The Council
I woke at some ungodly hour due to the irritating, inhumanly beautiful creature known as Megan, pulling off my blanket and saying, in a ridiculously high voice "Good morning Nina!" I rolled over and mumbled "Bleurgh, what do want you little twit?" Megan's nostrils flared, signaling her fury and then quickly moved on. "We're to join the council today." 'Da fque? Did she take something?' She must of caught my look of confusion and said very slowly "Lord Elrond has invited us to join the council. Come on! We have an hour. You'll miss breakfast soon."
"Why you little bi-"
"Lady Megan?"
"In here."
"NO! GET OUT! ALL OF YOU!" I yelled, wishing they could all drop dead.
"There's no need to be so rude Ni-"
"Oh, but there is! You cannot shut up! You cannot sing! AND I HATE YOU, ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING!" I screamed, now bolt upright, my hands curled ready to scratch her pretty little face off. Megan looked at me with a mix of fear, horror and shock. It was like she was shocked by the fact that someone could hate her. I was sick of her standing there, like a pathetic dummy so I leapt up, grabbed her and practically threw her out of the door before slamming it. I threw myself onto my bed and fell asleep again for another half an hour before jumping up, dressing at top speed and then sprinting down to the Hall of Fires. I burst through the door before realising that I was being dramatic and slouched off to hide in a corner somewhere. I looked around to try and find a familiar face and found none. I sighed and saw one of the dwarves look at me and then beckon me over. I took up his offer, grateful not to be standing there looking like an idiot. "'ere lass. Have somethin' to eat, you look starved." Said the dwarf. I smiled and started to stuff my mouth full of eggs, bacons and toast. My manners have a tendency to disappear when I'm hungry. "What's yere name lass?" asked the dwarf. I looked up, swallowed with difficulty and then replied "Nina. And you?" The dwarf smiled up at me, his red beard covering it slightly, before replying "My name's Glóin, lass." I nodded at him and continued to stuff my face, swallowed painfully and then sprinted off to clean my teeth and then stood outside my door, waiting for Megan. I wore a green dress made of linen with pants underneath. I couldn't wear the same clothes, over and over and they were very nice clothes.
I stood waiting for the idiot until I realised that I was running late. I knew she was in there because I could hear her rustling around in there. I gave up and sprinted off in one direction, hoping to run into someone. I did a minute or two later. Literately. "Gah!" I had run into Gandalf. 'I am getting sick of running into people!' I of course went bright red and got to my feet, Frodo looking concerned. Sweet hobbit, with all the worries of the ring on his shoulders and still able to care for others. I smiled reassuring at him and turned to Gandalf. The wizard had managed to stay up and was frowning at me. "I'm so sorry Gandalf. I overslept and Megan was up before, does that girl even sleep? And I'm sorry for running into you like" Gandalf swiftly cut my babblings off and said kindly "It's fine Nina. It was nice to sleep for a few extra hours. We can meet up later, just as long as your friend, Megan isn't with you." I nodded and then saluted for good measure, saying, "Yes sir!" Gandalf's lips twitched and Frodo grinned at me and together we headed off for the council. I was to be placed with the dwarves, which I think, was meant to be an insult but I didn't care. At least I wasn't with the elves who were all gaga for Megan. Glóin grinned at me and gestured to his son, Gimli who nodded at me. Megan came ten minutes late, but no one said anything and she was to sit just behind Legolas. I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes and saw that the twins and Glorfindel shoot Legolas jealous looks. I gave up and openly rolled my eyes at these childish antics and saw that the rest of dwarves were staring at the four elves like they were crazy. And they had a point. These were not the actions of a normal elf; these were the actions of teenage boys! The council began and I knew that it was going to be based off the movie. I blanked out for almost all of it, seeing as it wasn't any of my business, until that evil, little twit grabbed and yelled, "We shall come and protect you Frodo!" I wrenched my arm out of her grip and snapped "Like Hell I am you crazy bi-" Gandalf shot me a look, but I wouldn't of been able to finish it anyway because Megan was now begging me to come with her. I shot her a look of irritation before turning away and leave her in mid sentence. I didn't return to my room, but wandered through the gardens. I had to calm down or someone would lose their head. 'Preferably Megan's.' I thought bitterly. Just as the thought left my head I came across a maze and Gandalf. I waved and he gestured for me to follow him into the maze. I looked around and saw no one and followed him in. He clearly knew where he was going and somehow, despite the huge size, we came to the center of the maze very quickly. The center of the maze was another garden, rather like an English cottage garden. I could see bluebells, crocuses, snowdrops and lavender among the myriad of flowers. There was a stone bench and Gandalf and I sat down on it. Gandalf pulled out his pipe, lit it, took a puff and then said, "We need to talk about Megan."
A.N: Mwhahahahaha, I am so cruel to pull a cliffhanger on you guys, but I had to put something up. The next chapter is going to take awhile so I hope this will keep you all sedated for a while. Please review.
