Disclaimer: I do not own anything you recognize as Tolkien's.
Niere-86: Thanks.
Violet Baudelaire: Thanks for your review(ch 7).
Misao Demon Master: I understand what its like to be busy. :)
undulea: Thank you.
Eathiln: She is only experienced with certain weapons because of her years and years of martial arts (and the bow isn't one of them.) And the others do help out (that's how Zach was killed) James and the Professor did what they could while injured and Christy and Melinda...well they did what I would probably do in that situation...hide in fear and hope they wouldn't die. And Alexis isn't the "fearful warrior" she seems to be at the moment. She will freak out in the near future and basically be a useless lump. As for Tolkien being there...it explains the books doesn't it? And last but not least you'll just have to wait and see what happens. Hopefully you won't be disappointed. But I am trying to take my time on this because if I don't explain it just right things will get very, VERY confusing for everyone reading. Don't worry it was a 60 seconds well spent. I just hope you don't think the time you take to read my story is a waste of your time. :)
Laer4572: Don't worry he makes up for it. He was just hurt that she lied to him.
Le Suze Thanks
animalspirit8989: Thanks. You'll find out what happened to her later on.
NessaGreenleaf: Thanks.
FilthyMudblood345 You're right. Sorry about that. I will slow it down.
Raz 42492: Thanks for the review.
Arami: Ha yes, that's fishing for info but I'll tell you anyway. No she's not.
crazycatluver: Thanks.
MysticalMonaLisa: Thanks. I'm glad you think so.
Okanim: LOL. Hate to disappoint you though. I'm not done with her yet.
:Improtant Author's note: Many thanks to Arami! Arami has brought it to my attention that someone by the name of ElvenPrincesapphire has taken my story Prisoner of the Fellowship change a VERY few things and renamed it 'Broken' and is claiming it as hers. I have reported it to Fanfiction and now am waiting patiently for them to take action. I do not mind if writers are inspired by my ideas and base a story off of them as long as they use their own creative minds to develope the story into something of their own. In fact I would be flattered that they think so much of my idea, but to take a story and post the majority of it WORD for WORD and then call it their own is STEALING. And she wasn't even discrete about it as Prisoner of the Fellowship is in her favorites list on her bio pages so that anyone can see what she has done. I just hope that none of you with stories of your own ever have to experience this as it is not a pleasent feeling to see someone taking credit for something that you have spent so much time on. Again thank you for pointing this out to me! Arami, I would like to use you as a character in my story as a thank you so if you will e-mail me we can talk about the details. :) I'm sorry this chapter is so short but I wanted to address this issue. The next chapter will actually be the rest of this chapter and may also be short, but after that they will be longer (I hope :) )
The next morning Alexis leaves her room in search for Legolas. After he found her crying in the garden he hadn't said anything more about their lies to him and his father but she felt he should know the truth. She knew she owed him that after the way his father had taken them in and treated them so well. Alexis only wished that Legolas' father was there so that she could apologize to him as well.
When she finds Legolas, he is talking with a man with dark brown hair. After taking in his appearance she realises that the man must be Aragorn. Alexis approaches them and they both look up at her. "Legolas, my lord," she greets them. "I'm sorry to interupt."
The man watches her curiously and Legolas smiles at her. "It's quite alright, Alexis. This is my friend Aragorn. Aragorn, this is Lady Alexis."
Alexis smiles. "I thought it might be. It's a pleasure to meet you Lord Aragorn. Or would you prefer me to call you Strider?" Aragorn looks surprised at her question so she quickly explains. "It's a long story and I will be more than happy to explain it later if you wish. In fact, that is why I wanted to speak with Legolas." Alexis turns to Legolas. "I owe you an apology and the truth. Will you meet me in the same garden after the morning meal so that I may explain?"
"Alexis, it is not necessary," Legolas says.
"Yes, it is. I want you to know the whole truth." Alexis turns to Aragorn. "If you don't have other things you need to do I would like for you to be there as well so that I may explain how I know who you are."
After they agree to meet Alexis in the garden she leaves them to finish their conversation and makes her way to the dinning hall. Elrond approaches her and guides her toward the head table. "Milord, I'm sorry for the way I acted yesterday."
Elrond places a hand on her shoulder and smiles. "Think nothing of it. It is very understandable that you were upset. We will find a way to send you back home, Alexis."
Alexis nods and then looks up at him. "Lord Elrond, you know that Tolkien is from an earlier time period on earth than I am, right?"
He nods, "Yes, I know this."
Alexis lowers her voice so that only her is able to hear her. "Then I should tell you that he wrote many books about Middle Earth. Some of these where about the history of the elves and of Middle Earth. One was about Bilbo's adventure with the dwarves. But one of his stories is about what is taking place now and what is to come. It's about the Ring that Frodo carries."
Elrond looks surprised for a minute and then nods. "Thank you for telling me this."
"I thought you should know. I don't want you to be suspicious of me and think I'm a spy if I know things," she tells him.
Elrond nods, "I would like to discuss this with you further but I think Gandalf should be present as well. We will meet after the evening meal in my study."
