Title: Shadow Killer?
Disclaimer: I do not own LOTR.
I wake up as Frodo asked if I was an elf. The old guy is about to answer but I cut him off.
"Just cause I sleep with my eyes open doesn't mean I am an elf! I don't always sleep with my eyes open, sometimes they are only half open and others they aren't open at all. Plus, who ever heard of an elf that talks in her sleep? It is completely observe! And to top it off I also walk in my sleep! Though that only happened once…And I didn't really do anything except steal some ham and cheese from my cousin… But then you didn't need to know that… Hi, Brittany!" I say looking at the window where you could see Brittany's head peering in.
"Hey, Leslie. Feeling better?" She asked.
"Yup, I feel tons better…!" I said and then noticed something as Elladan and Ellrohir walked in.
"Hey, Elladan! Hey, Ellrohir! Hey Brit, what are you standing on?" I ask then stick my head out the window.
"Hey, Patricia! What are you doing carrying Brittany like that? Isn't she heavy?" I asked. Everyone just looked at me confused still taking in what I had said about sleeping with my eyes open.
"Yeah, she is heavy. Now can you help me so I can stop carrying her?" Patricia said a bit upset.
"Hmm. Let me think about it……………………………………………………………………..……………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Ah. No wait…………………………………………………………………………..Hmmm. Ok." I said after 10 minutes of silence. Then I grab Brittany by the arms and pull her in with difficulty. Elladan and Ellrohir saw me struggling and decided to help me. Elladan grabbed Patricia and Ellrohir grabbed Brittany who blushed while Patricia just said a simple 'thank you' cheerfully.
"So, Leslie. What's up?" Patricia asked after a moment of silence. I look 'up' then smile at her.
"A pretty ceiling." I say cheerfully knowing very well that that is not what she meant.
"That wasn't what I meant, Leslie." Patricia said sighing.
"I know." I simply said and started to head to the door to leave.
"And where might you be going?" Elrond asked.
"Why?" I ask though I am pretty sure that they don't know what I am talking about.
"Why, what?" The old guy asked.
"Why do you want to know where I am going?" I said as if it were obvious.
"Yoko, you know you can get lost easily…" Patricia said.
"Yup! And getting lost can be fun if you know where to go!" I said cheerfully.
"That made no sense…" Brittany said and Patricia nodded.
"What did you not understand? My meaning was pretty clear." I said confused.
"What she means is. How can you be lost if you know where to go?" Frodo asked confused.
"Well technically it is impossible. But then I could always ask Hushy where I am and then I wouldn't be lost anymore." I said not noticing that I just gave away my secret.
"Who is Hushy?" The old guy asked.
"I think Hushy is the fox that was with them when we met them, Gandalf." Frodo said.
"So that's your name! I was curious of what your name was but I couldn't find the right time to ask!" I said smiling but that outburst made everyone stare at me. But I didn't mind since they were already staring at me to begin with. Plus, with the sudden outburst they might have forgotten about Hushy, I hope. I didn't want them to know I can talk to foxes. There is a long, long, long, long awkward silence and I resist the urge to say that out loud.
"Yeah, anyway, I am not an elf. So yeah. I am going to go for a walk now…." I said then walked away. I smile then remember why I had gone out of my room. So I sneak back to the room and peak in. I mentally sigh in relief as I see Patricia and Brittany there. I turn my gaze to Elrond and Gandalf who are gazing at me as well, I freeze then turn back to Patricia and Brittany who are talking to Frodo then I turn back at Elrond and Gandalf. They are still looking at me I give them a guilty smile and then start to slowly sneak up behind Patricia and Brittany. But Patricia knowing me so well, I don't see how since we have only known each other for a year, turned around quickly.
"HIGGI!" Patricia shouted real loud.
"OH MY GOD, OR VALAR! I DON'T CARE AT THE MOMENT!" I shouted and tried to run out of the room…but sadly I forgot about Elladan and Ellrohir and ended up bumping into them, so instead of running for my life, I ended up knocking Elladan to the floor, me on top of him. I blinked confused then blushed.
"Sorry!" I said real fast and ran out of the room. You could hear a faint 'I am going to get you for that Patty!' This proved that I was already at a long distance since I shouted that at the top of my lungs. If I had been looking at Elladan's face I would have seen a faint blush, but nobody else noticed because as fast as it came it went away.
"That was so embarrassing. I can't believe Patricia did that to me and scared me too." I muttered under my breath hoping no elves were near by.
'Weren't you planning on scaring Patricia?' A voice said in my head said.
'Oh, well yes but I wasn't thinking of embarrassing her, Hushy.' I said.
'How did you know it was me?' The voice said confused.
'Well first of all, I recognize your voice and second, who else do I know that talks to me using her mind?' I answered with a knowing look as Hushy comes out of a corner.
'Good point.' Hushy said and I couldn't help but smile.
'See? I am not completely brainless.' I said with a laugh, Hushy joined in after a few seconds, and I started to walk toward the forest.
'Where are you going?' Hushy asked as soon as she realized that I was walking toward the woods.
'For a walk.' I answer simply.
'In the forest?' Hushy asked confused.
'I can't really explain, but I feel trapped here in Rivendell. Besides I am not going to go far.' I said as I went into the forest.
'It doesn't surprise me; canines sometimes feel trapped when stuck in a place for too long. The Wargs will help you if you ever run into any trouble…Princess.' Hushy said, unfortunately I didn't hear her as I had already started at a run. The trapped feeling was normal to me since even at my own house I felt trapped, I would constantly go to my backyard and run around in circles. Then after half an hour of running I would go back inside and go read a book not ever feeling tired. At school before I met Patricia and Brittany I would spend most of my time doing my work and I had lots of spare time so I read a book. I always read a book, it was my way to escape reality, at first my parents were happy that I read a lot but after 3 years they started to get annoyed, they started to say I was weird and needed to get more friends. Its not that I didn't want any friends, it was just that last time I made friends, well, lets just say that all they do now is throw stuff at me and make fun of me. I don't mind if they aren't my friends anymore because they turned out to be the kind of people that I learned to hate. The ones that judged people by the way they look. And how rotten they treat them depending on how they act. They always acted as if they were Princesses that were spoiled rotten. Even before I had any friends, I always hated to be called a princess or treated like one. Unlike every other girl I didn't think that Princesses had a better life. I think that being a princess means having a lot of pressure in being perfect and to me I would have to be acting and hiding my real self if I was a Princess.
Anyway, back to the present. I was walking around the forest admiring the trees. And completely forgetting what direction I had come from. Yeah, I know, stupid move, but can you blame me? The trees are huge! Anybody would be looking up trying to see how tall they were. I went past a tree that I was pretty sure it would take ten of me holding hands to go all around it. A few foxes and squirrels were scurrying around and I couldn't help but smile.
'Well I guess I should be getting back.' I though and started to look at the ground for any traces that I had left by any chance. Which was stupid cause I couldn't find a single trace that might lead me back to.
'This can not be good.' I thought bitterly as I continued to walk randomly.
'What can't be good?' I heard a male's voice say. I turn around and see a warg that was my size when standing on all four paws.
'Uh…You are a really big...er…What exactly are you? Not to be rude or anything but I have never seen anything like you.' I said hoping I didn't offend him. I got an image in my head of him laughing.
'I am a Warg, and it doesn't surprise me that you don't know what I am since you it has been a long time since you left Middle Earth to live in a safer place. I am Swift Runner, it is great to see you again, Shadow Killer.' He said with a hint of amusement in his voice. I froze at what he called me. I don't remember it but for some reason it just feels…right.
'Ah, you have to have me confused for someone else I can.'t be Shadow Killer.Anyway I have to get going. My friends must be worried about me.' I stuttered and then left at a run. All those years running around in my backyard certainly didn't go to waste but I bet this is the fast I ran in years.
'You can run all you want but you can not escape who you really are.' I heard his voice in my head loud and clear and that scared me. Did he know something I didn't? I closed my eyes tightly hoping that I could block out those words that went through my head like a broken record. But that didn't really work; all it did was cause me to trip.
"Ow…" I said rubbing my nose and getting up slowly but I fell to my knees when I realized that I was back at Rivendell.
'You ok, Leslie?' I heard someone say in my head.
'I'm fine Hushy. Just confused and shocked. I need a bath, I will see you later.' I answered breathless. I get up and head toward my room where I get into the tub, which already has warm water; I will thank whoever got it ready when I realize who the one that got it ready was. Of course, I take my clothes off first, and then enter the tub.
'Shadow Killer? That name seems vaguely familiar.' I think to myself and get out of the tub to get dry and change into a nightgown despite the fact that the sun was still out. I blink as I realize I haven't eaten all day. No breakfast, no lunch, and now no dinner. And yet I am not hungry…How odd. I get on the bed and slowly drift off to sleep.
Fk306: Well that is chapter 3, I think?
Bucky: You can't even remember what chapter you are on? You are so pathetic.
Fk306: I am going to ignore you...
Bucky: I wonder how long that will last.
Fk306: Anyway time for reviews. theycallmemary I am glad you pointed that out. But sadly, I can not change the way I write no matter how much I try, it sorta has become a habit. But I hope that flaw in my writing doesn't stop you from reading it.
Bucky: Don't listen to her. Stop reading. Save your time for a story that is actually good!
Fk306: I told you to stop that!
Bucky: Stop what?
Fk306: BEING MEAN! Anyway, next reviewer.
Bucky: Ok. Michael Jackson Fan This story is not 'good' and Michael Jackson would not like to read it!
Fk306: Bucky, are you trying to get rid of the reviewers?
Bucky: Why yes, yes I am.
Fk306: Someone please remind me not to let him answer reviews… The Great White Emu don't worry. What I don't want you to worry about I won't say cause then that will ruin it for the other readers, hope you don't mind that I am not mentioning what I don't want you to worry about. Oh and I sleep with my eyes open too, I also walk and talk in my sleep. Though the walking only happened once… Anyway, please continue to read and review! .;
Bucky: Don't read and don't review, and I am not just talking to The Great White Emu!
