When Pippa and her friends get thrown into ME, she ends up spending a couple of months there and falling in love with Legolas. NOT AS CLICHED AS IT SOUNDS!
"I'm here!" came Pippa's muffled voice. It turned out the the twins had landed on her.
"Sorry, Pip!" Alexis said helping her friend up.
"Is everyone ok?" Will asked as he brushed the dirt off of him. As his eyes adjusted to the dark he began to see that they were in some sort of cave.
"I'm not." Pippa said. "I think I sprained my ankle."
"Let's see." Will said. He lifted up her pant leg to see her ankle red and slightly swollen.
"Ouch. That will make climbing out of here difficult." Alexis said, leaning in to look at her friend's ankle.
"Who said we were going to be able to climb out of here?!" Pippa said, looking at her friend in amazement.
"Why wouldn't we be able to?" Alexis asked.
"Did you not notice how far you fell?! We'll NEVER be able to climb out. Can you even SEE the hole in the top?!" Pippa almost screamed.
"Woah, spaz! There's nothing wrong with thinking about getting out of here is there?" Alexis said as she stood up.
"Guys! Stop fighting!" Will said as he helped Pippa to stand. "Can you walk?" he asked.
"I don't know. Let's find out!" Pippa said. She put a little bit of weight on her foot and immediately collapsed. Pippa looked up at her friends and grimaced.
"I'll take that as a no, then." Will said as he helped her to stand again and let her use his shoulder as a support. Alexis came in and let her use her shoulder as well.
"Thanks guys. Now lets try and find a way out of here. Somebody had to've made it so they had to've been able to get down here. Let's find out how." Pippa said as she almost dragged her friends along down one side of the chamber they were in.
It turned out that they were in some sort of mine type place. There were beams holding up the walls and roof and a well worn path in the dirt. They followed the footsteps in the dirt and found a doorway into a forest. They left the mine and looked at their surroundings. There were strange trees with silver trunks and large leaves, as well as very peculiar flowers of all colours and shapes.
"Guys, I dont think we're in BC anymore." Alexis said as she looked around with a worried look on her face.
"Yes Dorothy!" Will mocked with a smirk.
"Lions and Tigers and Bears oh my!" Pippa added with a laugh.
"Oh come on! It wasn't that funny!" Alexis said with a frown.
"Yes it was!" Will and Pippa said at the same time.
"Fine. Have it your way." Alexis said as she let go of Pippa.
"Whatever." Pippa said as she shifted her weight to lean more off of Will. She looked at Alexis who rolled her eyes. They kept walking and the forest didn't get any less dense. After about an hour and a half Alexis made them stop.
"I'm not going ANY further until I've had a rest." She said as she sat down on a rock.
"Good. I'm not arguing." Pippa said as she flopped down onto the grass and leaned back against a tree and looked up into it's branches. To her surprise she saw eye's staring back at her. She screamed and scramble up towards Will and clung to his arm.
"Woah. Miss Tomboy got scared? By what? A little spider?" Will mocked.
"Spider?! Where?" Alexis cried as she jumped up from her rock and scrambled over to her brother as well.
"It wasn't a spider!" Pippa said. "Somebody was staring at me!" she said.
"Are you in that much pain, Pip? You aren't delirious are you?" Will asked, spinning Pippa around to look her in the eye.
"I'm not delirious!" Pippa cried as she squirmed out of Will's arms. "Even look in that tree!"
"Fine." Will said. He walked over to the tree and looked in it.
"There's nothing there, Pip." Will said as he turned around to face her with a worried look on his face. All of a sudden Somebody jumped out of the tree and tackled Will. Luckily for Will, he was on the rugby team and knew how to tackle.
"Get off me, you scum!" Will said as he started beating up the creature that was trying to beat him up. Soon the creature stopped moving but Will kept beating it up.
"Will...? Will. Will!" Pippa cried. "Stop beating it up! I think it's unconcious!" She said as she hopped over to Will and pulled him off the still creature. It was a man, in his early twenties it looked, with long blonde hair.
"Pippa...He has pointy ears..." Alexis said warily from across the path. Pippa looked down at the man and his ears. They were pointy. Alexis' eyes widened with understanding.
"HE'S AN ELF!" Alexis cried.
"He's not an elf! Elves are short and are like children...and they have pointy shoes too." Pippa said, trying to sound smart.
"Not Santa's elves!!! Like, a REAL elf!" Alexis said.
"How can he be a "real" elf if there's no such thing as elves???" Will asked, amused by this argument.
"Does this place look like it's "real" to you!? I don't think that we're on Earth anymore. I really don't you guys." Pippa said seriously. Nobody replied so they stood there staring at this elf. After a couple of minutes Pippa broke the silence.
"I wonder how bad you hurt him...?" Pippa said. She hopped over to him and prodded his side gently with her injured foot, her healthy one supporting her weight. All of a sudden he opened his eyes and grabbed her ankle, pressing very hard on the pressure points.
"Pippa!" Will and Alexis cried at the same time, seeing the pain on their friends face. They ran over to her and tried to pull her away from the elf's grip, but it was too strong.
"Guys stop!!! You're going to break my ankle!" Pippa cried as the tears of pain started to streak down her face. She started to twist her ankle in painful ways trying to wrench it from the elf's grasp. It hurt too much so she stopped twisting, and through the increasing pain she could feel that soon her ankle would break. The tears become more as they fell down her cheeks, and soon she was outright sobbing. CRACK! Her ankle had broken.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Pippa cried as the elf let go of her ankle. It was bent in a strange direction and Pippa's face was contorted with distress, and she was screaming with pain.
"Pippa! Are you okay?!" Alexis cried as she ran to her friend's aid.
"Do I look okay to you!" Pippa managed to get out through her screaming. The twins looked over at the elf, who was getting up off the ground and brushing himself off. He was just about to leave when the stopped him.
"Wait! Where do you think you're going!?" Will asked.
"Back to my post. Where I should've been 15 minutes ago." He said.
"You could at least tell us where we are!" Alexis said, grabbing the elf's arm to stop him from leaving.
"Mirkwood." The elf replied, looking at the trio like they were crazy. "Where else would you be?" he asked.
"Earth. We come from Earth." Alexis said.
"Earth? I've never heard of Earth. Only Middle Earth." The elf replied.
"Middle Earth? OH! Like from Lord of the Rings!" Pippa said quietly. The tears were streaming silently down her face now. She tried to shift to a comfier position, but pain seared through her ankle again, and she whimpered, going back to the position she was in before.
"Lord of the Rings? I don't about any 'Lord of the Rings', but if that is how you know Middle Earth, whatever." (A/N I know that doesn't sound very...elfish...but in my world it is! .)
"Can you show us a way out of this forest? And maybe help her or even fix her ankle, seeing you're the one who broke it." Will asked, looking at Pippa.
"I can take you to our palace, but I can assure you that you won't find a friendly welcome. Elves do not like intruding humans in our kingdom. But we will help you. By the way, my name is Legolas." the elf replied.
"Will."
"Alexis. And that's Pippa." Alexis said, for Pippa looked like she was in a lot of pain again.
Legolas picked up Pippa and headed off down the trail with the twins following him.
