Chapter 2~ First Night
About an hour later, Kayla returned to her home with bags of fast food. She put the key in the lock and opened the door to find Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli staring at the telephone with their weapons ready to fire. She couldn't help but chuckle at the sight, but when she closed the door, an arrow whizzed by her head and hit the wall. She glanced at it quickly and then back at Legolas, who wore a proud smile. "Wipe that bloody smirk off your face," Kayla said between laughs of relief.
"Can we feast now?" Gimli interrupted.
"You dwarves and your appetites. Just give me a few minutes," she replied, placing the food on the counter, "And don't even think about starting into that food until I get back. I need to go get changed."
"Come on! I'm hungry!" Gimli yelled, rubbing his stomach. Kayla looked into the eyes of the pleading dwarf and a smile crossed her lips. "I guess I can wait. Go and sit down, all of ya!"
"YES!" Gimli shouted, raising his arms in victory.
"Don't think that you'll get everything you want so easily, Master Dwarf. It'll always come back and bite you in the ass." Legolas let out a small chuckle and sat down on one side of the table. Gimli sat across from him, and Aragorn sat on an end. Kayla stood at the counter and pulled out four small paper bags filled with fast food from a local burger stop. She brought them over to the table and set one down in front of each person. She then returned with four cups of coke and placed them next to the bags.
Kayla then sat down herself and opened her bag. Her guests did the same, but looked upon the food curiously. The meal consisted of cheeseburgers, French fries, and small salads. Kayla opened up her burger and immediately took a huge bite out of it. Gimli fumbled with the plastic surrounding the burger, so he took out a small axe and cut it in half. Kayla laughed and watched Legolas and Aragorn open in correctly. Gimli took a small bite and then immediately inhaled most of it. "Gimli," Aragorn whispered harshly, "Not in front of a lady."
"It's fine, Aragorn," Kayla interrupted with her mouth full of food, "No one's perfect." Legolas slightly laughed at the girl's actions. She was different from the ladies in Middle Earth. Her clothes were revealing and she acted more like a man. Legolas was about to take a bite, but hesitated. He had rarely eaten with his hands. "May I ask for utensils, Arwenamin (My lady)?"
"Legolas, just eat it," Aragorn said, taking a bite of his own food, "It won't hurt you to be a little less proper than you normally are. Besides, we don't want to impose on Miss Sparrow."
"Oh, it's no trouble. Be right back," she said as she stood up and was about to make her way to the kitchen.
"Don't fuss about it, Miss Kayla. The Prince of Mirkwood just doesn't know how to relax."
"Aragorn!" the elf shouted. Kayla made her way to the kitchen, taking a fork and knife out of the drawer. She calmly walked back to the table and handed them to Legolas gracefully. "Hannon le (Thank you)," Legolas said with a smile.
"You're welcome, my lord," Kayla replied as she sat back down. Gimli started to make hand motions, imitating Legolas acting like a baby about being improper. Aragorn began to laugh and Legolas began to glare evilly at his companions. Kayla smiled and held back a powerful laugh by stuffing a french fry into her mouth. "Go on Leggy, eat like a man!"
"Gimli, I'm trying to show some class if you don't mind."
"Well, I do mind," Gimli retorted, chucking a piece of food across the table at the elf, hitting him square in the chest. Legolas looked down at the ketchup stain that now appeared on his tunic and grew angry. Gimli threw another piece and hit him in the nose this time. Kayla suddenly threw a fry at Aragorn and it landed on his head. The ranger glanced up at the ceiling and then at the rest of the table. Everyone was smiling at each other.
"This means war," Aragorn said slyly as he chucked a fry at Kayla and missed. Before they knew what happened, a food fight had broken out. They were all tossing a mix of burgers and fries at each other viciously and laughing hysterically. Kayla ducked when Gimli was about to throw his soda at her, but she got back up too soon. "AH!" she screamed as she felt the sticky, ice cold beverage hit her in the face. Legolas laughed uncontrollably and pointed at her. Kayla slowly opened her eyes and glared daggers at the elf. "Oh no," he whispered under his breath.
"Oh no is RIGHT!" she yelled, throwing soda onto him and tackling him to the ground like a child. He was somewhat stunned by her action until he felt his body hit the floor with a thud. Kayla was straddled on his lap, smacking him and screaming. Legolas soon flipped her over and gripped her wrists. "You are a weak one, my lady. There is no way to win this battle with me," the elf said triumphantly.
"Really?" Kayla asked as she continued to struggle, "Well, I hate to disappoint you, but I'm a descendant of pirates, so I suggest you let me go."
"Diola lle (I'm sorry).no." Kayla raised an eyebrow and immediately sat up with Legolas still holding her wrists. She brought her cheek next to his and licked the side of his face. He jumped up and wiped off her saliva, while Aragorn and Gimli continued to laugh. "You taste of soda," Kayla said, standing up and crossing her arms. Legolas smirked but it quickly faded when he found himself on the ground again with Kayla above him. She gripped the front of his tunic and started yelling in a joking manner. Aragorn wasn't sure what she thought she was doing, so he ran over to her and picked her up off the elf. "PUT ME DOWN!" she shouted, "I WAS ONLY JOKING!"
"Sorry, my lady," Aragorn replied, letting her feet touch the ground once more. She glanced at Aragorn and then turned her attention back to Legolas, who was still lying helplessly on the floor. She extended her hand to him and helped him stand. "Well, this is just great. I always wanted to have a fight like this.too bad I have to clean it," Kayla said with a smile.
"We can help," Aragorn stated clearly.
"Aragorn, look at my hair!" Legolas yelled, "Do you know how long it's going to take to get this stuff out?"
"All of you follow me," Kayla said with a smile as she led them down the hall. She opened up a door and showed them a small bathroom. They looked upon it in awe and their eyes scanned the room like radar. "Now boys, this is where you relieve yourselves," she said pointing at the toilet, "It's self-explanatory. Over here," she continued, "Is the bathtub. Whatever you do, don't touch the buttons on the wall unless you want a massage. Better yet, if you want that, let me know and I'll turn it on."
"And what's that?" Legolas asked, pointing at the shower stall.
"That would be the shower. It's the best way to wash up.especially when there's this stuff in your hair. Now, I'm gonna use this first since I need to clean up the dining room and kitchen. Just go up to your room and I'll bring you some stuff when I'm finished.should be five to ten minutes." The three companions nodded and left the room, shutting the door behind them.
Kayla quickly disrobed and turned on the warm water in the shower. She let it run for a minute and then stepped in, shutting the clear glass door behind her. Before she could count to ten, the entire bathroom had filled up with steam. Kayla ran her hair under the water and sighed contently. It felt so wonderful not to be sticky. She picked up some shampoo and scrubbed her hair the best she possibly could. She then rinsed it out and put in some "leave in conditioner" to help with any scum she had missed.
As Kayla began to scrub the rest of her body with jasmine body wash, the bathroom door burst open and she heard someone come in. Luckily, the clear door had fogged up, so she couldn't see out and no one could see in. "Who is it?" she asked as she wiped some of the steam away to see a blur of blonde hair.
"I do not mean to disturb you, Arwenamin (My lady), but I must ask about our clothing. It's filthy and we have nothing else to wear." Kayla opened the shower door and stuck her head out, not letting any other part of her body be revealed. "Legolas, I have some spare men's clothing that used to belong to my ex-boyfriend. When I get out, I'll get it for you," she replied, shutting the door.
"But, my lady.Gimli is running crazy up there with his axe!" Kayla quickly shut the shower off and rung out her hair. When she peeked her head out again, she asked, "Can you hand me a towel from the rack over there?" Legolas did as he was told and handed it to her. "Thank you."
"Lle creoso (You're welcome)," he said as he turned around out of respect, allowing her to step out and wrap the towel around herself.
"You can turn around now," Kayla stated as she turned to the mirror and brushed her wet hair. She noticed Legolas shifting uncomfortably and faced him. "Mani naa ta (What is it)?" she asked.
"N-Nothing, but I'm wondering how you understand my language."
"I picked up a few things here and there over the past few years," Kayla replied as she picked her red robe off the back of the door and out it on, tying the sash. She then pulled the towel off from underneath it and flung it back onto the rack. "Now, what's Gimli doing?"
"Khila amin (Follow me)," he replied as he led Kayla up the stairs and into their bedroom. She watched Gimli running in circles, swinging his axe violently, while Aragorn sat back and watched. "Master Dwarf, what the fuck are you doing?" she asked, her voice rising. He didn't answer. "I said WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"Energetic, lass.very energetic!" the dwarf exclaimed as he kept running. Kayla shook her head and started to laugh. "What's so funny?" Aragorn asked.
"He's hyper and is going to be doing this for quite a while. He's never getting caffeine ever again in this house!"
"Um.my lady."
"What, Lord Aragorn?" she asked. He pointed to her ensemble and looked toward the ground. Kayla looked down at herself and noticed that the top of her robe was sliding closer to her breasts. "Sorry," she said sarcastically, pulling it back up and walking over to a small dresser. She pulled out three large t-shirts and handed them to Aragorn. "You all may wear these as nightshirts. After you're changed, please come and get me so I can wash your clothes. The bathroom is free, by the way, so you all can get cleaned up." With those words, she left the guests to their thoughts.
About an hour later, Kayla was still in the kitchen, cleaning up the disgusting clutter on the table, floor, and counters. She sat on the floor, scrubbing up the sticky mess. She suddenly felt a presence watching her, so she looked around, but saw nothing. "My lady, you still have yet to finish?" a voice asked. Kayla whipped her head around and saw Aragorn standing behind her in a large shirt. "You scared the hell outta me, man!" she exclaimed, her heart pounding.
"I apologize," he replied, extending his hand to her. She gracefully took it and stood up, brushing off her robe. "I'm almost finished, no worries. May I ask why you're up? Shouldn't you be sleeping?"
"I have brought our clothing," he said, showing her the collection of clothes in his arms. Kayla took them and placed them on a stool next to the countertop. "I will wash these carefully, seeing as they look expensive. You may go to bed now. I don't wish to keep you awake." Aragorn bowed to her before taking his leave into the darkness.
