Song For None
~
Legolas struggled against the iron grip of his captor. He couldn't move his hands but his feet were free. Legolas brought back his right leg in a desperate attempt kick his captor, but just as he was about to bring it back down a man from behind grabbed both of his legs and Legolas soon found himself face down pushed against the ground, and the rough edges of a rope were winding themselves around his body. He was stripped of his weapons. The men seemed to know exactly where all his hidden weapons were. His bow and al his arrows were gone his quiver, his favorite knives from his sleeves and his belt and soft elfin shoes. Legolas's body was immobile.
Nuquer was struggling in vain also. The man who had caught her was twice her size and had the same iron grip of Legolas's captor. Nuquer felt a rope winding around her body and she was lifted up over the men's shoulder. Nuquer let out one loud shrill girlish scream of anguish before a large hand came crashing into her face and the world went black.

Maik tripped over a root and went sprawling over the ground.
"Ow!" Maik let out a frustrated cry and both Elladan and Elrohir stopped to help her.
"Where's Nuquer?" Elladan had though that she was right behind them.
"Wasn't she right behind us?" Elrohir looked around.
"Oh no! What if they got her too!?" Maik wiped her dirty face and a stray tear.
Elladan pulled Maik to her feet.
"Why is this happening!" Maik was feeling so many emotions at the moment she just wanted to fall asleep.
"Calm down Maik, panicking won't help." Elrohir laid a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"We'll just keep heading towards the mountains and see what we can find." Elladan motioned for them to continue on.

The group of men didn't stop until they had arrived back at their safely guarded castle.
"Captain!" The man carrying Nuquer called out.
"Yes, Lothoiv?" The Captain, Brea, stepped out from a dark doorway to see what his men had brought back for him.
"We found these two in the woods." Lothoiv dropped Nuquer ungracefully to the floor and another man, Krishnov, shoved Legolas to the floor beside her.
"You only found two?" Brea looked dismayed at the news.
"Yes, Captain." Lothoiv answered quickly before one of the other men could answer with the truth.
"Who are these two elfes?" Brea walked over and pulled the unconscious Nuquer up so he could see her face. "Another she-elf?" Brea commented.
"Captain, that one there is not." Lothoiv pointed to Legolas whose mouth was bound shut but was conscious.
"Who have we here?" Brea looked into Legolas's eyes. "Looks like a Lothlorien elf to me." Brea was mistaken.
Nuquer's eyes fluttered a little and slowly opened. She was startled to see the surroundings of the castle and could taste the blood from where the man had hit her on her lip.
"Captain, the she-elf is awake." One of the men pointed out.
"Take her to the special room please and take him to a room fit for a prince." Brea commanded his men.
