'Eden.....,'a voice whispered.


'Alright that's it!' thought Eden angrily.


'What?' the voice asked ,surprised.


'Am I schizophrenic or something?' asked Eden, angrily, 'I mean you, the voice, is all telling me stuff and I don't even know who you are! I mean, what the hell!?'


'I'm supposed to be your conscience,' the voice said and then politely added, 'idiot.'


'Oh,' Eden thought, 'Well why are you so mean?'


'Because the author of this story is a sadistic 17-year-old girl with a sick sense of humor,'the voice sighed. 'So, be nice and maybe she won't cause you any pain.'


'Oh man....,'thought Eden.


'Yea, I know,' the voice laughed,' You should read her other stories. Can you say psycho?'


'Hahahahaahaha...ha....wait, isn't she reading this?' Eden thought.


'And writing this too,' the voice added, 'Sick little slut, ain't she?'


'I'm not agreeing with you just because I'm deathly afraid,' Eden thought, with fear in her throat, 'I mean, I am the main character.'


'You should see what she did to the others,' the voice said with disgust.


"Why can't she just stick to....AHHHHH!"


*At this point, the author has used her God-like powers over her creations and stopped their bantering*


Yea.....ahem this is just something I wrote in the beginning because I have no life..... Here's the real story:

--------------

"Eden, koiva," a soft, angelic voice whispered. It was sensual and yet serious and warm. She felt fingers caress her cheek. Her eyes slowly opened to see a multitude of elves, staring down at her. Their faces filled with, not concern, but curiosity and intrigue.


"I'm sorry to interrupt this staring session, but would anyone like to tell me where I am?" she asked quietly. The elves, seeing that she was alright, went their own way...all except three and she recognized one in particular...


"You are at the home of Thranduil," said Legolas and then added, "your king." Sitting up, she groaned.


"Yes, thank you, I am quite aware of who my king is," she muttered and then remembered everything. "Who opened the gate and shot the......the....thing?"


"Me and Sernoy shot the wolf and Halatil and a few others opened the gate," one of the three that stayed, said.


"I am forever grateful to you all," she said, but avoided making eye contact with Legolas, excluding him in her thanks on purpose. 'He would have left me locked out if it was him at the gate,' she thought bitterly.


"Lady Eden," Legolas suddenly said, "I will accompany you to the main hall." He stood up and started to walk towards the door.


"No, that's alright, I'm really quite-, "started Eden.


"Now," Legolas said sternly and she quickly answered "right behind you, highness," and leapt up to follow him out the door.


It was still raining as they walked to the main hall in silence and when they got there, a fire was burning, lighting the huge room dimly. They moved to the fire and stood in front of it, hoping to dry off. He stood staring down at her and her anger quickly rose.


"I am no child, Prince Legolas," said Eden, "Please do not treat me as such."


"And what reason have you given me to not treat you like a child?" he said, coldly. His eyes flashing blue fire (sounds pretty, no?). "You have proven to me yet again that you cannot take care of yourself."


"I can take perfect care of myself!" pouted Eden.


But she was surprised when he grabbed her wrists and pushed them behind her back.


"Fight back," he said softly, his eyes daring her, and so she did, or attempted to at least. She tried to twist herself away from him, but no matter how hard she tried to get away, he only tightened his grip. She winced in pain.


"I thought you said you could take care of yourself," he said, sarcasm poisoning his voice.


"Stop it!" she cried.


"Stop it?" he growled. "Is that what you will say when you are in this position with someone who is incapable of mercy?" He released her and she pushed herself away from him, rubbing her wrists and muttering curses at him. "You will stay in the palace until your parents return. I will send a messenger to your parents telling them of your....experience."


She looked up at him, her eyes concerned. "My parents?" she gulped. He looked as if he was trying not to smile.


"I believe they have a right to know," he said. Terrible thoughts filled Eden's head. How would her parents feel if they knew she was out at night in the forest by herself, almost getting herself killed, and she is now at their political rival's house? She shuddered at the thought of her punishment.


"You know," she said quickly, "I do not think my parents need to know." She watched as his right eyebrow arched up. "I mean, they need not be bothered with it. I can return home tomorrow. The beast is dead. I will just stay at home from now on and not go outside."


"You have a habit of not following directions, I see," he smirked.


"No, I just.....don't want to get into trouble," she mumbled.


"I think we have all seen how well you can "take care of yourself"," Legolas said, his voice smooth...like butter....mmmm butter. She was quite hungry. "You will stay here at the palace. Don't make me repeat myself again."


"So where am I staying?" she asked innocently. He looked at her, an irritated expression on his face, but said nothing. Eden merely smiled and said "Well?"


"Here at the palace," he muttered.


"Where again?"


"At the palace."


"I can't hear you...."


"At the bloody palace!"


"Oh............huh?"


"Shut up Eden."
