Note: I am so sorry for the long wait. Lots of stuff have been happening lately and I haven't had a muse or time for updating. But I do feel bad for not updating in so long so I made this longer than usual.

-Also I'm going to address Secret Moon Princess' concern to the public: "Aww. Poor Legolas xD He just doesn't know what to do with himself. BUT THEY KILLED THE FARMER GUY WHO HELPED HER! D NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I HOPE HIS WIFE KILLS YOU AND FEEDS YOUR ROTTING CORPSE TO THEWOLVES! Uggh. I'm slightly devastated. :/ But I guess that's pay-back for what I did to you my last chapter xP" - I hope everyone will breathe a sigh of relief at this: they did not kill the people who helped Selene in the second chapter. They killed the pirates who were with her when she escaped. So do not worry the farmer dude is alive and so is his wife. P.S: the character that was tied up is not the farmer's wife Clessa. It is a completely different oc.

Chapter 7 Trying to Escape

First Person - Unknown Woman's POV

Dark brown curls hung in front of my eyes as we sat along the trees for a break from walking. My eyes trained on the leader of the group as I quietly worked on loosening the ropes that were tied around my wrists and pulled behind my back. I could barely feel the pain in my feet anymore; whether I walked on grass, dirt, rock, or wood, it all now felt the same to my bruised feet. My arms were beginning to feel numb from the position they were in but I would not let it show and continued to work on the bonds. Two men sat at both my sides too confident in themselves to notice that I had been trying to loosen the ropes on my arms ever sense they sat me down in front of a tree. They were bastards and idiots; I would make them pay for everything the cowards did.

I kept glaring at everyone in the small search group we were in as I rotated my wrists a bit and noticed that I managed to loose the ropes a little. But it wasn't enough yet so I kept stretching and turning the rope in an attempt to loosen it more. I continued the same processes for around a half hour until I felt like the rope was loose enough to do what I had planned. The captain and two other pirates left into the woods to search for food. There were still four other people sitting around the place we were resting in; probably to keep an eye on me. I decided that now would be the best time to attempt an escape sense the group was now split up.

I shifted around before letting myself fall onto my side as the two pirates next to me laughed as I stayed on the ground. One of the pirates had a black hair, and long scar that went down the side of his left cheek and down the side of his neck. The other man beside me had a golden earring in his right ear and was shirtless exposing a tattoo of a mermaid on his left arm. The other two who were left here sat by a fire that they had started. One of them had patch covering his left eye and a beard, while the other had a shaven face and a few golden teeth when he grinned. I nicknamed them scar, mermaid, eye batch, and goldie in my mind.

«Τι εγινε? Δεν μπορεις να σηκωθεις?» (What's the matter? Can't get yourself back up?) The man with scar asked as he laughed and no one bothered to help me back up. Good, I didn't want them to. I shot him a glare; pretending that the fall was an accident as I scooted away lightly "trying" to get back up.

«Γιατι στο διαολο δεν τη σκοτωνουμε? Τιποτα καλο δε θα βγει απο την παρουσια της εδω!» (Why the hell don't we just kill this woman? Nothing good will come out of her being here.) Goldie grumbled as he eyed me suspiciously.

«Εντολες του καπετανιου» (The captain's orders.) A gruff voice answered, it was Eye Patch. The two of them argued back and forth about if the captain was wise to be keeping me alive. Goldie claiming that they ought to slit my throat and use me as bait for the Queen. I wanted to snort at that comment but I remained silent as the other two beside me got into the conversation. For a moment I was forgotten and that was all the time I needed. I slid my arms down and rolled up sitting on my hands and the rope. Next I pulled my knees up and lifted one leg a little at a time bringing my bound arms in front of my body instead of behind me.

Mermaid noticed the change of where my arms were and before he could shout out in warning, I ran behind him and brought my arms over his head down to his neck. The rope now was around his neck and I pulled back and began choking him. The struggle gained the attention of the three other men who quickly ran at me and Mermaid. I stopped choking him and pulled my hands over his head again, freeing him of the rope around his neck and kicked him forward into Eye Patch. Scar quickly threw punches at me and I managed to dodge them and shove my entire body weight into his stomach, knocking the wind out of him, then swiftly kicked him in the groin. I made quick work of Goldie and thrust my hands upward into his nose. There was a satisfying crack as he held his nose as blood gushed out.

I turned on my heel and ran into the woods to make them loose sight of me as Eye Patch and Mermaid stood up and ran after me into the woods. My hands were still tied together but now with them in front of me I had more range of motion to fight. I stepped on the fabric on my dress and heard a tare as I fell forward and slid a few feet into the grass and dirt. I scraped up my arms more but paid little attention to it as I scrambled to try to get back to my feet and continue running. But the sudden pressure on my back stopped me from doing so.

«Καπετάνιος!» (Captain!) I heard Eye Patch and Mermaid yell.

«Δεν μπορειτε καν να προσεχετε τη φιλακισμενη! Ειλικρινα, δεν μπορω να αφησω τιποτα σε εσας, ετσι?» (Couldn't even keep an eye on our little prisoner. Honestly, I can't leave anything to you bunch can I?) The leader said with an annoyed tone as he put more pressure on my back. I turned slightly and glared at him. The man simply grinned at me and brought his foot off my back and kicked me in the head. I remembered feeling myself get pushed onto my back and my hands untied before everything went black.

First Person - Selene's POV

I was glaring at the woman who barged into my room after Faervel blushed, then shrieked, and ran out of my room as if Lord Hades was on her tail. I honestly didn't understand what happened to cause her to have that sort of reaction. Then a tall woman with blonde hair and sparkling green eyes entered the room and looked at me angrily.

"Man agorech?!" (What did you do?!) The tall blonde shouted at me. I frowned not understanding as she pointed a long slim finger to my gown. I looked down wondering if there was a bug on it or something but I didn't see anything wrong with it.

«Δεν καταλαβαινω γιατι φαινεσαι τοσο αναστατωμενη.» (I do not understand why you seem upset.) I said to her but she just looked confused; then angry and walked over to me swiftly and grabbed my arm with one hand and then grabbed the cut up fabric off the ground with her other.

"Tiro!" (Look!) She shouted again and shoved the fabric in my face. I growled and hit the fabric out of her hand and grabbed her wrist to force her to let go of my arm.

«Μη μ' αγγιζεις με τετοια οικειοτητα!» (Do not touch me so easily!) I shouted back at her. Faervel had re-entered the room and looked at me uneasily. The tall blonde woman and I shouted back and forth. I didn't know what she was saying to me but I for one was insulting her on her lack of manners. Eventually I started to walk towards her and forced her to back up out of the room. Faervel hurried out of the room moments before I forced the annoying blonde woman out. I shouted at her and slammed the door on her.

"Ai!" (Ah!) I heard the blonde girl's voice through the door. It sounded like a scream; probably nearly caught her in the door. I knew that it was rude to slam a door in the face of the people who were trying to help me. But that woman had no right to treat me as if I was some child who did wrong. I sighed and leaned my back against the door. For a few moments there were angry whispers coming from, who I assumed, was the blonde woman from earlier. But suddenly I heard a deeper voice that I recognized as Legolas. I only heard bits of what was said sense most of it was muffled by the door. Although I didn't understand any of it, so I sort of ignored it. That was until I could feel the door shake slightly when someone knocked on it.

"Selene?" Legolas called through the door.

«Φυγε!» (Go away!) I yelled back, I didn't want to have to deal with him right now. I was also rather ashamed of my behavior now that it really occurred to me how rude I was to that woman. Perhaps she was upset that I altered the dress without permission... That would explain why she shoved fabric in my face. I sighed and rested my head on my knees; my parents would turn in their graves if they saw how I acted.

"Aníron peded, Selene." (Selene, I wish to speak.) Legolas called through the door again. All I understood was my name but his tone didn't sound angry. Perhaps a little bit tired and if I heard it correctly, maybe a bit worried as well. I sighed as I stood up from my seated position and pulled the door open. Once Legolas saw me his entire face turned a bright pink color that reached all the way up to his pointed ears. I couldn't help but notice that It was the same reaction I received from Faervel when she came into my room about twenty minutes earlier, although he didn't shriek and run from the room. Instead Legolas took off a cloak he wore and quickly handed it to Faevrel as she covered me while he looked away. It was in that moment it dawned on me why they were blushing and I felt heat rise in my cheeks as well.

Third Person - Legolas' POV

Legolas could tell when she yelled from the other side of the door that Selene was obviously upset. He frowned slightly, he had one angry human woman and an angry elleth as well. Then there was Faervel who seemed to be in too much shock to speak about what happened when she went to check on Selene earlier. Legolas tried again to get Selene to talk to them and this time it seemed to work when his elven hearing picked up on her moving and the door opening. He didn't know what to expect when she opened the door but it wasn't to see her unproperly dressed. Legolas felt his entire face heat up at the sight of Selene.

Her dress was a deep purple, well if it could still be called a dress. The sleeves on the dress were cut down to be just a few inches below her shoulders while the collar of her dress was cut down to show her collarbone. She had cut the entire middle section of her dress and now her stomach was completely exposed, while the skirt of the dress was shortened to her ankles but she created a slit that went up to her knee on her right leg. Legolas had never seen a woman so under dressed before and it showed in how red his face became. Legolas quickly took his cloak off and handed it to Faervel who quickly understood his intentions and covered Selene. Legolas averted his eyes from the human in front of him; his blush still a bright pinkish red color on his cheeks.

Once Selene was properly covered he looked back at her and saw her face heat up as well. He recognized as her eyes widened in realization that she was not appropiately dressed. Legolas saw Selene pull the cloak around her tighter and quietly repeated saying; "συγνώμη". Legolas watched as her head bowed and she looked embarrassed and a bit ashamed. Her body language was tense and she kept repeating the same thing; while mostly looking at Faervel and the blonde elleth, Larien. It finally settled in that Selene was apologizing to the two woman. However she didn't glance in Legolas' direction, and he figured it was out of embarrassment, because every time she did Selene would blush harder than before. At that moment a messenger came into the hall with word from Faramir.

Response to Reviews:

Seafarer: "I like this, it's very intriguing. I think that your use of Greek is very clever, and I am looking forward to the next chapter." - Thank you!

GreviousPridakArbiter: "Is she speaking Greek? This looks like Greek letters." - Yes, Selene is from a made up country who's main language is Greek but she can speak a little bit of Hindi as well.

Punkywarhammer: "Well done! Looking forward to reading more soon. (but I think it's Faramir.)" - You are correct, thank you for letting me know about the spelling error.
