"Prince Legolas!" a voice cried. An elf wearing the clothes of the guards of the house of Thranduil dropped lightly to the ground in front of Celegar. Celegar, seeing the elf, trotted away so that Alfirin and Legolas were left facing the guard. "Your highness, are you alright?" asked the elf.


"Yes, Berialian, I am alright," said Legolas. "What is the meaning of this? I thought that I made it clear to go alone."


"But prince Legolas, you have been gone for so long!" cried Berialian, "The sun has risen twice already since you left and this..this witch......she is dangerous. We have learned that she is one of the Cam'Wrethrin. That is how she escaped, by using her evil......she is dangerous." Legolas's mouth opened to speak but nothing came out.


Two guards grabbed Alfirin and threw a cloak around her. "Your highness!" cried Alfirin, reaching her hand out to him. "Tell them!" But Legolas said nothing. He looked down at the ground, his fair face troubled. "Please!" she cried, with tears in her eyes. Legolas turned to her and gave her an apologetic look. He then jumped on Celegar and rode off. The guards covered Alfirin so that her head could not be seen and took her back to the dungeons.


Later that night:

Legolas sat next to his father in the feast that celebrated the capture of the last Cam-Wrethrin. All night people rushed up to him to congratulate and praise him on the capture and Legolas would smile and nod his head in gratitude. Inside he felt horrible and empty. With a heavy heart, he left the feast and went into his room to rest.

Meanwhile

Alfirin wriggled out of the cloak. She gulped the cold air which felt nice compared to the stuffiness of the cloak. The small window in the door was the only source of light in the dark room. It was small and Alfirin felt as if the walls were closing in on her. She crawled next to the door and shuddered as she touched the icy stone wall. She knew there was a multitude of guards outside. They were now aware of her powers and she could smell their fear, their hate, and their anger. They muttered softly to each other about the feast and about news of the outside world.

She smiled as she looked down at the dagger that Legolas had given to her when Celegar was in front of them. "Use it as you will," he had whispered to her. How am I to escape? wondered Alfirin. She moved to where she lay before. She grabbed the dagger and started to pick at the stone in the wall with it. She then took it out and started to dig with it. She spread the dirt around the small area around her and tried to make the hole look as deep as possible. She put some of the blanket inside, letting most of it show on the outside, and scampered back to the area beside the door. Then she heard one of the guards approach the door. She lay herself flat against the wall.

The soldier looked inside the small window and saw a sight that made his blood run cold. "Thenin!" he screamed, "Thenin! There is a hole in the wall! She has escaped! The last Cam'Wrethrin!" She heard the sound of keys and felt the presence of many guards. She stood up slowly, waiting for the right moment. They pushed open the door and ran inside. At that very moment, Alfirin jumped up on the top of the door, her head hit the ceiling, and jumped and landed on a guard.

The guards cried out in surprise, trying not to look at her, fear in their hearts, and trying to grab her. But Alfirin used her dagger and stabbed at the hands that held her, ignoring the cries of pain, she ran as swiftly as her feet would take her with the guards still close behind her. She could not get to the horses this time so she had no choice but to run. She headed for the forest and jumped to a low branch, swinging herself up. The guards followed her into the trees as she jumped from branch to branch. Suddenly something whirred by her ear. They were shooting arrows at her!

"Do not let her escape!" they cried. Alfirin went as quickly as she could. For the trees also seemed against her. Their branches often moved out the way of her feet and she had to use her hand to quickly regain herself. Then she heard a sound that made her heart skip a beat. The rush of the river lightened her heart and made her hurry. She moved quicker than ever, enticed by the sound of the river. They were falling behind when suddenly she fell from the tree, hit by an arrow in her leg. She pulled it out and ran through the forest, still pursued. The river was drawing closer. Her leg throbbed with pain and she could feel the blood streaming down, but she cheered herself by reminding herself of the feel of the river. She reached the bank of the river and dived deep. They could not get her now. Below the surface, she heard the muffled voices of the guards, angry and afraid. She swam quickly down the river and when the guards could no longer be heard or seen she pulled herself out.

She knew she was not out of danger yet. They would be looking for her for a long time. She climbed up a tree and let the tree cover her with its leaves. It was like it knew that she was in trouble. She whispered to it, thanking it and then rested for an hour.

At the house of thranduil

The house was in an uproar, but no one dared disturb the prince. Legolas suddenly awoke and gasped in surprise at what he saw.
