Chapter 8
"That I am not sure of." Legolas said picking up a rock and skipping it across the water. "I have never seen such a thing before. A human becoming an elf. I hope Lord Elrond will be able to find out a reason."
"So why are we going to Rivendell?" I said picking up a rock and trying to skip it across the pond, but it just sank. Damn, even if I'm an elf, I still don't have skills..
"Lord Elrond has sent for me. He says it's a very urgent matter. I do not know what it is, but I have felt a darkness that I cannot explain for quite a time. I think Sauron has something to do with the issue..." Legolas said as his face became stern.
"Sauron? Sounds like a car salesman... Here at Sauron Saturn you can get a new car for only $10,000!" I said then remembering Legolas probably didn't know what a car was. I guess I was right cause he gave me another one of his 'what the hell you talking about' looks. I'm pretty used to them. "Don't ask.. So who's this Sauron dude.. I think you said something earlier about him. Something about a ring.. And thinking Santa was his ally.. But we don't wanna bring that back up..."
"Sauron was a dark lord a very long time ago." Legolas said looking at the ground. This subject must really be a downer for him... "He created a ring. And into it he wheeled all of his evil powers and hopes to destroy all that is good. His power to control all life."
"Wait a minute.. How can a ring control everything? That sounds like something out of a fantasy book." I said looking at him strangely. Hm maybe he'd watched to much Sci-Fi channel and warped his mind. Ah oh well...
"You may not think such an object can rule, but it can. If it has such power made into it, anything can hold such a position. Sauron was defeated, but men took the ring and the evil of Sauron lived on in this one ring."
"So this meeting thing is about a ring?" I said still confused.
"I said it could be Miss Emily." Legolas said standing up.
"Legolas, why are you so sad all the time?" I asked looking up at him.
"What do you mean Miss Emily?"
"You always look so... depressive. Like you're gonna slit your wrists or something. You should try smiling some time, it make you feel so much better. Look." I said giving him a big cheesy smile. This made him again roll his eyes. AH! He'd be so much more hot if he'd just smile once in awhile. But eh.. I didn't say that.. Er.. Uhm... anywho..
"Miss Emily, I am not sad." He said walking back over towards me. "Look." He said giving me a big cheesy grin back.
"Oh my gosh! YOU DID IT! You smiled!" I said jumping up and giving him a hug. Eep.. Oops.. Legolas just kinda stood there as I figured out what a dumb ass I was and let go off him. "I think I'm gonna take a walk..." I said starting to walk away as he stopped me.
"You mustn't go by yourself miss. I shall go with you." Legolas said letting my arm go.
"That I am not sure of." Legolas said picking up a rock and skipping it across the water. "I have never seen such a thing before. A human becoming an elf. I hope Lord Elrond will be able to find out a reason."

"You mustn't go by yourself miss. I shall go with you." Legolas said letting my arm go.
