Chapter 14 ::A Necklace Found::

The guards Legolas sent out to look for Tara were now covering the borders of Rivendell.

"Elodom? Is that a necklace you have in your hand?" Lockson asked.

"Yes it is…It's hers. It's got the Gondor symbol on it." Elodom mumbled.

The guards sent Lockson back to Mirkwood to give Legolas the necklace and update him on the details.

(Later at the Palace)

Legolas was clutching the necklace. Why her? Why not someone else. Why'd we meet? It's not funny Eru. It's not fair.

(Tara's Diary entry.) *A/N: She's got her diary with her…And I've decided that they unbound her hands. They figured she had grown to weak to put up a fight.*

Dear Diary,

The smell is no longer the worst thing they could do to you. It's starving you. And even looking at you, sends chills down your spine. And to make it worse…I am without any object to protect myself. It's useless. I'll die here. I knew Legolas didn't love me…But to not even send help? Or to even look for me? I'm so sad. I feel like I'm fading. They finally unbound my hands…And in the dark speech said that I was probably to weak to fight. That's an understatement of the year. I can hardly walk, or blink. Let alone raise my arms. I'm surprised I can even write to you.

The orc's are smarter than I thought…They haven't lit a fire because they think we're being followed…Fat chance. Bugger. This is horrible. I'm stuck in a tattered dress…There is a tear that reaches my thigh…For all the orcs and other creatures of this blasted forest to see. And my sleeves have been torn off…I'm battered and bruised and HUNGRY! Eru please help me.

Tara.

(Legolas)

Legolas sent word to Gondor to Arwen and Aragorn that they're beloved daughter had disappeared. Of course this led to them coming to Mirkwood.

Aragorn glared at Legolas, "You! How could you?! How could you let her leave?" Aragorn looked to his wife who was sitting in a corner crying.

"I didn't mean for anything to happen to her Aragorn." Legolas pleaded.

"That's not good enough! She could be dead! I should kill you right now!! But I won't. Because there is the smallest chance that she's alive…But if they ever find her body…YOU'RE A DEAD ELF. Understood?!"

Legolas nodded. "Yes, Sir…I mean…Aragorn…I mean…Er…Estel?" Legolas was thoroughly freaked out by Aragorns change of behavior. Usually Aragorn was calm, but when it came to his daughter he could be very violent.

Legolas looked down at the locket that once belonged to Tara, and saw that some symbols had lit up.

Princess of roses, love of spring, daughter of gondor, beloved

Legolas asked Aragorn, "what do these mean?"

Aragorn walked over, "They are the meaning of Taraneth's name. When they light up…They mean that she's fading quickly." He said worriedly, "We had that made so we could insure that if anything ever happened to her, we could always make sure she was happy…Or see if she was in danger."

Legolas looked up.

Aragorn smiled, "Princess of Roses, Love of Spring."

Legolas smiled and nodded, "It fits her."

"Yes, and I'm worried she might not be able to see Spring again." Aragorn murmured.
