Kalia flew above Sorell and waved down at him. She saw him wave back and performed a loop in the air.

>Yes! 10 pages in such a short time! Thank you, guys! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] <

Thengise watched the fairies flying above them. They seemed so content when soaring through the air. She looked over at Collette and saw the angry pony. She looked over at Calad who had been quiet through out most of the ride and smiled. It seemed that at times he was almost sane.

Nayru rode up next to Sorell. "You still seem worried. What's wrong?" She asked. Nayru matured more and more by the day.

"I almost told Colette about my parents." Sorell said.

"And? Isn't that a good thing? Maybe she would understand you better." Sorell shook his head.

"Maybe you need a little fly. Go up there with Kalia. I'll catch up."

Nayru wispered 'Delion hi erit.' *Follow the others in fae* and she jumped off and flew into the sky.

Kalia waved as Nayru joined her in the air.
"Hello Nayru. What brings you up here?"

Collette was silent. Sorell was a good person, she knew that.
But something about him gave of an aura of toughness and being shy. She almost had him figued out, Her very own brother was just like that, acted tough and shy to cover up real feelings that were either pain or misery.
something also gave her the feeling if seh were a bit more open to Sorell, he would have told her, and wouldnt be so shy and quiet if he did maybe....but she told herself she wouldnt dare ask.

Calad continued to ride, and looked up at the faeries flying above. He had no interest in what they were talking about, but he could hardly hear them over the wind in his ears, anyway.

Collette became immensly bored and sore once more, and decided to sing another song with Kalia, Thengise and whoever els might now it and join in.

Calad slowed down a bit, lagging at the back of the group.

As Thengise sang she looked back at Calad and saw he was lagging behind.

"Noro lim!"she yelled to the horse and the horse sped up to them.

"We can't have you lagging behind. You don't talk much. So how old are you,"she said knowing he was around the same age.

The elf had forgotten how old he was.. he merely shrugged, and clung onto the horse's neck; suprised at the sudden burst of speed.

Collette tried to smile at Calad, as he clung to the horse. She remebered the same reaction when she was foirst on the horse. She wondered though, Clad was an elf. there must have been a time when he rode horses. Answers would oon come, she did not speak her thoughts

Calad started to wonder where Ithilien was, and stopped clinging to the horse as the steed seemed to be annoyed by it, but continued to gallop on, between trees, over grass, past twigs that snapped as the horses stepped on it.

Kalia called down to the others.
"WE're alost to Ithilien, just a bit more!"

Thengise smiled knowing that they would soon be there. It brought them one step closer to healing Calad.

((I will be gone for 9 days, starting tonight. You may post for my character [just don't make him do outrageous things that is not part of his personality], or you may temporarily halt the RP. There may or may not be a computer with Internet where I will be staying. Thank you.))

>K, bye, Fifth! We'll miss you!<

<<bye Fifth>>

They had soon reached the gates of Ithilien. Thengise stopped her horse at the gates along with the rest of her companions.

>I'm going to try being Calad for one post and see what you others think, ok?<

Kalia landed and stood next to Calad. She looked at his face and saw a blank stare. She patted his back led the horse into the city.
======================
Calad stared straight ahead as she led him into Ithilien, his mind was elsewhere. As he came back to reality, he saw the city and quivered, shrinking down in his seat.

<<That's good enough for me!>>

Thengise walked into the city. She had only been there once as a child. She looked at Collette who was in aww. Collette looked over at Thengise and then over at Calad. Thengise knew what she was thinking, How could Thengise have feelings for Calad who made no sense was a psycho. Thengise thought about it. I guess it was because she saw a glowing light within him which still lived even after going through all he had gone through.

She looked over at Kalia who seemed to be pondering the same question as she looked at Calad and then Thengise.

"Welcome," Kalia said, "to fair Ithilien! This is where we will be stopping for a while, to stock up on supplies, and to and to take a short rest before the ong part of our journey." Kalia took the horses and brought them over to a stable right next to the gates, where they could be easily accessed. She led the group through twists and turns and to Faramir's dwelling. "Shall we go inside?" she asked.
=========================
Calad followed along silently as he was led through Ithilien, getting strange stares from passersby and glaring back at them. As they reached Faramir's house, he screeched and hid behind Thengise.

Thengise grabbed Calad by the hand and took him into Faramir's house. They sat down together by the rest of the companions.

>Thengise is gonna be Calad for a bit now<

Kalia bowed to Faramir and introduced each of her companions. He bowed to each in return and sat back down.
"Lord, may we each have a room in which to stay for a few days, and some money that we may be able to buy supplies? Or will you be giving us supplies?" Kalia said, looking into his eyes.
"I shall of course be giving you the supplies, and you shall stay in the extra quarters in my home," Faramir replied, looking at her. He snapped his fingers and a butler person came out. He led them to their rooms, Calad first, not trusting him. When Kalia was shown to her room, she walked to the bed and dumped her stuff on it. She walked into the bathroom and began to wash up.

Thengise was placed in a room across from Calad and next to both Collette and Kalia.
She set her things down and layed on the bed. She heard a screech coming from Calad's room She ran into his room and saw him on the floor by the bed. He was mumbling words and heard him say,"prison! no no. let me out."

Thengise rushed by Calad's side and pulled him onto the bed. He began to kick at her but then realized who it was and stopped with a sad look on his face.

"Do not worry. This is not a prison. This is a room and you need to rest,"Thengise said softly as she stroked his hair.

Kalia burst into the room and saw that everything was now ok. "If you don't mind I think i'm going to sleep on the chair by his bed,"Thengise told Kalia.

Kalia smiled at Thengise as she offered to stay with Calad in his room.
"Sure," she said, walking to Calad. "Are you all right?" she asked, looking at him and stroking his head.

Calad stared at Kalia but didn't do anything. At the moment he was partially sane and realized how tired he was. He was soon asleep on the bed

"Well good night. See you in the morning,"Thengise said to Kalia as Calad fell asleep.

Collette was jumping on her bed , to test its comfort. ' WHEEEEEEEEEEE!" then something below it smashed and her bed went lopsided. She proceeded in touching the painting over the bed post , and it ended up falling the floor with a sickening thud . She tryed to put it back up, but all it did was scratch the frame. ' OoopS! 'She wa poking at the sculptures, but they ended up falling over too with a loud crash that sent Thengise and Kalia running into the room. " What happened ?!" the scremed observing Collettes room in an array of tatters . " i was just...it fell and - "
Thengise sighed loudly and went back to her room.

"Good night," Kalia laughed, walking out of the room. She closed the door and went back into her room. Once there, she tried sleeping, but couldn't. Everything was black, and then came back into focus. She stood up and opened the window. Kalia leapt out and plummeted to the ground. She tried opening her wings, but couldn't. She woke up gasping and sweating. She looked around and found that she was still in her room, but the window had been left open. She walked over and closed it. When she turned back around, there was another note, but thi time on her pillow. It read:
Leave the elf alone. Leave him alone if you value yours and your friends' lives.
She shook her head and ripped it up again. Stupid. There was no possible waty she would stop from helping Calad. She climbed into bed and fell asleep, this time having a peaceful sleep.

Collette awoke the next morning with a smile on her face as she rolled of her bed and walked to Kalias room in her Pajamas and offered her breakfast. Thengise was in Calads room, and she suspected they had already gotten breakfast since the pancakes she held were lumpy, the way a certain elf enjoyed them . ' Hi Kalia! want some breakfast? are you okay?'

Kalia sat up.
"Breakfast would be great right about now. Yeah, I'm fine. I just had a nightmare. How did you sleep? I trust you didn't kill anything else?" she asked, grinning.

* collette blushed * i was viewing the rather remarkable 8-set procelain tea set in the hallway that is now, thanks to my elbow an 8,000 peice set
* hands her breakfast * I wonder what Calad will be like when hes sane * wonders aloud *

Kalia looked at Collette. She put down her food and stared down at the blanket.
"Actually, we don't know if he can be healed. We're just taking him to see if he can," she said, rather ashamed.

* Collettes face tunrs pale, to purple * WHAT?! WHAT IF NEVER GETS HEALED/??? WHAT HAPPENS THEN WE JUST LET HIM GO? HE CANT STAY LIKE THIS!

Kalia jumped at Collette.
"Shh, don't let the others hear you! I knew I shouldn't have said that," she said, clamping one hand over Collette's mouth, and hitting herself with the other.

Thengise comes into the room bringing Calad with her by the hand. He throws himself on the floor and starts rocking back and forth

"Well I hope you all liked breakfast,"Thengise said blushing since she thought they were awful. She was used to having other people making her breakfast and was knew at the whole cooking thing.

She looks at them both and notices the frowns on thier face. "Why so down?"Thengise asked realizing how Collette was red with anger.

Collette frowned to herself not meaning to be untrustworthy.She really wanted Kalia to trust her with things so she mumbled that she was fine and went to wash the plates that she had strewn about the floor

<< i replied to the lord tohlos rpg thingy k?>>

"What's going on?"Thengise asked Kalia becoming worried.

Kalia looked at Thengise.
"Nothing, nothing's wrong," she said, looking at Collette. She hoped she hadn't hurt her feelings. She bent down and helped clean up the dishes on the floor.

Collette left with the dishes with a face so nuetral, it was as if her head were thouhtless and untraceable at the moment, a gift she had discovered when she stumbled and broke a picture in Bag End when seh went to visit her best friends

Thengise knew that everything wasn't ok. She looked at her friends as they picked up the dishes and realized they were trying not to show their face. "Please tell me what's going on,"she pleaded looking at Calad and becoming worried.
