CH: 1- And So It Has Began
Isabela shook her head. This was the third time since she had went over the content of the box that has been left to her by grandmother when she had passed away as the the part of the will, and now it was her own to keep. Isabela did not know much about her own parents other than that they had died when she was young and that she was raised by her grandmother who was her only living family member. Now, she was gone as well too and Isabela was on her own once again and inheriting the antique shop after her grandmother's death. She never considered herself much of a beauty for as she had been told that she had her mother's coffee-brown hair and her eyes were light brown with a touch of green that would appear only when the light hit them on the right time. Yet something different was still there and at the first Isabela did not pay much of an attention around when it came to her ears that were slightly pointed at the tips and not round as it might be with the rest of the humans and for that she made sure that her hair was long enough to cover them from the sight.
The content of the box was quite old and if not dusted with the time and for that she had wondered if anyone ever that wise to open the box to the time to time. Inside were some of the photos of her family, jewellery that had belonged to her grandmother and the pile of the old letters that were tied up with a blue ribbon nothing special to look or to read them either. But that was not the thing that interested her but the delicate looking necklace made of silver with a leaf shape pedant made of the green gold that was just too lovely to be ignored. There strange kind of the touch of warmth when she touched the jewel that she had never had felt before and let the warmth of the peace surrounded her bringing the touch of unknown longing that Isabela had never had experienced before. Well that was strange and Isabela closed the box for it was getting late and she had to get up early for she was leaving for the trip in the morning. Making sure that necklace was around her neck she slipped into her bed and soon was asleep.
The sound of wind dancing in the leaves and the song of the birds close by sounded odd in her ears. It remind her of the forest and it was close by and slowly Isabela opened her eyes only to be blinded out by the blaze of morning sunlight. She blinked slowly and tried to block the light then forced herself to look around and was to get up when she noticed at tip of an arrow being pointed right at her forehead. The fear passed through her being and she froze seeing that she was not alone and to make the things worse she was no longer in the bed and a figure before her was clearly an elf and one of arrogant lines that were the part of his face and the striking blue eyes not mention the long hair that was sun kissed gold. An elf did not say a word but was on a high alert and ready to shoot an arrow at her any sudden movement which only meant that isabela should stay where she was.
There was a sound of a low melodic whistle and then a laughter and then two other elves appeared out from nowhere like they were the passing silver fog among the tall golden leaf trees. She had no idea what they were speaking to each other.
"It seems that Rumil had found something this time." And elves moved in their direction and Isabela knew this was not going to be a good thing. "Move back Rumil let us see what you had caught this time."
An elf in the question slowly lowered his arrow and stepped back from her, but then did not mean that he might not be using it if he suspects that she was going to do anything stupid and try to run. The first of two elves approached her and laughter slightly then turned and called another one.
"Haldir, come here. It was not a deer after all, but a maiden."
An elf in the question turned his head and Isabela found herself staring back at the pair of deepest midnight blue eyes she had ever seen or thought could exist and unlike other two golden haired elves his hair was kissed by moonlight and it was glowing at the sunlight as he caught her eyes as well too something changed in his gaze, but she could still see a high touch of arrogance in his bearing as he walked up to her. Golden haired elf back off and began to tease his brother again as silver haired elf moved to closer causing Isabela to slowly back off from him a slight fear.
"Do not be afraid, I mean no harm." He spoke back but not in the language that other two elves spoke but that she understood quite well." What are you doing here all alone? Are you lost?"
For a moment Isabela could not say a word only to stare back at an elf before her and Haldir was very much aware of that as well too but it did not bother him that much.
"I think I am lost for this is not place I knew before I went into the bed last night. I am sure I am still dreaming still."
"What is it your name?" An elf asked again glad to know that at least she was not harmed or attacked before Rumli had found her.
"Who are you?" SHe asked back not wanting to give her name just yet.
"My name is Haldir and you are at the north borders of woods known as Lothlorien."
