Once again, I do not own Lord of the Rings, only OC's. anyway, hello everyone. I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. Every time I watch or read an anime or manga I suddenly remember a story I had forgotten. A lot of them are cross overs, so I apologize that I'm always writing those kind of stories. So, on with the story;)

Stella and Alice ran through Lothlorien as though a band of orcs were chasing them. Before they could reach the safety of their guest chambers, however, a pair of strong arms wrapped around Alice's waist and spun her around. Screaming in shock about being picked up so suddenly, the stranger put her down with a small laugh. "Hello again, Thenidiel. Have you thought about my offer?" Arbellason asked, ever persistently. Alice sighed tiredly and pressed the heel of her right hand into her temple. "No! I will not marry you, Arbellason! I'm busy enough as it is, I don't have the time to worry this." Alice replied and briskly walked away with Stella by her side. When they had walked behind a large tree they resumed running and hid in the library. "Why is he here?!" Alice whisper screamed in panic.

"I don't know, Alice. Arbellason kept saying that he wanted to talk to you, then he ran off saying you had gone in the direction of the Fellowship's camp. What did happen on your way here?" Stella asked worriedly as she watched Alice pace relentlessly the length of the room, almost looking as though she were going to run into the wall on purpose. "I spoke to him in Rivendell, before the council meeting he confessed his love for me-to which I answered I didn't feel the same." Alice added as she saw her friend's eyes light up. "Then he kissed me, followed by an idiotic choice of wanting to marry me-I. REFUSED!-then he kidnapped me and Elrohir for an ex-acquaintance of mine. Nearly caused several fights, threatened the life of Sam...I will not return until the ring is destroyed." Alice said quietly, Stella's elvish hearing her as though she had simply whispered.

"But, Alice-" "At least until I am also ready to face him." Alice added quickly. "So long as there is still darkness it is dangerous to return. I'm going to help the Fellowship reach Mordor." She explained. Stella looked at her friend with fear in her eyes. 'Mordor?!' She thought in panic. "You know the way." It wasn't a question. Alice nodded her head sadly and walked to the wardrobe, opened it, and pulled out a cloth covered object. Stella watched as Alice slowly unwrapped the black cloth and revealed a shining silver sword hilt. Unwrapping it further, the sword became a small dagger. It had a simple yet complicated design. Four vine-like pieces of silver spiraled parallel to each other on opposite sides from the pommel to the guard, two more silver vines branching from either side of one to spiral around the guard until it reached the ends, spirals becoming tighter until they merged into one dull point. The four silver vines crossing over and around the hilt so they all met at a single point of a deep blue spade shaped sapphire in the middle.

The sheath was of dark brown leather with swirl patterns engraved into it, surrounding a small spade on either side. The blade was, like the hilt, silver and absolutely spotless, reflecting the sunlight that shone through the window like a mirror. A heart, three leaf clover, and diamond were engraved onto the blade in that order, a small space in between the heart and three leaf clover for another shape, was blank. Stella sighed sadly as she looked at the dagger. "He said it would be soon as well." She stated as Alice played with her necklace absentmindedly. "Either he knew or the darkness was getting worse without us realizing it." Alice sighed quietly. "Are you really going to lead them there?" Stella asked worriedly. "It's the least I can do. I have also been hiding for a long time, it must be done." Alice replied and carefully re wrapped the dagger, hiding it in the folds of her cloak that lie on a chair. Turning to her worried friend Alice sighed again and smiled slightly, motioning to the door.

"It's time to get ready for dinner, you should get ready as well." "And leave you to choose a dress? I know you barely have any here, so why don't we venture to my room when you're finished?" Stella suggested amusedly. Rolling her eyes, Alice pushed Stella towards the door. "Go. I'll meet you at the stairs." With that, Stella walked back to her own room with a smirk as Alice looked down the hall before shutting the door. No one was there anyway. Quickly putting on a light blue dress with long fitting sleeves and a sweet heart neckline, Alice fixed her her hair into simple light curls and slipped on a pair of light blue ballet flats. Before leaving the room, she made sure to hide her her dagger in the wardrobe carefully before walking outside and making her way to the stairs leading to Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel's hall. Stella was waiting for for her at the stairs like they had promised and walked up with her. Stella had changed into a yellow dress with slightly longer sleeves, her hair was slight pulled back with a braid on the left side of her head.

Stella's own necklace was glinting in the moonlight as they walked, the gold diamond shaped topaz appearing to glow as they approached the hall, while Alice's blue sapphire spade glowed from the moonlight shining onto it. The hobbits were the first to greet the two ellyth as they entered the spacious room.
