Rinhen turned and hit the tree perfectly, she quickly bolted in the opposite direction and nailed yet another target. She withdrew her bow smiling. Finally, she was ready to attack after so much preparation. She remembered the things her dad had taught her before he had been killed and watched many battles and learned the angles. She had to teach herself, and after three years, she was finally pro. The townsfolk had never accepted her, so she had to face life alone in the woods. The first year was very hard on Rinhen. But, she developed an emotionless attitude and learned the woods through and through. She had stalked the Orcs that killed her family, watching them and waiting for her perfect revenge. Rinhen had practiced different situations-land, aerial, surprise, how to conduct a surprise and other needed experiences. She'd also visited past battle sites and studied the Orc body, scavenging for arrows and finding the weakest spot to attack. Now, after all this, it was time.
Rinhen was so ready; she clenched and unclenched her fists. She'd gathered over two hundred and forty-three arrows, and Rinhen had sharpened both her long knives. She looked down on the Orc fleet that camped right below the bluff she stood on. It was night, and very cold at that. She wondered what they were doing, and how clueless that this would be there last night alive. She smiled; this is exactly what she wanted. She turned away and began walking towards the vast land ahead. Rinhen had overheard them talking of an attack on Mirkwood. She found a shortcut and she'd be able to cut them off on their route and kill them all before the people of Mirkwood knew she'd did so. It wasn't the Orcs she was particularly afraid of, she could take them she'd practiced that. But, she was chancing being caught. Its not that anything would happen to her she just wanted to be as far away from them as possible. She moved silently among the dark woods, she'd be there in no time.

Rinhen looked down on the small boy, he was just an infant. She didn't know what to do. Should she kill it? It was staring at her with its wide blue eyes. Rinhen looked around, no one was there to claim it. She felt confused.
"Can you talk??" she asked the baby.
"Ga-ga-gaaah-goo!" it said giggling.
"Uh, children." Rinhen said. She'd found the baby of about a year. She was only nine, what would she do with the little pest? She stared at it with her coldest glare, but it just laughed and smiled at her. It was kinda cute, why had he been out here alone anyhow? She picked it up gently and stared in his eyes. She saw herself in those poor eyes. She smiled and hugged him tight. What a sweet child. She suddenly heard something in the bushes. She stepped in front of the baby to protect it and drew out her bow. She aimed it at the bush and out from behind it stepped a fifteen-year- old elf with blonde hair. He looked at her and saw the child behind her and gasped.
"You're the one who killed those Orcs two years back aren't you?!" he yelled. Rinhen was startled and did not reply.
"Legolas! But, how are you still alive-I mean, uh, there you are dear brother!" the boy said. The young child known as Legolas looked up at the boy and yelped, he hid behind Rinhen's leg.
"Come now, Legolas!" the boy demanded. Rinhen stepped out to the teenager.
"Why was this boy alone in the woods?? I found him beaten and bruised, appears someone left him to die" Rinhen accused angrily.
"Clearly you must have inflicted those wounds yourself, I'd couldn't imagine anyone doing such a thing to my baby brother" Rinhen sensed a lie in his voice.
"I'd never" Rinhen hissed. The boy grabbed Legolas' arm and yanked him to his side. Rinhen drew out her bow and placed it at his head. He was startled and stumbled backwards quickly.
"How dare you? I can have you killed for trying to attack me. I am Andwethion Greenleaf, a son of greatness" he protested.
"I could care less"
"Let me go with my brother. I promise this will never happen again" he softened. Rinhen held the bow tight and considered it silently. She did not trust this boy, but the child needed to be with his family, even if they were jerks such as this one.
"Fine, but leave now before I change my mind" she withdrew.
"Thank you"
"Oh, and Andwethion.."
"Yes?"
"I will know what you do to him. So, mind your manners.or else" she dared. He gulped but held his stare of confidence. He turned and yanked the boy away, against his will.
"R-R-Riinnn" the baby said. She smiled, and waved to him as he was pulled away. She felt torn; she'd never known love especially for a stranger. But she had so much in common with the poor, child. She basically saw herself within those young, meek eyes. She was abused, so was he. She lived an unfair life, so did he. She'd never known real love, he probably had not either. A lot in common is what they are.

Okay! That was just a kinda short summary of their likeness. Why Rinhen knew Legolas and all! More later! Please R/r!!
