The Beginning

CHAPTER 13

I woke up in the middle of a forest. It didn't take me so long to find out I was in Mirkwood.

I started walking and I saw a big gate. There was Thranduil with a guard. Thranduil looked at me.

"Arya!" he said runnong towards me. "Everybody is looking for you!" he said worried. He turned around to the guard.

"Find Legolas. Let him know Arya appeared. She will be with me" he said and the guard nodded.

And we came in into his home.

It was big and looked like caves. Thranduil made that Realm to protect his people.

Tauriel appeared.

"You must be cold" she said. "Come with me, I will give you clothes"

She gave me a dark green dress. Somebody knocked the door.

Legolas opened the door and hugged me. Thranduil was behind him.

"I was so worried" he said. "How did you come here? Where is Dalius?" he asked.

I really wanted to say what happened, but I couldn't. I could feel how Sauron was controlling every move, every part of my mind. How could I let them know Sauron was controlling me?

"I... ran away. Some orcs were chasing me. Dalius protected me" I said.

I didn't know why I said that in my mind the words were: "Dalius kidnapped me and now Sauron controls me and wants a jewel"

"Where is Dalius?" Thranduil asked.

"I don't know"

After dinner, Legolas showed me his home.

From the distance I could see the blue gem. It was in Thranduil's room.

At night, Legolas took me to his bedroom.

"You will sleep in my bed" he said.

"Where are you going to sleep?"

"I won't sleep. I have to be in the forest tonight. There are orcs around" he said.

I wanted so bad to sleep with him, to feel his arms around me and his blue eyes lookin into mine...

He kissed my hand and my heart stopped. He was so sweet and romantic.

"Goodnight, my princess" he said whispering and smiling at me and he left.

I had to steal that gem.
