Berethor was very handsomely dressed, his dusty hair slightly in his eyes, which gave off a pleasant, shady appearance. Vardahir smiled and then turned to Brandy, who was giving her the you-better-speak-first look. Vardahir smiled and turned back to Berethor.
"So...How are you?" Vardahir sighed.
"Good..." Berethor seemed just as speechless. "And you?"
"FINE!" The words stumbled out. "F-Fine! Brandy and Dandy--I mean Danny were just visiting!" she grinned slightly to cover up her embarrasment.
"Oh, I see," Berethor seemed slightly uneasy. Maybe it was the fact that Danny and Brandy were there. Vardahir motioned to the two,
"Uh...guys?" She asked politely.
"Uhm, yes?" Danny was fiddling with his hat again.
"Could you guys, um..." She motioned with her hands for them to leave. Brandy smiled. Vardy wanted her privacy.
"What?" Danny was still confused. Brandy shook her head in awe at Danny's confusion.
"We'll..uh..go out and get you guys some water!" Brandy grabbed Danny by the shirt collar and drug him out the door, and shut it behind them.
"She didn't say she was thirsty!" Danny said objectively. Brandy smiled. Danny was so innocent at times...
Berethor sat on the bed puzzled.
"whats wronge Vardahir. Is it about the wedding?" he asked. She looked at him and shook her head.
"It is. I don't think we should right now. I mean I want to some day..just not right now. Don't you agree?" She said sitting beside him on the bed. He sat there. Then a look came upon his face.
"I just thought you wanted to" he said getting up from the bed and walking to the door. She got up quickly and followed him. "No, just let me be for now. We'll talk later." he said opening the giant door. Vardahir stood there. She didn't know what to say or do. She motionless. " I'm not mad at you darling. I just need some time to think this over ok." with that he walked out the door. When he turned the corner he ran into Brandy and Danny. They had been listening the whole time to what they had to say. Berethor just smiled and walked away. Danny laughed and got up on his feet. Brandy just sat there.
"Help me up you!" she said putting out her hand.
Danny hoisted Brandy off the floor, just in time to see a teary eyes Vardahir stumble past them and go into the opposite direction of where Berethor had gone. Brandy followed her to the window at the end of the hall. She saw Vardahir was crying.
"What's wrong?" She asked softly.
"I just...nothing," Vardahir replied quickly. She was so confused right now.
"Oh," Brandy sighed, knowing Vardahir wouldn't say what she truly felt now.
Suddenly Berethor and Danny were both running up to them. Brandy looked as if to say something, but she was broke off. Danny grabbed brandy and the two were thrown to the ground. Berethor grabbed Vardahir's arm and pushed her to the floor, where he lay next to her.
"What are you doing?" Vardahir yelled. Her tears had dried up now.
There was a loud explosion and several large rocks flew through the windows crashing into the wall behind them. Vardahir's mouth was frozen in shock.
"Danny heard the cannons firing," Berethor gasped, staring at her. "We had to get you out of the window."
Brandy smiled and hugged Danny in a cheerful manner. "You saved us? Oh, Danny!"
Danny blushed as she hugged him and Vardahir smiled slightly, then suddenly frowned.
"Wait, that means we're..."
"Under attack, yes," Berethor said gravely.
Vardahir gasped and turned from him, as she did the words slipped from her mouth,
"Dad."
Vardahir watched as dust filled the hallway and the room below. She looked out the window to see the waters by Osgilioth filled with black ships. She turned to Danny, who was shakey.
"Danny, it's not orcs. It's pirates!" Vardahir said as she held onto his shoulder. He looked at her then looked out the broken glass window.
"Oh my gosh. We've gotta find a way to get down there." he said getting up slowly. He helped Brandy up and smiled at her. Berethor got up and helped Vardahir. "The only question is, is how?" he said scratching his head. Brandy grabbed his hand. Come on, we can do it together. She then led the group to the top of the marble stair case.
As they reached the front doors they heard a familiar scream. Vardahir's eyes began to widen. Before she thought about it she ran and bursted out the doors.
"Vardahir!" Berethor screamed. He ran after her, Danny and Brandy followed close behind. As they reached the White Tree there stood a pirate. Bernin was his name. He was short and fat. His hair was in dredlocks and his face was black with dirt and grime. His smile was mean and nasty looking. His teeth where jagged and black. There he stood holding Theodor by the throat, he was now turning pale and struggling to get away from Bernin. The pirate stood there and laughed. Danny and Brandy couldn't believe their eyes.
"NO!" Vardahir screamed. She started to run over to Theodor, but before she got to him she was oushed down by another pirate. He was nicer looking, yet evil as ever. His name was Fligg. He was younger than Bernin, yet had the same features. He laughed as Vardahir looked up at him. "What do you want?" she asked beginning to cry.
"You must be the lil princess we came for?" Fligg said kneeling down to her. She cocked her head back and spit in his face. He simply smiled and licked it off his hand. "Tasty" he said grabbing her by the hair. He pulled her up and laughed. Berethor drew his sword.
"Let her go you filth." He said threating Fligg. Fligg just smiled and turned away, still holding vardahir by he hair. She could nothing but scream and try to get free from his grasp. Brandy looked over to Theodor who was now not moving. Bernin had let him go and let him lay on the ground. She rushed to his side and noticed he wasn't breathing.
Sort of a cliffhanger, eh? LOL Well, that's all for this chapter! Til the next one,
Auzzie K and Romania Black bid thee good day!
