Never met someone like you. [Legolas Story] *Wattys2014*

Taking in a stranger.

        The man looked like he just came right out of the medieval world, he was scanning his surroundings but then his eyes landed on me. His eyebrows furrowed together as he looked me up and down. I quickly looked at my body and realize I was still wearing this blasted red sequin dress. I then pushed myself off the ground and wiped the dirt that stained my legs.

I then made my way towards the weird man and stuck my hand out for him to shake and I said in a professional voice "Valerie Greene." but he flinched back as I stuck my hand out. "Who are you? And where am I?" he asked, his voice was so smooth and velvet. Nothing I have ever heard before-- Back to reality Val!! "Umm.. You are in New York and I am Valerie." I said, he quickly took a look around and asked "Do you know the way to Mirkwood?" Mirkwood? It sounds like some sort of wood to me. "Ummm... no. There is no such thing as Mirkwood unless it some sort of wood." I said but he looked at me as if I was the crazy one.

He then bowed down like I was a princess but he quickly eyed my dress-- perv. He must be on drugs or something. "Thank you Lady Valerie, but our meeting has come to an end. I must find my way back to my homeland before first light." he said formally as he started walking in the middle of the road. He was some weird person, As he stood in the middle of the road he then kept whirling his head around trying to find anything that may seem familiar to him but I bet nothing does. Suddenly down the road I saw a car driving fast with one of the party people inside driving recklessly like they were drunk and I could hear laughter and music coming from their car. but the worst part was that they were heading straight for the weird man giving no signs of slowing down.

My eyes widen and I quickly dashed over to the man, he just stared at the car that was moving fast. "MOVE!!!" I shouted but he ignored me, He then got his small swords out and stood in a fighting stance. What-the-hell-is-this-guy-doing!!! I then pushed him out of the way right before the car could run him over. We then both fell on the ground but I felt a sharp pain coming from my leg. I then looked at the man and he looked at me seriously. "What the hell was that!?!" I yelled at him angrily "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

He then eyed my leg and I snapped at him as I pushed myself off the ground "Hey perv! Stop staring at my-- Ow!" as I got up I realize my right leg was in pain. I looked down and saw blood. Oh. God.

It was gushing down my leg, it must have hit one of his small swords. "You are hurt, I am terribly sorry." he said as he looked at the ground ashamed. Who was this guy?! I then noticed how tall he was even though I was wearing six inch heels. "It's fine, I'll just clean it when I get home." I said and ignored the pain that was shooting up my leg but for some reason he noticed and without saying anything he scooped me up in bridal style. Making me yelp as he scooped me up. I could feel his arms were strong and muscled. "Put me down!!" I shouted, not wanting some strange man touch me let alone carry me but from the looks of it, he seems to be ignoring me. "I shall take you to your talan, please do give me the map to your talan." he said formally.

I rolled my eyes and started pointing the way to my so called 'Talan' which I think means home or house. He then started jogging with me in his arms not showing any signs of struggle. He just carried me effortlessly like I was a feather. As we arrived at my apartment I then opened it with my keys with him still holding me. As we entered, and I on the lights he seemed kind of startled, he then looked around my house like it was alien to him. He then gently put me on the couch and I told him to give me the first-aid kit but at first he didn't understand so I told him the red box on the top shelf I was glad he was tall because he could reach it easily.

As I put a few things on the cut on my leg he observed me intently like I was doing some sort of magic. "So weird man, do you have a name?" I asked as I looked at my cut again, "My name is Legolas Thranduillion." he said, Legolas Thranduillion that was awfully a weird name. "Okay! Where do you live Lego-las?" I asked, "Mirkwood in Eryn Lasgalen" my eyebrows furrowed together and asked "Where is that?" "Mirkwood? The great green wood? Middle earth?" he said as if he was teaching me.

I then stood up and winced a bit from my leg since I am still in my heels and grabbed my world globe and went over to him. "This is earth." I said as if I was talking to a 5 year old, I then pointed to New York and said "We are here, New York." he then grabbed the globe from me and started searching the world maybe for his country or whatever. He then dropped the globe and had a sad expression on his face. "Legolas, Are you alright?" I asked as I fixed my eyeglasses that was about to fall.

"I am not from your world." he said, I then burst out laughing but as I saw his serious face I knew he was not joking. "but isn't that like impossible?" I asked, not wanting to believe that this alien was sitting inside my living room in my apartment. "Nothing is impossible when it comes to the Valar." he said, Valar? "So you are an alien?" I asked as I slowly touched his pointed ears to see if they were real, as I touched them he jumped back as if he just been tickled. "The ears are sensitive, No I am an Elf." he said "I knew it! Do you work for Santa?" I asked as I burst out laughing in my own joke but then I realize he didn't understand my joke. "Santa? I work for no one but my father and people." he said

I rubbed my temples and said "Okay Legolas! You are from Middle Earth Mirk... umm... Mirkwood blah blah blah. You are an Elf and have no idea where you are?" trying to make sure I know everything basic about him. He then nodded, "Since you have no place to stay or no idea where to go. You can stay here," I said, he gave me a smile, for some odd reason his smile gave me butterflies but I quickly ignore them and said "But there are a few rules."

"Anything Lady Valerie, You are kind to invite me to your home, I shall forever be indebt to you." he said formally. I couldn't help but blush but then said "Rule number one, You cannot tell anybody who you really are because the people here will seriously freak out. Like literally. You can keep your name but we must do something about your attire," as I circled him while eying him. "Rule number two, no weapons in the house so you keep them in your room that I am about to give you... Rule number three is privacy, my best friend lives next door so don't be noisy or something. Don't go out when I am not around or until you know the place, That's about it you have any questions?" I asked

"What if people ask who am I or where am I from what information do I deliver?" He asked, "Uhh.. good question say you are a family friend of mine and... you are from England." I said, he then smiled and bowed again. "No! No formalities no more calling me Lady-- Just Valerie or Val. No more bowing. just be normal." I said "but it is normal." he replied kindly. I rolled my eyes and said "Earth Normal not your nomal." he then nodded and smiled. I showed him to his room and told him I would teach everything tomorrow since it was really late at night. He told me that he didn't need sleep since he is an Elf but I just told him that he needed to pretend he was asleep so I just gave him books until I teach him how to use Tv and other stuff. I also gave him a pair of sweat pants and a loose shirt of mine which was huge for me so I guess it would fit him and it took him a while to get out of his armor and as he came out I nearly drooled since my shirt hugged his muscles in all the right places. He was big and buff. He looked hot but I quickly tamed myself before I could say or do anything I'll regret.

I just wonder how would Skylar react that I invited a stranger to live with me.
