Stolen Innocence Regained

A/N: I would like to say a special thanks to those that reviewed. THANKS!

Aragorn had followed Elrond to the house of healing with the elleth in his arms, they entered one of the many healing rooms and he set the elf on the bed.

"What happened to her?" Elrond asked looking from his adoptive son to the elf.

Aragorn shook his head, "I don't know Adar, I found her in the forest." He answered.

"Alright, please leave while I work on her." Elrond asked him.

Aragorn nodded, "I'll wash and change, then come back." He promised before walking out of the healing room.

After Aragorn had left Elrond began to treat the elf, he removed the cloak that was wrapped around her small body, he swallowed roughly when he saw that she was not wearing any leggings and was bleeding from her hands, feet and inner thigh. Elrond could instantly tell what had happened, he frowned rape was not common in the in the Elven world and when it did happen the elf usually faded from the grief. He payed no mind to that for the moment and treat her, pulling the glass out of her hands and feet, wrapping her broken ribs and lastly cleaning between her legs. When he was done he removed her odd clothing and replaced it with a night dress. Elrond walked out of the healing room to find Aragorn waiting there. "She is resting."

"Will she live?" He asked calmly.

Elrond sighed, "She will not die of her wounds but had been raped and could fade." he explained.

"Do you think she will fall in to darkness?" Aragorn questioned his father.

"I do not know, she is the only one that can decide." Elrond said hoping the young elleth would not fade. "Come, we will eat while we wait for the elfling to wake." Elrond suggested ushering his son down the hall.


Over eight hours later Courtney woke in a strange room, she shot up and found it odd that she was in no pain, she looked around the room, it was filled with sun light and the walls were a neutral cream color it was.....nice. She was in a light rose colored night dress, she noticed that he hands, feet and ribs had been bound. She knew she was not in a hospital, she had been in hospitals before and this was not one of them, she quickly got out of the room and walked over to the large oak door and opened it before walking out of the room. She began to walk down the hall noticing how quite it was as if no one was there, the sun was shine through the hall way and flowers lined them as well. The quite was disturbed by someones foot falls, Courtney stopped and turned and looked behind her to find two men.

The man with waist length brown hair spoke first, "What are you doing out here?" He asked.

Courtney looked up at him and bit her lip nervously, "I woke up and I was looking for someone to tell me where I was." she explained.

"My lady your in Rivendell." The younger looking of the two with shoulder length brown hair to her.

'Rivendell' the name rang bells because it had been in the Lord of the Rings movies she had scene a while ago. "And where is Rivendell?" She asked cautiously.

"In Middle Earth." The short haired man replied again.

"Thats insane!" She blurted out.

"Pardon?" The longer haired man asked.

"This is bullshit, Middle Earth does not exist, it's a fiction place in a book." She said hotly.

"I can assure you that Middle Earth is real." The longer haired man told her, his voice was calm almost musical.

"Elf's, wizards,hobbits and dwarfs, do not exist." She argued.

The shorter haired man looked at her with pure confusion written on his face. " But you an elf." He said.

"I am not and elf." She said glaring daggers at him.

"Your ears my dear." The longer haired man said.

Courtney's left hand flew to her ear and it found very pointy tips. "Oh God, what have you done to me!" She asked in a gasp.

"We have done nothing but help you." The younger man told her his voice tight, he appeared to be losing his cool.

"And how did you help me?" She shot back.

I found you in the woods beaten, bloody and half clothed." The younger man stated.

"You did." She squeaked out her voice high than before.


"Yes." He replied.

She looked at her hands, the had been wrapped with care, they obviously did help her. "I don't understand why I'm here." She told then in a sad voice.

"We understand that and we will call someone that can help us with this problem." The longer man told her kindly.

She nodded and decided that she had to trust them....for now. "Alright, um mm I'm Courtney."

"I'm Lord Elrond and this is my son Aragorn." Lord Elrond introduced himself and Aragorn.

'An leader of elf's and a King of men, do I bow?' she asked herself before deciding do do a half bow.

"Why do you bow to us?" Aragorn asked, looking at her curiously.

She looked at Aragorn as if her were stupid. "Lord Elrond is the ruler of Rivendell and your the King of Gondor."

"Aragorn eyes went wide then narrowed. "How do you know that?" He asked angrily.

Upon hearing his angry voice Courtney shrunk back in fear. "I....um mm.... a book in my world," She stuttered out.

Aragorn and Elrond could feel the fear radiating off of the the elf, "We will no harm you child." Elrond told her, confused by her fear. "Please explain of how you know of Aragorn heritage."

"In my world there are books about you." She explained saying books instead of movies because she knew they wouldn't understand what a movie was. When she finished speaking she moved her hands to her ribs as the pain began to return.

Elrond noticed this movement, "You should be resting." he said ushering her back to the room she had woken up in.

Courtney walked in and sat on the bed.

"Tell us how old are you?" Elrond asked as he began to make what she assumed was tea.

"Seventeen." She replied.

"Only seventeen centuries your young." Aragorn commented.

Courtney's eyebrows knitted together, "Centuries, I'm seventeen years old."

Both Aragorn and Elrond gasped. "Your but a baby." Aragorn said in shock.
