*Elvish* ~Mind speak~ "Common tongue/English" ThoughtChapter 3
"You can…" Elrond said.
"We can put hornets in their beds!" Kali said.
"You can…" Elrond began again.
~Yeah! And shave their heads!~ Kira chimed in.
"What about…" Elrond tried again.
"That's mean, though," Kali said. "Would you like your hair shaved off?"
~Not particularly.~ Kira said.
"What about acting as a fair maiden in distress?" Elrond finally got his two bits into the sentence.
~We're not tall enough!~ Kira and Kali both said to him in mind speak.
"Sit on one another's shoulders," Elrond said. "Put on one of Arwen's dresses and act as though you have been attacked by a poisonous snake. Then put hornets in their beds and shave their heads later."
The two girls looked at each other started jumping up and down, Kali yelling at the top of her lungs. Elrond looked at them and thought to himself this is going to be very interesting.
Kira stopped jumping after giving this some thought. ~Waaaaaait.~ She said. ~It won't look… normal.~
Kali, too, stopped jumping. "Than ARWEN'LL do it!!!"
The next day they let Arwen onto their secret. She willingly consented to help them.
"I want to get back at them for al the pranks they pulled on me. Once they convinced Aragorn to put a slug in my bed. I nearly wringed their necks." She laughed, tears of mirth misting her eyes. "This could get very, veeeeeeeery interesting."
They were planning the details of when and how they were going to do it when Elladan and Elrohir burst into Arwen's room.
"Maybe I should wear this dre-''
"What are you planning?" Elladan asked.
Kali thought fast and answered "We're gonna play dress up! Wanna play?"
Seeing the look on his brother's face, Elrohir jumped in and said, "Maybe another time. You're supposed to have your lessons now."
Kira nodded to her sister and the two got up. Kali answered him and said, "Sure, where are we gonna do it?"
"In the archery fields outside." Elrohir said. "Come on, you've wasted most of the afternoon anyway! Hurry up, Elladan!" The four went out to the archery field and the two elves started teaching the girls how to shoot a bow.
Three hours later Elladan and Elrohir were ready to give up. Kali was sitting out due to her blindness. Kira had succeeded in shooting everything but the target, which was a mere 5ft away. *This is disastrous* Elladan said to his brother as they surveyed the scene.
*I agree* Elrohir said, "Girls, why don't we quit for today and head over to the library to study Elvish." The girls nodded their heads and the group headed toward the library.
"What about me?" Kali asked as she tried to jump off the fence to join them. "Wait for me!!! Ow! Hey, Kira!!! You know I STILL can't see one blasted doggone thing!" Elladan sighed and slung her over his shoulder. "This really isn't any better, you know," She mumbled angrily.
Three weeks later, Elladan and Elrohir were in the library, looking at some maps, when they heard a high-pitched scream, "Arwen." They said, simultaneously, dropping what they were doing and running in the direction of the source of the scream.
They reached a meadow where they found Arwen standing on top of a rock, looking frantically around her.
"What happened?" Elrohir asked, worriedly.
Arwen put on a tragic face. "There was a mouse… then a spider…" She paused dramatically and sniffled. "Then a… a… a fly." She whimpered.
Elladan burst out laughing. "The great warrior, afraid of a mere spider?" He asked, doubled over laughing, his twin joining in the merriment.
Unbeknownst to them, two small figures were perched in the trees. ~NOW!~ Two small (but heavy) shapes came hurtling out of empty space and collided with them, sending them both into the tall grass. The two shapes quickly jumped up and started running.
They ran towards the house, one guiding the other and never once looking back.
"For innocent little 7-year-old mortals, they sure are fast!" Elrohir panted, sprinting after them.
The twins rushed inside the house and quickly found Elrond. "They… they… attacked us… They…" Kali whimpered, "They put a spider in my hair and threw a dead mouse at Kira!" Kira wrinkled up her nose, acting both disgusted and surprised.
"Boys, you know better than that! I thought I had raised you not to torture small children." Elrond said to the twins who arrived at that moment through the doorway.
~Hmph.~ Kali said. ~We're hardly small.~
~I heard that.~ Elrond said.
"Ada, Estel hardly counts for small." Elrohir said.
(a/n: Just for the record, what they're saying is that they torture Estel/Aragorn, too. They're the same person, in case you don't know.)
"We DIDN'T DO IT!!!" Elladan said. "It was THEM!"
"As your punishment, I sentence you both to…" Elrond contorted his face into a look of pure evil.
"He wouldn't." Elladan said.
"No." Elrohir said. "Not…"
"Manure duty."
"He would," They said at the same time. They both groaned at the same time.
"Ada, you RUINED our record! We haven't had to do it in 382 years!" Elrohir.
"You've been counting?" Elladan and Elrond asked, flabbergasted. "Inconceivable!"
(A/N: Princess Bride, anyone???)
~Hmmm… what should we do now?~ Kira asked.
"Like, maybe… ah… NOT torture us!!!!" Elladan said.
"YOU CAN HEAR US?" Kali asked.
"Duh." Elrohir said.
~Hmph~ Kira and Kali said.
Elrond stopped laughing and looked out the window at the sun, which had reached its high point in the sky. "You might want to change out of those clothes." He called over his shoulder as he left the room. "You have 15 minutes until your punishment starts. I'm sure you don't want… ah… horse excrement on your nice hunting clothes."
"Enjoy your last moments of freedom." Arwen said, coming up behind them.
The elvish twins took off running, but not without a last glare at Arwen and the girls.
~Neener neener neener!~ They heard two small voiced chanting in their heads. They just sighed and went into their rooms to change.
