The white carriage moved slowly down the slippery road. It was raining hard in the forest today. All those who were walking were soaked. But not Prince Legolas, since he rode in his pretty white carriage. Every elf-maiden hoped that one day that carriage would stop for them. That day has yet to come.
Legolas was thrown slightly forward as the carriage suddenly stopped.
"What is going on?" he called through gritted teeth, stepping out of the carriage. A few girls walking on the road stopped to stare and giggle. A crowd had gathered in front of the carriage. Legolas ran over to it. He recognized the girl quickly.
"Are you seriously blind?" he asked, annoyed. "Why can't you watch where you're going?"
"But Prince Legolas," said the carriage driver, "she is blind." Legolas suddenly grew pale and his expression grew grave.
"Please forgive me," he said, "I-I did not know."
The girl lay on the ground staring straight ahead.
"What happened?" asked Legolas.
"I did not see her in front of me," said the carriage driver. "Next thing I know, she is on the ground."
"Let's get her inside the carriage," said Legolas, grabbing the girl and pulling her up so that his nice and expensive clothing would not get dirty, but to his utter dismay the girl leaned against him and his nice and expensive clothes got just as dirty as she was. He cursed lightly and could have sworn he heard her giggle, but then assumed it was probably one of those girls that were staring at them. He set her into the carriage and then climbed in himself.
The girl sighed as she lay back against the soft seat. Legolas did too, never taking his eyes off of her. She was quite pretty, even he had to admit. She stared straight ahead the entire time and then suddenly flipped her hair and shook her head around, spraying muddy water everywhere. Legolas almost screamed. The inside of the carriage and himself were splattered with muddy water. He groaned, trying to wipe off the substance off of his face with a handkerchief.
"Could you please not do that again,"he said, sounding a bit angry and disgusted.
"Oh! I'm so sorry, " the girl said in a tiny voice, "Would my savior like to tell me his name?"
"I am Prince Legolas,"he smiled proudly.
"Oh! My lord!" she smiled to no one. "Thank you very much for saving me. I do not know what happened! You are so gracious to your people, my lord. I am forever grateful."
"Yes, well you know, it is my duty," Legolas said, turning slightly red.
"Indeed, but nevertheless, you have my deepest gratitude," she said.
The carriage finally drew to a stop. The carriage driver opened the door for them and Legolas carefully helped the poor blind girl out of the carriage.
"Will you walk me to my class?" she asked in a somewhat whiny voice. Legolas rolled his eyes, but nevertheless kept up his princely voice.
"Of course," he said and then muttered under his breath, "Would you like me to carry you as well?"
"Well, now that you so kindly mention it, can you carry me?" she asked. Some people turned towards them. Legolas' face twisted in agitation. He was the bloody Prince, heir to the throne of Mirkwood! He wasn't supposed to be doing this kind of crap!
He carefully picked her up. Although this girl seemed pretty.....average sized to him, she was incredibly heavy and Legolas swayed under the weight.
"I'm not too heavy, am I?" she asked in a sweet voice.
"No, no, of course not," Legolas choked out, trying to hold her, walk, and breath at the same time.
She directed him to her class, which led them into the girl's lavatory and then Legolas realized he had been given directions by a blind girl and asked her what class she had. It was the same as his. Funny that he never noticed anyone blind in the class...As they walked into class, everyone burst into laughter.
The blind girl jumped out of his arms and ran over to her friends, emptying rocks out of unseen pockets in her dress..
"See, I told you I'd find a new mode of transportation," she laughed and then turned to an infuriated and surprised Legolas and winked.
"What the fuck?" he screamed. Silivren pranced up to him.
"That's what you get for getting mud all over me yesterday and not apologizing," she said, "So now we're even."
"Oh, we are far from even," he growled and pushing past her, slumped in his seat and turned to his friends.
"Silivren, I think you have just got yourself in some deep shit," Vellon said.
"No matter," giggled Silivren, "He doesn't seem too bright anyways. What's the worst that can happen?"
A/N: Yes, what is the worst that can happen? :)
