Chapter 2:
(We're so sorry we took so long with the chapter, but we had something like MAJOR writer's block. This was really hard, since nothing really happens in the book or movie in this part of the story, it was hard for us to come up with something, oh by the way, don't forget that me (Erin) is not the only person writing this! Niori and Jane are helping too! thanks! enjoy the chappie!)
"Who are these human females?" Haldir asked noticing the girls for the first time.
"It's a long story, my friend," Aragorn explained, with a shake of his head.
"You will have time to explain," Haldir spoke, but then got an even bigger look of confusion, "What happened to you? You're all...different, all except for the little prince of Mirkwood."
"Oh," Jane explained, waving her hand in the air like it was nothing, "They were all dirty, so we took them to the mall to get their hair cut. No biggie."
Haldir looked even more confused. "Like I said, it's a long story," Aragorn sighed," but I can tell you the girls' names quickly. This is Jane," he pointed to Jane,"Erin", he pointed to Erin but she was to busy whispering with Frodo, "Carla", Carla had her usual glare on, "and Niori," Niori looked around in wonder.
"Oh...My...God...!!" Niori cried, "They're actual, living, breathing elves!!"
All of a sudden, Niori started bouncing around everyone in circles saying the words "HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!" over and over again.
"Niori!!" Legolas siezed the jumping girl by the shoulders, stopping her,"What are you doing?!?! Why are you so excited?!?!?"
"They're elves!!!!" she squealed, "actual elves!!!"
Legolas looked at her strangely, "Niori, I'm an Elf. You've been living in the same house as me for almost two months! You never freaked out when you first met me!"
"Well", Niori explained, calming down a bit,"I never had time to! First we had to hide you all because some one came, and then you were trying to kill Carla, so I didn't have time to freak out. Anyway...you're special!"
As soon as she said that, Niori felt her face go hot from embarassment, and from behind them, Jane burst out laughing. "SHUT-UP!" They both shouted angrily.
Everyone was silent. "Come," Haldir spoke, sending an odd glance where Legolas and Niori stood. "...There is an outpost used by my people ahead, you shall accompany us there."
Without saying anything, the fellowship, the band of elves, and the girls walked.
***************************************************************
They arrived at the outpost late in the night. The hobbits and four girls were tired from walking so far. "You can come no further," Haldir said, turning around and looking at them.
"What?!" Jane cried, looking shocked. They had just walked for many hours just to be told they couldn't go any further.
"You bring great evil here," Haldir turned his icy glare on Frodo.
Everyone was silent. Silently, they all turned to look at Frodo. The small hobbit looked to the ground, almost in shame. Aragorn stepped forward and spoke quietly to Haldir in elvish. The two started arguing and the others all drifted off into their own worlds. The hobbits all sat in a group, Erin and Boromir among them. Jane sat with her back propped up against a tree, sleeping. Carla sat cross-legged on the ground, looking around. Gimli stood by himself, and Niori and Legolas were off by themselves, Legolas standing and Niori sitting against a tree. The loud argument between Aragorn and Haldir reached all their ears. It was really starting to annoy Niori that she couldn't understand a word Aragorn or Haldir were saying. "You seriously have to teach me Elvish," Niori looked up at Legolas from her seat on the ground.
"Why?" he asked, giving her the same odd look he had given her earlier.
"Because it bugs the hell out of me when I can't understand what people around me say! It just annoys me!"
Legolas gave a small laugh and shook his head. "You just can't stand it when you don't know what's going on, can you?"
"No, actually I can't," Niori laughed, "but that's beside the point! So will you please teach me Elvish?!?! PLEEEEEASE?!?"
"Yes, Niori," he said with another laugh, "I'll teach you to speak Elvish if we have time, but only if you stop complaining!"
"Oh, shut-up!" Niori punched him on the leg playfully," you're one to talk! Mister Carla-if-you-touch-my-bow-I'll-shoot-you!" Legolas smirked.
From behind them all, the arguing between Haldir and Aragorn stopped. Haldir looked harshly at the rest of the group. "Come with me," Haldir's voice was harsh sounding,"but first you must be blindfolded."
***************************************************************
"I'm not wearing the god damn blind fold!" Carla screamed, angrily.
"You have to!" Haldir cried.
"No we don't!" Niori cried, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Oh my god!" Jane moaned.
"We're going to be here awhile," Erin muttered, shaking her head.
"You have to wear the blind folds!"
"NO!" Niori and Carla cried in unison.
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"For christ's sake, NO!"
"Haldir," Legolas sighed, glaring at the two girls and walking towards the other elf, "Give up. These two will never yield, they're too stuborn!"
"Shut up!" Niori cried, glaring at Legolas.
"It's true!" he fired back.
"Shut your big elvish mouth before I have to hurt you!"
"Why don't you just do as he asks before I have to hurt you!" Legolas glared at her.
"This is better than a soap-opera" Jane commented, "Anyone got some popcorn?"
Erin let out a laugh, "and this week on "Middle-Earth, the soap-opera," she laughed again, "Niori and Legolas go at it.....again!"
"Shut up!" Niori and Legolas cried angrily.
"I'm still not wearing the damn blind fold," Carla muttered to herself.
"Yes you must!" Haldir cried, "You may not see the pathway that leads to Lothlorien!"
"no!"
"yes!"
"Would you two," Legolas said through gritted teeth, "Please just wear the blind folds! I would wish to leave sometime before the next age!"
"Fine!" Niori cried, "Happy elf-boy!? I'll wear the stupid blind fold, but you owe me one!"
"Niori!" Carla cried, glaring at her cousin, "You just agreed to make us wear the blind folds for.......him?!" she pointed angrily at Legolas.
"Oh shut up!" Niori cried, kicking a nearby tree.
***************************************************************
Erin felt the blind fold over her eyes and the hands of an elf on her shoulders, leading her. Frodo walked beside her. "Frodo," Erin said.
"How are you doing?" Frodo asked.
Erin put her hand on her stomach. "I'm alright, I can't wait to have our baby," she said, softly.
"And I can't wait to be a father," said Frodo.
He reached his hand out and held it to Erin's stomach. Erin smiled as she put her hand on his and caressed it. "I love you," Erin said, smiling.
Frodo was about to reply, but was pushed ahead. He turned his head. "I love you...." he started, but was cut off by a voice in his head.
"Frodo?" Erin said, confused.
There was no reply. Erin started panicking. "Frodo!" she screamed.
"I'm alright," Frodo finally answered, but deep down, he was frightened.
Erin sighed. "Ouf!" Someone said, as they banged into Erin and knocked her to the ground.
"Ow!" Erin cried.
"you OK, Erin?" Frodo asked, worried.
"I'm fine, but what the hell was that?" Erin asked.
There was a nervous laugh, "Sorry, I tripped over a rock," said a voice.
Erin noticed it as Merry's. "It Ok Merry, are you alright?" Erin asked, amused.
"Fine, but someone help me up?" Merry said.
He reached out to grab something and accidentally grabbed Erin's breast. Erin screamed as a tingling sensation mixed with pain went over her body. Merry knew what he did, and mumbled a "sorry" and was pulled up by an elf and then Erin was on her feet also. She breathed deeply as Merry sppologized numerous of times. "What happened?" Frodo asked, curiously.
No one replied. Legolas, who took off his blind fold, without Niori noticing, saw the whole incident and smirked, he shook his head. "We are close," he said now.
