"Gandalf," Legolas called out through the burning trees of Mirkwood forest.
He ran through the trees with the little girl next to him until he found Gandalf, who was helping to douse the flames.
"What is it Legolas?" Gandalf asked because he had heard Legolas call to him.
"I need you to come with me while I take Levilas away, and then remove her memories," Legolas replied
"You know I cant take away her memories, she is too powerfull," Gandalf shouted at Legolas.
"Remove as many as you can. I need to protect my daughter. You don't know how much she means to me," Legolas yelled at Gandalf.
You could see tears streaming down his face, which was very unusual because Legolas tried to never let anyone see him cry.
"I think it would be best if I take her alone. Your people need you need you right now," Gandalf said to a very emotional Legolas.
"Will I ever see her again?" Legolas asked. He did not want to say goodbye and then have her out of his life forever.
"You will only be able to see her again if this battle is won and Mirkwood saved," Gandalf told Legolas. "I will also make sure to do something so she ages as a human so as not to suspect anything."
With that Gandalf picked up Levilas and started towalk towards a portal, which had opened while they were talking.
"Daddy!" Levilas called out while she moved closer and closer to a portal where the destination was not known.
"Levilas!" Legolas called out before she was sucked into the portal and vanished from sight.
Legolas was still screaming the name of his long lost daughter, when he felt himself being shaken awake.
"Legolas, are you okay," he could hear Aragorn say.
"I am fine. I was just dreaming about Levilas," He replied harshly. He did not want to talk to Aragorn about the dream.
"I miss her so much. I have not been able to forget about her. The memory of her still pains me and troubles my heart. That day my heart was torn in two. I had to decide between my people and my kingdom. We won that fight and Mirkwoon lives on so why hasn't she returned."
With that Legolas lay back down and sleep overtook him.

"Emily, do you really have to leave?" Haylee said to her adopted sister. Haylee already knew that Emily had to do this. When she heard the news she hoped that it was not true. She could not sleep the night before because she kept having nightmares about her. Now she realized that this was the only way Emily would be happy.
"I need to do this, someday I will return," Emily said to her. She did not think she would return but she wanted to give Haylee some hope.
"How do I know you will find me? I may be grown up when you come back and by then you wont be able to recognize me," She said out of her fear.
"You will be wearing this," Emily said giving her sister a necklace. The necklace had a green leaf on it. There were words on the back but Emily could not understand them. "I have had it forever so I will be able to recognize it. That necklace is the only thing I had before your parents adopted me."
"I understand," Haylee replied. She went over to Emily and gave her a hug. Haylee would not let go of the person she had grown up with, because despite the reassuring words, that might be the last time she saw her.
Emily eventually managed to get away from Haylee. She walked off the front porch with her bag and walked away.
