Belowins POV

I can no longer hear the creatures, however I do not know if that is a good sign or a bad one. Legolas holds me close as the doors open once again. This time though the door does not bring me any relief.

Haldir walks forward with my sister in his arms. I can already feel my anger rise. Haldir walks past me and lays her down on a table in the room.

"What happened?" I ask as my voice breaks and I run to Neemas side.

"The king found her and he ordered me to bring her here though he would not tell me why." Haldir tells me as I look up and can see tears in his eyes as well.

"She's not dead, she can't be. She promised our mother she would look after me." I say as I take ahold of her hand.

"Belowin your sister would not want you to be like this." Uncle says walking to my side.

"How would you know what she wanted?! You hated that she ran away from her duty! She did not wish to leave me I know it." I say as I lay my head on the table.

"What was her duty?" Haldir asks us.

Well my sister couldn't tell him so I would. My uncle looked between Neema and myself I noticed while raising my head.

"Neema was-" I start as I feel something move beneath my hand.

I look to Neemas hand and I feel her move it. She's not dead! I look at the others and see they are shocked as well.

"She needs her rest. Being near death does tend to take a lot out of someone." The king says as he enters the room.

"I thought she was dead." Haldir confesses shamefully.

"As did I, until you came Marchwarden. Perhaps you were the one to make her want to stay?" The King questions as he walks up to Neema.

Haldir doesn't say anything but I can see him blush a little. Oh I knew it! There is something going on between him and Neema.

"How long will she be like this?" I ask wanting to know more.

"I'm not sure, I did not see any blood on her which leads me to believe someone knocked her unconscious." The king says as he looks down at Neema.

"She did what she had to just to protect me. Now here she lays before me and I can't even thank her."

All these emotions run through my body. I am relieved to know she isn't dead but now I also fear how long she will be like this.

Haldir stands beside Neema and something tells me he won't leave her. Though no they haven't known each other that long I have never seen Haldir look at any other elleth the way he does with Neema.

"I believe our beat course of action is to kill this elleth who has caused is so much trouble." Legolas says to us.

I nod my head in agreement as does my uncle and Haldir. We then look to the king. He would be the one who has to pass her judgment.

"I agree, I will think how it shall be done and let you know.'' The king says as he turns about to walk out.

" My king! Are we just going to keep Neema down here?" I ask.

The king barely turns my way when he says "Right now Belowin this is the safest place for her. I need to make sure the guards got rid of those creatures.''

Without another word the king walks out. I look back to Neema. My poor sister. Still how did one is elleth have so many creatures. I was going to find out and no one would get in my way.

The king forbid us to leave the room and lucky for me everyone was asleep. This was my chance. I snuck out of the room to find the dungeons. It wasn't hard to find and the guards let me pass. Apparently the king didn't think to tell them not to allow me down here.

"Well what do we have her? A pleasure to see you again your majesty."the elleth sarcastically said with a bow.

"What were those creatures you commanded?" I ask as she smiles at me then grabs the bars before her.

"Past lovers who have pledged themselves to me." She says with an evil giggle. "Needless to say humans are quite easy to trick."

"You changed them into those horrible monsters?! How? They turned to human after they were killed?" I ask as she smiles at me.

"Princess you seem to ask questions you already know the answer to. Deep down you and that thing growing inside of you will die. If not by my hand then by one of my many lovers." She says as she snaps her fingers and the cell door opens.

How the heck?! Her magic is stronger than I thought. I look around and see the guards have gone.

"No husband to help you now and your sister is dead. Whatever will you do little princess?" She ask as one of her hands go around my throat.

I try to scream and fight her off but I feel my body giving out.

''Two nieces of Lord Elrond were easier to kill then I thought." She tells me as he grip gets tighter.

Just as I am about to loose all hope the elleth screams and jumps backwards holding her arm.

''You stay the hell away from my little sister!" I hear Neema yell at the elleth.

"Neema?!" I question, I thought the king said she was near death.

"Go find Legolas and the others sister." Neema tells me eerily calm.

"What about you? I thought you were almost dead." I ask confused as to how she is standing before me.

"I'll be just fine. She isn't the only one who knows magic sister. Now go.'' She says walking in front of me.

I stand up with my hand on my neck. I look down and I see that Neema has a pair of daggers in her hand.

"I will return with Legolas and Haldir." I say as I turn and run out of the dungeons for help.

Ha! So Neema wasn't dead! She knows magic as well and no one messes with her sister!!! Anyone shocked or anything? Let me know.
