Devera was dancing around the ward as Alex threw all her stuff into a bright lime green backpack. "What are you so happy about?" Alex grumbled. Her cheerfulness was what woke Alex up 4 hours earlier.
"My brothers are coming to Rivendell" Devera sighed happily.
"Joy" Alex muttered," more elves on happy drugs".
Devera didn't hear her as she pulled Alex out of the medical wing and down the hall, before turning a left, then, right, and then another right. Finally they came to a plain white door. Alex just stared at the plain white door. "Well, I must go and get prepared for my brother's arrival. With that she danced to her room, twirling and hopping as if she was on. "She's nutters" Alex muttered under her breath.
Alex pushed open the door. She didn't take in the beauty of the room; she just flopped onto her bed. To even walk down a few halls was painful, even with Devera's help and a thing like crouches.
She didn't take in the amazing view from her glass-less windows, nor the fine décor. She just flopped on the bed and nearly past out.
A knock was heard and Alex didn't notice at first but by the end she just yelled "Go away". But the knocker took it for an invitation to come in.
The knocker was as pretty blond elf and dark sea blue eyes. She was wearing a pale blue dress and an apron.
"Hello, I am Mara, handmaiden for Arwen. She told me to assist you during your stay" she addressed with a gentle voice. She walked across the room and handed Alex a tray with a pancake looking thing and a small bowl of food, along with a glass of milk. Alex greedily ate it all, as Mara walked through a door that was attached to her room.
"My lady!" Mara yelled.
"What?" Alex called back.
"Your bath is ready, milady" Mara called. Alex picked her crunches up and hopped to the bathroom.
Mara helped her take over her three large bandages, one around her shoulders, one around right leg and a large her ribcage, and the smaller was on the small cuts and bruises.
Alex eased herself into bath as the maid began to wash her hair. Alex didn't tell her to stop; she loved when people washed her own hair. "Mara, please call me Alex" Alex sighed happily. "
Mara nodded at Alex, but didn't say anything. After the water turned ice cold, Alex shooed Mara away to put on a towel before limping to the hospital wing to see if a nurse was in. There was a nurse but it wasn't Devera. She had a small mouth and it was drawn into a thin line. She wrapped Alex's rebandaged her injures and dismissed her. Alex walked back down to her room and got lost only eight times. It was a new record.
When Alex came back, Mara had left a note on the end table by her bed. In curvy writing the e note read:
Alexandra,
I was needed in the kitchen to fix a welcoming dinner for the princes of Mirkwood. Devera requested that you join her at the gate. After were there will be a banquet in there honor. I placed two dresses on your bed. The red one is to greet the royal highnesses; the white one it for tonight. I will help you prepare for the feast, but not for the greeting. Devera will meet you in the medical wing at the hour of the twelve.
-Mara
"Great royalty, just what I need" Alex said to her door. She had pinned up a poster of Orlando Bloom to it, she had found it in her bag. It was a creepy bag, it like always had different stuff in it. Today it was a teen magazine so; Alex now talked to a poster of Mr. Bloom. No she is not insane per say.
Alex grabbed her bag seeing what was in it this time. It had a red halter top and a pair of low rise jeans. Alex looked at the dress and the jeans. She threw the dress out the window.
There was also some make up and…Alex was jumping up and down, happily squealing. In her mysterious lime green backpack there was a pair of brown cowboy boots.
At noon or 'the hour of twelve' Alex ended up at the hospital wing breathless. She had got lost five times and had to run to make it on time.
Devera was standing there, in a shimmery pink gown; her hair was hanging loose around her waist.
'Shiny…wait no, don't think like that, get back to reality' Alex's mind yelled.
"Alex, what are you wearing?"
"A Halter top and jeans…you like" Alex twirled around for her friend.
Devera muttered something about 'that girl...' she shook her head and lead Alex down stairs.
Alex didn't think she looked that bad. Her halter top showed some skin but not that much. Only enough to see her earring on her belly button.
She had little make up on, just some brown eye shadow and glitter lip gloss. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail. What was wrong with her outfit? This Alex didn't know.
They arrived outside to a beautiful garden but the two women walked on, to the gate where full golden trees stood. The two sat down on a bench. The garden was quiet but after a few moments, Alex got bored, never a good sign. She began humming, 'Crazy in Love' to herself. Alex began to tap her foot and before long she had jumped up and was dancing and singing. The dancing got Devera's eye and she was hissing at her friend to sit down. Alex was always a good singer and dancing. She had many years of voice training and dance lesson. She always thought those two traits would take her far in life.
But now, Alex was injured so her couldn't but pressure on her right leg or move her ribcage. She wasn't really dancing, she was singing just fine.
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, oh, no-no
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, oh, no-no
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, oh, no-no
History in the making part two
It's so crazy right now
I look and stare so deep in your eyes
I touch on you more and more every time
When you leave I'm beggin' you not to go
Call your name two or three times in a row
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain
How I'm feelin' and my pride is the one to blame
'Cause I know I don't understand
Just how your love your can do what no one else can
Got me lookin' so crazy right now
Your love's got me lookin' so crazy right now (Your
love)
Got me looking so crazy right now
Your touch got me lookin' so crazy right now (Your
touch)
Got me hopin' you'll page me right now
Your kiss got me hopin' you'll save me right now
Lookin' so crazy, your love's got me lookin'
Got me lookin' so crazy in love
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, oh, no-no
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, oh, no-no.
Just as she was in the middle of her "uh-oh's
Two white horses came through the gates of Rivendell. Her backs were to them. Alex takes the term "Dance like no one is watching' to a new degree. Devera jumped to her feet to greet her brothers, "Legolas, Silmar!" she raced up to them. At this point Alex had stopped dancing. She just started examining her fingernails. "Brothers…" but Alex cut Devera off. "Wait, you are a princess!" Alex shrieked. "Yes" Devera blushed; she wasn't fond of her title. "My nurse will be queen, just peachy" Alex muttered to herself, suddenly she turned to the two princes.
"Hey, I'm Alexandra, a patient of your sisters and a guest in Rivendell. But please do call me Alex" the girl in question gave a pleasant smile but was trying so hard not to laugh. She loved being weird, and the look on the princes faces were priceless. The one called Legolas was staring at her like she had two heads, though Silmar was trying not to look at her belly button earring.
"Well, it was nice meeting up but alas I must go freshen up for the big ball tonight" with that Alex skipped off, and after she rounded a corner, she cracked up laughing, she limped along still laughing. But she was soon on the ground. A man was standing over her. Alex was laughing even more insanely, but she stopped when she saw the sword at the man's side. "Shiny….Can you teach to swordfight?" Alex asked, dead serious.
The man looked startled but Alex replied lamely, "Prince Legolas, Is that way" she pointed from where she came and limped back to her room, getting lost only twice.
Alex finally reached her bedroom and lied down on her bed. She was tired from all this long walks around. She was worried about the feast tonight. But then the look on Legolas face came into her mind and she crackled, and she forgot all her worries.
The feast was at five and Alex still had 3 hours to waste, she Alex limped over to her closet and began looking for what to wear.
All in all, the closet contained too much lace and too much pink. Two things Alex hated with passion. She turned to her ever fatefully lime green backpack.
Alex pulled out something that she like and with a smirk, started getting ready all by herself…..
Alex was pacing, or well trying to pace, even after five days the damn leg still hurt. So was nervous, she didn't know if the elves would kick her out because of what she was wearing. She had on red pants that flared out at the bottom and a shirt. The shirt was cut about an inch above her belly button. The top was tube top in the same color. Alex was playing with the strings on her red netted gloves. The rest of her outfit included red heels, big hoop earrings and her hair was curled. Alex looked in the mirror; she shakily put on the gold eye shadow, black eyeliner and ruby red lipstick.
Alex laughed at herself shaking, She took a deep breath and looked at the clock, quarter to 5. She should head down. With that Alex grabbed her bag and crunches and walked to where she thought the feast was being held.
This time, Alex got lost at least 12 times. She was cursing under her breath now. Finally, she found what she was looking for, two very large oak doors. "Let's get this party started" Alex muttered cheerfully. Before pushing open the doors.
The elves were talking amongst themselves when Alex walked in. All the eyes turned to her. Alex took two calming breaths before speaking up, "Yeah, sorry I'm late. Didn't know you could walk in circles 12 times in this place" Alex send before descending the stairs. Alex looked very pretty even with the crunches at either side. But all the elves were shocked at seeing that much skin on a person.
Devera dropped her head into her hands and shook her head. All the female elves began whispering among themselves, while most men were blushing a pale crimson…if they could blush.
"Um…yeah…where sit at?" Alex asked, mildly like nothing was wrong.
Two elves at the head table began pushing each other off of there chairs. Alex smirked but walked over to Devera.
"Mara!" Alex called, "like it?"
"Alex" she hissed, "Where is the gown Mara gave you".
"It was ugly" Alex replied. "Plus I hate dresses".
Devera rolled her eyes, as Alex grabbed as much food as she could and pulled it onto her plate. She sipped the water…well it was wine. "Oh my God, I can wine here. This place rocks!" Alex yelled happily. The princes seemed bemused, "Lady Alex…" on of them said. Alex looked up, her mouth full of chicken.
"What do you like to do in your free time?" the other asked, this one was Silmar…or maybe it was Legolas.
"I played football, and baseball, and soccer, and swimming. Then there was dancing and singing" Alex smiled blissfully before returning to her chicken. Dinner continued like this for awhile before elves began getting up and going out of the great doors.
"Wait" Alex asked confused, as the royal family of Mirkwood got up. "Where are we going".
"We are going into the hall of fire" Devera replied. "Come Alex" she stated, before going into the other room.
The hall was bigger than the dining area, and it had a huge fireplace on one end a stage on the other. Elrond got up and made a big speech, which almost sent Alex to sleep. A few elves spoke poetry in their language. But Alex was never liked poetry. A few she-elves sang, but Alex didn't understand it. But one of the princes, Legolas, got onto the stage. "I will like to request a song from Lady Alexandra, My lady?" he asked, in a loud clear tone.
A smirk came onto Alex's face. "One moment please" Alex told the crowd and another elf got up and sang. Alex whispered something into a maid's ear and she walked off. By the time she returned the elf had finished and Alex's smirk grew wider. She took her lime green backpack from the maid and thanked her.
Alex hopped up onto the stage and pulled three things out of her backpack. A microphone, a cd player with hook-up speakers, and a karaoke disc.
Alex looked over the song and smiled, "Good choice" she whispered to her green friend.
Alex flipped the mic on and tapped it. "Check one, Check two… ok this thing works. Anyway I shall perform a song called "Since you been Gone, by Kelly Clarkson…she owns the lyrics and all that jazz"
The music started and Alex began singing.
Here's the thing we started off friends
It was cool but it was all pretend
Yeah yeah
Since you've been gone
Alex started dancing a little leaning on a crunch.
You dedicated you took the time
Wasn't long till I called you mine
Yeah
Since you've been gone
And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say
Alex rolled her eyes and began limping back and forth across the stage.
But since you've been gone
I can breathe for the first time
Im so movin on
Yeah yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get
What I want
Since you've been gone
How can I put it? you put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah yeah
Since you've been gone
How come I never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
I guess you never felt that way
Alex jumped of the stage, falling but pushing herself back up.
But since you've been gone
I can breathe for the first time
Im so movin on
Yeah yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get
I get what I want
Since you've been gone
You had your chance you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again
Alex walked over to Legolas and looked him in the eye, before slapping him across the face. She back up to the stage and finished up the song.
Since you've been gone
I can breathe for the first time
Im so movin on
Yeah yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get
I get what I want
I can breathe for the first time
Im so movin on
Yeah yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get
You should know
That I get
I get what I want
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Alex bowed as claps were heard but the elves frowned at her way she treated the prince and the odd lyrics. Alex went back to her seat and kissed Legolas were she slapped him. "Happy?" she asked. He nodded numbly.
