________________________________________________________________________

As silently as she could she crept behind him. Although she made no sound his elvish ears still warned him she was there. Stopping on his horse, the wooded area still going on for miles each way he waited. She's been fallowing him for a couple of miles now perhaps it was time to let her make her presence known. He heard the sound of an arrow being mounted before he even turned.

"I wouldn't try that if I were you"

He said holding his own arrow straight at the young girls' heart. At this close range there was no way he'd miss.

He looked her over, long flowing red hair that reached almost her waist, thin, perhaps too thin, she looked as though she hadn't eaten in days. Her eyes were very unusual they shown different colors, one a honey brown, and the other a pale light blue.

Her hair was messed and matted, her face though beautiful was hidden beneath layers of dirt and muck. She looked at him with a fiery stare that seemed unbreakable.

Glancing at the rest of her he noticed her clothing was torn and also covered in muck. She wore no shoes, and there appeared to be a lot of cuts, bruises and some that look like punctures marks all over her body.

"Milady, would you be as kind as to put down your bow?"

He asked her, hoping she would listen. The thing was she did not seem to understand him. He wondered how long she'd been lost in these forests.

She didn't move, just stared at him. His long blonde hair was tied in the usual fashion for elves; His eyes were a deep hazel color. The words he spoke seemed familiar. But it had been so long since she spoke anything at all. She had a feeling he could kill her if he wanted too, the forest seemed to cry out for her to understand.

"My name is Legolas Greenleaf, prince of Mirkwood. May I ask your name Milady?"

He thought for a moment, and then tried a different approach.

"~Lasto narrare nin lin nomen! Placere dare dad lin arcus! ~" ~Listen, tell me your name! Please put down your bow~

She looked at him. The strangest thing was, she understood that. Now did she remember how do respond?

"~Si le dare dad lin~" ~If you put down yours~

A look of shock took over his face, and he smiled, she could talk, Elvish of all things. Then remember what she said Legolas slowly lowered his bow to the ground. He waited for her to do the same but she just stared at him. Looking from the him to the ground and then back to him, slowly she herself lowered her bow to the ground.

A sudden noise from the forest startled her and she began to fall, without thinking Legolas instinctively rushed to catch her. Once his hands had a hold of her, her first instinct was to run, to fight her way from this man, but as she lay there wrapped in his arms something happened that hadn't happened in a long time, she started to cry.

Legolas held her tightly, trying his best to comfort this strange girl. Thinking perhaps he should know her name he asked once again,

"~Lin nomen domina?~" ~Your name lady?~

Her sobs softened and then stopped she looked up at him; she had a strange feeling she could trust this man, that he could help her. Thinking hard, she remembered a name, weather it was her own she did not remember, but a name it was.

"Omoria..."

She said quietly.

"~Omoria...han formosus~." ~Omoria...It's beautiful~

She glanced at him, beautiful? He thought her name was beautiful? How strange. What did all of this mean? She was so confused.

"Legolas...help...me,"
