Chatper 2 – Second accident of the day: Legolas in our car!
And then it hit me. We weren't at the Forbidden Forest, we were in Mirkwood.
"Guys" I started "I know where we are" My voice was just a whisper.
I think they started realizing that as well as they saw the dwarves. Thirteen dwarves. So this is happening during "The Hobbit" time. I easily recognized the dwarves. They looked exactly the same from what we've seen in the movie.
"What is that?" I heard a dwarf, that I recognized as being Bofur, asking, while pointing to our car.
"I have no idea, I have never seen something like that" Thorin replied "But don't let it attack"
I looked at my friends. We didn't know what to do. We didn't want the dwarves to kill us. And the spiders seemed to have disappeared. But I knew they wouldn't be gone for long, because, if this really follows the movie happenings, they were going to attack the dwarves soon. They weren't covered with spider webs yet.
I slowly and carefully got out of the car, leaving my friends confused behind.
"Leave this to me" I whispered to them, with a little wink, before turning to the dwarves. I noticed their eyes on me, examining my clothes and my appearance. For sure they weren't used to see this kind of clothes. And my dress wasn't very long; it only got to the middle of my tights. And I was wearing sandals and yeah, beach clothes. I didn't expect to end up in Middle-Earth because, if I knew this was happening, of course I wouldn't put on beach clothes.
"Thorin Oakenshield" I started, looking at the leader. I was quite a lot taller than them.
"Who are you and how do you know my name? Speak quickly" He ordered.
"I'm Catarina and I come from er… Earth, Portugal?" I answered, knowing that probably they wouldn't know where in the world Portugal was.
"There's no such place as Portugal" he said.
I saw Inês getting out of the car as well, followed by Bernardo and Sofia. The dwarves just looked at the four of us.
"I expected you not to know my land" I said, approaching the black haired dwarf "But I know who you are, I know of your quest, and I know where we are".
They all looked at me suspiciously.
"Where is Bilbo?" I asked.
They looked around as they couldn't spot the Hobbit. I assume he had climbed a tree and they were lost in the dark forest.
"Who are you, if you don't answer, I'm afraid we will have to kill you along with your three friends" Thorin said, looking at us coldly.
"We're not going to hurt you" Inês said, speaking for the first time. I noticed she had already spotted Kili, her favorite dwarf.
"This is crazy, I'm talking to characters of my favorite stories ever…" I thought to myself "Well, I don't really want get killed by them, so let's just make up a funny excuse and story"
"Well, Mr. Oakenshield" I started "Let's say we come from the future"
I grinned at the dwarves and I noticed Ori looked at us amazed.
"From the future…?" He asked.
"Yes, you see, in the future, these machines" I pointed to the car "Are going to be your traveling methods, instead of horses or ponies"
Sofia was staring at me incredulous.
"Yes, and in the future, we dress this way, don't get to shocked at our clothing" Inês said, after she noticed that the dwarves kept staring at our outfits.
The dwarves moved a bit to get a better sight of the car.
"So that machine is like a horse?" Kili asked.
"Yes, Kili" I answered.
"That still doesn't explain why you know our names" Thorin roared, glaring at us.
"Well…" I started, trying to get a fast explanation for this "We were playing with a time-machine and our experiments ended up badly and we were teleported to the past. And we know about you because there are movies, and books about your stories."
"Are you nuts?" I heard Sofia's sharp voice asking me behind my ear.
"I know what I'm doing!" I whispered back, quickly glancing at her.
Kili and Fili looked at eachother, Bombur, Ori, Nori, Dori, Bofur, Bifur, Gloin, Oin, and Dwalin seemed extremely interested in our story, Thorin still looked suspicious and Balin looked calm yet curious.
"We are part of stories of your times?" Balin asked.
"Yes, and movies are like, visions. It's hard to explain" Bernardo answered, starting to play along.
I quickly smiled at him, happy that he got where I was trying to get.
"That sounds weird" Thorin said "Sounds like mischief to me. I don't trust unknown people or strangers"
I sighed.
"You have to trust us!"
"Cat" Inês started, gently tapping my shoulder.
"Yes?"
"Aren't you forgetting the spiders…?"
My eyes widened in fear.
"Be careful, you're gonna be attacked by spiders but the elves will come in your rescue" I said.
"What?!" Thorin asked.
"Yes, spiders" I said "They're after you"
"And you only tell us now?!" Kili yelled, clearly annoyed.
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry for not remembering earlier" I apologized.
Right at that moment, the spiders came back and caught the dwarves, not prepared to fight them back.
"You humans are going to pay for this!" I could hear Fili's voice shouting, as we got back to the car. Sofia turned on the lights in order to try and scare the spiders away. We started going in circles.
"I think I'm going to be sick" Bernardo suddenly announced "Sofia, stop going in circles please"
"Would you rather be eaten by spiders?" she spat back at him.
He quickly shook his head and then, finally, we felt things falling on us. Bilbo had released the dwarves and they fell on the ground and on top of our car.
"You useless future people" Thorin braded as he got his sword ready to try and start killing the spiders again. We were still in the car, but Sofia finally stopped for a moment.
Suddenly and out of nowhere, the elves of Mirkwood appeared, quickly killing the spiders. Sofia finally stopped the car and jumped out of it, and Bernardo opened the door in order to throw up. I avoided looking, and got out of the car as well along with Inês. I was looking at the sinuous ground, dangerous because of the tree roots and when I finally raised my gaze, I noticed an arrow pointed at me. I didn't recognize the elf pointing the arrow at me but, I quickly found Legolas among the group of elves.
I also recognized a she-elf with long auburn hair. Gimli shouted to her to throw him a dagger but she refused, killing the spider Kili was attempting to kill by himself.
Legolas's eyes fell on me and my friends.
"Who are these humans?" He asked.
"We came from the future, Prince Legolas" I started, as I noticed his eyes widening when I proffered his name.
"How do you know my name?" He asked, approaching me, examining the car, my friends, our clothes and so on.
"We came from the future and your stories were stories told in our times" I explained, once again, trying to sound convincing.
Sofia and Inês nodded as I spoke.
"I don't believe that, take them to the realm" he ordered.
The elves started inspecting the dwarves and us. Sofia was explaining to an elf with long dirty-blonde hair what a car was, and Inês was making sure Bernardo was alright.
"You're not only a thief, but a liar" I heard Legolas telling Thorin, as he took away Thorin's sword, Orcrist.
Fili seemed to be having a hard time, because the elf who was taking away his weapons seemed to have noticed that he kept on hiding his weapons and the dwarf's face got annoyed when the elf took away from him his last weapon. Legolas slowly approached Gloin and picked up a locket the dwarf was wearing and opened it.
"Give it back! That's private!" the dwarf complained.
"Who is this? Your brother?" Legolas asked, in a cold voice.
"That is my wife!" Gloin roared at the blonde fair elf, looking up.
Legolas pretended he didn't listen to the dwarf and looked at the other picture in the locket.
"What is this horrid creature? A goblin mutant?"
"That's my wee lad, Gimli!" The dwarf answered, angered.
I couldn't help it and started giggling, which caused Legolas to lay his eyes on me.
"What's so funny about it?" he asked, in a cold and low voice.
"You're going to be best friends with the goblin mutant in sixty years" I replied.
Both Legolas and Gloin glared at me.
"My son, friends with an elf?"
"No way that is going to happen" Legolas declared "Whatever they say in the 'stories' is wrong"
"Oh really?" I asked, starting to get annoyed at the elf "Well, wait and see"
I liked the Lord of the Rings version of Legolas so much better than the Hobbit version and I secretly hoped that we had ended up into the War of the Ring age than this time.
Tauriel was now talking to Inês, asking questions about her phone. Being in Middle-Earth wasn't going to be easy at all.
"Enough talk" Legolas said "Let's go back"
At his order, the other elves, started making everyone walk back to the realm.
"Take the machine too" Legolas ordered, pointing at the car.
"It's too heavy for you" Sofia said.
"Then tell me how to take it" he riposted.
Sofia frowned slightly and then turned to him.
"I can take it" she said.
"How do I trust you won't run away inside that thing?" he asked, looking at her suspiciously. She wasn't much shorter than he was. He should be around 1,80m.
"You will have to trust we won't run away" she replied, looking at the car, and slowly walking to it.
"I will go too" Legolas declared, while he got closer to the car. He took a while examining the door and then opened it and sat inside, next to Sofia, who was sitting at the driver's seat. I managed to get the elf who was grabbing my wrist to let me join Sofia, and Inês joined too. Bernardo preferred to stay outside the car, because he didn't really want to get sick again. Sofia started the car and we followed the elves and dwarves inside it. Legolas seemed extremely disturbed by being inside a car and didn't trust Sofia's driving skills.
We drove for a little bit until we got to the little bridge that led to inside the realm.
"Stop the machine!" Legolas ordered, out of sudden, scaring sofia, which made her to brake heavily, causing the car to skid and accidentally hit one of the elves. The elf fell to the floor and started groaning slightly.
"Who gave you your car license?" I complained, with a little giggle "first, the accident, now we ran over someone… what will happen next"
Inês nodded as she supported my point.
"Accident?" Legolas asked "Something here doesn't make sense. Get out of the machine"
We all left the car, and followed Legolas as we crossed the bridge, leaving the car behind. The dwarves were taken to cells, like it happened in the movie, escorted by Tauriel. Legolas took us, humans, with him, to some huge spiral staircases.
"Prince Legolas, were are you taking us?" Inês asked.
"To my dad" he announced "He will know what to do with you and for sure, he wants to see what we caught today in the woods."
I exchanged a glance with Sofia, Inês and Bernardo.
"This can't be good" Bernardo whispered.
"We will probably send us to cells as well, we only have to expect Bilbo rescues us" Inês pointed out "And after, we can just follow the dwarves, if they don't mind"
"I don't know if they will like the idea of us following them" Sofia said "Thorin seems to be quite difficult to persuade"
I looked back at my friends, before speaking.
"We can try, right?"
They nodded.
"Quiet, all of you" Legolas ordered.
I started wondering about what really had happened. A few hours ago I was peacefully at the beach and now, I'm in the Woodland Realm, not knowing what the hell I am doing here, or if I'm dead or not in the real world. I tried to push the thought aside. The answer to those questions would probably come with time, and for now, there was nothing much we could do about it. So, as we were inside a book or movie, we just had to try and enjoy things and maybe change the plot a bit. I smiled to myself thinking that possibly we could save the dwarves, and help them Erebor back.
"What are you smiling at, Cat?" Inês asked.
"Eh, nothing, was just thinking" I replied, looking again at Legolas's long blonde hair.
He stopped climbing up the stairs for a short moment and turned back to us, his icy-blue eyes glaring at us.
"I ordered you to be quiet" he said, and then climbed some more stairs "We're here" he announced.
He stopped once again for a second, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.
I followed him, trying to imagine what kind of sentence Thranduil would give us.
