Shadowfaux's hooves stomped themselves into the ground as Samara pushed him to go faster. Men in black cloaks riding brooms were right on her tail. It was only moments ago when they appeared from nowhere. one flew up to her side and readied his wand for an attack but fell short when Samara punched his face. An arrow whizzed suddenly by her head. "Legolas!!! How many times must i say watch it?!?" she screamed back at him. "Well i am sorry that i am trying to save you twos arses!" he screamed back saracastically. Samara gaped at him then yelled, "Don't you curse at me!!".
"I don't think this is the time to be arguing!!"
This time it was Canis who had yelled. The two looked at each other, he had a point. "Cruico!" The curse knocked Samara off Shadowfaux. The horse reared up frightened for it's master. One of the cloaked men jumped off their broom seizing her immediantly. A wand was practically shoved under her chin. "Come with us boy and we won't hurt the girl!" The man spat at Canis. Something glistened suddenly under the sunlight. The cloaked clad men looked at Samara. The man holding her picked up the necklace off her chest. "Hm. We might have some use for you afterall," he whispered in her ear inspecting the necklace in the sunlight. "Get your hands off of her!"
The man's gaze snapped up to Legolas who had his arrow nocked aiming at his head. "You better be sure of your aim," the man said bring Samara a bit more infront of him, "it would be a shame to accidently hit her." The wand once again was shoved under her chin. Legolas smirked knowingly aiming his bow again.
"Well it's a good thing I never miss then."
The arrow flew throught the air hitting the cloaked man causing him to fall back lifeless. Samara looked around her frightened seeing the men circle them. Legolas grabbed her arm gently pulling her behind him. "Give us the girl!" One of them yelled yanking the hood off his head revealing his platinum blonde hair and his slightly purple bruised eye. "Why do all of a sudden want her, Malfoy?" Canis asked appearing by her side. He chuckled flipping some of his blonde hair over his shoulder. "She has something Lord Voldemort wants and he'll do anything to get it. Now hand her over," Malfoy demanded. "Over my dead body," Legolas said nocking another arrow.
"That can be arranged. Avada Kadavra!"
"No!" Samara screamed as Legolas was hit with the curse square in the chest. Her knees buckled as she fell by his lifeless body. Tears collected in her eyes rolling down her cheeks. "Do we have to say it again give us the girl," Malfoy said again. Samara sent a heated glare at him standing up quickly. A wave of dizziness punished her for making her body stand up too quickly. Canis grabbed her elbows to steady her. Hoof beats sounded suddenly making the pair look to where they were coming from. A crack was heard and the cloaked men disappeared.
"Lady Samara! Lord Elrond is worried sick and-"
The warrior stopped seeing Legolas and Samara's tear streaked face. His gaze traveled to Canis. "Was it him?" he spat glaring at Canis. "No Argent it wasn't. It-It was someone else," Samara said her voice cracking as more tears fell. The warrior nodded slowly letting the word sink in. "Mi' Lady, come and we'll take you home," Argent said gently taking Samara's wrist and leading her to Shadowfaux. "I am perfectly fine, Argent! I am not a child! There is no need to treat me as such," Samara snapped suddenly shocking both Canis and Argent. She yanked her wrist out of his clutches and angrily got on Shadowfuax. "Are you coming, Canis?" she asked coldly not bothering looking at him. Canis nodded nervously and got on the horse behind her. The two other warriors loaded Legolas onto his horse and then they began their silent journey back to Rivendale.
"Samara!" Elrond screamed. The group unmounted from their horses and faced him. "I do not wish to speak of it now, grandfather," Samara said her voice cracking ever so slightly. Elrond saw his granddaughter's tear streaked face and the men lowering Legolas body off the horse.
"Samara I-"
"I do not need your sympathy!" Samara snapped before her grandfather could finish. Elrond sighed and looked behind her seeing Canis. "Who is he, Samara," Elrond said in such a angry tone. "Grandfather I can explain-" Samara began trying to protect Canis from the blow Canis was about to recieve. "You brought one ofthem here," Elrond spat his face turning red with the rage building inside of him, "You have doomed us all Samara!"
"No you have Lord Elrond !" Samara yelled in his face, "Can't you see, grandfather? Seperating us from the wizarding world isn't helping us! It's destorying us! We could've been protected from these things by the wizards! Legolas would have been prepared and he wouldn't be d-dead!" Elrond looked shocked at her never had she talked to him like that. Tears welled into Samara's eyes once more and she let them fall freely down her face. "Nevermind, grandfather, it doesn't look like you comprehend anyway. We'll let the council decide actions," Samara gazed at her grandfather one last time and walked off Canis following close behind. Elrond walked up to Argent, who stood shocked at the sight, and whispered harshley to him, "Watch him!" Argent nodded to the command and bowed as Elrond stalked away.
"What is wrong, mil' lady?" the younge maid asked. "Nothing that I wish to talk about now, Lia," Samara said. "Canis this is Lia," Samara said introducing the maid, "Lia would you please lead Canis to the spare room?" Lia nodded and bowed. "Yes mil'lady. Please, sir follow me." Canis complied and followed.
Once the door had closed Samara let out the breath she never knew she was holding and sat on the stone bench. Her thoughts drifted to Legolas, her loyal companion. She couldn't believe he was dead. It seemed like only yesterday she had met him for the first time.
A younge elfling sat crying on the riverbank. Her head burried into her knees. A hand suddenly put itself on her shoulder causing her to jump by it's sudden presence. She turned seeing it belonged to a bright blonde teen. He smiled kindly and sat beside her. "Why are you crying?" he asked blankly looking at the water before him. "My mother d-died," She said her voice cracking slightly. "Oh I'm sorry," he said guilty for asking such a question. "Don't be it's not like it was your fault anyway."
The boy looked at her and smiled once more. "I'm Legolas son of Thranduil," he said sticking his hand out to her. "I am Samara daughter of G- I mean Caradhras," she answered shaking his hand. Legolas looked at her curiously but shook it off and suddenly tapped her shoulder. "Tag your it!" he said running off. "Hey you cheated!" she yelled smiling then running after her new friend.
Tears leaked out of her eyes as she remebered the memory. He was like the brother she never had but always wanted. She confided everything in him and he to her.
"What is wrong, my child?"
Samara jumped at the sudden voice and turned seeing her father. "Legolas is d-dead, father," she said solemnly as tears welled in her eyes once more. "Oh my child," Caradhras said wrapping his arms around her. "He promised, father," She mumbled into his shoulder, "He promised he'd never leave me!" He petted her brown hair. "I know, child. I know," he whispered and kissed the top of her head.
Many elves stood on the riverbank clad in black watching as the younge prince of Mirkwood float away with the current. Samara was among them her father and surprisingly Canis by her side. Her mind drifted to another memory of Legolas.
"Legolas, will you be my friend always?" the younge elfling asked as she watched Caradhras leave Rivendale with Legolas's father Thranduil. "Of course, Samara! What would make you think differently?" Legolas exclaimed smiling at her. "So you'll never leave me?" she asked once more. "No, Of course not," Legolas said. "Promise?"
"I promise," those words echoed through Samara's mind. She closed her eyes in an attempt to make it all go away silently wishing this was all a bad dream and Legolas would be alive when she woke up. Her eyes opened seeing she wasn't asleep and it was all real.
"No!" she screamed causing everyone to look at her. She ran forward into the river trying to catch the boat carrying her best friend away. "No he's not dead! He's not! He promised! Promised," she screamed as two arms wrapped around her waist stopping her. She thrashed trying to break free from the person's hold. "He's not dead," her voice no higher than a whisper as she saw the boat continue down the river. Tears leaked down her face as she kept screaming to him. Finally realizing he wasn't coming back she buried her head into the person holding her shoulder. They ran their fingers through her hair soothing her. "It's going to be alright," a voice whispered into her hair softly. She knew the voice immediantly and looked up. Canis's hazel eyes looked into her brown ones. She was surprised it was him but nonetheless she put her head on his shoulderand continued to cry. Never was she going to admit that she quiet enjoyed his soft embrace
