Rinhen had finally reached Rivendell again by afternoon. She'd have to enter and be seen. She took a deep breath and walked into the city. Many people walked to and fro, stopped and stared at her, others gaze her harsh passing glances from the corners of their eyes as she passed them. Rinhen tried hard to ignore them. She was looking for someone. She searched through the populous crowds that gathered for their daily commute. Suddenly, not far up ahead, she saw the blonde hair and quiet face of her distant cousin, Hallainzilwen. She spotted Rinhen and walked to her on her steady, graceful feet.

"There you are Rinhen! Most of the town is looking for you!" she stated.

"Looking for me? Why?" Rinhen was clueless.

"Haven't you heard?" Hallainzilwen was

"Heard what??" Rinhen asked.

"Legolas Greenleaf, the one of Mirkwood that you're so fond of, has gone missing! His brother Andwethion told Saurcristwen he came home and he was gone! They say someone saw you near the place the morning he left!" Hallainzilwen announced.

"What?! That is a lie! Legolas wouldn't disobey me! He would not leave, unless he had a reason!" Rinhen screamed, inside she thought she knew just why and anger was building due to it.

"But, you were there, weren't you?"

"Well yes.. but, that means nothing! Where is Aviforthion? Is he in town??" Rinhen asked in a rushed way.

"No, you just missed him, he was going home to meet his brother. I guess they are both worried sick about the poor boy" Hallainzilwen cooed.

"I'll be damned if that's so!" Rinhen turned and began to run, no one could see through the clever veneers of those two.

"Oh, but I see..and you will not get away with this, not one more time, if I have to kill you, so be it" Rinhen whispered to herself angrily and she left Rivendell.

--------------------------------

Legolas was all alone in the big, cold woods. Rinhen was much quicker than him. She was probably out the woods entirely. He was too scared to go back. He shivered and hugged himself tightly to keep warm. He had cried so much over the last couple days, from the painful wounds. Why didn't his brothers love him, why didn't they care?? Oh, he knew. Legolas was a bad, bad boy. He killed their mommy. He did. He didn't notice he was crying as he nestled against an overturned tree. Mommy died giving birth to Legolas. It was all his fault, he deserved to freeze to death right here and never be found. Everyone hated him, daddy didn't care, and his brothers beat him constantly. He didn't belong in this hateful world. But, wait there was Rinhen. Rinhen loved him, she truly cared. He smiled in the dark. Remembering her nice voice, all the good things she said to him. He settled down and fell asleep.

**** Dream****

Rinhen sat up in the burning ruins, watching her world die. She was crying, bloody arms and legs, scraped face, and soot streaked hair.

"Mama! Angaberidiel! Daddy!! Helllpp!!" they would not come, this she knew, the small child stood on wobbly, hurt feet. She screamed, why would no one come?? She was all alone, in the vast blackened land. She sat on the ground. The child of three couldn't bear the truth.

"It be all okay, it will.it will!" she cried in desperation trying to comfort her self, her tries were in vain. She was alone...all alone.
