What the hell happened to Simplicity?

Basically Bella is Elrond's daughter and a great fighter, once the meeting is called in Rivendell, 6 unheard of members burst in on the group to help the fellowship, will Bella fall for the dazzling Edward or bond to a charming Prince? All new characters are introduced in time.

I've never read the books so have adapted things in this. BOLD ITALICS is in Elvish!

Introductions.

I drew my arrow and aimed at the target on a tree, I breathed out and fired. It hit the target square in the centre. Feeling proud of myself I grabbed another arrow ready to try a target even further away.

"Not bad sis, but how do you do with distractions?" Elladan asked me, Elrohir smirking at me beside him.

My elder sister Arwen gracefully flittered past and simply spoke, "You know she'll beat you." She stated before tieing on her cloak before going for her evening ride.

I finally looked up to see the sun was just about to set and pulled my arm back about to fire again, waiting for whatever my brother was going to try and pull, I distinctly heard the sound of wind passing, I knew they had fired an arrow, and knowing them it was aimed at my head and not to pass me, I quickly adjusted for wind and fired, before ducking out of the way; all in two seconds.

"Damn!" I heard Elladan whisper as he put out his fist for Elrohir to punch down; their sign for beating the other in a bet.

"I'm offended brother, would it not be your wish for me to be protected in battle." I scowled him, collecting my stuff together before mounting my horse. They both just smirked at me before turning around to mount their own horses.

We rode back together, we entered my fathers city of Rivendell as the sun set behind us and the gates where closed by the guard behind us. We put our horses in the small paddock and rushed to our father's council to have dinner.

"Ma hini. (My children)" My father welcomed us as we took our seats at the long table with a guest, he was draped in a grey cloak and pointed hat; a wizard? I nodded my head and took my seat on my fathers left side, opposite the wizard.

"This is Gandalf Greyhame; Gandalf these are my children; Elladan, Elrohir my eldest and the youngest Caelik, and Isabella. Of Course you met Arwen in Lorien." He introduced us to the wizard and thanked us for his welcome. My only younger sibling Caelik was not yet 50, only 40, she looked like a teenager to humans and was the sweetest girl I'd ever met, in my personal opinion. She could not yet be courted anywhere as she had not reached the age of majority, but she had many fanciers of a similar age, she had blonde hair and bright green eyes, which contrasted perfectly with her favourite colour; deep blue.

"Isabella? I have heard much about your powers, you are an elf-witch are you not?" he asked before taking another suck from his pipe. I nodded swiftly before turning to my father.

"Ada? Why is he here?" I asked politely in Elvish to hide any unwanted rudeness.

"Ada! Come quick, the ring bearer is injured." My sister shouted bursting in before my father could answer; he quickly got up and swiftly ran after my sister and to the recovery room down the hall.

Along with my sister and father I helped care for Frodo, his injury was grave but I feared it was the hold of the 'one ring' that was making him weak and not the wound. And yet I feared it too much to even lay my eyes upon such an object of devastation.

After my father said it was up to him to recover now, I hurried to the other hobbits quarters and made sure they were all comfortable and sleeping, when I came across Sam pacing in the middle if the night, I rushed in.

"Sam, he will be okay, my father and sister have helped his wound heal, all he needs now is to get rid of his burden and he'll be better in no time." I told him slowly walking him back to the bed. He sat on the bed and I went to pull the sheets over him before he stopped me.

"Your Lord Elrond's daughter as well?" he asked me. I smiled and gave him one nod. "Aragorn didn't mention you on our way here." He mused to himself. This news shocked me, for the last few hours my sister had been by my side and she hadn't once hinted that her love and my future brother was here.

I thought things over in my head as I closed the shutters in Sam's room and closed his door as he whispered me a goodnight – polite guy.

I rushed to my sister's quarters to ask about Aragorn and wasn't too surprised to find them embracing in the middle of her room.

"Sister, let me explain." She pleaded quickly; I narrowed my eyes at them before walking up to them and punching Aragorn in the arm.

"Ouch!" he said rubbing that spot. He poked me back then hugged me tightly to him, I hugged him back and laughed as he twirled my around lightly. He put me down and I reached up and kissed him on the cheek, before walking away.

It was only two days later that a great hoard of elves and a big group of dwarves along with a dozen men where filling our city and were invited to dine with us for their first night before there meeting tomorrow accessing the future of the ring on power.

Sadly being the youngest, unbounded and witch-elf of the family I had many elves lusting after me all evening and when it became time, I was not allowed to turn down anyone who asked me to dance, for fear that they could be the one! Dear god was I thankful when my brothers and Aragorn decided to rescue me in the middle of the night. Aragorn subtlety twirled me off the dance floor and towards my father. I quickly kissed his cheek before he went to dance with Arwen. I found my father talking to Gandalf and a blonde elf I couldn't see the face of; he seemed to be wearing a headdress so he was probably one of the Princes here this week. I kissed my fathers cheek and relieved myself for the rest of the festivities.

I stepped out of the crowded hall of men and recognized Frodo's form at the balcony in front of me; I silently made my way over to him. I stood next to him as we both silently reminisced over the beauty of my city; a small river ran through the centre of it and was our source of clean water. There was a clear night above us and a full moon in the sky, and only the faint sound of the hustle and bustle on the other side of the door from the party.

"It's beautiful; it'll be a shame to leave so soon." Fordo mused finally.

"You would not have to leave straight away, I'm sure my father would not object to you staying for a while before returning." I comforted him, yet still he seemed saddened and there was a hidden layer to his thoughts kept secret through his eyes.

"I must leave, these types of adventures aren't wished upon such simple folk." He muttered, the way he worded it I could tell they weren't his words.

"Who told you that?" I asked trying to keep my tone light.

"Many people, you know it was Gandalf's fault that my uncle ever took his first adventure, in the Shire he has officially been labelled a 'disturber of the peace'!" he stated proudly chuckling. I giggled with him, before I heard foot steps behind me.

"Lady Isabella?" I heard a male voice call.

"Oh crap," I whispered I turned quickly to the hobbit and whispered to him, "Tell him I felt sick." I quickly said before darting off in the over direction.

Lady Isabella quickly left my side as a blonde elf came slowly towards us looking after her, "Where did she go?" he asked quietly.

"Umm, she felt sick." I lied timidly, it wasn't till I noticed the headdress did I assume him royalty, and seeing the bow and quiver on his back a warrior.

"Will she be alright?" he asked his brow furrowing.

"Yeah, probably just ate some bad fruit." I mumbled laughing to myself. When he didn't laugh I stopped and stuck out my hand. "Umm, Frodo Baggins." I introduced myself.

As soon as the words left my lips, his eyes widened and instantly took my hand and bowed slightly. "It was a mighty thing you did, risking your life to bring the ring here. Is it safe?" he asked.

"Yep." I said touching it lightly through my shirt. "Umm?" I asked.

"Oh, Prince Legolas of Mirkwood." He introduced himself quickly. After a second or two he slowly walked back towards the party and I to my room.

Thanks for reading this far, just thought since I could only find one Bella – Legolas story I'd write one myself. Please favourite and review.
