Life Sucks
By: Dreamweaver
Maria entered the library with Elrond when she noticed someone was already there. She looked at him, he was short compared to Elrond, he had long whit hair and a sweeping silver beard. He had broad shoulders and his dark eyes were set like coals that could leap suddenly into fire. She raised an eyebrow but said nothing. Elrond indicated her to take a seat. She sat down and waited him to begin.
" Maria, this is Gandalf. He's a wizard."
" You mean you're a magician? So you can pull rabbits out of a hat?" Now Elrond and Gandalf looked confused. " Never mind. Go on."
" Gandalf is here to talk to you. Why don't you tell us the story on how you arrived here."
" There isn't much to tell. I was in a empty building crying cuz my…never mind…I was sad and I fell asleep. When I woke up I was in a forest. How I ended up there? I have no idea so don't ask. I was trying to find my way out when this big ugly dude started shooting arrows--"
" Orc." Gandalf interrupted.
" Orc?" " The creature that shot at you was an orc."
" Okay, moving on. The 'orc' started shooting at me. So the first thing that came to mind was run away. So I started running my ass away from the orc only to run into another one."
" As you can tell from the bruises all over my body I got my ass kicked. But I wasn't going to go down so easily, hell no! So I got back on my feet and started to fight back. I got hit a lot of course but I still won. I pulled out my switch blade--"
" Switch blade?" Elrond asked.
" Huh? Oh! Let me show you." Maria took it out of her pocket and flick the blade open. She placed it on the desk Elrond was sitting at. He picked it up and examined it. " I used that to kill both of the orcs. I cut the throat of one and stabbed the other one in the head." Elrond passed the knife onto Gandalf.
" Afterwards, I tried to clean my wounds so they wouldn't get infected and try not to bleed to death. With my stuff I went walking but eventually passed out and ended up here." She told them. Gandalf gave the blade back to Maria. She put the blade back and placed it in her pocket. " Now it's your turn to tell the story." She told them
" My daughter, Arwen, was the one that found you. She was going for a ride on her horse when she found you. Apparently you were singing which caught her attention. When she saw you, you were unconscious and near death. Arwen immediately brought you here. We quickly healed your wounds and let you rest. You've been asleep for almost five days now." He told her.
She jumped to her feet, eyes wide. " Five days?!? Are you shitting me? Damn!" She started muttering under her breathe but sat back down. After a minute Elrond started speaking again.
" Gandalf and myself have no idea why you are here Maria but I assure you that we will find out. The only reasons we can think of is that either someone sent you here for something or you have some purpose here."
" A purpose? Well, that purpose almost got me killed! That's something I would like to avoid, thank you. Is there anything else you should tell me?"
She looked at both of them. " We have something else to tell you but we'll let you rest and tell you at another time. Celeste, please come in." The she-elf came into the room.
" Please take Maria back to her room."
" Yes my lord." Celeste escorted Maria out of the room. They walked in uncomfortable silence. Right before they reached Maria's room, she stopped walking and faced Celeste.
"Um…Celeste?"
" Yes, milady?" Maria started to fidget with her hands, her head bowed down. " I'm sorry for tugging your ears and calling you a…well… a freak. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me."
A hand touched her chin and made her look Celeste in the eyes. " Its alright. I forgive you." She let out a sigh in relief.
" Oh good. Come into my room, we can talk. I don't want to rest." She took Celeste's hand and pulled her into the room. Once they entered the room she let go of her hand and sat down on the bed, telling Celeste to do the same. " So tell me what Elves are like, besides the fact that they're all beautiful."
Celeste laughed at her comment. " Well, our senses are much better than a human. Our hearing and eyesight are impeccable. We are immortal."
" Immortal? As in live forever?"
" Yes."
" Damn. So you can never be killed."
" No, that's not true."
" Then your not immortal."
" We are, there are only three ways we can die. One way is if we're killed in battle, another way is if we are overcome with grief or a broken heart."
" And the third?"
" Very few elves have the chance to become mortal. Some have the chance to give up immortality."
" Ah! Anything else?" " We're very light on our feet. We have quick reflexes and we're very skilled warriors. Most of the male elves are."
" Do you know a elf named Arwen?"
" Oh yes. She's Lord Elrond's youngest. She's very beautiful, elves say that she is the finest looking she-elf around, second to her grandmother. Why do you ask?"
" She was the one that brought me here. It would only be right to thank her. Just wanted to know who she is."
" What you did on the balcony was amazing. I've never seen a human do that." Celeste said.
" Yea, well. Where I come from people do very great things, better stuff then what I did on the balcony. Why don't you give me a tour?"
" I don't know if I should, you're suppose to be resting. I could get in trouble." She told Maria.
Maria waved her off. " No worries. If you get in trouble, I'll just say I was too stubborn to rest and went off to explore. You came along just to make sure I didn't get lost or hurt myself."
"But that's lying…"
" So? You won't be the one lying so don't worry. I lie all the time to get people off my back so lets go." She grabbed Celeste and pulled her off the bed. Linking arms with her they walked out of the room.
Celeste showed her around Rivendell, telling her things about elvish history. She showed her the stables, the weapons room, the kitchen and the dining hall. Celeste walked in with Maria to room full of instruments. Maria's eyes widened with fascination as she looked at them. " Wow…" She muttered. Celeste pointed out each instrument and told her what they were called. She had to pull Maria out of the room so they could explore some more. She showed her the gardens, there Celeste pointed out each flower and just talked stories.
Maria sat on a bench just listening to Celeste's voice. Her body fully relaxed, she breathed in the soft scent of the flowers. Her eyes gazing at every flower. She saw a nearby pond and saw water lilies dancing across the water. Her eyes watered up when she remembered that lilies were her mothers favorite flower. She smiled at the memory of her and her mother sitting out on the back porch watching the lilies dance in the night on the water. Her mother had given her lilies after her recital that night when the accident happened.
Celeste could feel sadness come off of Maria. She turned and faced her, she saw that her gaze was directed at the pond full of lilies. Maria's eyes full of tears, one trailing down her cheek, a soft but sad smile on her face. Celeste wondered what Maria was thinking that would have caused her to become sad. Celeste straightened up when she could hear footsteps approaching. She could see Arwen with Legolas and Aragorn walking down the steps heading towards them.
Maria probably could hear them for she took a deep breathe and wiped her face, leaving no trace of tears. She tightened her ponytail, she brushed her hand against her hair to make sure no strands of hair were sticking out. She sat up straight and faced whoever was coming. She could see two elves and a man. Her throat tightened as she saw them. The two elves were so beautiful, their beauty couldn't be put into words. The male elf was clad in green and brown. He was tall like the other elves she had passed. He had golden hair and fair skin. The female elf was also fair skinned. Raven color hair and the light of stars was in her bright eyes. The man was even handsome, he had that tough ruggedness man thing going on which suited him very well.
As they came closer she recognized that the man and the male elf were the same people she ran into earlier this morning. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Celeste stand, prepared to greet them. Maria slowly got to her feet still glancing at them. Celeste gave them a quick bow when they stood in front of them. She just gave them a quick nod of her head.
" Hello Lady Arwen, Prince Legolas, Estel." Celeste greeted.
" Hello Celeste," They all greeted. Maria was feel a little weird so she slowly started to back away prepared to leave when Celeste said her name.
" This is Lady Marianna. Maria, this is Lady Arwen, Prince Legolas Greenleaf and Lord Aragorn." Maria raised her eyebrow at the titles but said nothing.
"Hello, nice to meet you. Just call me Maria and no Lady it makes me feel weird." She told them bluntly.
" Then just call me Arwen."
" Aragorn is fine."
" Just Legolas." Silence filled the air. Maria felt a little bit weird, not one to like silence she started to talk.
" Arwen,"
" Yes,"
" I don't know how to say this but I'll just come out and say it. Thank you."
" For what?"
" For saving my life."
" Your welcome." Arwen smiled at her.
Now Aragorn and Legolas seemed curious for they did not know what Maria and Arwen was talking about.
" If you do not mind me asking Maria. Where did you get those bruises?" Aragorn asked. She had totally forgotten that there was a bruise on her face and cuts.
" Oh…um…" She averted her eyes, feeling their eyes on her face examining her bruises. Blush rising on her cheeks as she had their full attention. Though Arwen heard the story from her father she still wanted to hear it from Maria.
" I got into a fight with two.." She stopped, trying to remember what Gandalf had called the creatures. " Orcs? I think that's what they're called." Aragorn, Legolas and Celeste's eyes widened. Noticing their reaction she started to get worried. " What? What's wrong?"
" I'm sorry for our reactions Maria but we're just a little bit…" Aragorn said.
" Shocked?"
" Yes, shocked that you were able to handle a orc." She couldn't help but feel a bit angry.
" What? Are you saying I can't?" She retorted.
" No, no. I don't mean to offend you. It's just that a full grown man has trouble handling a orc."
" Much less two." Celeste blurted out.
" Well, there's your problem. I ain't a man, I'm a woman." She told them. Arwen smiled at her remark. Legolas and Aragorn started laughing at her wittiness.
He smiled at her. " Yes, I see that." They all sat down on the bench and started to talk.
" Do you mind telling us how you battled the two orcs?" Legolas asked. She moved her gaze from Aragorn to Legolas taking in his appearance. First word that came into mind was ' HOTTIE!'.
" Not at all." She then told them her tale of how she landed in Middle-Earth and fighting off the orcs.
By the time she finished all of them were looking at her with amazement. " So you have no idea how you got here?" Legolas asked.
" Not a clue." She told him.
They continued talking when a female elf approached them. " Arwen en amin. [My lady]." She called out.
" Uma? [ Yes?]" Arwen answered.
" Lle atar merna quen yassen lle. [Your father wishes to speak with you.]"
" Tulien. Diola lle. [ Coming. Thank you.]"
" Lle creoso. [ Your welcome.]" The elf bowed to her and left.
Maria sat there and listened to what they were saying though she didn't understand a damn word. She listened in awe at the language.
" My father wishes to speak with me, I should go." She told them, mainly for Maria for Arwen could see the confusion written on her. " Nice meeting you Maria."
" Huh? Oh yea, nice meeting you too." Arwen then walked away leaving just the four of them. Maria turned to Celeste.
" What language were they speaking?" She asked.
" Elvish. You've never heard someone speak elvish before?"
" Nope. People don't speak elvish in my world, though I could be mistaken. I mean there are over a hundred different languages in my world. But I've never heard elvish, all I can say is that it sounded beautiful." She told them. " Could you three understand what they were saying." They all nodded yes. " Damn. Stuck in a world where everyone speaks a different language while you don't understand a word. They could be insulting me without me knowing though that happens at school. This sucks." She muttered.
Legolas and Celeste couldn't help but laugh at what she said. She looked at them and saw their faces. 'What? What's so funny?' She thought. Realization hit. " You heard every word I said didn't you?" They nodded. " Damn it. I mean crap. Shit! Dang! Alright I'm shutting up now." All three of them laughed at her antics. Her face turned red with embarressment.
" Its alright Maria. Before I learned elvish I was always afraid to say something aloud without embarrassing myself. Legolas and my brothers always made fun of me. I know how you feel." Aragorn told her.
Relief flooded through her. " Oh thank god. Now I feel better and---" She was cut off by growling coming from her stomach. She grabbed her stomach and laughed. All of them looked at her. She looked around.
" Where did that sound come from?" She said. They laughed at her. " I'm a growing girl, I need to eat."
" Come Maria, it is lunch time, lets get you something to eat." Celeste said.
" You guys coming?" Legolas and Aragorn rose to their feet joining them. When Legolas got a good look at her he realized that she was the same girl that bumped into Aragorn and himself earlier.
" Maria," He called out to her.
" Yes,"
" You bumped into myself and Aragorn earlier. You were running from something but what?" Legolas asked. She laughed nervously, not wanting to face him and tell him the story she walked ahead of Celeste making sure he couldn't see her face.
" Um…he he…Celeste can tell you that story." Celeste laughed and told them what had happened earlier that morning. Her faced redden again.
" You did all that?" Aragorn asked.
" Yea…"
" I would've like to see that." Legolas commented.
" Believe me when I tell you it wasn't as great as Celeste says."
" Yes it was." Celeste said.
" No it wasn't."
" Yes it was,"
" No it wasn't,"
" Yes,"
" No,"
"Yes,"
" No!"
"Yes!" They kept going at it until they reached the kitchen to eat were silence followed as they ate. After they finished eating Aragorn and Legolas stayed with them as Celeste showed Maria more of Rivendell. Maria couldn't help but feel relaxed around them. She had never felt this good since the accident.
They each carried a glass of water with them as they continued to talk.
" If you don't mind me asking but how old are you Maria?" Aragorn asked before took a drink of water.
" I'm 15 and a half." Aragorn almost spit out his drink. While Legolas and Celeste stopped walking. She stopped and faced them when they didn't follow. " What?" She asked.

Authors Note: My elvish ain't all that great but I'm trying. Please review. Reviewing helps me a lot. Hope you liked this chapter, more to come! Review!!! Oh yea, when I described Gandalf, Arwen and Legolas I used the books.
