Legolas woke from his slumber to find Lindell awaiting him. She starred in his eyes and he sat up. He didn't know quite what her eyes were saying to him.

"Everything...Alright Lindell?" he asked slowly. She nodded and showed him that none of her was unbound save for her hands. He got up, was soon greeted by company, and was served many food and drink from the elven maidens of Lothlorien. He was pleased that Lindell had a smile on her face whilst she ate.

They were now to take their leave. Haldir followed behind slowly watching the many elf women and children wave them save journeys. He almost had tears in his eyes. Legolas looked back as well.

"Beautiful." He whispered to Lindell. She was now sitting on his horse with him in his arms. Her hair smelled of trees and plants, nothing like Arownen's.

They went on for a while and saw many trees and plains. It was near sundown when they heard great cries coming from a forest far off to the south. They heard the screams of orcs, though not cries of pain, more of laughter. They deiced to investigate.

Along the plain they ran, night had fallen. They came upon orcs, surrounding a fire wailing with laughter. They were eating what looked like rabbits, but they could not tell for the bodies were savagely ripped apart.

Legolas sprang on them shooting arrows in each direction, the others followed him with bows at the ready. The orcs did not know what was on them but they got themselves together and took down a couple elves with their swords. Legolas hid the horse with Lindell on it in the trees still bound.

"Stay here." He said to her before running towards the orc camp. There were many cries and Legolas saw close to 100 orcs running around or lying dead on the floor.

Haldir and men were shooting them down. One orc came behind Haldir and Legolas took up his bow and shot it straight in the head. Haldir nodded thank you and they kept on shooting.

Then Haldir shot what seemed to be the last of the orcs, whilst the other were making sure that the ones on the ground were dead.

"Heading for Lothlorien I think." Legolas said to Haldir. Suddenly an arrow came from nowhere and hit something to the back of Legolas. The orc lying dead to the ground behind him was hit by an arrow of an elf. He looked towards the woods and saw Lindell with her bow in her hands. He walked towards her.

"Thank you." He bowed.

"Yeah, well I had my chance to see you die, and if it were up to me... I would be the one to do it. I would not let an orc have that kind of pleasure." She laughed. He thought for a moment and then an uneasy smiled formed on his lips.

They went back to the horse and he helped her on. They rode once more into the forest and came upon another camp of orcs journeying towards the west. Legolas was beginning to tire of fighting, they hid in the trees so the orcs could not find them.

Legolas slid down to make sure they were gone after about two hours up in a tree and an arrow came and hit him in the shoulder. Her fell to the ground in pain and Haldir dropped from a tree to check him.

Legolas did not know where it was from, but the first thing he saw was Lindell holding a bow. Haldir looked at her. She gasped and dropped it. She ran into the woods and out of their traces.

"Legolas!" Haldir called once he came back. Legolas was lying on the ground and several elves were now around him. Tearith was putting herbs on his cut and bandaging it up.

"Haldir." Legolas sighed. "She did not shoot me, I do not think." He said. Haldir picked up the arrow and presented it to Legolas.

"An elven arrow. She was the only one who beheld a bow my prince." He said softly.

"We will find her later, orcs are patrolling it seems. Let us stay in the trees tonight." He said as he stood up. His legs were weak but Haldir and Tearith held him up.

"So much for becoming allies." Legolas sighed as they brought him to a high thick branch in a tall tree. He laid there and slept for the rest of the night.

****************************************************************

The next morning he awoke to Arownen's face. He was in his bed back in Mirkwood. All was well.

"Hello my love." She said softly smiling. "I have found you."

"Arownen!" he said sitting up in his bed and hugging her tightly. "I am overjoyed to see you, I have missed your presence." He said. His heart seemed to have stopped beating. He saw her pretty face once more. He kissed her lips softly and then her forehead.

Her gold eyes were all he was looking at. They came out of the silver light in her pale face. They remained soft, he felt as if he were floating, or as if he was on a cloud and Arownen's face was the stars that shinned above him.

He kissed her again and she smiled brightly.

"I have missed you as I have said my love. You are here with me now." He said to her softly.

"Legolas, I must tell you something." She said.

"Yes what is it Melda elen." He sighed.

"I love you, but you are to far away from me to return my love." He looked confused at her words. He did not understand. He was holding her in his arms.

Then her face of stars floated far away from him and he felt alone. His breath seemed to pause. He could not think, she was so far from him, yet so close. He felt her, but she was not there. He became blind. All went black, though he still could feel her warmth and body above his.

He now saw the sun shining brightly through the tree. Haldir came shortly after. He looked around him and saw dark wooden trees and a pale pine ground under him form his perch on a high tree.

"Dreaming?" Legolas said softly. Haldir was bathing his cut were the arrow pierced his left shoulder and paused to look at him.

"What Prince Legolas?" he said softly.

"Was I dreaming I wonder."

"Dreaming? I do not know, I do not share your thoughts." He said softly.

"Never mind friend Haldir. Thank you for healing me. I feel much better." He said as he sat up.

His head swam with dizziness, he almost fell back into his resting please. Haldir held him up and he slowly got to his feet.

"Are you ok to climb down Legolas?"

"Go on Haldir, get your men ready and I will be down shortly after my thoughts has ceased spinning in my mind."

Haldir nodded and shot down the tree. Legolas could hear him commanding his troops to ready themselves. He looked down and saw the elves in their gray tunics ready to leave. He climbed slowly down the tree. Tearith and Derthi were waiting for him at the bottom.

They held something, on the ground there it bent. He could not see because his thoughts were unclear to him still. He got from the tree and saw it was a maiden. Lindell, was the thought that came to his head.

"This maiden is charged with dishonesty and an untold alliance with the orcs. Enemies are we to her, and she to us. She must be killed." Tearith said.

He gave Legolas a look of concern and held up his hand. A circle of elves surrounded them and notched arrows to their bows.

"Should I give the orders Legolas?" He said.

Legolas looked at her. He stood now tall, his mind was clear, he knew of no decision at present. He looked at the surrounding elves and shook his head.

"No do not shoot her. I will take care of her myself once we get to Helms Deep." He said. "You can drag her by a silver rope if she does not obey your command Tearith.

Legolas mounted his horse and took one last look of grief at Lindell. He was angered by her, though she looked at him with tears in her eyes. He shook his head in pity and turned his horse to the direction they persisted in.
