Chapter 25

Dasia's POV

Being surrounded by elves was different. Yes I know I should be use to them since well I guess I am one of them and I sort of live in Lorien. This sounds like a crazy dream the more I think about it. Standing outside and looking around at the beautiful surroundings I try to keep my calm but of course this doesn't last long. Sensing someone close to me I follow the feeling into the forest. (Yeah bad idea now that I think about it.) Looking through the trees I can almost make out someone. Thinking it was the person I sent for back in Lorien I decide to press on and try to catch up with them. Just as I was about to put my hand on the persons shoulder I feel a hand go over my mouth. Oh no what did I just walk into. Putting up a struggle was harder that I thought. Screaming and biting as much as I can but the person holding onto me won't release me.

"Keep calm you little witch." I hear a male voice practically yell into my ear.

Oh there is no way in heck I will listen to him. If I were a witch I would be able to take him down easy. Fine then I will use my own way to fight him off. Managing to wiggle just a little I use my elbow and hit whoever it was right in the soloplex. This surprised him as I stepped as hard as I could on his foot then a quick punch to his nose and then private area. That one was weakened and gave me time to take off back to wherever Luna or someone was.

"Help!" I yell as loud as I can at the top of my lungs as I grab the hem on my dress and lift it so I can run fast.

Just as I am past the forest line about to run into the palace I guess is what you would call it I am tackled to the ground. Turning back I see a hooded figure trying to pull me back into the forest. Oh of all the times I could use help there is no one around?! Really that is just my luck. This thing grabbed my ankle and tried to force me backwards but I manged to stand up and swing my other leg around and kick it off of me. Still I fall flat to the ground. Something told me this thing wasn't going to give up either. Using all of my energy I spring up and start running and finally I spot someone ahead of me.

Not caring who it was I literally threw myself into their arms. Lucky for me the person held onto me as I saw the hooded figure stop as if it were watching us. The elf I'm assuming looked towards the hooded figured and yelled at it something in their elven language I guess, I still needed more lesson on it. Still just by the sound of the elf's voice it sounded like a threat or even a warning. The hooded figure then just disappeared. What in the heck just happened to me? What or who was I being chased by.

"Dasia?" the elf who was holding me questioned.

Looking up I could see the ellon who caught me was none other than the prince of Mirkwood, Legolas. Great...this is just what I needed. He helped me to stand a bit more stable now but fear still went through my body. Just when I was starting to like this place I get attacked.

"What was that thing and why did it attack me?" I question Legolas as I look at him with a bit of anger and confusion in my eyes.

"I'm not sure, I merely warned it to stay away from you. Never have I seen anything like it before." Legolas tells me as I separate myself from him.

Great, that doesn't help me at all. Looking around I then see one ellon who had dark hair coming my way. For some reason I remember him being Lord Elrond. He looked me over since now part of my dress was ripped and probably had many grass stains as well. Leave it to me to ruin a perfectly good elven dress.

"What happened to her?" A stronger ellon voice that I knew all to well said as I felt someone hold me close to them. "Dasia? Are you alright?"

Orophin was one to definitely worry and now I had the feeling I wouldn't be let out of his sight anytime soon. That wasn't a bad idea in my mind at the moment either. Orophin was strong and able to defend not only himself but me as well. That hooded figure, it called me a witch...that was the part that I didn't understand.

"She was attacked, why were you not by her side?" Legolas stands tall almost as if accusing Orophin of abandoning me.

"I had to meet with others, she was with my brother to the last of my knowledge." Orophin said as he now look to Haldir who had a look of shock in his eyes.

"Would you stop it! I am not a child, I managed to fight off whatever it was to get back to...well Legolas who made it go away." I said trying to sound angry up until the last part of my statement. "What good would arguing about it do? That thing was after me! Not any of you!"

Looking behind Legolas I can see Lord Elrond looking out to the forest as if he was searching for the thing as well. Legolas nor Orophin looked like they were backing down.

"What were you doing close to the woods?" Haldir asked now speaking up.

"I was waiting for someone I sent for from Lorien. I thought I saw them out in the woods but then something grabbed me...it called me a witch." I confess and with my last five words Legolas and Orophin both direct their attention at me.

"Witch?" both Orophin and Legolas question.
