Chapter 7: The Search For Answers

I first saw Haldir and Legolas. They were conversing privately with each other. I decided instantly that I should try and get closer to figure out what they were saying to each other.

I started to try and figure out a way to get closer to them. I wasn't going to try and approach them from the ground. They'd hear me for sure. I saw directly above me that I could get to the next tree with little effort. When I got to the next tree I was almost close enough to hear what they were saying to each other. I decided to go out on the branch. I could just make out what they were saying.

I couldn't believe what Haldir was telling Legolas. How could it be true. This is why they had kidnapped me. Haldir was right when he said I know that you can't understand or don't want to believe. I nearly fell out of the tree with shock.

I went straight back to the first tree and sat on a branch, trying to deal with all that I had just learnt. I decided I should go back to the elves and act as if I didn't know what I now know but that was going to be difficult.

I jumped back down to the ground without thinking. CRAP!!!! CRAP!!! CRAP!!!
