Chapter 6 Mirror, mirror in the bird bath
I followed Haldir through the forest and into a garden, I stared in awe at the lush colors. As I turned back to find a close-up of Haldir's broad chest, 'This was definitely becoming a habit.'
I looked up into his eyes and before I said a word, he turned and continued on his way. My eyes widen with surprise, 'What? No evil eye, no glare?' I was almost disappointed. But in all honesty I was not, in fact I was glad, I wanted to be his friend, but he knew what buttons to push to irritate me to no end.
A sense of foreboding hit me as we got closer to our destination, I bit down on my panic, as I fought the feeling of leaving this peaceful place, I was petrified that the Lady of Light will tell us to leave and never return.
Yes to all you readers out there I do panic for no apparent reason, I have three younger sisters that are my responsibility and my duty to protect them, in a world that is strange to us. Without my parents I am lost, and it is my greatest fear, that my sisters will be lost and I will be helpless to protect them.
I bit my bottom lip as I watched Haldir's broad back, for looking at him so intensely, strangely enough it gave me comfort.
Down some stone stairs, onto a large patch of grass, with a fountain in one corner, and right in the center was...a bird bath? That was the mirror? I could have laughed, if I wasn't so petrified.
The area around the mirror was surrounded by a natural wall of rock, draped with vines of ivy and white flowers, in the far corner was a small fountain built right into the wall. I slowly approached the center were the mirror was, I approached it cautiously. I was when I stood at the lip of the mirror, when I looked up, there, standing near the fountain, with a silver pitcher in her hands was a solemn Galadriel, I gulped as she turned an dipped the pitcher into the water that had flowed into a shallow pool at its center.
"Do not be afraid Child, for this mirror, sees the past, the present, and the future of what might be." My fear screamed at me to turn and run, but my curiousity of why my parents died, kept me in my spot.
The mirror appeared black, then a simmering of light rippled through the surface. I stared in fasination as the colors danced across the surface. Then I saw it my home, my world as it was before my parents died. I saw us hugging my Dad before he went back to his base, I saw myself going to my Karate class, Beth and Amee at their soccer game, and Niki going to gymnastics.
I also saw my mom 'trying' to teach me to cook, and my sisters laughing at me for my efforts, but later me laughing at them for being my guinea pigs. I smiled at the images, then the memories took a different turn, I saw a dark tower, with a flaming red eye at its top. This 'red' eye was talking to the leaders of our world, as men and women, under orders from their own Goverments setting free deadly airborn viruses
As the mirror showed me the horrors of what our own people did under the thrall of this beast with its flaming red eye. Tears slipped down my face. As I saw adults dying in waves, I saw kids running out onto the streets, screaming in fear and sorrow, I saw my parents die all over again, . Then I saw the 'being' holding a blue vial in its hands, bowing before an image, it was the flaming eye, its voice crackled like an old lady, "My master, this world is ready."
"Ready? Ready for what?" I thought panicing
Remember child, this is still the past, it has already happened.
I stood there shaking and the coversation commenced, this time it was the eye that spoke in both the beings thoughts and in mine, Let the children of this world be eternal in youth, set forth the potion within the vial.
"Yes Master."
"Eternal Youth??" My mouth dropped open, "By god, that means that I'm, that my sisters are...." My voice broke in the middle, causing, the Lady of Light to finish for me, Yes child that means your sisters and yourself is immortals like the elves are, As our eyes met, Finish child.
I gripped the edge of the mirror, as I looked into its depts again. What I saw horrified me, I saw tiny babies dying because the vial held poison, the younger kids could not handle the potion, and they died. Kids no older than 7 died. My hands covered my mouth as I watched and couldn't do nothing!!!
Then I saw it, the future if this 'red' eye is not destroyed. Armies of dark creatures, invading my world taking the rest of the children as slaves, we had no defences, no adults, we were helpless, thats what 'it' wanted a helpless world with no means of fighting back, since we do not age, it was the perfect plan.
The other part of the vision impacted me more than anything, that vile potion made us older children sterile, I had always wanted children, when I meet a guy, get married, have lots of children. But thats all now a dream................ And it was at that moment, I snapped, losing my folks, the cornstone of my life, I lost it, all I felt was a void the faith and hope that was there was gone.
I raised my glazed eyes to Galadriel, not really seeing her, I had to let this emotion out.........somehow. My hands were clenched so hard the knuckles turned white, then I let it go, I screamed, a scream thats that was full of pain and sorrow that had never been heard of in this peaceful wood, this Lothlorien. I felt like a wild animal that has been cornered and the only way to get out was to fight, my way free.
With the tears running down my face, I ran threw the forest like a mad woman. Running by were we spent the night grabbing my katana, without thinking I ran to the clearing were my sisters and I had the soccer game. I stood in the middle of the field, with my katana in one hand and just stood there.
I didn't know nor cared if anyone was in the field Hate, pure unadultrated hate swept threw my veins. I stared at the blade in fasination, when a shadow fell across my vision. I reacted without thought, and lunged at the intruder.
I came within a hairs breath of his throat, I gasped in shock of what I almost did. Then he did something to shock me more, bringing his hands to his tunic, he ripped it apart, exposing his neck and upper chest, I was shocked as he said, "Strike!"
My mouth to drop open in shock, my eyes locked with his, I felt my tears running down my cheeks. Dropping my sword, I slid to my knees, covering, I avoided his eyes as I covered them with my palms, I sob quietly.
I felt a strong hand on my shoulders, rubbing them gently, thinking it was Beth, I touched the hand in graditude, I stiffened for this hand was large, and somewhat rough, I felt the calluses on the pads of the fingers. I was afraid to look up, to find who was being so nice to me, after I almost killed the March Warden. Then the figure moved in front of me, his hands on both of my shoulders, putting pressure on them, making me look up into, blue eyes?
It was not Haldir, like I was expecting, or hoping it was him, I was the elf that watched the sunrise with me, Legolas. My eyes seem to lock with his, but he made no move to comfort me. I was so focused on Legolas I did not feel small hands all over my back. Until I heard my name I didn't even know who was touching me now.
Looking over my shoulder, my eyes were glazed with tears, as I looked up into the blue eyes of familar being, he didnt say a word, he didn't have to for I saw it in his eyes, my voice cracked, "F-Frodo?"
"Yes Lady Kat?"
I smiled through my tears, "Thanks."
Poor Frodo through his own pain he comforts me, as the Hobbit pulled me into his arms I cried, into his linen shirt.
