A/N: That was the first half of the story. From here on now, as you can probably guess, Sarah and her friends will have no memory what so ever, of each other or of their past life. PuAHah, evil lil munchkin, aren't I ) Umm….I was afraid I'd get a little too sentimental with all that stuff because I really hate writing love stories, but lately, well, what can I say P ….
disclaimer I don't own anything, and Devonny belongs to the crazy guy over there that's grinning like a maniac!
Waking from a deep sleep, the girl looked around her. She was lying in the middle of a beautiful bed, in the middle of a beautiful room. She sat up and stretched, still looking around her. She had absolutely no idea where she was, but for the present time, she wasn't too worried. Climbing out of bed, she was still thinking about where she was when she caught site of a door just to the right. Curiously she opened the door and went inside, and almost squealed with delight because she had just discovered her bathroom. Straight away the bath was running and she went racing around to look for a towel and a change of clothes, with no luck with the latter, she decided she'd worry about the clothes later and she sat in the bath with a contented sigh as the steam and fragrances rose up around her.
It was some time before she sat up, wondering if she had momentarily fallen asleep. Her skin was just starting to wrinkle a little so she quickly jumped out and wrapped the towel around her. She walked back into her room wishing that she had found some clothes before, but the idea of a nice hot bath was too tempting. To her surprise, her bed had been made and there was some sort of gown lying on it. The soft material of the gown felt like gossamer silk beneath her finger tips so it wasn't long before she had put the gown on along with some undergarments she had found beside it. Her stomach grumbled. Grumbling herself, she went off in search of food, where ever that might be.
She had just rounded the corner of a long corridor when she almost bumped into somebody else. The stranger laughed presently as she unfolded her wings slightly to check that they were still ok.
"Hi, my name is Leah," she introduced. "What's yours?" Trying to think, she couldn't remember what her name was until suddenly, if a light had been turned on somewhere, she said,
"Sarah, sorry about that," and she laughed sheepishly. The other girl laughed as well.
"That's alright, the exact same thing happened to me just a few minutes ago. I bumped into this little hobbit guy, at least I thought he was a hobbit but now that I think about it, I'm not so sure…but anyway he asked who I was. Mental blank, and by the time I answered, he was already laughing at me. But not for long, I asked him what his name was and he couldn't remember, exact same thing!" The girl seemed happy enough to talk.
"Must be something in the water," replied Sarah as she grinned.
"Who knows, but I'm off to find myself some food!"
"In that case, I might join you, i'm starving!" Sarah said as her stomach grumbled again agreeing with her, so the two set off happily chatting away.
On the other side of the house, Elrond sighed slightly. Never had there been so much trouble in Imlardis, except for perhaps when his wife had been….but that was different still…anyway, he would just have to make sure everyone would be settled again, and then perhaps work out who they were, and what they would do here. Erestor obviously knew something about them because he often made comments about it, unlike his usual quiet self. But as their memories had been blanked out, Erestor probably wouldn't have any trouble with them what so ever. Now, if he could just think of a way to make sure that they wouldn't spend so much time with the twins, the Imlardis might be peaceful once more and with regards to that feast he had been preparing, he couldn't very well go on with it because they would have no memory of what they had done, and it wouldn't make sense to play a trick on them because of it, or rather, punish them he thought hurriedly to himself. He would only play tricks when he had lowered himself down to his sons' level, and hopefully, that wouldn't be anytime in the near future.
Before long, Sarah and Leah had bumped into another person. Giggling they casually introduced themselves and asked what his name was, hoping that he couldn't remember. Smoothly he answered,
"Kyo, my name's Kyo, nice to meet you" Looking slightly disappointed the girls said all that was needed leaving a slightly confused Kyo.
"Hm, I didn't think he would remember," said a miffed Leah.
"We have another chance coming up if that's any consolation," replied Sarah as she indicated at a person walking along the corridor in a daze. Once again, they introduced themselves and to their delight, the stranger stumbled in surprise and looked up at them.
"My name is um….." and she hesitated before saying, "Isabel"
"Isabel?" they asked simultaneously.
"Wait, no, Izzy, sorry about that," she said before hurrying off in the opposite direction.
"Well, I can't say much for her manners, but that's just given me a new idea, lets trick them into thinking their name is something else," Leah grinned mischievously. Sarah, grinning just as much nodded. The next person they bumped into didn't look as dazed as Izzy and he seemed almost surprised to see them.
"Good morning. My name is Leah and this is Sarah, what's your name?" As he paused for a second, this gave Sarah all the time she needed.
"It's Samuel isn't it? Or wait, wasn't it Greg?" Leah joined in by saying,
"Or maybe it's one of those more exotic names, Orlando, mmm or Timothy?"
"David, Jeremy, Jack or Geoffrey maybe?"
"Roger, Nicholas, Andrew or perhaps…..Jim?" Leah said as she tried to contain herself.
"I wish you no offence m'ladies, but those names are very strange to me. My name is Glorfindel," he conceded with a slight bow. As fate would have it, a servant ran past the little group before stopping to bow deeply to Glorfindel.
"My lord, there is a hobbit creating havoc in the kitchens. Say's his name is Jeff," Mentally cringing, Sarah and Leah excused themselves as politely as possible while Glorfindel followed the servant.
"Oh my god, he was a lord!" Sarah whimpered as she slapped her forehead.
"Right fools we made out of ourselves!" Leah agreed. The two looked at each other before bursting into a fit of hysterics.
"You shoulda seen your face when the servant bowed and addressed him?" Leah managed to say before dissolving into peels of laughter.
"I can't imagine it would have been worse then your face," Sarah retorted.
"Yes, well, your faces put together would have had even Lord Erestor laughing," a voice from behind them said.
"Although that hasn't been too surprising as of late," came another voice. Turning around, Sarah and Leah saw two identical twins. Deciding not to take their chances they bowed hastily and said in unison,
"My lords,"
"My my, we still have a lot to learn I see," Said one of the twins with a grin.
