Freezing up, Kedi didn't move until she heard the voice of the unknown person.

" What are you doing out here," said Alassie. A sigh of relief come over Kedi.

" I couldn't sleep," said Kedi.

" Well you know how dangerous it is out here. So why did you come out here," Alassie in a stern voice but not making her sound like a parent, but more of a caring stern.

" Because it relaxes me," said Kedi turning an facing her.

" Well we should go back," said Alassie.

" Yes," said Kedi, " but I think I found out where all the other women went."

" Where," said Alassie as she stood up and turn to her.

" In that castle," Kedi said pointing to the castle behind while standing up.

" Okay, but we need to go back now. It's not safe," said Alassie

" I heard you the first time," said Kedi laughing a little to loud.

" Shh," said Alassie, but it was too late someone had hear them.

" Who is out there," said a graceful manly voice. On hear this Alassie and Kedi fled.

After Thranduil heard the talking he decided to follow the voices. He followed the path that Alassie and Kedi went on and saw the two girls crawling into a hole. He know right away what had happened. They were hiding from him. So he left and went back to the castle where he made plans to raid the house where the girls were staying.

The next morning the girls woke up. They had an odd feeling that they were being watched. Soon both of their fathers were walking though the door. They know that something bad was about o happen.

" Where were you two out late night," asked Kedi's father?

" We were in bed. Where else could we have been," Kedi lied.

" Don't lie," said Alassie's father," we know what happened." Silence fell over the room. Soon they heard the sound of things breaking. Alassie's father, Kedi's father, Alassie, and Kedi all ran down the stairs to find elven guards poring into there house. Soon King Thranduil himself came into the room. Alassie guessed that someone from the kingdom had followed them. Soon a thought came into Alassie's head. She could seek away and run. On the other hand Kedi was thinking that she should do whatever she needed to do without causing any trouble.

" Why were you hiding them from me," said Thranduil.

" Because we love them and don't want them to leave us, said Kedi's mother. Thranduil smiled and said,

" Do you not trust me to take care of them." But before Kedi's mother could answer Thranduil said,

" I will pay for the damage and will now take these lovely women from you." Alassie saw this as her chance to run and she did. Kedi tried to stop her but she was to fast. Soon Alassie was outside but there were guard all round the house. So she turned around and jumped onto the roof. Thranduil was watching and he was impressed by her moves, but was also impressed that the other lady wasn't trying to escape. Grabbing her by the hand he takes her to his horse where they ride away, while Alassie made her escape through the wood where she wouldn't be found.
