"Another Death"




Legolas got no sleep that night for his mind was troubled with what had happened. When morning came he was the first one out of his room. Legolas walked around in search of Nina, for he wanted to speak with her. He came into the dining hall and stopped. Spread across the table was the bloody remains of what looked like Nina. Legolas slowly approached the table and looked at her. The white satin tablecloth was now soaked with her pure elven blood. It was a horrible sight. Her stomach was ripped open and there was cut marks on her arms. Legolas was filled with nausea at the sight, but forced himself to look further. Her body was spread across the table with her right hand hanging down. He saw that her neck was snapped. Her blond hair was a mess and stained with her own blood, her eyes were open and a look of horror was upon her face. Legolas looked away with tears in his eyes. Nina had been a fine elf and a good friend of his. Legolas felt a shiver run down his back, and felt the same evil presence as last night. He shuddered as that thought come into his mind. He slowly looked up at the door and Liena was standing there.

"Legolas what's wrong," she asked him.

Legolas found he could now move and he stepped to the side. Liena's eyes then fell upon Nina. Liena let out a cry and covered her eyes. Legolas came to her and held her in his arms. But when he touched her a sense of danger came upon him and he did not under stand it. Legolas then looked down the hall and saw his father.

"Father," he called to him. "Come quick."

Thranduil came to Legolas and looked into the dining hall and saw Nina. He quickly looked away.


"What happened here?"

Legolas let go of Liena and looked at his father.


"I found Nina like this when I came in here."


"Did you find a weapon?"

"No, but from what I can tell there was a blade
used, but I can not find it and who ever did this must be
strong, for her neck was broken as well."

"But you did not find the blade?" he father said a little confused.


"No I'm sorry father."


"Is that all that happened to her?"


"Her stomach is ripped open as well, but that is all that I
noticed. Father, who could do something like this?" Legolas asked.


"I do not know, but we shall find out." Thranduil said and left Legolas and Liena there to go find help for it was still early in the morning. Legolas looked back at the body of Nina and whispered an elven prayer to himself. Liena looked Legolas over from behind. It would not be easy to get to him but the thought of a challenge thrilled her.
