Stalking the Fellowship
Chapter Thirty Four: Elven miscreants
"Look! The light at the end of the tunnel!" Fran announced.
"Yeah, and it's about the size of a pinprick," replied Mo, pulling Elladan's cloak around her.
"Shh! I'm trying to coax Maddy out."
"I think she's fine." Said Mo looking around. "Where is she anyway?"
"With Legolas. See she's holding his arm rather tightly.
"Which one is she? Left or right?"
"Right. The other one is Gimli."
Ooooo0ooooO
"Light! Pure! Wondrous! Splendiferous light!" Maddy had dropped the cloak and was now spinning around in circles.
"You know the ghosts are still here?" commented Mo.
Madeleine lost her balance; fell onto Legolas sending him sprawling backwards.
"Oof." Legolas wiped his hair out of his face and tried to get up.
But he couldn't.
Maddy was trying to hide under his tunic.
"What are you doing?"
"Hiding," came the muffled reply.
Fran and Mo were clutching their sides in laughter. "You know I would let you hide under my tunic." Elladan commented to Mo suggestively.
Mo looked at him before kicking him sharply in the knee before returning her attention back to Maddy.
"You know your skin glows?" Maddy asked.
"Your breath is tickling me," Legolas replied through gritted teeth.
"Really? How about now?" Maddy started to blow.
"Tampa Tanya!" Stop that! he burst slipping into Sindarin.
"Mankoi?" why?
"Man ume lle quena?" what did you say?
"Amin quena 'Mankoi'." I said, 'why'
"What is going on?" Aragorn strode up, staring at Legolas.
"She's hiding." Legolas replied patting Maddy on the head.
"Under your tunic?"
Ooooo0ooooO
"Fran! Look at this." Maddy hissed.
"What?" she replied groggily.
"Mo! And Elladan!"
Fran's eyes widened. Elladan was leaning against a tree asleep with Mo in his lap, she was currently leaning against his chest.
"By the Valar!" gasped Legolas (Madeleine was still holding to his arm).
This woke Elladan with a start, which in turn woke up Mo.
She screamed, "What is going on?"
"You were cold so I offered to warm you up and you said yes."
"No, I bloody well did not! How the hell did I end up in your lap?"
"Yes Mo, how did you end up in Elladan's lap?" Maddy stressed loudly causing those around them to turn and stare.
"That's what I'm asking!" shouted Mo, who was highly embarrassed by this point, and ran behind Fran so that no one could see her anymore.
All eyes turned to Elladan.
"Forgive me Mo, but to see a fair maiden such as yourself suffering from the nights chill pains me. You must understand that I meant no offence, only the intension to keep you warm beside me. But I think you appreciated this much more than I expected and repositioned yourself on top of me," the elf smirked.
"I would not do that!" came a furious roar from behind Fran's shoulders.
"Well you DID do that, much to my surprise."
"Very much to his delight, I'm sure. Look at that smug smile on his face he enjoyed it," laughed Fran to Maddy.
"SHUT UP FRANCESCA!" Mo retaliated.
"You know you liked it, Mo." Maddy spat out through a fit of uncontrollable laughter.
"Why haven't you all set off like I asked, Legolas?" Aragorn appeared from a dim lit cove adjacent to the camp.
"Because Mo wants to act out hidden fantasies at the moment," chuckled Maddy; stumbling to reach the horse she intended to ride.
"Ok, I'm not talking to you any more! Who needs enemies when they have friends like you!" Mo stormed off towards her horse, leaving Frab abd Naddy to fill the stale air with laughter.
Ooooo0ooooO
"Yippee! We're there, we're there!" Maddy waved her hands in delight so violently that she lost grip of Legolas' waist and fell to the soft mud below her with a thud.
This time the whole group found the crazy antics of the girls amusing, so much so that even Aragorn pushed his troubles aside to pass out a hearty chorus of laughter.
"You alright, love?" Fran dismounted and raised Maddy to her feet, revealing the gooey mud covering Maddy's face and whole front.
"She looks like an orc!" Mo's observation was quite accurate at first glance.
"Shut up Mo!" Maddy was not pleased to say the least.
A/n Well I have emerged from the already tall piles of homework assignments to post this. Elladan's been a very naughty elf :grins: any believe his explanation?
A note on the elvish, it's from the grey elves site I used years ago, therefore it's not actually Tolkien canon but I didn't really have time nor the patience to make it correct and I don't believe ff.n takes stories down for incorrect elvish, though with their stringent rules I wouldn't be surprised.
Fk306 animelover: Is this chapter soon enough, or would you prefer more frequent updates?
LadyGlory: Black with red skulls :quirks brow: Do I dare ask? My room is yellow and red with gold stars. It was decorated before I read Harry Potter though…I think.
Bunny of despair: Do not rub in the grievances of the author! After all I post. :P
Yellow Peanutbutter Ruler: Hannon le.
Fae Black: Progressive, I think I like that word…
Shadow08: Hilarious? Really? Thanks!
Sweetypie15: Your most welcome.
Well the apple crumble I just made smells as if I need to take it out of the oven soon and there's custard to be made so I will take my leave now.
