Muhahaha have conquered evil writers' block! Am creative again and V. angry that nobody commented on the first chapter of my story! Have found site that has another elf language on it but do not know if it is the right one! Must consult with my fanatic friend Andrea! Next Chapter when Legolas meets Gemini who is hanging upside down with her foot caught in the branches of a tree. Something has happened and all she remembers from her former life is a plant that bore the name Norton!? Muhahahahahaha. who's going to water Norton? :'(

The crown Prince of Mirkwood was happy. Yes it was a beautiful day out and he enjoyed being outdoors, but his mood was inexplicably joyous and above all else he felt like singing. Elandielle smiled at him as he passed smoothing a wrinkle from her dress and Legolas smiled back at her.
She was pretty he had to admit, the usual long blonde hair though it billowed around her shoulders and down her back like lambs wool instead of resting strait and perfect like the other she-elves. Her eyes were murky blue and her skin was pale and fair. She did however have possibly the sharpest tongue ever lashed into a girls mouth. She could take words from the cattiest court elves and deliver as well as she got.
"Ai!" (Hail!) She exclaimed. " Ai ernil Legolas!" (Prince Legolas.)
"Minuial hiril Elandielle." (Morning, Lady Elandielle.) He answered calmly.
She smiled and bowed instead of curtseying before striding off to join the other she-elves in the garden.
Legolas smiled and thought of how his friend Izudor fancied that elfish maiden. Perhaps he'd one day get up the courage to speak with her or ask her to go walking with him. Legolas was quite sure that Hiril Elandielle felt the same way about Izudor though she would never admit that before the other she-elves.
The woods were calling him that day so after his short discussion with Elandielle he decided to take a walk in the cool green trees and perhaps go swimming after. He started out picking his way through the dense underbrush with ease until he heard a sound soft sound. He paused trying to listen when something came flying out of the tree and hit him to the ground.

"Why's my brain hurt?" Wondered Gemini as she regained consciousness. Long strands of black hair were caught in her mouth. And as she spit them out she began looking around. Nothing but a wall of leaves all around her. Lots of leaves, lots of upside down leaves. Oh for the love of.
Her foot was lodged firmly between two branches. Below her was the hard ground laced through with roots and stones looking certain death if those branches should give way to her weight. This warranted a pretty high place on her "I never want to do THIS again list."
"How long have I been upside down? Where am I? Who am I?" All these questions flashed through her mind as she swung her torso up and latched onto the branches with her long fingers. She couldn't remember anything past the minute she woke up. She jiggled them roughly trying to get them off her numb foot. But they remained locked together around her ankle forcing her to work harder until with a soft rustle they released her foot. The sudden impacts of her body weight on her hands caused an immediate loose of grip. She tumble through the air fully expecting the hard ground to find herself coming in contact with a warm frame of flesh and bone with the structure of a man.
They both hit the ground; she felt her skull knock against something hard and dizziness overwhelmed her for a moment. He on the other hand recovered and reacted. She felt the force of his fist as it drove the wind out of her; she curled into a fetal position grabbing her roiling stomach. Her eyes were squeezed shut as she fought the forces of dizziness and nausea feeling the cold edge of a blade come to rest at her jugular she forced them open and, head swimming, looked into the eyes of her attacker.
"Man na lle?" (Who are you?) He asked harshly. He was a handsome man with azure blue eyes and long blonde hair. His high cheekbones and intense eyes made her wish they were meeting under different circumstances. "Man na lle?" He repeated pressing the blade harder.
"I. I don't know what you're saying." She told him helplessly. "I'm lost and I can't remember who I am, can you help me?" That sounded strange and seeing who she was asking. this man with the blade at her throat, pretty desperate too.
"Oh, you don't speak Elfish. you can't remember who you are?" He gave her a curious look. "Well you're in the forest of Mirkwood, near the elfish part of it actually. And I am Prince Legolas." He put the knife away. "Come with me. I'll take you to the physician."
Gemini attempted somewhat stupidly to stand and found that her right ankle, the one caught in the tree, refused quite passionately to hold her weight. "I think my ankles broken." She told him sitting down and taking of her shoe. The area around her ankle was red and swollen not to mention bleeding from its encounter with the tree. He bent down and looked at it with out touching.
"It might be." He agreed. "I'll have to carry you."
"Why don't you just help me along?" She suggested suddenly queasy at the idea of letting him touch her to much. "I don't want to be to much of a burden."
He shook his head. "No, believe me, you'll be more of a burden on foot."

The physician turned out to be a slender, graceful woman with gentle silver eyes and the same leaf shaped ears as Prince Legolas.
"Amin aear lle na u a tauron." (I see you are not a forester.) She said looking carefully at the ankle.
"She said you're not a forester." Explained Legolas. At her questioning look he switched back to elfish and said: "En elleth can u pedo Sindarin." (The elf-maid can not speak Sindarin.)
She nodded and gave Gemini the mirror she gave the children to play with. Gemini glanced in it and noticed something poking out of her hair. She pulled on it and felt a sharp stab of agony shoot through her ear! What?
Brushing aside her bangs she got a glimpse of her own leaf shaped ear and felt a sudden stab of terror. NO! A voice in her chest screamed. NO! You are not supposed to have those!
With a scream she hurled the mirror across the room where it shattered startling the elf physician and the Prince. The scars were normal she knew that but the ears, the EARS!
"What is it?" Shouted Legolas grabbing her shoulder. "What is it?"
She looked at him with his funny ears and angry face before collapsing sobbing and curling into that familiar position with her knees tucked under her chin.

Yes corny! She is an elf now and guess what? She is a messed up person! Her head though currently vacant will slowly fill with horrible memories of that slum life she lived so saes (please) keep reading! Yes I guess she shouldn't have freaked since she doesn't remember anything but the I am not an elf fixation is merely her.dislike of umm. lost the thought train there but it'll come. Why is that the review button? Yes I think it is!
