Chapter One: But Why?
//" Elen, wake up....".
"But why mother?...i'm too tired.
"Don't you want to say goodbye to me?"
"Where are you going?..."
"To Mirkwood, I'm going to visit Mélawen"
Eleniel sat up.Her mother came and sat down beside her.
"Goodbye Mother, may you have a wonderful and safe trip."
Tamuríl had hugged her daughter and whispered in her ear...."I will miss you...my storm".
With a confused look, Alatáriël replied..."I will miss you too".//
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eleniel tossed and turned in her bed, the memories of the day her mother and father left, still haunting her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
//"Father, how long has it been since Mother left for Mirkwood?",Eleniel asked.
"Almost 6 months...I'm starting to worry, she should have returned by now,
I'm leaving tonight to go see her" Amrod replied.
"Your leaving me here by myself ?!." She practically yelled.
"you are a big girl now, I'm sure you can take care of yourself", Her Father said with a chuckle.//
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
//"Father, when you find Mother, tell her I miss her." Eleniel said, holding back the tears.
"I will...stay out of trouble, and be strong.Goodbye Elen",And with those last words said, He rode off.//
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
//"Yes Miressawen, what is it you wanted to tell me?...", Eleniel asked her friend.
Miressawen looked up with tears running down her cheeks.
"What is wrong, did someone hurt you?!" Eleniel asked hurredly.
"Y-your Mother a-and Father...T-they...didn't m-make it....to M-Mirkwood", Miressawen said between sobs.
".....what...." Eleniel replied unsure.
"Elen, I'm so sorry....they were attacked, and didnt make it" Miressawen said, tears swelling up again.
Eleniel just stared at the ground, tears threatening to fall....but she would not let them....her Father had told her to be strong.
She would not cry.//
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eleniel woke up in a cold sweat, she shot up in bed and looked around.She was in her bed, just like she had been before she fell asleep.Since the death
of her parents, Miressawen had taken in her friend.The room was dark, but her elven eyes could see just fine.She heaved a strong sigh and closed her eyes.
"I will not cry.....I will not cry..." she whispered repeatedly.She was on the verge of tears, but she refused to allow them to fall.She took several deep breaths
and opened her eyes again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seeing as how she was wide awake, and could not possibly go back to sleep, she stretched and yawned.Pushing the pile of blankets off her, she slid her legs
around to dangle over the side of her bed.careful not to wake up her friend, she got out of bed.As her feet hit the freezing floor, she gasped in suprize quickly
covering her mouth as Miressawen shuffled a bit in her bed. Releived, she uncovered her mouth.She walked over to the talon window and peered outside.
It looked much like any other night, people walking around, returning home or just out for a nighttime walk. She decided to go for a long walk to get
her mind off her troubles, and that particular haunting memory.
She walked over to her cedar chest and went through it till she found what she was looking for. Tip-toeing behind the changing screen she began to take off
her nightgown.She through the nightgown over the screen and it landed silently on the other side. Pleased, she slide the item of clothing she had chosen, over her head.
She now wore a light weight, baby blue,sleeveless summer dress. She stepped out from behind the curtain and went over to the mirror. She had to stiffle a laugh
when she saw her reflection. Her hair was sticking out at every possible angle, she had bags under her eyes, her whole face looked like it was about to
fall off her head, it was drooping so much. 'Since when did I die?, no wait I look beyond dead!, Thank Eru there are no witch Kings around, they'd
probably mistake me of one of their own!', she thought to herself laughing slightly.She picked up her brush and fought with her hair till it was relatively frizz less.
Putting down her brush, she stared to fiddle around with her drooping eyes. She pulled the skin back slightly and watched happily as the bags disappeared.
Then frowned as she let the skin go and the bags returned, worse than before.'Ah, who cares, not like anyones going to care about what I look like.
Even if they do notice me, they'll probably just run in fear'.
She snorted slightly. Seeing as how she could do nothing else to make herself look even alittle more presentable, she walked over to the the
balcony and jumped from the tree and landed silently on the mossy, forest floor.
Suprizingly there where more people than usual outside.
'Wow, what do these people do all day..sleep?' Eleniel thought.As she passed a few other elves, she would say a kind "Hello" or a "Hi". In return, they all just
ignored her and walked away,some just gave her weird glances and walked the other way.It didn't suprize her a bit, because since the death of her parents,
everyone has just ignored her, except Miressawen of course.She longed for someone to just start a decent conversation with her, possibly become her friend.
Instead of getting weird glances and people turning their backs to her.
After wandering aroung for a while, Eleniel decided to go to her favourite place....it was a field of tall green grass, that she had
liked to visit whenever she could.It was just outside the Lothlorien borders.
She never feared to go there for she knew she would be safe for there hadn't been any sightings of Orcs for a long time, also not to mention, the borders were
guarded by Rumil, Orophin, Haldir, and some of the other elves.
She smiled when she thought of the three brothers, Rumil, so playful, young and cute. Orophin, always trying to make Haldir loosen up,and Haldir...so serious
all the time.Of all the time she had seen him, he had not laughed once, while his brothers would be cracking jokes, and almost falling off their talon
balcony, he would be sitting there telling them to stop horsing around and concentrate on watching and guarding.
'Good Ol' Haldir, so arrogant and serious, if only I could change that', She thought.
Though they had never really noticed her before, she did not care...nobody really noticed her anymore. After that thought came the usual pang of self pity.
She knew it would come, because she had experienced it so many times before, but she no longer wanted to.She wanted to break free of this nightmare
of a life, and become the happy young soul she used to be before all of this happened.She remembered how she used to run through the fields without a care,
for she was free, and did not need to worry about anything.she remembered how sometimes she and her friend would sleep outside, in the long grass
and wake up stiffling screams as they found spiders on their pillows, and she remembered how that was all ruined because of her Mothers friend, wanting her to
come and visit.Eleniel clenched her fists into tight balls as she thought of the day her mother had recieved the letter from her friend, her mother was so excited,
she could remember the look on her face.Oh yes, she was excited, but for what? she was excited to DIE!?.She thought of how her father looked when his wife
hadn't returned when she should have, he had the look of worry and anxiousness .She remembered him leaving Lothlorien on his horse to go after her mother and bring
her home safely. And she remembered how she locked her heart away, after she had found out that neither of them had returned and were just classified as dead
and forgotten the next day.
She sighed heavily and made her way to the Northern border.
When she reached her favourite place, which was the wide open field, just in front of the border, she layed down in the tall grass, "I miss you mom and dad,I wish
you were here,I want to be free again.....free.....free" , She repeated the word a few times noticing how she felt locked up inside, like her heart was being held
as a prisoner.
After staring up at the star speckled sky, she started to feel tired.Before she knew it she had fallen asleep.
