Chapter 5
Legolas's POV
I walked through the corridors of Lord Elrond's home, not having anything productive to do. 'Where's Enellewyn when you need her?' I thought to myself, becoming extremely bored.
'If I were Enellewyn, where would I go?' I thought, pacing back and forth, some passersby staring at me oddly. Just then, my stomach growled noisily. 'The kitchens! Of course!'
With that last thought, I headed towards the kitchens at a brisk rate.
**
Soon I was outside the kitchen door. From the inside I could here a loud commotion going on. Then there was a crash, hysterical laughter, and yelling. I winced and then opened the door slowly.
**
NARRATOR'S POV
Legolas stepped inside the kitchens guardedly and was immediately lobbed by a chicken egg. He wiped the goop from his face, flinging it onto the floor. Legolas's face immediately contorted into one of fury.
The kitchen was covered in white powdery flour from the floor to the ceiling. Bits of egg and eggshell were scattered around the floor. Honey and jam was splattered on the walls, tables, and countertops.
Legolas was barely able to discern three figures laughing on the floor. One was taller than the other two, who were peculiarly short.
They were covered with flour from head to toe and the taller one slowly staggered to his or possibly her feet. When Legolas saw a pair of vibrant green eyes he immediately knew who it was.
"ENELLEWYN!" Legolas shouted. Enellewyn grinned puckishly and laughed.
"Couldn't resist the temptation! You look good with egg. The yolk matches your hair!" With that said Enellewyn erupted into laughter. Legolas snatched a discarded jar of jam and stuck his hand inside. When he took it out, his hand was submerged in the appetizing purple jam.
Before Enellewyn could register, she found a large blob of berry jam smothered in her face, mixing in with the flour. Her face had now turned an unpleasant lilac in color.
Now it was Legolas's turn to laugh. He clutched at his aching sides as he roared with laughter and mirth. His eyes teared and Enellewyn looked back at her hobbit friends.
She nodded at them. The two hobbits ran forward.
"CHARGE!" Armed with condiments, they sprung forth and bombed Legolas with food. Legolas yelled and fought back, taking the accumulated flour from the floor and tossing it at the hobbits while shielding himself from the onslaught.
Enellewyn grinned and chuckled at the turn of events. Soon, Legolas turned around momentarily and grabbed Enellewyn, dragging her into the heated food fight. And so it went on, two elves against two hobbits.
**
From the back of Elrond's residence, could be seen four figures creeping out from the back door of the kitchens. Two were taller and in great contrast to both the shorter forms behind them.
Had anyone saw them from afar, they would have thought they were seeing ghostly forms of spirits lurking about.
But they weren't exactly ghosts. In fact, the first one was Legolas Greenleaf, Prince of Mirkwood Forest and one of the best archers amongst the elves. The second one, trailing closely behind, was Enellewyn Silverleaf, daughter of the King Thranduil's advisor. The two that were in tow were Peregrin Took and Meriadoc Brandybuck of the little known land, the Shire.
Indeed it was an odd group of pedestrians. Let's take a peek at what's happening, shall we?
**
"Can you see anyone?" Enellewyn whispered in Legolas's ear.
"No, it's practically deserted," Legolas said gratefully. They were taking an immense risk, walking abroad, but it was better than waiting around for someone to find them, and the disorder they had made in the kitchen, or have anyone see them, their skin tarnished with flour and condiments.
"What if we get caught?" Pippin asked, looking around shiftily.
"Well, we better pray for the Valar to have mercy on our fates," Enellewyn said, gulping slightly at the aspect.
Pippin's eyes widened and he looked back at Merry. Merry just prodded him, as Legolas and Enellewyn had already surged frontward. Pippin looked around before dashing forward with Merry in tow.
They came to a corner and Legolas slowly poked his head around, checking to see if the way was clear. Without warning, he whipped back around, his eyes probably wider than they should've been. He pressed a finger to his lips and made wild actions with his hands.
Enellewyn furrowed her eyebrows and shrugged her shoulders in a sign of confusion. Legolas rolled his sapphire blue eyes skywards and peeked around the corner again. He then turned to Enellewyn.
"There is a maid!" he whispered harshly. Enellewyn blanched to some extent.
"Oh," she whispered meekly.
"We will go one at a time," Legolas said in a hushed tone to the three of them. "I will go first." Enellewyn nodded.
Under his breath, Legolas muttered a quick prayer to the Valar before dashing across the gap. Just as the maid turned around, Legolas dived behind the wall. She looked around shiftily before returning to the clothes she had been washing.
Legolas let out a quiet breath of relief and then motioned for Enellewyn to follow him. Enellewyn braced herself before sprinting out from behind the cover of the wall. She came to crouch next to Legolas.
Merry looked at Pippin.
"I'll go first." Pippin nodded anxiously. With that, Merry rubbed his hands together and sprinted out into the open on silent hobbit feet. Before long, he was with Legolas and Enellewyn, safely on the other side.
Pippin looked around, and then swallowed apprehensively. 'If I make it, I'll never eat another mushroom again!' And before he could have any other thoughts, like 'Why would I do that?' he had taken off at a quick run, going as swiftly as his short legs would allow.
Just as he was on the verge on reaching his three other companions, he stumbled and fell to the grass. Looks of worry over took Legolas, Enellewyn, and Merry's faces. Enellewyn reached a long arm out and Pippin grasped her hand as she pulled him back.
Pippin wiped a few beads of sweat from his forehead. He looked at the maid who had just turned around, staring suspiciously at the seemingly undisturbed setting.
Pippin exhaled thankfully. Somehow, in the process, a few particles of flour had managed to find their way inside his nose.
"Ah.ah.ACHOO!" Pippin cupped his hand over his mouth and looked at the rest of them forgivingly. Legolas and Enellewyn slapped their foreheads simultaneously while Merry just bowed his head muttering 'We're doomed,' continuously.
The maid's head snapped towards them.
"What are you four doing?!" she yelled shrilly.
"Rima ten'ta (Run for it)!" Legolas shouted. He took off as fast as possible. Enellewyn followed him, shouting over her shoulder.
"RUN FOR IT!" Merry and Pippin didn't hesitate to follow her suggestion.
The four of them ran until they reached a small pond in the woods. Merry and Pippin were breathing heavily, but Legolas and Enellewyn were only slightly out of breath.
Pippin supported himself against the trunk of an immense maple tree. After a moment of catching his breath he spoke thoughtfully.
"I'm hungry." The three of his companions looked at him incredulously.
"What?"

I know, I know, this chapter was REALLY short. But lately I haven't had a lot of time. My teacher's being a stickler with the homework and I've been writing this other story for a contest she entered me into.
I'll try to post soon! Sorry!
