Target Practice and Meeting the Fellowship
I was grinning like a kid in the toy store. There were weapons of all kinds everywhere. There were swords, daggers, bows and arrows, throwing knives, hatchets, axes, spears, staffs, shields, armor, and some weird pointy objects that I didn't know the names of.
"Ohh, look at this." Stephanie ran over to a random wall and took down a crossbow. She grabbed a random arrow and put it in the crossbow, then started to mess with it trying to see how it worked.
Danielle was busy pulling down spears and then discovering that they were much heavier than they looked, dropped some. "Oops, it wasn't me!" Danielle claimed. Meanwhile, I had walked over to where all different types of throwing knives were kept and was busy picking up and examining each one. All the weapons were very well made, probably since it was the elves that made them.
Just as I was holding an especially sharp looking knife, Stephanie decided to yell over to us "Hey, I think I figured this thingy-ma-bobber out. (Wow, she might of actually figured something out. Quick someone call the news crew.) Who wants to see if I can hit that gross-looking vase over there." She pointed to the other side of the room.
Her sudden yelling had caught me by surprise and I had accidentally cut open the palm of my right hand with the earlier mentioned sharp knife. "YYEEOOWWW" *followed by some not too silent cursing* But before I could run over and start strangling Stephanie for startling me I heard Danielle scream bloody murder, then yell "Duck and cover."
Apparently Stephanie was about to shoot off a crossbow that she had never heard of let alone used before. That was my cue to start panicking. I screamed and dove under a conveniently placed table with my hands covering my head.
I heard a 'Thwang' sound of the crossbow being shoot off, but what I heard next shocked all of us. It was the sound of pottery, in this case really ugly pottery, shattering.
I slowly came out from hiding under the table to see Stephanie doing a victory dance and Danielle standing there in shock while looking at pieces of the vase that were all over the floor of the other side of the room with an arrow in the wall.
I stared at Stephanie who was still holding the crossbow, then over to the arrow stuck in the wall. Then I got a crazy idea. 'What if…Can she actually do what I think she might be able to?' I thought to myself.
Totally forgetting about the deep cut in my palm for a minute, I quickly ran over to another wall which held shields on it. I found two that looked like they might have been a little lighter than the others and took them down.
I picked up one and walked over to Danielle. "Here take this." I said to her without explaining why. "What is this for?" she asked, then got a panicked look on her face. She pointed at me accusingly. "Oh no, you have that look on your face again. The one you get when you suddenly have an idea that always seems like a bad idea." "Yeah, but isn't it true that no matter how crazy my idea is, it usually works?" I ask her. "Well, I guess…What's going through your head this time?" Danielle says hesitantly.
I walk back over to the other shield that I had found and picked it up. Then I went over towards the archery supplies and picked up an arrow and walked over towards Stephanie who was still doing a crazy victory dance while chanting, "I did it, I did it, go me, go me," over and over again.
I shot an insane 'I sure as heck hope I'm not about to kill us all' grin towards Danielle who was still watching me warily. I turned back towards Stephanie and put my non-bloody hand on her shoulder to get her attention. She turned to me while grinning like a mad person. (Isn't that what she is though?)
"Stephanie, listen very closely. I want you to take this" I handed her the arrow. "and use the crossbow again and try to shoot…" I looked around the room and spotted another vase that looked better than the last one but it was too bad, I needed a target. It was farther away than the first one though. 'Perfect.' "…that vase over there." I finished while pointing out the new target to her.
"Ok." Stephanie readily agreed. "You're crazy!" Danielle told me. "Aren't we all? I would shield myself if I were you." I retorted while putting up my own shield. 'Lord, these thing are heavy.' My right hand was throbbing in pain but I just told myself that I would deal with it right after this little "test".
I peeked out from behind my shield to see Stephanie position herself to take aim. She looked like she was actually trying to concentrate hard. Then we all heard the distinct 'thwang' of the arrow being shot and right before our eyes, it struck the vase straight on, shattering it immediately.
I dropped my shield to the side and walked up to Stephanie. *now doing a new victory dance* "Congratulations," I said with a grin, "I think we just found something that you're a natural at, besides being insane of course."
My stomach suddenly decided that this was the time to tell me I was hungry. "Come on, we can't stay here for much longer. If anyone finds out what we did to this place, or what we could do with these weapons, they might try to ban us from here or something." I informed them.
Danielle finally came out of her shocked state. "Yeah, I guess you're right." She tossed her shield to the side. "We will probably have plenty of time to raid this place later. Come on Stephanie, you will have lots of time later to try out that crossbow." "But I'm having fun." Stephanie whined. "We're going to go eat now." I told her. "Yay food! Where's the food, I'm hungry, FOOD!!!" *drops crossbow and takes off running out of the armory and heads in some random direction out of sight*
*Danielle and I sweat drop*
"Anyway, I just want to do one more thing." I tell Danielle. I run over to the throwing knives and take about half a dozen, including the one that cut me. "There's so many I think they can live without these." I tell Danielle while hiding the knives in some of my pockets and the ones I couldn't fit I put in my shoes. "Who knows, maybe I might a natural with these and not even know it." "Right, believe what you want." Danielle said playfully.
I then started chasing her out of the room. Once we were outside though she turned to me with a grin and said, "You go on ahead and I'll catch up. I'm just going to make a mark on this door so we know which one leads to the armory." "Fine then, just don't do anything crazy." We stared at each other for a minute then we both burst out laughing. Asking her to not do anything crazy was like asking Hiei to wear a pink dress then to go skipping through a field of flowers while singing "I'm so pretty". (I remember that song from Anger Management)
I was still laughing as I walked down the corridor because with my strange mind I could actually picture Hiei doing that in my mind. 'Good thing he's not here to read my thoughts.'
I turned the corner and ran right into someone. Not so much the force of running into this person, but the shock (I seem to be getting a lot of shocks today) of suddenly seeing a person come out of nowhere made me loose my balance and, not to gracefully, get reacquainted with Mr. Ground, which I had already visited once just this morning. (Remember falling out of the bed?) *me muttering curses under my breath*
"Oh, indeed I am terribly sorry my lady." The new person reached out a hand offering to help me up. I looked up to see none other than Gandalf standing there leaning on his staff with his hand still held out to me. He also had an apologetic smile on his face.
A thought struck me then. 'Maybe Gandalf knows how we got here or why we're here, or how we could get back home if we need to. If we tell anybody that we're from another world I don't know any others that would believe us or could help us more than Gandalf.'
I shook myself out of my thoughts and smiled up at Gandalf. "It's ok, I've been getting used to visiting the floor lately." I told him. I accepted his offer of help to get off the floor and grabbed his hand. Surprisingly he pulled me up quite easily. 'He looks so old but is still quite strong.'
Suddenly the smile disappeared from his face and he looked at his hand. "You are hurt." He stated. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that." I looked at my hand and all the pain seemed to come back to me now. It stung like hell and there was blood running down my arm now. (I know that it's almost impossible to not notice something like this for so long but please bear with me.)
He gave me a 'how in the world could you not have noticed that' look then said, "Follow me. We will find something to help heal that." He turned and started walking down some random hallway and I just shrugged and followed him while using my left hand to put pressure on my right to try to stop the bleeding.
After a little bit of walking in silence Gandalf decided to start talking. "Dare I say that I'm right in assuming that you are one of the four girls that was found a few days ago just on the border of Rivendale?" I saw him glance at, what the people here probably think of as, my strange clothing and then he gave a mysterious smile that made me wonder how much he knew.
Meanwhile, we had went into a room that seemed to be like a storage area for medical supplies and Gandalf had gotten out some bandages and some kind of medicine for me to use. I thanked him then quickly put on the medicine and started wrapping up my hand to finally stop the bleeding.
"Yep, you sure got that right." I replied. "I am Gandalf the Gray, and may I ask you your name my lady." I smirked and answered, "Sure if it will stop you from calling me 'my lady' all the time. My name is Kristina ____." I suddenly got serious. 'Here goes nothing.' I thought.
"And I already knew who you were Gandalf the Gray or Mithrander. I also know about the ring of power. We need to talk." I finished and watched him closely hoping that I'm doing the right thing.
First he looked shocked, then suspicious, then finally he got a serious look on his face. "Yes, I suppose we do. How do you know of the one ring. I'm guessing that you are not a spy because a spy wouldn't be as stupid as to carelessly give away information like this." "No I'm not a spy. But this is why I wanted to talk to you, because if I said anything like this in front of anyone else they would have probably assumed that I was a spy and I would probably be dead right now." I said.
"We should most likely discuss these matters in private. Come with me." Gandalf instructed me and I followed him into another room close by that looked like some kind of small, private library. I should probably wait for my friends to be here so that we all have a say in this, but I had no idea where they were right now. 'Actually, Stephanie is most likely off in the dining hall cramming her face with food along with the hobbits, Danielle has probably gone Legolas hunting, and Amber is probably lurking in some dark place looking for good blackmail.' Now that I think about it, it might actually be a good thing that they're not here right now.
A hour later after long stories, explanations, questions, some answers, agreements, and warnings which were said mainly by me after we heard Danielle running past the door that led to the room we were in screaming something like "Legolas you can't run forever. Come on, I just want a hug."
Gandalf had believed that we might of actually come from another world since we sure didn't act like anyone from this one. Also, I went back to my room to find my bag and showed him my video camera as proof of technology.
After all of the explanations Gandalf told me that he would talk to Elrond about our curious predicament, and they would see if they could figure out how we got there, or if there was anyway to get us back. He gave me a weird look when I said he could take his time with finding a way to get us home because we were sure to find plenty to do until then. Gandalf had also told me that the council of the ring was going to be held the next day.
"I will go and speak to Elrond now. I advise you to find your friends and go to the dining hall to eat dinner." Gandalf told me after my stomach had growled rather loudly for the fifth time in the last ten minutes. I nodded and we both headed off in separate directions.
I decided to go after Danielle first, since all I had to do was follow the trail of startled, hot male elves that had accidentally gotten in Danielle's path. 'Danielle has to learn that it's not always good to hug every cute looking elf in that she sees. They can fight back if necessary.' I thought while remembering the armory.
Five minutes later
I was bored, not to mention hungry, and neither was good. Suddenly as I turned another corner I ran into someone yet again. 'That's it! I have run into people, literally, to many times today. I have to start using a mirror or something to look around corners to make sure no one is coming.' Now I was mad.
I looked over towards the person that had run into me to see that this time it was none other than the Prince of Mirkwood, Legolas Greenleaf. "Please pardon me my lady, I was just in a hurry but I should have been watching more to where I was going." Legolas said. He looked a little out of breath. He was probably running from Danielle, and seemed to have lost her for the minute.
Now I have nothing against Legolas, in fact I really liked his character in the story, but given the current mood I was in I couldn't help but come up with an evil little idea. "Let me guess," I started to say while brushing away his apology like nothing was wrong, "you are trying to get away from an elf obsessed girl that is a little taller than me, has straight, blonde hair that is a little shorter than yours, and bright blue eyes." He looked at me with a surprised expression then asked, "Why actually yes, how did you know?" "Oh, she's just a crazed friend of mine. Listen if you want to get away from her I suggest you go hide in the dining hall where there are a lot of people so that it's harder to find you. You know, hiding in numbers." I told him. He stared at me for a minute before replying, "I guess that is a good idea." Then he ran off towards the dining hall. "Baka, he doesn't know me very well does he?" I muttered to myself with a smirk.
Just then Danielle came running down the hallway at top speed. "Stop Danielle. Come we are going to find the others, then we are going to the dining hall." I told her. She stopped then said, "But I wanted to find Legolas, he couldn't of gotten that far." "Don't worry I'm sure you will be seeing him again soon enough. Do you know where Stephanie or Amber are?" I asked her. "Well Stephanie is probably already in the dining hall eating, but as for Amber uhhh…" "The gardens." We both said at the same time.
We then walked around until we found a random elf and asked which way it was to the gardens. The elf got a nervous look on his face when he saw Danielle and Danielle started drooling at the sight of the hot elf. After I had gotten the directions I quickly grabbed Danielle's arm and dragged her away and outside.
After twenty minutes of thorough searching we found Amber up in a tree with her camera looking around for her newest victim. I picked up a rock that I found on the ground, took careful aim, then chucked the rock right at Amber's head. It hit her in the back of the head and she fell out of the tree with a yell. "That was only part of my revenge for what you did earlier." I told her. I could hear muffled cursing coming from the base of the tree where Amber fell. Amber got up and brushed herself off then glared at me. "Now come on we need to get to the dining hall before all the foods gone. We also need to meet the Fellowship that still doesn't know that they are the Fellowship yet." I told her and then started walking back inside. Both Danielle and Amber followed.
As we walked I told them that I had told Gandalf our story and that he was going to try to help us out. There was no protesting from them probably because they knew if they were there they would have had to sit there bored for an hour and I would of probably been the one explaining everything anyway.
After finally getting instructions and finding our way to the dining hall we went in to eat. We walked in to a huge room filled with many people all eating and talking. Gandalf suddenly appeared next to me saying, "Come, there are seats for the three of you over at this table." He directed us over to a large table that had many other people sitting there already.
The other people I recognized almost immediately. There was Elrond at the head of the table, Aragorn was sitting next to Arwen on one side, then there was also Boromir and Gimli. On the other side was Stephanie, Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, and down near the end, Legolas. Legolas looked at us in surprise, then with a look that seemed to say 'traitor' towards me. I just smirked then said to Gandalf loud enough for Legolas to hear, "It was nice of you to invite us over here Gandalf." And I smiled at him.
But luckily for Legolas, the three empty seats were next to Stephanie at the opposite end of the table from him. We sat down and Stephanie briefly said hi to us then went back to her conversation with the hobbits. She was telling them something about pink penguins and their mind reading powers and, of course, the great Bob." (Remember Bob the spoon from the first chapter?) The poor little hobbits actually looked interested in her stories but I just ignored her.
For a few short seconds I looked at all the food in front of me then I began devouring almost everything within my reach, almost including the plate. Hey I was hungry ok, I can't help it. I wasn't the only one though, Danielle and Amber had both joined me at making the food quickly disappear.
We were getting some strange stares but that didn't stop me. Not like I cared what they think. After we were finished eating our fill we decided to get acquainted with the Fellowship. First we all introduced ourselves this way they could stop calling us my lady all of the time, it gets quite annoying after a while.
The conversations started out normal enough, except for Stephanie's of course. "Is there anything um, wrong with that girl?" Aragorn had whispered to us after a while. Amber and I were the only ones who heard at first. Stephanie didn't hear because she was still talking about something or other, I rather not find out, and Danielle had gone over to harass poor Legolas some more. Legolas was trying to find away to sneak out of the hall without causing a scene.
I looked back to Stephanie then. "Don't worry about Stephanie, she's just insane, right Stephanie?" Amber answered Aragorn's question. "Yep, and proud of it." Stephanie answered with a crazed grin. She got many strange looks after that but she either didn't notice or ignored them.
After some more conversations where the Fellowship started to learn that we were definitely not normal girls, Boromir decided to put in his thoughts about one topic we were discussing, unique ways of defeating your enemies (mostly ideas given by me and my friends). Boromir just decided he had to add his little opinion that "Girls can't fight. They are too weak to do any damage. Girls are supposed to stay at home and cook and clean."
Suddenly there was an eerie silence between me and my friends. I was really mad at this stupid idiot Boromir, and I knew that my friends were to. But it was Amber I was worried about. Out of all of us she had the nastiest temper, and one of the things that could get her into a rage was what Boromir had just stupidly said about girls being weak.
Before any of us could know what was happening Boromir had gotten hit in the forehead with a big metal plate that was thrown like a Frisbee. Boromir was on the floor with swirly eyes. "WE CAN'T HURT ANYTHING HUH, WELL HOW DID YOU LIKE THAT? I'LL SHOW YOU THE MEANING OF PAIN." Amber yelled so loud that it caught the attention of everyone in the room.
Amber then tried to tackle Boromir to start pounding him into a bloody pulp, and she could do it to. At the last minute I was able to grab hold of her to slow her down. Even though I would of loved to see Boromir get what he deserved, if she did continue we might get into a lot of trouble. We might not be able to join the Fellowship, or we might even be kicked out of Rivendale.
"Danielle, Stephanie, help me!" I cried out. They snapped out of it and ran up to help me. With Amber in one of her infamous rages, it was taking all of our strength to drag her back out of the room. Danielle was whispering to Amber that now was not the time for this, and that she could always get revenge later. While I was busy saying to everybody else in the room, "Sorry about this, but we have to leave now. We are kind of tired so we're going to go to sleep now."
Amber was still to hard to restrain, and she was still yelling insults at Boromir who was still on the floor which was causing even more of a scene. Right when she was about to break loose from our grip I saw that I had no other choice, and quickly prayed that this plan would work. I reached into my pocket and pulled out one of the throwing knives that I had "borrowed" earlier and used the hilt to hit Amber on the back of the head hard. She collapsed to the ground and we ended up dragging her out.
Right before I left through the door I turned back around and looked towards the table we were sitting at. "A word for the wise, never say anything like Boromir just said around Amber again. She has a big temper." I warned them, then walked out. Surprisingly Arwen got up and followed us helping us to find our rooms again and get Amber there.
30 minutes later
I was using a new room now since the one I had woken up in was a room for healing. I was sharing my room with Danielle and Amber and Stephanie shared a room across from ours. The new room was huge, with two queen size beds, a huge closet, some dressers, a huge mirror, and a table at one wall. There was also a door leading into a bathroom.
When we had gotten here we were too tired to really do anything much so we just used the bathroom to change into something to sleep in. I was in my bed now and I could already hear the deep breathing coming from Danielle's bed at the other side of the room meaning that she was already asleep.
'Well this was an interesting day, and tomorrow should be just as interesting. Let's see I woke up in Middle Earth after drinking something Stephanie gave us, I met some of the people who live here, we discovered the armory, we met the Fellowship, the Fellowship probably thinks we are crazy, and I had to knock out my own friends. Talk about a strange day. Looks like we are going to have to listen in on a little secret council for the One Ring tomorrow.' I smirked to myself and turned over to get in a more comfortable position. 'I wonder what it would really be like to be part of the Fellowship of the Ring, seems like fun.'
I could feel the darkness cloud my mind. I yawned. The last thing I remember thinking was 'I better not wake up in my room to find out this was all just a dream.' Then the darkness of sleep took me.
That night I had a strange dream. But it wasn't about me or anyone I knew, personally that is, I did really know these people though. It was like I was just there watching, like it was a movie or something. My dream was about the Yu Yu Hakusho characters. And in my dream they were in trouble…
_____________________________________________________________________
A.N. - Evil cliffy. Sorry I couldn't write more but it's late, I'm tired, and my mom is yelling at me to get off the computer before she takes it away from me. Nooooooooo! Look on the bright side, I finally got to the right part to let the Yu Yu Hakusho characters fall into Middle Earth, so yes the next chapter will probably be all about them. Oh yeah, and sorry if this chapter isn't that good, I'm suffering from the infamous writers block. Noooooooo! Die writers block.
