ALIYA
~~~
I thought death had come upon me but I guess I was wrong. I woke to find myself in a softly lit room. The first thought I could form was that I was free. As my eyes adjusted more and I sat up, though, I was overcome with a sense of panic.
Where was I?
My eyes widened more as a tall, male elf came to my bedside. His blonde hair shimmered in the light and his blue eyes sparkled like ice. I shuddered and drew back as he came closer. He stopped.
"Who are you?" he asked softly, "Where do you come from?"
Tears formed in my eyes as I heard those words. I curled up into a tight ball and tried to keep myself from shaking uncontrollably.
The elf's eyes melted and he said, "I don't know what happened to you, but you are safe. I am Legolas, son of King Thranduil. You are in Mirkwood palace, where my father reigns. You are safe."
I tried desperately to believe what the Prince was saying, but it only made me shake more.
It seemed as if Legolas gave up, for he simply said, "I will leave you alone now. I'll be right outside the door, if you feel better and want to talk, I will come."
He left, leaving me alone to remember; Leaving me alone to cry

LEGOLAS
~~~
I left the room. The girl seemed too frightened to even speak. It brought tears to my eyes. I wanted to find out more about her. And I knew just the person to help me.
"Guard!" I called, "Please tell my sister, Kendre, to come here."
I waited in the brilliantly luminous hall for her. My sister was only a little younger than me, but much smarter. She was born to be a diplomat, I had long thought that she should succeed father on the throne instead of me.
I listened through the heavy wooden door, saddened by the crying I heard on the other side, until I heard the fast approaching footsteps of my sister.
"Kendre!" I said, relieved, "I need your help! She-"
But Kendre was way ahead of me, "Let me guess," she said, stopping in front of me looking with a tilted head, "She won't talk to you, so you want me to go in there, right?"
I nodded.
"I will, but not for you, Legolas, for her." Kendre said, "You can come in, but stay in a corner, and don't come near her, or talk!" And with that, my smart, sarcastic, platinum blonde, blue-eyed sister, opened the door.
I went immediately to the far corner of the room, and watched as Kendre approached the crying Elf.
"My name is Kendre……" she said in a warm tone, "Why are you crying?"
The young Elf stopped crying but did not answer her. Kendre went on moving ever closer until she stopped right in front of her:
"I am Legolas's sister. Legolas was not lying when he said you were safe. You are in Mirkwood palace," she said, repeating the things I had already said, "I don't know what frightened you so much, but nothing can harm you here. Will you talk to me? At least tell me your name….."
Kendre got no answer, but was ever persistent. She sat down on the bed looking curiously at the guest.
"I'm sorry about anything that has happened to you, but you must believe me, you can talk to me, at least tell me your name……." she repeated scooting a little closer and reaching out to touch her shoulder.
"My name is Aliya…." a small voice whispered, I knew without needing to be told, that she was a young elf.
Kendre shot me a quick look of joy and then said, "Aliya. It is such a pretty name. Aliya, why are you crying? Why can you not talk to me? Can't you trust me?"
Aliya sat up, so that her face was showing. Tears flooded my eyes as, even in the dim light, I saw bruises on her face, and cuts on her exposed wrist.
"I want to trust you…." Aliya said in a voice just above a whisper, "I don't know how to, though, I don't know if I can…"
Kendre gave her a warm smile and said, "You are so pretty…. Why do these tears stain you face? What happened that your body is beaten and bruised? Will you tell me?"
Aliya did not speak, instead, she only whimpered and cried, leaving us with no hint as to where she had come from or what had happen to her.
