Disclaimer- I lost the case. I own nothing, except Alex, Devera, Silmar, and Mara. The song is Only Hope by Mandy Moore

Alex pulled her leg back and kicked him between the legs. The attacker took a step back, and Alex held her dagger in front of her next. "Lady Alex?" the voice asked. Alex knew that voice. "Legolas, what the heck were you doing?" Alex hissed. She looked over him. His golden hairs were damp and his bare chest held water droplets.

"Tis swimming" he answered, he stared at me, his eyes traveling down her body. 'Men' she thought.

"Well please do continue" Alex smirked, driving under and pulling on his legs. He came under water with her, glaring at her as he surfaced. Alex smirked at him and splashed him with water. "You act like a child" Legolas sniffed. "I am fifteen" Alex said. "Hardly a child" Legolas replied. "And you dress like…." Legolas trailed off. "Where I come from everyone wears them" Alex said, twirling around in the water. "You like?"

Legolas shook his head, Alex just floated along. Alex was singing softly under her breath, but Legolas could hear it clearly:

Sing to me the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing
and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again.

Alex was just floating and singing to herself. "That was beautiful Lady Alex" spoke softly. Alex came up, her dark hair sticking to her back. "My aunt would sing it to me when I was little" Alex spoke quietly. Legolas furrowed his eyebrows, "What about your mother?".

Alex looked him in the eye; her grey ones seemed to burn his soul. Her usually bright eyes were gone; they were grey ones, filled with sadness. "She dumped me on my aunt and ran away with some guy named Hector when I was four. Aunt Heather raised me". Alex said, a tear rolled down her cheek. "She didn't want me" Alex sighed, going under the water to clean her face.

"I am sorry" Legolas said when she came up. "People have said that to me my whole life. I wish it would stop. I am not someone who you say sorry to and it fixes everything. My father died before I was born. He was a soldier in the US army. My mother raised me in a one room apartment. She didn't care about me. She just brought her friend over to play poker and have a few drinks. She would have a hanger every morning. She would always yell at me when I cried. Once she threw me ouy the window when I was three. I broke both of my legs. So you have no room to say sorry because it will never help me. I don't want people's pity!" Alex yelled. She got up of the river and picked up her jacket before running to the main part of Rivendell.

She when up to her room and found her lime green backpack. She opened it and pulled on her pajama pants and a huge Raven's tee shirt. She pulled out a bottle of French white wine and a plate of chocolate covered strawberries. She poured herself a small glass of wine and ate all of the berries. Alex stared at her reflection in the mirror.

Alex gave a cry of grieve and threw the wine bottle at the mirror. Both the wine bottle and the mirror broke. The desk was littered with glass pieces and wine. Alex when into her backpack and found a pair of scissors, she fiercely began to cut her long locks.

They fell to the ground. Her hair which used to hang to her waist now was only to her shoulders. She hit her own nose. It was her mother's nose and she was going to deform it. She hated her mother, she hate her father for leaving her with her mother. She hadn't her aunt for being Miss Perfect. She hated everyone. Alex crumpled to the ground, crying.

The next morning, Estel knocked on Alex's door, he planned on teaching her again today. He knocked again and waited. He didn't hear anything. He tried the door knob, it was locked. "LEGOLAS!" he cried. Legolas came running down the hall. "What is wrong, friend?" he asked. "Alex is not answering the door and I am worried about her health. But the door is locked" Estel explained. Together the two men pushed on the door. On their fourth try, the door broke down. There on the floor was Alex, her body shaking; a wet puddle was on the ground. Estel looked over the desk where the smell of wine came from. Alex had many cuts on her hand, glass stuck in some. "Legolas, go fetch a knife and some water and a towel" Estel order.

Legolas went out and Estel placed her head on his lap. Looking over her more, cut hair lay on the floor. Her arms were covered in scratches made from some flying pieces of glass.

When Legolas came back, they began the long duty of removing all the glass. She must have paste out for she didn't wake for the next hour. Legolas pulled all the glass out and Estel held her head, cleaning her face and wiping the blood away. This is where Lord Elrond found the two of them later, both kneeling by her side. Lord Elrond gave a grim smile before heading off to find Devera.

Estel had gone to get some food as Legolas sat next to the brunette girl. She was breathing evenly now, her eyes still closed. Her hands were bandaged and she was still sleeping, but the two friends had moved her to the bed. Legolas sat in a chair nest to her.

Alex's eyes opened slowly. "Hey Greenleaf" she muttered quietly. Waking slowly, she sat up before lying down. "Remind me never to drink that much wine again" she smiled a little up at the elf. He smiled back, just as Estel came in. "He gave a sigh seeing her awake. "Alex, you cause more trouble then the twins did together" Estel sighed. At her look he explained, "They are visiting Lady Galadriel, their grandmother". She nodded slowly, before grabbing one of the trays away from Estel. The tray had tea, a piece of chicken, some fruit, and a piece of cake. "Yummy!" Alex cried before digging in. "The wine didn't seem to damage her stomach" Legolas muttered to Estel. Alex looked up and spoke with a large piece of cake in her mouth, "Hey Greenleaf, sorry about what I said yesterday! I was kinda upset" she said, sending cake flying onto the prince. "Oh…my bad" Alex said before taking a large gulp of tea. "It is forgiven Lady Alexandra" he replied quietly. Estel looked between the two and backed away, as the two held each other gaze for a moment. Legolas saw a different emotion in her eyes but could saw what it was. Alex reached out her hand and grabbed his, holding it, "Glad you're here Greenleaf" she said. She took her hand back before turning to her chicken. Legolas sighed, as she did so.
