University Log:
The end of high school and Seven weeks off
AN: And I return after…seven months of nothing. When technically I shouldn't even be returning now. I'm completely swamped, my first GCSE exam is in around three weeks and my art prep is about eight pages long, if that. But I was doing my drama coursework (which was actually due before Easter) and I came on here found this story and thought, 'hey there's something I haven't done for seven months' so here I am. If it's crappy I apologise just remember I haven't written for months and there's every chance school has turned me boring.
As always, reviews make my day (and trust me when a persons day revolves around maths and science revision they really do make you feel good.) and so is constructive criticism. Flamers on the other hand are just mean people who have nothing better to do and will go and burn in hell.
Chapter 2.6 (aka, day 6, week 2)
"Over there is the place I broke my arm for the very first time and over there is a really big tree"
"Yes and standing right in front of us," Elrohir pointed at Haldir, "Is the worst tour guide on the PLANET"
"Yeah come on Hal, I swear I've seen this tree six times already. Do you even know where we are?"
"umm…" Haldir looked around, "…of course I do" he said quickly, "Now Lindir, you haven't seen the same tree six times, you just think you have, you see all the trees in Lorien are…"
"…Mellorn's, we know!"
"Shut up Mel!"
"NO! Your boring Haldir!"
"Yeah, well at least your not locked in a room because your parents hate you!"
"Get screwed!"
"Oh my word! What is going on with you two! You haven't stopped arguing all day and I've had enough!" Legolas shouted while the other three groaned.
Legolas: Honestly, all day! Every little thing the other did caused an argument! It was just pissing us all off!
"Maybe that's cause Haldir's a twat!"
"Or maybe it's because you're a cocky arse who thinks he's smarter than everyone else."
"Or maybe it's because-"
Legolas: I decided, if we were going to have any fun today I had to take it into my own hands.
"-That's it!" Legolas grabbed the two arguing elves and started to drag the away from the others.
"Where are you going." Elrohir asked
"You three stay here, I'm going to make these two stop arguing."
"But what if you can't find us when your done?"
"I'm a woodland elf I can find anything in a wood" Legolas grinned
Legolas: So I dragged the two off into the forest sat them down either side of me and sorted them out. All in all it took…urgh, it took ages! Every time I thought we were getting somewhere were back at square one, I eventually managed to pick up what the argument was about but still, urgh, what a waste of my life. It was getting dark by the time I had forced them to make up.
"It's starting to get dark." Elrohir stated out of the blue, the three had been sitting in companionable silence for what seemed like hours after running out of stuff to talk about.
"Yeah, so?" Elladan asked
"I don't really…like the dark."
"Yeah well it's not dark yet is it so there's no need to worry." Lindir told him, lying back. Elrohir just sat there looking nervous.
"Okay, I'm sorry I had a go at you for telling me not to give my brother pot, your right it was stupid."
"And I'm sorry I tried to tell you how to look after your brother."
"Oh and I'm sorry for bringing up your family and how they hate you and stuff."
"And I'm sorry I swore at you."
"And I'm sorry I-"
"Okay! Your both sorry, I think we get the picture, now give each other a hug and lets forget this EVER happened."
Legolas stood up from his position on the floor and stretched his legs, "Well that took a hell of a long time. Which way is it back to the others Hal."
"What do you mean? You're the one who said your wood elf senses would lead us back to them." Mel said
"I just said that so I could get you two to stop arguing!"
"You mean we're lost!"
"Haldir you're the one who lives here!"
Haldir gave a nervous laugh, "Oh right yeah…well then…this way." He walked off past a tree and the next thing Mel and Legolas heard was an almighty SPLOSH
"HALDIR!"
Thinking he was in trouble the two ran after their friend and ended up following Haldir in diving headfirst into a huge lake that seemed to appear out of nowhere.
"wow, I didn't know there was a lake here."
"HALDIR!"
It was almost pitch black when Elladan spoke, he had just been looking through his bag.
"Hey, marshmallows, I forgot I put those in there."
"Too bad we don't have a fire." Lindir said
"That's it!" Elrohir jumped up and snapped two low branches off of a twig, I'll make a fire, that'll make the dark go away!" He started rubbing the branches together, "You two make a pile of sticks and stuff."
"Come on Elrohir, do you really think you have a chance of making fire with two branches, I mean honestly, it's almost impossible." Elladan scoffed.
"DO IT!"
"okay."
Legolas: The funniest thing happened when we were trying to find the others - and when you've just been in a lake and are soked to the bone, funny is never bad - Haldir, Mel and me were just walking along when suddenly Mel was pulling us into a bush…of course that just meant that by the end of it we were both wet and covered in leaves too.
"Ouch, Mel what the hell."
"Out there…there's a…I saw a…."
Legolas: Turns out Mel is scarred of rabbits
"We never speak of this again." Mel said when the rabbit had left. Legolas just burst into laughter while Haldir looked slightly confused.
Mel: I don't know why they found it so funny. It's a real fear!
Haldir: I really don't get what happened there, it was like Mel was scared of rabbits or something.
"Ha! Look, I've done it! I've made fire! I knew I could do it!" Elrohir looked smug.
"El' your on fire!"
"What?"
"Your arm! It's on fire!"
"Oh yeah, so it is. Cool…I mean OH MY GOD!"
"Hey guys do you see that!"
"Hal, it's just smoke."
"Yeah but in the fairytales the lost, hungry travelers always followed the smoke and eventually they always found their way home." He grinned and started off towards the smoke.
"What kind of crappy fairytales did you read?"
"Hey your back!" Lindir grinned as three extremely wet, leafy elves came stumbling through the trees, but stopped smiling at the look on their faces, "What the hell happened!"
Legolas sat down beside Elrohir, "Oh you know fell into some into some lakes, got thrown into some bushes, the normal…and may I ask what happened to you?" The blond prince asked Elrohir while said elf tried to rap some of his friends lake-wet hair around his burnt arm.
"Set himself on fire" Elladan told them showing them the sticks and the packet of marshmallows.
"Oh, here" Mel grabbed a lighter out of his pocket and lit the branches. Elrohir just burst into hysterical laughter which kind of turned into hysterical sobs into Legolas' shoulder while the other two glared at the goth.
Mel feeling slightly uncomfortable under his friends glares just opened up the bag of marshmallows, putting one of a stick. "Marshmallow anyone?"
Mel: I thought they were actually gonna kill me!
Elrohir: Stupid Mel.
"Come on, I'm tired , lets go back." Elladan stood up, the six of them had completely demolished the marshmallows and had been sitting chatting,"Which way Hal."
"Umm…well-"
"-Oh god, I forgot, we're still lost aren't we!"
"Well not lost exactly…more…um…misguided."
"BY YOU!"
"So it's dark and we don't know where we are!" Lindir said.
"Oh, but I'm scared of the dark!" Elrohir started to panic, clinging onto Legolas' arm
"Oh God"
"What are we gona do!"
"Seriously guys we're stuck down a hole"
"Haldir, we're not stuck down a hole!"
"I know but it seemed like the thing to say"
"Dear gods, someone save us!"
"Elrohir your hurting me."
Haldir: I really don't know why they were so angry when we got home I mean everything was fine in the end, Orophin turned up and saved the day…course it turned out we were only a few meters away from the house and Orophin had herd us yelling but that's not my fault. How was I supposed to know where we were, I failed Geography! And it's not like it was a really bad day…aside from the huge argument with Mel…and falling in the lake…and Elrohir setting himself on fire. Oh well, there's just no pleasing some people.
