The Journey
Terribly sorry for the very late update! Have been sorting out the plot of this story. :D Enjoy!
Ella woke up not only to the sun shining upon her but also to a pair of blue orbs that she has grown to love but looks at her as if she was a stranger, arms wrapped safely around her making her feel as if she was home again but the arms only held her because she was familiar and not because of love.
Grief stricken her heart but deep down inside she was happy that she was with Legolas who gave her a chance, a chance to get everything back but she also knew that if they were caught there would be consequences and she was scared and worried of what might Thalion be doing at the moment in her evil sister's arms. Could she really take care of child when she remembered that her own sister couldn't take care of her grades back in earth.
"What are you thinking of?" his voice rang through the small breeze of the morning making Ella close her eyes and remember the mornings when they would wake up naked next to each other. "You." she said, she wasn't lying but at the same time she was. She was thinking of Legolas plus a whole lot of other things. Legolas smiled and caressed her cheek saying "I don't know what my heart is telling me but all I am thinking right now is how this moment is perfect... like it was meant to be." Making Ella's heart beat like crazy.
Legolas played with Ella's hand in the air, Ella entwined their hands as she said "Maybe we are meant to be."
Both of them looked into each others eyes and felt like the whole world just stopped like nothing could ruin this moment but of course someone actually did. "Friend, sorry to bother but we have been informed that Rivendell is planning on a search party for you and your lady friend here." one of the rangers of Osgoroth said as he awkwardly looked at Ella. Legolas stood up helping Ella also stand up. "Thank you friend, we are forever indebted to you." Legolas said as he clasped his hand onto the ranger's shoulder as a friendly gesture. "I have a horse for you, King Aragorn told us to give it to you." he said as he showed us a beautiful brown horse. Ella and Legolas smiled and began mounting the horse not wanting to waste time.
The ride to Bree was quiet and quick since they galloped pretty fast wanting to get far away as possible. Once they entered Bree on foot while guiding the horse to the stables, Legolas whispered something to the horse and grabbed Ella's hand not wating to get lost. "Where are we going?" Ella asked as her eyes darted everywhere, Ella has been here before but she never got tired of the beautiful scenarios of Middle Earth. (Who would? lol) Legolas just led Ella to the Prancing Pony. "Welcome!" a cheerful crowd cheered as Legolas and Ella entered.
They ordered food and some drinks, Legolas and Ella talked for a while getting to know each other again. Surprisingly for Legolas, Ella knew everything about him so Legolas had to get to know Ella again which was painful yet relief at the same time for her. "I knew that somewhere out there my Grandfather's stories were real and that's how me and Arwen met." Ella explained how she knew that deep down inside that Middle Earth was real and she also explained her first trip here and how she discovered her powers which Legolas listen with interest.
Legolas then rented a room for them since both of them were tired from running and even though they slept in each others arms the ground wasn't comfortable so they stayed in a two single bed room. Ella sat on her bed playing with the edge of her dress while Legolas sat on his bed awkwardly playing with his bow. For the first time on their runaway event, they both just sat there not knowing what to say. "Umm.. I'm gonna go to... somewhere." Ella said as she made her way towards the door she couldn't take the silence anymore but before she could take a step outside the door she was suddenly pinned to the wall.
She then looked up and saw Legolas pinning her to the wall and before she could say anything Legolas then covered her lips with his kissing her with passion and possibly love? Legolas' grip on Ella's arms loosened and his hands slid down her arms to wrap it around her tiny waist and Ella's arms automatically wrapped around his neck. They both kissed each other both knowing how to please the other since it felt natural to them.
Legolas then scooped Ella up making her squeal out of surprise and pleasure. Legolas then carried her to the bed not showing a single expression that he was struggling since Legolas was really strong. Legolas then crawled on top of Ella not breaking the kiss. Ella was playing with his hair while Legolas caressed her arms and waist. Both of them did not want to break the kiss for it felt beyond the word amazing.
Suddenly there was an urgent knock on the door, Legolas bolted up and went to the door while Ella quickly sat up straight on the bed and straightened her hair out. Legolas opened the door to see butterbur panting like he came from a long run. "Legolas.... *breaths* Rivendell guards just entered the prancing pony." and with those words Legolas' eyes widen and he quickly grab the stuff that they need and helped Ella to get out the room but then Butterbur both blocked them. "You can't go out here they'll catch you. Go out the window" he said pointing to the window behind them. "Thank you friend!" Legolas said as he gave Butterbur a smile. Ella quickly stood on her tippy toes to give Butterbur a kiss on the cheek.
Before Butterbur would always make Ella delicious dessert, but that was before Butterbur lost his memory of her.
Legolas helped Ella as they got on top of the roof but as they walked on top of the roof jumping to the other building they didn't notice the Rivendell roaming guards, one of the guards spotted them and shouted "There they are!!" suddenly a few other guards started pouring out from the prancing pony and some were already on the roof behind them. "Legolas." Ella said in a concern voice Legolas quickly grabbed Ella's hand and started running. The guards below followed them as possible as they can and the ones on the roof tried catching up and even though the guards were elves this is Legolas we are talking about here. He is faster and a fast thinker than the rest.
As they were running Ella then slid and made her ankle twist, she almost fell off the roof but Legolas quickly scooped her up into his arms and started running with ease. but as they tried running away from the Elven guards that were quickly gaining up on them Legolas came to a stop as he saw more Elven guards on top of the roof in front of him, him and Ella looked in each others eyes and Legolas said "Hold on tight." Ella did as she was told and held on as Legolas jumped and slide off the roof with both of them landing in a wagon full of hay.
The Elven guards thought they got up and ran so Ella and Legolas stayed hidden in the hay until they were finally out of Bree since the wagon was being pulled by a farmer and his pony. Ella poked her head out and found that she was staring out into an open field of grass. Legolas poked his head out next to Ellas' and faced her hugging her like they haven't seen each other. "I'm glad you're safe." he whispered Ella hugged him back.
"Where you headed?" The farmer asked Ella and Legolas making them both pull away from the hug. They both looked at each other and Legolas said
"The Shire."
***
The rest of the journey towards the Shire was filled with talks and laughter, Legolas and Ella would laugh about how the Elven guards almost caught them. but as they got to the Shire they went straight to Frodo's home. before Ella could knock on the door Legolas quickly caught her hand and grabbed her shoulders so she could face him. "Legolas?" she asked wondering why Legolas stopped her. "I just..." he said as he drifted off letting his hands slide down her arms and hold her hands tightly.
"Just want you to know that I'll keep you safe no matter what I--" But before Legolas could finish the sentence Ella giggled and said "You told me this a million times Legolas, I trust you and besides I know you'll keep me safe."
Legolas smiled like an idiot caught that he cared too much, he sighed and said "I just never want you to forget that." Ella smiled and cupped his face with her small hands caressing his cheeks "Before you lost your memory you always told me you'll keep me and Thalion safe. I also told you that I trusted you... with my life." she said while smiling.
Legolas leaned in her hand enjoying the warm feeling of her hand compared to the cold night that surrounded them. "We should get inside now, it would be safe." Legolas whispered even though he didn't want the warmth of her hand to leave his now cold cheek. Ella chuckled then knocked on the door. They both could hear small footsteps and as soon as the door was open Frodo's eyes widen and he smiled brightly happy to see Legolas and Ella at his door.
"Legolas, Lady Ella what are you guys doing here?" he asked his smile not leaving his face. "Frodo we need a place to stay for the night." Ella said sweetly as she looked up into the night sky. Frodo then moved back so they could enter the small house. "Why are you guys here? Where is Thalion and Lady Ally?" he asked as he went over to the small kitchen to fetch some tea and cakes. "They are in Rivendell." Legolas answered as he walked inside making sure he doesn't knock anything over since he was tall. Ella giggled as Legolas almost hit the small chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
"Why didn't they come along?" Frodo asked as he came to the dining room carrying the small tea cups and cakes, Ella and Legolas followed and they both looked at each other wondering if they should tell him the truth. Ella and Legolas looked at Frodo their smiles now faded and as Frodo looked at them his smile also faded. "Is something wrong?" he asked. Legolas sighed knowing he had to tell Frodo but before Legolas could say anything there was another knock on the door. Ella's head snapped to Legolas and he also the same. Legolas then looked at a confused Frodo, Legolas then put a hand on Frodo's shoulder and said "If anybody is looking for us don't tell them that we are here." Frodo nodded at Legolas' voice who sounded serious.
Frodo then made his way to the door and then Ella and Legolas heard voices and suddenly three small people appeared in the dining room making Ella and Legolas sigh in relief as they saw Merry, Pippin, and Sam. The three young hobbits stood there shock to see them two. "Oi! What are you guys doing here?" Pippin asked. Legolas sighed deeply this time now knowing that he has to tell the four hobbits the truth.
After hours of explaining the situation of how they ran away and how Ally is evil and Ella was actually sent back to earth-- you get the picture. At first the hobbits didn't understand but as they explained for what seemed about the fourth time they finally understood but they were still working on believing it.
***
The hobbits eventually fell asleep as well as Legolas and Ella but all of them were awaken by a furious knock on the door and shouting. "Prince Legolas and Lady Ella!! Come out and surrender!" The four hobbits including Ella and Legolas bolted up and started panicking. Ella was on the verge on tears and Legolas was staring at the ground thinking hard on how they were gonna get through this. Merry then snapped his fingers with a victorious smile on his face.
"We will deal with the guards you guys go out the window." Merry said earning a weird glance from the three hobbits. "Are you sure Merry?" Ella asked worried for her little friend, he nodded and said "We did this as kids."
"But that was with farmers!" Sam intervened. "Shh!" Merry shushed him Legolas gave a skeptical glance along with Ella and Pippin then said "Come on now! We don't have all day!"
As brave as he could but you could see in his eyes that he was nervous. "Thank you!" Ella and Legolas said in unison as they made way towards the window in Frodo's room. "Ella." Frodo called out, Ella turned around to look in the ocean blue eyes of Frodo he smiled warmly at her and said "Get your life back."
Ella smiled and mouthed 'I will.'
"What now?" Sam asked as he faced Merry, but Merry smirked and said "Just trick them like we always do to the farmers, besides if what Ella says is true then sooner or later Lord Elrond will let us out of prison."
"PRISON?" the three hobbits shrieked. "And what if it is not true?" Sam asked. Merry bit his lower lip and said "Then we shall beg forgiveness" Making Frodo roll his eyes.
***
While Ella and Legolas were hiding behind the bush waiting for the guards to disappear, Frodo then opened the door and asked "It is early in the morning kind sir, what is the matter?" Acting as he just woke up. "Master Baggins we came here to claim Prince Legolas and one of our prisoners Lady Ella." one of the guards said. "But they aren't here." Frodo said.
"CAN'T CATCH ME!!!" Pippin shrieked in a horrible Ella voice making Ella and Legolas' jaw drop. Apparently Pippin was sitting on Sam's shoulders wearing a dress and a blonde wig running away from Frodo's house their back facing the guards so they didn't notice that it was just a distraction. Ella wondered "Where did they get the blonde wig?"
She'll never know.
"THERE!" one of the guards shouted while all the guards started running towards the fake running Ella. As they ran Legolas and Ella made their way towards the bridge between the Shire and Ered Luin but since it is a great distance it will take them a while.
While the fake Ella ran Merry was hiding behind a tree with two traps set once the rest of eight guards ran ahead leaving only two behind, one of the guards foot got caught in the rope sending him up in the tree, upside down. The other guard turned around and tried to help the guard down but Merry came out and hit him with a frying pan knocking him out cold. "Lord Elrond is gonna kill me." he mumbled to himself. "Eight more to go." Merry said to himself.
While the seven guards were running leaving one behind since he couldn't find the two missing guards Frodo then said to the guard " I found Prince Legolas."
"Lead me to him." he said, Frodo ran and the guard was on his tail and as he reached the field he then jumped over the fence and so did the guard effortlessly and then he pointed to a small shack ahead. "Over there." he said making sure he doesn't fall into the mud, the guard nodded a thank you but as he tried to walk Frodo stuck his foot out making the guard fall in the mud. Frodo then whistled and a pony came near. "Sit." Frodo commanded the pony making the pony sit on the guards face.
Merry took a short cut along with Frodo and both of them hid in the trees above waiting for the guards to pass by and as the seven guards pass by Frodo and Merry jumped on one, Frodo blinded the guard making the guard trying to sense where he was but he then ran into a brick wall but before he could Frodo jumped off him making him slam hard against the brick wall, Merry was on another one and he then farted in the guards face making him knock out cold while proudly saying "Beans for midnight snack."
"Now there are five more, how are we gonna deal with them?" Frodo asked. "Don't worry Sam and Pippin will handle it but we will meet them up at farmer Maggots." Merry said with a smirk.
Sam and Pippin led the rest of the guards into farmer maggots corn field once they were deep into the corn field. Pippin got off Sam as they both separated but Pippin was still wearing the wig and dress. "WHO IS IN MY FIELD?" Sam and Pippin could hear famer Maggot shouting. Suddenly a bark of a dog could be heard, then next thing they knew Farmer Maggot and his dog were chasing down three guards. Sam then was suddenly pinned against the wall gently. "Where is Ella?" the guard asked.
Sam's eyes darted to different places wondering how he could take down the guard. He then spotted a mushroom that can make somebody itch like a terrible rash. Sam then grabbed it and shoved it in the guard's mouth. Making him panic and running off to find water. Sam sighed to himself relieved it was almost over.
Pippin sat down in the middle of a field with his head down and his dress pooling around him to look like Ella was sitting down. "Ella you are a violator and we are here to take you in." the last guard said but as he took a few steps near Pippin then swung around with a shovel in his head knocking him out cold and laughing as he ran away.
The four hobbits then met up and gave each other high fives and shared laughter but as they heard a throat cleared they turned around to see the ten guards standing behind them with a look that said 'you are in deep trouble'
"Elven guards.... are hard to take out." Merry said as he was now panting due to exhaustion so was the other three hobbits, Pippin then said
"Get ready to face the wrath of Lord Elrond and maybe Gandalf."
