I'm so glad that I got reviews! Thanks a ton! :-D I was asked about
the character Rinhen. She is an elf. When she was three, her family was
killed when Orcs attacked her village; she was the only survivor of her
family. She was crushed, and taught herself archery, her father had been
teaching her before he was killed. She turned pro on the bow and arrow by
five and went out and killed an entire raid of Orcs single-handed by seven.
Many of Middle Earth fear her for her fierceness, and are intimidated by
her. Being an orphan, she's always been out on her own and has learned the
trade of the woods; she's very independent and quiet. She's very fond of
Legolas. She's eleven and has brown hair braided elf style. (Odd, brown
hair for an elf, LOL) I hope you like the second chapter!!!
It was the break of morning when Rinhen arrived in Mirkwood. She moved quickly and silently and got passed many Orc fleets. She was tired but had to see Legolas soon, who knew what his beastly brothers might have done to him. With that in mind, she walked more deeply. She arrived at Legolas' house. She stood before the door, and opened it quietly. She walked to his room, and woke him from his sleep.
"Legolas, wake up" she whispered, gently shaking him. His eyes opened and spotted her.
"Rinhen!" the young boy leapt up into her arms. She hugged him. "How are you?" he asked her.
"Very well. And yourself?" she wanted to know if they'd hurt him again.
"I'm okay"
"Have they hurt you lately?" she looked him directly in his blue eyes.
"Andwethion, he say mean things to me. He hurt me. My arms get bloody. He say I am a baby because I cry when he hit me too hard" Legolas was hurt. Rinhen got a concerned look on her face.
"Do you have any wounds? You tell me now Legolas, how bad have they hurt you?" she became angry, the little boy of three began to cry.
"I can't tell Rinhen. They get mad at Legolas, they hurt me" he wouldn't meet Rinhen's eyes.
"They'll never hurt you again, I promise. Now tell me, please" Rinhen whispered soothingly.
"My leg, it hurt" he confessed. Rinhen looked at his leg. It was very red. Cuts covered his knee and calf. There were also discolored whelps. Rinhen was horrified.
My God, they will pay! , Rinhen thought to herself.
"Thank you for telling me. I have to go now. You be good. I promise you someday real soon, I'll come back for you. And we'll go live somewhere else; you must be a strong little boy. Oh, please don't cry. It's all going to be okay now" Rinhen whispered, wiping tears from his cheeks.
"Why do you care about me? Brothers say Legolas don't matter. I am bad boy. I killed mommy" he cried.
"My God. Never believe a single thing those two say. Listen, you are like family to me. I love you Legolas" Rinhen said crying.
"Legolas loves Rinhen. Rinhen be Legolas big sister?"
"If that would make you happy. Yes, I'll be your sister" Rinhen smiled, he hugged her again before she left. She went back to the woods. She was in deep thought. She wished she could have left with Legolas then and there, but she had to hurry and leave Mirkwood before anyone arose and found her there. Her mind traveled to memories of her younger days. No, she couldn't bear them. She knew the people feared her, seeing her there would surely get her killed. She stood at the mouth of the woods, took a look back then turned and headed into the woods.
-------------------------
Legolas felt so happy. Rinhen would take him away from his mean brothers. Life would be good, Legolas would be happy. He went back to sleep after she left, happy.
"Get up now!" Andwethion screamed hitting Legolas with his hand. The boy was startled and jumped to his feet ignoring the pain of standing with the cuts on his legs.
"Rinhen came didn't she?!?! Speak now boy!" the angry boy of seventeen screamed slapping his younger kin.
"Yes, she come and see Legolas! She make Legolas happy! She very nice to me! Please no hurt!" he cried for mercy.
"You stupid idiot! You're useless! I should kill you now! " Andwethion screamed, he was very mad at Legolas now. He grabbed the defenseless child by his braided hair and threw him against the wooden wall. Legolas cried, the pain was excruciating. He tried to get away but his brother kept attacking him. Scratching his face, hurting him badly. Tears and blood streaked his face.
"If you listen to me, this wouldn't happen to you so often! But no! You are just a meaningless nothing!!" Andwethion screamed.
"No! Legolas matter! Rinhen say so! She loves Legolas! She cares me! She makes Legolas happy, she do care!!"
"Rinhen doesn't care about you!" he slapped Legolas. The young boy leapt to his feet and ran away. He could not take the pain! It was too much! Regardless of the pain, he ran. He ran towards the woods where Rinhen had come from. He had to find her soon.
Okay!! R/r, and I will continue this!! ThankZ!
