    Karnea-

    It was two days ago when I found this company of dwarves, and a hobbit. Since then, I've been keeping a close eye on them. They certainly seemed to be no stranger to trouble. As they were camping near the cliff side, I saw the hobbit go to gather some logs or twigs for the fire. As he stranded away from the group, I stepped out of the shadows.

    I, too, was a Hobbit, so he shouldn't be scared. Well, not yet at least. I had been cursed as a child with strength of a hundred orcs. Picking up a large dismembered root of a tree, I walked over to him.

    "If you want to start a fire, try this. The roots from these trees work fantastic as logs for a fire."

    ----

    I fired my last arrow at the target, hitting the bullseye with ease. Hearing a fellow elf call my name, I looked towards the source.

    "You father wants you to meet Odette." I raised a brow, Odette? Who was that. "His soon to be bride?"

    "Oh yes, so childish of me to of forgotten." With a small smile, I placed my bow down and jogged up to the stairs to meet my father.

    I stood in my room, looking over the clothes that Thranduil forced me into. I didn't want to marry that monster. I felt tears in my eyes but I refused to cry. He kept me hidden away from the world. for fifty years of my life I was free and now he was going to keep me hidden away by making me marry him. "Odette?" I heard him call through the door. I quickly opened it and looked up at the elf. "I-I'm ready my lord" I said softly. I let out a gentle sigh, instead of being able to find out who my parents were, I was forced to marry him...I gently linked my arm with his and we made our way toward his son. When we arrived I saw him, he looked slightly like his father, but he was extremely attractive. I gently bowed, and when I looked up at him, I had a pleading look in my eyes, hoping he would help me.

    Bilbo
    I jumped in surprise, causing all the wood I was carrying to go flying. "Oh-um, hello" I said to her. It took me a moment to notice that I was staring at another hobbit. " W---wait. " I stuttered out. 'You're a hobbit, why aren't you in the Shire?" I said, then remembered that I was also a hobbit and that I wasn't in the Shire either. "D-Don't answer that, why don't you come with me. You look hungry, i'm sure we could spare some food." I said to her. I gently took the log from her hands "Thank you..."I said trailing off since I didn't know her name. "Bilbo! where are you!" I heard kili yell

    Karnea-
    A small smile came upon my face, walking alongside Bilbo. Seeing the company if dwarves from before, I blinked. Why did that one look like Thorin Oakenshield? If this was the case, I was scared because this man was the reason why I didn't fit in. He was the man who called me inhuman all those years ago.

    "Who's this, Bilbo?"

    "I'm Karnea, I come with peace. I want to offer something to this group."

    --- Legolas

    Seeing a look in her eyes, I frowned slightly tilting my head. "You do not approve?" My father asked without emotion, as I shook my head.

    "She is perfect for you father, I simply thought I saw her earlier. I had no idea this was your bride. Forgive me, m'lady." He lied, as Legolas looked at his father. "May I show her around?"

    i stared at legolas before looking at Thranduil for permission. "Go ahead. Don't take long" he muttered before walking away, leaving Legolas and I alone. Once he disappeared from our sight I look directly into his blue eyes. "Thank you" I breathed out. "H-he's too uptight" I said quietly. He just stared at me. "I don't understand why the king of the woodland elves wants to marry a human"

    Bilbo
    I gave her a gentle smile. "Sit sit" i said to her moving over so there was enough room for her to sit by the small fire. "She says that these tree roots are great for fires." I said to them, seeing Thorin look at me with narrowed eyes. "She can stay as long as she will be of use to us" he muttered before turning his back to us. "I'm sorry about him" i said to her. "He's a bit...uptight"

    "That's okay, he has every reason to be." I said with a soft smile, biting my lip slightly. "I'm away from the Shire because.... Let's just say, people didn't like me and accept me as one of their kind." Shrugging my shoulders slightly, I looked down at my clothes. "I apologise for the dirty clothing, I work as a cleaner and I hardly get paid enough to get my own bread."

    Legolas-
    I blinked, frowning slightly. "Father is uptight about many things. As for why he would marry a human is a blur to me. You are certainly beautiful, but he never agreed with humans before." Then, it came to me. "Is it.... You don't want to marry him?"

    I looked at Legolas before looking at my feet. "I don't..." I said quietly. "I was a trade...the immortal human for a life time of supplies" I slowly looked up at him. "He isn't marrying me for love, he's marrying me because he wants to figure out what I am and because I'm immortal..." I said quietly, tears in my eyes. "He's kept me hidden from everyone here for ten years." I felt like I was about to start balling, which I couldn't do since I was supposed to marry him tonight..."I wish I could get out of this' I murmured quietly.

    Bilbo
    "Oh, now I'm sure that's not true. The hobbits of the shire aren't like that" I said to her, giving her a gentle smile before pulling some food out of the fire. I handed it to her and smiled. "Well, the next town we come across I'll get you some clean clothing" I said to her "That is, if you plan to stick around for awhile" I smiled gently before taking a bite of my food as I watched the dwarves sing.

    Karnea-

    I thanked the hobbit for the food, as I took a small bite. "I wasn't born in the Shire, you see. My parents were adventurous, they traveled across the land. They had me just outside the city of Dale. My father had a curse upon him, that his first child would be... Well, as strong as a hundred orcs." I whispered the last part, nodding my head. "I practically ripped that root from the tree earlier." I pointed at the root on the fire.

    Legolas-

    "Father believes in emotions over greed... Is this true?" I asked myself, frowning,slightly to myself. "Do you know why you are immortal? It's strange for a human to be immortal. I've never seen or heard of the likes before. Did you have contact with a wizard?" I then realised I placed so much pressure on her to answer these questions. "I'm sorry for asking so many questions.... Just, if you have the smallest idea as to why you are immortal... I could help you."

    "I wish I did, but I don't...All I know is whoever my parents were, they abandoned me when I was a few months old. I can't remember anything...I was about to leave to go find them when that deal was made with Thranduil me for supplies...." I said quietly, feeling a tear roll down my cheeks. "I don't want to be married to your father...No offense intended...he just...is too controlling. Not to mention he hid me away for ten years..." I murmured.

    Bilbo
    I looked at her surprised, but not afraid. "Well, atleast you have the strength to defend yourself" I said cheerfully, giving her a sweet smile. "Most people fear you..I assume. I don't know why, you seem like a very nice hobbit. You know, you could come with us. We could use your strength...and I could use the company of another hobbit. Living with thirteen dwarves is not all it is cracked out to be" I chuckled.

    A smile came upon my features, as I hugged Biblo,lightly. "Thank you, you're nice" Pulling away, I looked at them all. "W-What are you all called?" Hearing their names, I frowned slightly. "They sound similar.. They almost rhyme. That is cool. I've got a stupid name like Karnea."

    Legolas-

    I felt sympathy for this girl, she clearly didn't want to be here. What am I supposed to do? Disobey my father, or stick with his plan? "I'll help... I know a hobbit and thirteen dwarves that could help hide you. They are good fighters." I whispered that, I wouldn't dare let father hear me say dwarves. I took her hand gently in mine, as I picked up my bow and arrows. "Can you run? Just in case we get caught. I know shortcuts."

    "Not in these clothes. I need all of my old things back...I can't get to them though, he has them locked away in the dungeon area" I said softly. "I have my own weapons to protect myself and to hunt but I can't unless i get them back." I explained to him before giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you" I breathed out quietly.

    Bilbo
    "That isn't a stupid name" I said to her "it is a beautiful name for a beautiful hobbit" I said with a smile. I nudged her shoulder playfully as I saw the sun start to rise. "We need to start moving" Thorin said to us. "Are you going to come with us?" I asked hoping she would.

    I blushed slightly, looking at Bilbo. "Yes, if that is alright." Standing up, I smiled at Bilbo. Hearing Kili ask me if I needed a horse, I shook my head. "I can walk. Thank you very much for the offer." Biting my lip, I pushed some hair out of my face. "Where are you heading?"

    Legolas-

    I felt a warm smile upon my face, as I took her hand. "I know shortcuts, stay close to me and we will get your hunting stuff." With a nod, I started to walk. "Can you crouch in that dress?" Seeing it was quite tight fitting, I wasn't sure if she could crouch down to get to the ness scary places.

    I smiled lightly at Legolas and pulled up the bottom of the dress seeing that it wasn't too tight I let it drop to the ground. "I believe so" I said to him before he began to lead me away from where his father had left us. I looked around, rather nervous I felt like we were going to be caught, which iis something i didn't want because I knew it would not end well if the king found out I was trying to leave him on the day that we were supposed to get married on.

    Bilbo
    "We're heading to the lonely mountain" I whispered quietly. I smiled lightly at her as we began to walk beside the spare horses. "So Karnea, what is around these parts?" I asked "danger wise"

    "Where do I start? Dark things dwell around here, but they should be a minuscule problem." I said with a great smile. "Be careful about those man eating spiders, I've head tales about them. They goggle up anyone they see. They are easy to take down, though. My uncle took one down, when he was an old man, just a stick jabbed right in its eyes is all it took."

    Legolas-

    I smiled slightly. "Shhh..." I whispered, as I heard guards walk near. I took her behind a curtain, and pressed my hand against her mouth, waiting for the guards to pass. It was only then I noticed we were really close, as I withdrew my hand. "I'm sorry, m'lady" Taking peek, I decided we should run. "The guards take this route every ten minutes." I gently pulled her out of the hiding spot, as we jogged down the hall. I slid down the rocks, as I helped her by holding a hand out and lowering her down.

    I looked at him and slid down the rocks with him, ripping the dress slightly. I chewed on my lip a minute before quickly ripping off the bottom of my dress to where the new bottom was mid thigh. I looked around and stashed the ripped material behind a shelf and turned around to see Legolas just staring at me. "W-Why are you staring?" I asked with a slight stutter. After a minute I heard the guards and I grabbed Legolas' hand and ran. I pulled him behind a rock and crouched down beside him. "Will you snap out of it?" I asked him.

    Bilbo
    "Man eating spiders..." I said. "Well, isn't that lovely. " I said to her. I looked up at the sky and smiled. I always thought it was a beautiful thing. "You know, you're the only hobbit I actually like" I said to her. "Most of the other hobbits just pester me. I like to be secluded and read my books. Well, until these guys came along" I informed her, ignoring the sounds of the dwarves that were infront of us.

    (((SO SO SO SO SO SO SORRY FOR A LATE REPLY!!!!))
    Karnea
    I couldn't help but smile at Bilbo. "So, I'm guessing these guys invaded your normal, peaceful Hobbit life?" With a small chuckle, I looked at the hobbit. "I was born outside the Shire, somewhere in the woods... My parents were adventurers, and they had me along the way. I never really fit into the Shire because.. I guess because I wasn't born there. But, either way, I've stayed true to my dad's desires of me searching Middle Earth for treasure or maybe something greater." Smiling up at the sky, I heard a dwarf call out ''Lass, keep up!", which snapped me out of my thoughts as I caught up with them.

    Legolas
    I blinked a few times, soon knowing I was staring. I cleared my throat. "S-Sorry... I-I've never seen a lady be so.. Most of our elvish woman are very uptight about ripping their dresses or getting mud on their hands... I'm sorry, Odette, if I scared you." With a small bow of apology, I grasped her hand and started to lead her out of my home. Soon, we were out of the place where she didn't want to be, as I pulled her behind a tree to let her catch her breath.

    I smiled lightly at him and sighed "thank you for helping me" I said to him as i leaned up and kissed his cheek. 'So what's next?" I asked him quietly. I sighed quietly and ran my fingers through my pale white hair. "I'm afraid to find out who my parents are" I said quietly "what if they're horrible people" i pulled my necklace out from my dress and stared at it. "I've had this ever since i could remember" i said as i ran my thumb over the leaf shaped object.

    Bilbo
    I smiled at her and waited for her to catch up. "They did indeed disturb my peaceful hobbit life. sometimes I wish these boys never would have come along, but i'm glad they did, the shire was getting rather boring. Always doing the same things every day"

    (It's okay ^ .^)
