At the news of humans I felt myself lose control. Oh I must see these creatures that had somehow reached the Grey Haven! I must see them. They are not elves therefore I MUST see them.
"Ed' i'ear ar' elenea! (By the sea and stars)" Elladan gasped as they all laid eyes on the site of the landing.
At that moment as I laid eyes on that dark skinned child in the mothers arms I knew something. Reaching out to stroke the child's tear stained face only to be pushed by Elrohir I knew something. Seeing his mouth move and his words no reach me I knew something. Seeing them dislodge the girl from the mother's arms and grasp in shock at her wounds I knew something. I would die without that girl as mine.
"Legolas! LEGOLAS! Help us. This woman needs a healer." Elladan glared as he positioned himself to pick the woman up.
I broke my eyes away from the sleeping girl being taken away by Celorfiwyn Elrohir oldest son. I turned my attention back to the matter at hand.
-
"Manke tanya tuula?(Where did that come from?)" Elrohir said.
"Mani ume lle quena?(What did you say?)" Elladan said having not paid attention.
"Did you see the way Legolas stared at that girl. Where did that look come from?" Elrohir frowned.
"I don't know. I wonder why the healer hasn't come out. It's been so long." Elladan frowned. He knew not how the woman had been injured; she just bled through a hole in her chest.
The door opened softly and the healer exited. Turning to the Kings she spoke softly, "Talk to her now. Learn what you can. She will die. I can not save her. The Comers would know but not I."
Elladan sighed as he made his way in only to find Legolas already talking to the woman. She was mumbling quickly as she gripped Legolas. He patted the woman's hand on his shoulder nodding every moment or so.
"I'll not leave her side. I promise. May Valar protect you." Legolas said with his strong voice. Elladan didn't make as sound as the woman's hand went limp and she passed away.
"I'm taking the child with me. I'm leaving now." Legolas said turning to hall door.
Elladan stepped in his way, "Legolas. You can not do this. She came by way of my valley..."
"DINA! (Be silent)" Legolas growled as he stomped out.

I look at her sleeping sweetly and I think, This won't work. Shaking her gently by her shoulder I attempt to wake her. She opens her eyes and looks at me with wonder.
"Here Hewen, that is what you will be called sweetie. I know your real name but tell no one else. They mustn't know you aren't an elf. Here put this on." I tell her quickly in fear of being caught.
I don't want them to take that angel away from me. I watch has she giggles putting on the cloak. Now cover I reach out to her face and cover it with powder. She soon has the face of a pale ageless elf. Now the hair. I pull the hood down for a moment and cast some of the recently discovered beauty magic from a century or two ago. Her hair is white now, but only for a time.
"You mother said you have to follow me. Listen to me," I say taking her face between my hands. "You're mother says you have to be a good girl. Be and good girl and Fluffy will be proud of you. Now to be a good girl you have to come with me."
Her eyes grow big with sadness. Fluffy, her dog her mother said, had been kill recently when a car hit it. It was the only way he could prove himself without mentioning her mother's death.
She nodded a tear slowly falling down again the powder of her face. A small streak of gold brown skin appeared again. "Where is Legolas?" A voice called from outside.
I pick her up in my arms in a rush, they knew I would be here. "Come on sweetie. Time to go home." I said rushing across her room and jumping out of the window.
I vaguely hear, "She's gone! He took her she's gone!" I ignore them and continued to run.
-
"He took her Elladan! We have to stop her." Elrohir said flabbergasted.
"No! It was the wish of the mother for him to care for her. Leave them be. Tell no one of the dark haired human. Legolas will let the Grey Havens know of her when the time is right." Elladan said listening to the distant retreating footsteps of Legolas Greenleaf Prince of the Valley of the Wood and Keeper of the last mortal on The Grey Havens.
"Watch her well, and Valar help us if you love her." Elladan muttered to Elrohir's shock.
Elrohir glared, "He can't, he won't! He'd die! He'd be gone in a blink of an eye! He can't!"
"That's for him to decide." Elladan said leaving the room.
