Thanks for the nice reviews!! Please review again!
Somewhere To Go To
Erin woke up and glanced around. It took her a minute to realize where she was and then smiled. She was finally in a place where she was wanted and loved at the same time. And she had a guy who would fight to the death to save her. He, Legolas, was absolutely amazing. She thought he was the best part of all this. She was thankful to finally have a real family though.
She got up and stretched out. Behra came in with two maidens trailing behind her. Erin looked at her and Behra pulled out a dress, it was plain, made of blue silk. She made Erin sit down, and she pulled her hair back.
"Your sister actually arrived this morning. But she and the rest of the fellowship were exhausted. They are still sleeping. But Arwen and Aragorn made sure to come and see you. You were sleeping, but Aragorn came in anyways. He and Arwen seemed like such concerned older siblings. Aragorn loves you already, he's already got the older brother look to him." Behra rambled on.
"Wow." Was all Erin could manage to say.
"Come on. Breakfast is being served soon in the Gardens." Behra instructed.
Erin walked down the path and into the gardens. To her surprise, everyone was up and there. A seat to the left of Elrond was saved for her. Arwen sat to his right. Legolas was next to Erin's seat.
"Morning sister." Arwen smiled.
"Morning to you too..." Erin smiled back.
She sat and immediately the food was passed out. They all began discussing the ball and other things that had to deal with Erin. She just sat back and watched.
"Tell me Erin. Do you miss your old world?" Gimli piped up.
"No!" Erin said immediately.
"Why?" Sam asked.
"I don't want to talk about it." Erin replied.
"Please tell us!" Merry and Pippin shouted from the end of the table.
"I don't want to talk about it." Erin repeated.
"Awww...come on." Gimli pushed.
Erin got up and walked away from the table. Legolas shot a glance of fury towards the end of the table.
"Why couldn't you just leave it be?" He hissed.
Everyone was taken back by his tone. Legolas jumped up and followed Erin out of the Gardens. He caught up to her. He touched her arm lightly.
"Erin?" He whispered.
"Yes?" Her voice cracked.
"Don't pay any attention to them my lady." He said softly, moving a piece of her hair from her cheek.
"Ok." Was her soft reply, "I just want somewhere to go to, to be alone."
"Come then. There is a place just an hour from here. We shall ride horseback there." Legolas offered.
"Really?" Erin looked up at him.
He noticed she still had child-like features. It was making him crazier for her.
"Yes." He smiled.
"Ok, do I need anything?" She asked.
"Yes. Bring some extra clothes, you'll need them. Other than that, I shall supply us with anything else." Legolas answered.
Erin nodded, and retreated to her room. Elrond came up behind Legolas. The young Prince turned and smiled.
"Hello Lord Elrond." He said weakly.
"You are taking Erin somewhere?" The older elf said knowingly.
"Yes. I am sorry if you had plans. She just looked like she was under stress. It is her first full day here and everything." Legolas stammered and excuse.
"It is fine with me. Though Arwen will be disapointed, she wanted to introduce Princess Erin to the Ladies in Waiting. But I have a feeling Erin would rather be out there with you." Elrond smiled.
"Of course." Legolas bowed his head.
"Have fun, and be back in time for the ball." Elrond ordered.
"Yes Lord Elrond." Legolas bowed once more and turned for the stables.
Legolas walked into the stables, and went to his white stallion. He was a graceful creature, and would only let Legolas ride him. The horse had been raised by Legolas himself.
"Easy Grimsly, a pretty lady is going to ride you today." Legolas laid his hand on the horse snout.
The horse made a noise and seemed to nod. Legolas laughed and kissed the snout of the horse.
"Now if I'd have seen that back in New York, I think I would have been scared..." Erin sounded from the doors.
Legolas turned in surprise. He saw Erin standing there, looking beautiful. She wore a green tunic, and had her hair in a tight bun.
"New York??" Legolas seemed puzzled, "Why would you have been scared in this place called New York??"
"New York is where I lived before I was brought back here, to my real home. And guys in New York do not kiss and talk to horses. That's why I would hae been scared." Erin smiled.
"These men in New York sound...well, rude." Legolas decided.
"Oh they are. Because unlike here, they seem to think they can disrespect anyone the please." Erin nodded.
"Even their women?" Legolas began to put a blanket and saddle on the back of Grimsly.
"Yes. Even the women. A man in New York only has one woman, well, they really don't own them. It's kind of like a relationship thing. But sometimes a man will go behind the woman's back with another woman." Erin explained.
"Men are so different there." Legolas concluded.
"Very." Erin grinned.
"You always do that." Legolas mentioned.
"What?" It was Erin's turn to be puzzled.
"Grin. It makes you look so michievious, yet, so beautiful and exhilarating. You make me feel fresh and happy whenever you do it." Legolas replied.
"Oh.." Erin blushed.
"Come on. We have somewhere to go." Legolas turned to the horse, "This is Grimsly, I trained him when he was a colt. He only lets me ride him."
"Why do you think he will let me on him?" Erin was shocked.
"Because he feels the vibe you send off. And he can sense my feelings for you." Legolas blushed now.
"Ok." This seemed to satisfy the new Princess.
Legolas held out his hand. Erin took it gratefully and Legolas pulled her closer. He stood behind her, and lifted her by the waist up to the tall stallion. She got on and the horse seemed to love her almost immediately. Legolas hopped on the back and they rode off towards the lake.
Erin rested herself against Legolas and closed her eyes. She hummed alittle song by her fave band back in New York, *Linkin Park*. She was humming *In the end*. Legolas liked the sound of this song and found it relaxing. Soon they arrived at the lake. Legolas got off the horse and laid out the blanket. He set a basket down, then helped Erin off the horse.
"What are we doing?" Erin asked.
"I thought we'd enjoy a day at the lake. Go swimming, have a picnic." Legolas looked worried, "Do you want to go back to the palace?"
"Of course not! I'd love to spend the day with you!!" Erin gasped.
Legolas grinned, "I knew you would my lady. Now, I have a surprise for you."
"Really?" Erin smiled evily.
"Yes. Close your eyes." Legolas ordered her.
Erin did. Legolas took her hand and led her to the dock. He took her to the end.
"What are we doing Legolas?" Erin kept her eyes closed.
"Do you know how to swim?" Legolas laughed.
"Yes-" She never finished, Legolas threw her into the lake.
She came up giggling, "Legolas Greenleaf! You are playing with fire!"
"I guess I just put that fire out!" Legolas called back.
Erin grinned, but then frowned. In less then a second she was pulled under the water. Legolas panicked and jumped in.
"Erin!!" He screamed.
He dove beneath the steady current and searched below the water. His keen elf sight allowed him to see under the water.
Erin quietly snuck to shore and took a seat on the dock. Legolas came up gasping and looked again under the water.
"Oh Erin! Princess!! Where are you?!" Legolas screamed, becoming sick to his stomach.
He turned at the sound of giggling. He saw Erin on the dock and laughed in relief. She was smiling ear to ear.
"No one can put out this fire." She said sarcastically, "Not even a drenched Prince."
"But, a drenched Prince can catch his drenched Princess." Legolas laughed.
He began to wade out of the water. Erin shrieked and took off running.
"Erin!" Legolas chased after her.
They ran for a few hundred yards. Erin was ahead, but Legolas was gaining on her. Erin ran into an open field, with the grass as tall as her waist. She dove off the path and hid quietly. Legolas entered the field.
"I will find you young Princess." He called.
Erin remained silent and watched her Prince. He disappeared from sight. Erin turned and let out a sqeaul as Legolas leapt atop her.
"I told you I would find you." He whispered in her ear.
"Aye, you did my Legolas, but what of a prize for catching me?" Erin whispered in return.
"A kiss." Legolas smiled.
Erin nodded and Legolas leaned down, capturing her lips with his own. Erin moaned against his lips and wrapped her arms around his neck. They laid there, and kissed for a very long time. Erin felt as if her lips were bruising from the passionate kisses they were exchanging.
Legolas pulled away and smiled softly, "You have captured my heart young Erin."
"And you have caught mine in the same way." Erin mumbled.
Legolas leaned down and kissed her again. Afterwards, they returned to their left behind picnic. Erin sat down and Legolas pulled some elvin food out. They ate in silence, just staring at eachother. The sun would be setting soon, and Legolas needed to have Erin back in time for the ball.
"We must return to the palace for the ball. May I escort you to the ball?" Legolas informed her.
"Yes." Erin's eyes twinkled like stars.
Erin opened the door to her bedroom and saw a handsome Legolas outside. He wore a silk, white tunic. Erin's gown was a pale blue colour, made of elvin silk that glittered. Her hair was up in a bun, with sparkles reflecting off of it.
"You look absolutely amazing my lady." Legolas stammed when he choose to speak.
"As do you Prince Legolas." Erin replied.
"Just call me Legolas." He asked politely.
"Then, I am but Erin to you." She asked in the same tone.
Legolas couldn't help himself. He leaned over and kissed her tenderly.
"I would not have made it down to the Great Hall where the ball is if I hadn't done that." Legolas blushed.
"Nor I, if you hadn't." Erin made him feel better.
Together they made their way down to the Great Hall. There was a bigger table, and the two seats to the left of Elrond were empty. People glanced at them and noticed the small crown atop Erin's head.
Erin seemed to see that Legolas wore a crown of a different style. Then remembered he was a Prince of Mirkwood, not Rivendell.
Elrond stood, and tapped his finger on his wine glass. The table of more than a hundred elves stopped talking. The similiar three tables around it all silenced too. Erin soon realized all of Rivendell and the two smaller villiages around it were there.
"I would like to make a speech. As most of you elder elves remember, I had a second daughter. Princess Erinia, and I had to send her away when an evil known as Sarumon emerged once more. Well, she is back. I would like to introduce the lost princess. Princess Erin. Daughter of the Elves." He announced.
Legolas nudged her and she stood. Arwen stood also. Aragorn soon stood, followed by Legolas, then everyone in the Great Hall. The cheer was deafening and Erin immediately felt at home.
Later that evening, as the dancing took place, Arwen approached Erin and Legolas with her Ladies in Waiting.
"Erin, I would like you to meet Ariannia, Florian, Cassidya, and Ilize." Arwen introduced the four ladies behind her.
"Hello." Erin said softly.
The four *blonde* elves giggled.
"Come now Arwen, we have to dance." Florian giggled loudly.
"Would you like to dance Prince Legolas??" Cassidya stepped up to the handsome elvin Prince.
"I am spoken for my lady." Legolas denied.
"By whom? Have I met this feonce?" Cassidya looked around cluelessly.
"No. I am not engaged, but am claimed by Princess Erin." Legolas held back a chuckle.
"Oh." Cassidya's gaze burned bullets into Erin.
She turned on her heel and stomped away.
"The elve maidens will truly hate me if they know about us Legolas." Erin grew nervous.
"They will grow to understand." Legolas took her hand and placed a kiss on her nose.
Erin smiled warmly. Legolas led her onto the floor as a slow song started. The music was beautiful, with no lyrics. They swayed on the floor. Erin wrapped her arms around his neck, and laid her head on his chest. Legolas held her around the waist and nuzzled his face into her neck.
Suddenly there was a loud BOOM and something crashed. Screams were heard through the hall. Legolas lifted his head and pulled Erin close as people panicked. The dust settled and Legolas' heart stopped.
An old elf stepped in, followed by ten other elves. Elrond seemed to have a look of fury when his eyes focused on the criminal. The older elf had grayish hair and piercing blue eyes. He scanned the crowd, and those eyes landed on Erin.
Legolas pulled Erin even closer, knowing who the man was.
"So, dear Elrond. I hear that your youngest daughter, Erinia, has returned." The elf said darkly,
"Yes." Elrond replied coldly, "Mendacole, she has."
"Then you know why I am here dear brother." Mendacole hissed.
*****
OH NO! Who is Mendacole? Why does he want Erin? Why did he call Elrond 'brother'?? FIND OUT IN CHAPTER FOUR! COMING SOON! please review :)

"Do you know how to swim?" Legolas laughed.
"Yes-" She never finished, Legolas threw her into the lake.
