Skye was walking around the camp by herself, Faolan off to whatever he was doing. They were all elves, bustling around, skinning, washing, preparing arrows for the next hunt. She gaped at all the sights, looking around in awe.

Seers-in-training were observing, if it could be called such, the elves and their way of life. Even the children were busy, running around and helping their parents. No one paid attention to Skye and therefore did not notice when she was dragged into the forest.

"Let me go!" Skye said, annoyed. Whoever it was, wasn't very gentle. She twisted out of the person's grasp, and turned around to see a young elf who looked notmuch older than herself. Seeing as she was an elf though, she was probably over 600 years old already. Her gleaming blonde hair was wild, her green eyes flashing with anger. She slapped Skye.

"You human!" she hissed, "Faolan's mine! Ever since he saw you, you're all he talked about. He gives you all his attention! He barely even glances at me anymore! It's been fourteen years, and now he's brought you here. It's too much!" She shoved Skye against a tree, hands wrapped around her neck. Skye gasped for air, clawing at the girl's hand. "We were going to have a celebration for being together for a century! But it's not going to happen while you're alive!"

"And what would happen if Faolan knew his girlfriend murdered Skye?" a voice asked quietly. "Either way you're not going to have a celebration, and he will forget about you. Still, are you sure you should be with him, though he may be angel?" the voice hinted at something dark about Faolan.

The elf turned to look at who it was, ignoring Skye, who's eyes were rolling wildly as she started seeing spots in her vision. A Seeress stood in her dark clothes, almost invisible in the shadows of the forest. She wore a black blindfold, marked by a single, glittering silver six-point star. The elf started at the sight of the star. "Let her go," the Seeress said. "She has done nothing yet."

The elf immediately let go, bowing her head. "Forgive me, Seeress. I acted out of anger."

Skye fainted and collapsed to the ground. The Seeress went swiftly to her side, drawing a vial from her pouch and passing it under Skye's nose. She woke with a gasp, gulping the sweet air greedily.
Took me forever to do something ^^; I was going to draw something but I ended up doing who knows what.... Okay, cheesy, but it's all I can think of right now....

I like the story line and its a very good piece. A couple of things that I think you could improve:
First, I'm confused about the fourteen years and the century. The wording makes me think Faolan and the girlfriend have been together 14 years and then you say century, I would clarify what the 14 years is. If its Skye having been rescued by Faolan 14 years ago, why is this the first time the girlfriend has cornered Skye?
Second: The elf lets go and then Skye faints, shouldn't she have fainted before?

I'm excited to read more and find out what happens, you should write more :D
