Middle Earth 1236
Lori and Elladan lined up with the target they were going to throw at. Legolas took out his two carved handled knives and gave them to Lori to throw.
"Ladies first," said Lori.
Elladan rolled hi eyes and stepped up to center himself in front of the target. His left arm was out in front of him and pointing at his target, in his right hand was the blade of the knife. His right arm was pulled back. He studied his target for a moment and then threw his knife to hit the target. It hit the center of the bulls-eye.
He looked at Lori and said,
"Have fun the rest of the day."
Lori just kept her smile and said,
"I have a question for you Elladan."
"Yes," he said as he spun around to face her.
"Right hand or left hand?"
"I don't understand," he said.
"I'm ambidextrous, so right hand or left hand."
"Right," he said as he went over to stand by his brother.
"Okay."
Lori saw this smug look on Legolas's face. It was saying 'She's going to beat you' all over it. His arms were crossed and he was looking at Lori.
Lori lined up with the target. She wasn't nervous at all. She put her left hand out to the target and her right hand with the blade in her hand, was pulled back. She knew people were looking at her with somewhat nervousness. 'Would people stop that!' she thought.
Lori threw her knife. It seemed there was a long time before it hit the target and she just stood there and watched it. When the knife stopped going through the air they saw that, not only did it hit the target, it hit the handle of Elladan's knife in the back. It was wedge in there, but not so much that they can't get it out.
They all looked at it with amazement. Especially Elladan. Elrohir was laughing at Elladan.
"I knew someday you would get in trouble with this," said his brother.
"Shut up Elrohir," said Elladan through his teeth.
Legolas came over to hug Lori and kiss her on her head. Whit and Haldir came over to congratulate her and Whit gave her a big bear hug.
"You were lucky to get that," said Haldir.
"How did you ever learn that?" asked Legolas.
"Well, have you ever tried to kill mosquitoes with a knife from a distance?" asked Lori.
"No," said Legolas.
"Well we did one night in the summer," said Whit.
"Can't tell you we hit any, but we did," said Lori as she saw Elladan come over.
"I believe I'm in your debt," he said.
Lori thought about it for a minute and said,
"Just because I don't want you to follow me around all day, your off the hook," said Lori. She looked over at his brother, he was trying so hard no to laugh. "And I'm pretty sure your brother is going to tell everyone that you lost a throwing knife contest to a girl."
He looked over at his brother and he was nodding.
"Thank you, and I will make sure he doesn't," said Elladan.
"Yeah... right... okay.... You know what, I think I'm going to go," said Lori as she and Legolas headed off into the woods after he got his knife. Whit and Haldir stuck around to make fun of Elladan a little more.
"Next time you should ask a girl if she has had any training with weapons," said Haldir joking around with Elladan.
"Next time I'm not going to challenge a lady," he said.
"Why not?" asked Whit.
"Because, I realize now that they should not do this sort of activities," said Elladan turning his back to Whit to get some of his things together.
"What is that supposed to mean?" asked Whit putting her hands on her hips. She was making things hard for him, but she didn't like the fact that he said girls shouldn't do that sort of activities.
"Proper ladies, such as your self, should not be playing around with knives," said Elladan.
"Elladan, I think you should stop while you're ahead," suggested Haldir.
"Who are you callin' proper?" Whit asked Elladan.
"Elladan, I think you should..." started Elrohir, but was interrupted by his brother.
"Are you suggesting that you are not proper?" asked Elladan, completing ignoring everything Haldir and Elrohir said.
Whit got right up in front of his face and said,
"Completely."
Haldir then came over and grabbed Whit's hand and basically had to drag her away. Whit kept looking at Elladan until she was about ten feet away from him. Then Elladan and his brother gathered all of their weapons together and left the archery fields.
Elrohir and Elladan went to their room, which was right next to their father's, Lord Elrond, and their sister, Arwen. Their room had two beds in it, so no one had to sleep on the ground. Elrohir laid on his bed, which was closest to the door, and said,
"That Lori, she's not from here is she?"
"No," said Elladan going over to his wardrobe and putting up his weapons. Everything in his wardrobe was hanging nice and neat. Everything on his side of the room was picked up. As for his brother, well his side was a mess. He never bothered to pick any of his stuff up unless told to by his brother, or father. It never worked out with Arwen.
"Haldir said something about them being from America, if you haven't already forgotten," said Elladan.
"What about Whit?" asked Elrohir.
"Same thing, most likely."
There was a moment of silence between the two brothers. Elladan laid down on his bed and then Elrohir asked,
"Which one do you like best?"
"What?"
"Which one do you like best?"
Elladan thought about it for a second and said,
"Neither."
"Oh, come on... is it Whit?" asked Elrohir. Elladan crinkled his nose.
"No I guess not," said Elrohir. "Then it's Lori!"
Elladan didn't make any face at the comment and he sure didn't object to the statement. Elrohir was looking at his brother with a huge grin across his face.
"What?" asked Elladan.
"Nothing," said Elrohir, "I personally like Whit the best."
"Why? She is cocky, arrogant, and rude."
"I know, that's what is great about her."
"You haven't even known here for a day and you are already in love with her?" asked Elladan.
"What about you and Lori? She beat you and you love her," said Elrohir.
The brothers didn't speak anymore of Lori and Whit after that. They thought it best to keep their mouths shut on the matter. 'I wonder if they have any apples in the kitchen,' thought Elrohir. 'I wonder what Lori is doing right now,' thought Elladan.
Lori and Legolas had been wandering around the forest for about half-an-hour now. Lori had not earthly idea where she was, Legolas, on the other hand, knew exactly where they were. They were walking along a path talking about different animals, races, and cultures of Middle Earth.
"There are horses, like in your world," said Legolas.
"Yeah, that's probably the only animal I could point out here, besides the overgrown spiders," said Lori.
Suddenly Legolas stopped and looked around. His eyes looked sharp. Lori stopped and listened along with Legolas. They both heard a large group coming toward them. Legolas didn't know if they were good or evil, so he readied his bow and arrow. Lori didn't have any weapons so she stuck with listening. They ducked down behind a bush so no one could see them. The group got closer and closer. Finally they got so close that Lori and Legolas could hear what the group was saying.
"OWW, you butt-munch!" said one of them silently.
'I know that voice...and choice of words, too,' thought Lori. She stood straight up and looked at the group coming toward them. She knew them!
"CHRIS?!" yelled Lori.
Legolas came out from behind the bush and looked at Chris.
"What up, Lori... and where's Whit?" asked Chris.
"Not with us. Why are you here?" asked Lori then looking behind Chris to see the rest of the squad.
"We are here to warn you about T. He has an alliance with some group of terriorists from Iraq."
"You couldn't come here earlier and warn me about this?" asked Lori kind of ticked off that she could have know this earlier.
"Sorry," said Chris.
"Okay, lets just go back to the palace and talk about this there," said Lori as they looked around for the palace. "Legolas, how do we get back to the palace?"
"Follow me," he said.
A/N Like always...what did ya'll think? I want REVIEWS!!!!!! I need REVIEWS!!!! Okay that was my dramatic moment for the day... or hour... or minute. Most likely I'm going to have more than one of those a day. Oh well.
