Chapter 9

Disclaimer: Tolkien yes, Emily no.

That's nice, leaving me here alone, or should I say alone again since I seem to have been spending a lot of time alone lately.

Since I'm here, I might as well have a look around.. What have we here then? Well, I can't see much from this bed. So I guess I might as well get up.

Hey wait a minute, these aren't the clothes I came in with! This is a dress! I don't do dresses! mini skirts, yes. Knee length skirts, within reason, but long - to the ankle woven frocks I DON'T THINK SO!

Wait a minute, who put me in this? Who took my clothes off! When I find out, I am going to chase them with a big stick, preferably one with a pointy nail in…

This dress is horribly boring, its long and its grey. Its not very flattering either, It looks like one hell of a nightie. It could really do with something like the sort of bow strings you used to get on those dresses your sadistic parents put you in as little girls (or God forbid, little boys). Oh wait, it has them, they just weren't done up. This'll do.

Ah, that's better it is at least slightly fitting and I don't look like a man in a nightshirt anymore.

Nothing on my feet though. Brrr this stone floor is cold.

Goodness knows how long his blond royal highness is going to be, or how long it takes HRH Anger Management before he starts going beetroot?

What shall I do for whats proberly going to be something like a week?

Investigating this room seems to be in my top ten right at this current moment in time.

So what have we got here?

Large cavernous room…

Symmetrical rows of beds…

Interesting choice of lighting…

Seems like a standard underground cave hospital wing to me. Having of course seen many underground cave hospitals.

Its sort of gloomy, even though its lit by torches, bit of a fire hazard if you ask me.

Its quite long too. Hang on, theres something at the end…

What is that? Its too far away to see it properly, lets just go a little nearer. Hehe, the dress makes a swishy noise as I walk. I can see it better, its small, rectangular and it seems to be flickering. Its bigger than I thought, though still very small, but why the flickering? Oh I get it, its got a torch on either side, I think it's a door?

Of course! You have to get in here somehow, unless they just materialise in here, but I don't think even that's impossible for these weird people. Since there is nothing else to do around here, whats to stop me from finding out whats on the other side?

That's the best idea I have had all day.

Wow, it does make a funny noise, I could swish around all day, Goodness grief how long is this room? I have been walking for almost 5 minutes and I'm only just nearing the door. I can just reach out and touch it, will it be locked?

What will happen if I go through it? Will there be Elves there? Would they be armed and if so would they shoot me?

Should I even go through the door at all?

Its just in front of me, the polished surface is reflecting the torchlight, I've got my hand pressed against it and its so tempting, I don't feel as alone as I did a moment ago, but there can't be anyone else in here, I would have heard them on the stone floor.

"Stop! It would not be in your best interests to go though that door"

A familiar voice warned. A hand just reached over my shoulder and took mine off from the door using it to turn me around, bringing me almost into the face of who just stopped me going through that door.

Turns out that it was Legolas.

I don't like this, he looks almost angry, I'm right in his face as he hasn't released the tight grip he has on my hand.

"Let go of me."

"The king will see you now".

His grip really does hurt and the way he is looking at me is frightening.

I think he can see that he is scaring me, because he has just let go.

Well I don't intend on staying that close to him, no matter how good looking he is.

I'm backing off, theres only a few feet between us and the door, arrrrrrrrrg! Dress! I've stood on the back hem!

Ooof!

Right into the door!

That really hurt! My head I mean.

"Fxxx!"

"Katie?"

Legolas sounds unsure, possibly guilty too though I am not sure if its my imagination though.

Oh, so he is offering his hand out now is he? Well he can bugger off! I'll get myself up thanks.

Giving both Legolas and his two guard friends evil glares I stood up and smoothed out my skirt.

A/N: I made that a little longer as a sort of later chapter apology. Hope you like?
