"So, should we wait for the others?" Sarah asked her two companions.
"Probably. Jeff is waiting for Izzy isn't he?" asked Glorfindel.
"Yeah, that's right!" she replied so the three elves stopped and waited for the others to catch up.
"Sarah!...How's it going mate?" asked Kyo enthusiastically when he caught up to Sarah. Sarah laughed.
"I take it you're excited," she replied.
"You betcha. I haven't been this excited since your cousin was about to bash my cousin!"
"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight…."
"Umm…Sarah, can I talk to you for a sec?" asked Izzy quietly.
"Sure thing," Sarah replied as Izzy led her off to the side.
"Umm, I'm not sure if you know, but Jeff actually wants to meet you. Not me. That note at dinner was intended for you."
"Serious? It's a good thing it went to you then!" Sarah jokingly replied. Izzy hit her on the arm.
"So, we better both meet Jeff then, you know..?"
"Ok then. And I have a question for you,"
"Fire ahead,"
"Do you like Glorfindel?"
"Glorfindel, what!...Are you joking!...Yes," Sarah just nodded and then motioned to walk back. She and Izzy quietly explained to the others that they were both going to meet Jeff.
"Why? Watchu gonna do that for?" asked Leah.
"Yes. Didn't Jeff only want to meet Izzy?" Elladan asked. Izzy and Sarah just shrugged.
"Fine then," said Kyo, "But I bags the window curtains!" Everyone laughed and then hurried along to the corridor. Kyo and Leah hid behind the curtains while Erestor, Glorfindel, Elladan and Elrohir opened a near by window and stepped out onto the small balcony and Sim hid in the archway. Izzy and Sarah weren't sure what to do. About a minute later, they heard footsteps. Sarah pretended to inspect a painting, and Izzy pretended to look outside. Jeff appeared. When he saw Izzy and Sarah, a huge grin also appeared on his face.
"So you are here as well Sarah. Smart, smart girl!" Sarah just rolled her eyes.
"Listen to my conditions. You will obey them, unless you would like the whole household to know your dirty little secret!"
"Oh please, don't hold back!" Izzy replied sarcastically.
"Of course not, Izzy dearest! Here they are. If I ask you to do something, you must do it, with no complaints what so ever, you will bring my breakfast into my room each morning, personally, you will tell the others that you do all that only for the simple fact that…I, Jeff, could charm the spots off a leopard and last, but not least…no, definitely not least…you know those herbs that you…'accidentally' gave to me? I want you to put them into Elrohir's drink tomorrow night, as pay back for what he did to me! Put say…a year's worth of herbs in!" That last statement certainly caught Elrohir's attention as he waited outside listening to the proceedings.
"Let's have some fun," he whispered to his brother, Glorfindel and Erestor. Izzy and Jeff started arguing about the consequences of such a trick. Sarah looked around in a bored manner and decided to look for everyone. Everyone were hidden pretty well. Sarah looked outside, and then remembered that the three elves were outside. She looked there for a while and was just about to look away when a head popped up. It was Elrohir. Trying to suppress a grin, Sarah strained her eyes. Elrohir was mouthing something to her. What was it now? He started pointing to Jeff…and then to his eyes, then him. Finally Sarah understood and she nodded.
"Hey ummm…Jeff. Do you think the moon looks bigger here than it did at home?" Jeff and Izzy just looked at her dumbly. Sarah raised an eyebrow.
"Well arr.." and Jeff looked outside. "It does loo...wAh!" Jeff stopped. It was at that moment, when he was looking outside, something floated past. Izzy caught on.
"That reminds me of how the ghosts float ey Sarah?" she asked.
"Sure does, but I can't be too sure. Wanna check it out Jeff? That is of course, if you're not scared?" Sarah and Izzy sniggered. That did it. Jeff started moving uncertainly up to the window. As he got closer, he got more confident.
"It was only an ow.." He stopped. Another head with a gruesome facial expression floated past smoothly. Jeff certainly saw it this time. He was standing the, unsure what to do, when another head this time floated past. The thing was, you couldn't see the face properly because it was dark, and the moon behind it silhouetted it. This head this time was staring right at Jeff, and it slowly lifted a ragged hand up and pointed to Jeff. Jef screamed and ran back behind Izzy and Sarah.
"Diidyu…Didyouseethat!" he whispered.
"Huh, see what?" they asked.
"That…that…those horrible things!"
"No Jeff, what you been on. You're hallucinating!" they replied. Leah tried to get closer to the three so she could here better, but she accidentally tripped on the hem of her white dress and fell forward. Jeff, hearing that quickly whirled around. Leah, sensing that all would be lost if she didn't act quickly started crawling towards Jeff, dragging her whole body on the floor and occasionally lifting her hand up to point at him. She cried out in a wraspy voice,
"Seven…days….seven..days!" Jeff screamed,
"Sa..sa….Sadako!" He turned to his left, and saw a door there. He vainly tried to open up the door, but couldn't. Unbeknown to him, Glorfindel was now on the other side holding it fast. Defeated, Jeff turned around. Suddenly the curtains near the window started moving slightly, and choking noises made their way to Jeff's ears. Jeff, in pure fear, turned back to the door, and pushed with all his might. Expecting the door to hold, Jeff was extremely surprised when it gave way, and he toppled into the dark room. Glorfindel silently snuck out of the room, and closed the door behind Jeff as Jeff ran back to the door…and started hitting. Everyone jumped out of their hiding spaces, and quietly ran away as Sarah and Izzy collapsed on each other trying their best not to laugh out aloud so that Jeff would hear. What made things even more hilarious was the fact that Jeff was still banging on the door, screaming to be let out while not realizing that the door hadn't been locked. Footsteps echoed along the corridor in the distance, and Sarah and Izzy looked at each other in despair, not knowing which way to run.
"Pssst. Over here!" The two turned around and saw Elladan and Elrohir beckoning to them. They were about two metres off the ground, leaning out of a cavity in the wall, and a painting used to be. Rushing over, Izzy and Sarah let themselves be pulled up into the cavity by Erestor and Glorfindel as Elrohir and Elladan worked at trying to put them painting back over the hole.
"Shhh. Don't make a sound or else Lord Elrond will know we are here!" warned Glorfindel.
"How did…" but Glorfindel cut Izzy off by putting a finger to his lips. Izzy nodded. Slowly, the footsteps grew louder and so did Jeff's cries for help. Jeff was so desperate, he was calling out in any language he knew, which included quite a few Chinese dialects, Japanese, Italian, Spanish and Swedish. The footsteps became more hurried and finally, they stopped, where everyone guessed where Jeff was behind the door. Elrond knocked uncertainly on the door. Much to his surprise, Jeff knocked back. Elrond knocked again, but this time, Jeff called out,
"What's the secret password?" Elrond sighed and opened up the door.
"Jeff, pray what brings you here, screaming out in the middle of the night?"
"Arr…mister Elrond sir. Sorry, I thought you were Sarah or Izzy!"
"And why would that be?" Knowing that some extremely embarrassing events could occur if he told Elrond why, Jeff said,
"Umm…because I thought I saw them before, yeah, that's it!"
"Right young sir, but I think it would be best for you to go to bed now, and we discuss what happened tonight in the morning."
"Yessir!" replied Jeff as he scurried off.
That's what happens when you mix flat coke with dried noodles! Rosie nods wisely to herself That's all from me, adieu!
