~ Hey! I hope you liked the first chapter! Thank you for all who reviewed!
Answers to your questions:
Kitten4480, Elven Destiny, and Lady of Legolas- I did have another story called, " Unlocking of the Heart" but I took it off because I needed to change some things. But don't worry! I'll put it back up in a while, I just wanted to get this story started.
Okay, so here's the next chapter! I hope you enjoy!
~****** Chapter 2*******~
" Hurry up, she elf." An orc said, beating her with a stick, as if she was a stubborn mule. He was trying to make her run faster. Lalaith still had not recovered from her wound. If she was in Lothlorien, or Rivendell, she might have been healed, but with the orcs primative way of trying to bind a wound, and the conditions she was in, her wound was far from healed. At least she had managed to get the poison out by using her healing powers on it. Thus doing this, Lalaith wore herself out even more. She hadn't had a proper rest in two weeks. Usually elves do not need much rest, but the torture of the orcs was horrifying compared to what elves do on a regular basis.
" I am trying, but if you keep hitting me, I will not be able to catch up." Lalaith muttered to herself.
" What was that she elf?" The orc said, viciously.
" I said, that if you continue hitting me with that stick, I will not be able to keep up."
" Stupid elf." The orc said, hitting her hard on the head with the stick. Lalaith fell down, with the strong blow, and tried to get up.
" Stupid elf, get up." The orc said, continuing to strike the blows on her head, and her back. Lalaith was biting on her tongue, trying to hold back the pain, each blow was aimed at the wound she had received on her back, and it grew worse and worse with each time the orc hit her. When the orc stopped, Lalaith's mouth filled with blood, leaving a metallic taste. She got up, and stumbled around a bit, and continued to walk in a fast pace.

"Legolas, What is the rush?" Gimli asked, walking into Legolas's room as he found him packing.
" Something is wrong with Lalaith. I can feel it. My heart is screaming out to me." Legolas said, putting his hand to his chest.
" Lalaith? How can it be? Last time we saw her, she was safe with Lady Galadriel in Lothlorien!"
" I do not know, but I must go see her. She needs me." Legolas said, with a pained look on his face.
" I will come. I am not going to let you travel alone." Gimli said.
" Well, if you are joining me, hurry. I wish to leave before the moon rises and the sun sets."
" Do not worry, Master Elf, I am ready right now." Gimli said, with a hearty laugh.

One Week Later in Lothlorien
"Welcome again, Legolas Greenleaf, and Gimli, son of Gloin. Now that your quest is over, may I ask what you are here for." Lady Galadriel questioned them, though, she knew very well, why they were there.
" I am here for Lalaith." Legolas said, noticing how sad Galadriel looked, when her name was mentioned.
" I am afraid Lalaith, is not here. Three weeks ago, she was captured by a large band of orcs trying to invade our lands. She and the Galadhrim tried to stop them. They all died, and her body was not found among those of the Galadhrim." Lady Galadriel said as a tear shed from her eye, and was trailing down her cheek.
" How can this be?" Legolas said, his face turning pale.
" I am sorry. There is nothing that can be done." Silently, Galadriel said to Legolas, ' Tonight, go to the mirror, perhaps your questions will answered.'
Legolas nodded, understanding what she meant. There was still hope that Lalaith was alright.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
" Lady Galadriel? Is she alive?" Legolas asked, he was standing before the Mirror of Galadriel. Hoping to find some answers about Lalaith.
" Look into the mirror." Galadriel instructed Legolas.
Legolas leaned into the mirror. What he saw was,
Lalaith was on the ground, alone on a field somewhere. She was alone, and bleeding, her clothes were torn, she was shivering, wet and cold. It was twilight. She turned to see someone running towards her. She started to get up, and run. She started staggering, and then she fell. An orc came near her, and picked her up.
" Noooo!" Legolas screamed, tearing his eyes away from the mirror. "This cannot be true! This cannot happen. This is not her destiny" Legolas yelled out in anger.
" No one said it was. For the mirror can tell many things. This just might be your destiny, and it might not." Galadriel said, pointing her finger at him.
" My destiny? But I am not in this vision." Legolas said, looking confused.
" Take a closer look." Lady Galadriel said, pointing to the mirror. Images started to appear again. Everything was a blur, until they came to an image when the orc picked up Laliath.
" What? I do not understand?" Legolas said in confusion.
" The answer is right in front of you." Lady Galadriel said, pointing straight at Legolas.
" How am I the answer? Wait, I am." Legolas stopped short of his sentence. Shaking his head in disbelief.
" Finish your thought Legolas." Lady Galadriel prompted.
" Is the answer, for me, me to be an orc? But that is not physically possible." Legolas said, muttering, pacing back and forth.
" The only way for you to get Lalaith back is to be one of them. They are strong, you will not be able to fight them all. Your love, your love is strong. It is the only thing that will keep Lalaith alive right now."
" I cannot become an orc. It is not possible."
" Anything is possible. I am Galadriel, Lady of the Light. You can be an orc. It is the only way for you to get Lalaith. You must become the enemy to save her."
" How can I stay an orc all my life? My people, after my father goes to the Undying Lands, I am to be King. How can I, if I am an orc? "
" You will not have to be. After you bring Lalaith here I will give you the reverse potion. You will be your regular self once you have accomplished this. Legolas, do you think I would let you stay an orc? I beg of you to do this, for I fear that my daughter does not have much more time. " Lady Galadriel said, tears streaming down her face.
" How can this possibly work? I do not have any idea where she might be."
" Do not worry, your heart will lead you to her. Your love is strong."
" When do I leave, or turn into an orc." Legolas said, grimacing at the thought of turning into such a vile, disgusting creature.
" The potion I am giving you, will hurt you tremendously. I think you should drink this, when you reach the borders. So no one will try to kill you, for you will look like an orc. Take this, and drink the whole thing." Lady Galadriel said, as he handed her a small glass vial. The liquid inside was black.
" How long will it take, for my total transformation?"
" One hour, at the most. Be careful Legolas." Lady Galadriel said, kissing the top of his head. "You must leave now, before it is too late. I will explain everything to Gimli." Legolas ran off to his flet to gather his weapons, in his hand, clutching the glass vial. Not thinking about the consequences, or how he would be able to steal Lalaith away from the orcs.
