As Helena watched the Elf, she only wished that he would talk to her. She began following the group of Elves, when they suddenly stopped. Helena stopped, knowing that they had heard her steps right behind them. Two of the advisors turned around and saw Helena. Then, the other two turned, and finally, Legolas turned around and saw the woman. She bowed slightly, and curtsied.

"Milord, I know that you do not know who I am, but I bid you welcome to Imladris."

"Milady, thank you for your welcome. Are you going to see Lord Elrond?" Legolas questioned the woman in front of him and his advisors.

"Yes, I am on my way. Do you happen to know the way to his Library?" She questioned.

"Yes, would you like us to accompany you?"

"Yes, please."

"Come, we shall take you there."

Legolas was in front of the group, and Helena was in-between the advisors. She felt somewhat intimidated by the Elves, but she would not show it. Legolas looked back and saw that the woman was slightly uncomfortable by being surrounded by all the advisors. He stopped.

"Thank you my friends, but I do bid you that the woman is slightly uncomfortable, with you all around her. Would you please give her a little more room for her not to be so intimidated."

"Yes, milord. Would you like us to be in lines of two?" One of the advisors questioned.

"Yes, it would be better for her to be more comfortable."

"Yes, milord."

Helena the whole time, was looking at Legolas, and she saw how wonderful the Elvish came from his lips. She suddenly started have fantasies of how it would feel to have him kiss her. She shook the thoughts out of her mind, and began to walk as the group began to leave.

Legolas kept walking and was wondering if she was feeling comfortable, or she was still uncomfortable. He asked the group to continue walking as he stopped to talk to the woman. As they walked together, he asked,

"Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

"No, I am fine, but thank you for the space, I was getting slight claustrophobic."

"What does that mean?" He asked her.

"What? Claustrophobia?"

"Yes. I have never heard of that word. Is it from your homeland?"

"Yes. The word means 'afraid of closed spaces', so that would suggest the fact that your advisors were making me feel afraid of being closed up."

"They would never do such a thing, I trust them, as does my father."

"Lord Thranduil, I am presuming?"

"Yes, but, how do you know who my father is? Who are you?" He said slightly upset.

"I'm sorry. I know more than I am supposed to. I know what is about to happen. I know why you have come here. You come to tell Lord Elrond about the disappearance of the creature Gollum from the Misty Mountains. You are also know as Legolas of the Woodland Realm, or better known as Mirkwood. You are the heir to the throne. Legolas Greenleaf, Prince of Mirkwood."

Legolas was shocked at how much she knew of him. He stopped right in front of her. He wanted to know who she was when Lord Elrond appeared.

"The creature has escaped. Where has he gone, Legolas?" Lord Elrond questioned the prince.

"Milord, we came to advise you of the disappearance, but it looks as though you have a spy on your hands. This woman here knows about me, more than anyone that I have known. Who is she, and where does she come from?"

Helena knew that from the sound and the way Legolas grabbed her arm that she was in trouble with him. She looked sadly at Lord Elrond, and he looked at her and then at Legolas.

"She is from a different world. She is from the place that they call, Earth. This place is nothing compared to Middle Earth. She said that in this place, there is a story called, 'The Lord of the Rings' and that it is based on what is going to occur between all of us tomorrow morn."

Legolas let his grip on Helena loosen. She looked at him with sorry eyes. She then looked at Lord Elrond.

"I must be such a nuisance to know about what is going to happen, but this I know, we must not lose faith on the ring-barer."

"She is right. Whomever is appointed with the task, will not be able to fail, we must do this, for the better of Middle Earth."

"Lord Elrond, Prince Legolas, I will be taking my leave, I am somewhat fatigued, and I wish to rest in my chamber. Forgive me, but I will take my leave."

As she was leaving Legolas voice stopped her.

"Milady, what is your name. You know of my name, but I do not know yours. What is it?"

She walked back to him with a small smile on her face. She was slightly blushing, but she held her own.

"My name is Helena, Milord. Goodnight."

Her thoughts when walking towards him were: "At last, He asked me for my name, I was about time that that elf asked." She laughed slightly and went into her chambers to bathe, and go to sleep.

The next morning

As Lord Elrond was talking, Helena's mind kept wondering to Legolas, she was wondering if he liked her, but it was too soon to tell. On the other hand, she knew that Legolas could have any elven maiden that he wanted, so why would he be interested in a Mortal like herself. She looked down at her hands and saw how small they were.

Legolas looked at her, and saw that she was very sad. It seemed like she was fussing over something, but she was still fussing a lot and was not listening to Elrond. When she looked up, he could she that she had shed a few tears. Suddenly, the sound of Gandalf, and the voice of Sauron was heard. He closed his eyes and prayed that the voice would leave. He then opened his eyes to see Helena gone, and everyone still there.

Helena had to leave if not, she would faint, she knew that the Sauron would be too powerful to hear. She then heard that Elrond was looking for someone to take it. She looked at Frodo from behind a pillar as she began to cry. She knew he would do the task, but she knew that I would take his life. She heard Aragorn say he would go. Then, the voice of the one that she did not want hear. Legolas

"And you have my bow."

Gimli then said what he would do, Boromir, and finally the other 3 hobbits. She needed to help them out. She went to the concoil, and kneeled in front of Frodo.

"I am going to help you achieve this goal, Frodo. This quest may take the life I have, but it will be for the best cause ever, I helped a small hobbit achieve something that I personally would be to afraid to do. With my knowledge of what is to come, I shall help you with that."

The all looked at her with worry, and also desperation as to why she was subjecting herself to such a journey. Legolas was worried about what she had said, about losing her life to protect Frodo. He swore a secret oath to himself, that he would not let any harm come to the young woman. He had too, and for some reason, he wanted her to stay protected, by not just the group, but mainly by himself.

Helena looked at Legolas, and she saw him smile at her. They all broke apart. While she was walking to the garden, she heard light footfalls. She turned around to see Legolas following her.

"Why are you following me?" She questioned him.

"Is it bad to follow a mortal woman to where she may go?"

"No, but if you wanted to come with me, you could have just asked where I was going, and I would have gladly accepted you to come with me. So, Milord, would you like to accompany me to one of the very beautiful gardens here in Imladris?"

"Nothing would give me greater pleasure."

At the garden

Helena and Legolas were walking side by side, when she reached for his arm to stop. Legolas looked curiously at Helena, and saw that she was looking at the sun set. He could not stop himself, but as he was watching the beautiful sunset, something more beautiful, and enchanting than the sunset, and everything around him. Helena was looking at the sunset with her beautiful blue-green eyes switching colors. She looked down and remembered the sunsets back home. One lone tear feel from her cheek onto the floor. Legolas saw what happened and slightly pulled her body closer to his. She looked up at him, and put her arms around his waist, as he put his hands on her shoulders. Her head stayed on his chest as a few tears began to fall.

"You miss them, don't you?" He questioned.

"Yes, terribly." Her quivering voice came out.

"Come, it will be getting late soon. I must take you back to your chambers."

"No, let me stay here, and rest. I just need to take this in."

"Then I shall stay with you until you want to leave."

"Do not worry, if some crazed man comes and tries to do something to me, that will be okay, I can defend myself."

She sat down on the grass as Legolas stayed standing.

"No crazed man will come near you as long as I am here to protect you. If you would like it of me, I will leave, but I can not leave you alone. I feel that something will happen to you. Don't let me leave you, not right now. Later."

"Legolas, what do you mean?"

"This…". With that, Legolas sat down besides her, and kissed her.
