Title: Crap… so we're in M.E, now what?!
Chapter 2:
Ok guys and girls, hope you enjoy the next instalment… Oh yeah, and I don't own anything, blah, blah, blah…
The girls had been walking for hours, well, it felt like hours to them. But in fact it had only been one hour, or so.
"Quinn, we're lost."
"No we're not."
"Yes we are. We've already past that tree."
"How can you tell? They all look the bloody same!"
"I can tell. And we're lost."
"No we're not."
Ruth exploded. "How can YOU tell if we're NOT lost?!? Hmmm?" She demanded. Quinn simply turned on her heel to face Ruth with a cocky smirk.
"Because we were never found, so how can we be lost? We're not lost because we never new where we were to begin with, therefore we can't be lost or found and simply are."
Ruth blinked. "Did that actually make sense?"
"I think so."
"Well good, as long as you know what your rambling about."
So the girls continued their long and tiresome walk deeper and deeper into the forest.
"Hmmm." Quinn muttered rather loudly with a frown on her face.
Ruth sighed. Quinn only did that when she wanted you to ask her what she was thinking.
"Yes Quinn?" Ruth asked in a half annoyed voice. Why Quinn couldn't just come out and say stuff was beyond her. Always the little drama Queen.
"Well." Quinn began hesitantly, "This could be nothing mind you, but, if this is Lothlorian, then-" Quinn stopped again and turned to look sharply at the trees to her left. Ruth glanced over there as well. There had been the most subtle of rustling's that could have easily been just a light breeze threw the trees. Quinn continued to walk and gestured for Ruth to follow.
"What the hell is up Quinn?"
Quinn smiled and looked at Ruth. "Act normal, like I'm telling you something funny."
Ruth looked sceptical. "Why?"
Quinn continued to smile in that wired creepy forced sort of look. "Because I think we are being followed." She said quietly.
Ruth instantly whipped her head to look back at the same bushes as before. "Don't look." Quinn hissed. Ruth instantly put her head to the front. Now that Quinn mentioned it, she'd had the enate feeling of being watched for a while now, but just brushed it of as paranoia.
"Ok," Quinn began in a low whisper as they continued to walk. "What I was going to say before is that we are a fair way into the forest and if this is Lothlorian then we should have run into some sort of watch. You no, elves guarding the border."
Ruth looked a bit nervus. "Well maybe this isn't Lothlorian." Quinn shook her head.
"No, I recognise the trees from the description in the book and the movies."
Ruth snorted. "You didn't read the books. Your such a simpleton that you thought the writings of Tolkien were 'Boring as all hell' I think were your exact words."
Quinn scowled. "I said it was boring as all hell because it was! But that doesn't mean I didn't give it a descent attempt at reading it. I mean, I was onto the second book when I finally lost interest."
Ruth snorted. "Shore Quinn, shore." Quinn blew her a raspberry.
"Can we focus hear?" Quinn demanded.
Ruth simply giggled and kept walking, she loved getting Quinn all wound up, it was one of her favourite pass times, and it was just so damned easy! 'Like shooting fish in a barrel' she thought coyly.
"Ok, I think you were about to say something stupid, so please continue." Quinn smacked Ruth's arm.
"Sigh, such disrespect for your betters." Ruth smacked Quinn behind the head. She did this quite often and Quinn was shore she was going to suffer permanent damage someday. But she let that one slide for now.
"As I was saying." Quinn scowled stupidly at Ruth, who just rolled her eyes and threw a handful of leaves at her. "I think we should try to talk to them, cos I'm pretty shore they know we know." Ruth thought this sounded stupid. She new if she were the elves she'd run at the first sight of Quinn.
"But," Continued Quinn with an annoying smirk, "I don't think they know we know, they know we know." Quinn snickered as Ruth tried to make shore what Quinn said actually made sense.
"Shut up Quinn."
Quinn snickered and started pelting her with little pieces of a stick she had picked up and was slowly snapping bits off.
"Ok, so assuming they know we know-" Ruth began.
"Yeah, they know we know, but they don't know that we know that they know we know. Unless they do know that we know they know we-"
Smack. "Shut up Quinn."
Quinn laughed and tried to get Ruth back, and failed as she scampered out of reach and bound up onto a fallen log and started to walk along type-rope walker style.
"Any ways, shouldn't we try to ask for help?"
Quinn scowled. "I've already said that!"
"Whatever, so how are we going to ask for help?"
Quinn smirked, "Like this: HEY!! IS THERE ANY ELVES OUT THERE?!?! COULED YOU HELP US PLEASE?!?!"
Ruth nearly fell off her log trying to shut Quinn up. "What are you doing you stupid cow?" She hissed. But was met with silence. Quinn was watching the trees. Everything had gone still. Ruth noticed how quiet the forest had become. Even the trees seemed to hold their breath.
"Oooo, spooky." Quinn giggle. No one came out to talk to them, but they both new they were still there.
"Ruth, they must have smelt you and now wont come out, it's all your fault."
Smack.
"Ow! Right, that's it!" Quinn tackled Ruth, who fell on her butt on the other side of the fallen tree.
"Ooops." Quinn muttered from her heap half on top of Ruth. "You bitch!" Ruth said threw her giggles.
"Are you alright?" Quinn asked only half concerned.
"Well, I think I bruised my ovaries, but other then that-"
"Your fine." Quinn said while snorting and hoisting Ruth to her feet.
Somewhere in the bushes in the general direction Quinn was shouting at:
The gruesome twosome definitely was being followed, and personally Bailenal was quite surprised the two had become aware of his presence. He would be getting a stern talking too from the March Warden when he arrived. He'd been ordered just to follow the girls, as the Lady of light had commanded, and await Haldir.
Galadriel said the girls were relatively harmless, but they shore did look rather, shall we say sinister? Well, at least the one named Quinn did. He almost shuddered at what she was waring. She wore black loose pants with many pockets and chains rapped around her waist, which hung at different lengths, Tucked into knee length brown leather boots lined with fir. She was wearing a black tourn singlet with one sleeve off the shoulder.
Her dark brown, almost black hair was cropped short around her shoulders in a very male fashion. But what really scarred the elf were her decorations. Many chunky necklaces in dark metals and dark stones hung around her neck. Her wrists had odd amounts or strange jewels. There seemed to be a spiked leather band on one wrist and countless black bracelets on the other.
Then there were the many rings. Some were leering sculls, and dark designs, while on her middle finger of each hand there was a claw like ring that covered her whole finger.
But her face it self looked very fierce. Her eyes were lined heavily with kohl and her lips were painted an unnatural dark red, almost blood red. Her eyes looked big and hollow, as if they could pierce threw any mans armour easier then an arrow. They were a bronze intense brown, and seemed to burn with an inner fire. There were many heavy rings and studs of different sizes in each of her ears and a glittery stud in her nose. She definitely looked the more evil of the two.
Her friend was very strange to him. She had very dark brown skin, and big walnut shaped liquid brown eyes. She fascinated him. All of her black hair was braided into many tiny braids and she too was dressed strangely. She was dressed in a very revealing pale brown skirt with a spaghetti strapped olive green singlet. She only wore thongs on her feet, and had alot les jewellery and no makeup at all. She had a simple gold heart on a chain around her neck and blue wristbands on either arm.
Though her attire was far less elaborate, she was very interesting, she stood only about 5'0" while her friend must have been about 5'6". Her dark skin was most baffling, the only people Bailenal had ever heard of with dark skin was the men of the east, and a rare band of elves from very far south called 'dark elves', but one again, she was to short for an elf, and the men of the east were far paler then she. Also their hair was not so tightly curled as hers.
Well any way, as Bailenal continued to scrutinise the two 'sinister' girls he failed to notice Haldir approaching until he was right next to him, Bailenal suppressed a flinch and looked at the two other elves Haldir had with him, Elest and Camlel. Both older elves then himself.
"March Warden." Bailenal nodded in greeting. Haldir didn't answer, instead he looked to the girls who were currently watching in amazement as silver tip butterflies fluttered around them and were happily laughing and squealing in delight. Despite their appearance, they didn't look so evil to him, not like some of the other elves posted at the very edges of the forest had reported.
"Quinn called out to us, she asked for help. What is our orders sir?" Asked Bailenal.
Elest frowned. "So we are already on first name biases with the enemy?"
Bailenal scowled. "I just payed attention enough to hear what they call each other." He replied in annoyance.
"They are not yet our enemy Elest, do not scorn Bailenal. He is right to ask, our orders are to bring to two before ore Lady and Lord."
Dun dun DUHHHHH, dramatic music!!!!! On that note, I shall leave you with my uba crappy cliffhanger, next chapter will come soon. Sorry it's moving so slow, but it will be a fair while until we see the fellowship. And then it'll just follow the normal story line.
…Or will it?…
Tell me your thoughts and ideas on the matter.
