A/N: No new reviews! It's like you don't care! *sniff* it might be because
FF.net is being weird and not letting me upload the chapter. *glares at
internet button* I swear I'll murder those people if they don't fix it!
*lol* I'll try at school tomorrow morning (
Chapter Four: Retelling the Past
"Ada!" cried Fanya, throwing her arms around the elf who stood in front of her.
"Fanya.I've missed you so much." whispered Linque, gently caressing her back reassuringly.
They walked inside and Linque poured a bottle of wine into two goblets and handed one to her. "Fanya, why did you come? You know that I could not take you from...her." he finally was able to spit out the last word.
"Uma, Ada, but I could not stay with Atar any longer. It was just too cruel living there! I couldn't bear it any longer!" She said, longingly.
"Tell me about it then. Get it off your chest." Her father told her. "From when I left you until now,"
"Well, after you left Gondor, Atar and that wretched person I was forced to call Adar seemed to think that because you had tried to take me, that I did not belong in their house. Before, I had seemed at least a child to them, afterward, I was more of a...maid. I lived serving them, while my mother kept having children." Her father's eyes seemed to flicker at this. Whatever had been there was gone in an instant. Fanya continued. "Pretty soon, we had a huge family, and I was the servant in which was expected to do everything. Clean, cook, wash, shop, take my brothers and sisters everywhere, do everything for them. Only one of my sisters understood me. That was the youngest sibling, Ana. Though she was only two and a half, she knew that Atar and... father and I didn't get along. She didn't care. She loved me like I was her mother, perhaps because Atar was always doing other things. Finally, one day, I cracked. I spoke elvish to my stepfather, which was never allowed, and Atar told me off about it. I shouted at her, and left. I took Morion and some of my belongings and left for here. It took me a fortnight. Halfway here, I met an elf. I do not know his name. He seemed very...bold. He told me outright that I was a beautiful maiden, without even knowing my name! I was just a bit creeped out, so I jumped back on Morion and took off. We raced for a day and a half, until we were out of the nearest human village near here. No sooner than we had stopped to rest, I had Morion galloping, because this elf was so persistent! It was as if he had been sent by Sauron to annoy me to the point of demise. But I took off without him, and I didn't see him at all during the remainder of the journey...luckily."
She finished her tale. Her father looked at her with soft brown eyes. He whispered, "I'm sorry... Sorry for leaving you with the wretched woman I used to call melamin. Sorry for not being there for you when you needed me... Just so sorry..." A tear leaked down her father's cheek. She knew what he was going through, he was wishing that it had never happened... that Fanya had never been born of her human mother, that she would have grown up in Mirkwood along with all of the other elves, a normal girl.
Fanya scooted over on the couch that they were both sitting on, and embraced her father. His words were echoing in her head. "Just so sorry...Sorry for not being there..." Soon, she was reminiscing about all the times her stepfather had beaten her, all the times her drunken mother had yelled, when her siblings wouldn't pay attention to her... She didn't want to remember these times, but they came back to her as she was leaning against her father.
She was ready for a new life. One that she would not remember the pain of the past... one that she would love.
