Title:

Rating: pg-13

Genre: Drama/Action

Summary: Same as previous chapter. NOTE: I may try to use some elvish phrases. I'm not very good with Sindarin, so correct me if it's wrong. For resources, look up the Hisweloke dictionary on the Internet. This story is going downhill, as I haven't got my sister here to help me. Sorry, but my past life memory is a bit rusty, so not a lot of this makes sense.. Come to think of it, I don't make much sense myself.

Chapter Two

Men bar

(Road Home)

The sunlight filtered through the trees, dappling my sister's face with golden light. We walked through the woods, careful not to make a sound when we were suddenly set upon by four Men, all of which were armed. They were eyeing us greedily, looking us up and down. I shifted uncomfortably and moved closer to Kalathrien. She and I locked eyes, communicating silently. One man lurched forward, attempting to grab Kalathrien. She yelled a whipped around, slicing through the tender flesh of his throat with her dagger. Scarlet blood poured from the wound as the fat man fell to the ground, choking. At the same moment, a second man lunged tward me, attempting to knock me off my feet. I dodged him and grabbed his wrist, pulling it with me the wrong way. The bone snapped and the man screamed, holding onto his wounded arm.

Kalathrien sliced the air in front of the remaining two, growling like a wild animal. The men screamed and bolted in the direction they had come.

"Did you see them?!" Kalathrien cried triumphantly, grinning from ear to ear. "Yellow bellied Humans!" she called after them. I smiled at her, and patted her on the back.

"Let us depart, the sun is high and we have much traveling to do." I said.

"Yes Celedir." said she in a singsong voice.

The sun set and rose many times before we arrived at the remains of a house. The charred wood told us all we needed to know. Something stirred in me as we sifted through the ashes and wood. A few elvish trinkets remained in the burnt out shell. Kalathrien was silent.

"Celedir. Does anything bout this place remind you.." said Kalathrien softly.

"Yes."

"This.. This."

"Was our home." I finished bitterly.

A tear slid down her cheek. I felt a twin tear snaking it's way down my own cheek.

"Then.we did have a family." I muttered to myself.

Kalathrien stood up straight and refitted her dagger.

"Come on. We must keep going. We don't know if those Men had friends. They may have wanted to keep us." Said my sister briskly.

I nodded in agreement and we struck out over the ashes of our home. We didn't look back until we were far from the skeleton house.
