Darkness had fallen, leaving nothing but moon and starlight to guide their way. While Gimli constantly grumbled about something or other, Legolas was on alert. Lisa still didn't know what to make of anything and worried about her sister. Not having Legolas' keen eyesight, she couldn't see very much. She jumped at the slightest noise, feeling foolish to turn and see her companions' completely at ease.

Legolas turned back to Lisa. " Are you alright Lisa?"

She looked at him trying to seem somewhat pleasant. " I'm fine Legolas. As long as I find my sister and there are no more uglies around."

That brought a chuckle from Legolas.

Gimli, as usual, was confused. And as usual, grumbled as much. " What a strange way you speak."

Lisa and Legolas just smiled. Why not let Gimli grumble away. Somehow, she didn't think that starting any sort of argument with him would go anywhere. They walked at a slowed pace since things seemed to be quiet for now. With all of the noise that those things had created, Lisa didn't think that they were too swift. She didn't think that they would do much of a job sneaking up on people. That, and the feeling that she was safe with Legolas, gave her some comfort. They crossed a small stream. Beautiful moonlight reflecting off of the water, bragging of its beauty. Even in this situation, with her sister missing, she began to see the absolute amaze and tranquility of this place. No sound of traffic. No loud yelling from the people off the street. No lights save the glow of nature. The stars shining down upon them. It was finally time to rest until sunrise. They chose their site to rest for the night. Gimli took his sleep by the fire, Legolas took his by a large tree, and Angel chose her place to lie alongside the stream.
It was almost magical. This place was unlike any other she had imagined. It was something like the places that were described in her storybooks as a child. A veritable fairyland. Lisa almost expected Thumbelina to come flying out of her little home in the trees. In all this beauty she couldn't help but worry about her sister. Angel could always stand on her own feet, but here? Alone? Those creatures were out to get us, she thought. Had she gotten away? Yes. She got away and is safe and sound. With her cleverness, I'm sure she found shelter. She's too damn stubborn to let anything bully her. With that comforting thought, she drifted off to sleep.

Who was this girl? Legolas wondered. Where did she come from? He believed that she was human, but wasn't exactly sure. You could tell that she was very strong willed and she also had a great heart. You could see that in how much she cares for her sister. She was very brave and he admired bravery. She would have fought like a wildcat had he and Gimli not been good.
The feelings that Legolas was having puzzled him. He had felt lust before, but this was something more. She surprised him oft many moments. She made his pulse quicken and feel his blood was ablaze. He came to the conclusion that he was merely intrigued. She was from a different place altogether. Her clothing, her manner of speak, the things that she said…She was also very beautiful…He had never met another like her. Yes, he thought. That was it. Just intrigue.
Gimli, without a thought of the other two, was soon sound asleep, snoring like a bear.
The three were unlikely travel companions to say the least. And although they are different species, and come from different places, they feel the same. They also take care of each other. Maybe Angel and Lisa aren't so out of place after all.
