It was back. That sinking feeling when they were near. Blaze had become too angry, his change taking him over before he could stop it, and he knew he had just endangered his family and his Lady. She seemed to not be mad, telling him that it had really only been a matter of time before something like this had happened. She questioned nothing, blamed him for nothing, and simply went about the tasks of keeping them safe. She succeeded for five years hiding them from unwanted eyes and ears, but she felt them coming, and through her they felt it was well. Blaze felt her unease for the first time in five years like the stabbing of a knife through his gut. She quickly went about packing everything they could ever want, as Mountain, River and Forest joined her, stuffing what had been set up in the house into the little charmed bag that their Lady carried. Every book, picture, personal electronic, blanket, piece of clothing and non perishable food was thrown into the bag. Every trace of their life in this house disappeared, and so their Lady's plan was to be put into action.

...

It was hot that night and the five occupants of the house found themselves crammed into one room, trying to get as much sleep as possible before the trackers found them and they had to escape. The wolves slept in their natural form except for Mountain. His arms were wrapped around Lady Clarity, his white hair shone in stark contrast against her moonlit snow white tresses. Her hair was shorter than she had ever remembered it being, but the shoulder length curls framed her face perfectly, it was hard to decide what he liked better. She was sleeping with her favorite black and white polk-a-dot zip up sweatshirt, white tank top and jean shorts. Her black keds were tied and small bag was slung over one shoulder, cutting across her middle. His Lady was ready to flee again to protect them, and he desperately wished that they could end they're running, that he could find a way to bring her home, and out of this place, yet he did not know what magic that would require or how they ended up here in the first place. All he knew was that they were in danger, and a brilliant light flew from his Lady's hand and they were here in this strange new place, where elves and dire wolves did not exist, in a forest near a river and she lay on the ground unmoving. When she finally woke all memories of their home were gone, but her fea longed to be back.

Clarity woke and flew off the bed, Mountain, Forest, River and Blaze following closely behind her, out the window just before the Feds burst through the locked bedroom door. They could hear the shouts to catch them and follow them before they were lost in the forest, but the 5 kept moving, running faster and faster putting more and more distance between them and their would be captors.

Forest did not understand why his Lady let out such a shout until he caught up with her and saw the orcs standing before them and he knew they were home, how he did not know, but that question would have to wait till later, for his Lady was now in danger.

...

"These people have got to be the ugliest people I have ever seen!" Clarity exclaimed laughing.

"My Lady, these are not people, these are orcs." Mountain replied, chuckling slightly at his Lady and her familiar antics.

"Oh.. OH. Hmm, we are back in Middle Earth then. I wonder how that happened." Clarity replied.

"If I may, my Lady, I think we have other problems right now." Mountain told her.

"Yes, I can see that my friend."

"What a pretty little Elleth so far from the borders of the two elven realms" came the snickering reply of the orc Clarity deemed as the leader.

"Lets eats her last, save the best for last." came the reply of what Clarity could only deem as the ugliest orc in the group, which seeing as they were all hideous, meant this one really had been handed the short end of the ugly stick.

Clarity smiled, "Awe, but we have company my friend. Six warriors coming from the tree line in front of us, and six coming from the tree line behind us. They plan to wait and watch, before coming to our aid. They think us strange."

Blaze growled, How dare they stand back when our Lady is being threatened! The cowards! He projected in the link established through their Lady's ability.

"We are strange, my friend. Be nice to them. They have yet to harm or insult us." Came his Lady's reply.

Are you sure you are ready for the fight, My Lady? It has been a long time since you have had to take up arms in such a manner. Forest thought.

"I'm ready," Came her confident reply as an arrow flew past her head. The wolves growled in anger, but their Lady simply looked at her attacker. "Didn't anyone teach not to interrupt when someone is holding a conversation? If you wish is to die sooner by my blade, I will gladly oblige for that insult."

To Haldir and his wardens, her movements were almost impossible to see, even with their elf eyes. She was fast, faster than anyone he had ever seen, and he was positive that if it was hard for them to make out her movements, the orcs in front of her never saw her attacks coming, and so by the time they fell at her feet another two had already been cut down. The battle that they thought would take an hour lasted all of fifteen minutes and only when the all the bodies of the dead orcs were piled did Haldir and his wardens step out from behind the rocks they were observing the battle from, all six of them sure that the strange elleth and her five wolf companions failed to notice them.

"Awe so half of our creepy stalkers have decided to come out of hiding and talk." the elleth said laughing.

Haldir, schooled his features quickly, sure that no one had noticed his surprise, but his wardens were not so quick and this elicited another laugh from the elleth before them.

"Do not worry, I am sure you are all as shocked as the elves behind the rocks over there are to know that I felt your presence heading towards us, before any of you could tell how many of us there were." With that said she stuck out her hand towards the pile of orcs and blue fire emerged from her hand, burning the bodies into oblivion, and leaving nothing behind, not even a scorch mark upon the grass.

She was dangerous, that much was for certain. Haldir struggled with curiosity to know if she was on their side, to get to know her better and to kill her now where she stood unsuspecting, and of no threat to him, Lothlorien or his Lord and Lady.

The white wolf with blue-gray eyes transformed into a stunning muscular man, standing protectively in front of the elleth. The way the man's eyes glowed could only be a sign that no one would harm their Lady as long as his was there. The four other wolves circled thier Lady growling at Haldir and his wardens, clearly feeling the threat that Haldir had only considered in his mind. The grey wolf with red eyes growled louder stepping forward towards Haldir in a blatant threat.
