"I wish you had told me sooner," Emily yelled at her parents.
"We did not know who you were and where you came from so we did this in order to protect you," her mom said because she knew that Emily would require an answer.
"Protect me from what. You!" Emily screamed with rage.
"From whatever might have found out about how different you are," Her so-called dad said because he wanted her to understand how important she was to them.
Emily looked at the door because she wanted to just run away and never return.
Her 13 year old sister, Haylee, was standing in the doorway, mouth dropped, with the front door wide open. "What, the heck, IS GOING ON?" Haylee screamed surprisingly. Haylee never yelled at anyone. She was a decent person with manners and cared about Emily a lot, and Haylee was surprised because Emily never fought with their parents.
"Emily is a little bit…let's say, upset with us because, well…she's not really… your sister."
Haylee looked quite disappointed. "She's not my sister? What-Why didn't you tell me?" Haylee had always been by Emily's side and they never fought. Haylee always protected Emily and loved her dearly.
"I thought you would've been able to tell by now!" Emily screamed as she pulled some hair up to un-cover her pointed ear for about a half a second. Her parents hadn't seen it, but Haylee did. Now Haylee understood. "If you want Emily to be happy," Haylee paused. "You must let her go." Haylee's mom understood. Emily needed to find her parents, and more importantly, the mom who had gave birth to her.

"How do we seem to get in these situations," Aragorn asked his best friend Legolas Greenleaf.
"Because we seem to be the two craziest people in all of Middle Earth," Legolas replied.
During their last adventure, which had been killing orcs that had been hanging around the borders of Mirkwood forest, they had gotten themselves tied up to trees.
"Help," Aragorn called out hoping that some one was passing by and would hear him.
"Why do you call out when there is nobody hear to help us?" Legolas questioned.
Legolas knew the forest very well because it was his home. He would soon be the king of Mirkwood.
"You may not have any responsibilities yet, but you are forgetting that I am king of Gondor and I have to get back there." Aragorn yelled at the stubborn elf.
Legolas became quiet after that remark. He had not forgotten that Aragorn was king.
Legolas began to think about what it would be like when he was king of Mirkwood. He was not really ready to rule. He was also mad at Aragorn for reminding him about it.
He looked at his friend. A couple of days tied to a tree might be good for him, Legolas thought.
"I think I hear someone," Legolas said to Aragorn to make him feel confident. It was not a lie. He could really hear someone. Aragorn could not hear them because he did not have sharp hearing like Legolas did.
"Help," Aragorn called out to whatever was there.
"What's this now? A dwarf helping a man, and an elf." The dwarf emphasized on the last word as though it were a bad thing. Everyone knew how much dwarves hated elves.
"Its nice to see you Gimli," Aragorn said to the dwarf.
"It's nice to see you too," replied two other elves who had come with Gimli.
"Gimli what are you doing here," Legolas asked the dwarf. He did not think that the dwarf would come here on his own.
"I uh… just had something to give to your father from the dwarves." Gimli replied hastily. He did not want Legolas to know the real reason why he showed up.
"You were visiting weren't you," Legolas said to Gimli.
"Yes Gimli was visiting, but I do not know why Estel will not say hi to his own brothers," One of the elves said.
"Hello Elrohir," Aragorn replied to the elf, "And hi Elladan," he said to the other one standing right next to Elrohir.
"Come on lets ride back to the palace," Legolas said once Gimli had cut his bonds.
They all mounted the three horses and raced each other towards the palace, and danger.
