This is my first story. Please tell me if you like

Middle Earth 1236

They all went out the door and Lori explained everything again. The two guys walked down to the village to find the girls father. Lori and Whit started walking through the forest where they were supposed to meet and just walked around.

"When do you think they can get him here?" asked Whit.

"I don't know," said Lori.

"Lori, are we there yet?" asked Whit.

"No."

"Oh... what about now?"

"No."

"What about now?" asked Whit very impatiently.

"Don't make me turn us around and take us straight back to the palace," said Lori.

"Sorry," said Whit.

"Do you think right here is a good spot?" asked Lori.

"I guess," said Whit.

"When are they going to get here?" Lori asked to herself.

Whit felt uncomfortable where they were. She had been out in the forest before with Haldir, but she didn't feel this way. 'Maybe it was because I was with Haldir,' thought Whit. Whit looked all around her then she looked up. What she saw didn't please her at all.

"Lori," said Whit still looking up.

"What?" asked Lori as she looked at Whit.

"Look up," said Whit.

Lori looked up in the trees and saw the famous Mirkwood Spiders. They both looked pretty traumatized then Lori said,

"Whit, start walking slowly north."

"Lori there are huge spiders above us."

"And your point is?" asked Lori.

"Shouldn't we kill them?"

"Whit lets use common since with this. There are about 30 spiders that I can see, maybe more hiding somewhere, so no, we're not going to kill them," explained Lori.

"Not even one?" asked Whit.

"No, cause you'll get trigger happy, now come on," said Lori.

Whit started to walk to the north with Lori and said to herself,

"I do not get trigger happy."

"Yes you do," said Lori.

"Curse elfish hearing," said Whit.

"I heard that," said Lori.

They were almost out of that area when they realized the spiders were following them.

"Awe crap. They're following us," said Lori.

"Can we use the grenades?" asked Whit with a big grin on her face.

"If they get any closer we can," said Lori who had one ready to pull the pin.

They kept coming toward them and they both had a grenade ready to pull the pin.

"On the count of three we pull, drop, and run," said Lori. "One, two, THREE," said Lori as they both pulled the pins dropped them and started sprinting away from the grenades. The spiders looked at the grenades and sat there until it exploded. Lori looked back at the spiders and didn't see any; come to think of it, she didn't see any trees either. 'I thought there were trees there,' Lori asked herself.

The Village

Legolas and Haldir had fond the house that Lori and Whit's father was staying at.

"Well, this is it," said Haldir.

"Yeah," said Legolas as he knocked on the door.

An elf in elfish attire, but short hair answered the door. When he realized that it was Legolas he bowed and said,

"Sir... is there anything I can do for you?"

"Yes you can walk with us," said Haldir.

"We need to talk to you about something," said Legolas. All of a sudden they heard a huge boom.

"And if you'll follow us you will find out what we need to talk about," said Legolas as he, Haldir, and the elf started running toward the sound of the boom.

All three of them were running and they saw two figures dressed in camouflage running toward them.

"Oh no," said the elf," I'll handle this."

The two figures stopped and the elf went over to them and said,

"Soldiers, what are you doing here!?"

The two figures looked at each other and then Lori took off her helmet. Her father took a step back and said with a big smile on his face,

"Lori!"

"You know what, you look awfully happy for what I'm about to do to you," said Lori in a very cold tone. She could feel all of her rage bubbling inside of her.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

Lori gave him one look and then she hit him with all of her might. Her father fell on the ground in front of her.

"THAT'S FOR TELLING ME YOU WERE GOING TO IRAQ, BUT DIDN'T!" shouted Lori.

"Oh, so you went with that approach," said Whit as she took off her helmet.

"Hi Whit," he said on the ground.

"Oh don't 'hi Whit' me," said Whit.

"What do you mean?" he asked getting up from the ground.

Whit was getting really mad at him. She took a really hard swing at the elf and he fell on the ground, again.

"THAT'S FOR NOT TELLING ME I'M YOUR DAUGHTER!" screamed Whit.

He got back up and said,

"Oh, so you found out."

Once he was up, Lori hit him again and said,

"THAT'S FOR NOT TELLING ME WHIT'S MY SISTER!"

"All right I get it I should have told you," he said getting up off the ground for the third time.

"Yeah you should have told us, but why was Whit adopted and I wasn't? Or is that something you're going to keep from us?" said Lori.

"Do you want the whole story?" he asked.

"No, not at this moment," said Lori.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because there is a huge spider right behind you," said Lori as she and Whit pulled out their gun and both shot it. It fell to the ground in a second.

"Wait was the big boom you two?" asked Haldir.

"Yeah," said Whit.

"You used grenades?" the elf asked.

"Don't talk, right now you are just very, very, UGGGGGGGG!" said Lori as she turned and stormed off, but then came back to join the rest of the group.

"I hate it when I get on this side of her," said the elf.

"Well you shouldn't have been on it in the first place," said Legolas. "I have a question, what is your name?"

"Harsneia," he said.

Whit snorted and said,

"Sounds girly."

"His name from where I come from is Dill," said Lori.

Dill (as we'll call him) realized that Legolas was still there.

"OH, Lori, Whit, meet Prince Legolas of the Mirkwood relm, and Haldir, March Warden of Lorien."

"We've met," said Lori.

"Do you two have a place to stay?" asked Dill.

"Yes, we do," said Whit.

"Where?"

"I'm going to make this hard for you and say guess," said Lori.

He thought about it for a minute. Legolas stepped over toward Lori and started rubbing her shoulders then he kissed her head. He could really feel her tension. Dill looked at Lori and Legolas. Haldir went over to Whit and started asking questions about her gear then he gave her a big hug after she told him about the spiders and what they did. Then Dill looked at Whit and Haldir the something clicked in his mind.

"No," he said.

"No what?" asked Legolas.

"Lori, Whit you are not staying with them," he said.

"Who are you to tell us what to do?" asked Lori.

"I'm your father!" he said.

"Okay, I'm leaving," said Lori. They all followed Lori as she walked back to the palace. Legolas and Lori held hands and so did Haldir and Whit. On the way back to the palace they saw a figure, a really big figure, walking towards them. When it got close enough the group realized it was T.

"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" shouted Lori.

A/N How was it? Okay, I just got home from volleyball camp and I am in real need of a shoulder rub. I'm sore all over! Especially my right shoulder. Today, another girl and I had to do 1,000 sets, 500 each. I'll tell you when my next volleyball camp is when it gets closer to the date. It is an over night camp so I can't update that week. I'll update before and after the camp though. Just wanted to let you know what was going on. I had to tell someone about my pains cause no one is here to listen. Please review!
