Note: Sorry for the long delay with this story but anyway. I need ideas so post them. Well let's begin.

Nienna looked at the retreating back from the White Wizard. She still did not trust him; but then again, she did not trust anybody right now. This was her first time outside since 400 years.

It was as if Gandalf felt her eyes upon him because he turned around and said in a friendly tone of voice to her. "Come, walk beside me, child. We will soon meet some friends of me and Legolas. You will find them very friendly."

Nienna dropped her gaze to the ground and muttered something under her breath. Gandalf exchanged a look with Legolas, who was walking beside him using Gandalf's staff as a cane

Nienna had not said a word since yesterday evening. Legolas was starting to get worried about her. He had tried to talk to her, but his voice had gave up on him this morning so all he could do was just make face and movement with his hands.

Legolas fell back a few steps to that he was walking besides her. She was still a mystery to him.

Nienna looked up to and Legolas smiled friendly at her. He knew that Gandalf wanted to talk to her but what could he do?

After a little while they had stopped for lunch and Legolas needed to rest. Even if he did not want to admit it, the Elf was still glad that Gandalf had stopped.

When Legolas had fallen into a restless slumber, Nienna came to sit besides Gandalf. The Wizard looked up and smiled at her, waiting for her to say something.

"Do you know my father?" Nienna asked him.

Gandalf had known that she would ask him that and he said. "Yes, I do know him. Do you?"

"Only what my mother told me of him, but that is all I know." She softly answered.

"Elrohir, your father, loved your mother very much. He was devastated when she died and I am quite certain that he will be very happy to get to know you and he will just be over the moon to learn that he has a daughter."

Nienna nodded and fell silence once more. Gandalf looked at her and then he said. "Not all wizards are like Saruman you know, little one. I know he has done great wrong to you, but you can trust me. I would rather kill myself then hurt one as innocent and beautiful like you."

"I am not beautiful." She answered.

Gandalf chuckled softly and said. "Yes, you are. You might think not when you look into a mirror but your soul is very beautiful. It is pure and it will stay that way. Don't look at me like that, This true. It shows in your actions, you will learn when you get older that sometimes the beauty of people is whit in and not on the outside."

Nienna smiled at him for the first time and Gandalf smiled back before he gave her a piece of bread. She accepted it and settled herself against the tree. Gandalf smiled again and knew he had earned atleast a little bit of her trust.

"Legolas, you are alive." Aragorn shouted before he hugged the Elf. Legolas grimaced before he hugged the man back.

Gimli came also and hugged the Elf, when they had all greeted Legolas; the Elf rubbed his broken ribs with his left hand.

"But how did you get out?" Gimli asked him.

Legolas only pointed to Nienna. She was standing close to Gandalf as if she was looking for protection.

Gimli smiled at her and walked up to her while saying. "Well, lassie, thank you very much for saving our Elf. My name is Gimli, son of Gloin."

"Her name is Nienna. And she was a slave from Saruman for a long time, Gimli and Aragorn. That is why she might not answer you for she does not trust us. I want to ask of you to give her time and be friendly and patient to her. She will warm up by the time." Gandalf said instead, sensing the Elf-maiden's unease.

Aragorn nodded and then said. "Don't worry, my lady. We will make sure that it does not happen again. My name is Aragorn, son of Arathorn, or you can call me Estel as they do in Rivendell."

"Rivendell? Where Elrond-Half Elven dwells?" Nienna asked.

Caught of guard, Aragorn recovered fast before he answered. 'Yes, I grew up there."

"Do you know the twin brothers Elledan and Elrohir?" Nienna asked.

Aragorn nodded again and said. "Yes, they are my foster brothers but why do you ask?"

"She asks for she is the daughter of Elrohir." Gandalf answered quietly.

"Elrohir's daughter?" Aragorn stuttered.

Nienna nodded but was still silent. Aragorn's brow furred and then he crossed the distance to hug her and he said. "Don't worry, you are safe as long as I am with you. I promise on my life that I will make sure that you meet your father, Lady Nienna."

Legolas smiled at the man and smiled at Nienna. He felt himself blush when she smiled back at him.
