Stalking the Fellowship
Chapter twenty six: Of course she's an elf!
"An elf?" Legolas sputtered.
"Yes an elf!" Exclaimed Pippin.
"I'm the only elf here," He explained clearly.
"No, No she's and elf too!" Merry said earnestly.
"We met her in Lorien. in...in... Caras…" He frowned.
"Caras Galadhon?" Maddy ventured.
"Yes there!"
Mo shot Maddy an evil look.
"But she's just a human! Albeit a short tempered, republican-" Legolas tried.
"We get the point-"
"Human" he finished.
"You said you was an elf!" Pippin broke in indignantly.
"No, you assumed that she was an elf!" intercepted Maddy.
"But-"
"We could just tell them what was happening when we found you!" Said Fran.
"What?" Merry queried and then frowned, "then why did you say your name was Ithildin?"
"It's a nick name!" Said Mo.
"And you just happen to have a name in Sindarin that means Silent moon?" Legolas did not believe her.
"Yep, that's 'bout it," Said Maddy, "I'm called Earedien. By the way what does that mean? 'Sea' something or the other. I now 'ien' is put on the end of names for the sake of it-"
"You have a name that you do not know the meaning of?" Aragorn asked.
"Yeah that's the long and short of it," Legolas flung his arms up in despair.
"You have been lying to us from day one!" Said Legolas.
"No! We haven't! Galadriel sent us with a message. Do you think she'd just pluck someone out of the air! We were in Lothlorien at the time, she asked us to do her a favour and we agreed to help. So STOP questioning us! What have done NOTHING wrong!" Maddy finished, paused an unreadable expression on her face. She then turned and ran.
"Erm, I think we should go talk to her," Fran said walking off hurriedly, Mo followed.
"What's wrong with her?"
"I don't know," Mo replied.
Then eventually they found Maddy, leaning against a rock, muttering to herself.
"What's Wrong?"
There was no reply.
"What's wrong?" they persisted.
"I shouted at Legolas!" Maddy eventually burst out.
"Oh," Fran simply replied, whilst Mo tried to control her laughter.
"He won't like me now!"
"I don' t think he ever did," Mo said.
"Oh shut up," Maddy sniffed.
"I don't think you have anything to worry about," Said someone gently. The three looked up to see…
.-.-.-.
"Ooooooh...Gandalf," Mo said dazzled by Gandalf's appearance in their private conversation, "For some reason, I always felt happier when your around."
"I know what you mean," said Francesca smiling.
"Well it pleases me that my presence is welcome. Not all people share you enthusiasm," Said Gandalf approaching the rock Maddy was leaning against.
"HELLO!" Said Maddy waving her hands around in the air, "We were talking about me, my problems. Help me!"
Mo and Fran reluctantly turned back to their troubled friend.
"What was wrong with you again?" Fran said forgetfully.
"Legolas!"
"Oh yeah. Just send him bunch of flowers and a box of chocolates. It always makes me feel better."
Maddy lowered her head into her hands, "How many times do I have to tell you? Middle earth equals no chocolate," raged Maddy.
"No wonder I've lost so much weight recently. Lack of chocolate," Fran said airily.
"Middle earth ain't so kind to Maddy," Mo chuckled.
"I'm having a crisis and you're putting me down! What kind of friends are you?"
"However amusing this has proved to be I came to you with important business to attend to." Gandalf interjected, which was followed by a long Ent like pause.
"Yes...The point being?" Mo said, having plucked up courage to break the silence over the four of them.
"Ah...yes," Gandalf continued.
"Becoming Gandalf the white should have at least improved his memory," Mo whispered to Fran.
"Madeleine you have no worries of execution, nor do you Mo and Francesca as I've explained everything."
"EXECUTION!" All three girls cried.
"Yes well. The fellowship and others felt your treachery was of a great scale. Therefore, you must be enemies spies, who threatened everything they have worked hard to protect and keep secret."
"What about you? What do you think?" Asked Maddy wisely.
"I think Galadriel accepted you into her forest, allowed you to continue on your quest of following the fellowship and saw no interruption to the events that will take place in the future if you were all present."
"Whoa! That's a nut shell" Fran said amazed.
"That is because, Francesca, Galadriel told me of these proceedings. Fortunate for your lives have been spared."
"Is Legolas still pissed at Maddy?" Mo said.
"He was upset, like all of them were, for what has been said. But they now understand you reasons for lying Mo, and their trust in you three has been rebuilt," Gandalf concluded.
"So there's still a chance for you and 'Ladylas' Maddy!" Maddy shot a look at Fran who ran behind Mo and pushed her forwards as a shield barrier for the expected blow too her arm.
"I think it is best for you to rejoin the company," Instructed Gandalf.
Mo jumped out of Fran's hand to Maddy's side and said, "You watch what they get for trying to execute me!"
