If you have any ideas or hints, that would also help. You can flame me if you want, but just keep in mind that constructive criticism is actually taken in. Thanx! Hope u like it.





'I told you ma! I do not want to leave Rivendell! You cannot make me travel with you to the forests of Mirkwood!' Lorelia, a beautiful but temperous elf stormed out of her mother's quarters and stomped down the stairs and out into the beautiful gardens of Rivendell. 'How can she still make me go when I told her that I wished to stay here! I am 1499 years old! You would think she would let me make my own decisions!'

Lorelia looked nothing like her mother in that she had perfectly straight golden brown hair, to her mother's wavy raven hair. She had beautiful green eyes that made you think of the beautiful green leaves that were now falling around her, while her mother had sparkling violet eyes. It was summer, and there couldn't be a more wonderful scene. There was only one problem. The elf maiden was shaking with anger.

Her mother had decided that she, Lorelia and her brother were going to move to east Mirkwood. Lorelia had made a decision a few months ago to live her whole life in Rivendell amongst her friends. In a place where she knew every single detail about the trees in the gardens, and the crystal water in the rivers. She had already found a guy that she was actually happy to be around. If she were to leave Rivendell to go and live in some forest that she barely knew anything about...

'Damnit!' she yelled punching a thick tree next to her. 'She always has to go and stuff things up for me!'

Suddenly a long arm snaked around her waist.' Who always stuffs everything up for you?'

'Ferine! I didn't hear you.' She said twisting around so that she could face him.

'That is obvious.' said the elf pulling the girl into a kiss. 'What has your mother done to you Lothamin (my flower)?' he asked, his brown eyes watching her try to control her anger. 'You're shaking like a leaf!'

'I can not believe my mother! A few weeks ago I told her straight out that I wanted to live my whole life here in Rivendell, and that I didn't want to travel, right?'

'mm hmm'

'Now. She tells me that she's decided to move to North Mirkwood with Isanthe and me!' said the girl indicating her brother. 'Mirkwood isn't even as lovely as it is here in Rivendell.'

'What! You cannot leave! What about all your friends? ...Me?' he cried wrapping both his arms around her and pulling her close to him.

'I know. It just isn't fair. This time she's not changing her mind. Usually when I start yelling she gives in. I even threw a pillow at her for the sake of the heavens! She's not budging.' Sobbed Lorelia dropping her head onto his shoulder.

'Do not worry.' He said stroking her sheet of brown hair. 'I can always visit you. Mirkwood is not too far a ride from here.'

'Yes, I know, but it won't be the same.' She murmured.

'Hey, come on. It is getting dark, you may as well tell Shianti before she finds out some other way. I believe she would prefer to hear it from you, than from a servant or something.' As if on cue, a pretty blond elf came running up to them.

'Hey Lori! Hi Ferine. I hope I'm not interrupting anything' she said smiling mischievously.

'Nah. Lori was just about to leave to and find you. She has something to tell you.' Said Ferine pecking her once more on the cheek and slowly walking off, staring at the red streaked sky.

'So, Lori? What did you wanna tell me? Did something happen between you and Ferine?' asked Shianti, her hazel eyes shining in the sunset. 'Hey what's wrong Lori? You look upset. Did something happen to your brother? I know how much you care for that kid. Or did something else happen? Come on, you know you can tell me.'

*Valar give me help.* Lorelia begged. 'Are you sure you're ready? It's gonna be pretty hard for you to take.'

'Of course! Please, tell me. If it's bad then I can help you fix it.' Said Shianti in her usual "I'm waiting, but if you take too long my patience will run out." voice.

'Alright. Here goes.'





Well. That's chapter one. Take note that all the names that have been used so far are my own. Other than that, the rest is J.R.R.Tolkien's. R/R plz ^ .^ Like I said, it should get better.
