The first part is the Preface. I hape you like it.


Dear Diary,

"I never gave much thought to how I'd die. Whether it be by a steel blade or the point of an arrow I did not really care. However, never once did I think that I would die of a broken heart. Everything I knew lay in that small field just outside of Mirkwood, but now it has gone just like my family. Moreover, just when I thought nothing could get any worse, I lost another person to deaths hand. Why is life so cruel? What did we ever do to the world to make it hate us so much? More importantly, why did it have to be him? The army is advancing now, I must go."

Yours forever

Nikkaly XO


Legolas Greenleaf was riding through Mirkwood forest on the back of a white stallion called Therilhoph. It was a bright, sunny day with almost no clouds in the sky and the 15-year-old Elf was lost in thought. Well he was until he heard singing. It was a sweet song in a language that was unknown to him. The melody was a soft combination of high and low notes. The singer sounded like a young female. He quickly tracked down the source of the singing. It came from a clearing . In the center of the clearing was a young girl that was on her knees picking flowers. She had blond hair, pale skin, and a tan dress. Her feet were bare and in her hair was a purple flower. Even though the Elf listened closely to the song she was singing, he still did not recognize the language.

"Tra ner casa tath meka aric,

Trei y casan dekis'ne matra ner rutha,

Mari ar kes bekra kes mytri trei sesh,

Drek mari Qual dekis wek's shelk ner."

(Take me through the darkest dream, To a place you'll hear me scream, And as I sleep I say to thee, Hide and Seek you can't catch me." English Translation from Vampiric. I apologize if this means anything offensive to anyone, it's a made-up language so I don't know if any of the words are real.)

Whatever language it was, it was beautiful. The girl suddenly turned around when he dismounted. She must have heard the sound of the leaves crunching under his feet. He saw that she had the most beautiful icy blue eyes.

"Shek depri dekis?" It was obviously a question. (Who are you?)

"I do not understand," said Legolas in elvish. The girl cocked her head to the side, apparently not understanding him anymore than he understood her.

"Do you speak common tongue?" Legolas asked in English.

"Yes I do." She answered also in English. "And I'll repeat my earlier question: Who are you?"

"I am Legolas of Mirkwood, and you?"

"Legolas huh, nice name, and from Mirkwood too. That's interesting." Legolas could not tell if she was talking to him or herself. Either way she still hadn't answered his question. He decided not to push it and asked another one.

"What language were you speaking?"

"Huh? Oh, um, Vampiric." She answered; again, it was as if she was focusing on something else.

"You do know that, that flower is Foxglove? A poison?" Legolas asked her, pointing to her hair.

"Um, yeah I know, but it's not poisonous unless you eat it." She was right.

"So I am guessing that you are not planning on eating it?"

"No, I'm not. I'm not suicidal." She looked at him and it felt as if her icy eyes reached into his soul.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"So many questions." She said, smiling. "Now I must go."

"I could take you, I have a horse." He looked back at the horse. When he turned around, she was gone.


She was running through the forest at close to eighty miles per hour. The wind was in her hair and her bare feet were barley touching the forest floor. Her tan dress was flying behind her. Oh how she loved to run. She dodged a tree and laughed.

"Dekis wek's tril ner!" She laughed. (You can't hit me!)

She was almost at the edge of the forest when she slowed down. Catching her breath, she walked into the sunlight. Her hair shimmered and glittered.

"Treath." She sighed. (Home.)

(Switching to her POV)

She walked in the small cabin and was instantly hit by the smell of food.

"Barical why must you worry at a time like this." A black haired girl sitting at the table said. She had green eyes, pale skin, and was wearing a grey dress.

"Because I must Katanna." Barical answered. He had shaggy, brown hair, black eyes, and was wearing a grey tunic with black breeches. He was maybe eight years old. Katanna, however, was eleven.

"Aly!" A young girl screamed when the blond girl walked in.

"What is it Anna?" Aly asked as the girl jumped in her arms. Anna just smiled. She had short brown hair, Hazel eyes, and a light green dress. She was the youngest at six years old.

"Annalia has been a pain all day." Katanna chimed in.

"Don't even start Kat." This sentence was said by an older woman, maybe somewhere in her late teens early twenties. She had long blackish/brown hair and blue eyes. Though she looked to be young she was nearly one thousand.

"But Mama-" Katanna started but the woman cut her off.

"No Kat you need to be nice to your sister, Tari knows that Nikkaly is."

"Thank you mama." Nikkaly (aka Aly) smiled.

"You always agree with Anna, I hate you Ameliana!" Katanna yelled, running out of the room.

"What's her problem?" A girl asked walking into the room. She had long flaming red hair, brown eyes, and a lovely blue dress.

"She is just having a bad day, Seralea." Ameliana said.

"What's new?" A boy chimed in. His spiky black hair in his face hiding his grey eyes from view.

"Will, honestly." Nikkaly said looking at her brother. "Leave Kat alone. It's not her fault. And would it kill you to wear a shirt, and I don't know, shoes maybe?" This was said because all William had on was a pair of black breeches.

"Where's Marcus?" Barical asked looking out the window.

"Hunting, why?" Ameliana answered. Just then they heard the beating of large wings.

"Speak of the Devil/Vampire/Immortal." Seralea said and Nikkaly laughed. They heard the door open and a teen boy walked in. He had long unkempt brown hair and crystal blue eyes.

"Marcus there you are." Katanna said, handing her eldest brother a coat, for all he had on were a pair of pants.

"Aly you seem almost overjoyed about something, please tell us?" Marcus asked. Damn him and his ability to read her so easily. Nikkaly sighed.

"I met a boy."


Oooo, she met a boy. So sweet. Review please, it'll help with the next chapter. :)
