Chapter Twenty-two: baths and insight
Disc: not mine.
A/N: Whoa, you guys really respond. I got like 5 reviews in a half hour and there were four more this morning. Also I noticed that someone noted about the batteries. Hehe, well like just about everything else that will come into play later. Also the whole Tricia/Legolas thing will happen later.it just doesn't work right away. Legolas is trying not to fall for her b/c of the fact that they both come from different worlds for one, also she's a sixteen year old girl and he's over.two thousand I think it was. Then someone said that the fact that we fall in love with the Hobbits is twisted.WHY??? Other than their hairy feet they're so cute and playful. Well thanks for reviewing, also I hope you guys are up for a bit of a twist at the ending.
Holly was still in the bathing room. The other girls had been done for a while now. Tricia knocked on the door.
"Holly! Come on! Lady Galadriel wants to meet us!" She called to her friend.
"One more minute!" The blonde called back.
Tricia waited and after another five minutes passed her friend emerged from the bathing room. She was still trying to dry out her hair. They met back with the group and waited as Holly brushed her hair.
"Ready." She said with a smile. Haldir just looked at her oddly then motioned for the group to follow him. They went up flights of stairs and then reached the top to find a platform with stairs that led to a beautiful tree house. Galadriel and Celeborn descended the stairs and greeted them. The girls marveled at how pretty Galadriel was in person. She talked with the men for a moment about certain feelings among the group then turned her attention to the young human females.
(Okay...this is where my brain farted so what ever comes out I'm sorry if it sucks.)
"All of you have taken this task for your own reasons. As long as you always keep the courage within (looks at Holly), your true wisdom (looks at Rachel), and rely on your modesty (looks at Tricia), then you shall prevail over all obstacles. Keep hope and trust your heart."
Night had fallen and the group got ready for bed. Aragorn and Boromir were missing. The hobbits, Gimli, Legolas, and the girls were getting ready to go to sleep. Galadriel had insisted on the girl's taking a room. After a while they had reluctantly agreed. Holly sighed and looked at the sky. "I'm..gonna go for a walk." She said as she grabbed her CD player and left the room.
"She's in one of those moods again." Rachel said. Tricia just nodded. They all went through mood changes, and sometimes it got them into fights with each other. Holly seemed to be more moody though. She always blamed it on being a Scorpio, which her friends guessed could be a reason. Rachel had gotten annoyed with that excuse and also that it was PMS.
There was a bridge on the outskirts of the Elven haven. Holly sat on the rail and then lay down to look at the sky. Her CD player was already playing the end of "Big Machine" by the Goo Goo Dolls. She smiled and thought it safe to sing along with Avril Lavigne as "I'm with you." Started.
"I'm standing on the bridge, I'm waiting in the dark, I thought that you'd be here.by now. There's nothing but the rain. No footsteps on the ground, I'm listening but there's no sound. Isn't anyone trying to find me? Won't somebody come take me home? It's a damn cold night, trying to figure out this life. Won't you take me by the hand take me somewhere new, I don't know who you are but I, I'm with you."
Merry had followed her to the bridge. He thought at first that she was talking to herself but then realized she was singing. She sounded kind of sad. He listened to her sing and got the feeling that she was homesick and lonely. How could she be lonely? Tricia and Rae were almost always by her side, and then he was always around trying to learn more about her.
"I'm lookin for a place, I'm searching for a face, Is anyone here I know? Cause nothings going right, and everything's a mess. And no one likes to be...alone." Holly sang. She sat up and looked into the water. She had stopped singing.
Merry could still hear the song playing on her CD player. He walked slowly over to the bridge and leaned over the rail so that his reflection showed with hers. Holly jumped and almost dropped her player into the water. "Merry? What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing." The hobbit replied. "Are, you okay?"
"Oh..yeah. I'm fine, I just felt like being by myself for a few minutes. I've.had a lot on my mind."
"Homesick? I think we all are. It's okay. We'll make it through and help you get back." Merry said.
"If.we can't get back, and if I get through this alive. Could you take me to the Shire? I've always wanted to see it." The girl asked with a smile. Merry smiled back then nodded. "Cool. Well.. let's go get some sleep. The next few days are going to be rough."
