Amani 6: The perfect plan
Henwen and I put our heads together, plotting like crazy. Serious, it really felt like my brain was on fire from all the thinking. Henwen was finally putting her heart and soul into my plan, her insane giggling sounding throughout the air. Come to think of it, why didn't any of the male elves hear us? Ah, well. Good for us.
It had taken some amount of time, but the plan was finished at last. We had done a great job in my book, down to every little detail. Even though I have to say the plan was rather simple.
Henwen popped put from our hiding spot and carefully walked over to the males. 'Mission Revenge Is Sweet' was about to be put into action. I could barely hold my laughter as I sneaked behind the trees surrounding the waterfall. Moving as silent as possible past the elves and over to a large oak tree, standing right by the bridge that went over the little stream.
I looked over at Henwen. Seeing that she was in the right position, I nodded my head and she started her part of the plan, distraction. As she caught the attention to the unknowing males, I on the other hand took a deep breath and braced myself.
"Here we go." I whispered to myself.
*Ready. Set. Go!* I launched forward, grabbed the clothes hanging over the rail of the bridge, and set off on a wild runaway before the males could react. I ran with great speed over the bridge and disappeared amongst the trees on the other side. Just to be on the safe side I decided to run in zigzag. The sound of angry elves started to caress my sensitive ears and I could not help the evil grin that spread on my lips. The plan was a success!
Or so I thought……
I turned my head around to see if anyone was following me, and at that very moment I bumped right into something hard. I fell backwards and landed on my bottom with a thump.
"Ouch!" I exclaimed in pain as a soft snickering filled the air. I looked up in surprise at the hard thing I had just collided with.
It was no other than 'The Bedroom Elf'.
"Serves you right, now, give me back my clothes." He motioned toward the pile of clothes lying right in front of me.
At first I was still trying to get over my shock, and then it dawned on me. *If he is standing here with me….* I paused. *And he wants his clothes that are lying in that pile….* A warm feeling started to spread on my cheeks and I stared at the ground with newfound interest. *Then…what is he wearing now?*
I thanked Eru that I had not raised my gaze to look upon him yet and I was certainly not going to either. I pushed the awkward thought out of my mind and I opened my mouth to speak. No words came out, however, another plan formed in my mind. *How long was he willing to chase me, naked?* I fought the urge to smirk and reached for the pile of clothes.
Before my hand even touched the clothes, I heard someone approaching us, then Henwen's voice calling my name. *Oh, no!* In a split second I heard her scream in terror, at what I presumed to be Glorfindel….without clothes. I saw my way out of the mess and grabbed the pile of clothes, stood up with eyes closed, and ran as fast as my legs could carry me. Leaving a stunned Glorfindel, and Henwen, who was probably scarred for life.
This time I kept my gaze ahead of me. I had no intention of going through another 'bumping incident' any time soon. I ran up the stairs to Elrond house and slipped through the door, but I did not stop there. My feet were still on the run and I kept my pace as I moved down the long hallway. Once again I slipped out the door and found myself breathing the free air again.
I could hear angry voices building in the distance and I knew they were on my trail. So I hurried myself onwards until I reached my destination. My plan was in its final stage. I darted over to the waterfall. Yes, the waterfall. You never could've guessed now, could you?
This was part of the plan. I felt so proud of myself. They would run around forever without knowing. I walked over to the bridge and put all the clothes back onto the railing. I stepped back and took in the sight….perfect. The males were running around in the wood somewhere, looking for me, and pretty angry I would think. Some was having clothes on, others wearing nothing at all. I snickered to myself. *'The Bedroom Elf'*
I would probably have to pay for playing this prank on him, but I was not going to let that get me down. I was certainly having the time of my life. From my 'safe spot', in one of the trees near the waterfall, I could spot some of them running around screaming in anger, both my name and Henwen's. Oh, yes….I was going to pay for this…..
A/N: I'm sorry I haven't updated for quite some time. It just seemed like everyone lost interest….I did anyway. I know this is really short, but I wanted to update as fast as possible after my little…eh…break? *Smiles innocently* Well, here is a new chapter then. Hope you will enjoy it! Thanks to all my reviewers!
