And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest thing to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am.

I have nothing to say, so lets cut to the chace, shall we?
Nothing belongs to me except Erinel. The rest is the all mighty Tolkien.
~*~*Facing Fate*~*~
~*Chapter 4: Remember*~
The arrow was almost touching her, the blade square between her eyes. She couldn't see her attacker; she just hoped this wasn't her time. She breathed with fear, any second the arrow could be shot without warning. She swallowed hard.
"Ya naa lle?" Her attacker asked. The voice belonged to a male.
She thought for a minute. She couldn't tell them her name, they would know of her and instantly kill her, if not, worse.
"Do you not understand?" They asked again
She still said nothing. Then she said the first thing that came to her mind
"Huiselde."
"Why are you here, Huiselde?"
"Amin… Amin wanwa." [I… I am lost]
"A, lle quet I quessir lambe?" [Ah, you do speak the elf language?]
"Ume" [Yes]
"Lle quet lle naa wanwa?" [You said you were lost?]
"Ume" [Yes]
"Khila amin" [Follow me]
She followed them silently, trying not to make a sound, but enough to let him know she was following.
"Manke naa lle autien?" [Where are we going?]
"Manke naa lle tuulo'" He asked simultaneously she dropped her own question to answer his [Where are you from?]
"Mirkwood"
"Where?"
"I'm not sure, I can't remember"
"How long have you been lost for?"
"Thr… I am not sure how long."
"You must have hit your head then?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Because you cannot remember, at least that is what you claim"
"Ume," she rushed in quickly "I must"
"You are not hiding anything, are you?"
"N'ume," She rushed again "of course not"
He eyed her strangely
"Do you know cunn Legolas?" [Prince Legolas]
"Why?"
"I need to speak with him"
"Why?"
"It is something of personal matters"
"Yes"
"Could you take me to him?"
"I don't see why not"
"Thank you"
Before long, she was at his chambers. She knocked once; she didn't bother waiting for a reply, her news was urgent, and couldn't be held back by anything he was doing. As soon as she entered she closed the door quickly, incase anyone recognized her.
"Who are you?" He asked when she entered
"I told you not to forget me, and that I would never forget you, but clearly you already have."
"What do you mean?"
She turned around and peeped through the keyhole.
"I cannot say, there are to many elf ears listening."
"I don't understand"
"Remember… remember Erinel?"
"Why?"
"Just tell me"
"Yes, I do"
"Do you remember what you used to call her?
"Huisede"
"Yes. I need to show you something" She went to remove the chain on her neck, only it wasn't there
"Oh no." She whispered
"What?"
"The chain, the necklace, its gone!"
"What chain?"
"The one that is made to match yours"
"Mine? What do you mean?"
"That night, I left, I ran. I gave you a chain and kept another."
"Why did you run?"
"To many elf ears, I cannot say."
"Why?"
"If I say, there will be consequences to a crime I didn't commit"
"I will ask you again, what is your name?"
"I have many, one that you gave me, and that is the one which I use now. My name is Huiselde"
"I did not give you any name, this is the first time I have met you."
"What do you mean?"
"You, you are unfamiliar to me, if I do know you, or did once, I do not remember, or choose to."
"Kalyaindo-"
"What did you just call me?"
"Kalyaindo, light heart"
"Why?"
"It is what I always called you"
"I do not know you"
"You do! Please! I beg you! Remember me!"
"I cannot"
"If I tell you my real name, and why I left, will you?"
"I am not certain"
"Erinel! I am Erinel, Legolas. Please, you know why I left. You were the only one who believed me, the only one I could trust. I knew you were the only one who would believe, so I told you the truth, but I am still convicted of murder!"
"Erinel… she was innocent and he, he… you are not her."
