Sorry this took so long, but I hope it's worth the wait! You'll find out why Serena went with Ufag in ch. 17.







Ch. 14





Legolas watched them go. He felt his heart shatter when Serena yelled at him to leave her alone. Callista looked smug, and winced at the bruises on her face. Elrond glanced around the room, and made everyone leave save Legolas. He realized by the expression on Legolas' face that he had no idea of what just happened.

"I assume you have no idea of what the fight was about?" Elrond asked. Receiving a nod form Legolas he continued. "Serena, and Callista were fighting over you. Judging from the shouts we heard there must have been an argument. I came in, and the four of them were fighting against each other. Gandalf told them to stop, but was ignored. What happened afterwards I'm not sure. I found my-self restraining Serena. You then snapped out of your daze, and went to help Callista to your feet. You didn't see Serena in the room did you?"

"No I did not. I'm so stupid, and now Serena hates me. Now I can't even go near her, and apologize since Amarra…"

"Do not concern yourself with Amarra. I'm sure she's just upset because Serena is. This will all work out in the end."


"I hope so, but if not I know that I'll die of grief if she doesn't forgive me."

"Do not say such things Legolas! Even though she's upset she does love you."

"Thank you Lord Elrond. I appreciate all that you've helped me with."

"There's no need to thank me. Now let's go talk to Serena, and get this whole thing settled."


Legolas smiled, and followed Elrond out of the room. Callista tried to stop him, but a glare from Gandalf, Erestor, Lindir, and Arwen stopped her.

When the two reached the door to Serena's bedroom they saw Amarra, Michelle, Trista, Hotaru, and Rini. As Amarra looked up she glared at Legolas, who boldly met her gaze.

"What's HE doing here?"

"Calm down Amarra." Michelle told her soothingly.

"I apologize for what happened back there. I now realize what that must have seemed, and looked like. But please give me three-minutes to talk to her."

"Two, and if you hurt her anymore…"

"I assure you I wont."

Amarra nodded her consent. After all she reminded herself that this is the father of her future prince. A glance form Trista, and all of them left Legolas alone.

Legolas knocked on the door, but there was no answer. "Serena please open the door I must speak with you." Silence was his only answer. Tears of anguish welled up in his eyes, but he blinked them back. He then set about picking the lock. After hearing the door slide open he braced himself and entered. As he turned his attention to the bed he saw that the room was empty. He frantically searched the bedroom, and saw a morgul blade flashing in the moonlight on the balcony. "Orcs!" he hissed through his teeth, and ran down the stairs.

Trista heard running, and looked to see Legolas running as if his life were at stake. "Legolas what happened?"

"Serena's missing." Was his reply, as he stopped and looked at them.

That was the only thing the outers needed to hear. They transformed missing the shocked looks of the others that were present. And ran out to the stables with Legolas. Aragorn shot Arwen a loving look, as he to followed the outers. Determined to help his friends. Rini was left behind, but didn't mind at all. Elrond looked at her, and put a hand on her shoulder.

Glorfindel, Gil-Galad, Oropher, and Thranduil rode ahead of the party. Scouting the area for any danger. Thranduil gave a cry as he saw 5 Nazgul, an orc, and a woman heading for Mordor. Glorfindel gasped as he recognized the woman.

"Glorfindel what is it?" Oropher asked.

"That's Serena!"

"What?! Let's go get her."

"There are to many Nazgul, Oropher. We also can't wait for the others to catch up since they'll be out of site." Gil-Galad said.

"Very well then. I'll see you all later."

"Where are you going father?"

"Eru told me to look after Serena, and the baby. So that's exactly what I'm going to do."

"I'm coming with you then." Thranduil told him, and the two rode after Serena.

When Serena, and Ufag to the Nazgul they bowed to her. One of them savagely grabbed his horses' reins, and offered his hand to her. Serena accepted it, and was lifted onto the horse. They galloped towards Mordor. Only stopping for Serena to rest, and eat. For nine days they traveled, when they finally arrived at Mordor the Lord of the Nazgul came out to greet her.

"My queen, Lord Sauron, and Setavid will arrive shortly. They wish for you to make yourself comfortable."

"I will, Ufag, after I rest I wish to pick out a horse."

"Yes, your majesty." Ufag said with a bow.

Serena nodded at him, and smiled inwardly. Yes, everything was going according to plan. Soon this would all be over….

End of ch. 14


Yes! I finished! Now I need to figure out how I'm going to make all this work. For all of you who hate the inners don't worry. They're going to suffer in the worst way possible.

I want everyone to know that I tried to send them e-mail cards but 80% couldn't be sent. I was so upset, that took me 2 hours to do! Oh well those of you who got cards I hope you enjoy them.

Bye!
