Sorry I didn't post this sooner. But here it is now I hope you like it.
Chapter 2
Haldir's POV
I saw the woman running through the trees coming towards lothlorien forest.
Apparently she was being chased by something but I couldn't see past her. She held what
looked like a bundled up child in her arms. Strange that a woman would be out on a night
like this, let alone with a child. Folly humans, always doing stupid things. I drew my bow when
I saw her tumble to the grown revealing the beast not too far behind her a perfect shot or so I
thought. Six arrows I shot into its side yet it kept its pace.
This beast was on a mission. I saw the woman drop something but I was focusing on taking
down this warg. Those foul creatures disgust me, almost as much as orcs. I jumped down from
my position in the tree. Arrows weren't going to work this time. I looked over to where Orophin
and Rumil stood, swords drawn.
"What the hell? Why doesn't she get up and run?" I heard Rumil say as we sprinted towards the warg.
It was much bigger than I thought. It reached the woman before we did. I threw my dagger into
the throat of the beast as Orophin jabbed his sword into the creature's side.
One last cry came from the beast as Rumil dragged the woman from under it. I was so angry that I
didn't make it there in time. Orophin and I walked over to where the woman's lifeless body lay. I said
an elven prayer which then I remembered the child that she held. I heard leaves rustling and crying
coming from the bushes. I walked over slowly pacing my steps.
"What am I suppose to do with a human child? Should I leave it out here? I mean its not my responsibility.
Am I really that heartless?" I mentally asked myself, as we walked over to it.
"What is it Haldir?" Rumil asked.
"It's the woman's child. I saw her drop it when she fell."
Her back was facing us, I could make out her curly golden brown locks of hair in the moonlight. She
turned around realizing she wasn't alone anymore. Her tear streaked face calmed my anger for a moment.
She looked up at me then stopped crying and reached out for my hand as I scanned her for injuries. Finding
none I picked her up and was speechless. She looked nothing like her mother, fortunately because she wasn't
much to look at.
Her eyes were dark brown but turning hazel as her temper calmed. I could make out a faint light in them.
As if they were glowing, I've never seen anything like it. At the moment all of my anger fled as I was
mesmerized by the uniqueness of this child; and my guard was let down. The child yawned then laid her
head on my chest reaching up pulling some of my hair in her hand. She then looked up at me and smiled
one of those cute smiles that only a baby could give. I couldn't help but smile back, for a human she was
pretty adorable.
I reached down and picked up then blanket she was wrapped in, to cover her because the night air was
getting colder. It said, "Eámanë Dander, from your loving mother Persia." It looked as if it were made of
forest green silk with mithril lining it. There were trees that had and the night sky with one star that was
bigger and brighter then all the rest. It looked as if each star was made of mithril. It was beautiful, but how
could that woman afford a treasure such as this? She looked poor with tattered clothes.
