Reviewers Corner:

Soccer-Bitch: Thanks!

R E Rakel: WOW. That is one long review! Which is great of course!! LOL! Well you will see if she dies or not, I promise it will be in the story. I can't just end the story and not tell you! Oooohhh, so THAT'S a marysue. I have always wondered what a marysue was. Well I'm glad far it isn't one, and hopefully it will stay like that. I agree, Haldir is pretty stiff. There will be humor, at some point anyways. Not sure where just yet. Thank you so much for all of you ideas!! I will use some, not all, but a couple. Such as the self-absorbed elleths. I actually hadn't thought about that part, and it's a very cool idea. But thanks again for all you ideas!!

Untouchable1400: Thanks!!

THANKS FOR REVIEWING!!!


Chapter Four

For days nothing happened. Kelly just stayed in her room, mostly sleeping or eating. She had found a bathtub in her bathroom, and spent a lot of her time there. But the room was starting to drive her crazy. She needed to get out. She however, wasn't about to disobey the Lady's order. So instead she just sat on the floor and looked at the ceiling.

On the third day there was a knock on the door. Kelly jumped up and ran to the door. On the other side was Haldir, not looking too happy. Kelly raised an eyebrow "Hello."

Haldir nodded. "Good Morning Milady. The Lady of the Woods had asked me to come and bring you to the dining hall. Afterwards, I am to show you around."

Kelly's face lit up. She was finally going to get out of that room! She as so happy! However she tried to contain herself. "That sounds great. But are you sure you wouldn't mind showing me around. After all, I'm sure you have 'more important duties." She said with great sarcasm. "Like maybe helping a helpless poor Elleth choose a dress before she dies of starvation? It hadn't taken Kelly long to see that all of the female elves, aka Elleths were very slef absorbed. She watched them for hours from one of her windows stand in front of a mirror trying to choose a dress.

Haldir raised an eyebrow, ignoring her last sentence. "Are you ready?"

When Kelly nodded Haldir turned around and climbed to the ground, there he waited for the girl to follow him. She was painfully slow, and it was driving him crazy. He knew she was sonly a human, but still, even most humans weren't THIS slow! And the fact that he, Haldir, March Warden of Lorien was reduced to stoop so low as to escort this..human drove him nuts.

When she finally made it down he turned and began to walk quickly to the dining hall. After a few hills however he heard her begin to pant. He shook his head. The girl was really out of shape. But he slowed his pace down slightly none-the-less. He wasn't heartless as most would think. He just didn't like humans.

Ten minutes later they finally reached the dining hall. Haldir stopped at the entrance and waited for Kelly to catch up with him. When she did he held out his arm for her to take. Kelly looked at him strangely for a moment. Haldir sighed. "It is custom when a man enters a room with a lady and there are others present that he is to offer his hand to the lady." Even if the man doesn't agree with it, He thought bitterly.

Kelly's expression didn't change, but she took his arm anyways. What the heck, she thought. He was offering his arm without a fuss, was she really going to complain?! Granted he was doing it because of tradition or whatever, but that didn't stop her from feeling a bit weak knees. What could she say; she was a sad sad girl.

As they walked into the dining hall Kelly's breath was taken away. It had to be one of the most simplest rooms she had ever seen, yet the most beautiful. Haldir led her to a chair and pulled the chair out for her. Once she was seated he took his seat next to her. Glancing around Kelly realized that she was the only human there, and began to feel very uncomfortable. Haldir saw this, but instead of trying to calm her down, he just ignored her.

Dinner passed quickly, and before Kelly knew it, she was walking out with the elf. They weren't arm in arm again, which she was slightly disappointed about. But he wasn't ignoring he this time. He took her around showing her all of Lorien explaining why the names were as they were. After about an hour and a half, Haldir stopped talking and just began to walk slowly, watching the girl in front of him. He realized that she wasn't really listening to him, which utterly annoyed him, but she was just staring at the trees with a sad expression on her face. Haldir decided it was time to take her back to her talen.

He stopped outside her talen. "This is where I leave. Once again you are not to leave this talen without permission, is that clear?"

Kelly nodded silently.

Haldir bid her good-bye and began to walk around the forest, wondering about the strange girl.

Kelly sighed slightly as she sat on her bed, or cot as they called it. She couldn't really say she enjoyed the tour, she wasn't paying hardly any attention to the rude elf. Her mind kept wandering to what Galadriel had told her. She was going to be able to change one thing. But what could she choose? There was so much. There was Boromirs death, haldirs death, Theodens death, Gandalfs 'supposed' death... Kelly sighed again. Before, she would have had no problem choosing. She would have chosen Haldirs death, but with the way he acted towards humans, she quickly threw that away, deciding there was something else that she could change that would make a bigger difference. Problem was she didn't know what.

And another thing was Ryan, she couldn't stop thinking about him...was he all right? She hadn't heard anything.. She didn't know if he was lost in Middle Earth, or back on Earth wondering where the heck she is.

Kelly rubbed her eyes. She was tired, but she didn't want to sleep. She had enough 'sleep' to last her a lifetime. Her eyelids though, did not agree with her, and she fell asleep anyways.


A week later Haldir grumbled as he began to make dinner for him and his brothers, Rumil and Orophin. He couldn't believe that the Lady had asked...no it was more like ordered him to babysit the filthy human. Ok she wasn't filthy, but still. It was all the same to him. He didn't want to baby-sit the girl. And so far he was able to avoid it, but that morning Galadriel had asked him to come and and told him that she expected him to teach her how to use a bow and arrow, for Rumil to teach her how to sword fight, and for Orophin to teach her how to horse back ride.

He hadn't told his brothers yet, and he knew what their reactions would be. Rumil wouldn't care, and even though Orophin would, he wouldn't show it.

As if one cue Rumil and Orophin burst into the talen laughing. "Speak of the devil." Haldir mumbled. Orophin, the second oldest stopped laughing and looked at Haldir.

"What was that?" he asked.

Haldir shook his head. "Nothing, come eat." Orophin and Rumil glanced at each other. They both new their brother well and could see that something was bothering him.

"Whats wrong Haldir?" Rumil asked as say sat down and began serving themselves. "Did you hear word of an attack?"

"Not an attack. Just misfortune." Haldir replied frowning.

"Misfortune?"

Haldir sighed. "You remember the human girl I told you I found a week ago?"

Both brothers nodded. How could they forget? Haldir wouldn't stop ranting about how he didn't believe a word of her story and though her a spy.

"Well, the Lady asked me to come to her today." He said. "She expects me to teach the girl how to use a bow and arrow."

Orophin and Rumil burst into laughter. "THAT is what you are so upset about!? Shesh Haldir, you had us worried that orcs were planning on attacking!"

Haldir shot both brothers a glare. "You shouldn't be so quick to laugh."

"Why?" Rumil asked as he tried to catch his breath.

"Because you Rumil, will be teaching her how to use a sword, and you Orophin will teach her how to ride a horse." He said with a smirk.

Immediately Rumil and Orophin stopped laughing. "You have got to be joking." Rumil said.

"Did the lady really say this Haldir, or are you trying to trick us?" Orophin asked with suspicion.

"Do you think I would pull such a nasty trick on you?" Haldir asked.

Rumil and Orophin glanced at each other then back at Haldir. "Yes." They both said.

Haldir glared at them. "Well I wouldn't. It is true the lady said this. And I'm not very happy about it either."

Orophin snorted. "That we could tell."

Rumil sighed as he began to eat his food. Nothing could take away his appetite. "Well, maybe the girl wont be too bad."

Haldir laughed. "Yeah right. The girl is a human. All humans are horrible. They have no respect for us, and they think that just because we are different that they can control us."

Rumil raised an eyebrow. "Now that isn't true, not all humans are like that."

"Name one." Haldir challenged.

"Aragorn."

"Except for him!"

"Faramir."

"Except for him!"

"Theoden"

"Not him!"

"Eowyn"

"Bah. Forget it." Haldir said in defeat.

"You see Haldir, most humans do respect us. Its just your ego that get in the way!" Rumil said. Haldir growled slightly and smacked Rumil behind the head.

Orophin chuckled. "Who knows Haldir, this girl might not be as bad as you claim."

"She is. She's probably worse." Haldir grumbled.

Rumil snorted. "Now how would you know? You haven't even spent a day with the girl yet. You are too quick to judge. Lets just wait and see."

"Well we don't have long to wait." Haldir said.

Orophin cocked his head. "Why is that.?"

"We start tomorrow."

At this both brothers began chocking on their foods, silently cursing.

ON EARTH

Jaina sighed as she peered into the hospital room. Ryan was sitting by his sister's side, as he had been doing for the past week and a half. She was beginning to worry about him. She opened the door slowly and walked in.

"Hey there." She said as she grabbed a chair and sat down next to him.

"Hey." Ryan said without his eyes leaving Kelly's face.

"Ryan, please, wont you go home?" She sighed when he shook his head. "But what about your mother? Wouldn't she be worried to death right now? She hasn't seen either you or Kelly for nearly two weeks!"

Ryan turned and glared at Jaina, but he bit back his nasty comment. "She wont care." He said then turned back to Kelly.

Jaina rubbed her kneck as she walked out. When the door closed she leaned against the wall and closed her eyes. She couldn't believe him when he told her that their mother would care. But she didn't know their address, and no one would answer he phone when she tried to call. Suddenly she had an idea and ran to the cafeteria.

Jack was eating a sandwich when he saw Jaina run towards him. It turned out that Jack was a nurse at the hospital, so he checked up on Kelly every now and again. "What's wrong Jaina?" He asked as he offered her a chair.

Jaina sat down. "Its Ryan... I'm really worried about him. He hasn't moved since Kelly's been here, and he wont give me his address to call his mother."

Jack frowned. "Now why would he do that?"

"I don't know." Jaina shrugged. "Every time I try and talk to him he just tells me that his mother wont care. But how could that be true?

Jack sighed. "I don't know. Maybe he's just not thinking straight." He paused for a moment. To be honest with himself, he was worried about Ryan as well. Day after day Jack would go by the hospital, and everyday it looked as if Ryan hadn't moved. Staying with his sister Jack had no problem with. But he wouldn't eat anything, and he had to be forced to drink. "I'll talk to him, maybe he will tell me what is the problem."

Jaina smiled slightly and nodded. "Thanks." She turned and walked off to call her mother.

Jack walked to Kelly's room and like Jaina he stopped and peered through the glass in the middle of the door. Ryan was in the same position that Jaina had left him. Jack opened the door and waked in silently. Jacks eyes flicked over to Kelly's still form. As a nurse, he was allowed to read the notes the doctor writes for their patient. He knew that unless there was a miracle, there was little chance Kelly would come out of her coma.

"Are you just going to stand there and stare at her? Ryan asked.

"I could as the same question to you."

Ryan turned to look at him. The once happy boy was now pale, looked like he hadn't slept in a week and sad. "I am her brother, I am allowed to look at her for hours. You are not."

Jack raised an eyebrow as he sat down across from Ryan and crossed his arms. "I didn't come in here to stare at your sister Ryan, I came in here to talk to you.

"About what?"

"Ryan, why haven't you called your mother?" Jack asked, getting right to the point. "You need to call her, she is probably worried sick about you guys.

Ryan shook his head sadly. "I cant"

"Why not?"

Ryan sighed. Why couldn't they just leave him alone? What business was it to them if He called or not. Then an image of his sister forehead bleeding that one night when his mother hit her flashed into his mind. Maybe they could help them...with a glance at Kelly Ryan decided to tell Jack everything, for both of their sakes.

So for the next half an hour he spilt everything about their mother. He told about her drug and alcohol addiction, her abusive ways and everything else. Ryan explained how Kelly took the mother role early on in life, and how she had tried her hardest to raise him right, and how she protected him.

By the end Ryan had begun to cry, saying over and over that he loved Kelly and missed her very much. Jack walked over and put the small boy on his lap, rocking back and forth trying to comfort the crying boy. After a while Ryan's sobs turned to sniffs, then to steady breathing, which indicated that he had fallen asleep. Finally. Jack didn't know when the last time Ryan had gotten any sleep, and was grateful he could sleep now. Jack grabbed a spare blanket from a shelf and set Ryan in a chair, covering him with the blanket.

After making sure Ryan was comfortable he turned to Kelly. Reaching out he gently brushed her hair out of her face. She really was beautiful, even when she was in a coma.

"Kelly.." He knew she couldn't hear him, but he didn't care. "Please come back to us. We need you..Ryan needs you. Come back for him. He isn't going to last much longer with like this. He's drained, and he won't leave your side. "Jack paused as he ran a hand through his thick black hair. "Kelly, unless you come back to us..Ryan could die. If you cared about your brother, wake up."

Without another word Jack left the room, leaving the brother and sister to sleep in peace.


A/N: Well here's another chapter for you guys! Once again thank you all SO much for the reviews! You have no idea what a surprise it was for me to see all the positive reviews!! Hehe. I know that Haldir was a real prick in this chapter, and that some of you want to see some humor etc, but I have to ask you to be patient please. I can't just have Haldir warm up to Kelly in two chapters. It will happen eventually, please be patient! Also, just to let you know, I will do my best to update every two days. That's probably the best I can do. If I update everyday, then the chapters will...not be good!!

Anyways, until next time!!
