Hello! Here's the new chapter. Sorry it took me so long to get it up but I've been busy and now I'm trying to get sick ant that makes things worse. Hopefully the next chapter will be up soon.
Chapter 5
"Well, now we know how we got here."
It was two days later that Tie and Cora arrived in Rivendell with the rest of the hobbits, traveling at a much easier pace and being able to rest the whole of both nights without fear of the Wraiths' pursuit. They walked through the streets of Rivendell until they came to the House of Elrond, a large manor at the center of the elven city.
After inquiring as to Frodo's health, they were all given rooms for their stay in Rivendell and told that when Frodo was awake they would be informed. That was fine by most of them but Sam, devoted to the end, who insisted on being by Frodo's side until he woke. The rest of the group was more than happy to retire to their rooms (after being feed of course), and sleep warm and comfortable for the first time in days.
Tie and Cora both woke, each in their own perspective room, the next morning to find that their wardrobe had taken a definite turn to the better. On a small table near the dresser in each of the rooms held a small pile of clothing. Tie found a long dark blue tunic, with wide sleeves and open collar, and a pair of dark woodland green trousers. Cora found a pale blue, high collar shirt, with pearl buttons at the collar and wrists, and black trousers. Both found wide leather belts to secure the trousers at their waist, and light elvish cloaks both dark brown, and leather high boots that rose to mid-calf and tied tightly about the ankle.
After dressing Cora went to see Tie in her room and they sat talking on the balcony for half the morning. The journey to Rivendell had forced both to see things not as a movie in which they played a part but now saw it as a truth that they must accept if they were to find a way home, though home wasn't that high up on their priority list. It was Tie that looked down into the manor courtyard and saw men riding in.
"Cora look," she said pointing down. "The council is arriving." Cora stood from where she had been seated and looked down over the railing. The girls watched as the council members all rode in. Tie had to fight from screaming when Cora squeezed her arm, cutting off the circulation, as Legolas rode into the courtyard. After all of the members had arrived, Cora turned to Tie.
"Let's go to the dinning hall," she said, her voice eager. "It's getting rather late and I'm hungry." Tie snorted at her.
"No you're not," she said her voice ringing with laughter. "You're just hoping to catch a glimpse of Legolas."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Cora gave Tie an innocent look that wouldn't fool a blind man.
"Oh sure, you're right. I forgot. You're not looking for him; he's looking for you, his bride." Cora shoved at Tie playfully and they laughed.
The girls did eventually leave for the dinning hall; both overcome by hunger and curiosity. They didn't, however, see anyone that they had hoped. They actually ran into, literally, Gandalf. He smiled down at the girls, and they apologized and introduced themselves to the elder wizard.
"Hello, hello," he said smiling down at them. "I'm glad to see that you've finally made it." Their jaws dropped as Gandalf winked and walked away. They stood speechless for a moment where he had left them, and then Tie turned to Cora after a moment.
"Well, now we know how we got here."
"Think we should ask him why he brought us?" Tie asked as she watched the wizards retreating back.
"Think he would tell us if we did?" Cora retorted as she turned to find a seat. Tie shrugged.
"Probably not."
So, did you like it? I know it's a really short chapter, but the next one should be better. Well please Review, so I can know how I'm doing.
