I am going to start working on making 9page chapter; it will take a while
to update.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The last we heard, le-enolas was contemplating the decision of telling the story. Whether it was good or bad. Technically she was going to die. So what to do except expectantly await Legolas's return, with the nice Dwarf Gimli! So that is exactly what she did. They had 1 more day to prepare. Not to mention 2 more days of story telling passed. The Hobbits were dragging Le-enolas to the hall to ' give her a gift'. She had a sneaking suspicion this had something to do with Merry and Pippin, Mostly Merry though. So they dragged her through the hall. When they got there Le-enolas was indeed surprised.
The Hobbits led her to a beautiful dress. Right then she froze up and stopped speaking. She nodded or shook her head but nothing more. The Hobbits had her try it on and did her hair nicely but you couldn't read an emotion on her. She had created a barrier around her that none had been known to pass. As hard as they tried they couldn't get her to talk. She did everything the Hobbits asked of her but all without speaking. They detained her there that night too. The Hobbits then brought her out and prepared her for the coming of the king.
1 day later!
It was early morning, the wee hours when most Hobbits wouldn't dream of waking. Yet Tookburough was scurrying with life! Obviously the Hobbits had woken up Le-enolas early too so they could get her ready. She was still protecting herself with that barrier. So around noon all of the Hobbits were prim and proper. They had set up watches all along the bridge. They had the greeting party out with Sam, Merry and Pippin waiting in front of the hall. They had dragged Le-enolas up but she didn't seem the same. She was standing straight with the usual grace of elves but she was changed.
All of the sudden she leaned forward slightly and spoke quietly.
"They are coming"
Was all she said.
"Really, how can you tell?" Pippin said. Then Merry smacked him.
"She an elf you idiot" He told Pippin. Pippin had a look on his face an equivalent to 'oh yeah'. Sure enough about 30 minutes later you could see little figures in the distance, black dots really. They were coming down the narrow dirt road. In about another half hour they had reached the bridge into the town. As they entered the Hobbits let up a cheer. They kept on walking to Merry, Pippin and Sam. Finally they reached the town hall and stopped in front of them. They did not need words they exchanged a silent greeting with a grievance from frodos passage. Legolas then spoke.
"My sister had run, I assume to alert you, have you seen her?"
Le-enolas then spoke from her position.
"Legolas, she has been standing before you though you're eyes be untrained to see it"
"But, Do my eyes deceive me?"
"No Legolas, You're sister is actually wearing a dress" Aragorn spoke sounding impressed. Legolas was smiling for an instant before he gave warning.
"I think maybe, you should run to change then for one of your . friends has joined us in your absence"
"Dare I ask?"
Suddenly from behind Legolas, the most arrogant obnoxious self-abiding elf stepped out. If you had watched closely you would have seen Le-enolas twitch ever so slightly in annoyance. It was Tiran. He was supposedly Le- enolas's betrothed. (A/N: Tiran is elfish for I watch) But if Le-enolas had anything to do with it, he would be dead.
"Legolas can I talk to you for a second?"
"Yes you may"
Le-enolas leaned over and quietly whispered in Legolas's ear. He just nodded. Then she continued on talking with the others. Tiran decided to join in. Somehow he figured he was an equivalent of the fellowship. He thought of himself as the king of Mirkwood. He did not like Legolas either for that very purpose. He was a tall blond, jerk. He really looked ugly but in his opinion, was beautiful.
He just jumped in to the conversations and made himself a hero. The fellowship did not like him as I have mentioned. They hated him so much Aragorn had offered Le-enolas a place to stay in Gondor to escape the arranged marriage.
"Le-enolas you are looking particularly good mellomin"
"Gimli I have not seen you since the royal ceremony!"
"Le-enolas dear, do not ignore me"
"Aragorn I am being pressed to consider your offer and how is Arwen?"
"Le-enolas!" It was then Legolas had to give him a look that immediately centered him and caused him to back down. Le-enolas breathed a sigh of relief. Legolas knew how awful arranged marriages could be. That is another reason why le-enolas had broken away from the palace. A few others were the rule that no lady should talk back in a court. You know what types of things they had to go trough. Unfortunately even if she had run away and branched off the arranged marriage had not been abolished because if they married, the king would get the land that came with Tiran simply because of blood relations. This did not sit well with Legolas, Aragorn, Gimli and le- enolas. They all looked out for each other. Even Gandalf was slightly stirred at the selfishness of the king. But king Thanduril would not have his daughter running forever. At first he sent out scouts but soon realized she had help in many places. He made her a messenger and whenever she was around, would pester her with reasoning. Now though is a time to celebrate the coming of the Fellowship!
The fellowship was led up to the great hall to eat breakfast with all of the hobbits and small talk was made. They laughed and had a great time. Tiran tried to put himself everywhere. He soon realized the Hobbits were good judges of character. He then decided to remove himself from the hobbits. He pestered the Fellowship to the breaking point. The Hobbits were smarter though and quickly learned how to keep him busy. After breakfast several Hobbit children came up to Legolas. Merry and Pippin started to chuckle a bit. The kids started in on him.
"Are you Legolas?"
"Yes"
"Do you remember when you were a squirrel?"
"No"
"Stuck in a tree"
"The fish too"
"And the spiders!"
The kids kept going and Legolas seemed more and more confused. Then a look of realization came across his face and he started to look around.
"Le-enolas. Would you please step over here for a moment?"
"Oh, Legolas I just remembered I forgot something!" With that she walked quickly out of the hall. Aragorn seemed to realize too and Gimli sat for a moment.
"Forgot to remember?" He mumbled after a moment. "Oh yes!" He said. He found his travelers bag against the wall and pulled out a letter. Then he sat back down. A few moments later when Le-enolas came back to he hall dressed normally Gimli handed her the letter.
"Its from Gingie" Was all he said. Gingie was his wife. It just so happened she and Le-enolas were friends. So Le-enolas sat down and opened the letter.
To:Le-enolas mellonomim or something
I haven't seen you in so long! I will just have to catch Gimli before he leaves! If you get this from him, I was successful. You have me writing long words now you crazy elves! Your Elvin mind will never cease to amaze me! Well, I think it is only proper for you to come visit me soon! Knowing elves I would say I would see you in about 3 years.
Anyways please visit soon! I am sure will not get this until 5 days after Gimli's arrival (you know how forgetful he is) but try to write back. I am sure the creepy things in the forest will leave soon but good luck. Oh and I have sent Raven on her way. She will find you. I told you she was too big to keep in our stable. She terrified 3 of the stable boys and they did not calm until I told them she was an elfish horse!
I will have to end this soon so good luck and come here soon! You know the place, old smaugs mountain! If you do not know the way from the Shire, take one of Bilbos old maps! I quite think I am rambling now.
Good-Bye or manries or something
Gingie
Le-enolas read the letter and could not help but laugh at her poor elfish. But how did she forget, when she folded it up and put it back she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Le-enolas, these dear Hobbit children could not help but tell me you have told them stories"
"Oh yes"
"About me"
"Really? I cannot quite remember"
"I think you remember just fine"
"No not really"
"You are in big trouble now"
"Why?"
"That was not at all nice"
"Oh no!"
Then Tiran stepped in and ruined their little game.
"Le-enolas, was he bothering you? I will protect you!"
"Why do you ruin everything?" Le-enolas said getting up and walking away to the out of doors. Legolas just glared at him and turned away. So the fellowship continued to talk to merry, pippin and Sam. They eventually got down to business. The problem with the trees. Yes something was defiantly wrong. That was not the problem though, what to do about it was. They had to scout out and find the problem. They summoned Le-enolas back.
"We must scout through the forest." Aragorn said
"Good, we have established this" Le-enolas responded
"We can tell you are a teenager"
"Great job"
"You have to stay here and guard the hobbits incase we scare whatever it is, over here"
"WHAT!"
"You heard me. Lets go"
So they left her there and started to get ready to go into the forest. Tiran ran up as they were leaving.
"Okay I am ready to go"
"No" Aragorn said
"No what?"
"You are not coming"
"Why!"
"Because last time we took you, you were so loud we couldn't find anything. Good day"
"And if I hear anything has happened to my sister, you will pay dearly" Legolas added. So they left a creepy, furious looking elf standing there. 'The point was to stop you from them' He thought. 'Well I guess you will pay dearly Legolas'. With that he got ready for the attack.
Le-enolas was bored. She could not contain the excitement she had for going into the forest. She loved every minute of it! But no, She knew it was her overprotective brother who had convinced them she was still a girl. She only liked the whole overprotective thing sometimes.
So she waited till they came back and she could tease her brother, maybe Aragorn too. Definitely Gimli.
ANYWAYS
Merry, Pippin, Gimli, Aragorn, Legolas and Gandalf crept quietly through the forest. They were tracking what they believed to be a band of orc's. From the large, grimy footprints they could pretty much tell it was Orc's they were after. The forest seemed to be overrun with them in some places and non-existent in others. It was all very confusing because they led so many places. They tracked through the thick forest and heavy underbrush all day. The sun was setting and the fellowship started to head homeward. Then in the distance they saw a band of light. As they approached they could see it was several fires set together in a camp. They started to discuss plans.
"We can attack them by he darkness of night." Gimli suggested.
"No there are too many" Aragorn countered.
"We would be able to take them at night" Legolas argued on Gimli's side.
"I think we could Aragorn" Gandalf said.
"Alright, we attack soon" Aragorn sighed defeated.
So soon as darkness fell, the fellowship melted into the underbrush. They soon were ready to attack. First Legolas sent a volley of arrows into them. All of the sudden more poured into the camp from apparently nowhere. A group of them fled the scene. Not very eager to be killed. The fellowship fought until every last Orc was down. The only ones alive were the ones that fled the camp. The fellowship surged forward eager to find them.
MEANWHILE
Le-enolas was still bored. She sat playing with an arrow for a while. Balancing it on her finger, flipping it catching it. Balance, flip, and catch. Then a small noise fell onto her ears. It got louder and louder. Until she could clearly hear the Orc cries. She warned the hobbit troops but they were too scared. She strung her bow, lifted it up and shot it towards the loudest cry. Sure enough, the Orc fell. She restrung her bow and quickly shot. Never missing. She repeated it many times until she was out of arrows. She then turned to her sword drawing it and going. She never stopped, until a huge Orc took her head on. Most of them were dead but a good 15 were left standing. Le-enolas had a disadvantage against this Orc, and he knew it. He soon used brute strength to knock the already heavy sword from her aching grasp and twisted her arm behind her.
"Very good" A familiar voice said from behind her. "Lets retreat!" It then ordered.
"Tiran?"
"Whom else would it be my lovely wife?"
"I am not your wife, nor will I ever be"
"That's what you think"
"That is what I know"
He just chuckled a bit at this.
"Take her," He said. The Orc hoisted her up on his back and just the stanch would have knocked a fully healthy warrior out. It did the same to Le- enolas.
Meanwhile
The fellowship reached Took borough quickly. When they got there all that was left was dead Orcs. Arrows were scattered about and Legolas quickly gathered as many as he could.
"What happened?" Aragorn asked the Hobbit captain.
"The Orcs attacked us, we had little defense. The Elf saved most of us. None died and few were injured."
"And my sister?" Legolas asked.
"She was taken"
"By whom!"
"An Orc and some cloaked figure"
Legolas knew who it was immediately.
"He will pay for this!" "Tiran?" Aragorn confirmed. Legolas nodded. "We must get tracking right away!" Aragorn said. "Get me your best trackers and send them here in 1 hour"
"Yes sir" The hobbit said and scurried off.
1 hour later
A group of Hobbits were assembled before Aragorn. They went to pass through the forest and were about to leave. The minute Aragorn stepped foot into the forest, a branch fell before him. Stopping him.
"Legolas?" Aragorn questioned. He listened for a moment ad turned to Aragorn.
"They want to know what right of passage we have"
"Tell them we are friends"
"You can tell them too"
"Ill do it" Pippin volunteered.
"It's a bit scary the first time." He cleared his throat and began.
"Friends in the forest, we are not here to cut your branched nor fell your boughs. Our friend was taken in here with a group of Orcs. We come in search of her, an elf. You probably would have known her for she comes through here many times a season. We only want passage through and any Aid you can give us. Thank you"
The forests mood lightened a little and a path suddenly came in to view. The trees started to groan and speak in their own language. Aragorn looked at Legolas again.
"They know she is my sister. They will give us a path to the Orcs. They are trying to trick them now but the Orcs are swift."
"Lets go" Aragorn said and they flew down the path.
Many hours later.
The forest grew thick and many times the Hobbits got stuck. Gimli was having a hard time not using his axe.
"Dratted trees" He kept muttering. They finally came to the brilliant conclusion Gimli doesn't like trees. After they passed another thick wall of branches it became a little clearer. Suddenly an Ent came into view. Now it is disturbing to see ant Ent at any time. But to see this one show up was particularly disturbing. It was pretty quick for an Ent.
"Word of your troubles were sent fast and I was sent here to assist you. My name is Leafroot"
"Who has sent you?" Gandalf questioned.
"Treebeard"
'You must give him my consent when this is over" Gandalf said.
"It wont be over quickly so I suggest we go find your elf."
"That would be most wise"
So they headed out now with directions from the Ent and a vial full of potion. They did not know what it was for but the Ent said use it in bad situations. They headed off again. They did not reach the forest end quickly for it takes many days. They had to stop for the hobbits to rest for they were not used to such travels. They had to thin out the proportions and the hobbits did not like this at all. They tried to eat more but Merry and Pippin understood the consequences of eat now, think about it later. So they stopped them.
They woke up early the next morning and quickly prepared themselves. Breakfast was made quickly with not many things and they continued. They had to stop for luncheon because the hobbits were 'dying' apparently. Merry, Pippin and Sam could survive only 2 meals a day but it is a hard transition to make. The hobbits that were with them were slowing them down a lot. Aragorn and Legolas did not know what to do, and then Gandalf suggested sending them back. So they did. They sent them back with a small food supply and wished them best of luck.
The rest of the fellowship went on. Sam was a bit disappointed he could not cook but quickly got over it. They were covering much more ground now and it was looking pretty good for them. Until that one fateful day.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The last we heard, le-enolas was contemplating the decision of telling the story. Whether it was good or bad. Technically she was going to die. So what to do except expectantly await Legolas's return, with the nice Dwarf Gimli! So that is exactly what she did. They had 1 more day to prepare.

The Hobbits led her to a beautiful dress. Right then she froze up and stopped speaking. She nodded or shook her head but nothing more. The Hobbits had her try it on and did her hair nicely but you couldn't read an emotion on her. She had created a barrier around her that none had been known to pass. As hard as they tried they couldn't get her to talk. She did everything the Hobbits asked of her but all without speaking. They detained her there that night too. The Hobbits then brought her out and prepared her for the coming of the king.

It was early morning, the wee hours when most Hobbits wouldn't dream of waking. Yet Tookburough was scurrying with life! Obviously the Hobbits had woken up Le-enolas early too so they could get her ready. She was still protecting herself with that barrier. So around noon all of the Hobbits were prim and proper. They had set up watches all along the bridge. They had the greeting party out with Sam, Merry and Pippin waiting in front of the hall. They had dragged Le-enolas up but she didn't seem the same. She was standing straight with the usual grace of elves but she was changed.

"She an elf you idiot" He told Pippin. Pippin had a look on his face an equivalent to 'oh yeah'. Sure enough about 30 minutes later you could see little figures in the distance, black dots really. They were coming down the narrow dirt road. In about another half hour they had reached the bridge into the town. As they entered the Hobbits let up a cheer. They kept on walking to Merry, Pippin and Sam. Finally they reached the town hall and stopped in front of them. They did not need words they exchanged a silent greeting with a grievance from frodos passage. Legolas then spoke.
"My sister had run, I assume to alert you, have you seen her?"
Le-enolas then spoke from her position.
"Legolas, she has been standing before you though you're eyes be untrained to see it"
"But, Do my eyes deceive me?"

Somehow he figured he was an equivalent of the fellowship. He thought of himself as the king of Mirkwood. He did not like Legolas either for that very purpose. He was a tall blond, jerk. He really looked ugly but in his opinion, was beautiful.
He just jumped in to the conversations and made himself a hero. The fellowship did not like him as I have mentioned. They hated him so much Aragorn had offered Le-enolas a place to stay in Gondor to escape the arranged marriage.
"Le-enolas you are looking particularly good mellomin"
"Gimli I have not seen you since the royal ceremony!"
"Le-enolas dear, do not ignore me"
"Aragorn I am being pressed to consider your offer and how is Arwen?"
"Le-enolas!" It was then Legolas had to give him a look that immediately centered him and caused him to back down. Le-enolas breathed a sigh of relief. Legolas knew how awful arranged marriages could be. That is another reason why le-enolas had broken away from the palace. A few others were the rule that no lady should talk back in a court. You know what types of things they had to go trough.

This did not sit well with Legolas, Aragorn, Gimli and le- enolas. They all looked out for each other. Even Gandalf was slightly stirred at the selfishness of the king. But king Thanduril would not have his daughter running forever. At first he sent out scouts but soon realized she had help in many places. He made her a messenger and whenever she was around, would pester her with reasoning. Now though is a time to celebrate the coming of the Fellowship!
The fellowship was led up to the great hall to eat breakfast with all of the hobbits and small talk was made. They laughed and had a great time. Tiran tried to put himself everywhere. He soon realized the Hobbits were good judges of character. He then decided to remove himself from the hobbits. He pestered the Fellowship to the breaking point. The Hobbits were smarter though and quickly learned how to keep him busy. After breakfast several Hobbit children came up to Legolas. Merry and Pippin started to chuckle a bit. The kids started in on him.
"Are you Legolas?"

"Do you remember when you were a squirrel?"

"Dratted trees" He kept muttering. They finally came to the brilliant conclusion Gimli doesn't like trees. After they passed another thick wall of branches it became a little clearer. Suddenly an Ent came into view. Now it is disturbing to see ant Ent at any time. But to see this one show up was particularly disturbing. It was pretty quick for an Ent.
"Word of your troubles were sent fast and I was sent here to assist you. My name is Leafroot"
"Who has sent you?" Gandalf questioned.
"Treebeard"
'You must give him my consent when this is over" Gandalf said.
"It wont be over quickly so I suggest we go find your elf."
"That would be most wise"
So they headed out now with directions from the Ent and a vial full of potion. They did not know what it was for but the Ent said use it in bad situations. They headed off again. They did not reach the forest end quickly for it takes many days. They had to stop for the hobbits to rest for they were not used to such travels. They had to thin out the proportions and the hobbits did not like this at all. They tried to eat more but Merry and Pippin understood the consequences of eat now, think about it later. So they stopped them.
They woke up early the next morning and quickly prepared themselves. Breakfast was made quickly with not many things and they continued. They had to stop for luncheon because the hobbits were 'dying' apparently. Merry, Pippin and Sam could survive only 2 meals a day but it is a hard transition to make. The hobbits that were with them were slowing them down a lot. Aragorn and Legolas did not know what to do, and then Gandalf suggested sending them back. So they did. They sent them back with a small food supply and wished them best of luck.
The rest of the fellowship went on. Sam was a bit disappointed he could not cook but quickly got over it. They were covering much more ground now and it was looking pretty good for them. Until that one fateful day.
