----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Good-morning Erestor, Glorifindel. Have you had a good night's rest?" Elrond asked. Glorifindel and Erestor sat down at the dining room table.
"Aye. How about you?" Glorifindel asked.
"I have been well, Erestor?" Elrond asked.
"I have always had a good night's rest in Rivendell." Erestor replied.
"Except for when you are in the homely houses." Elladan quipped. The four friends had walked down to the dining hall, and they were now taking their seats.
"How have your nights been? Seeing as all of you are injured in some way." Erestor asked.
"I, Elrohir, and Estel are almost as good as new. Our nights have been wonderful! How about you?" Elladan asked while looking at Legolas who still had his arm in a sling.
"They have been fine. My arm is almost completely healed, and I shall soon be able to take it out of the sling." Legolas replied. None of them believed him, he looked like he was about to fall asleep right there. Estel especially did not believe him, for he knew what pain his friend was still in. He had woke him up for the past few nights with cries of pain. He had tried to give him a sleeping herb, or even a herb to dull the pain, but being the stubborn elf he was, refused all his attempts to help.
"Legolas, that is not what you have been telling me for the past few nights." Aragorn replied.
"Does your arm still hurt that bad?" Elrond asked while standing up and walking over to the place that Legolas was sitting.
"No. It doesn't hurt that bad." Legolas lied. He hoped that Elrond would not touch his arm. He really hoped that he wouldn't do what he did next, but that was not what happened.
Elrond began to prod at the blue arm. "Are you sure?" He asked.
Legolas winced when the Lord Elrond touched his arm. "Aye, I am sure. It is not bothering me that much." Legolas replied.
Elrond nodded. He would be giving the elf some sleeping herbs this eve, and probably Kimberly, after Glorifindel and Erestor had another day with her.
"Good morning!" I replied while limping into the dining hall with the help of my sister and friend.
"I see that you have finally for once awoke before noon. Good-morning." Elrond replied.
"Well when you have someone coming into your room early in the morning telling you that you shouldn't sleep all day, then you would be awake too." Andrew replied while him and Amber shot me evil looks.
"Attended I hope." Elrond replied while also shooting me a death glare.
"No she didn't come in attended. She came in unattended, all by herself! She's stubborn." Andrew replied while taking a seat beside Elladan. Amber didn't say nothing but slipped into a seat beside Haldir.
Elrond stared at me, "And why did you go in unattended. You know that you can not walk."
"I..., uh..., didn't want to bother anyone." I replied. I didn't know why I didn't want to ask anyone. "I guess the real reason is that I am fine, and I don't need any help!" I thought.
"Don't give me the 'I didn't want to bother anyone.' I know that all too well, I also know that you are not fine and if you ever think that again, and act so foolishly than you shall be in the homely houses for several months to a year, not being able to walk for your foolishness. Is that understood?" Elrond asked while sternly looking at me.
I nodded. "How did he know that? Did I say it out loud?"
"No Kimberly, you did not say it out loud, and I have my ways." Elrond replied. I could almost see a smile in his stern face. "How did you three sleep last night?"
"Well, I slept well 'till that thang came in, jumped on me, and wrastled with me 'till I woke up." Andrew said while looking at me.
I then recieved another 'Elrond look.' I shrinked back in my seat. Something about his stare made me fill like I was in trouble with my father or something, and I did something terribly wrong. I was afraid of him, especially when he gave the 'Elrond-look' to me, like he does to Pippin in the movie.
"Right, and how was your night Amber?" Elrond asked.
"Well, 'till that thang came in and jumped on that thang, and started to wrastle with him. Then that thang screamed so I jumped on 'em, and began to wraste with 'em, but other than that good." Amber replied.
"Right." Elrond replied. "What does your day hold Amber?"
"Arwen and I are going to the fields again to pick more berries, and some flowers and herbs. The cooks are packing us a picninc lunch." Amber replied.
"You could come if you like Haldir." Arwen said while taking a bite of her egg.
"Why would he want to go with two girls, when he could go hunting with the guys?" Elladan asked. Elrond shot him an 'Elrond-look'. "Don't worry, Legolas is not using his arm. We are actually just taking him along for company."
"How does Legolas feel about this?" Elrond asked.
"I won't use my arm that much." Legolas responded. He recieved a look from Elrond. "I won't use my arm unless I have too."
Elrond nodded in satisfaction. "I suppose that you will be bringing some medical supplies. Bandages, herbs, just in case."
"Yes." Elladan replied. "So, what do you say Haldir?"
"I say...," Haldir started. "..., What time do we leave?"
"As soon as we are thru eating breakfast, and pack up our supplies." Elladan replied.
"And what does your day hold Kimberly?" Elrond asked. "Since you will be spending the day with Elrohir and Glorifindel." I looked at the two smiling faces.
"What did I ever do to deserve this?" I asked.
"You are wounded, and you do not need to go to far away from the palace." Elrond said.
"Probably something to do with the dark, a tunnel, falling, getting lost, and eventually I end up in the healing wing." I replied.
"I am sure that it will not be that bad." Elrond replied staring at the two.
"We promise to show her the best of times today, isn't that right Erestor?" Glorifindel replied while smiling at Erestor.
"Of course that is right Glorifindel." Erestor smiled.
"It better be." Elrond replied. "See, they said that it wouldn't have anything to do with that."
"You can't tell with those two. The troublesome two." I murmered. The elves began to laugh at me.
"What do you mean the 'Troublesome Two of Arda?' Did you hear that Erestor?" Glorifindel asked.
"Aye." Erestor replied.
"The 'Troublesome Two of Arda?' Since when did you two become that?" Elladan asked.
"Well your the 'Prankster Princes'." Glorifindel replied.
" 'Prankster Princes?' Since when did they have that name?" Aragorn asked.
"When you two got the 'Two that makes mischeif in the healing wings." Glorifindel replied.
"Is that true?" Legolas yelled.
"Be silenced!" Elrond yelled. Everyone then was silent and stared at the elven Lord. "This is breakfast and I do not want it interrupted by some silly nicknames! Now eat your breakfast before it get's cold!"
Dinner was completed in silence and we then looked around. "Well let's go pack for the hunting trip, shall we?" Elladan asked. The five nodded and they then left the table.
"Amber, let's go see if the cooks have our lunch ready, then we shall be on our way." Arwen said.
"All right. That's fine with me. See-ya later, and Kimmy, Good-luck." Amber said while leaving with Arwen. Glorifindel and Erestor left when the others left to get ready for the hunting trip.
"So, will you be fine with Glorifindel and Erestor today? If not then you can spend the day with me, or some of the others." Elrond replied while looking at me.
"I am sure that I will be fine with those two." I replied. "Wait, what am I saying? I don't want to end up getting hurt again!"
"I am sure that you will not regret it." Elrond replied while walking to the healing wings. He thought that I would regret it, so he decided to get the healing wings, herbs, and bandages ready for anything.
"Then why am I sure that I will?" I asked myself. I got up and limped up the stairs.
"You may want to change into some leggings for today! We're riding horses!" Glorifindel yelled.
"Horses?" I asked, but Glorifindel was already gone. "Horses? Where can I find leggings?"
"On your bed, I assume."
I turned to see the crystal blue eyes of the elf that could make me melt in whatever he did, Legolas. "On my bed? Why would they be there? I don't own any leggings." I replied.
"Well, you do now. We had the maids to bring up some clothes for you and your sister, some for each occasion. We had a servant send some clothes up for your friend as well." Legolas replied.
"I appreciate that." I replied while walking in my room. Legolas stood at the door, and I looked at him. "You know you can come in." I replied. "It's rude just to stay outside."
"It's inappropriate for me to walk in your room, with out us being married you know." Legolas replied.
"We're not gonna do anything! It's rude to stay outside when someone asks you to come in." I replied.
"In this case, it's inappropriate to come in!" Legolas argued.
"Legolas! For the time that our 'guests' are with us, then you can go in!" Elrond said. "You don't want to be rude! That is not our way! What would your father say?" Elrond said. Since Legolas and Elrond had good hearing they could hear each other on different floors of the house, but I did not know this.
"Well he would be disppointed if I went into her room!" Legolas griped.
"Who would be dissapointed?" I asked. This elf was starting to really creep me out!
"He would be also dissapointed if you did not follow by the lady's wishes, and you are being rude!" Elrond replied.
"He would be very upset with us!" Legolas replied.
"We haven't done anything! I hope your not talking about what I think your talking about, because I have no intentions of doing that right now." I replied.
"Does your father have to know everything?" Elrond asked.
"He would find out!" Legolas yelled.
"Of course he would find out! In a few months everyone would find out! Then what would he say, and do?" I asked.
"Not unless you tell him." Elrond replied. "And if he did find out what would he do to us?"
"He'd send us away, never to be seen again! He would be very dissapointed. Or worse, he'd kill us!" Legolas yelled.
"Well my father would be killing you! Skip the sending away part!" I replied. "What would you say about that?"
"He could not send me away, I am the Elven Lord of Rivendell! We are best friends." Elrond replied.
"You wanna bet? How long do you think that will last?" Legolas asked.
"Are you an idiot? Nine months! Then it would hopefully live for the rest of it's life!" I replied.
"I will take all the blame. Your father will not have to know what we've discussed." Elrond replied.
"You can not take all the blame! The twins will know! And they'll tell Estel!" Legolas replied.
"Of course I wouldn't take all the blame! Someone would have to account for this! And, No one would have to tell Estel. In a few months everyone would know! You don't have to tell no one! The people in Rohan would even know!" I replied.
"The twins will not know if you do not tell them, allright?" Elrond asked.
"Allright." Legolas replied.
"And you will go in the room?" Elrond asked.
"I will." Legolas replied while walking in the room and over to the bed that I was standing by.
"You will not!" I yelled while slapping his face.
"Huh?" Legolas asked. Elrond, who heard Legolas' 'huh', rushed up to the room.
"I gave him a herb last night, and the effects have not worn off. Please exscuse him." Elrond said while leaving.
"I don't even want to know!" I replied while looking at my bed. There, I saw some grey leggings, and a light blue tunic. Then there was a cloak that was hanging on my closet that was dark blue. "These are beautifal!" I explained.
"If you think that this is beautifal, go and look in your closet and the dwares." I opened the door to the closet and saw many gowns, shirts, and more leggings, as well as some cloaks. Each one captured some sort of beauty. "Wow." I replied.
"In your dwares are some night gowns." Legolas replied.
"Thanks. I, uh, I'm gonna go get changed into these. I'll be right back." I replied while walking into my bathroom and closed the door.
"I'll be outside." Legolas replied. "It's inappropriate to be in here, while your changing."
"Don't be silly! I'm in the restroom!" I yelled.
"Allright." Legolas replied. He then walked over to the balcony and stepped out on it.
"I don't know if this is the way it goes or not!" I yelled.
"I'm sure that you'll look fine!" Legolas yelled.
"Don't laugh!" I yelled.
"I won't!" Legolas replied.
I soon come out. I had on the tunic and the leggings. My long, brown, hair ran down to my midsection. While I was in the bathroom, I re-wrapped the athelas around my midsection.
"I have almost forgotten." Legolas pulled out some boots. "Put these on, and what are you doing with your hair?"
"I like yours." I replied.
"I can do it that way if you wish." Legolas said.
I put on the boots, and sat down at the vanity while Legolas fixed my hair in the 'war-braids.' "Thanks." I replied. "It is beautifal!"
"I wouldn't use those words on mine, but you can use it on yours." Legolas said.
"Me and my friends don't use that word for your hair either." I replied.
"Right." Legolas smiled. "Shall I show you out?" Legolas asked.
"That would be good." I replied.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If you think I'm wearing tights, then your stupid!" Andrew replied.
"Andrew. That is all you got, and I don't think you should go nude." Amber said. She had on the tunic, not knowing that she was supposed to wear the leggings with them. She thought that the tunic looked like a mini dress because she was short.
"Uh, both of you should put on the leggings."
Amber turned to see Haldir. "Haldir, why are you wearing a dress?"
"It's not a dress. It's a shirt. That is what your wearing." Haldir replied. "See your legs, your legs are...," Haldir started. "Your legs are beside the point! Your wearing a shirt, and that's all!"
"Uh-oh, he's hittin' on ya." Andrew whsipered. Amber hit him.
"Oh, then I'll be right back." Amber then ran to her room to put on some leggings, and the boots.
"And you should wear them." Haldir said.
"Why?" Andrew said.
"Because. It's not good to go out the way you are right now." Haldir replied while leaving.
"Well, I guess I gotta do what I gotta do." Andrew said while putting on his leggings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legolas, Elladan, Elrohir, Haldir, Estel, Arwen, Erestor, Glorifindel, and I were waiting for Amber and Andrew to come down.
"What is taking them so long?" I asked.
"Who knows." Haldir replied.
"Can we just go ahead and go?" Glorifindel asked.
"I guess." I replied.
"Come on Erestor, let's help her to the stables." Glorifindel replied.
"Amber, you can't get me to come down and that's final!" Andrew yelled.
"You know if you don't come down then you can't see Arwen, and you know that you wanna see her!" Amber yelled.
Arwen giggled delightfully, and
"Haldir, can you help us please?" Amber asked.
"Be right back." Haldir replied. He made it to the top of the stairs then laughed. "Uh, Kimberly can you come up here, alone?"
"Uh, not really!" I replied.
"Well can Legolas help you up then?" Haldir laughed.
"I guess." I replied. We then started up the stairs. I about fell down in shock at the sight I saw. "Andrew! What has happened to you?"
"Why do you and Amber look better in your leggings and tunics then I do?" Andrew yelled.
"Because one: You don't have your tunic on right. Two: You don't have your leggings all the way up, and Three: You don't have on your boots." Legolas replied. Andrew had his leggings at his ankles.
"They wouldn't stay up! Gosh!" Andrew replied while holding his leggings up.
"It is called a belt." Legolas replied. "Even they are wearing leather belts." Legolas said.
Andrew made his way back up to his room with Haldir and Legolas. They soon returned, Andrew finally looking better, then we went down the stairs.
"Are you ready?" Glorifindel asked while grabbing my arm and rushing me out of the door.
"I guess I don't have a choice do I?" I asked.
"No." Erestor replied.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Haslin, down." Glorifindel replied. He then walked me over to the horse. "Get on."
"What?" I asked. "I can't get on a horse with a broken leg." I replied.
Glorifindel picked me up and put me on the horse. "Will you be able to stay up?" he asked.
"I should be, why?" I asked.
"From where you had those broken ribs, and your bruises." Glorifindel replied. "And your herbs for the cold?"
"I haven't took those yet!" I exclaimed. I then pulled some herbs out of a bag that was prepared for me for our journey today. I put them in my mouth and chewed them. They were really bitter. "Do they have any effects?" I asked after chewing them up and swallowing them.
"You'll be a bit drowsy, but other than that, you should be fine." Erestor replied.
"All right." I replied while we set off.
"She doesn't suspect a thing! I can't believe we're gonna get away with it! She'll have a fit over this after she finds out what happened!" Glorifindel thought while continuing to ride on his horse.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So when are we gonna catch somethin?" Andrew asked.
"If you keep your voice down then we may catch something!" Elrohir argued.
Andrew rolled his eyes while carrying his bow rather oddly. Aragorn was behind him, and watched Andrew jump at the littlest noise.
Haldir rolled his eyes, he was sure that he would have had more fun with Amber and Arwen. He sighed and continued on after Elladan.
Legolas was behind the group complaining to himself. The twins and Estel had tricked him in leaving his weapons behind. He was so angry.
Estel smiled while looking back at his friend. He was still complaining as he walked behind them holding his arm. He could tell that Legolas was in pain, but he would give him a herb as soon as they stopped for a break.
Andrew sighed while smiling. He planned on catching a deer today! He wondered if Amber and Kim's day was as good as his.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amber grumbled while walking behind Arwen. She wished that Haldir would have come with her. She sighed while leaning down and picking some athelas.
Arwen turned and saw her friend. "Amber, what is wrong with you?" She asked while walking over to Amber.
"Nothing." Amber replied while grabbing a handful of the althelas.
"If 'nothing' has to do with Haldir, then it's something." Arwen replied while getting in the floor beside Amber.
"How did you know?"
"I can see it on your face. The way that you look at him, it's the same way I looked at Aragorn the first time I met him." She replied while smiling, and blushing.
Amber smiled, she wondered if Andrew and Kim's day was turning out good.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I looked at Glorfindel and Erestor. I was really sleepy, and in pain. "Uh, guys, were are we goin'?"
"We'll be there soon." Glorfindel replied. "If we speed up." He then kicked his horse and rode off faster.
Erestor smiled and followed. "Come on Kimberly!" He called behind him.
"Allright, I can do this, I used to ride horses all the time!" I said while kicking my horse to go faster. "I hope that they are having more fun than me." I whispered while continuing on after the two.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aragorn had given Legolas some herbs for him to rest. He could tell that his friend was in pain, bad pain. He looked at Elladan. "Let's be on our way then." He whispered.
Elladan looked at Haldir who was writing in a book that he had. "Are you sure that you will be allright?"
"Aye. I will yell if I need you. Go on, have fun." Haldir smiled while watching them leave. He then looked down at the paper that he had, he was drawing a picture of Amber. He planned on giving it to her when he was through, he only hoped that she would like it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amber and Arwen was sitting down on a blanket looking up at the sky. They had finished their lunches and now was talking.
"Arwen, when did you and Aragorn first meet?" Amber asked.
"Atleast twenty years ago, he was young at the time." Arwen smiled. Then broke out in the tale of her and Aragorn.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Glorfindel and Erestor placed me down beside a tree. "Let's go and hunt. She should be fine."
Erestor smiled and followed Glorfindel into the forests. They planned on getting me lost and seeing if I could make my way back to Rivendell. They would be close in case something did happen..., little did they know, something bad would happen, and they would not be able to prevent it...,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haldir watched Legolas sleep, then turned back to his art work. He looked up when he heard something, he didn't know what it was. He stood up and put his paper in his bag. He picked up his bow and arrow and looked around, what caused that noise? He looked deep into the forests, what he saw there, scared him to death. "Orcs." He whispered.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Glorfindel and Erestor could feel that something wasn't right, they didn't know what it was until it was right on top of them. Orcs. They knocked the two elves unconcious, and bound them. They then began to hunt for more 'pretty-beings' for their master...,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up and looked around, what was going on? Where was Erestor and Glorfindel? I got up and began to wobble toward the palace. This would be the last time I went out with those two! They were probably laughing at me somewhere! I heard noises behind me and I began to back up. Who was following me? Probably those two troublemakers. I backed up a little more, unfortunately I wasn't paying attention, and I felt the ground go out from beneath me. The last thing I remembered was foot prints and then blackness engulfed me.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Amber, hurry, run back to the palace." Arwen said while getting the stuff up. Amber was confused but ran after Arwen in hopes that nothing terrible was happening.
"Valar keep them safe!" Arwen silently prayed while running through the gates of Imladris. She hoped that they would come out alive, especially Amber's two friends...,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haldir jumped up and began to battle with the onslaught of wargs and orcs. He was trying to protect the awakened Legolas, but he decided the only way to do that would be to give him one of his blades. He threw one of the twin blades at Legolas and began to battle. He looked over when he heard a cry of pain, Legolas had been injured in his arm, and now the orcs were battling with the fallen elf. He sighed while fighting the orcs before him. The last thing he remembered before pain and darkness engulfed him was what the orcs said, and Amber's safety which would be in his mind for all of his life...,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This team of orcs smiled at their accomplishment. Two 'prettys' for their master.
"Glamsin! Get these 'prettys' to the others. Master should be pleased." They began to go off to find the other members of their group. Their master would be very pleased with him.
To be continued...,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Orcs are here! Orcs are here! I know, you wanna kill me right? LOL! Uh, sorry I haven't posted in forever! Thanks to: for their fabulous reviews! I hope that you enjoyed! Uh, don't kill me yet!
