Summary: Labour and delivery nurse Eilish Bell is in a car accident and finds herself thrown into Middle Earth.
Chapter 8
In the morning Eilish woke from the best sleep she'd had in a long time. As she was still lying in bed, rubbing the sleep from her eyes, there was a knock on the door, then the door opened and Legolas poked his head in.
"Come in, Calenlass, I'm awake," She called to him.
"Maer aur, Caran," Legolas smiled as he stepped into the room, closing the door behind him.
"'Morning, Calenlass," Eilish sat up in bed, leaning against the headboard as Legolas crossed the room and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Did you rest well, Caran?" Legolas asked.
"Yeah, actually I did," She replied. "I haven't slept that well for a long time."
"I spoke with Lord Elrond this morn. He believes that, in the event you will accompany a group on a quest to destroy the ring, you should learn archery."
"Archery?" Eilish raised one eyebrow skeptically.
"Aye. You must be able to defend yourself in some manner, and therefore I am to begin teaching you the bow today."
"Okay then," Eilish nodded in agreement, then scrambled out of bed, grabbed some of her clean clothes and went in the bathroom to get ready. She emerged a few minutes later, wearing her jeans and blue 'Good girl with bad intentions' t-shirt, in the middle of unbraiding her hair. She grabbed her hairbrush from her dresser and ran it through her hair a few times before quickly throwing her hair up into a messy teardrop ponytail.
"Okay, I'm good to go," She announced.
Legolas looked surprised and pleased to see her ready so quickly. "Most females would have taken much longer to ready themselves," He remarked.
"Not this girl!" Eilish rolled her eyes, "I am not a very high maintenance girl. I have better things to do with my time. I mean, jeez, we're not going to London to visit the Queen!"
"Going to London to visit the Queen?" Legolas repeated, confused.
"It's just an expression. London is a city in the United Kingdom, which includes the countries of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Queen Elizabeth II is its queen and she lives in a palace in London."
Legolas nodded his understanding. "Shall we go?" He asked.
"Yep, let's blow this popsicle stand," Eilish agreed, which led to another explanation of the meaning of a slang term. :~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:
Legolas had procured a beginners bow from the armoury and in Imladris' practice range, began to instruct her in its use. He was pleased to find Eilish was a natural with the bow. He helped her adjust her position slightly.
"Caran, you have a natural talent for archery," He praised. He wrapped his arms around her from behind and kissed her cheek. "You are a very easy student to instruct."
"I used to be a figure skater when I was a teenager," Eilish told him as he released her, "So, I'm used to remembering the perfect body position to get the result you want." She loosed another arrow, which found its way to the center of the target. "Although I call that the luck o' the Irish," She laughed, mimicking her grandmother's thick Irish brogue.
"What is figure skating?" Legolas inquired.
"Um, it's a sport," She explained, "Performed on ice, while wearing special boots with a metal blade attached to the bottom of the boot. I can sketch it for you later so you can see what it actually looks like. You glide on the ice on the blade and perform various moves to music, such as jumps and spins. It's kind of like a dance."
"Jumps?" Legolas was looking more and more confused.
"Um, hang on," Eilish handed him the bow and quiver of arrows. "I can still do a few things, even off the ice." She took a breath and launched herself into the air, turning one and a half rotations and landed backwards on one foot. "That's a jump called a single axel. There are five other types of jumps, called single, double, triple jump, depending on the number of turns you do while in the air. Each type of jump has a different take off."
"I see," Legolas looked interested, "And you studied this sport?"
"Yeah, for quite awhile. Um, about 14 years, I think. I loved it. I entered competitions when I was younger and won some of them. I had to quit when I went to university to study nursing."
"But now it is helping you learn to shoot," Legolas grinned, "Shall we continue a little longer?"
"Yep," Eilish took the bow from him and positioned herself, notching an arrow and taking aim.

That evening in the Hall of Fire, Eilish was introduced to the five hobbits who were currently in Imladris. As she spoke with the two youngest, Merry and Pippin, she couldn't help but think how well the Lord of the Rings movies had been cast. The two hobbits were just like their movie counterparts, in looks and manner.
"Estel!" Legolas grinned as he encountered his friend, whom Eilish knew to be Aragorn, the future king of Gondor.
"Legolas! It is good to see you, meldir," The ranger embraced his friend.
"Estel, I want you to meet Eilish Bell," Legolas introduced her to the Dunadan. "Melui, this is Arwen's intended, and Lord Elrond's foster son, Estel."
"Hiril-nin," Aragorn bowed in elven fashion, with a pleasant smile, though he shot Legolas a curious look at his uncharacteristic endearment.
"It's nice to meet you," Eilish smiled, a little shyly. "You can call me Eilish, or Lish," She added.
"Lord Elrond tells me you will join us at the council tomorrow," Aragorn said casually.
"Yes, meldir, she will be," Legolas said before Eilish could reply. "You shall hear the whole story tomorrow," He finished, his tone firm.
"Aye, my apologies, Eilish," Aragorn said sincerely.
At that moment Arwen joined them. "Maer aduial, Eilish, Legolas," She said brightly. "Eilish, I have come to ask if you will grace us with a song. Legolas spoke highly of your voice."
Eilish crossed her arms in front of her and mock glared at the elven prince. "Did he now?"
Legolas had the grace to blush. "Aye, I did, melui," He said grinning sheepishly. "Your voice is lovely. Will you not sing for us?" He looked at her pleadingly. "Sing the song of Avril Lavigne," He urged.
Eilish couldn't keep a straight face any longer. "Okay, okay, but not that song. It's one thing to explain the lyrics to you and the guards, but entirely another to explain them to a hall full of elves. But there's another one I suppose I could sing."
"Please, Caran," Legolas pleaded softly, "For me?"
Eilish sighed. "Alright, but quit with the puppy dog eyes," She warned, "Or I'll change my mind."
"Thank you, Caran," Legolas said with a grin, as he placed a soft kiss on her lips, to the glee and amusement of Arwen and Aragorn respectively.
"You owe me, Calenlass," She said seriously, a mischievous twinkle in her blue eyes.
At that Eilish left and followed Arwen to the performance area, where Arwen introduced her to the crowd of elves. Then Arwen left Eilish alone on the stage, the attention of the entire hall on her. Eilish glanced nervously around before her eyes lighted on Legolas, who gave her a reassuring smile. Relaxing, Eilish cleared her throat and began to sing.
"Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
What it something you said?
Don't leave me hangin'
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
You were everything, everything
That I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be
But we lost it
All of our memories so close to me
Just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
So much for my happy ending
You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
You were everything, everything
That I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be
But we lost it
All of our memories so close to me
Just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you care
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done
He was everything, everything
That I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be
But we lost it
All of our memories so close to me
Just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
You were everything, everything
That I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be
But we lost it
All of our memories so close to me
Just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
So much for my happy ending
So much for my happy ending."
Eilish's voice faded to an end and after a moment the hall burst into appreciative applause, but Eilish was aware of none but the fair-haired elf-prince whose eyes had been rivetted to her through the entire song.
