Description
Fawn hurried through the hard ground that was covered in snow, Fawn looked behind her a few times as she was cautious that someone was following her. Fawn felt the cold more and more as she continued walking it made her hands feel frozen and tender to move. Fawn panted deeply as she pulled the hood of her cloak up more to cover her face trying to keep warm. Fawn had walked for miles after leaving the palace needing to get as far away as possible; she kept going till getting to a small area with trees away from Mirkwood, with her frozen hands she took rocks and some small twigs and moss trying to start a fire.
Fawn tries, again and again, to stick a spark with the rocks; once it finally sparked a light she builds a small fire to warm her hands, it as so cold fawn could feel it through her bones.it was worse being starving and cold. Fawn continues to warm up by the small fire for about half an hour until the fire died out, but she decided to stay their planning to go over the mountains or to lake town, somewhere to get food in trade of the jewels she stole.
Fawn finally got up taking out the bow and an arrow as she left the world looking around the vast open area as she walked slowly looking for some kind of animal for food no matter how small or large.
------------------------------------------------------
Thranduil had sent the captain of the guard Taruiel a few men and Legolas. as they rode out on horses, they knew she must not have gotten far, Taruiel sent a few men around to go through the woods by foot as a few men, Taruiel and Legolas searched the open area and close by wooded area. The weather was very snowy and starting t get heavier by the minute as they kept going needing the thief as Thranduil was clear he wanted the person.
Fawn continued walking through the snow in the clearing; she was in the same area as the elves, fawn looked in the distance seeing a shadow of an animal. Fawn pulled the arrow to the bow pulling it back the arrow as she aims at the arrow; she thought it had to be an animal in the snow and it made her feel hungry. Fawns hands where frozen and tender finding it difficult to hold it tightly. She was trying to keep it steady and pull the arrow back more.
Fawn wasn't able to hold it back any longer and she lost her grip as it went flying towards the animal but landed a few feet short of its leg. Legolas horse backed up neighing and making panicked noises " Wow?!? Ethara" as the horse calms down Legolas and Taruiel looked towards
Fawn relised hearing that voice, she shot someone! And he was with people as they converse and point to the direction where the arrow came from. ' They were going to come for me ' Fawn backed up before falling back from a tree root that was buried in snow, which made a thump in the snow with a sound of her painful groan.
Fawn sat up seeing the men turn and see her. " I té captain !!" One guard says seeing me and they began to run towards her through the snow. Fawn Turns and bolts for it back into the forest behind her. The guards swarm around her the two men she shot for behind her and guards either side running just behind her. Legolas and Taruiel continue to follow with the men
" Dár! Mín baur hain cuin" Taruiel yelled at the men as they continued to pursue the cloaked person, the girl was fast but the horses continued to follow even know that the snow was deep.
Fawn climbs a tree and uses the branches to jump from branch to branch making it faster and easier to get some distance from the Elves, as she runs the elves shoot at her the branches trying to make her fall somehow. Fawn kept running as an arrow hit in front of her foot she loses balance on a jump making her crash head first into a tree and then fall down on to the ground in the snow.
Fawn was surrounded by elves aiming bows as her, fawn got up seeing them all around her panicking slightly as she pulled out a sword looking around aiming it around as the elves stood aiming not afraid
" Near i magol dad. Ceri- ú- test nin galadrim" Taruiel yelled out at Fawn knowing she may fight them to get out or something as Taruiel walked overtaking her own bow along with Legolas " Put i magol dad hi!" Taruiel said again louder
Fawn felt trapped with the elven guards and the woman elf as well as the male one beside her, the only two differences from the others. She didn't know what to do with the female yelling at her, fawn felt her heart was racing so fast as she looked around as it made her panic. the elves crept closer as she turns around looking around at them.
Legolas comes closer putting the weapons away as he grabbed fawn from behind as he disarmed the elve. Fawn fought against him as he held on to her tightly; as they fought a little. Fawn was taken down easy being pinned to the snowy. Fawn screams and fights but Legolas was to strong.
" Taruiel" he called out as Taruiel gave Legolas rope she binds her arms together, Fawn kept moving as he tied her up " Ceri- ú- cost, cin tur- ú- n- lain!" Legolas said seriously as he got the Person up to her knees
The Guards lowered their weapons putting them away when Taruiel made a hand gesture, Taruiel came over to look at the Elleth; Legolas lowered hood in one fast swoop looking at the female with an emotionless look. as she bent down she took the bag off her looking at fawn. Fawn looked at her for a moment trying to get up to stop her.
Legolas Immidetly pulled her back to kneeling position; Taruiel slightly had a smirk as she searched the bag, jewels were pulled out a necklace and a few sparkly gems in her hands showing the others. the face the other elves made looked like hate and disgust towards Fawn.
" Im tur- ech- clear na cin, im beg cin" Fawn said panicked as she saw Taruiel put the jewels back within the bag she walked back to Fawn " Bandits....um, Naeg" Fawn was under pressure trying to find the words to explain to them.
Taruiel grabbed her by the top lifting her to her feet then close to her face " Traitor of kin.......Theif" Taruiels voice was harsh and cold, something that was not like her as she turned going to her horse as did Legolas
The Other Elves held her by the shoulder; fawn felt her heart race as did her mind of being trapped and tortured again. she kept mumbling as she kept moving around making it hard for the elves to try and get a grip on her; as they needed to get her back on a horse to get her back to the palace. Fawn kept having flashes of before almost like feeling the pain again; the elves kept saying to her in Sindarin to calm down while Taruiel kept ordering them to capture her.
Fawn kept saying things in Elvish and English looking around for an exit, while the elves closed in on her a bit at a time. Fawn saw the smallest looking elf and ran between her and another elves shoulder at full speed knocking them off the feet as Fawn ran slightly slipping at times, but as they followed her Fawn ran towards the lake where a lot of the water was frozen.
Fawn knew she didn't have much choice as she ran on the ice, about a little far out of the water it as deep enough that no one was tall enough to touch the bottom. Fawn stopped turning around looking at them all stopping at the ice as they all dismount.
" Tul- back Elleth, gurth bui drowning na- worse té na glenn-!" Legolas called out going to the edge of the bank, something about the Elleth felt off; the way she acted around people circling her and words she said stuck in his mind like there was something more to her than why she did what she did
Legolas slowly put his hand up looking at Taruiel to back off, as he knew as well as Legolas something was off and death shouldn't happen to any elve; as others backed off Legolas slowly walked towards Fawn
" Baw. Cheb- Awaui!"Fawn yelled terrified towards Legolas as she stepped back making the ice crack slightly; as Fawn looked down and back at him looking more afraid to fall in the water as she knew it could be a death sentence with her hands tied
" Vedui-, ceri- ú- move." Legolas said as he steps closer graceful and gently " you will fall in, I promise we will not hurt you" Legolas sounding calm and nice as he turned to Taruiel "Rope" he said; Taruiel tied rope to a horse then threw the line to Legolas who caught it then as he turns back to fawn he was about to throw her the rope to grab on to
within an instant of Fawn trying to move her feet and to be in a better position to grab it, the ice split more and rapidly; before Legolas could say a word Fawn fell in; the water was freezing as she tried to fight against it but with limited arm movement it made it almost impossible for Fawn. Legolas groaned as he tied it around himself tightly he ran and jumped in swimming with speed down the water towards Fawn frantically as he saw less movement from fawn trying to swim.
Legolas saw her body trying to take a breath, Fawn went unconscious and not moving by the time he grabbed her. this was bad for him she was not in good condition. He tugged the rope they were whisked up to the surface by horses that the rope was tied to and guided by the men and Taruiel. Fawn and Legolas were pulled back to the bank.
Legolas panted as he checked on Fawn; as she had a low pulse and not breathing. Taruiel came over checking as they knew this was bad being in the cold. Taruiel took off the cloak and began to give her CPR chest compressions, Legolas gave her mouth to mouth between the sets of chest compressions that Taruiel was giving Fawn.
Fawn finally couched up water all over herself and Legolas looked relived putting a coat around her; Fawn looked really scared but once they got her to her feet Legolas led her to his horse.
" Its alright, Elleth..... you're safe," Legolas said with a soft tone taking fawn to the palace by following the other Elves and Taruiel
"This Elleth is really not worth the trouble," one of the Guards said; at times guards looked back at the prisoner to keep an eye on them. everyone did think it would have been better for that elleth to be a frozen dreamer within the ice than going through all this trouble and danger to the Prince.
