Song For None
~Legolas's point of view!~

We were just starting to talk in the woods when we were surprised by strange men from another land. I was furious I didn't have my bow or even a sword. None of us did. We were completely caught of guard. I started fighting right away and when I saw the largest man start to make off with Nuquer I almost panicked.

I didn't realize until that moment how much I really did care about her. I immediately ran to help her. She was struggling against him but the man was huge and built like a rock. I somehow pulled him to the ground but I think it was just the right moment when he didn't have his footing because I barely even hurt him the whole time I fought to free Nuquer.

There were a few moments right before Elladan and Elrohir came to my aid that I thought I would lose Nuquer. She was screaming in pain because the man was squeezing the arm he had broken when he grabbed her.

I was so happy when she fell into my arms but she was in a lot of pain. Her robe almost slipped of her shoulder and I hate to admit it but any other time I would have let it slip. But thankfully my brain was thinking correctly and I just held her to me.

When she fainted I started to panic again. I knew she needed to get to Elrond as soon as possible.

~Third person point of view~

Elrond heard Nuquer screaming in the woods and was waiting outside his room to see if the six were returning. He wasn't sure if they were screams of pain or just in fun.

Soon he saw Legolas carrying Nuquer to the house followed closely by Elladan, Elrohir, Maik, and Ven. He sent Vebor to fetch clean water and other things he might need.

Elrond went down to take the unconscious Nuquer from Legolas's arms. He laid her down on his own bed and started to tend to her.

"What has happened?" Elrond looked at her twisted arm.

"We were attacked father!" Elrohir was visibly shaken by what had happened.

"By who!?" Elrond looked very anguished by this.

"Strange men. Is she alright?" Legolas was concerned for Nuquer more than anything at the moment.

"I can fix her arm but it is badly twisted and will pain her for a few days. The stab in her leg was poisoned by a very strong sleeping powder. She is lucky it is shallow. I can mend it and wake her without any difficulties." Elrond began to bind her arm up. Her pulled her robe off her cut and began to cleanse the wound.

Legolas and Elladan both couldn't help but stare at Nuquer's lifeless form lying on the bed. Both were accusing themselves for not knowing the men where coming.

~Nuquer's point of view~

We were all laughing at Legolas's joke when the next thing I knew a very large man was carrying me off. I tried my best to fight against him but he was huge and somehow when he had picked me up he had crushed my arm and broken it. He was now holding me very tightly against him and my arm was shoved between myself and his armor.

He started screaming for someone to help me and Legolas came running to my aid. He pulled to man back but failed in loosening his grip on me. The man fought Legolas and was gripping me tighter and tighter to him.

I saw Elladan and Elrohir running towards the man from behind and the last thing I really remember in the man tripping slightly and the knife that was meant for Legolas plunged into my leg. I started to loose consciousness. I felt my robe rip off my shoulder and being held in Legolas's arms.

Then I was dreaming of riding the same white horse in my dream as before but Legolas was riding in front of me. We were not talking but we knew where we were going. Suddenly it turned black and Legolas was taken from me and I was thrown down into a dark prison.

Suddenly there was light and Elrond was calling my name.

~Third person View~

Elrond had succeeded in waking Nuquer from the poisonous sleep.

"Nuquer, how do you feel?" Elrond was sitting next to her.

"My arm hurts." Nuquer looked around her. She was lying in Elrond's bed and all her friends where standing at the end of the bed. She thought it was strange she should being lying in Elrond's bed. She smiled at Elrond and slowly sat up. Then it came back to her, the fight in the woods.

"Thank the Valar, you are ok!" Legolas and Maik both ran to her and hugged her.

"Who were those men?" Nuquer tried to recall what they looked like.

"I sent a few elfes to go see what they were they should be back soon. Rest young one, it's been quite an afternoon for you. You may stay here with her. I have some important business to take care of." With that Elrond left the room.

"Your robe dear, we don't want you hanging out." Maik smiled at Nuquer and pulled her torn robe back over her shoulder.

"Great, this was my favorite robe too." Nuquer looked down at her dirty robe.

Legolas sat next to her on the bed.

The two looked into each other's eyes and something passed between the two.
