NOTE: I know I haven't been updating a lot and I a sorry for those who read this. My life has been pretty boring up until today. I seem to write only when something has happened so I take my emotions out on writing....

Alisa was found that day sitting underneath a tree. Just looking up at the stars, wondering what higher power could be up there.

"Mind if I sit here," she heard Aragorn say. She looked at him, then again at the stars.

"No," she said moving over for him to also lean against the tree. They sat there for a moment in silence. "Think she is looking down at us right now."

"Alisa, god had another plan for her."

"I know, but they took her away to soon, when I need her the most. I am being raised by men. Think how I will turn out in a few years."

"I think you're turning out fine, considering it is me and Elrond raising you."

"We have no one Aragorn, no one at all."

"People like us don't have much, maybe just one person to call family. But in the end that's really all you need."

"But people not like us, have more…"

"Alisa, I have to go away for a while,"

"What, where…..why,"

"It is a mission. I am leaving in a few weeks. You will be here with Rolland and Joena." He explained.

"What kind of mission,"

"The kind where you can only call me Strider if you see me. You will be going to Rivendell in few weeks after I leave." He said.

The sun came out from under the clouds, and woke Alisa up.

"I spent the whole night out here," she said, standing up and stretching. Then she saw people running into the court yard. Some where shouting and pointing to each other. Others where pulling horses out of the stables. She ran over to the crowd but could not find anyone she knew.

Then she spotted Jonea on top of his horse talking to a ranger, he yelled to the people behind him on horses and started off.

"Jonea," she yelled and ran over to him as he stopped his horse.

"Alisa, I have to go,"

"Jonea please don't leave me," Alisa cried.

"I must go find my father, he is out in the wild, maybe dieing" he said.

"Please, Rolland is after me," she cried.

"Don't be silly, no he isn't. He just loves you a little to much." He explained then touched her cheek.

"I will be back before you know it…"

"Come back soon," she whispered, he looked at her once than started off into the wild.

After a few days of Jonea out in the wild, and Aragorn receiving letters then rushing off to read them, Alisa fell pretty bored. Yes she had friends, but now they even seemed to bore her. She knew something was coming up, something bad. She couldn't afford to lose anyone close to her, or even risk her own life. So she practiced swords fighting. Lord Elrond sons had showed her some moves, and she remembered her father talking about it.

She stood in an open field with a dull sword. She would swing it around her head as few times then started to attack the air. No one would practice with her afraid she would slip, and she was afraid that Rolland would actually hurt her.

Then she grew tired, her breathing quickened and she fell to the ground. She lay on her back watching the clouds blow by.

"You tire yourself out from battling nothing," she heard Rolland say. He stood in front of her looking down at her. Alisa rolled over and then stood up facing him.

"Yes, "she snapped. "You know what Rolland; I think we should take a break from each other."

Alisa knew right away she shouldn't have said that. His eyes burned with rage, and his face started to turn red.

"No, I am going to marry you, and become king of Gondor," he explained and grabbed her arm. "I will cut you again, and again until you understand that you will be mine."

He pulled her to the side with such force she almost fell over and pulled out his knife again.

"No, someone help me," she yelled hoping to get someone attention. Then she felt herself falling to the ground and Rolland next to her. She looked up to see Aragorn; he picked up Rolland and hit him once in the face.

"If you ever touch her again, I will kill you." He yelled. He pushed him away, and Rolland started to walk away touching his face. They watched him go until he was out of sight.

"I am so sorry Alisa, I am sorry I did not see it sooner…."
