A/N: Ok ya I'm sry about the last chapter's A/N. I was typing it at like
3am to make sure it got posted . See how dedicated we are to getting this
Fan Fic out to you? I apologize for the miss spellings and any thing else
that mistyped. So this is an interesting chapter. Kinda shows you that as
creepy seems to be she really doesn't take crap from people or charity. So
please R&R! I would really like to post more often. We might end up using
some Elvish in this Fan Fic b/c ... well... we are elves. We're sry if we don't
translate something right. We're trying! That's all that matter. So Enjoy!
Abby note : Actually, I apologize for part of this section. It contains a
sword fight, which, unfortunately, is not of the highest quality. Please do
not judge our writing by my horrible sword fight here. We promise we're
better than that. Thanks!
Chapter Three
This could possibly be the funniest thing Abby had ever seen. She knew Lindi had practiced sword fighting in her room when no one was watching, but...
She didn't need to finish this thought as the two figures below pulled their swords from their belts. It was interesting to see Lindi wear a sword belt around her flowing, purple dress. It seemed that Legolas was going to go easy on Lindi to begin with, so he could gauge her level of ability. It was apparent that he did not want to severely maim Lindi, just a little.
She came at him with a lunge, using his cautiousness to her advantage. He stepped back, surprised at her aggressiveness. He then attacked switch side strike before she could regain her footing. When she brought her sword up to block, he disengaged and went into a reverse turn attack catching Lindi, by surprise.
Lindi none the less managed to block again, but this caused them to be hilt to hilt. This situation was a test of strength. Legolas bore down, forcing Lindi to her knees. She managed to roll away from this, knowing it was futile to continue that fight. She stood again with her sword at the ready. Seeing she was losing at regular sword fighting, she decided to try something she had learned in a house of brothers.
Lindi hooked a foot around Legolas' ankle, putting him off balance. He fell down, but (since he was an elf) he got to his feet in a split second. He snaked his sword around Lindi's, and it was flung aside. He quickly went around behind her and brought his own sword up to her neck.
"Lle lava?" (Do you yield) he whispered into her ear.
"I have no choice."
"Lle ume quel."(You did well)
"Lle wethrine amin."(you cheated)
"I cheated? How, did I happen to cheat?"
"You made me drop my sword."
"Well, you made me fall."
"Fine. Alright. You win."
Legolas removed his sword from her throat and walked over to where Lindi's sword had fallen. He picked it up and brushed the dirt off of it. He then began to think. Lindi had a lot of perseverance. What if he could teach her swordplay? He turned back around and watched as Lindi gathered up her bow and quiver. As creepy as she had seemed, she also had spirit. She could learn, but he would need to talk to Ali about this. After all, he didn't really know what he was getting himself into.
He walked over towards Lindi. She heard him behind her. She turned around and without even looking at him, she took her sword and sheathed it. Without another word, she headed back to the house of Elrond where Ali and Abby were waiting.
Legolas gathered his weapons, and he also headed up to the house. Just then, a hand fell upon his shoulder. He turned around and there was Elrond.
"Lord Elrond," Legolas bowed politely. "How may I be of service?"
"Legolas, I am holding a secret council in order to decide what to do about The Ring. You need to help me spread the word to the select few that are coming. I have already informed the elven members and the dwarves. If you could just please inform those of the race of men and your three companions."
"Ya?"(Who) asked Legolas.
"The three elf maidens. Ali needs to attend, and I know the two others will make it a point to follow their friend. They have a special bond of friendship."
"Yes. Of course."
And with that, Elrond and Legolas made their way back up to the house in silence. They parted near the doors.
"Elrond is VERY secretive," someone commented as Legolas entered the house. Turning around, he saw Ali and Abby standing at the bottom of the stairs.
"Let me guess," Ali continued. "The council will also be outside." She looked as if she were about to laugh.
"Well, as you two are obviously informed," Legolas said, "I shall be going. Qual re."(Good day)
"Good riddance," Abby said under her breath.
Legolas whirled around. "I heard that," he said coolly.
"Abby..." Ali said warningly.
"What? I didn't do anything," Abby said in a falsely innocent voice.
"Liar," Legolas said.
"I am NOT a liar. That would be you, pretty boy."
Again, Legolas whipped out his bow and arrow and aimed it at Abby. Ali rolled her eyes.
"Break it up, you two," she said, clearly exasperated. "Legolas, put that thing away before you hurt someone, since it will probably be me."
"Yeah, since he can't hit me, even when I'm two feet away from him," Abby remarked.
"Are you willing to stake your life on that?" Legolas asked angrily.
"Stop the madness! We're going to be late for the council. Can't we all just get along?" Ali was ready to smack both elves. "I hate being in the middle," she muttered.
"Then stop trying to play Switzerland," Abby said.
"Yeah, be Portugal instead."
All three elves spun around to see Lindi standing behind them.
"Great idea there, Lindi. Hey, you still have your bow and arrows, right? Feel like shooting these two numbskulls?" Ali asked sarcastically. Lindi just laughed. "Honestly, don't I have enough to put up with without you two trying to kill each other? Let's just head to the council before I have a heart attack."
With that, Ali walked off with Lindi (who was talking nonstop about Legolas and his fighting techniques), praying that Legolas and Abby wouldn't kill each other as soon as her back was turned.
Abby turned her head back toward Legolas and sighed. His arrow was still right there in her face. If he didn't get out of her personal bubble soon, she might strangle him.
"You want to put that little toy of yours away? How about we just progress on to the verbal insults, have a go at each others throats, and call it a day?"
Legolas lowered his bow a fraction of a centimeter but said nothing.
"Alright... since you don't want to be the one to start, I will. You are a puny, sluggish, idiotic, sorry excuse for an elf. Your Adar would be ashamed!"
"Don't say anything about my Adar! You don't know anything about him!"
"Ahhh...." Sighed Abby happily. "Struck a nerve did I? Well, let's see what other such nerves I can find... Let's see... I personally believe that Galadriel is ugly, as is Arwen, and that forests don't hold a candle up to the mines of the dwarves."
Legolas was now turning a deep crimson color, a very distinct difference from his normally pale skin. His eloquence had left him as he stuttered, "How... how... d-dare you... you have insulted not only me, but also all of the things, places, and people I hold dear. If you were a PROPER elf, you would hold them dear, too..." Legolas seemed to lose his words in his anger. The arm that held his bow had fallen limply t his side. Apparently, this situation was too serious for physical threats.
Slowly gaining his temper back, he continued, "I suggest that you leave. If you don't, I will not guarantee your safety."
Abby suddenly realized what a big mistake she had made. It didn't matter that she believed Legolas was an arrogant, annoying idiot, he WAS an elf. He DID have feelings, and obviously passions, too.
"I'll go," the words were out of her mouth before she even thought about them. She turned away and walked out of the room.
* * * * *
Lindi and Ali had reached the council. The group of beings assembled there ranged from men and elves to dwarves and a stray hobbit. Looking at this last one, Ali saw it was Bilbo Baggins. She wondered if he knew where Frodo was.
Her thoughts were interrupted as Lindi said, "I wonder if Aragorn will be here... I mean, if Frodo never got in trouble and needed Strider's help..." she trailed off.
"He'll be here," Ali said in a confident tone, though confident was definitely not how she felt. "He DOES know Arwen... he HAS to be here. If he isn't, it could ruin everything!"
"Miss Optimistic, aren't we?" Lindi replied with a snort, but she had a worried look on her face. Just then, Legolas showed up.
"Legolas! Are you all right?" asked Lindi, even more worried than she had been a moment before. Legolas' face showed signs of anguish.
"Yeah! You look like an orc chewed you up and spit you out," Ali said. The look from Lindi clearly told her that her friend believed that Legolas could never look THAT bad. Ali turned back to the prince and asked, "Did you and Abby have another row?"
"You could call it that," replied Legolas, his temper returned to normal. "I have decided that she is officially deranged. She says she would prefer the mines of the dwarves to our beautiful forests. That is just not natural. At least not for an elf," he added seeing the indignant looks from a couple of dwarves a few feet away.
Ali and Lindi looked at each other— Ali with nonplussed acceptance and Lindi with utter rage.
"Has she gone mad?! Why, I ought to strangle her!"
"Lindi! Lindi!" Ali said very sharply. When she didn't get a response, she yelled, "MELINDA!" Lindi, snapping out of her vision of killing Abby, very, VERY slowly looked at ALI, "Mani?" (What) she asked innocently.
"Oh don't you give me that! You are not allowed to kill Abby!"
Legolas watched this conversation without much interest. By this point, he had figured out what role each friend from the strange trio played.
Lindi was obviously the temperamental one. She had a passionate nature, which could lead to obsession. Ali was the calm, intellectual one. She was the brains behind the group. And Abby... Well, Abby was... She was the competitive, outspoken one. She DEFINITELY wasn't afraid to speak her mind.
As he was thinking all of this, Ali ha managed to calm Lindi down, for which Legolas was glad.
Elrond called the council to discuss the subject of The Ring. Legolas sighed... this could take a while.
And so the council began.
