Chapter 2: To tell the truth or not to
I heard people talking and Riley growling. What was going on? That's when everything game back to me. Just a crazy dream. I think.
"Is she alive. Don't kill the dog. It's probably her pet by the way the dogs protecting her." I heard a beautiful voice it's was so enticing. Like honey almost but a little deep. Manly but soft but stern. I lifted my head slowly to look around. There was a pounding sensation in my head. I griped my head hoping it to go away. It subsided long enough for me to look around and see I was surround by elves. Most importantly Thranduil. A young more sweet looking Thranduil. He didn't look cold or hard. Like he did in the movies, like the world hasn't gotten to him yet. His icy blue eyes kind.
"Mellon nin are you alright?" He asked as he jumped from his horse to walk toward me only to have Riley jump in front of me and him and growl at him.
"Riley that's enough he's trying to help." I said in a stern voice pulling her to me. "sit!" she sat down and looked at me whining. "I think I hit my head. That's all." I said rubbing it more.
"May I take a look?" He asked as he looked cautiously towards Riley. I nodded knowing that it was the right thing to do. As a nurse it's better to have things checked rather than throwing it off. He walked slowly to me. "You have a very protective dog. Loyal. We have been here for maybe ten minutes before you woke up deciding what to do. She wouldn't let us anywhere near you." He smiled as he kneeled down and checked the back of my head.
"She's always been like that." I said in a proud tone. I petted Riley while she watched his ever move.
"Well your head looks fine. But I would recommend you see a healer." He then came in front of me and held out his hand to help me up. "What's your name and May I ask what happened?"
Debating on whether or not to tell him I looked at him cautiously. I took a deep breath and came to a decision. "Julie, May I talk to you and the king alone. Please I would like to keep this private and it is only right that I tell the king and you." He nodded looking curious and worried. I hope they wouldn't throw me in a cell or call me crazy and throw me out. They didn't have an extra horse so I ended up on the back of Thranduil's horse, while Riley was being held in-between me and him. She looked so uncomfortable but I knew she wouldn't be able to keep up on foot.
The forest was beautiful. The greens of the trees and the beautiful flowers. I watched the scenery pass by in a blur as we spend up. It was a 4 day journey before we arrived at the gates. I was exhausted and my butt and thighs hurt. We only stopped a couple times for Riley to go potty, get a drink and, me and riley at some lambas bread. We didn't stop to sleep as elves , they required very little sleep to go on. Although I was starting to feel tired.
We just arrived to Mirkwood when Riley tried to jump out of my arms. I kept a firm grip as we walked passed the giant doors. The only way in. I looked at the columned stairs and the beautiful lights that swept across the large area. I looked down to see we had stopped at what appeared to be stables. Thranduil slid off the horse first. So elegantly and graceful. I handed Riley to Thranduil as he was the only other one she would go near. I slid down the horse being careful my dress didn't slide up. I walked in a circle taking in all that I could. The stable was beautiful, with a wide variety of horses. I looked over to see Riley sniffing the stable boy and letting him pet her. I smiled she would do well here. I know what your thinking how am I so cool with this. I've read stories on fanfiction and I've always dreamed of this.
"We can head to talk to the king if you are ready." Thranduil said as he closed a door to a stable of his horse. I nodded feeling nervous. Worried about what would happen next.
"May I ask where to put my dog. Not sure about leaving her alone." I giggled out of nervousness. I looked at him pleading for a good answer.
"We can leave her with the stable boy it seems she has taken a liking to him." He said smiling at Riley who is now playing catch with the boy. I nodded thinking that would be ok. The prince told the boy to watch over Riley while we were gone. We would come back for her.
"Thank you." I spoke feeling less nervous than a couple minutes ago. He nodded his head and we made our way towards what I would assume the throne room. I looked down and realized the thin structured walkway was way scarier than I was hoping. I stepped carefully making sure I wouldn't fall. I took this time to check out my rescuer. Yeah I know lame but he's Thranduil and I don't think I really need to explain anymore. That says it all.
He had removed his armor and was now in a fine silver robe that had gold stitching of leaves on it. He was very tall, oh lord. His beautiful white blonde hair flowed graciously behind his back. No flaws.
We arrived to the throne as I expected. The king in his throne talking to a servant I assume. Thranduil bowed his head in respect and moved to his fathers side.
"King Oropher! It is such a pleasure to meet you." I gave my best curtsy as I greeted him. He smiled a kind smile as his son relayed how he found me.
"Yes my dear, may I ask who you are and what happened?" Wow very blunt. But he looked kind.
"Oh I'm so sorry, your majesty. I'm Julie and to be quite honest I don't know." I say in a unsure voice fidgeting with my hands. I look up to see both of them give confused looks. "You see, now please hear me out this is gonna sound crazy. Well I come from a different world where this place is nothing but a story. And let me just say I'm a giant fan," I give a nervous laugh and I don't look up scared to see there reaction. " well that's beside the point, I had a hard life…" oh no, my mom. I started hyperventilating. How could I forget about her.
"Child are you alright?" the king asked worriedly as he walks up me placing his hand on my shoulder. "Breath child." He says. "get the healer!" He says to someone.
"My mom." I said as I tried to breath. There's nothing I could do. She's going to rehab. She's in good hands for now. I can't worry about this. She will be fine. After a good 20 minutes I'm able to calm down.
"I'm so sorry my king. I just have a lot on my mind. But it's only right you know everything. I'm alright now. Would you like me to finish?" I asked apologetically. He nodded looking at my worriedly. "Ok well I'm from a world totally different… like I said, taking care of my Ill mother. Well I wasn't treated the best by her. Well one night me and Riley my dog where sitting in my room watching the stars when I saw a shooting star. I made a wish to be happier and in a better place… I was human. Well I went to sleep and woke up here realized what happened and passed out hitting my head. And that's how your son found me. I promise I'm not crazy." I said silently praying he didn't throw me out of his realm.
