Chapter 8: What Happened to Elaina



"He sounds like a very nice elf, and besides, how bad could he be?" Nina whispered back.



"Well...."



"Come on."



"Okay." he said with a sigh.



Before they started walking up again, Arena asked the elf what his name was. He answered, "Dhiren."

"Oh." said Arena, with a smile. Just then, they heard some thumping and rustling.

"Not again." Arena said, but when she found out who it was she was very happy it happened. It was Elaina!



"Elaina!" cried Arena.



"Arena!" cried Elaina, and just like that they flew into each other's arms.



"I thought I'd never see you again." Elaina told Arena quietly, almost a whisper.

Elaina soon let go of Arena and asked, "Who are these people?"



"There my friends." she answered.



"Oh it's nice to meet you all," said Elaina, "but could I speack to Arena alone for a little while?"

Then they all said of course she could and walked away.



"Arena," she said, almost crying, "it is true that I managed to get home..." then she stopped to cry, and Arena hugged her to comfort her, and asked, "What is it?"



Elaina laid her head against Arena's lap for a little while and then she lifted it and said,"But when I reached the oak tree Fathher and Mother were no where to be seen. But they left this note." and she gave Arena a scrap of paper.
