The Lost Princess of Mirkwood

Chapter 1 - The New Addition

Thranduil was wandering the grounds of Mirkwood when, "Hi," he looks, and sees a girl waving at him. Intrigued, he approaches her and notices her face covered in bleeding cuts. "What happened," he asks, "I was running away from the orcs, and I got cut by branches." Thranduil cleans her wounds, then leads her back to the castle, and the girl sitting in front of him on his horse has fallen asleep. Later, when she wakes up, he is talking to Legolas, when he sees her standing in the doorway. When Legolas sees her, he is also intrigued by her, "Hello," he says, "I'm Legolas son of Thranduil." "Hi, I'm Hannah daughter of Calathiel," "Calathiel," Thranduil asked, Hannah nodded, "Calathiel Green-Grass, she said I have a father and brother, and that I'll meet them one day." Both Thranduil and Legolas were speechless, they had known about Hannah but didn't believe she was real. "Was it something I said," Hannah asked, "No," Thranduil said, taking a breath, he turned to Hannah, "Hannah," "Yes," "I'm your father........and Legolas is your brother." Hannah cried Thranduil held her, and Legolas wrapped his arms around them. A few hours later Hannah was with Legolas as he was talking with people Hannah did not yet know, "Hello," Hannah turned to the voice, "I'm Tauriel daughter of Tauressar." "Hi, I'm Hannah daughter of Calathiel," Tauriel looked at Legolas, "She's my sister," he said, "oh....so I guess that makes you the daughter of Thranduil." "Who," Hannah asked confused, "Legolas who is that," "That's daddy's name," Legolas answered. Hannah nodded, and went over to Thranduil who had walked out, "I see you have spoken to Tauriel," he said, Hannah nodded. "Come,'' Thranduil said, "There's someone I want you to meet," he led her over to Aragorn, "This is Aragorn...Son of Arathorn the second." Aragorn smiled, and nodded, "And you are," 'I'm Hannah daughter of Calathiel....." She looked at Thranduil smiling, he saw Aragorn confused, "My late wife," he said, then he realized, "Hannah.....Where did you come from?" "Elrond sent me away for safety, but then the orcs found me," she replied, Thranduil looked at Arwen, who seemed to recognize Hannah, "Hi Hannah," "Hello Arwen." Thranduil smiled, he knew that Arwen was Elrond's daughter, "how long were you running from the orcs," Hannah shrugged, "a while," she responded. Thranduil knew by how close she was standing, that something was off about her, "Hannah," "Yes Daddy," "Do you have attachment issues?" Hannah hesitated, "Did you hear about Mom," Thranduil nodded, "Well....now that I found you, I'm scared the same thing will happen." Thranduil put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, "It will be okay," he said, "I'm here, and Legolas is here, no one will let anything happen to anybody." Hannah nodded, however, Thranduil was convinced something else was bothering her, "Hannah is there anything else I need to know about," "I'm afraid of loud noises," Hannah responded, Thranduil worried that she would not want to be there as they were expecting a severe thunderstorm. Suddenly the storm started with a loud crack of thunder, scared Hannah clung to Thranduil who picked her up, then Legolas came, and when he saw Hannah, knew immediately the thunder was threatening her. He took her from Thranduil and held her reassuring her it was okay, then when it passed Thranduil and Legolas wanted to find out about any medical conditions. They asked Arwen who said she had PTSD due to witnessing what happened to her mom, she also said Hannah has separation issues, and when Arwen was around, she wouldn't leave her side, same with Elrond.
