Arariel woke to a bruised and sore body. She felt as though she had been dragged across Emyn Muil a thousand times over. She opened her eyes and found herself in a talan. She had no idea where, but it looked strangely like Lorien. How could she be here? If she was, someone would have noticed her arrival.

"I trust you slept well m'lady?" came a voice.

"Dimnar?" she asked, her voice cracking, "Where am I?"

"You are in the very outskirts of Lorien"

Arariel sat up, her head spinning. When it cleared, she remembered what had happened.

"What did you do to Arwen?" she cried.

"I did nothing to her." He said innocently, "It is not Arwen that I want"

"You will never have me!" she cried as she got up to leave, but slumped back down, because her head was spinning so fast.

"I get what I want 'Lady' Arariel" he said softly, as he moved to sit next to her. Arariel shifted so she was closer to the edge of the talan. He reached out and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. She made to slap his hand away, but he grabbed it with his other hand in a vice like grip. In a flash, he had her pinned to the floor. She screamed.

"Now, we can't have you doing that, can we?" he said, binding her hands and gagging her.

"Now, we are going to have a little fun"

"Where could they have gone?" asked Legolas in desperation.

"I have no clue, but we need to start somewhere" answered Aragorn.

"He may have taken her to Lorien..." said Arwen, from the bed, "He always wanted himself and Arariel to live there. But that was right before Arariel broke up with him."

"Right, well we'll start there. Legolas and I will leave immediately," said Aragorn.

They made their way down to the stables to get Arod and Brego.

A scream pierced the silence of Lothlorien Forest. Arariel had worked herself free of the binding that Dimnar had put in her mouth.

"Now, now m'lady. Don't be like that. I only want a little fun"

"Legolas and Aragorn will be coming for me any minute now, and you will regret the day you ever kidnapped me and bound the Queen."

Dimnar pushed her roughly against the wall of the talan. He worked her dress up wards, until he found her undergarments. She could not stop him as her hands were bound behind her back. Giving up on getting her dress off neatly, he tore her dress down the middle, exposing her undergarments. He tore these off too, leaving her naked, and cold.

"Ooh, a bit cold, hmm?" he said, playing with her erect nipples.

She squirmed, trying to get away. But he shoved her back upwards, scraping her back against the floor. She kicked out, aiming for his lower region, but missed and instead kicked the air. It was then that she realized that he too, was naked and very much aroused. She suddenly realized that he was in fact going to rape her. He wasn't threatening her.

He roughly pushed her legs open, exposing her core to him. Reaching down, he felt the inside of her.

"MMMMM!"

Arariel made to close her legs, but he yanked them open again.

"You will make love to me!" he roared.

He pushed himself against her. In an instant, she felt him inside her. She screamed. The pain pulsated through her body like a hot iron poker. He began thrusting, grunting with each one.

"STOP YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!" roared Legolas, as he climbed up the ladder, Aragorn behind him.

Legolas kicked out, sending Dimnar to the other side of the talan. In a second Legolas had pinned him to the ground, and spat in his face. Rage swam through the elf's veins. His face twisting into malicious hatred.

"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" roared Legolas, slamming Dimnar's head into the talan floor.

Legolas got off him.

"Get up" he spat.

Dimnar did not move, but emitted only a whimper.

"GET UP!"

Dimnar slowly rose to his feet. Legolas' bow was already loaded with an arrow and was pulled back, ready to fire.

"Wait!" said Aragorn, from the floor behind him, where he was making sure Arariel was okay. "I will bind his hands"

Aragorn went to him and bound his hands, and shoved him back down to the ground.

"Never again will you come near me or Arariel" whispered Legolas, as he released the arrow. Dimnar's body fell back, and landed with a thud in the grass below.

Legolas ran over to Arariel and held her in his arms.

"Shh..." he said as he rocked her gently, "It will be alright"

Legolas tore a piece of material from her dress and soaked it in the water from Aragorn's hip flask. Tenderly he cleaned her wounds. He scooped her up, in her torn dress and carried her down the ladder to the where the horses were waiting.
