Aerlinniel POV

I have finally got them to agree to let me do watch tonight. I will leave as soon as the sun starts to rise above the horizon. I will know when I feel the heat coming from the sun's rays. I now have to figure out a plan to save Elarinya.

A sound in the distance makes my ears twitch. I realize it is just a bird. I listen to it sing its beautiful song while the night drags on.

Soon the only noise is the sound of heartbeats all around me. I am tired, and would very much like to sleep. But I know I can't. I have to stay awake so I can leave in time to save Elarinya.

She means so much to me and she is the only family I have left. I am so happy that she survived the Dragon attack on our kingdom. I just wish I had know that sooner.

Oh right, I still have to think of a plan to Save Elarinya. Although, now that I'm thinking of it, I don't even know where she's being held at.

Maybe it would be better to figure out first and maybe come up with a plan then. Because they could be in tents or in a building. So it would different in terms of saving her.

Hopefully, since I am blind of course, I will still be able to do this. Well, I have to. For Elarinya. I will do anything I can to save her, even if it means risking my own life.

I close my eyes and listen to the sounds of different animals all around me. I hear an owl hooting to my left and a squirrel scurrying across the forest floor on my right. The night seems to pass by quickly as I hum a tune to myself.

I am starting to feel a slight heat, so the sun must be rising. I have to get going now. I grab everything I need, including my weapons and some Lembas bread. I have to leave before anyone wakes up. Maybe I should leave a note so they, meaning mainly Legolas, does not get too worried.

After writing the note I take off. I wonder how far or close Elarinya is. I just hope to find her soon. I have to find her and get her back.

Legolas POV

When I wake up, Aerlinniel is no where in sight. I hope nothing bad has happened to her. She could of been taken or worse, killed. I shake my head to rid the thought of her being killed out. I can't be thinking like that. Aerlinniel is probably fine. Maybe she's doing some scouting.

I start to look for her, but instead of finding Aerlinniel, I find a note. I open it up and read what it says:

Dear Legolas,

I am writing you this note to let you know that I went to find Elarinya on my own. You probably don't even care though, but I still thought that I should let you know where I went. Please do not follow me. I do not want anyone else getting hurt because of me. I hope that you understand.

                                Sincerely,

                                           Aerlinniel

After reading the note, I take a moment to process what has been written. Should I follow? Or should I wait to see if she comes back first? I'm not sure what I should do.

Elarinya POV

I open my eyes to only, yet again, squint because of the bright light. I am pretty sure I am underground and there is a hole in the ceiling of my cell that's letting the bright sunlight in. I'm guessing that the sun is just now rising in the sky.

I wonder how long I have been here now. I am not sure anymore. Possibly a few weeks, but I can't be sure. I wonder if Aerlinniel is close to finding me.

I sure hope so. I don't know how much longer I can stay in this horrid place. I don't know how many more beatings I can take. I don't even know why I am being beating. Nothing seems to make any sense anymore.

I want Aerlinniel to come save me so bad. But, what if she's not even looking for me? What if she does not even know I've been abducted. I sure hope she does.

I hear heavy footsteps walking towards my cell. Not again, I don't want another beating. I close my eyes as I hear him opening the door.

I am waiting, expecting at any moment to be hit or kicked. But it does not happen. I open my eyes to see, in the arms of the ellon who took me, someone completely unexpected.

Aerlinniel POV

I have been walking for around an hour now. Still no sign of Elarinya or anyone really. I hear no heartbeats except those of the animals around me.

I wonder what some strategies could be for rescuing Elarinya. I could somehow sneak in. Or I could put on some sort of a disguise. I am not sure. I have to think of something though.

Who knows how much longer until I find where Elarinya's being held. It could be a few minutes or a few hours or even a few days. I just hope to find her soon.

As minutes pass by, I think of all the times I would play with her when we were little. We always had so much fun together. Even though it was only for so long until the Dragon attacked our home. The Hidden Kingdom in Fangorn.

We would race through the trees and go to the stream and throw water at each other. We would go for walks through the forest. Some nights, we would start a small fire and sing songs all night long. I didn't get to spend much time with her when we were little. But I cherish every single moment I had with her.

I remember nights when she would sometimes have nightmares and I would hold her in my arms and sing to her to help her sleep. She would have nightmares of orcs and wargs chasing her.

It always scared her so much because they would always look so scary to her. She has been told stories of them, but never actually seen them. I, of course, have no idea what they look like either.

She accepted me for who I was. Everyone thought that, since I was always so nice to everyone, that I was faking being nice so I would get attention and maybe even rewarded for being so kind. Which is definitely not true. I just can't bear the thought of being mean to someone. I could never do such a horrible thing.

I forgive others easily and I trust others so easily because I believe there is some good in everyone. I always look for the good in things. Some people just want attention and think the only way to get it is to be mean. But I know that most people really are good and kind, some just don't always show it.

That's why I was so quick to forgive Legolas when he shot me with the arrow. And why I was so quick to trust Tauriel and Faelwen. There was something about them I knew I could trust. I have no idea what, but I know to trust what my heart tells me.

In Fangorn, I was pretty much trapped in the kingdom until my little sister was born. I love to be who I am and not someone who someone else is forcing me to be. It was nice to be out and be free in Fangorn forest.

Everyone thinks that Fangorn forest is a bad place. But it is not, Fangorn is amazing in so many ways. I remember so many days of sitting in the trees, relaxing and feeling the wind on my face. I would go to the rivers and streams to swim in the cool water.

My thoughts then drift to Legolas. Like they always do. I wonder why he was not being harsh. Unless...  The spell! It must have finally broken! Oh, thank goodness. That means Legolas and Tauriel and others are back to normal.

But, why was there absolutely no emotion in his voice? It makes no sense. Maybe that's just how he has to act in front of the guards. But, what if it's more than that? What if-

I snap out of my thoughts when I hear heartbeats and immediately put my hands to where my daggers are. I wait for any sound or movement. But I hear nothing but the foreign heartbeats. That's when someone puts a cloth bag over my head.

Hope you guys have liked this LONG Chapter!!! And I hope that it was long enough for you! :) I have some questions for you:

1. Who has Lithôniel taken and is now being put in the cell with Elarinya?

2. Who took Aerlinniel?

3. Should Legolas go after her? Or should he wait a few days to see if she returns? (which ever gets the most votes will be put in the story ;))

4. Do you want me to make longer chapters? Or just stay with the shorter chapters? Just to let you know, if you guys end up wanting me to do the longer chapters, it will take me a little longer to update them. ;)

5. Do any of you guys need a book cover? Cause if you do, just send me a message! :) I would be more than happy to make you one!!! ^~^

Please answer these questions, I would really like to know your guys thoughts! :D

        Love you my elves from the realm of llamas,
