I never thought that anyone would read my work.I'm so happy.thank you again =) Oh yeah, there's something that I would very much like to know. What's a Mary Sue? Why does people seem to hate it that much? Just something that my curious mind wants to know =P Oh and sorry for the short chapter.my computer has gone haywire and I lost my old file.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The sun awoke and started to ascend from behind the majestic mountains a great distance away from where the two elves were. The clouds grew pink while flowers blossomed and birds sang to welcome the dawn of another day. Legolas was already up and about, reviving the dying flame to prepare their breakfast. When everything was ready, he sat on a rock near Lalaith, gazing at her while she slept.

So lovely was she that he felt anger rose in him at the thought of anyone wanting to hurt her. He debated with himself whether he should wake her. She looked so much like an angel as she lay on the withered grass. He remembered how they danced the night before and smiled.

Then, he heard a rustle behind him. He turned around with his bow and arrow, ready to strike, as fast as lightning. But there was nothing behind him, just a long stretch of dead trees. He stood up and looked about him yet there was nothing evil that he could see. Legolas heard the faint noise nearby again and hurried toward where he thought the sound came from.

What he saw made him worried. There were fresh footprints on the damp ground and by the look of the heavy trodden road they were made by goblins. A black figure passed swiftly by. Legolas aimed and freed his arrow. Then, there was silence. He ran until he reached a clearing where there lay his arrow, untouched and harmless. Legolas blinked unbelievingly. He could swear he hit something.

Suddenly, the black figure jumped on him, pinning him to the ground. He struggled and met the face of a hideous goblin, drooling and breathing heavily. Its bulging yellow eyes were filled with hatred as its hands tightened around Legolas' neck. He kicked the monster but it seemed unaffected by the blow. He was suffocating and the goblin laughed mockingly. Legolas tried to reach his knife as his vision began to blur. He couldn't use his bow and arrow now that the goblin is so near. He just wished there weren't more of it.

Miraculously, his hand clenched the hilt of his knife. He unsheathed it and stabbed into the creature's stomach. It howled and collapsed on the ground. Legolas was able to breath again and he gasped for air. Then he realised how careless he was. He had left Lalaith all alone!
