Chapter 3

The sound of birds singing woke Eilish at daybreak the next morning. She peered at her watch through bleary eyes. It was 4:52 am. The bed roll next to her was empty, though it had obviously been slept in. She sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Legolas and the guards were a short distance away, sitting around the fire and packing their belongings. Eilish got up and carefully, barefoot as she was, picked her way over to where Legolas sat.

"Good morning," She said taking a seat near the elf prince.

"Maer aur, Eilish," Legolas greeted her with a smile. "Did you rest well?"

"Yeah, surprisingly. I never slept well when we used to go camping," She replied. "Funny, eh?"

"Eh?" Legolas repeated, perplexed.

"Oh, sorry," Eilish laughed, "It's a Canadianism... slang. Everyone from Canada says it, whether they realize it or not. In this case, I said it in place of 'isn't it'. It has many different meanings, though."

"I see," Legolas nodded. "We shall be leaving within the hour. You may wish to change your clothing."

"Oh, for sure," Eilish said, looking at her rumpled scrubs. "My lovely, wrinkled scrubs that I wore for a 12 hour shift yeaterday."

"This is your uniform, then?"

"Yeah," She nodded. "I figured they'd be more comfortable to sleep in than jeans. Uh... the pants I was wearing yesterday," She added when she saw his confused look. He nodded in understanding.

Eilish got up and started toward her bed and backpack, then stopped. "Hey, Legolas? Um, do you think it'll be possible to wash when we stop tonight? Not only myself, but my clothes?"

"Certainly," Legolas affirmed. "You dislike being dirty, I take it?" His eyes twinkled with suppressed laughter.

"Very much," Eilish replied emphatically. "And wearing dirty clothes is just as bad." At that she continued on her way to collect her ces aes and get dressed. She went behind the bushes again and got into her clothes: yesterdays jeans, which weren't too dirty and a dusty blue t-shirt that read: 'Good girl with bad intentions'. It was a chilly morning so she pulled on her baby blue Wilson hoodie over her head.

Sitting down on her blanket she pulled on her favourite Winnie-the-Pooh socks and her navy blue Nike cross trainers. Then, digging through her bag, she pulled out a hair brush and, after pulling the elastic off her now messy pony tail, began to comb out her long red hair. Once it was free on tangles, she tied it back again, and tied an army print bandana around her head, covering her slightly dirty hair.

At the stream she brushed her teeth, never so glad that she'd remembered to bring a toothbrush and toothpaste to work yesterday. Then she packed everything back in her bag and walked back to where the elves were waiting. The horses were packed and ready to begin the day's ride. Eilish looked at the large animals skeptically.

"Um, Legolas," She said, apprehension clearly visible on her face. "I haven't been on a horse since I was 11."

"Do not worry, Eilish," Legolas said with a reassuring smile. "You shall ride with me." He mounted his horse with graceful ease, then Tathar helped Eilish climb on behind him. Lalven handed her her backpack, which she slipped on. "Now, Eilish, you must hold on to me, or you will fall," Legolas told her.

Her cheeks flu, Ei, Eilish reluctantly slipped her arms around Legolas' slender waist. She had never been this close to a guy and it unnerved her. The four guards now mounted their horses and the party began the long day's ride.
