The Manic Adventure Of Sam, Zee, and Jackie

Chapter 9: Killer Zee & Lindir's Infatuation

After the girls were rounded up Arwen happily led the girls to the elvish training ground to meet an elvish warrior who Elrond enlisted in helping the girls. Zee was the one who wasn't exactly happy about training since she was still totally hung over but Arwen promised that Zee would feel better if she trained.

"So I take it that neither Thorin nor Fili are aware of this." Zee stated as they approached the training arena. It was obvious that Sam was trying to keep this a secret seeing how she and Arwen were looking for the dwarves.

Sam shrugged and continued looking past corners. "Gandalf encouraged secrecy about this. He promised that he'd tell Thorin eventually."

"And eventually meaning..?" Jackie asked, slightly worried by what the wizard intended.

"Sometime after we've already been taught." Sam told her, the coast was clear so they hurried to the training arena. "If the dwarves find out soon they'll forbid us to even leave our rooms alone."

Zee agreed with Sam there, the dwarves would totally go to extreme lengths to make sure they were not confronted by elves. Ever again."I can so see it, especially you Sam." Since the pale girl was Fili's One there was no doubt that Fili would have her guarded heavily if word got out.

"Don't remind me." Sam huffed a bit, she knew what would happen if Fili found out that she was already lying to him and she would greatly prefer to not let that happen.

"We've arrived." Arwen announced softly to the group as she opened the door, "Just stay here and I will find Hérion."

"Alright." The girls waved to Arwen and decided to explored the large room that was the training arena. It was impressive, a large room with walls covered in elvish weapons and the weapons varied in sizes and types of all sorts.

"I feel like this is some sort of dance studio just with weapons." Zee said as she and the girls looked around.

Sam took a glance at the bows, "Hey Zee, I think you could learn archery too if you want."

Zee shook her head, "If Kili found out he'd be booty tickled and we're tempting fate as is." Zee already had the most dramatic scene played out in her head of what was gonna happen.

Sam shrugged, "Alright." She continued to look at the weapons on the walls and suddenly inspiration struck her. She knew that in Frozen Elsa could create clothes with her ice, she even made her sister a pair of ice skates! Surely Sam could create the same with a little effort!

Why not have a little fun too! Sam thought evilly to herself as she decided to go ahead and give it a shot. Sam made sure Zee and Jackie weren't looking, if they saw what she was gonna do the whole thing would be ruined.

First thing first, she needed to know if she could do it at all. Sure, she used her powers during the fight with the trolls but that was different. She was under pressure and her adrenaline was going then. Now she wasn't even on alert for trouble, past the dwarves, so how was she gonna do things.

Taking in a deep breath, Sam extended her right hand over the floor and, after double checking that her friends weren't looking her way, flicked it toward her feet. A small burst of ice shot out and froze the floor just a small bit.

A small smile spread on Sam's face and she turned toward her two unsuspecting victims. Both happened to be discussing a rather intimidating display of elvish swords when Sam decided to freeze the entire floor. Being so occupied with the display, the duo didn't realize what Sam had done until they tried to walk away, slipping in the process.

"The fuck?!" Zee screeched as she tried to stay on her feet, Jackie had already saw that it would be futile to even bother so she already had chose to sit instead of fight with gravity. "Sam, what did you do?!"

Sam only covered her mouth and laughed as Zee slipped and landed on her butt. That was honestly a better show than she had anticipated. "Sorry, couldn't help it." It was such a good thing that Sam was on the other side of the room.

"Unfreeze the floor!" Zee barked at her, "Or, so help me, I will kill you!"

Sam smiled cheekily, "And how will you do that, you can't even walk on your own two feet." Sam eyed Zee knowingly and added, "Not to mention that I never got payback for your sleepy talk and drunk episode."

"Oh come on!" Zee growled at Sam angrily while Jackie just innocently sat beside her, "Samantha you better fucking unfreeze the floor!"

Sam only hummed happily to herself and skated a bit in her little safe zone, for someone who's never ice skated in her life Sam was doing mighty well. She was sort of testing Zee's temper and it was so not a good idea.

"Damn it Sam!" Zee tried to stand again but slipped, almost falling in the splits position. "I mean it Sam!" When she really started to get mad at Sam an arrow shot toward Sam, almost hitting the girl.

"Whoa!" Sam barely managed to move out of the way, she wasn't unscratched though. The arrow managed to cut Sam's arm. "Hey!"

Zee, seeing what happened, gasped and tried to figure out what had happened to cause that. No one, but themselves, were there so how could that had happened?

"I can't believe you Zee!" Sam snapped as she held her cut, "You did that you brat!"

"I wha...?" Zee didn't believe she did that, after all that would be a bit much for her to try to hurt Sam like that. "No way...Did I?"

"I think you did Zee." Jackie said as she scooted herself toward Sam on the other side of the room. "I saw it levitate as you got mad."

"Well why didn't you say anything?" Zee asked, even though the arrow flying was her fault Jackie was now her accomplice in the crime. "I cannot be held entirely responsible!" As Zee spoke, another arrow shot toward Sam.

"ZEE!" Sam, luckily, managed to block the accidental attack by burning it with her fire. "What is wrong with you!?"

"I don't know!" Zee panicked a bit, when another arrow tried to hurt Sam Zee threw her arms up and said. "Okay, I'm going to a corner! No one bug me!"

When Arwen and Hérion arrived at the training arena they found Zee in her corner, arrows scattered everywhere, and Sam and Jackie hiding in a small ice fort.

"What in Middle-Earth..?" Hérion muttered to himself as the two elves examined the damage, "What could they have done in such a small amount of time?"

"It seems that one might have lost control of her powers." Arwen assessed as she looked around, she knew the only two who could have made the mess were Sam and Zee but since the ice and arrows were scattered about it looked like they had a small battle.

"Arwen!" Sam and Jackie called to the elf princess, both were a bit panicked and relieved that Arwen arrived with Hérion. Hopefully he could put an end to Zee's shooting! "Save us!"

"What happened?" Hérion asked as they approached the ice fort.

"I only meant a harmless little joke," Sam explained as she hesitantly peeked at the two elves, "then there were arrows being shot at me! Zee wants to kill me!"

"I didn't mean to!" Zee, literally, shot back at Sam, Sam barely was quick enough to dodge the shot."Sorry!"

"See!" Sam cowered behind her fort, "I am not coming out until she is dealt with!"

Hérion glanced over at Zee and sighed, "This will take more work than I presumed." He made his way over to Zee, taking note of the damage done to the room. "I feel that you will be the one to need the most training."

"I think so too.." Zee admitted as she inspected her own chaos, "So...Elrond won't need to be informed right?"

Hérion gave her a laugh, "I suppose if the damage isn't as bad as it looks." He looked around to emphasis his point that the arena was rather horrible to look at now.

"I'll unfreeze everything." Sam said as Arwen tried to coax her and Jackie out from their fort, "But, I need assurance that she won't try to kill me anymore."

"I think I should train this girl first." Hérion told Arwen as the princess still tried to get the others out, "Let the other two go for today, their friend needs all attention from me at this moment."

"Freedom!" Sam ran out of her fort and scrambled to the door, she briefly left but returned just as quickly, "Oh yeah, forgot." With a wave of her right hand, the ice disappeared and so did Sam.

"Well that was easy." Zee grumbled as Jackie finally also left to follow Sam to whatever new sanctuary there was for them, "I feel so incredibly insulted."

Arwen merely shook her head and began to take her leave, "I noticed Sam had a small flesh wound, I'll have healers look at her." With that she left to find the other two girls who so quickly left. "They shouldn't be hard to find."

Arwen was correct about finding the duo, Sam was complaining about the small wound Zee gave her as it was a bit deep. After getting the girl to a healer before any the dwarves could see her, Sam was allowed to return to wandering the halls.

Sam wandered about, not intending on finding any company when Lindir suddenly stopped her.

"Hello fair lady." Lindir smiled, Sam never saw Lindir smile and frankly, it bothered her.

"Uh," Sam felt uncomfortable in the elf's presence, "hi?"

Lindir seemed uncomfortable too but not in the same sense as Sam, "I was hoping to learn more about your wonderful friend..."

"Wonderful friend?" Sam asked, who the hell was he talking about? "Uh, who would that being?"

"Zee." he stated, "I was informed that she was courting."

Sam kept her mouth shut, Zee certainly was not courting but if this dude was all in love with her than she could see what happened. "Yeah...why?"

"I was wondering if there was a way for me to win her over her consort." He asked eagerly, scaring Sam even more. "I wish to win her heart."

Sam looked at him like he was a total idiot and shook her head, "You're living in a delusional fantasy, Zee's wouldn't even like you."

"How would you know?" Lindir asked, he was slightly offended but Sam didn't care .

"I'm her sister-from-another-mister." Sam told him angrily, "Dude, she's happy where she is so just leave her be." Sam walked away, definitely not caring if she came off as rude.

However, Lindir was not finished with interrogating Sam and stopped her by grabbing her shoulder. "Do you mean she is a bastard?"

Sam gasped in utter insult, "Excuse yourself?" Sam got in his face and defended her friend's honor, "First of all, if any of the three of us were a bastard child, it's me. Second, don't you ever speak of my friend like she was a dirty, old rag. Lastly, don't you ever touch me again!"

Lindir was about to argue with her but then Kili appeared from behind the elf. "I'd let her go if I were you Elf!"

Sam happily gasped, for once she was happy to see Kili but Lindir was undeterred by the dwarf's presence.

"This doesn't concern you dwarfling." Lindir told Kili, earning a dark glare from Sam and Kili. Seeing how he was bound to be her brother-in-law, Sam knew she had to defend his honor at times too. So, she decided to kick Lindir in the shin.

"Don't you ever insult Kili or any of my friends again you jackass!" Sam snapped as the elf crumbled to the floor in pain. "I thought Thorin had no right to mistreat you elves but I guess I was so wrong!"

Sam was getting rather worked up over Lindir's nosiness so she hurried off to another hallway, followed by Kili.

"Sam, wait up!" Kili called as she hurried off, "Sam, calm down."

Sam eventually did stop and angrily kicked a wall, "Who the hell does that!? Even for a fucking elf!" She paced around a bit before finally calming down.

"You gave him a good kick though." Kili said to cheer her up, "If he can still walk it's gonna hurt!"

Sam kind of laughed, "Yeah, I guess." Sam sighed but she seemed a bit bothered about something. "How long were you there?"

"For the whole argument." Kili admitted a bit nervously, "...Are you really a bastard child?"

Sam sighed heavily, "Yeah, what about it Kili?" She figured that in Middle-Earth that an illegitimate child was bad but she was so use to being a bastard and everyone back home was just about a bastard too.

"Well, I think that would anger Thorin if he found out." Kili muttered a bit, he was afraid of Thorin finding out because that would ruin any chance of Fili and Sam getting married. "Maybe you should have kept that to yourself."

"Maybe." Sam agreed with a groan, "But come on, I'm happy my mom never married my dad."

Kili gave Sam a weird look, "I'm sure you have a reason but let's not discuss it." Knowing that he now held information that would break his brother's heart he added, "I won't tell anyone about this, I want Fili to be happy."

Sam smiled at Kili, "Thanks Kili, I appreciate it."

"As well as the fact you're taking lessons from the elves."

Sam choked on her own saliva, "H-How did you-?"

"I followed you. " Kili smiled smugly at her, "Thought you were sly huh?"

Sam smiled a bit sheepishly and let out a soft chuckle, "Yeah, I really did." She really should have guessed that Kili would find out, throughout the weeks she did note that he was particularly nosy in her business.

"I was looking for you originally." Kili admitted with a grin, "I happened to notice you following the princess like little bandits, as uncle would say."

Sam laughed, "Yeah well, give me a reason to think that was foolish."

"I have none." Kili said, he wasn't bothered by the fact the girls were seeking help for their powers because he knew that none of the dwarves would be able to help and Gandalf would be busy. Even though he held little respect for elves he knew when to give them credit.

"So you have two of my dirty secrets." Sam stated a bit nervously, "Please promise me that you won't tell Thorin or anyone for the matter. Gandalf promised that he would do that."

Kili smiled and nodded, "As I heard you and Zee say, my lips are sealed."

Sam giggled at Kili, it sounded so weird for her to hear him talk like her and her friends. At the same time, she was grateful that he was learning so she wouldn't have to explain for him. "Thanks Ki-Ki."

"Ki-Ki?" Kili asked, a playful grin on her lips, "Is that a nickname, like you and the other two have?"

Sam nodded her head, "Yup, you're new name is Ki-Ki and that's all I'm ever gonna call you unless I have reason to call you Kili."

Kili loved the new name, "So would Fili's nickname be Fi-Fi?"

"Maybe." Sam had two for Fili, Fi-Fi and Fiwi, Kili had the same too but she figured she'd use the Kiwi name when she wanted to embarrass him. "But I'm sure whatever I call him he's gonna tell me to stop."

"I know what you mean," Kili laughed, "He takes the whole heir thing seriously though you wouldn't think that at first glance."

Sam could believe that, she had seen him talk about his role and she had to bite her lip to keep from laughing because of his description of royal events where he would have to dress regally. He always sounded like he looked forward to it and dreaded it at the same time.

"I suppose we should move to somewhere more public." Kili said as he heard Fili calling for Sam in the distance, "Fili gets worried easily."

"Yeah okay." Sam smiled as she followed the dwarf away from the hall, "So you still hold your promise?"

"I would throwing away my honor if I let you down." Kili told her as they walked, "My promise stands high and tall." They both just passed a corner when they found Fili walking in a garden in search for Sam.

"Kili, Sam." Fili said as the two whistled at him from a railing, "How long have you been there?"

"Just a mere second brother." Kili told the blond, "I say you look flustered dear brother."

Kili was right, Fili's face was blushing just a bit. "He's right Fili, what's up with you sweet-pea?" She asked sweetly. Fili blushed even more but Sam nor Kili care, they were having fun toying with the shining heir.

My internet has returned! FINALLY! Also I kind just pissed off my older brother. Ya see, he recently just broke up with his GF (She dumped him) and now she's trying to get back together via Instagram. She wrote him back this sob story message and I, truly out of confusion cause he also mentioned his friend Jose, asked, "Wait did Jose send that or Sarah?".

Yeah so I'm in trouble... ~Michelle Lacie Kat
