Middle Earth: Many Meetings

[ColletteTook]

* collette smiled gratefully* " you are still stubborn.but i will out run you with stubborness this time my friend. I fyou you do not take your sack back now, or you shall stay awake in vain because i am not going to take it. i take what i can earn myself, from my own wits and i do not accept charity or pity money." she smiles again. " i am glad that my plan worked. it was worth it. Who are your friends?" she asked , starting at the other hobbit and the man

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

Thengise frowned as Collette refused the pouch. She turned to the others. "This is Jecht. He is one of my father's captains,"she said pointing at the elf/man. "I'm not sure who the rest of these people are though,"she finished.

[suicidal elf chick]

Kalia rushed in, looking for Jecht.
"Hello! She said that she was going to bed, and so I didn't follow her," she said, not noticing the others in the room until after shse spoke. "Oh, I'm sorry, hello to you too! I am Kalia," she said, bowing quickly.

[ColletteTook]

" Collette took" she said through a mouthful of cheese. " pleased to meet you"

[suicidal elf chick]

Kalia smiled at Collette.
"Pleased to meet you, too," she said, grinning.

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

Thengise turned to look at the elf. "Suilad, Thengise es nin(Greetings, My name is Thengise),"Thengise said softly.

[suicidal elf chick]

Kalia looked at the elf who had just spoken and smiled softly at her.
"Suilad, Thengise, pleasure to meet you," she said, bowing again.

[ColletteTook]

Collette brushes a crumb off her sleave, as if trying to clean it ( daring the impossible ) and looked around, having all ready lost her attention span.

[Primrose]

Collette looked around as if she was in her own world thinking of greater things that did not exsist here in middle-earth. Primrose started to speak. “Hello Collette, let me introduce myself, I am Primrose Banks from Rushey.” Primrose could not speak very much for she was very tired and did not believe the elf that she was following earlier on was a Princess. “By the way,” she looked at Collette and Thegnise, “how did you two meet, I am sorry I missed that part.”

[ColletteTook]

"Pleased to meet you too" she said holding out her hand to primrose. " We met on an adventure...we have been on many" * Collette throws a dark look at thengise*

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

Thengise looked at Primrose. "Well I'm pleased to meet you. Sorry about walking away from you earlier, but be sure that I am not afraid of you but only of being found,"Thengise told Primrose with a soft smile.

[ArwenBaggins]

Thorn got to her bedroom door, opened it slightly, and then turned to face the hall.
"I need to have fun. That would be what my Mama and Ada would want. Yes."
She sighed, and then saw a shadow moving and lite{sp?} screams from the room down the hall. The door was closed, so she put her ear to the door, holding her sword's hilt.
"No! No! I won't run a way again!" She heard what seemed to be a woman saying.
"We'll be sure of that!" A man yelled and the woman screamed.
With all of her might, Thoriel pushed open the door. She saw a woman dead, on the bed. A man was standing over her with a bloody sword.
"Help! Murderer! Help!" Thorn screamed at the top of her lungs.
"What? Get out of here girl! Before I do something drastic!" Thorn stood her ground.
She heard people downstairs, so she called again: "MURDERER! UPSTAIRS! Help!" She yelled louder than before.
"I warned you!" He ran rowards her, and she paniced{sp?}. She barely missed his plunge of the sword into the door.
She grabbed her sword and put it infront of her face, ready to spring. "You're not going to kill me, or injure me for that matter. I have my Mother and Father looking over me!" She plunged at him, and he dodged.

He plunged at her one more time, and she tried to dodge, but failed. The sword jammed into her side and she fell onto the dusty floor. With her last breath she yelled: "Kalia! Jecht! HELP!" And passed out and saw no more.
--------------------------------------------
The murderer ran downstairs into the crowd, he managed to make it into the street, with many gaurds behind him.


OoC- Help! Thorn needs Medical Attention! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[suicidal elf chick]

>Kalia and the others to the rescue! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]<

Kalia heard the screams and yelled to the others.
"Come on, I believe Thoriel needs help!" she yelled, running out of the room and upstairs.
She saw the open door and ran in to find a dead woman and Thoriel laying on her side, surrounded by a pool of her own blood.
"Thoriel! Are you all right?" she yelled, dashing to her. "What happened?"

[ColletteTook]

Collette followed The two elves and Primrose up the stairs. upon seeing the strange elf lying there, blood draining fast she didnt hesitate. since she was much too small to help Kalia , thengise and Jecht carry her, Her and Primrose began to clear the way through the fast forming crowd, to an empty room where they lay her, putting cold cloths on her face and on her wound.

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

Thengise helped carry the elf to another room. They set her down and Thengise began to apply pressure on the wound to stop it from bleeding. "We need a doctor and soon. If we do not hurry she will lose to much blood,"Thengise said with a sadness in her voice.

[ColletteTook]

" I know where to find one ive stolen from her once i will be right back" said collette daring out of the room and our of the tavern. she returned with an elderly woman who was in a nightgown. " how did this come about?" she asked with a harsh voice and oushed thengise's hands away as if seh were not capable to deal with such things, even though she was extremly capable. thengise frowned and backed away and let the woman work

[Judge Simon]

Jecht had taken to standing in the shadows of the the candle-lighted room. Once the doctor had rudely pushed Thengise aside Jecht whispered in her ear in their native tongue
Jecht-Still looking for adventure, are we?
Before she could reply back Jecht left the room and went back outside to confront the attacker and murderer. The man had run into the arms of the town's guards and had no chance for an escape. Jecht questioned the man but was unable to get any clear response from him. The man's breath reeked of the bar's ale and Jecht ordered the man to be placed in the jail until he was sober enough to be questioned. Jecht went back into the bar when he felt a urgent pulling on his arm. He looked over and saw.......

OoC: BTW you guys do know that our group will head to Mordor to fight Sauron right? The Tavern is north of Mordor[cut me some slack, first RpG I've actually started, all by my lonesome]

[ColletteTook]

<< cool plot . im up for it...gots no where else to go * laughs quietly*>>

Collette tugged mercilessly on Jecht's sleeve " shes awake now " and ran back up to the room

[Judge Simon]

OoC;My apologies for seeming so unorganized,I'm usually not....

BiC: Jecht watched Collette scamper down the hall. Jecht shook his head and taking slow, deliberate strides down the hall, he reached the room not far behind Collette, he walked in and saw that the elf on the bed was indeed awake.........

[ColletteTook]

instead of entering the room, collette sharp eyes caught a man walking by, that had a satchet loosly hanging from his belt. coins jingled merrily from inside of it. she was drawn to it, creeping dog-like behind it and clawing at it like a greedy child in a fit, and snatched it and darted into the room before he could notice.

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

Thengise stood in the hallway after being pushed away by the nurse. She thought about what Jecht had whispered to her. She still wanted adventure yet she didn't want people getting hurt. She looked around and saw Collette snatching a satchet from a man,which contained coins. Thengise blocked Collette's way and looked down at the hobbit. "You will not except my coins saying that you must first earn it and yet you resort to stealing from a man who did nothing wrong,"Thengise said with a frown on her face.

[ColletteTook]

Collette looked up innocently from counting her coins. her face turned to stone " i am a theif thengise. a thief does not accept charity. i told you, i get my own money by using my wits. i will not take your pity money. dont look at me like that. you know its pity money." she said at thengise's argue-face

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

"You said you had to earn it! Stealing and earning are two very different things. As far as the coins I want to give to you, it's not just pity! I care for you! I would give it to you in any time of need,"Thengise said trying to remain calm.

[ColletteTook]

" you dont get it do you..?" said colette, her eyes filling with tears. " i left....becasue i care for you...I STEAL because i care for you...i could have taken the EASY road, and went back home with you, and your father and yourself would have never pulled together and gotten over you mother. but because i CARE for you, i don not accept it. i will not accept it. i earn it becasuse im not getting caught. i earned it because i gave up HAPPINESS so you could have CLOSURE with your parents! dont tell me you do it becasue you care for me. i know better. i know you care for me- friend of friends, but you know that i would rather do it myself until i am unable to. not until then, will i ever exept your charity.

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

Thengise's eyes began to water as she looked at her friend. She never really thought about it that way, but she really did care for her hobbit friend. She realized that Collette was really the thing that ever kept her alive. Collette had given her her father back, which was what ever kept the fire burning in Thengise's heart. She realized she owed her friend so much more than life itself. She dropped to her knees and embraced her friend like she was more that a friend but family. "Why must you sacrifice so much for me?"Thengise said crying.

[ColletteTook]

" i owe it to you thengise. nobody could even hope for a better friend than you" she said crying into her shoulder and clinging to her. "and if i had anything of value to offer you, i would give it all to make you happy. your my best friend. i did it because i know you would have done the same thing"

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

"But the point is that you are the one who is suffering for me. I am forever in your debt. I wish it were you in my place. I do not deserve it,"Thengise said crying.

[ColletteTook]

Collette looke at her seriously " youdeserve more than youve been given. you are not in my debt. dont ever think that. lets just say im paying you back for that time i stole your diary and backmailed you for the rare mushrooms in the pantry and you neded up getting caught...* they laugh*
but if you must repay me....let me go now so i can take a bath, now that i can afford it * jingles the satchet*

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

Thengise smiled. "Of course you can go take a bath,"Thengise said softly yet she knew she owed her much more than that.

[ColletteTook]

Collette came from bathing, smelling sweet and clean. her hair was three shades lighter, and she was in a white gown becasue she paid to have her clothes washed and tailored. " ahh! i havent had a bath like that in....8 months!"

[suicidal elf chick]

>I'll be gone for a couple days starting today, bye!<

[Judge Simon]

OoCon't be gone too long, Elf Chick! Okay, I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm going to speed up to the next day, you guys can still post like its night just end it on the next morning, I hope thats cool with everyone.

BiC: Jecht walked to the outside of the tavern. The night was cool and the sky showed no sign of rain, so Jecht decided that he would sleep on a bench outside the bar. He laid down on the bench and looked up at the stars and thought of home and fell into sleep.
Jecht awoke the next morning. The sun had not yet risen the the village was covered in a blanket of twilight-blue. Jecht stood up, streched, and ran his hand through his hair. He looked down the road and saw no one. Jecht decided to take a walk. As he walked, he noticed a small stream that kept getting bigger as he walked along next to it. It ran through a mill and Jecht saw that it flowed from a river upstream. He followed it to a more secluded area. Jecht pushed some overgrowth out of the way and saw where the river began. A huge waterfall flowed into a deep river, it was a sight that took Jecht back home to Mirkwood. He smiled to himself. Jecht went over to the river's edge and took off his heavy overcoat ,old armor, and boots, but left on his pants and belt. Jecht dove into the icy water. He swam around for a while and then looked up at the waterfall. He got out and went over to the waterfall and began to climb the rocks that led to the top of the waterfall. As he climbed, his back muscles worked like a pather's. With his coat and armor off the intricate tattooings on his back showed. Jecht reached the top and took a looke around. Then he jumped off into the water. He returned to the surface and jumped up onto a rock, when he heard a quiet laughing from behind him, almost instanly, he turned back into a warrior and loosed a small throwing knife from his belt, but held back his throw when he saw it was.........
OoC:That can springboard for anyone...

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

Thengise walked outside to walk through the woods. As she walked along she came to the waterfall.

[suicidal elf chick]

>Hi! Beach-plans backfired, so I'm back!<

Kalia sat up after a night's worried sleep, hoping Thoriel would be okay. She checked in on her and saw that the old woman had patched her up, and she was sleeping. She smiled and left the room, deciding to get some food and take a walk. SHe strolled downstairs and out the door, to go look for any possible apple trees. To her luck, there was one nearby, where she heard giggling and a waterfall to the left. She snatched a few apples and followed the sounds. When she arrived, Thengise was looking at Jecht, who was sitting on a rock, soaking wet. She smiled and stood in the shadows, chewing on an apple.

[Judge Simon]

Jecht laughed at himself and put away his knife
Jecht-A bit early for a walk isn't it, My lady?
Jecht jumped off the rock and swam over to the other side. He got out and walked over to Thengise.

[ArwenBaggins]

Thoriel woke up, with an excruciating pain in her side. Her side was bandaged up, and the cloth was drinched in blood. She was still wearing the same blood-filled clothes as when she was attacked. She remembered everything from the night before. She could have saved that woman if she would have burst in just seconds earlier.

Her thoughts were interupted by the morning sun rising into her window. She saw some sort of crutches laying by her bed. With great difficulty, she used the crutches to get downstairs and outside into the brisk morning air.

She walked down the road, and came to a grove of apple trees. With her injury, she couldn't get any down, so she searched for ones on the ground.

She saw a small stream and a large waterfall, and three people beside it. She noticed them to be Thengise, Kalia, and Jecht, and went to them.

[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

Thengise smiled,"I just can't stay away from the trees." She looked at the beautiful waterfall.

[Judge Simon]

Jecht nodded and took a glance up at the waterfall. He walked over to where he put down his coat and grabbed it. He threw it over his arm. and ran his free hand through his wet hair trying to get some of the wet out. He walked back over to Thengise.
Jecht-So, how long has it been since you left home? Your father must be worried, my Lady.

[Judge Simon]

OoC: Oops, Srry Arwen, lemme write you in missed your post

BiC: Before Thengise responded, Jecht hear a twig snap behind them and he looked over his shoulder. It was the Elf from the night before. Jecht turned around to face her.
Jecht-Well, you're looking a sight better than last night.

[suicidal elf chick]

Kalia turned, hearing Thoriel's arrival. SHe smiled and went ot her.
"Are you feeling better? That was a pretty bad wound you got," she said, motioning to her side.
