Cowgirls, a very long and hard ride!

The two Elven guards were watching over the peaceful gardens when a maiden was strolling into the King Thranduil’s private garden.

The youngest stated, “Let us have some fun with the pretty maiden. She is quite proportioned and curvy…look at how innocently she moves. Could we please have one taste?”

With a reply from the oldest, “No, Rabel, we shalt not touch this maiden in that manner. You know the penalty if King Thranduil finds out!” His brother interrupted, “Landri, you know that no one will ever find out. We shalt threaten the Maiden if she speaks one word of thus.”

Landri answered frank, “No! We shall just ask her some questions and then we will escort her away from King Thranduil’s private gardens. Is that clear, brother?”

Rabel was displeased, “You are no fun at all…I will have to do it myself. Besides, I’ve been on patrol for a month and I could use a little release.”

The youngest decided that he wanted her and jumped down from the trees. Landri jumped down behind his brother and they glared at the Maiden for a moment.

Rabel states, “Daro (Halt) Mani naa lle umien (What are you doing)?” as they grabbed her hands.

Gathering her senses, “Get off of me! Let me go! What am I doing? What are you doing? Is this how you treat all guests?”

Rabel glared at her, “Baw (No)”, the guard states as he reached in his pockets for the binds.

With out another plead, “Well you asked for it!” Chrissy yelled out.

King Thranduil was going outside to the Royal gardens on his usual walk when he heard a commotion and quickly ran over to see who his guards had caught.

With her swift thinking she quickly flipped herself over as she jumped up and kicked the guard that was fixing to bind her hands. The other pulled out an arrow and aimed it between her eyes.

The eldest held his position, “Another move Maiden and I will kill you dead!” Landri stated.

Rabel decided to touch her, “I shall keep her as my pretty pet,” as his hand glided across her face.

Chrissy noticed the way his hands touched her face, “I am no ones trophy! Get your filthy hands off of me,” as her hand smacked his away.

King Thranduil peaked through the bushes to see Lady Chrissy being treated like a common maiden in Middle Earth. She was left unattended and his guards were about to have there way with her body. He knew that he had to step in and say something.

Landri was infuriated at the Maiden so he smacked her to the ground and jumped on top of her body. She screamed as he ripped at her dress to get to his desire.

She felt his hands pushing to open her thighs as she tried to hold them together. Nonetheless, he was too strong for her and tears were pouring from her face as the thought of him entering her in this manner.

Chrissy let out a piercing scream, “How dare you treat me like this! Get off of me you filthy pig! (Isn’t this were I scream fire or something) FIRE!!! FIRE,” as terror rang through her voice, another broke in forcefully.

Landri shouted, “Get off of that maiden, Rabel! You shalt not treat her this way!”

Rabel shouted back, “Shut up, brother! You’ve always been a coward!! Now get over here and help me finish this.”

In that moment, Landri did the unexpected as he grabbed her arms while his brother pin the Maiden to the ground. He felt her struggling to be set free, he felt the pain that this beautiful maiden was feeling and knew this was wrong.

The Maiden kicked as his brother tried to open her thighs. Then to the unexpected he went flying through air and was laying flat on the ground next to his brother holding his head.

Chrissy finally kicked the one that was on top of her in the groin and head butted the other. Then she pulled the two Elves up by there ears and swung them over to a nearby tree. She tried to escape quickly but a booming voice stopped her from moving.

The two Elves were not about to let the Maiden off the hook so quickly. One of them picked up an arrow and was about to shoot it. However, there plan soon failed when there attention was on there superior.

King Thranduil quickly intervened, “That will be enough Rabel and Landri! Lady Chrissy is a guest here at my palace and she shalt not be treated like a common bar Maiden!”

Chrissy’s mind was at ease as she saw him standing there in the corner of her eye glaring at the guards. She liked thinking of the idea of having sex with an elf. However, the idea of forcing sex on her was not the way she had it pictured in her mind.

Rabel rose up with a bulge in his tunics, “I am most graciously sorry, we did not know she was a guest of yours, King Thranduil,” as embarrassment ran across his face.

With anger in his tone, “This is totally out of character, Rabel. Now, continue with your duties as I will deal with your mannerism later.” King Thranduil commanded.

Rabel bowed, “Yes, King Thranduil,” he walked off with Landri as they disappeared into the trees.

King Thranduil hurriedly walked over to Lady Chrissy, “Are you hurt? I can get my healer for you?” as his eyes examined the young woman’s condition.

Chrissy replied as she wiped the tears away, “No, I am quite alright. I guess I walked into the wrong gardens. Why are Elves just as bad as men? Always wanting a piece from you,” huffing as she brushed the dirt off of the now torn dress.

She thought, “Crap, he is looking at my thigh!

King Thranduil noticed the big red spot on her thigh where Rabel forcefully tried to pry her legs open. He then was aware of how she hurriedly covered up the red spot that would become a large bruise.

Chrissy quickly pushed the torn dress over her wounded leg and knew that it would heal faster then a regular human.

King Thranduil walked over, “I am pleased you are not hurt. However, these are my private gardens and they are well protected as you have seen. (He paused) My guards should have never treated you in that manner and my deepest apologies for there actions toward you,” as he smiled while he wiped the smudge of dirt from her face.

Then Lady Chrissy turned and walked away rather impatiently. King Thranduil could not understand why she walked away without thank him for saving her life. Although, to his surprise he got his answer that he was seeking from the Beautiful Maiden.

Chrissy replied, “I must be going now,” as she walked away hurriedly she turned around and smiled, “Thank you for your kindness, King Thranduil. I will never forget it!”

His thoughts, “she is breath taking, just like another Elleth I used to know that was quite charming. I really hope she is all right. However, the way she fought is quite skillful and most impressive.”

King Thranduil smiled and the realized that he had business to attend before the celebration today. He silently bided her farewell until they meet again later.

Chrissy limped back down the pathway as she was off to change and remove the dirt from her face. She walked down the hallway and opened the door to her room.

She went over to the mirror and looked into it as she saw dirt that formed around where her tears fell. Then she turned and plopped down on the bed for a little while and thought about what just happened.

Legolas was on his way down to the waterfalls when he over heard two male voices speaking about a fair maiden in a blue dress. He creped up on them to hear there conversation but to his surprise it was something that he wished his ear did not catch.

Landri spoke with sadness, “Rabel, you should have never hurt that fair Maiden in the pretty blue dress by forcing yourself on top of her and taking what was not given to you freely,” as guilt rained over him.

Rabel answered angrily, “You were to watch for King Thranduil and our plan failed because of your greed too, brother. That Maiden would have been pleasure by me and then after I was through, you could have had my discards. Nonetheless, the plan is spoiled and that maiden is no longer our concern when King Thranduil gets a hold of us for what we had done. This is your entire fault Landri,” as he pushed his brother.

Landri pushed his brother back, “You forget little brother as that Maiden is quite skilled and has strength like any other of her kind. She is the one that escaped from your lustfulness and you shalt pay for your actions, not I,” he turned and walked away disgusted.

Legolas was infuriated by the news that was just heard and snuck up on Rabel. He watched him for a moment as Rabel took practice shots at a nearby tree to work off some steam. Then he placed his bow down and realized that his brother was right and knew that what he had done was not fair.

The he made his presence known, “Rabel, how does the fair today? You look troubled,” as Legolas watched him turn around.

Nervously Rabel answered, “Ah, Prince Legolas, what a surprise to see you in these parts of the woods as I am quite well. Have you been watching long,” he bowed to Legolas.

Legolas smirked, “I have been here long enough (then he paused) you see Rabel, it has come to my attention that one of our guests, that is female, was assaulted today in the Royal gardens. My father was quite troubled by this and wanted me to find the Elf that is charged with such a crime,” he circled around Rabel to frighten him.

Rabel started to shake as he fell to his knees, “Forgive me, Prince Legolas, my needs over took my wants and I tried to force that beautiful Maiden to be with me. She was very fair and none like I have ever seen except that walks among our kind. I just want to know what it was like to taste and feel such beauty,” his hands fell into his face.

Legolas shook his head, “Rabel, get up,” he commanded.

Rabel did as he asked, “Prince Legolas, of all Elves you should know this torture that stirs inside of wanting such beauty,” he searched the Princes eyes for sympathy.

Legolas answered, “Those Maidens that arrived today are quite beautiful, Rabel, however I would never violate a woman or an Elleth’s body by taking what was never mine, freely,” then the Prince turned away in disgust.


Rabel searched to observe the disapproval in Prince Legolas’s eyes and then watched him turn away from him. It was a wake up call for the young guard and knew that he had to set things straight with the young woman.

Legolas felt that it was his duty to check on the young woman whom was a guest in Mirkwood and to see how she was fairing after such a horrible event that took place.

Chrissy laid on the bed staring at the ceiling trying to figure out why men get so crazy around women who are beautiful. She was only human and never thought of herself as strikingly gorgeous. However, men back home thought the same as the Elves here and now it seems Middle Earth was no different.

A tear escaped her eye for thinking that this trip was going to be fun and exciting. The thoughts were starting to come back to her as Rabel tried to force himself on top of her body.

Realizing his strength almost matched her own scared her to think that if it was not for those self defense classes, the worst would have happened today.

Chrissy silently cried on the bed and wished that her brush with violence did not happen today. Of all places and times, why did she have to walk into the King’s garden? It was all confusing to her and then she felt someone sit on the bed.

Legolas had made his way into the Palace and then down the hall to Lady Chrissy’s room. He gently put his ear up to the door and heard silent sobs echoing from the room. Without a sound, he opened up the door and quietly sat on the bed.

Her blue-green eyes were alarmed, “What the,” as she flipped around to sit up.

Legolas gently said, “I meant you no harm, I was just seeing how you were fairing,” as he moved a little to give her some room.

Wiping the tears from her face, “I am wonderful… (then she paused) actually I am not fine, but crying does help,” as she placed her hand down on the bed.

Legolas moved his hand over to her hand, “It helps to talk about what is troubling you,” he searched her sad eyes.

She smiled as his hand was placed over her own, “Why do you care to hear about my problems? (She paused as a tear of confusion streamed down her face) You are a Prince and I am just a common girl, why would you take time to hear about my troubles? ” it was her turn to search his eyes.

Legolas gently reached up to wipe the tear away, “Thus is true, I am a Prince, Lady Chrissy and I was born of Royalty. (Then he paused) However, Let us put that aside for now and think of me as a common Elf,” he smirked.

Chrissy giggled for a moment then fell into his arms, “You are so kind to me, Legolas. (She paused) Where do I begin?” sobbing tears streamed from her eyes onto his chest.

Legolas gently lifted her tear stained face, “I already know what troubles your heart, Lady Chrissy. (He paused) Rabel was the one that tried to hurt you in my father’s gardens,” then he wiped her tears once more.

Chrissy stared at him for a moment in disbelief, “How did you know?” as her swollen eyes glared at him.

Legolas just smiled tenderly, “I will not lie to you, (he paused) I over heard it from Rabel but do not despair, fair, Lady Chrissy. For guilt is over taking his mind. I believe that this is a far greater punishment then what my father has in store for his actions,” he smirked.

Chrissy’s thoughts, “He must think I’m a complete cry baby! Look at me balling, I must look a mess!”

She smiled back at him, “You are very kind, Legolas and a wonderful person. I mean that with all my heart…,” She took a deep breath and then with sweet intension, she kissed Legolas.

Legolas’s thoughts, “Her loving words…she is like the forbidden fruit…one drink from her lips and you could be put under a spell...I would not mind for she is one of a kind…wait, she is pure…I can smell it all over her…Who ever win’s her heart shalt have a wonderful gift.”

Legolas felt butterflies creep up in his stomach as her lips inched closer to his face. Even though he was silently wishing that her lips ended up on his own, he had to be thankful for the sweet kiss that was left on his cheek.

Chrissy thoughts, “His face is like silk…not even, stubble on his face. I wonder what it would be like to kiss his lips…probably soft and tender. Wait…I can’t think about Legolas like that…I like Orlando!”

Then Legolas got up, went over by the water pitcher and poured it onto the cloth. He walked back over, sat on the bed and placed the cool water on her face.

Chrissy smiled as the cool water hit her face and noticed a softer side to the Prince. She was glad that it was him who sat with her in the room and let her cry on his shoulder. Then she finished washing her face and placed the cloth on the night stand.

Legolas laughed, “I do believe we have a celebration to attend in your honor and Lady Jenny’s. My father would be displeased if we did not attend…Also, I do believe my brother would like to spend some time with you and I would like to get to know your companion, Lady Jenny.”

Chrissy answered, “Yes, I believe I was invited to a party and it would be rude not to attend,” happiness rained in her voice once again.

Legolas smiled, “I will let you get dressed now. Please be ready in one hour as Orlando or I will be escorting you to the celebration,” then he turned and exited the room.

Jenny was inside her room, putting on her Elven dress that was laid out and looked in the mirror. She started thinking about how the dress needed a little altering.

Jenny’s thoughts, “I really need to style this up some! It doesn’t show any thigh or any skin…how am I to get my game on here? O well. This will have to do!”

Jenny decided that it was time to venture out into the Palace to see what the other prospects looked like and what kind of trouble she could get into with them.
