Pro loge(I DO NOT OWN LORD OF THE RINGS)
The young child slipped under the window curtain as quietly as a mouse, she had to hide had to make sure that no one found her. Carefully she monitored her breath till it was almost undetectable even to her own ears. She waited in anticipation as she saw the shadow cross the floor only inches away from her hiding spot, she didn't move, moving met he would find her and the game would be over. Soon the shadow passed her hiding spot and an answering squeak of the floor boards signaled that her follower had gone, she let out a little sigh of relief and couldn't help the giggle that came from her lips, but the little giggle was her undoing.
Hands shot out from the shadows and grabbed her by her midsection, she screeched as she was lifted into the air her captor making mock evil noises as she giggled in delight at being swung in the air.
"Ha-ha, I've got you now." The man said as he tickled the girl in his arms, she laughed and giggled as she squirmed to get away from the onslaught of tickles.
"Daddy, stop it." The girl cried which only made the man laugh all the more as he kissed his beloved child on the cheek.
"I will always love you Arainya, no matter what." Arainys's father said as he held the little girl. "I must go now to defend out people on the border but know that I will always love you my little free spirit." He said and kissed the small girl once again, it was sad he though, his child was only two falls old and already she understood the concept of war even if not fully. He set the girl down patting her on the head she was a perfect mixture of him and his wife, with her deep green eyes and wild dark red hair with a single tendril of hair the pale blonde of her mothers, the rest not quiet auburn and not quiet the orange red of some of their people, but she had all the spirit and freedom of the fire of the dragon that had once haunted the city of Dale.
"I must go now, take care of your mother for me and don't give my father too much trouble." He said quietly Arainya nodded solemnly and hugged her father's leg one last time before he road to the borders to defend their people.
It was the last time she had ever seen him.
