A Special Elf (The Lord of The Rings/The Hobbit Fanfiction)

Chapter 5: More Clues

Chapter 5 - More Clues

I wake up with sunlight shining on my face. I blink a couple times and look at the sky. I expected to wake with the sound of an arrow again. But I didn't. There's no arrow and no Legolas. I go sit up straight and look around. Weird. He probably has some duties to do.

I climb higher in the tree and jump on the highest branch. I look at the sky with my head just above the leafs of the tree. I can see The Long Lake, Esgaroth and of course Erebor. It's so beautiful here.

I hear a noise so I look down. I can't see the ground so I jump down a few branches. I don't see anything what can make that noise.

It's like a soft whisper. Maybe it's someone speaking to me. But who?

I listen better. 'Prepare.' That's the only word I hear.

Prepare for what? And who was that? I do recognise the voice. But I can't figure out who it belongs to. I listen again. The voice is gone. That was weird.

Now I hear something again. But no voice. It's someone running. I recognise the light steps, Legolas.

When he stops in front of the tree I send an arrow to him saying: 'You're late.'

I can see him smiling. 'Fathers.' he sends back.

'I was born in Mirkwood.' I send him his second clue.

He pulls the arrow with the clue out of the tree. 'Thank you.' he sends.

'What was with your father?' I send and watch Legolas as he goes sit down.

'Nothing special.' I get back.

'Seriously?' I send.

'You don't believe me?'

'No, I don't.'

'He's just angry.'

'Why?'

'Me being away all the time.'

'I think he worries.'

'My father? Worrying?'

'Yeah. It's a dad thing.' I hardly got that on the arrow.

'Did your dad worry?'

'All the time.' I just actually told him something else about me. That was not smart. But who cares. It's a game, right?

I look at Legolas. I can just see him between the leafs of the tree.

He just pulled the last arrow I shot out of the tree. 'I should go dad's worrying.'

I smile. 'Laterz.' I send and follow him as he walks away.

I can see he notices someone is watching him. He turns around and points his arrow at the bush I'm hiding in.

'Don't worry it's just me.' I say and come out of the bush.

'Why were you following me?' he asks.

I hesitate. 'I was... walking... in the forest when I saw you. I was surprised to see you here. So... I wanted to know what you were doing here.' I lie and smile. I hope he believes me. But I don't think so.

'Well, I'm just going to my father.' he says.

I still don't think he believes me. 'Okay, I'll walk with you.' I say and we walk to The Woodland Realm.

I hope you liked this chapter. It took me some time cause I was a bit busy.

Let me know if you've got an idea about the whisper.
