Blossoming of Love

Not gonna put reviewer response in this chapter but we love all you guys who wrote good stuff about us!

Jamie rode the horse quickly through the woods and dismounted before the horse had even stopped. She ran up to Jacklyn's room and burst through the door. Jacklyn jumped and looked at her panicked sister. She gave Jamie a look that clearly said 'what is it'?

"I…just...saw...someone goingthrough the forest." Jamie said, doubling over and holding her knees, trying to catch her breath.

Alatariel, Nienna. Galadriel's voice came through the girls' heads. Both looked up. I need you two. Please come to the mirror. Jamie looked at Jacklyn who nodded and they headed off. On the way there, they thought about their first arrival.

Flashback

(JAMIE'S POV)

I groaned then woke up, thinking I was going to find myself at the camp site. Well…I was wrong. I looked over and saw Jacklyn sitting up already and staring at Galadriel. I sat up and looked between my sister and my grandmother. I giggled at the thought causing Jacklyn to give me a look and making me stop.

"Ummm…ok so like…what's going on?" I asked.

"It is…a long story." Galadriel said.

"How about you just jump to the chase." I suggested. Galadriel gave me an odd look. "Uh…ok umm…just tell us the main story in short form."

"Alright." Galadriel said, smiling. She sat in front of us, surprising me with the fact that she was actually sitting on the ground and not some kind of throne or chair. "You two were born here…in Middle Earth…but because of the danger here and the magic you two posses…we…myself, Elrond and Gandalf…we decided to send you to Earth…for protection…until it was time for you to come back."

"Lot of good that did." I said. Galadriel looked at me. "Well…I've been hit by a car, fallen through ice into really cold water…"

"Jamie…Shh." Jacklyn said.

"Sorry." I said. "Please…continue."

"Yes well…I am terribly sorry for that Nienna." Galadriel said. I couldn't figure out why she kept calling me that but it seemed right somehow.

Present

Jamie and Jacklyn walked into the mirror to see Galadriel and Aragorn. Jamie received a pinch from Jacklyn and Jacklyn received one in return. They both looked at each other before looking back at their grandmother. Two years since they arrived and this was really the first exciting thing to happen.

"Alatariel, Nienna." Galadriel said, making both girls stand up straight. "This is Thorongil." Jamie opened her mouth to say something but Jacklyn stepped on her foot so Jamie stayed quiet. "Thorongil…these are my granddaughters." Aragorn nodded at them, Jacklyn nodded back then elbowed Jamie to make her stop staring and nod as well. "Will you girls bring him to the talan please?"

"Of course." Jamie said. Aragorn said his thanks to Galadriel then followed the girls. Jamie kept turning around to look at him until Jacklyn muttered to her to stop. Jamie pushed open the door to the talan and stood aside to let Aragorn go through first. The girls followed him inside.

Alatariel…come back to the mirror please. Galadriel's voice went through Jacklyn's head.

"Ja…uh…Nienna." Jacklyn said, making Jamie look at her with a raised eyebrow. "I must go…can you take care of our guest?"

"Of course Alatariel." Jamie said. Jacklyn said good bye to Aragorn before leaving.

(JACKLYN'S POV)

I walked back to the mirror and looked at Galadriel. "You called?" I asked.

"Yes…there is something you are to know." Galadriel said. I couldn't figure out if her tone was one of happiness or one of sadness.

"I am listening." I said.

"I think I should…jump to the chase." Galadriel said. I smiled at the memory of that practically being the first thing Jamie said to her. "At birth…you were Betrothed."

"To whom?" I asked.

"To the prince of Mirkwood." Galadriel said. "Prince Legolas Greenleaf." It took all my self control not to jump for joy. "He is on his way…as we speak…to meet with you." I smiled what must have been a very big smile because Galadriel was smiling in an amused way. I thought back to the time, after Galadriel explained our heritage to myself and Jamie.

Flashback

"Galadriel…there's going to be a war in fifty years." Jamie burst out. I rolled my eyes.

"What?" Galadriel asked. It was pointless to pretend now so I helped Jamie explain.

"We can't tell you everything…because that could change the future." I said.

"But we can tell you some things." Jamie said. "Like…there's going to be a council in Rivendell where nine people, an elf, a dwarf, two men, a wizard and four hobbits all become a fellowship in order to get rid of the ring."

"Now listen to me girls." Galadriel said. She looked urgent. "No one must know that you have knowledge of this information."

"But…" Jamie said, but was silenced by Galadriel raising her hand.

"You must listen Nienna." Galadriel said. Jamie sighed and nodded. I looked from her to Galadriel. "Until the time comes…you must not tell anyone about anything that happens in this war…or that there even is a war. Alatariel is right…too much information can disturb the flow of time." I heard Jamie sigh again. She never was good at keeping things like this to herself.

Present

Jamie had been good at keeping that information to herself…although it was only two years. There was still fear that she would creak soon and tell someone.

"When will Prince Legolas arrive grandmother?" I asked.

"Within the next few hours." Galadriel said. "You may tell Nienna now if you wish."

"Thank you." I said before hurrying off to find Jamie. I found her, talking elvish with Aragorn. He was much better at it and spoke quickly. Jamie, however, was newer at it and spoke slowly, thinking over her words. "Sister dearest." Jamie turned and looked at me. I could tell she was wondering why I had just called her the way I did. "We need to talk in our own talan."

(JAMIE'S POV)

When Jacklyn left I turned to look at Aragorn before sitting on a chair next to the bed. He sat on the bed and looked at me. That's all it was for about two minutes.

"How come I did not know about Elrond having daughters?" Aragorn asked, breaking the silence. I wasn't sure what to say so I just shrugged. "Where have you two been all these long years?" Ok now it was getting hard. Do I tell him the truth or lie to him? I figured half the truth would work.

"We were sent away…my sister and I." I said. "When we were born. We were sent to a different earth to life there as a way to protect us."

"I see that didn't work too well." Aragorn said, slightly amused. He nodded at my arm. I looked at it and saw the scars.

"You're right there." I said, smiling. "I think I'm in danger anywhere I live."

"Have you been in danger here?" Aragorn asked, this time sounding concerned.

"I've fallen down the stairs a few times." I said, laughing. Aragorn joined me in about a minute of laughing. "But…in the other world. I've had much worse accidents."

"Such as…" Aragorn promted.

"Such as…falling through ice…" I said. "Getting hit by a car…"

"A what?" Aragorn asked, looking extremely confused.

"Uh…never mind." I said. How could I have been stupid enough to mention a car? Ok so I mentioned it to Galadriel but obviously she knew there would be things in the other world that they didn't have here. I ran my hand through my hair, trying to think of something else to talk about.

"You aren't very fluent in elvish are you?" Aragorn asked suddenly.

"Not much…" I replied, slightly ashamed. "I've only lived here two years. I'm much better in the language of men."

"Ah…but you are elvish yourself." Aragorn said. I couldn't tell if he was mocking me or not. Damn these people and their single tone voices. "So you should be learning it rather quickly."

"That is why grandma has set up a certain amount of time each day for me and Alatariel to learn it." I said, defensively.

"I meant not to mock you." Aragorn said.

"Oh…"I said, truly embarrassed now.

"If you would like…I can help you." Aragorn said.

"I would like that very much." I said. So we spent the next ten minutes talking in elvish about things such as the weather, the forest animals…stuff like that.

When Jacklyn came in, I was truly disappointed to have to stop talking with Aragorn, but Jacklyn was my sister…and family came first. I said good bye to Aragorn then followed Jacklyn into our talan where she started jumping around like a girl who just found out her crush likes her back.

"Have you gone mad?" I asked.

"No…Legolas is coming!" Jacklyn squealed. I stared at her. She stopped jumping around and stood in front of me. "At birth…I was betrothed to him. Now he is coming to meet with me and should be here soon." I still stared at her before realization set in and I smiled and hugged her.

"Congratulations Jackie." I said. "I know how much you like him."

"And I know how much you like Aragorn." Jacklyn said. At this I blushed. "You two seemed incredibly friendly in there. Did I interrupt something?"

"No…we were just talking." I said. "He was helping me with my elvish. It's so not fair that he is better at it then I am. We're supposed to be the elves." Jacklyn laughed. I pouted.

"There there dear twin sister of mine." Jacklyn said. I looked at her. "We have an excuse. We've lived in a different world our whole lives. He was raised in Rivendell."

"Shut up." I muttered. "We should change for Legolas' arrival."

"Yes we should. Grandma is sending up some dresses and maids to help us." Jacklyn said. I made a face at the word 'dresses' but didn't protest. I figured I'd have to get used to it eventually. Two elves came in. The dress I was given was light blue, like the sky, and I instantly loved it…which was extremely rare.

When I was done changing, one of the maids helped with my hair but I refused her help with the make-up. I did my eyes with light shades of blue to go with the dress then did my lips with pink. I got pearl earrings and a few bracelets. Lastly I was given a beautiful gold chain with a ruby heart pendant. Galadriel sure did know how to spoil her grandchildren.

"Well…I'm done." I said. I looked at Jacklyn. She had a similar dress of green. Her eyes were the same way as mine but green and her lips were red. She had a bracelet on each wrist, diamond earrings, and a silver chain with an emerald heart pendant. I smiled at her.

"Excuse me." I looked at the door to see a male elf. "Prince Legolas has arrived."

"Thank you." I said. He left, as did the maids. I looked at Jacklyn. "Well…let's go meet your prince charming." She smacked me and I laughed before the two of us left.

We passed by Aragorn's talan and I peeked in through the open door. Nope…he wasn't in there…I wonder where he could be.

It's a short chapter but meh. They should be getting longer.
