As they walked something caught Kedi's eye. All the girls their age were gone, then she saw a paper pinned up. She walked over to a post and pulled a paper off of it and read it. It said,
" By order of the King every eligible woman should be brought to him." After reading this Kedi turned to Alassie and said,
" We need to leave now."
" Why?" Alassie asked. Kedi showed her the paper and there was no discussing it they need to leave now. Sneaking through the trees something caught Alassie's eye. She saw a white horse and on its back was the king. Alassie quickly grabbed Kedi and ducked down.
" Shh," said Alassie putting her finger to her lip. They sit and watched Thranduil come though their town. They both gazed at him as he walk by. They thought he was most handsome. After they watched him walk by then left. They had come back just in time to hear Alassie's mother knocking on the door.
" Yes," Alassie said trying not to let her heavy breathing show from running back.
" Kedi's mother wanted to know if her keys were in here or not," said Alassie's mother.
" I will look for them," said Alassie. While" looking "for the keys Alassie and Kedi changed into clean clothes. Taking the keys from her dress, Alassie called for her mother.
"Mother, I found the keys." Soon her mother came up the stairs and said,
" Slide them under the door." So Alassie did. Unlocking the door Alassie's mother brought their supper in to the room.
" Mmm, that smells good," said Kedi smiling.
" Enjoy," said Alassie's mother as she left. Both of the girls ate in silence. They couldn't keep their minds off of Thranduil and the paper they read.
That night, as they leave sleeping, Kedi woke up. She couldn't sleep. She got up out of bed and started walking around the room. Soon her mind lead her to step outside. She knew is was dangerous but being outside made her relax. Not walking around very long she found a path that lead somewhere so she decided to follow it. When she reached the end of the trail a castle fill her eyes. As she scan the castle she saw women her age walking around. Her mind became curious, "why were they there," she thought. Then her mind flashed to the paper she read earlier that day. Suddenly she felt someone grab her.
