DISCLAIMER: Go and see the other chapters – you know how much I hate saying it.
A/N: Yes, this is quite an emotional chapter and I'm sorry if you don't get it.
Jupiter's Light: YuS, yoOOU aaaAAAaaaaaaarEe MeNTaL ParsLEy ParMI PaRDner, pARdNEr... HowDI ParDEner, HowDi PaRDneR... PARLeY!! MWAHAHAHAHAAaaaaaaa!! ThE ?FrenCh! huMILiATed grapes!! YaH! WeeeeeeHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! (As u can probably guess, I'm drinking coffee) NO! I'm NoT TELliNG yOU WhoO KeiKæ iS Til Di eND OF dA STOOOOOOOooooorY!! So you'll just have to keep reading....
Dreamality: Danke sehr much for your wonderfully constructive criticism. I would just like to say that this story is complete crap and is meant to be complete crap. The policemans-wallet-nicking was simply a demonstration of what they do in their spare time and what a bunch of idiots they are and it puts into perspective how much they change later in the story. Galadriel was not in the middle of the woods, she was beside the lake and she felt like a walk. What do you mean by OOC? (Yes, I'm a malteaser; blonde on the inside, brunette on the outside.) Anywho, realistically, Jack Sparrow wouldn't have been able to escape 20 men of the navy, but he did, and that was exactly what Keikæ just done. Thank you but I can't improve it whatsoever, I've already written chapter 24 so I can tell you that they do stop acting like the bets but I do use random lines for the hell of it ;P. I'm veeeeeeery glad you like my fanficcy. Once you have read this, go back and read it again in a Yorkshire accent and it might not sound nearly as serious =). Pleeeeeeeeeease keep revieeeeeeeeeeewing, I very much appreciate it and it gives me an excuse to kick my sister off the computer ;) and use the internet that's about the only thing of value in my bedroom ;D. Keep reading!!
Jupiter's Light: Oh, yeah! ASSBB

Chapter 8 - Memories
Keikæ: I'm sorry Bex. I can't tell you – at least, not the first half; my surname is exactly the same as it has always been: Sparrow.
Laila: Well... what happened?
Keikæ: My dad. I hated him and he hated me. Long story, won't go into it. But he beat my mother and beat me. She ran first. Apparently that was my fault, so I followed her lead, though I never found her....
I trailed off. They knew the rest of the story. I could hear Bex breathing heavily. I felt anger and hate from so many years well up inside me, with one desperate thought in my head:
::Run. Run now.::
So I ran. How I got out of the cell, I've no idea. It all seemed like a dream. All I know, is that left the guard unconscious, and with a large bruise on his head. I also left Laila and Bex behind. I had to be alone I sprinted to the lake, and sat on the edge of the rock I had once used as a jetty, and cried.
I don't know how long I sat there, tears silently rolling down my cheeks. I just watched the lake and the birds and the world go by.
"Alright, I'm coming." I said to those behind me. I didn't turn and look, and I couldn't hear them, but I knew they were there.
"I'm coming."
And so, once again, infamous Captain Keikæ Sparrow found staring at the inside of the cell.
::Footsteps.::
I lay spread-eagled on the floor.
"Pirate?" A voice said. I'd heard that voice before. I sat upright.
Keikæ: Aye?
"You're not from middle earth?"
I settled back down on the floor, realising it was the elf who I had first met by the lake, the same elf who had caught me, the same elf who I had left unconscious 3 hours before.
Keikæ: Might be.
"Come. There's someone to see you."
He led me out. I had no idea where I was, but was escorted by several elves and decided that running would be suicide. I followed him into a small-ish room, with quite a few chairs, most of them occupied.
Bex and Laila were already there, as was Galadriel and an elderly chap dressed in white who I knew was Gandalf. I ignored my chair and sat down on the floor.
Keikæ: Does this mean explanation time?
"You could say that. My name is Ilréthiel. This is Gandalf the white and, as you know, Galadriel, Lady of the wood."
My eyes travelled from Bex, who, like me, had taken to sitting on the floor, to Galadriel, who had a faded red mark around her neck. I thoughtit would only be fair to apologise.
Keikæ: Umm... Sorry?
Galadriel didn't say much.
Keikæ: Err... Ok, Is there any particular reason you're all here?
Ilréthiel: We could be asking you the same question.
::You elves are very conversational, aren't ye?::
I looked at Laila and Bex, who nodded.
Keikæ: I take it you'd like to know the whole story?
Galadriel nodded.
Keikæ: We're going to be here a very long time.
Laila: We come from London, in England. 3 days ago, was new years eve. We're wanted for petty crime in quite a few places, so we're usually running from the police. We got kicked out of the local pub, thanks to Bex, so we went down to the lake with loads of stuff to celebrate. We nicked-
Keikæ: Hem, commandeered.
Laila obviously didn't appreciate my interruption. I shrugged, adding: "Couldn't resist mate."
Laila: Fine, commandeered a boat that was tied up at the jetty-
Keikæ: The jetty being where you first found me-
::This is getting into a habit.::
Laila: And rowed out. We didn't know where we were going – we either didn't care or were too drunk to notice. Or both. Being drunk, we made up extremely stupid bets. I had to act like Elizabeth Swann for a week (she's some completely random person.), and anything Bex said was to be in song lyrics.
Ilréthiel made a pretty good impression of Jack Sparrow.
Ilréthiel: So... what's with all the.... pirate stuff?
Keikæ: Yuh, We're getting to that – I had to act like Jack Sparrow for a month.
Gandalf: So your name isn't Keikæ Sparrow?"
It was the first thing I'd heard him say.
Keikæ: Well, yeah, kind of.
Gandalf: Why did you run from here?
I didn't have to answer. Galadriel did for me.
"Fear, memories.... Run..."
Keikæ: Er... Yeah. What she said.
Gandalf: So, how do you think you came to middle earth? What happened?
::God, this guy is full of questions.::
Laila: Well, Bex, having never had alcohol before, fell out of the boat. In doing this, she kind of made a hole in the boat, which started sinking. That's when I jumped out.
Keikæ: Then midnight struck. We saw fireworks; one particular firework took the shape of a dragon and swept over the lake, illuminating many little people on the other side.
Gandalf: Little you say?
Keikæ: Yes, like... half the size of a normal person.
Gandalf and Ilréthiel exchanged looks. I knew what they were thinking and I knew that those little people were hobbits at Bilbo's 111th birthday. You didn't have to be a genius to work that out.
Keikæ: The next few seconds were like... scenes, figures, faces... you were one of them, falling. There were 2 men; a tall, dark one and another who was shot thrice, a dwarf carrying an axe, an elf there was also and 4 of those little people, like I'd seen at the lake. There were also 9 figures dressed completely in black, riding horses. I then found myself back in the boat. Everything was exactly the same as it had been at midnight; the boat, the water level in the boat, everything, except it was dawn. That was when I stepped of the sinking boat, and you found me I gestured to Ilréthiel.
There was a few seconds silence. Laila seemed to be trying to talk to me, though didn't want the others to hear. She eventually resorted to French.
Lalia: A fait pourquoi ne vous les dites pas des livres, le film, le Ski à réaction. Pourquoi vous n'avez pas dit de leurs avenirs? [Why didn't you tell them about the books, the film, the jet ski?]
::I hope they can't speak French.::
Keikæ: Nur, weil ich ihnen die Wahrheit erzähle, bedeutet nicht, daß ich ihnen die ganze Wahrheit erzählen muß. [Just because I have to tell them the truth, does not mean I have to tell them the whole truth.]
::I hope they can't speak German either.::

yuh, I know that was a bit boring too. It'll get better! I promise. Thanx 2 freetranslation.com for translating for me. It's probably a weird version of what actually wanted to say... but still. Thanx for reading. This is the bit where you press that little button that says GO! And review it.
ASSBB!!
Kess ;P
