DISCLAIMER: I own nothing. Not LOTR. Not California. Not a new red shiny mustang that I long to have. NOTHING. NADA.
A/N: this story can be mary-sueish. Don't like it-don't read it. Flames: no thanks I don't think my self-confidence can go any lower. Nicely telling me how I can improve as a writer is welcomed. Thank you all. And on the first chapter I accidentally signed at the bottom as Hello World. That is my name for fictionpress. Sorry about the mix up.
A/N: this chapter was originally 2 chapters but they were so short that I combined them together.
Moonlight and Starlight-Thanks! I was debating if I even wanted to put it up. I read your story. I like it! I haven't seen many stories with someone being fostered either.
Chapter 5: Books? What books?
After dinner and a good nights sleep they were off to more riding. Now there was an urgency to get to Rivendell.
"This will be the last stop before we reach Rivendell," Aluin announced.
"What's this Riverdelly thingy-" Laure started before Ilsa pulled her into the trees for a private talk.
"Okay. We are obviously known by them. I trust them but we have to have them trust us. So we must act how they would expect us to act," Ilsa said.
"Oh, so we have to pretend that we are who they think we are so we don't give ourselves away."
"Right."
"Wait, how do we act like us if only they know what we act like? So then how will we convince them that we are really us?"
"You're making this more complicated then it really is," Ilsa said smiling.
"Great. It's a perfect plan. It's just the executing that's hard. Great."
Rivendell was ten times better then the surrounding forest. It was exquisite. Everything was just outstanding. The architecture and plants were placed precisely so. When Legolas looked back the girl's mouths were somewhere by their feet.
"You two look like you have never seen Rivendell before."
"Well, we haven't-" started Laure.
"Seen it in a long time," Ilsa interrupted, rapping Laure in the stomach.
"Welcome Milords, Miladies, to Rivendell," said an elf; "I will show you to your rooms."

"Your rooms are connected, Miladies. Milord Elrond thought you would prefer it that way."
He opened the door to show them inside.
"You will notice, Lady Ilsa, that your books have been placed here as well. Milord believes that you would want to refresh on them."
"My books?" Ilsa pointed to herself.
"Yes, milady. Your books."
"Oh, you mean those books. Of course I would want to refresh them. Could you just tell me in a few words what the books are about?"
"Healing, milady," He said, confused by her attitude.
"Oh, right I'm a healer. Did you hear that Laure I heal things," She grimaced.
After he left Ilsa spun around at Laure saying, "I don't heal things!! If I have to heal anybody I will probably end up KILLING them!! I don't even like the site of blood!!! I'm doomed, God hates me I swear he does!"
"It'll be ok. We just have to study. Now where did you put your books?"
"I don't know! I'm not really me remember!"
When they had found them, which were conveniently located in a bookshelf, they flipped through the pages.
"How on earth am I going to be able to remember all of this?" whined Ilsa.
"Here just tell me how to set a bone."
To their surprise not only was she able to tell how to set a bone but what herbs to use to ease the pain.
"You don't need to study, you already know this!!" Laure voiced.
When a knock sounded at the door Laure volunteered to get it, letting Ilsa read on. When she opened the door a tall blonde elf wrapped her in a warm embrace saying, "You two are in a lot of trouble. I turn my back for one moment and the next second you are gone. Legolas told me this would happen." He rushed in giving Ilsa the same treatment.
"Do you know how worried ada and naneth are right now?" he said shaking Ilsa, "What do you think you are doing here? I would like an answer right now."
Before any of his questions could be resolved a messenger came to get them.
"Milord Elrond wishes for your presence in his study," he said, "Do not worry master Inwir they will be back shortly."
Thanks for reading! Review. Don't know how? Little purple button right there on your left. No, your other left. That's it. Good reader. You make my world go round (if you review).
Thanks a million
