"Misty,"1
A slow smile spread across Mithfalasiel's elven features as she recognized Amlach's voice. Without turning, she greeted him, using one of her favorite lines.2
"Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo, my love,"3
Misty heard Amlach's footsteps approaching and she stood quietly, letting him slip his arms around her shoulders in a hug from behind, sighing as she melted into his familiar presence, knowing it wouldn't last.4
"I missed you," he whispered into her ear.5
"I missed you too," she whispered back, turning to face him. "But now isn't the time for sweet sentiments of romance."6
"What do you mean?" Amlach gave her a quizzical look. "What's wrong?"7
Misty placed her hands on either side of his head and leaned forward so their foreheads were touching.8
"Watch,"9
Amlach's mind filled with images and jumped from one thought to the next as Misty sent them into his mind.10
The one image that stood out among the rest was that of people being held captive and tortured... his heart lurched as he saw Misty's brother and sister among them..11
But when the images faded as Misty released him, he knew that it was only a glimpse of the horror that had taken place.12
"I barely escaped that, myself," she told him, sighing. "I think I'm the only one."13
"Misty..."14
When she looked up, her eyes were sharp as swords and they bored into his. "I know what you're thinking," she informed him in an accusing tone. He had a sudden feeling she could see right through his soul... "Don't. I don't want pity or sorrow. I want.." her eyes softened for a moment. "I need.. your help."15
"What do you want me to do?"16
A sly look crossed Misty's face for an instant, but when he looked again it was gone. She stepped closer again and lowered her voice.17
"Listen very carefully..."18
* * * * *19
Amlach was quiet as he rode his horse, Felarof, out of the woods and away from Misty's cave-home.20
'Why does she want me to do this?' he wondered. 'what's she going to do?'21
Misty had explained what she thought was going on, as well as what she thought should be done about it, but he still didn't quite understand her plan.22
"I hope she'll be alright whatever she's doing..." he muttered to himself as he pointed Felarof to the North.23
* * * * *24
Misty watched Amlach ride away until she couldn't see him anymore, then she turned away to her mirror to get ready to leave.25
She pulled some tight-fitting pants and a some-what loose, short-sleeved shirt out of her dresser, thinking of how she loved the ever-changing hues of the silken fabric.26
Then she dragged her favorite pair of muddy, knee-high boots from under the bed, tugged them onto her feet, wound the leather straps around her legs and ankles and stood up.27
'Looks like it's just me and Amlach for this one," Misty thought to herself as she braided her hair.28
Then she chuckled.29
'I bet he's wondering what I'm up to right now. He's so predictable...'30
She paused in her thinking for a moment as she piled the braids on top of her head and strapped herself with a variety of weapons, fastening her cloak about her neck.31
"Well," she said, looking around. "I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be."32
She exited the cave and walked stealthily North-west to carry out her part of the plan.
Author notes
this is the first little chapter-piece-fragment-portion-bit of the story. and i must warn you, it writes itself, so if the style of the writing changes throughout it as i re-post the edited portions and post some new ones then just remember that. it all depends on what i went through that day, my mood, my mindset, how i interacted with my pals that day, pretty much anything can effect it. and i must remind all to read from 1 through whenever the end comes. do not skip around. enjoy

Well, I like the idea you have going. Personally, it's a style I prefer. Now, not having read further I think what you've done is good, and has a lot of potential, so I hope when the plot gets to the goods, the plan was worth the wait to find out about.
I would though prefer to know what kind of world they live in, and what the world looks like. Am I supposed to assume it's the generic naturalistic world that most fantasy elves are found in?
Thanks for the read.

i suppose it would be much like earth, only not so modern. more like middle-earth if you wish. the age of swords and bows as opposed to guns and missiles. the days when one walked and rode a horse and wore a cloak instead of driving cars and other such. just think somewhere out in the boondocks of the backhills of the mountains in virginia and you've got the picture for the most part
so yeah. your assumption sounds fairly accurate. and as for the plan and the plot, i don't even know what it is myself yet, so i'm anticipating just as much as the next person 
lol. thank you for the comment *bows graciously*
