"I'm going to Bree with Legolas, we promise to be back for the party. Love Nia" Tara read loud
Tara mumbled something and ran off down the hall.
Mera had to be informed. Right now!
However, she didn't know where to find her. She was somewhere in Mirkwood, but Tara had no clue where. Hopefully, she was close.
Suddenly, someone grabbed Tara and pulled her into a dark room. A candle was the only light.
They let go and shoved Tara into a chair.
Their long purple velvet cloak flew out behind them as they ran over to a desk in the corner.
"Talk." Mera hissed and pushed the hood of her cloak off her head
Tara was a bit surprised. Well, she did want to find Mera and she did find her.
Or Mera found her rather.
"I'm waiting!" Mera exclaimed when Tara didn't answer right away
Tara sighed. How did Mera find out something was wrong anyway?
"TARA! I'm not going to ask you again!" Mera yelled
"Nia found the vial…and the note you left me. She and Legolas are on their way to…Bree." Tara informed knowing she was in huge trouble
"WHAT!? HOW COULD YOU LET HER FIND OUT!?" Mera screamed
Tara sighed and shook her head.
Mera slammed her hands down and let her head fall to the desk, her long blond locks fell around her face, "I suppose it's my fault. Emmenna was going to kill you after you were caught listing to out plan. I felt bad for you and told her not to." Mera turned and glared at Tara, "I should have let her."
Tara didn't say anything. She was trying not to cry. Trying and failing.
Mera didn't bother to mention the Legolas saw her at breakfast earlier.
"Well, little sister, what do you have to say for yourself?" Mera asked
"I…I'm s-so sorry Mera. I didn't want her to find out!" Tara said crying
Mera narrowed her eyes, "In this case, sorry ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH!" She sighed screaming would help anything, "Fine Tara. You have messed up everything else you can't possibly mess this up…I want you to go to Bree and tell Emmenna what you did. If she kills you right then, it is your own fault! She should know what to do. I would go, but as much as I hate to admit it, you are the faster rider. You have to get there before Legolas and Nia."
Tara nodded and got up to leave.
"Oh and Tara?" Mera called sweetly
Tara stopped and turned to face her sister.
"This is your last chance." Mera said evilly
Tara sighed and quickly left. What on Middle Earth had happened to her sister?
After their parents died, Mera left Mirkwood and had supposedly been staying in Bree. So far no one in Mirkwood knew that Mera had returned except for Tara. She knew something wasn't right with her sister since she came back and Tara was determined to find out what.
That's how she got into this mess in the first place.
One on the ladies in Mirkwood took care of Tara and loved her like a daughter. No one, except possibly Thranduil, knew that Tara wasn't her real daughter.
All of this happened a long time ago when Legolas and Nia were to little to remember. Tara hardly remembered.
What Mera did in Bree was anyone's guess. How or where she lived was a mystery of its own that she would tell no one.
Tara wondered about this, she wondered how Mera met up with this Emmenna anyway. Tara wasn't looking forward to seeing her…Again.
She missed her parents terribly.
This brings up the question of how her parents died.
I do believe they were poisoned.
Mera frowned as she watched her sister ride off. She never thought about the about the dangers of sending Tara to Bree. Didn't think, or didn't care. Didn't care most likely. She use to care for Tara, she truly did. However, since her parents died things changed.
Bree had changed her. So did Emmenna. Mera also realized that she was not the involved with until it was too late. Mera knew very little about Emmenna and even less about what they planed to steal.
When Mera left for Bree, she would have been considered a teenager by elven standards. Emmenna was a bit older and had a small cottage in town.
They met in quite an abrupt way, but that's another story.
Someone is going to die at Elrond's party. The question is, who?
Oooh, who will die? I know!
Hehehe, yes I know, sorry it was so short, I hope the next chapter will be longer.
