A/N: I really appreciate all of the reviews that you guys have given me! It really makes me want to go at this story full tilt!
By the way, you know I mentioned using the reviews as wallpaper? Well, I consulted with a fashion designer and I believe the exact words I got were, "That was so last year!" So, I don't want to disappoint anyone, but I don't think I will be using them after all!
Okay, well that is enough insanity. On with the story!
*~*~*
"Are we there yet? Can I drive? I'm hungry!"
I had recently made it my passion in life to be the biggest nuisance to them all that I possibly could. That, and Rocket Man was always one of my favorite movies... But that is not the point.
"Will you please stop that incessant whining?" asked Unic.
"I'm not whining! I am insulted that you would think some of my very simple questions and requests would be considered whining!"
"I am sorry, Lady. I did not mean to shame you."
"My God! What is with you people! Can't any of you take a little bit of teasing? I mean for crying out loud my neighbor would laugh at that and she does not have a sense of humor! Take out the sticks that are shoved up your asses! Live a little!"
Unic looked at me and then glanced over at the other Elves and gave them a look that plainly said, 'stay away from the crazy lady.'
Damn elf. But, you know, now that I think of it, he may have a point. I have done nothing but whine since they decided to take me to the 'All knowing person that I cannot pronounce her name.'
We continued to walk for awhile, when Unic, who was still walking beside me asked, "What is that around your neck? If you do not mind me asking, that is."
"Nah, it's all right. It's a camera. If I hit this little button," I showed him the shutter button, "it will flash and then imprint the picture in some paper-like material inside. In other words, whatever I point this little baby at and hit the button, I will have that picture forever. Do you understand?"
"No, I do not think so."
"Finally! A male that has enough, or maybe I should say, not enough pride to say something when he doesn't understand! It's a miracle!"
"Could you please explain yourself, dear Lady?"
"Sure. What I mean is that whenever I would explain anything 'weird' to the rest of my group, they would just nod and act like they knew what was going on. But, in reality, they didn't have the foggiest idea. They just wanted to act like they did know, because they didn't want to have to say that they did not understand something. All I meant by what I said, was that you are the first male, which I assume you are," he nodded in conferment, "in this world, to actually say that they did not understand something. I was just acting all amazed. So, do you understand now?"
"Yes, Lady, I do. Thank you for that, er, rather informative explanation."
I blushed, okay, I did warn you I was wordy. "Sorry."
"There is no need. I did ask, after all."
"True. Well, since you asked me a question, can I ask you something?"
"Yes, please do."
"Alrighty. I couldn't help notice that your name was Unic, not that anything is wrong with the name," I said quickly. "But, I was just wondering, why is your name so different from other Elf's names. I mean the normal ones seem to be words that I would never be able to pronounce. I have even wondered if the Elves can actually pronounce some of those. I mean, whoo-eeeh!"
"Yes, I agree, some of the Elves' names can get very length and difficult to pronounce."
"Good, I was wondering if I was the only one that noticed that. But, I guess when in Rome, do as the Romans do!" I said brightly.
"What is 'Rome' and who are 'Romans'?"
Great, it starts again!
"Erm, never mind." I said quickly. "But, how did you come by a name like 'Unic'?" Unic looked at me suspiciously.
"Oh, don't get me wrong, I really like your name. But, if you knew me more, you would realize that I can never keep my mouth shut."
"I see. But, my name. You have already realized that my name is not a normal Elvish name. You are correct in that assumption, it is not. My name is actually that of a human's. You see, my father was very good friends with a human man. He was one of the few Elves that would actually befriend the 'savages.' But, if you have not already guessed the name of my father's friend was Unic and my father named me Unic in tribute to his greatest friend, other than my mother of course."
"Of course," I agreed. "So, that is it? That's how you got your name?"
"Yes. It is highly unusual for Elves to name their children after a friend. I am one of the very few."
"Hmm, I didn't know that. I was named after my grandmother. Her name was Emily Ann. I'm Emily Lynn. So, yeah, you aren't the only one!" With that I started to sway violently. Unic leapt lightly to my arm and supported me until I regained the little balance that I possess.
"Are you all right, milady?"
"Sure, I think so anyway. But everything is going fuzzy and it feels like I was just spinning for a very long time. But, I wasn't. So what happened?"
"I do not know."
I brought my wounded hand up to my head. "Ugh, I just have this splitting headache to top it off. I don't suppose you would have any Tylenol or Aleve on you, would you?" I looked over at Unic and saw that he was staring at my mutilated hand.
"Yeah, well I have been getting that a lot. Is it just me, or is it turning green around the bandage?"
Unic looked up at me, "Can you not feel it? That should be hurting you horribly."
I laughed, "Hell, I haven't been able to feel it for, what? About three days? I figure it's a perk. I mean why would I want to feel the pain? Besides, I am seriously thinking that is turning a nice shade of green, and a body part that is green has got to hurt like a mofo. I mean it's nature!"
I think I was just a wee bit delirious at this point. But, then again, that could just be me...nope, delirious!
"Come," Unic started to pull on my arm, "We must get you to the healer! You have lost too much blood. Hopefully they will be able to save your hand."
"Yeah, me too. But you know, I've heard they can do wonders with prothstetics these days." I just followed him as he began to push his way up through the group of Elves. Finally what he had been saying sunk in. "What the hell do you mean? They had better save it! Other wise I am going to kick their asses until they turn seven shades of blue!"
"Yes, yes, I believe that you would. Come now. Follow me," He then started to call up towards the beginning of the line. It sounded something like, "Haldir! Haldir! We must get the woman to the healers! She is fading quickly!" I think that is what he said, but I can't be sure, at this point I was just on this side of insane.
I felt tugging on my arm, but I just threw an ill-aimed punch over in the general area. Nope, didn't hit anything.
"Lady Emily Lynn, we must get you to the healers. Please, do not fight me!"
"Why are you calling me 'Emily Lynn'? It's just Emily!" I mumbled almost incoherently.
Unic looked at me, puzzled. "I thought you said that your name was Emily Lynn?"
"Nah! Lynn is my middle name. You don't use that when you address someone informally or hell even formally. People just tack it on to their names for it to look pretty!"
"I see."
We were still moving at a fast clip through the woods. I was barely staying on my feet. Finally after the seventh time I tripped and almost fell flat on my face, Unic stooped slightly and picked me up.
"Oh! I didn't know you cared! You big brute of a man, you!"
Unic's brow furrowed with worry, "Lady, please, fight it! You must stay conscious, at least until the healers can look at you!" I started to stick out my tongue and cross my eyes at him.
He slapped me lightly on my face, "Look at my face. Concentrate on it! What is your name?"
"Well duh! It's Emily! I've gotten Lady, ass-hole, bitch and a few others that I can't say right now for fear of scarring you for life and your prissy little-pointed ears, but yeah, that's what I have been called."
"I will ignore that last statement. What is your middle name?"
"My aren't we inquisitive," I giggled at my choice of words, "Why do you want to know?"
"I must keep you concentrating on the present. It could become very dangerous for you if you were to lose consciousness."
"Alrighty then. No need to get all pissy on me."
"I was not getting 'pissy' with you. I am merely concerned for you. Now, what is your middle name?"
"What's a middle name?"
*~*~*
A/N: Well? What did you think? I hope that is funnier, I certainly tried!
I would just like to let everyone know right now that if you would like a specific song put into the story just let me know. More than likely I will be able to work it in somewhere along the lines. Besides, I would really like your guys' imput, you have no idea how much that helps me out.
Well, this really sucks. I know that I was going to mention something else right now, but I can't remember. So hopefully I will remember by the time I post next. Other wise, who knows? The world could end!
Well, maybe not...
