a bar restraining a drunk and insane costumer.
"Calm down Charity! Don't you want to do what happened?" Frodo asked. Charity gave him a questioning look.
"Fine." She said, and Aragorn let go of her.
"Tell me how I ended up in that bed or else you'll never be able smoke pipe weed again." She demanded.
Frodo started, "Basically, after Haldir and Legolas finished making fools of themselves, all three of you went outside. Haldir accidently dropped the wine bottle into a fountain, so he dived into the fountain to get it. You, being drunk, also went into the fountain thinking Haldir would drown, even though the water was up to his knees."
"Legolas was busy hanging upside down on tree branches, so he didn't jump in. After the fountain incident, you wanted to go change." Merry said.
"But Legolas complained about having to go to both your rooms. Legolas, at that time being so mindless that an orc could surpass his intelligence, gave you his tunic." Sam stated.
"When you were in Haldir's room, Legolas passed out onto the bed. You were also tired and fell asleep too. Eventually Haldir passed out." Pippin finished.
"So...nothing happened in his room, right?" Charity asked nervsouly .
"No, nothing of that sort happened." Frodo said, being the only one to know what she meant. Charity felt relieved that she had just fallen asleep on Haldir's bed last night, and nothing more.
"Well, how do you know all of this?" Charity said suspiciously.
"Oh, easy. Hobbits make good spies!" Pippin smiled.
"Alright. I'm a bit confused, you said after Legolas and Haldir finished making fools of themselves?"
Pippin pulled out a chair for Charity, " Oh, let us tell you the story of two elves drunk on elenos, and one maiden with great creativity."
****************************
"Well? Answer us!" Legolas demanded.
"Yes, you fools! You did other things last night, that made every lady blush and every lord squirm." Arwen said. Legolas and Haldir looked at each other, both wondering what they had done.
"Well...you were..." Arwen turned a deep shade of red. "YouweregrindingwiththetreeofMinasTirith." She quickly said.
"Pardon?" Haldir said.
Arwen took a deep breath, "You were...grinding with...or I should say on the White Tree of Minas Tirith. I was scared that the tree would wilt. If an ent saw you, you'd be dead so fast you wouldn't be able to scream Morgoth fast enough."
Awkward silence....
Legolas turned his head slowly, the ends of his quivered, as he took a glance at Haldir he started laughing. Haldir was basically stripped of his dignity and sitting in a chair like a ragged doll.
"That's absurd! I would never do such thing!" Haldir defended.
"Indeed it was you! Ask any elleth, the image of you grinding with a tree will be vividly etched into their minds forever...Actually it reminds me of the time when Elladan got drunk."
"Elladan? I heard it was just Elrohir that got drunk." Legolas said, him still being sane as Haldir was stupefied.
"Elrohir got drunk about fifty summers ago, but Elladan had gotten drunk more recently. Oh! You should've been there, he...Legolas! Stop trying to get me off of topic!" Arwen scolded, Legolas shrunk back into his seat.
"Legolas, your behavior was absolutely distasteful!" Arwen said, again her face turned red. Haldir, still embarrassed decided to listen.
"There is no possible way I could have done something worst than dance with a tree."
"What about singing an obscene song which would count as sexual innuendo, and indecent exposure?" Arwen stated. "Oh, and trying to flirt with Haldir."
Haldir jumped out of his seat and dragged his chair to the other side of the room, away from Legolas. He sat down, put his face in his hands, and shook his head.
A shocked Legolas said, "WHAT?"
"First you were singing about a drink called a milkshake. You stated how you make men go crazy and make them whine. How you can make a milkshake and gather people into a 'yard'. And how you have to charge people...Your singing and dancing could've scared an army of Uruk-hai."
Legolas smacked his head, he knew it was the song Charity had sung the night before.
******************************
The hobbits were practically crying with laughter. Their story was hard to understand through their hyperventilating laughter. Charity also laughed along. Aragorn and Gimli sat in astonishment, still listening to the story with the last of their sanity.
"I can't believe that happened!" Charity laughed, "All we need is a burlesque striptease!"
The group's laughter started to die down and Charity was the only one laughing. They all looked at her.
"I didn't...do a striptease...did I?" Charity nervously asked.
Very long silence.........
"No." Aragorn replied.
"But you did vandalize a door. You wrote some very interesting messages. Then you decided that writing on the door wasn't good enough, so you decided to move your creativity to innocent people sleeping."
Charity bit her lip in confusion. 'What is he talking about?' She leaned back onto the wooden chair. A guard walked silently by, her eyes widened. The guard had a mustache drawn on him, like the KFC guy's mustache.
'Crap'
****************************
Legolas' face was red with embarrassment, he wondered how many ellith had heard him sing. This would surely be remembered for along time.
"I'm not done yet Legolas!" Arwen said. Legolas slowly lifted his head, Haldir was in the back of the room snickering.
Arwen looked back and forth at the two elves, "After your horrid display of entertainment, you started flirting with a guard." Legolas let his head fall again, and Haldir was now laughing.
"The poor guard was so scared he ran from his post! Then you decided to turn onto Haldir." Haldir stopped laughing and backed his chair away.
"I can't believe this! Please say you're jesting!" Legolas whined.
"No, I'm not jesting. And that's not even the rest of the story." Arwen cocked her head back, "You proceeded to the gardens with Charity. The garden was full of couples spending time with each other. You decided it would be funny to hide in a bush and eavesdrop. As the couples were about to share a passionate kiss, you jumped out and yelled- I am hung like a horse!-"
Another very odd moment of silence, until Legolas squeaked.
"Which resulted in maidens fainting, and angry men trying to hunt you down."
"Please don't say my father saw this all."
"No...luckily he was talking with Elrond and Galadriel. Which is very fortunate for Haldir."
"What of Gandalf?"
"He was busy talking with my brothers. If he'd seen what you two did, you'd be in a pit filled with wargs. If he was in a good mood, he'd feed the wargs before dropping you in the pit." Haldir and Legolas nervously laughed.
"Thank the Valar he did not see that."
"Well things can't get worst...right?" Haldir asked.
"Actually, Charity-" Arwen stopped as she felt the room become suddenly tense, Legolas' face was painted with horror. She slowly turned around, and there stood Gandalf.
He lifted his head, "Haldir and Legolas...we need to have a little chat."
Legolas and Haldir slowly stood from their seat. Arwen looked at both of them and made a cutting sound, she smiled and mouthed to Legolas 'So much for hung like a horse.'
***********************
"Charity, what you did was hilarious!" Pippin said.
"Well...I don't even know what I've really done! Except that I drew on people's faces, but what did I write on the door?"
"Fine, fine! We'll tell you!" Merry said.
Charity sat patiently waiting for a response, but Merry had practically frozen. So had the other hobbits. Gimli pointed behind her, she turned around. Gandalf stood at the door, Legolas and Haldir were behind him, with their faces whiter than Gandalf's robes.
"Well hobbits, we need to talk." Gandalf calmly said. The hobbits knew they were busted.
"You should come along Charity." Gandalf added.
Charity walked behind Legolas, they passed by many elves with drawn mustaches. Some were desperately trying to rub it off. As Charity mindlessly walked on,
not knowing what was going on, Haldir and Legolas were practically twitching in fright. They all walked with their heads down, as if they were going off to
their execution, except for Charity who bobbed her head to the Milkshake song.

If your wondering what she drew on the door, that won't be revealed till the next chapter. Anyways, I hope you review!
I live on reviews like Cher and her excessive botox treatments. (No offense to her, I like some of her songs!)
