She had broken the rules
She had disrupted the code
She had done everything wrong
And this
Was her punishment.
Blood trickled down her wrist crawling its way down her arm and falling onto the cold dirty cement that lay under her. Cold metal cuffs circled her wrists locking her. Her eyes studied the cuffs watching as the blood trickled drop by drop from underneath the metal enchainment. They challenged her as the men locked them to her never to release them. A small smile escaped her bruised and cut lips at the thought of them. They think they could contain and control her. The only reason she hadn't escaped was the fact that she simply had no where else to go. She would leave when the time came.
A loud clang filled her pointed ears as the entrance to the dungeon opened. Steps echoed through the hall getting louder as they approached her 'cage'. Her dark eyes searched the black room as a figure appeared in front of the bars. A rugged voice rang into the cell.
"On your feet elf." The voice was cold with a tone of anger in his voice he opened the cell door and grabbed the cuffed girl. Her feet chilled as they walked across the dusty cold concrete. The guard kept his grip tight on her arm and pushed her up the stairs. Light engulfed the elves eyes. Her lightened brown hair shimmered in the light. Her dark eyes looking up at the blue painted sky. It had been 10 months since she had seen the sky. she missed it's beauty and life. Her unusual tanned skin covered in dust, filth and blood absorbed the heat from the sun. She felt angry glares burn into her as insults and curses were sent her way. The angry citizens of Gondor lined up behind barrels and other objects obviously made as some sort of boundary to keep them away. She ignored them until she felt a stone bounce off her arm. She sent the assaulting a sharp glare as he backed away with a hint of fear in his eyes. She was lead up large steps into a room full of guards, knights, and a captain. She was pushed onto her knees in front of the captain's throne as the door shut behind her enclosing the little light in the room. Faramir stared down at her.
"It has been brought to my attention that the lady of light wishes your presence." He raised his eyebrows questioningly
"She said that we shall not do any harm to you," He paused "and return you to your kingdom immediately." The guards surrounding her started laughing. She looked up at him with a sly grin.
"You can tell my lady that I'm not finished with this city yet" The guards around her stopped laughing immediately as Faramir glared down at her. He stood up and grabbed her shoulder lifting her up. He still stood a head taller then her, his eyes searching her dark ones looking for some sign of emotion. He signaled his guards to leave the room. When the room was clear of every one except the two of them He turned his attention completely to her.
"I cannot ignore the word of Lady Galadriel," He ran his hands down the side of her face outlining her tanned skin. "It still amazes me how a pureblood elf. can come out with as dark of features as you" She eyed him carefully watching his every move. Her eyes quickly moved to the wooden cabinet lying above his chair. He followed her eyes and turned smiling at her. He moved his face inches away from her ear and whispered silently sending a small chill up her spine.
"I bet you would love to shoot one of your arrows right through me wouldn't you?" She eyed the cabinet where her bow and arrows lay. Her eyes never leaving the cabinet"
"I would not be so daft to use one of my arrows on a worthless man like you" She could feel his glare upon her. He turned and walked over to the cabinet grabbing the bow and quiver. He examined the sharp pointed arrows with a black feather lining running along the end of the crafted piece of wood. Her bow was black with silver and gold elfish writing covering it.
"Quite the unique weapon you carry here." He tossed the quiver and bow to her. She grabbed them and with a quick motion locked the bag and bow onto her large belt. "Something so beautiful should never be held in the hands of another, do you agree?" She half smiled at him.
"I never leave my bow with someone who would never have the skill to even kill me let alone use it" Chilling steel was pressed against her neck as her eyes never moved from his. His voice shaking with rage he put more pressure onto the blade. "So you do not think I would have enough 'skill' to kill you??" She smiled and raised an eyebrow threateningly.
"No" With a swift move she had grabbed a small blade from his own belt and had the tip pressed against his heart. He smiled at her and lowered his sword sheathing it. She gave the blade back to him. He placed it on his belt and stepped closer to her. Her emotion not changing or leaving his eyes she watched him closely. He looked down on her mischievously with a grin.
"Pity that you shall have to leave on such short notice. What, you've only been here-
"10 months going on 11" He smiled at her and received the same stone face. Her eyes never moving. He stepped closer to her and leaned down so he was inches away from her lips. A rough whisper escaped his lips.
"Then I shall bid you a most enjoyable farewell" As he lent in to kiss her he felt a quick pain in his stomach. He looked down to see her holding a small dagger against his stomach. He laughed silently. She glared at him.
"I would watch my tongue if I was in your position" He raised a curious eyebrow at her.
"But you are not in my position are you my lady elf?" He smiled and placed a strong grip on her arm. He felt a sudden jolt of pain in his stomach. Flinching lightly he felt her cold stare upon him.
"Try it Foromir, and Gondor shall lose its captain very suddenly"
