The Elven Thief

Second Lesson and Story Time

Darkness, nothing but darkness, my footsteps don't even make sounds as I walk through the empty space. "You can trust me." I heard the british voice echo through the space, but not body to go with it. I knew the voice well, all too well, and no matter where I went... it followed. "Don't be afraid, just hold my hand, we're going for a walk."

"No!" I scream out, I try to run but he follows, a rush of wind sweep me off my feet and suddenly I'm flying, flying through the darkness. I crash into the wall, I feel blood rush from my head. More pain comes and more blood flows, I cannot defend myself. I cry out, I try to fight, but there is nothing to fight. He is invisible, a ghost, and he keeps shouting; screaming at me, slurs and insults.

I jerk awake, taking a sharp breath and quickly try to remember my surroundings. I feel a sudden hand on my arm, I freak out, trying to pull away from the hand, but the grip was tight. "It's alright child," Thranduil's voice was soothing, quickly calming me. "Did you have a bad dream?"

"It's none of your business!" I snap back, wiggling my arm out of his hand. I heard him sigh, tough nut blondy!

He speaks softly again. "Breakfast is ready child, come down when you're ready." I hear the door close and I roll out of bed, and then crawling to the closet I pretty up myself. I throw on some cloths and put my jacket on. I then looked at myself in the mirror and leave, heading down the stairs to the kitchen.

I wasn't that hungry to begin with so I didn't eat a lot of the waffles, which were very good! I looked up to notice that Landion is not at the table with us?

"Where's Landion?" I ask, they all look up at me and start to grow worry faces when Landion's chair was empty, but Legolas apparently knew, "he's upstairs in his room cleaning up since you'll be learning math from there." In his room?! I made a face and continued to eat; Suiadan however made a comment that was actually directed towards me, "you should be fine, as long as you don't mess with any of his stuff, then he'll go all Dalek or Cyberman and try to exterminate, or delete you." Oh look at that he's actually talking to me!

"Yeah, Landion and his computers is like me with my cars." Legolas gave one last comment that made me grow a little scared, if Landion is that protective of his electronics and I know almost nothing about them, how are we going to survive?

I look at the door to Landion's cave, it's made like all the others; dark wooded and has beautiful designs on it. Except, his has wires hanging from the top and bottom, so he hasn't had a chance to clean? I knock on the door causing the hallway to rumble, and inside of the room I hear a frantic voice, "Hold on a minute!"

"I thought you were cleaning the whole time we were at breakfast?" I ask taken back at how little he's done.

"I was and still am! Trying to put all of the stuff back where it belongs is frustrating!" Behind me I hear one of the maids approaching, I turn to see a older looking elf with almost white hair and hazel eyes.

"It's even a struggle for the three maids I've appointed to clean up your mess!" She hollered banging on the door, so she must be like head maid.

"Well you lot don't know where they go!" Landion snapped back as a sound of a closing drawer sounded. The maid left and I was still waiting outside the door, finally I grew impatient and began to hammer at the door, "Oi! Let me in!"

I heard Landion give a sigh and walk over to the door opened it and gestured inside, "Welcome to my little domain." I walk inside, taking in the surroundings; the room is at least twice as big as mine and twice as cluttered. Wires are still on the floor and it just looks like a mess. I walk towards the half clean table by the window when I hear, "Exterminate, exterminate!" I squeal like a little elfling and hide behind Landion who only laughed, "relax, it's only my model of a Dalek, it sounds at the beginning of every hour." I don't care it still scared me half to death!
