Rating: Pg - May turn into Pg-13 in the future
Pairings: Haldir/OC
Summary: Kelly Bruno has the perfect life..well almost. Her schoollife rocks, she has friends, perfect grades, heck, she even has perfect looks. But her home life is exactly the opposite. What would happen if she gets thrown into ME?

REVIEWERS CORNER:
R E Rakel: I'm glad you agreed with my decision about doing the Ryan thing. However I'm not going to do it every chapter. Maybe every other chapter I haven't quite decided yet. Oh as for using your ideas, lol. I know I don't have to, but if I see something I haven't thought of and I like it, I'll use it! You have come up with a lot of good ideas. As for Haldir, yeah I didn't mean to make him THAT stuck up, but that's ok, we will see how this goes. So is it Talen with an 'a'? Karate and martial arts I believe are asian. (I lived in China for 8 years, that's what they told me ) But I'm not sure about her knowing anything about fighting. I was looking at other fanfics, and I noticed that in nearly all of them they put that the girl knows how to fight good or enough to kick Haldirs butt. I am not sure what I wil be doing about this, and your right, my mind need to come out of the gutter in this area! Yes, I have decided who and how she will save that person. But I cant tell you! If I do then you will have no reason toe finish my story!! Hehe. Thanks for reviewing!!
Loveroflegolas: Yeah who could not love Haldir?
Untouchable1400: Yeah several people have told me that they are worried about Ryan!! Hehe.
Crecy: I'm glad that you like the pace! Here's your update mate!
Obi-Zahn Kenobi: shruggs Ok, so maybe it is a little Mary sueish..oh well. I'm not exactly worried about that. And I do not agree with what you say about authors cannot see their own flaws, because excuse me, but I see plenty. Also, I'm not making a documentary of LOTR or anything, or else I would have put down the fact about that language barrier you spoke about. However, this is a fanfic, and I have no desire to stretch it out too much that my readers get bored. And for some reason I cannot figure out how the heck to put the thingys on top of the names, I'll figure it out soon enough. (I tried what you said, but nothing came up) Listen, the things that you have listed may apply to some other authors but they do not apply to me. I do not have any insecurity of how my peers view me, they don't like how I act or whatever then I say stuff them, I have no insecurities about my looks and I don't have a problem with other people who like Lotr but haven't read the books. I will once again repeat my self, this is a fanfiction. It does not reflect my life at all. But anyways, thanks for reviewing my story anyways, even if it was negative. And I will continue this story, because I like to finish was I have started!
Soccer-bitch: I tried to update sooner, sorry! Better late than never!
Draegon-fire: Thank you for reviewing! I'm glad you like challenges! And yeah, Haldir is being a prick again......
Anarya of Lorien: Thank you! I'm glad you think its improving.
Lady Hades: (Is this R E Rakel? I mean you put Rachael at the bottom....) I'm sorry for taking forever, work has been busy, some idiot had ordered too many candles!! Hehe. Heres you're update!
THANK YOU ALL FOR REVIEWING!! I REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE IT!

Chapter Five
The next day at exactly 6am, or at least what she guessed was 6 am, as she didn't have a watch, Kelly woke up with a groan. Was she ever going to be able to sleep in? With another groan she stood up lowly and walked over to the closet she had found on her second day. She had searched the talen from top to bottom..but she couldn't find anything but dresses. And she refused to wear dresses. She liked pants. Kelly opened the doors and groaned again when she saw what she always saw. dresses.
It had become a thing for her to do every morning, wake up and walk to the closet, hoping that there was something besides dresses. Of course there wasn't. Kelly sighed as she made her way back to the bed and sat on the edge trying to figure out what she was going to do that day. She had done everything she could think of on the third day.
Kelly jumped as she heard someone knock on the door and frowned. Who on earth could be up at this hour, let alone knocking on her door? Kelly waited a moment to see if the person would go away, but instead she heard the knocking again. Kelly stood up and walked over to the door and swung it open to see an elf that closely resembled Haldir smiling.
"Lady Kelly?" the elf said a bit hesitantly.
Kelly nodded slightly.
"My name is Rumil." Kelly nodded again. Suddenly she remembered her manners.
"Oh do you want to come in?" She asked. Rumil nodded as he walked pass her into hr room. "What can I do for you?" She asked, still a little bewildered as to why this stranger was knocking on her door.
Rumil rubbed the back of his neck before answering. "The Lady Galadriel has given my brothers and I instruction to teach you how to use swords, bow and arrows, and how to ride a horse."
Kelly frowned. First he actually smiled at her, which she was surprised, considering the only other elf she had seen smile at her was Galadriel. Everyone else scowled at her, Haldir and all the elleths included. And now he was telling her he was going top teach her how to fight. Well him and his brothers. "But...why?"
"What?"
"Why do I need to learn how to fight....am I being shipped off to war or something?" Kelly asked, biting her lip.
"Oh! No!' Rumil replied chuckling. "The Lady told my brother it was for your protection." He paused for a moment, but continued when he saw he wasn't getting through to Kelly. "The Lady said that you had planned to stay with us for awhile. She told us it would be wise for you to learn how to protect yourself in self defense."
Kelly raised an eyebrow. She was going to stay here for a while? Now why wasn't she told that? Well, she was in a way...but she didn't think...Kelly shook her head as she tried to say something to Rumil, but nothing came out of her mouth.
Rumil watched in amusement as the 'horrible filthy human' as Haldir had called her the night before opened and closed her mouth, closely resembling a fish. "Milady, are you alright?"
"Kelly snapped her mouth shut. "uh..yeah." She cleared her throat. "Of course. ..When do my 'classes' start then?"
"Right now."
"RIGHT NOW!?"
Rumil winced slightly as her high-pitched shriek reached his sensitive ears.. "Yes...is there something wrong with today...?"
Kelly shook her head. "Well no...but...well..oh never mind. She walked to the door, opened it then bowed mockingly. "After you sir."
Rumil slipped past her with yet another amused smile. "I don't know what Haldir was complaining about. This girl seems like fun...."
Kelly followed Rumil for a while, quietly thinking. She couldn't figure out why Rumil and his brothers were even doing this. Well duh. The answer was simple, the Lady told them too, and no one said no to Galadriel. "Sir?" She called out.
Rumil slowed down slightly and glanced at her. "yes?"
"You mentioned you had brothers?" Rumil nodded. "What are their names?"
"Well the eldest is Haldir, and the second oldest is Orophin." Rumil replied off-handily.
At the mention of Haldirs name, Kelly lost her footing and fell smack on her rear end. "Hadlir!? Haldir is going to be teach...teaching me?" Kelly murmured, her eyes wide. "Oh great. I might as well go and drown myself in the lake now."
Rumil bit back a laugh as he reached down to help her up. She apparently didn't enjoy Haldirs company anymore than he enjoyed hers. As the continued to walk towards a clearing, Kelly hid her face as she blushed in embarrassment. She was such a clutz.
When they finally reached the clearing Rumil walked towards a stand that held several different types of swords. He took two out and handed the on in his right hand to Kelly.
Now Kelly had never held a sword, except for once when she had handed a ancient sword to a guy in the museum, but even she, an inexperienced swordsman (or woman for this case) new that the sword she was holding was extremely light. She held it up and looked at it, just to make sure it was actually made of metal.
Rumil twirled his blade around as he watched Kelly movie her blade back and forth. "Are you trained in any fields?"
Kelly stopped swinging her sword around and looked at Rumil. "What?"
"Have you been trained in any battle forms or arts?" Rumil asked again.
"Oh. Uh..no I've never been trained in anything." Kelly replied.
Rumil nodded. A fresh student. well this should be very interesting. All right. Let begin our lesson then shall we?" Rumil began to walk slowly around Kelly. Kelly followed him with her eyes waiting for him to say something.
Before Kelly could say "Holy Crap" there was a loud clang of two swords making contact. Kelly swallowed as she saw Rumil's sword inches away from her face. She frowned. It was being blocked by her sword! She looked at Rumil who had an eyebrow raised with wide eyes.
"Either you were lying to me about your training or you have very good reflexes." Rumil swung again, but like before Kelly was able to block it. Rumil grinned like a Cheshire cat.
She was going to be simple to teach.
Two long hours later after many blocks, many more misses Rumil announced that they were done for the day. Kelly groaned as she dropped straight to the ground. Rumil looked at her.
"Lady Kelly? Are you alright?"
"Kelly" Came the soft reply.
"I'm sorry?"
Kelly moved her head so she could see Rumil. "My name is Kelly. Not Lady Kelly, not milady, just Kelly." Kelly rubbed her sore hands. "And to answer your question, yes, I'm fine. Thank you."
"Good because I'd hate it if my student was unfit for not even one riding lesson." Came a new voice.
Kelly moved her head to the side and saw an elf leaning against a tree with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face. He walked over stand stood next to Rumil. She noticed they looked a lot alike and guessed that he was Rumils brother. "Are you Orofool" She asked.
Ruil burst out laughing as Orophin scowled back at him. "No, my name is OropHIN."
Kelly blushed slightly as she tried to hide her face. "Sorry."
Orophin turned to Rumil and whacked him behind the head. /Shut up you idiot. How did it go?/
Rumils laughter slowly turned into chuckling. /She was good. Quick reflexes. She'll be very good by the end of the year./
Orophin frowned. /You think she'll stay that long?/
Ruil shrugged. /The Lady didn't say. But the fact that the Lady has asked us to teach the girl...I'm just assuming.../
The brothers turned to looked at Kelly when she cleared her throat extra loud. "Excuse me." Kelly said after she had given up trying to decipher what they were saying. "Its not polite to talk about in your native tongue when there are those present who don't have a bloody clue as to what the hell you are saying."
Orophin chuckled at her language. Hang what Haldir thought about her. This girl was going to be fun to be around. "Our apologies milady." He turned to Rumil. "We best be going."
/I'm coming too/ Rumil said switching back to elvish.
/Why?/
Rumil grinned. /Because I think it will be very humorous./
Kelly folded her arms as she cleared her throat again. Rumil and Orophin just shook their heads. Orophin took the lead and began to walk towards the stables.
A/N: I apologize for the delay! Work has been over time after over time and no time for me. Horrible. Lol. Anyways, I know this is a bit short, but I have the next chapter nearly done and will be up very soon. So there's something to look forward to. Thank you all for reading my story, I appreciate it. Please Reivew!!
