-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where are we?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey, where are we, and why are you wearing that!" Andrew exclaimed while looking at a being with long blonde hair. He had two other long brown haired beings with him, and one other brown haired being.
"You are in a forest out-side of Rivendell, my-lord, and I should ask you the same question." the blonde haired being replied.
I stared dumb-foundedly at the blonde haired being, I could not make out anything, I finally got my voice back and spoke up. "You, you, are Prince Legolas Greenleaf, of Mirkwood." I replied.
"Aye, my-lady, and you are?" he asked.
"I am Kimberly Hagood, I am from the United States. This is my sister, Amber, and this is my friend Andrew Myers." I replied.
"Do you know those people?" Andrew exclaimed.
"No, I mean, yes. Well, two of them. That is King Aragorn...," I started until Aragorn put his hand up to my mouth. "Shh, do not speak of this here." he replied.
I nodded. "Andrew, come here." I whispered. "Exscuse us...,"
"Um, Andrew, you know those books...," I asked.
"What, these?" he asked while pulling the books out of his bag that he had.
I picked up my bag and put the three books in it. "He's the elf on the back of it!" I exclaimed.
"Oh, well why is he in Tennessee, and why is he calling this place Rivendell?" Andrew asked.
"Because, we're not in Tennessee you idiot! We're in Rivendell!" I exclaimed louder than I should have causing the four to stare at me.
"So, why have you come here?" Legolas asked.
"I do not know why, nor how we got here. All I know is that we are here!" I exclaimed.
"How do you know our names, we have surely not heard of 'Tennessee' or the 'United States'." Legolas asked.
I could not find the words to explain, so I just shrugged. "I have read about you in a book, seen you in a movie...," I explained, "..., Except for those two." I said while pointing at the two un-known figures.
"I am Prince Elladan of Rivendell, at your service my-lady." one of them bowed.
"And I am his younger twin, Prince Elrohir." He aslo bowed. "I am also at your service."
"The sons of Elrond?" I asked.
"Aye." The two replied while looking up.
"It is nice to meet you." I replied.
"Would you like to come with us to Rivendell? We are late for our arrival, I have a feeling that Elrond will kill us." Legolas offered. Now was their time to be exscused.
"What do you mean? They can't come with us! We don't know who they are!" Aragorn yelled.
"But they need help, they do not look well. We can atleast have them to go back with us and let the Lord Elrond look at them." Legolas replied.
"I do not know if that is such a good idea. Do you think that they have weapons?" Elladan asked.
"They do not look like the type that carries a weapon where-ever they go. I am sure that they will be allight. Anyway, there are four of us, three of them, we will surely have the advantage if they have weapons." Legolas stated.
"Alright, remember it was your idea." Elrohir replied while the four walked over to us.
"Come along, we are going to have the healers look after you in our home." Legolas said.
"We are fine." I replied.
"You do not look it, your leg is swollen at that, your arm, and the young-gentleman looks like he has a swollen shoulder. Come along." the blonde replied while picking me up and carrying me to his horse, he then placed me on it.
"I can walk on my own." I responded, although I knew I could not.
"I am sure you can." He replied. "You two can ride on Elrohir's horse, for he will be riding with Elladan."
"But, I have had no intensions of riding with...," Elrohir started before he recieved a stern look from Legolas. "Of course. That is what I have been planning on doing for quite some time." Elrohir said as he mounted the horse after his twin.
"Well, I suppose that we shall be on our way." Legolas said while mounting his horse after me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Where have you been! We have been expecting you for hours, the king has already sent word that you should be sent to the homely houses upon arrival." Glorifindel exclaimed not noticing the three extra ones that they brought with them.
"We are coming, do not worry, I want him to check on my friends first." Legolas said while motioning at the three.
"Ah, your friends, I am sure that he would not mind this." Glorifinel replied while looking at the three. They did not look like they were from around here, especially the red-headed boy, but he did not know.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elrond entered the homely house, he saw that the four was in their like he asked, but he could not see them all. "I see that you have decided to make your appearance, who is hurt?" he asked while walking over to them.
"None of us is terribly injured as usual, we have some friends who need your care more than us." Legolas replied.
"Where did you find them?" he asked while getting straight to work on the three.
"They were in the forests. They said that they were from Tennessee, in the United States. The ladies look like they could be from an Elvish Realm, except for their clothes, but I do not know about the gentleman." Legolas said while pointing them out.
"What has happened to them?" Elrond asked.
"She has a sprained ankle I do believe, the other young lady has a broken arm, and the young man a broken shoulder." Estel said.
"Aye, your calculations are correct as always, ion-nin." he replied.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Elladan, do not fight me, I am you Ada, and I demand you to sit still!" Elrond said. He was trying to stitch his son's wound that he had some how gotten on his journey.
"I told you, I do not need stitches, it is a little gash!" Elladan winced as the stitch went into his arm.
"Would you rather, bleed to death, or let me do such a little operation so you won't die?" Elrond asked while looking at his son.
"Do I have a choice?" Elladan asked.
Elrond rolled his eyes then finished up with Elladan, "Now who have you voted to go next?" They had 'voluntered' Elrohir to go first, then Elladan, now was some one else's.
"Legolas." Aragorn called out before Legolas could say anything.
"Aye, Legolas, I would have much rather preffered you going first, you do not looks as well as the others." Elrond replied while watching the elf cringe.
"Come on." Elrond sighed, he wanted to get this over with. "Tell me where your hurt." he replied after Legolas sat on one of the beds in the homely house.
"My leg, my arm, my head, my shoulder, and a few ribs." Legolas replied he was too tired to keep anything from Elrond, and he wanted to desprately go to bed.
"Well, it is a good thing that you have not slept." Elrond said while examining the elf's head.
"Why?" Legolas winced.
"You have a concussion, if you fell asleep, then I do not know that you would have awoken." Elrond stated. "I would like to know how you have sustained this."
"Long story...," Legolas winced as Elrond put pressure on the wound on his head.
"I feel that we have time, before you have to rest anyway." Elrond replied while still putting pressure on the wound.
"Estel, would you like to tell the tale? I have a feeling that I can not stay awake much longer with this pain." Legolas winced.
"Aye, I shall tell it." Estel replied. "We were on our way back and we got attacked by wargs and orcs, we have sustained little, to no injuries, a orc hit Legolas in the head with his spiked club."
"Aye, it looks like you have had quite a time with it, it is deep and still bleeding." Elrond replied. "Estel, would you hand me a cloth please?"
Estel handed a cloth to his father. "I tried to tend to it as best as I could, but it would just not stop the bleeding, we made sure that he was still awake, even when we took our rest, one of us would stay up with him."
"Aye, you did the best that you could do, and it was good that you did not allow him to sleep." Elrond replied while stitching the wound on Legolas' head. "Now where else did you say?"
"My leg, and a few ribs." Legolas responded. "That is all."
Elrond then touched the elf's shoulder and ankle, which caused him to wince and gasp. "What did you do THAT for?" he asked while grasping onto his shoulder.
"I knew there was something else, you are not a good liar." he replied while starting to check the elf's shoulder. "You have a dislocated shoulder, and some scratches and bruises on your arm." he then checked the elf's ribs. Every breath caused a stinging pain to go up the elf's lungs, he started to feel cold, and he shuddered.
"You have three broken ribs, and two bruised ones, they shall heal in time, luckily none of them has injured your lungs." he then noticed the shiver that Legolas was trying to hide. "Are you cold pen-neth?" he asked while touching the elf's forehead to check for a fever.
"Aye, but I shall live." Legolas said shakily.
"Elladan, fetch me some blankets would you please?" Elrond asked his eldest son. "You have a fever. Probably from the blood loss." he aquired then looked down at the elf's leg. "Your leg is swollen, and your ankle is lightly harmed but it should heal soon."
"I need to relocate your arm, are you ready penneth?" Elrond asked.
Legolas nodded while lying down on his bed. "Do it when ever." he replied.
Elrond nodded at his three sons and watched them grasp Legolas by his arms. Without warning, he then pulled Legolas' arm back until it popped. Legolas who was letting out moans and crys of pain in the process, had fallen asleep during the beginning of the 'operation'. "Well, atleast he is out, now Estel it is your turn." Elrond checked his younger son, finding only a few cuts and minor bruises, he was sastisfied and sent his son's to bed. He then awaited their awakening, and their three friends awakening as well...,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mmm, five more minutes mom, please!" Amber groaned while rolling over in her bed.
"I am not your momma, so leave me alone I am trying to sleep!" Andrew exclaimed.
"Shut-up Andrew, would you please be quite?" I exclaimed while opening my eyes to find myself in a white room, although it was rather lovely, it was not home, nor the fellowship hall. "Uh, guys, wake-up." Amber and Andrew opened their eyes and looked around.
"I must still be dreaming! Pinch me." Andrew said.
I, taking the advantage of the moment to inflict pain upon my friend, reached over and pinched him. "Oww! What was that for?" he asked.
"You told me too." I whispered. Just then five beings walked in, four that I knew of from the other day, and one that I had not yet met. "Hello, good-morning!" I exclaimed.
"Morning? You have slept past that. I do not know if you were unconcious, or just simply sleeping." The un-identified being responded.
"I do not know either, we normally sleep this long anyway." I replied. I noticed that I had not yet gotten off my bed, neither had my sister or friend. "Hello, I am..," I started to stand but wobbled. Just then Legolas and Aragorn grabbed hold of me and placed me back on my bed.
"Do not try to stand yet, you have broken a leg, but it should heal in time." the un-identified being stated.
"Allright, I am Kimberly Hagood, from the United States." I replied while smiling. "And this is my sister Amber, and my friend Andrew."
"I am King Elrond of Rivendell, how are you fairing?" he asked us.
"I am hungry." Andrew said aloud.
"Your stomach gave you away my friend, I am refferring to your injuries." Elrond replied.
"I think that it was Estel's stomach father, but between all the grumbling, you never know." Elladan replied.
"We are fine." I replied while smiling at Legolas. "It looks like I should ask you the same question."
"Long story." Legolas replied while looking down at me and flashing a smile. "Well, should we go to the dining hall for breakfast, or should we just eat in our rooms?"
"The dining hall would be fine." I replied.
"Anything's good with me." Andrew and Amber said.
"Allright the dining hall it is then, follow me." Legolas said while helping me stand and walking us to the dining hall.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I gasped at the beautifal sight. It was a very lovely tan room, filled with flowers and beautifal pictures of a family. In the center of the room was a long dining table that could hold about two hundread people if there was that many there.
"Um, do you guys have this many brothers and sisters?" I asked.
"No, of course not, we use this in case of partys, and social dinners, my only daughter should be down in a moment though." Elrond replied. Just then someone entered into the grand dining hall after Legolas had helped me to get into my seat. "I am already here."
All of us turned to see an elven maiden walk over to the table. "Wow." Andrew said recieving a look from Aragorn that said, 'Stay away, she's mine.'
"Hello, I am Arwen Undomiel, daughter of Lord Elrond if it pleases you." She said while curtsying, "Ada, I did not know that we were having company." she said while taking a seat beside Aragorn.
"Nor did I 'till yesterday." Elrond replied while lastly taking his seat at the table.
Just then several people began to come out with trays of food such as, lembas, a bowl of honey, and some oatmeal.
"Wow...," I said. My mouth began to water, this food looked good, and we were very hungry. "This, this, this is amazing!" I exclaimed. The elves laughed at our sudden gestures, just then Aragorn's stomach growled. This causing the elves to laugh even more, while us four looked at them in wonder.
"Do not worry my friends, you can eat." Elrond replied.
We then started to grab different items, Legolas and a grabbed a peice of lembas and each put some honey on it. We then grabbed a bowl of oatmeal.
Elrond had cups poured full of some grape juice from the palace gardens at our table. He then looked at the four hungry humans and the elves that surronded them. "You may eat." he replied. We then all began to dig in to the food.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That was so good, thank-ya." Andrew said while getting up from the table.
After we had eaten all the other food, the chefs brought out some fruit pastries, they were delicious!
"Yes, it was, thanks." I replied while staying in my seat. I could not move because of my leg, without the help of others, so what else was I to do?
Amber arose and nodded her thanks while her and Andrew was about to leave. The elves and Aragorn looked at us in amazement. "Where are you going?" Elrond asked.
"To our rooms, breakfast was wonderful, but I would like to get cleaned up." Amber replied.
"Me too." Andrew replied while they turned again.
"Have a seat, we have one more thing for you." he replied.
The two took their seats and they stared at the elven lord.
"Whad-ya want?" Andrew asked.
"Exscuse me?" Elrond asked.
"He means, 'What do you want?' " I replied while nudging Andrew in the ribs with my elbow.
"Oh, right, my sons we're wondering if you would like to go down to the river with them today, and my daughter was wondering if you could go and help her pick berries and herbs from the garden." Elrond aquired. "Except for you." he said while pointing at me.
"Me? What did I do?" I asked while looking at Elrond.
"You will be spending the day with Glorifindel and Erestor." Elrond replied while pointing at the two who just came into the room.
"Why?" I asked.
"For you have a wounded leg, so you shall not be going any where." Elrond replied.
"Well, we can go to the river another day, right?" Legolas asked. The three nodded.
"Do not do this on my account. We can go swimming another day, I am sure that I shall have lots of fun with Erestor and Glorifindel." I replied while smiling at the two elves.
"See, she want's us to go!" Andrew protested.
"Aye, if that is what you want." Legolas said, and the five set off for the river. Arwen and Amber also left, leaving me with the two elves. "Hi." I said at the two's mischevious looking smiles.
"Hello. Trust me, you will have fun today." Glorifindel replied. "Won't she Erestor?"
"Aye, she will. Come along." the two then led me to some room...,
