Chapter 2: Invisible

Beinion lead Anna through the forest, avoiding all the guards on patrol. This plan worked for a while until Beinion ran into his captain, Veryan. Great, just what I need, thought Beinion.

"Beinion! How great to see you!" Veryan clapped Beinion on the back. It was then he noticed the hooded figure standing behind his soldier and friend. "And who is this?"

"Tis a Lorien elf sent by the Lady of Light with a top secret message for the king. No one is told be told of this." Beinion had said with so much authority, he even bought the lie.

"I see, then I suppose I saw nothing. Good day Beinion." Veryan bowed and left.

Beinion sighed. "That was close." He did not notice Anna sneak up behind him until it was too late.

"Thank you," she whispered.

Beinion about peed himself. "Please! DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!"

"Sorry." She smirked, "by the way, you're cute when you get all flushed."

"What?" he questioned. But she was already back on her pillage to the castle.

"Hey! Wait up!" he panted as he caught up with her. He grabbed her arm and spun her around. "What is going on, why did you say that back there?"

"I was just kidding." Anna knew very well she wasn't kidding; in fact she was very much serious.

"Alright, whatever. Shall we continue?" Beinion asked, once again leading her on a safe path home.

Anna strayed farther back than before so she could reminisce about old times. What am I doing? She thought. I daydream too much about the future and never focus on the present.

She jogged to catch back up to Beinion, once there, she fell back in step with him.

"Something wrong, princess?" he asked, turning to face her.

"No… nothing… and please Beinion, call me Anna. You know how much I hate the title."

"Almost as much as Legolas." Anna smiled. Her brother despised being royalty. It meant he couldn't join the elven army, leave the palace when he wanted, couldn't journey across Middle Earth, and he especially loathed the many councils he had to attend daily.

"He's going to be so mad to find out that I have traveled to so many places," she laughed.

"I'm sure he figured that much out. Just not the extent of where you went."

"Did they miss me? My father and Legolas?" Anna frowned and looked at the ground.

"Of course they did!" he shouted in disbelief. How can she think they didn't miss her! The king almost faded from the loss of his wife years ago mixed with his daughter's disappearance. And Legolas! He was devastated, I couldn't get him out of his room for months. "You're father sent out search parties immediately and Legolas took charge of it."

"Adar let Legolas go out with the guard?" Ana gasped.

"He knew even if he told your brother no, he would still go."

"This is true. What about you?" she prompted, "When did you join the efforts?"

"I joined as soon as I received word. Legolas is my best friend and you're his sister. You mean much to me."

Ana froze. Did he just say what I think he did? Get a grip! He only cares because Legolas is his best friend and you are his sister. He said so himself. Maybe you're right. I'm still invisible…
