Chapter Sixteen: The Search For Elenwe
I rushed quickly through my clothes finding the most able outfit. I placed it on and ran out of my room as Bariela followed me. Lemron and Legolas were standing near the stairs as we quickly approached them.
"We called on everyone who is able to help with the search. They are heading out now." Lemron said.
Legolas stared around as many of the servants ran beside them and down the stairs. They all rushed quickly down them and waited for the rest of the able-bodied men and women to continue on with a search.
"Let's go." I urged.
We rushed rapidly down the steps to gather with the others. A few groups were separated leaving Legolas, Lemron, Bariela, and I to go out together. We ran through the doors to the outside. I ran further past them, so that I could see where we were heading.
"Legolas, I need to find her!" I shouted. "She is the only person who made me feel something, when I felt nothing."
"We will find her." Lemron said calmly.
I felt a hot tear run down my cold icy cheeks. I shivered slightly, before shrugging it off. I began to walk along the path quickly. They followed me closely behind.
"Are you sure she would be in the forest? What if she was taken out of Mirkwood?" I eagerly asked Legolas.
"The guards would have given notice to us." Legolas replied.
I gave a slight nod of my head as I viewed my surroundings. The forest was dark, and hollow. My blood ran cold as I saw the emptiness of the night that lingered in the forest. The moon shinned dimly through the thick rough woodland. Shadow's leered around every tree and bush, and each shadow formed a figure of the night. My eyes drew brighter and they quickly adjusted to the night's dark.
I followed my will as it led me deeper and deeper into the forest. I soon forgot all about Legolas, Bariela, and Lemron. I could hear their discussion but all their words seemed faint. All I could think about was getting to Elenwe.
"Galadwen!" Someone shouted.
I quickly turned around to see I had lost my companions. I frantically searched for any sign of them.
But then a loud crackling noise came from behind me. I pivoted around to see a gray, hairy, snarling wolf. I backed up into a tree. Fear ran through me. I could no longer feel the cold breeze, but the hot blood pumping in my body.
"NO!" a demanding voice said.
A woman cloaked in a black garment jumped down from a near by tree in front of the wolf. I closed my eyes but rapidly re-opened them. The wolf had disappeared, and there stood a strange woman.
I focused my eyes on the figure and I almost went into shock. I covered my mouth, but then slowly brought it down.
"ELENWE!" I shouted.
I ran up to her, but as I came closer to her, I felt a gust push me away hitting a near by tree. I fell to the ground crying in pain. I brought my tear filled eyes up to her.
"Do not say my name so loudly!" She demanded.
I stared at her questionably.
"I suppose, you are wondering what is going on?" She asked.
"Yes.." I coughed out.
"Well, since you asked." Elenwe began with a rude tone. "I have always known about you, always known that you were a princess. But you had to be a servant."
"How?" I questioned.
"You see, your family sent you away, to keep you safe. But my dear, they sent you right into my arms." Elenwe said to me.
"You're the one they wanted to keep me from? Didn't they know that you were there?" I asked menacingly.
"No, you see the real Elenwe has past, long, long ago." She said. "I am not the Elenwe every one knows. I am someone you would not expect."
My eyes grew wide with panic. "Who are you?"
"You would love to know, wouldn't you? You always needed to know everything." She began. "This will be quite a surprise."
A strong gust of wind blew past me and over to her. Piles of leaves and brush flew by and wisped around her. The cloud of wind was covered in darkness. But it was short lived. The wind died down, and I brought my eyes to the person standing before me. I felt a sharp pain of defeat as I stared at him.
"Why? Why are you doing this Handir?" I angrily asked.
A/N: If you remember the chapter 9: Unknown then it explains about him.. Lol. Surprises do await! I hope you guys liked the chapter, it's going to come close to being the end! GET EXCITED!!!! And review too! Lol. Oh sorry for the shortness, I just have to go to bed early, its like 12 already and I need to get up for school next week.
