A/N: GAH! Bob made me quit writing! Ha he died. : D
After I spilled my guts out to Galadriel she didn't even look surprised. But then again that whole telepathy thing I guess nothing would surprise her. After a long silence she finally spoke,
"I see for one so young you have endured much. The more you have told me the more I have become in my conclusion; you could not have come to our universe or time without someone summoning you. There is no knowledge ever been taught in Middle Earth to conjure up a mortal from another time, thereupon someone from your world is with us; someone who knows you."
I raised an eyebrow. Who the hell would I know that would know how to use magic?
"Um, M'am? Let's say you're right and someone brought me here by 'magic' and all that, why would I be important to them, I'm not that smart, or strong. I sure as heck don't know magic or sorcery or whatever." I threw my hands out to emphasize my point.
Galadriel smiled at me serenely,
"Many find strength when everything they know is lost."
God her indirect, mystical phrases were beginning to piss me off.
I sighed, "M'am, but-,"
Galadriel cut me off,
"Hush! I know no more than you do…"
Liar.
"…Now go, find your sister, she will be looking for you by now."
Oh damn! I had forgotten all about Anna! I quickly excused myself from Lady Galadriel's presence hurried to my talen to find Anna.

"Anna?" I called when I got to our talen, I saw Legolas sitting on a chaise lounge type thing with Anna sitting beside him while he made figure out of a piece of string.
My little sister looked up, "Hi sissy! Guess what, Legolas has been teaching me how to make people out of string!
God bless her innocence. I smiled,
"That's nice, you can show me what you've learned later." I noticed she hadn't gotten dressed yet, "Anna, go get dressed and pack. We're leaving."
Anna rushed out of the room leaving Legolas and me. It now just hit me that I was in the presence of a future king of Mirkwood and one of the characters from my favorite book. Yes I'm slow, I know.
"Why are you leaving? It would not be safe to travel alone." Legolas asked concernedly, breaking me out of my train of thought.
Damn him and his kind consideration for our safety, I thought, annoyed. Couldn't he be less noble and let me go without any questions! Of course he couldn't you blasted freaking twit! That annoying voice in the back of my head that I think might be the conscious I might have had once upon a time but now is reduced to some sort of an old…thing of some sort. Piss off, I retorted angrily.
"What?" Legolas said, his tone rose slightly in startlement.
Haha, the voice said, I waved it away with an annoyed air. "Sorry, wasn't directed at you." I muttered, "Thank you for your kind consideration, umm sir. But what other choice do I have? I'm stuck in a foreign land with no money, no way of leaving and getting back to my home and the only other way out is living off charity like some sort of a bum. I think I'll take the high road," I said, trying to keep my tone even.
If Legolas was surprised he didn't show it. After an uncomfortable silence he spoke, "Would you take the high road if it might cost your sister her life? Would you like her blood on your hands when you could have just swallowed your pride and taken charity for a short period of time? You seem resourceful enough to find work and a home of your own." Legolas also seemed to be fighting back anger.
My shoulders slumped, Idiot! I should've thought of that! I felt like a immature child (I might be onto something there!) I nodded, "Fine I will do it."
Legolas nodded, "Good, please excuse me." He quickly left.
I slumped to where he had been sitting, "God I'm an idiot!" I muttered angrily along with a few curses.

A few days later I was walking along in the gardens of Lothlorien with Anna, as was our daily ritual when she tugged on my sleeve, "Nicky?" She asked timidly.
I looked down at her, "Yes?"
"Do you like Lego?" She asked; she had adopted that nickname for him since 'Legolas' was a really long word for a little girl with a bad lisp.
I raised an eyebrow, "Am I carbon-based?" I asked incredulously.
She looked at me like I had grown two-heads, "Huh?"
I sighed, "I mean I think he's nice-looking and all that but other than that I have admiration but not affection."
Anna stomped her foot impatiently, "SMALL words! SMALL words!" She said slowly.
I laughed, "I think he's hot but I don't 'like', like him."
Anna smiled, satisfied, "Oh."
Suddenly, I tripped over something in the smooth, green turf. I cursed under my breath and bent to examine what I had tripped over, it was the prettiest rock I had ever seen, it was a deep emerald green, slightly transparent with little rainbows streaking across it. "Whoa…" I said in awe, it was oval shaped and about a foot long in length and width, I tapped it gently with my finger a pure note like the sweetest of music ever made emanated softly from the rock. "Nice," I said, if all else failed I could probably get some money out of this thing. Perhaps if we really were going to be stuck here forever it would make a lovely dowry for Anna. Stop thinking like that, I reprimanded myself, we were going leave this place. Maybe.
"Oh wow! That's beautiful!" My little sister said admiringly.
"Yes, quite."
