[Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood]

Earlier that week

Thengise was dragged back to Legolas by his own guards. "Thengise, talk to me,"Legolas said worriedly. "I have nothing to live for,"she said sadly as she layed down on her bed and closed her eyes. "Do not say such things! You have Mirkwood and your people to live for. You have Collette to live for and you have....me to live for,"Legolas said as a tear ran down his face. Thengise did not notice this as her eyes remained shut. "How can I live without love?.....Without Jecht?"she said softly as tears ran down her own face. Legolas said nothing but turned and left the room in silence.

Thengise had not eaten for a whole week as the seventh day arrived. She hadn't spoken to anyone since the conversation with her father either. She lay in her bed still with her face stained with tears. She looked up as she saw the sun pouring in throught a small opening in the window. The elf gathered all her strength and lifted herself off her bed and out her door. She opened the door to the next room to find Collette holding some kind of explosive in her hand. "Please Collette, do not try to do anything,"Thengise forced herself to say though it came out in a whisper.
