Chapter two: Running away

I awoke the next day as Legolas gently shook me awake,

"Breakfast is ready for you" I turned and saw a tray of food on the table next to the bed. I smiled and sat up then realised I was sleeping in his bed,

"Where did you sleep last night?" I asked as I moved the tray onto my lap and started to munch on the food. Legolas smiled and sat next to my legs on the bed,

"We have more beds in this house, my lady"

"Hey, you do not have to add, my lady, at the end of every sentence I hope you know" Legolas laughed,

"Well what do I put at the end"

"Either nothing or Rose, for that is my name"

"Rose. What a lovely name and it suits you perfectly" I smiled and finished off the last of my breakfast,

"I suppose you elves bathe?" Legolas laughed again, it was melodic,

"Yes we do and I have brought you a dress so you will look more like an elven maid" My eyes opened wide as he brought out a light purple dress with a white dress underneath,

"That is too beautiful for me to wear!" I exclaimed

"Nothing is to beautiful for a lady, would you like to try it on?"

"Usually I dislike dresses but this one I think I might actually try" Legolas smiled and handed the dress to me along with some soap and a little jug of what looked like shampoo,

"The bathroom is just over there, have fun" I smiled and walked to the bathroom.

When I emerged I felt refreshed and clean. Legolas looked up and gasped,

"Well you really do look beautiful in that dress" I blushed and looked down then up again,

"We will have to get someone to do your hair. Come on" Legolas took my hand and led me into yet another room that had hair accessories in it. I sat down in one of the chairs as I was ordered to and waited patiently for another elf to enter. About ten minutes passed when an elf finally appeared and she got to work. About half an hour later my rib length blonde hair hung down my back in one long plait and a couple of flowers in it. Legolas smiled,

"You look very beautiful now, Rose" I smiled and blushed again.

"Come on, I am sure father would like to see you now" I was a bit reluctant but went anyway. Legolas led me to his father's chamber and we silently walked in. The king looked up and gasped,

"Is this the girl we captured?" He asked, Legolas. Legolas nodded and beamed but stopped as the guards seized me.

"What is going on, father?" Legolas asked frantically,

"This girl is the work of the devil, she will be going in the dungeons where she belongs" Legolas was overtaken by anger and he fought the guards off,

"Run Rose!" (A/N: How cliché is that) I ran as fast as I could. I ran down the steps quickly and ran out of the forest and along a dirt road.

After a couple of days of running I looked around me to find a little village at my right. I quickly ran down to the nearest house and knocked on the tiny door. A small hobbit (I guessed) opened the door and looked up at me,

"Do you want something" I knelt down to come face to face with the hobbit,

"I am lost, can you point me in the direction of the nearest place with elves or men" The hobbit went back into his house and came back with a map,

"Go along this road here and in two days you will end up in Rivendell" I smiled kindly at the hobbit,

"Thank you so much, you have been a real help" The hobbit nodded and closed the door.

I followed the road for two days and near the end of the second day I bumped into another elf, literally. I laughed a little and stood up and shook myself off,

"Is Rivendell near?" The elf nodded,

"I am just going there, follow me?"

"Rose" I filled in. The elf held out his hand,

"I am Elladan son of Elrond, pleased to meet you Rose daughter of?" I thought quickly,

"Alakasha" I said quickly. Elladan nodded,

"I think I have heard of your mother, is she an elf like you?" I frowned and felt my ears to see they were pointed. I hid my shock and nodded,

"Yes she is, but she died when I was young and I never really got to know her"

"I am very sorry"

"Do not be, it is not your fault" There was an awkward silence until we reached the house of Elrond (another good guess)

"How old are you, Rose?"

"I am five hundred and twenty two" I replied. I actually answered this from a strange memory. No, that is not true, I have never been here before so it must be my imagination.

"So you are young? I am sure father will allow you to stay here for a little while" I smiled,

"Thank you, Elladan, you have been a real help"

"Just make sure no body is looking for you" He joked. I froze.

A/N: Will she tell him or not? R&R people!!!!!!!!!!!!
