PS. Hey, I've had a few ideas and stuff from a friend, but I really just don't know what I want my girl character's name to be. If anyone thinks of one don't hesitate, email me at my email. OR just tell me in your review!
Chapter Three:
Haldir awoke with a start, sitting straight up in the bed, instantly regretting the sudden movement his body had forced him up into when the loud noise had brought him out of his dark sleep. His head was spinning, and he grasped his aching side with a pained expression. He glanced around the room in a state of confusion. Where was he, how had he gotten here, and who had taken him in? His upper clothes had been removed and both his shoulder and side had been bandaged carefully with a thick white cloth.
Haldir brought his legs over the side of the bed, sighing and taking a moment to recover. He saw his boots and the rest of his clothes in front of him sitting against the wall on the ground.
He could hear two sets of feet walking around on wooden floor in the other room busily. One set stopped, and a few moments later a female voice spoke.
"Mother, these flowers are dead, I should go pick some more."
"Just do not go out in your bare feet," a woman instructed. The other female laughed.
"Alright."
Footsteps started in the direction of the room. The girl stopped in the doorway. "Oh, you are awake." She smiled in surprise. She set a blue vase with shriveled purple and white flowers down on a dresser inside the room. As she did so, Haldir looked her over.
She was quite slim, made more noticeable by the way her dress had been tied around the waist. Her hair was past the shoulders, and was a dark, wavy brown, tied back with a blue ribbon to match her dress. Her ears were pointed, her eyes a bright blue; all together she was rather attractive, but Haldir had seen many who were more beautiful.
"How are you feeling?" she asked with concern, walking around the side of the bed. There was a glass pitcher and a mug sitting on a nightstand and she picked them up, pouring some of the clear liquid into the mug slowly. She looked over at him for an answer as she did so.
"I have been better," Haldir replied, watching her, only then realizing how dry is throat was and hearing how scratchy his voice had become.
"Here," she smiled, handing him the mug. Haldir drank the water it contained and handed it back when he was finished.
"Thank you," he sighed. She took it from him and set it back down onto the nightstand. His voice had much improved since the cool fresh water had gone down. "How long have I-"
"Five days," she replied solemnly, leaning against the wall and staring at him. Haldir nodded in thought. A moment of silence passed. She was still staring at him, and it seemed there was a unique curiosity behind the stare. But before he could inquire as to why she stared so, she spoke again. "My name is Katharine, what is yours?"
oOo
A/N I don't' know what to say, I just cannot see Haldir as Craig Parker!
Thanks for all your reviews on chapters one and two everyone! I would especially like to thank The Lady Of light for helping me fix a few things. :o) Lots of smiles. :o) :o)
PS. I just revised the ending, as you can see I cut out the other person and just had her ask him what his name was. Oh, and I will just be calling her Katharine until something better comes along. Hope to hear from someone, bye!
