" Valandil! You scared me half way to mandos! What exactly are you doing here!?" nienna said with her hand on her pounding heart.
" I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to scare you so nienna. The king said that he wanted his son watched over. I have been standing here all day. I thought that you knew I was here." Valandil explained
" No I didn't know you were here. And why would the king want you to guard his son? There haven't been any assassination attempts or threats that I know of." nienna said as she motioned for Valandil to move out of her way.
Valandil moved and shut the door behind her. " Not that I know of either. All I know is that I'm not to let anyone expect for Arwen, Elrond, you, the king, beraid, and Nefiath though this door without a note from him saying that they can see the prince." he said.
Nienna said nothing for a while.
"What are you thinking about so hard about?" Valandil asked.
" Nothing. I was just wondering if some one had threatened
Legolas. But anyway, I hate to cut our conservation off but I have to go get Legolas something to eat. The poor dear hasn't had breakfast or lunch today and he hardly ate anything last night." nienna said.
Valandil nodded and said, " I'll be waiting here. I don't have anything better to do."
Nienna laughed at him and started down the hallway. Instead of taking the main hallways down to the kitchens she turned down a dark and small hallway. It was a small short cut to the kitchens that few people knew about. It was kinda of scary but it was not overcrowded and hot like the other hallways were. And since Nienna hated the overcrowded hallways more than anything she always tried to take the dark hallway. It scared her sometimes but, she just tried to shrug off the feeling that someone or something was behind her just waiting to grab her.
She was about halfway down the hallway when she heard a noise. I sounded like someone moving his or her feet. Nienna stopped in her tracks and looked behind her.
No one was there.
Biting on her lower lip she turned her head to look in front of her. She never saw or heard the shadows move behind her.
Upon seeing nothing in front of her nienna started to walk again. She stopped however when she thought that it sounded like there was more than just one person. Again she looked behind her and again nothing was there but air.
Telling herself that she was just being foolish she started to walk again but more quickly than before. She broke out into a run when she couldn't shake the feeling that someone was behind her. The footsteps seemed to get louder and louder. She could now tell that she wasn't alone. The other footsteps weren't in sync with her own. Resisting the urge to scream nienna ran faster but before she could reach the end of the dark hallway something grabbed her from behind and stuffed a rough cloth in her mouth.
She tried to scream but there was a hand covering her mouth. She felt her hands being pulled behind her back and a length of rope was wrapped around her mouth to prevent the cloth from falling out. Right before she was blind folded someone jerked her around and she starred into the cold eyes. A voice said something but nienna was to frightened to comprehend it. The last thing she saw was her blindfold in front of her eyes.
