Chapter 10 The Rode to Recovery

Elladan ran out of the room heading straight for his father study chamber, knowing that is exactly where he would be. He reached the room and flung the door open, not even thinking about knocking.

"Elladan what is wrong my son?" Elrond asked worried, knowing his sons would never barge in on him unless something was wrong.

"Ada you are needed in Faith's room right away!" Elladan explained leaning on the desk trying to catch his breath. Elrond did not wait for his eldest son to explain any further as he ran toward the young elflings room, preparing for the worst.

As he entered the room amazed relief washed over him as he saw Faith lying there with her eyes open.

"You gave us quit a scare young one." Elrond said as he moved closer, placing his hand over his heart in relief.

"I'm sorry Lord Elrond, but you all should know by now I don't give up that easily!" she answered trying to sound as if nothing was ailing hear, but her voice betrayed her.

"Do not apologize, young Faith you could do nothing to prevent it, and indeed you have proved to us how strong you truly are!" the elven lord said with a smile.

"I don't even remember what happened?" Faith confessed in a whisper, but they all heard it.

"That is normal; you need not be worried about that just focus on getting better. Now everyone out so that Faith can get some sleep." Elrond ordered as everyone began to file out of the room. But Legolas stopped Lord Elrond short.

"Lord Elrond shouldn't someone stay behind here with Faith, just incase something happens?"

"That is very wise Legolas, and I will send in one of the other healers to sit with her." Legolas began to protest, but Elrond cut in.

"You need your rest also Legolas, you will be no help to Faith if you pass out." The young prince nodded, and even though he didn't want to admit it he knew Elrond was right. Finally Elrond got Legolas to leave the room and sent for a healer to sit with Faith. He looked back at her one last time before closing the door, she truly was a miracle.

As time went by Faith just got better, it seemed that she was finally defeating the poison that had rudely invaded her body. After a month in bed she was finally able to walk around, just as long someone was with her at all times.

Legolas led Faith into the gardens, and helped her sit on the grass. He sat down next to her, and they sat there in silence until Faith finally broke it.

"Legolas, I have to say this is the happiest I have ever been in my life."

"Faith, you where shot by a poisonous arrow and are as of now going though a very painful recovery. How can this be the happiest you have ever been?" He asked smiling down at the young elfling next to him.

"I don't mean it that way; I mean just being here with you, Estel, Arwen, Elrond, even the twins." Legolas giggled at her jest about the twins, the two were very noble warriors and could be very serious when they needed to, but they were also pranksters always playing jokes on their friends. Though they had lightened their 'attacks' ever since their mother had gone over sea.

"But do you not miss your home, your family?" he asked curious he had never heard her speak of them ever.

"Home? Family? I don't have that luxury." she slipped not thinking of what she was saying.

"Everyone has a family and a home Faith."

"I use to Legolas, believe me I did." She told him staring up at the sky remembering the wonderful days when her mother was still alive.

"But those days disappeared in but a spilt second. I'll tell ya' Legolas you never know what you have until you lose it."

"I understand Faith!" Legolas replied remembering when his own mother had gone over seas.

"Anyway when I get better, I was wondering if you could help me with something?" she asked a smile playing across her lips.

"Of course!"

"My leg shouldn't be as bad as it is; I was hoping you would help me learn how to walk with out the crutch again!" Legolas smiled down at Faith nodding his head.

"I will be honored to help you Faith!" The young elfling smiled up excited at just the thought of be able to take more then two steps without her crutch. Of course she knew it was very unlikely that she would never have to use it again, she just wanted to walk at least a few more steps then she could now.

"Thanks Legolas!" she said as she wrapped her arms around the older elf, wincing as she did. Legolas just smiled at the cheer of his young friend.

Another month went by and Faith was finally backed to normal, she was also getting better at walking on her own. She and Legolas had decided to keep it a secret and surprise everyone when they had accomplished up to a certain goal. Faith walked into the dinner hall to find everyone there except a certain ranger.

"Where's Estel?" she asked while sitting down next to Elrohir.

"He has left on privet duty this morning; he did not want to wake you so he asked us to tell you he said goodbye." Arwen explained

"Did he even say what he had to do?"

"No, he is a ranger Faith he does not explain what is his doing." Said Elladan with a smirk knowing his brother would probably get himself into trouble yet again. Faith stopped for a second remembering something she couldn't depict.

"Did he say anything about going to Bree?" she asked she knew it had something to do with the book Lord of the Ring, though most of what she knew about it had faded from her mind since she had been here.

"Yes he did, Faith how do you know this?" asked Legolas giving her a curious eye.

"I don't I know, I just do." She replied putting her head in her hands trying to will away the headache that was inflicting its pain on her innocent mind. Elrohir began to rub her back, as if he knew this was all making her ill.

"It is alright Faith; you don't have to remember we understand."

"Thanks Elrohir; I'm going to go find Lord Elrond, I think he getting mad because I've been skipping our meetings." Faith laughed slightly as she got up from her seat but before she left Elladan had to ask.

"Faith what are those meetings about?" Faith looked back at the eldest twin not knowing what to say.

"Please don't make me tell you Elladan, it's bad enough that Elrond knows." She said with pleading eyes, they held concern in their eyes and Elladan just nodded as Faith left the room.

A/N- sorry I still have writers block but I thought I should give you guys something. Now I need Faith to get to Lorien so she will go with the Fellowship but I have a poll who wants her to go further then Lorien? Also I have great news that probably none of you care about but I'm gonna tell anyway. I finally got into my shop and I got into my first choice commercial design! There same great useless information for you all! LOL
