A Song in the Wind
Chapter 2 : Laertes
************************************
The Elvish minstrels made the sweet music with the melodious voice of the bards blending into magnificent symphony. Glorfindel enjoyed the sweet music along with the nice conversation with Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel. Moreover, he enjoyed looking at Lady Lermia who was sitting in the middle of the bards and singing with the nice clear voice. It seemed that his heart was drifting along the rhythm and the sweet voice.
A moment later, they heard the voice echoed from below and Lermia stopped her song and stood up at once. She turned her face to the entrance of the hall just in time Haldir walked inside and bowed in front his Lords.
"The hunters are back, my lord," Haldir said and was about to laugh when he noticed Lermia happy face.
With great desire to see her lover, Lermia almost ran to meet him as fast as she could but she still remembered that she was before her Lord and Lady. She turned to Galadriel and was about to ask her permission. Before any word passed her lips, Galadriel smiled back and nodded her head as if she knew so well what Lermia wanted to say. Many days now, she noticed, Lermia's heart was flying to someone, somewhere far in the woods.
When Lermia received her Lady's permission, she ran to the door immediately, leaving Lord Celeborn with his brows knitting.
"I wonder whether you ever acted like this, my lady," said Celeborn and turning his face to see his dear wife. Galadriel did not answer but looked back into his eyes with a sweet smile planted her fair face. Celeborn reached his hand and held his wife's hands close to his heart.
Glorfindel glanced at his friends and smiled, their love never changed. Lord Elrond and Lady Celebrian were also a couple that he deeply felt jealous. Even the great sea made a distance but he knew that Elrond never loved Celebrian less. Long years had passed, his friends met their soul mate, only him who was still being alone.
Even now, he finally met an elf maiden who unintentionally enchanted his heart by her voice, but she was not free. By looking how happy she was when her lover was back, she might love him with all her heart.
The more Glorfindel thought, the more he felt a pain growing inside his heart. Only Haldir's voice echoed in his mind, 'I see her in your eyes.'
************************************
Lermia ran down the stair of the tall mellyrn trees. Her golden hair flowed in the wind of her speed. When she finally reached the ground, she did not stop but continued running as fast as her heart fled. Many days without being together, her heart was in pain with the though of him.
At that time, Lermia was not careful enough about her way. She stumbled over the root and was about to fall. Before she hit the ground, she was pulled into familiar strong arms.
"Be careful, my Lermia!" The low voice scolded at her ears but Lermia remembered so well that this is Laertes.
"I'm sorry," Lermia said with soft voice, felt hurt to get scold from him. "But I want to meet you as fast as I can. You never leave me alone this long."
Laertes laughed loudly and raised her face by his finger, "Ah, we don't meet each other for many days, let me see your face." Laertes looked dearly at Lermia who smiled sweetly in return. Every time when he looked at her, with her body trembled in his arms, he loved to wash away her nervousness by his kiss.
"You look weary, would you like to eat something before taking rest?" Lermia asked Laertes after he removed his lips from hers.
"I want to eat you." Laertes murmured softly but enough to make Lermia's face turned pink.
"You're always kidding me," Lermia pushed herself away from Laertes and held his hand. "Come, Laertes, before the good fruits are all gone."
Laertes smiled to his lover before letting her lead him the way up to the hall.
************************************
Glorfindel was amazed to see Lermia and a stranger elf entering the hall together. His concern was not who that elf was. It was obvious that this was Laertes, Lermia's lover. But to his wonder was Laertes himself that caught his eyes.
Laertes was fair with long black hair liked a night sky without any star, quite different from other elves in Lorien. He got dark eyes that matched perfectly well with his hair. He was tall and broad. Even he wore a shirt, covered with a tunic, Glorfindel could sense the masculine body under that robes.
And this is Laertes who got Lermia's heart!
Silent jealousy grew inside the Elven lord when he saw Laertes and Lermia being together, holding hands and whispering something to each other without noticing the world around them.
Glorfindel managed to break his eyes from the couple when Haldir questioned him about Imladris. That helped him turned his thought away from them, for a little while.
************************************
Laertes noticed the stranger elf since he entered the hall. He was sure that he never met this elf before. He should be more careful. Everything had been planned, nothing could be changed at all costs.
"Laertes, are you alright? Is that pear too sweet?", asked Lermia with her eyes full of concerns.
Then, Laertes wore his unseen mask, "Nothing, I'm just wondering ... ", He turned to Glorfindel who was talking with Haldir and his brothers, "Lermia, who is he?", he made his voice indifferently but actually, he paid his attention to the answer.
"Lord Glorfindel of Imladris, he will stay here for a while. Haldir told me that he is a best archer and great warrior of Gondolin. The young wardens are so excited to his presence." answered Lermia without noticing the change in Laertes' face.
"You seem to appreciate him too much, my Lermia," Laertes turned his face to Lermia. "I don't like this, your eyes should lay upon me, only me, not other elves!". His voice rose with anger.
"I'm sorry, my dear Laertes, I don't mean to . " Lermia's voice shook with fear.
Laertes smiled back kindly and held her hands, "I don't want you to look at other elves. I easily get jealous, as you know. It hurts my heart badly, enough to break my soul and steal my life away,"
"Laertes, if anything make you upset, I won't do," said Lermia.
"Yes, my Lermia," He grinned. His voice stressed on 'my' to warn his lover. He felt sure that Lermia would keep her words except that Elven Lord would interest in Lermia. Laertes swore that he would never let this happened. Lermia was only his possession and he won't fail his plan.

Thank you for your kind reviews.
Curedhel : Thank you for your kind comments. I'm glad to know that we fall in love with the same elf. Well, sometime, it's hard for Asian people (like me) to write something in English caused we're afraid of mistakes and errors.
Lady of Legolas : Thank you!! I hope you will enjoy the later chapter as well.
nangoing : I try to update as fast as I can. It's nice to see our dear Glorfindel falling in love.
