Keep It A Secret

~*~

I don't own any of LOTR, which you probably already know. I took a few phrases from the book even though they are not exact

*This means it is in elvish

The sun shown down a mysterious path in the woods of Lothlorien as the fellowship sat down to rest. Gandalf the Grey had fallen into the shadow and their grief drained them of their energy. What the fellowship did not know was that a group of elves above were watching them.

*Melyanna you should not be here. Your mother and father would have my head if you were hurt! * Haldir said to the golden haired elf.

*I do not think that these people will bring us any harm. * Melyanna said calmly keeping her blue eyes locked on the group below her.

Haldir shook his head in disproval and looked down with her.

*Look Haldir one of them sings of our river the Nimrodel. How could they pose as a threat? * Melyanna said turning her watch towards Haldir.

*You might be right but- *

*And he is an elf of our kindred Haldir. * Melyanna added.

*I will not argue with you Melyanna. I will go down there and meet them, but you will stay here. * Haldir said giving her an intelligent look of triumph.

*But why? * Melyanna asked.

"Because Lothlorien can not afford you getting killed." Haldir said in the Westron tongue. With that Haldir jumped from the trees, this did not surprise the fellowship. They must of heard Melyanna's loud voice, he thought.

Haldir brought the fellowship across the rope bridge and brought them to a stop. (A/N most of you know what happens in between there I just didn't want to explain it.)

"Now I must blindfold the eyes of Gimli the dwarf." Haldir said reaching into his pouch for a blindfold.

"No! No one has told me I must walk blind when I am no spy of the enemy!" Gimli protested.

"It is not my decision it is our law and I am not the keeper of the law." Haldir said back to the flustered dwarf.

"We will all walk blindfolded even Legolas." Aragorn said to end the argument.

"But I am a kinsman here!" Legolas said getting angry in his own turn.

"Ha! I will only go blindfolded if Legolas shares my blindness." Gimli said with a smirk.

"I will cooperate but I will not like it." Legolas said.

"Very well." Haldir said binding the eyes of the company.

Awhile-later Melyanna caught up with Haldir and noticed the blind walkers before them.

*Who are they? * Melyanna whispered ever so softly so the other elf could not hear.

*The fellowship that set out from Imladris. * Haldir answered.

*Then we can take away their blindfolds for a messenger from Imladris sent word to my mother that they mean no harm. * Melyanna informed with a smile.

*Are you sure about this? I do not want to get in trouble. * Haldir replied.

Melyanna rolled her eyes and said, *You need not worry Haldir what I speak is the truth. *

*Very well. Let us start to remove the blindfolds. *

Melyanna walked over to Legolas and reached behind his head and undid the knot Haldir had made. As the cloth fell from his eyes and into her hands Legolas caught a glimpse of sparkle in Melyanna's eyes. He looked at her and his mouth opened slightly at the face of the maiden who had released him of his blindness. She giggled at his expression and placed her fingertips on his chin and pushed up causing his mouth to close.

"I am sorry." He said turning away.

"For what?" Melyanna said playfully.

"For looking at you the way I did it was not right." Legolas said.

Melyanna smiled. "You should not be sorry." She whispered.

"I will see you again." She said as she turned in the direction of Lothlorien.

Legolas looked into the night sky of Lothlorien on one of the tallest mallorn. He could not help thinking about the maiden from earlier. Her face, her hair, her ruby lips, her slender body, and her captivating blue eyes, which he could gaze into forever. He kept on asking himself would he see her again, who is she, and where was she? His thoughts were disrupted by the sound of a maiden's humming.

"Legolas!" She called from below the mallorn. "Legolas do you not want to talk to me again?" She exclaimed again.

"Is it you maiden who is plaguing my thoughts with fantasies?" Legolas said with a grin as he jumped from the last branch.

"Maybe. There are probably many who you fantasize about." She teased.

"There were many I fantasized about, but none of them could compare to you." He said coming up to her.

"You don't even know my name yet you still dream about me in your bed." She laughed.

"And how do you know my name fairest maiden?" Legolas inquired.

"My mother and Haldir both told me." She responded.

"What is your name and who is your mother?" Legolas asked.

"My name is Melyanna and my mother is the Lady Galadriel." Melyanna replied.

"But you are more beautiful then your mother." He whispered.

Melyanna laughed at his comment. "So many others think, but they only look at my face and my body not for the person who is me. Legolas would you say the things you are saying if I was not fair?" She asked.

"Of course." He said.

"Right." She said unbelievably. "Then what else do you like about me?" She said talking a seat on a stone bench nearby.

"I love your eyes how they sparkle in the sun playfully. Your lips how they spread out with joy when you smile. Your voice how it brings soothing thoughts when you talk. And your personality how you speak whatever you want when you want it." He finished.

"Your words are flattering even though I can tell you don't mean them." She said, as she looked down at her lap her smile vanishing.

"Melyanna." He said raising her chin with his hands. "How could you not believe me? How could you not love me?"

"I can't because…"She hesitated. "Because I belong to another."

"Why did you not tell me this?" He asked getting angry at what he was hearing.

"Because I did not think you would get as far as to start loving me." She said.

"Melyanna are you telling me this was a game?" Legolas asked.

"No! No!" Melyanna said quickly.

"I wanted to be your friend nothing more. Then you started talking about how beautiful I was and how you loved me so and I knew it needed to stop." Melyanna finished.

"Melyanna it was not your fault it is mine I should not have kept on telling you these things." Legolas answered.

"Legolas it is not your fault. I don't even love my betrothed." Melyanna added.

"He is your betrothed? Then you have not given yourself to him yet?" He asked.

"Yes." She replied quietly. "But I will be his soon when he returns next month." Legolas turned his head away from her.

"We could keep it a secret. Stay away from him until I come back from the war and you can come with me to Mirkwood." Legolas said turning his head towards her.

"Would that be right?" She asked as he stood up.

"I love you Melyanna and you love me." He said kneeling down before her.

Melyanna smiled. "Our love is secret."

Legolas smiled and pressed his lips to hers and started to caress them. Melyanna put her arms around his neck. Their love would be secret but what they didn't know was someone watched from the balcony above furious.
