Trouble

Elladan walked over to me as soon as Relic left,

"I saw you with Relic, did you enjoy his company?"

"As a matter of fact I did and he was not out of my reach either"

"Zara, please I really like you, please do not let what Arwen say get in between us"

"But it is true and you know it"

"I am not out of your reach, I am well with in it! Please"

"Well."

"May I have this dance?" He asked offering his hand. Slowly I stood up and took it. I danced with him all night long, well until Relic came anyway. I was really enjoying myself until Relic came over. He grabbed my arm and spun me around,

"What do you think you are doing? Elladan is the one that got you all upset! I had to listen to you whine about him, and now you are back with him!"

"Do not speak or treat a lady like that!" Elladan said sticking up for me. Relic laughed,

"Why not?" He said grabbing my face and placing his lips onto mine. I tried to break free but his grip was too strong. Elladan pulled Relic off easily and took a swing at him. He got his eye. The music died down and everybody was watching,

"Elladan!" Arwen said walking over and glaring at me,

"Look at what that girl has done to you! She has done this with her evil magic" I rolled my eyes but left anyway, obviously I was not wanted. I was just about at my room when I was pushed against the wall and there was Relic. He hit me, hard, across my cheekbone.

"You know, you don't deserve a man's love because you just treat all of us as if we have no heart" He grabbed me by my hair and smacked my head against the stone wall. I cried out,

"No, please not again" I whimpered. Relic suddenly let go of my hair and I slumped onto the ground, blood passing in front of my eyes. I think I saw Elladan fighting Relic before passing out.

I awoke with Elladan in a bed next to me and my head was fine. I looked at Elladan to see him in worse condition than me.

"He's going to be ok, don't worry" I turned to see Elrohir.

"It's all my fault. Why don't you hate me like your sister?"

"Because it was not your fault. Do not worry, Elladan didn't seem to mind fighting for you" I felt the heat rising in my cheeks and turned away to hide it,

"I seem to be causing trouble here," I said, sighing.

"Is there anywhere that I can go to?" I asked. Elrohir shook his head,

"Not that I can think of. Maybe Mirkwood, but you do not want to leave just because of my sister"

"I cause trouble here! Look at Elladan! It's all my fault and don't try to deny it!"

"I won't but I have to say that you are too hard on yourself"

"Well you get like that when everything that goes wrong is blamed on you"

"Well this is not your fault. Please stay" I finally nodded tiredly. I looked at him, smiled and fell into a peaceful sleep knowing that I finally belonged somewhere.
