'Those damn guards, go away already!' Lupin felt like crying, every time one guard left, another would walk around the area she was in, she could just try and run quickly away, but she didn't feel like getting shot with an arrow, which would undoubtedly hurt, and then die from blood loss or some other thing like getting shot in the heart or lung or some other important, you would die without it organ. 'I didn't encounter any guards around the tree I landed by, or on my little, run, away from Legolas, maybe I should go back that way...' She thought to herself as she got ready to flee back to where she had been her first night in this new world.

Legolas had risen with the sun that morning, despite how his body and mind urged him to go back to sleep. He dressed himself and went for a walk into a certain part of the woods surrounding Mirkwood. It was becoming a daily ritual for him to take a walk, and he knew the reason why, Lupin, no other had ever made him feel so, so, odd before. Not that odd was a bad thing, but he felt odd because he had no clue what it was that he was feeling, he had often entertained vague thoughts in his mind that it was just some kind of friendship forming between them, but it was to strong for just a simple bond of friendship. 'Maybe, it's, dare I say, love? No, it couldn't possibly be, it would never work, but, then again, Aragorn and Arwen are together and one day Aragorn will be gone. Perhaps something could work out between us.' The thought brought a small smile to his face as he headed for the small clearing before the giant tree he had first found Lupin in. But she wasn't there, no trace of her, he tried calling out her name, but no one answered, although many animals seemed to be disturbed by his yelling and ran/flew away. 'Where could she have possibly gone? Did she get lost, again?' He smiled a bit at the thought before his keen eyes saw a small piece of paper lying on the ground at the base of the tree; he walked over, picked it up, and read it. 'No, she's... Gone...' Legolas looked at the small note, his heart felt as though it was shattering in his chest, he had just accepted his feelings and she was gone? It was not supposed to end like this, it wouldn't end like this. "I will find her, I have to." He said to himself in determination, if what he felt was love, then he could not lose his precious person. He quickly started walking back to the borders of Mirkwood, he knew that somehow he would find her again, and just in time for his father's time limit, she couldn't have possibly gone far, this was one of the few places guards weren't situated because there were some to either side, and Legolas passed though them on his way to this spot, they were only around thirty feet away, if on of the guards caught her, she would be taken to the palace and he would know of her whereabouts immediately. "I will not lose her." Her muttered to himself as he made his way back to the palace, wanting nothing more than to find Lupin so that he could wrap his arms around her, kiss those delicate lips, and have her love.

(One till FM) A week later, Legolas still had not found Lupin, he had gotten fairly depressed and would not even pretend to enjoy the company of the Lady's that surrounded him, especially Tari who began to annoy him to no end, and yet, there was such little time left, only four days till he had to choose, and none suited him, none were considerate, they were reasonably polite, they had to be, it was in their upbringing, but still, he did not want someone who cared only for things like his looks, crown and place in the fellowship. He had made his way to the throne room, he had to talk his father into giving him more time, when he heard a disturbance. He quickly opened the door and was shocked at what he saw, there was Lupin, struggling to get out of the grasp of two guards, one holding back each arm. "STOP!"

Lupin had finally thought she was home free, when she found an arrow at her throat and she was dragged through the woods and to a palace. She had been doing fine on her own, her survival skills were instinctual, the wolf inside her knew how to navigate the land, and how to find food. 'Stupid elves! Let me go you basterds!' She didn't voice that thought, not really wanting to die so soon in her life, so she thrashed around until a familiar voice rung in her ears. "STOP!" Lupin stopped and stared, and stared some more, it was Legolas. 'Goody, my love life is becoming like that of a soap opera, wait a minute, what love life, just because he's totally, hot, sexy, sweet, smart, gifted and so on, doesn't mean I like him!... I just put myself into a dead end didn't I?' Lupin looked up at him, the guards weren't holding her as hard, probably because she wasn't thrashing around like a mad woman, and so, she stared some more. 'I wonder who it was that he was telling to stop.' She thought as all eyes fell on the fair haired elf.

"Sires, we found this human roaming the woods, when asked questions of why she was here she did not answer." One of the guards said. "And then, when told that she would have to be escorted to the king she became hostile." 'I'm within my legal rights to be hostile, right? Anyways, I like democracy thank you very much, leave me alone!' Once again she kept what she really, really wanted to say inside as she just glared at the various people surrounding her, eyes never wandering over to Legolas.

Meanwhile, Legolas had gone into a well deserved state of shock. 'But, I thought she went home. Could she have gotten even more lost?' He thought to himself, smiling a bit, she probably did, she seemed to have a horrible sense of direction.

"Child, what were you doing in the forests of Mirkwood?" The king asked, hands folded in front of his face as he cast a glace over at his son who had, moments before, yelled, very uncharacteristic of him.

Now Lupin wasn't really all that girly, but in a situation like this she knew there was one solution, crying, because all guys hate it and feel uncomfortable when girls cry, so she started think of a bunch of sad movie, book song, and soon enough her eyes were shining from tear. "I'm lost." She said. 'Man, these thoughts are getting a little to depressing.' She had just thought about all her friends leaving her and she committed suicide. 'Creepy..... I must have some kind of psychological issues.'

And, as predicted, all the men in the room looked extremely uncomfortable once the tears had been unleashed. 'Lupin, you are so good!'

"You will stay here for the time being, Legolas, show her to a guest room." The king said and for the first time since she entered the room, Lupin looked straight into Legolas's eyes. 'Oh goody.'

FASH: Well, there it is, want to know something special, tomorrow (in the chapter) is going to be a full moon, what'll happen to her, you'll see, not next chapter, but the chapter after that. In the meantime, Lupin's going to hear a conversation that'll make her blood boil.
