Chapter 2
Legolas turned searching the trees for a sign of the animal. Having no luck, he layed the girl beneath a tree and covered her with his cloak thus sheilding her from prying eyes. With Ciara safley camoflauged he set out in search of the roch( horse).
Ciara woke to a sound of silence. Rising she looked around hoping to see the blonde elf. A sound in the woods to her right made her turn to inspect the dissturbance. She gasped as the figure walked from the trees.
Returning to the spot a short while later minus horse, Legolas let out a disgruntled gasp at the spot where Ciara had been. As the fear of having lost her settled upon him Legolas took off at a pace beffitting an elf.
He reached Rivendell in good time and rushed through the doors into the main hall. A sound quite like that of a shriek echoed off the walls. Bonding up the stairs two at a time he reached the door at the far end of the passage and threw it open. There before him with her back turned stood the very person he had thought he had lost. With a sigh of relief he moved forward placing a hand on the shaking shoulders of the girl. " Are you alright?" At the sound of his voice she spun around causing him to jump back. " Does it look like I am alright?" she said dangerously. Instead of the tears there was a slow red fire spreading across her cheeks.
" Whats wrong?" he asked cautiously. " You left me! I trusted you and woke to find you gone!" she yelled. " I was so worried! I thought the fate of my mother had befallen you as well!" " Then in my search for you I am picked up by someone else.. with weapons.. and discarded here. " there were now tears on her cheeks causing His heart to turn. " Where is here? Where am I?" she asked softly.
" This is Rivendell Ciara. " came a voice from the doorway. Both girl and elf turned shocked. Elrond strode in to the room confident and lordly. " You are safe my child."
" You know me?" she asked.
" Aye. I do. Your mother has been a friend of the elves for some time. Your father was one of my couriers a long time ago. Now... why don't you follow me and we will see what there is to be done about this situation." At this Elrond left the room. With no other choice she followed, Legolas not far behind.
