Disclaimer: I do not own Legolas ::sniff sniff::: I do own Arianna, the
stupid guys who captured them, and the plot.
A/N: Thanks a ton to all who've reviewed. Some of you said that Arianna
was a Mary-Sue. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a Mary-Sue a Littke-
Miss-Perfect? Arianna is definantly NOT perfect. Still, thanks for your
reviews and if you still think she's a Mary-Sue let me know why in a review
so I can avoid that, because she wasn't intended to be a Mary-Sue. Thanks!

Chapter 2: Old Ties Revived
Before Arianna coud recover from the collision, the man grabbed her hair and yanked her to her feet. "Why hello there!" the greasy man said evilly.
Arianna just glared at him, heranger beyond words. How could she have been so stupid as to run headlong into this creep? You were too busy running from the other creeps! a litte voice in the back of her head reminded her.
"What is it with you Elves?! Are you too stupid to talk?!" the man yelled and yanked her hair angrily. This was too much for Arianna to stand for. "You let go of me right now, you slime sucking scumface! Elves are more intellegent than you disgusting humans!" The man chuckled. "So you do talk! Good! Now, you're going to get Prince Charming over here to tell us what we want to know...or...you die." he said simply. Arianna rolled her eyes. "It probably wouldn't make a difference if you were dead, though, would it?"snarled the man. Arianna couldn't think of a comeback. The man had hit her blind spot. It's true, she thought miserably, No one would miss me.
The man dragged Arianna to a place within the trees where they could see Legolas staring blankly ahead. "Now get him to talk!" the man growled. " I thought all you wanted was a ransom! He doesn't exactly need to talk fr you to get that, now does he?" Arianna snaped, regaining her senses. "The ransom s just a cover-up to get Thranduil away from the kingdom so we can-" One of the stupider men that had follwed Arianna into the woods was suddenly cut short when the leader clocked him one in the head. "You moron! Don't tell her our plan!" he hissed. Then he pulled Arianna's head back and bent close to her ear. "Now you listen, if I hear that you told any of this to Princey, I'll-" he began. " How're you going to find out if he doesn't talk, idiot?" she asked angrily. The man couldn't think of an answer to the question so he just bound Arianna's hands and feet and brought her over to sit next to Legolas. "Remember, your life depends on his chit chat." the man said and then strode away. After makingsure that the two Elves were securly tied, the men went to sleep, a single guard sitting up to watch the captives. Arianna just sat and fumed silently. Oooo! The NERVE of those men! Why would they even want to get Thranduil away from his kingdom? And if they think I'm going to help by talking to Blondie here, then they've got anither thing coming! Her thougts were interrupted by a bottle of ale falling from the guard's hand and his body crashing to the ground. He was in a drunken slumber. Arianna laughed softly at this. Not a cruel laugh, just a humorous one. Some guard! Legolas looked at her questioningly. Arianna quit laughing and just stared at him angrily, remembering why she was upset with him in the first place. Legolas noticed Arianna's green eyes harden in anger. He much preferred when they were filled with mirth as they had been before. He sighed and then spoke quietly for the first time since he'd been kidnapped. " What, may I ask, did I do to make you hate me, ma'am?" he asked. Arianna just pursed her lips and shook her head disbelieveingly. "How can you not know?" she asked angrily. Legolas shrugged and shook his head, completely clueless. " What's my name?" Arianna snaped. "I can't place it! You look so familiar!" Legolas exclaimed, " This morning when you came up to me, I tried to get your name, but you ran!" Arianna's face was now a display of hurt and anger. " That's because you should remember the name of your best friend! Even if is has been years since we've seen each other!" Arianna said harshly. Legolas's eyes widened and his mouth dropped. " Arianna?" he said incredulously. "Yes." "Oh, my! I'm SO sorry! You just look so...so dfferent! And when your father took you away I thought I'd never see you again, so I tried to forget you!" Legolas said in a rush. " Why would you want to forget me?" Arianna asked. "Because it hurt to much to remember." Legolas relplied softly, " Can you ever forgive me?" Arianna considered and then gave Legolas a small smile. " Yes." Legolas sighed in relief. " You've changed, Arianna. You always seem angry, now. That's part of the reason I didn't realize you were you." " Time changes everyone." Arianna replied simply, not wanting to get onto the subject of what had happened to change her. There was a stir from the drunken guard and the two Elves fell silent. It was too risky to say anymore and let it be known that they knew each other. Arianna stared into the dying flames of the campfire and smiled. With her and Legolas reunited, the men were in for a harder time than they're bargained for!
