Yay! I hit the fifty-review mark. I could sing, but I don't want to horrify you.
Sorry I have not updated in forever. Great news! Passed Algebra with flying colors.
Plus I know what I want to do in my story, but I have a bit of writer's block on how to do it. Any tips would be more than appreciated!
Plus, sorry about all the sappy baby stuff.
Sofia B- I totally agree! He's a right bastard isn't he! Thank you.
Crecy- Strong feelings doesn't even start to describe it. I think it's a bit freaky that I have the same feelings towards Legolas as many of my reviewers do. I mean, I practically invented all the dialogue, but I am still ready to bash his head in at any moment. Thank you!
Angela- Thanks for reviewing. I love hearing from new people. You know, I hadn't even thought about that line like that, but now that you mention it, it is rather Aragornish. I can just see him as the storyteller.... (Wink wink). Ps- If you want me to email you with my response could you please tell me your email address? The answers tend to be longer that way.
Michelleb102- Wow. This is an amazing shot of ego you're giving me here. I actually was about to give up and not write, but you reminded me that there are people like you who would much rather hear my ending than the ending their minds might cook up.
Thanks to Neldluva for TONS of help!
THIS IS JUST A TEASER!!!!
Chapter 12
"Eliwen, would you mind putting the cream colored ball gown in that oaken chest? Thank you."
Another of the maids who was helping her pack came up to her rather timidly.
"Excuse me miss, but do you have a specific place for me to put the bath lotions?"
"Yes. Do you mind putting them in the trunk over there?"
"Right away, miss."
"Thank you. I couldn't have packed all of this alone. Are you almost finished?'
A young elf maid piped up. "The last thing to pack was the bath lotions."
And so it was. All the bookshelves were cleared, and the wardrobe was wiped out and dusted. The windows were polished and shut. Niphredil stepped in the bathroom, and saw that all the Lady's personal items were gone.
A sharp cry came from within the bedroom. She picked up her skirts and sprinted towards the huge bed, fearing the worst.
She skidded to a halt and her heart only stopped pounding when she saw that Anor had just woken from his nap.
She got on the bed and crawled over to him, eventually reaching his side. She picked him up and held him tight, whispering comforting words. His cries finally were reduced to hiccups, and his face went from the bright red it had been to a slight pink.
His tear streaked face looked up at her cautiously to make sure that it was really his mother, and then the hiccups stopped.
She looked tenderly at her 3-month-old son. He was becoming more and more recognizable as a person everyday. He was her everything, and they both knew it on some unconscious level.
She picked him up and blew on his belly, which always made him laugh. His tiny stomach shock with joy, and he made the strange cooing noises. Babies were the easiest to entertain. One trick could keep them going for hours.
Just then, Lady Galadriel burst in the now empty chamber. Her hair was very mussed up, which for an elf was a huge sign of distraught or anger. Her steps were heavy and forceful, and her face was one of pure anger and confusion.
She stopped walking when she saw Niphredil and Anor on the bed, both staring at her with wide eyes. Her heart did a double take when she saw Legolas' blue eyes in the face of Anor. That family was some of the most annoying and thickheaded type of elves in all of Middle Earth.

(Knock,Knock, Knock)
A deep voice said," Come in."
Lady Galadriel pushed the doors open, and stood in the doorway, unsure of how to proceed.
"Galadriel, would you like to sit down?"
"Yes Thuranduil. Thank you."
The King stacked some parchments, and cleared his throat." Now, what is it you want to talk to me about?"
"This is about my handmaiden and your son."
Duh Dah Duh!!!!
The suspense is killing you, I know. But I'm so sorry not to have updated. This is pathetic , but what you see here is the only thing I have been able to come up with. Bit of writer's Block I'm afraid. Please contact me with any ideas you might have!
A review would be nice as well.
