----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a warm sunny day, and the wind blew through his blonde hair. All was quite except for the constant giggling of the two friends as they rode up to the gates of Imladris.
"I still can not believe that your ada thought that you did that!" Estel laughed.
"Well, you owe me mellon-nin, it was not fun staying in the dungeon for quite some time for the prank that you pulled on him." Legolas replied.
"Trust me, I will help you get back on anyone you want as long as you are here." Aragorn replied.
"Then your brothers are in for some pranks." Legolas laughed. Something stopped him. He saw something out of the corner of his eye. He looked at the beautifal elven maiden, standing beside a blanket in the warm sun. His heart melted. Just then four elven gentlemen walked up to her.
"Legolas!" Aragorn yelled. He noticed that his friend was not beside him and he turned around.
"SHHHHHH!"
Aragorn rode over to his friend. "What is it mellon-nin?"
"Watch." Legolas replied.
"Oh, hey Kilen, look at what Herenya has today!" One of them joked.
The elf known as Kilen grabbed the beautifally crafted stick and hit Herenya in the back with it.
She fell to the floor, but then she stood up again and tried to hit Kilen, but he hit her first in the knees and she fell once more.
"What do you want from me? Why don't you pick on someone as arragont as you?" Herenya asked.
"What did you call me?" Kilen asked.
"Arragont, rude, stubborn, foolish, and...," Herenya didn't get to finish her sentence for Kilen slapped her hard in the face with the stick. He then hit her in the arms and legs. Herenya cringed at each movement but said nothing.
"Why me?" She whispered.
"Because your different." Kilen replied while hitting her in the head.
Herenya was knocked unconcious. She knew the darkness well, she lived it.
"Come on Kilen, hit her again." One of them joked.
Kilen raised the stick...,
"STOP!" Legolas yelled. He and Aragorn walked over to the group.
"Lord, Lord, Lord Aragorn, and Prince Legolas, what a lovely surprise." Kilen said while putting the half broken stick on the ground.
"Glorfindel!" Aragorn yelled. "Bring some gaurds."
Soon Glorfindel and the gaurds arrived. "Arrest these men and bring them to ada, we will be there soon. Tell him to get the healing wing ready." Aragorn said.
Glorfindel looked down in pity at the beautifal Herenya. She had stayed in the castle for years when they found her in the woods, she had suffered a great deal due to orcs, and lost her sight while in their company. The Lord Elrond took her in and raised her as his own as he did to Estel. She was an Undomiel if there ever was one, and everyone saw her that way. "What has befallen Lady Undomiel?" He asked.
"These four invalids beat her with her walking stick, even though they knew she is a Lord's daughter." Aragorn replied while picking up his sister.
Herenya whimpered when he touched her swollen shoulder. "Shh, it will be all right." He whispered. "Your brother is here now. I won't let you go."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What has happened to my daughter?" Elrond asked.
"The four elves that are now awaiting in the dungeons beat her again." Aragorn replied.
"So they are the ones that have been doing this?" Elrond asked while continuing to heal his daughter.
"Aye Ada." Aragorn replied.
"Prince Legolas Thranduilion, I am sorry, I believe that you should meet Herenya."
"Herenya?" Legolas asked. "Who is Herenya, and why does she go by the same elven name as you?"
"She is my adopted daughter of the woods. We found her." Elrond replied while continuing to heal her.
"Oh." Was the only response out of the elven prince's mouth. "Why does she walk with the aid of a stick?"
"Her, uh, leg." Aragorn lied. He didn't want anyone to know about the blindness of his sister, especially when she didn't want anyone to know. She had told them specifically that if she had to tell anyone, then she would, but if she didn't, then she wouldn't.
"Her leg?" Legolas asked.
"Yes. When we found her, she was, uh, she had an injury that was some how fatal to her leg, she walks with a stick on occasion. When it is bothering her I mean." Aragorn replied.
Elrond shot him a glare. He didn't like to keep lies in the house. Especially among friends! He also didn't like his daughter to be hurt, especially when she had to tell some one. She was afraid of rejection. Rejection from her family, friends, or anyone.
"Well, she will be using that stick much more often now." Elrond said.
A groan was heard from the bed, and the three looked over to see the Lady Herenya waking up.
"Herenya, my daughter, how are you feeling?" Lord Elrond asked.
To be continued.
