Legolas' Sweetheart

Chapter 3

Lindariel POV

Lindariel sat in her room, waiting for Celeborn to come in and punish her. So far, no one dared to enter her room while she was still fuming about that evening. How dare he accuse her of the idea of marriage! For all she knew it could have been his idea.

She sat on her bed, trying to get over the events that had occurred that day. The sun was slowly descending in the distance behind that trees that seemed to guard Lorien. She was growing tired and was ready to go to bed when Galadriel walked into her room.

"Milady, what brings you here I expected Lord Celeborn to come."

She smiled sweetly, "I came in his place. I wanted to talk to you instead of Lord Celeborn. I think it's appropriate that I talk to you about this evening." She sat beside Lindariel. Her beauty was enchanting even when darkness was near. "Why are you and Legolas so resentful to each other? You have just met him. I cannot imagine that he was rude in any way. He is known for being a gentleman you know."

"I'm sorry milady but… but," her eyes were at the floor. She was so embarrassed. What if Haldir had heard her? She enjoyed being with Haldir when he wasn't at the borders and would not want him to think ill of her. "I do not wish to marry Legolas."

"Oh, so you have figured this out have you? That all makes sense now."

"That was what you were planning weren't you?"

"Yes, but we never thought you would have figured it out. We thought that you would become close on your own." Galadriel looked deeply in Lindariel's eyes. "You still miss them don't you? I know you miss your father and mother. Merilwen was so kind her name fits her; she was just as wonderful and as beautiful as a rose. She was a wonderful sister-in-law and I miss her greatly, and Finrod, you must remember he was my brother and I too miss him. Perhaps you will be more open to the idea of Legolas as your husband in a couple of years." Galadriel was waiting for Lindariel to speak.

"I suppose, but he's already made it clear he does not like me, and how could I forgive him in showing me my faults? Is that how gentlemen act in Mirkwood?"

"No, that is not how they act and remember, he was not expecting to come here to set up a marriage. As for your faults..." Galadriel touched Lindariel's cheek. "Your beauty is shownon the outside and inside. He is just in denial about it. You look more and more like your parents everyday."

Lindariel looked away. She was ashamed of her behavior. Tears filled her eyeswith the memory of her parents. Galadriel lifted Lindariel's chin so that she was able look into her eyes. "Edro gûr lín," (Open your heart). With that said, Galadriel got up and walked to the door to leave.

"Milady?"

Galadriel turned around, "Yes?"

"Hannon le." (Thank you) Galadriel nodded and walked out. Lindariel started to cry. She laid down letting her tears rock her to sleep.

Legolas POV

Darkness was closing in. Legolas was growing weary, and was ready for sleep until his father walked in. King Thranduil walked in. "Can I sit down?"

"Of course," said Legolas, now on his feet to show respect to his father. King Thranduil sat down in the chair in the corner.

"Sit down my son." He pointed to the chair beside him. Legolas sat down. "Now, please explain to me why you were so rude to the kind Lindariel."

"I would hardly call her kind," he muttered.

"Why do you say that? She seems very kind, and I am not the only one who will tell you that either."

"She wasn't very kind to me especially when...especially when," he didn't want to tell him he knew.

"Especially what?"

"Especially when we found out that you and everyone else is planning our WEDDING!" He was furious. He didn't want to be, but he was.

"Well, you found out," his voice was calm, "Impressive. We were curious how long it was going to take you to figure it out."

"Why didn't you tell me in the first place? I would not be as mad as I am, and I wouldn't have been so cruel to Lindariel. Even though she's not the right one."

"Really? How do you know she's not the right one? For all you know she could be the one."

"When I first met her, something in the pit of my stomach did something that no other elleth has made my stomach do. I'm sure that the thing is dislike. Besides she is not a Mirkwood elleth." Said Legolas with sincerity.

"True, she is not a Mirkwood elleth, but she still deserves respect, even from you Prince Legolas. You never know Legolas, she might be a woman even better than the ones in Mirkwood. The thing in the pit of your stomach could be interpreted as a liking or interest in her. You must give her a chance."

"Yes father, but I think it's a little to late for that. She must hate me for the things I said to her. Besides, I would have given her a chance if you told me you were setting up a marriage for us."

"Would you Legolas? Would you have given her the time of day for her to talk to you? Or would be furious even then about the idea of a marriage being set up for you. You were never the one who liked being ordered around you know."

Legolas looked down at his feet. His father was right he wouldn't let her near him if he knew about it. If he didn't know before he had even spoken to her he probably would have talked, laughed, and even flirt with her. But now she would hate him, as he thought he hated her.

His espression must have she becuase his fater said, "Give her time. Soon she will be able to forgive you. Your mother and I think it's best that we leave tomorrow. We have discussed the events that have happened in the past few years, and maybe we'll be back soon. Well, you need your rest. Good night." Without another word, he left.

Legolas thought about what his father said. You must give her a chance. Perhaps he was right. Maybe he should give her a chance. But now, he was tired, and wished to go to bed. He would think about their conversation tomorrow. He laid on the beduntil deep sleep came over him.

Lindariel POV

The next morning, Lindariel got up to the sound of somebody entering her room. "Lindariel?" The mysterious person wispered. "Are you awake?"

"Yes Arwen, and thank you for waking me up." Lindariel said in a sarcastic tone. She look at Arwen who was now blushing.

"Milady asked me to wake you," she sat at the edge of Lindariel's bed. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," she replied, only half believing herself. She knew it was a lie, but she didn't want Arwen to be worried. "Tell me, how did you like Aragorn?"

A smile crept on to Arwen's face. "He is so nice, and kind, gentle. Even if he is a mortal. I really like him. Do you think he likes me?"

"He would be a fool not to like you." Lindariel wanted to laugh at the silly face Arwen was making. "I must go ready myself. I have to be there when the King and Queen leave."

"Of course Lindariel," said Arwen. "Lindariel? Are you sure you're okay? You look a little distraught."

"I'm fine Arwen." Giving her a smile. "You better say your good-bye's to Aragorn. For I heard he was leaving with Legolas."

"You're right he is. I will say my good-bye's to himafterIput on something nicer." Arwen left closing the door behind her.

Lindariel got up and put on an emerald green dress. It had gold lining the outsides of the dress. Then she put on the heart necklase that her mother gave her. It was silver andcould bebroken ifshe wished. The necklase was forwho ever she loved and when they were far apart one of the peices would go to him. She kept her hair down. Blonde spiraly curls rested on her shoulders.

She left her room heading for the front entrance. She saw Galadriel and Queen Estelwen talking and saying their good-bye's to each other. King Thanduil was talking with Celeborn about a distant city in the east. Legolas was standing patiently with his father trying to seem interested in what they were saying.

"Ah, Lindariel. I have been here for a day and yet you have not come to see me. I brought you a book from the south. I though might like it but I've been feeling so neglected I do not know if Ishould give it to you."

"Gandalf!" Lindariel turned around and flung her arms around him. "Oh Gandalf I've missed you so! Tell me about your adventures.I so do wish to hear them."

Aragorn was behind him obviously amused by how childish she was acting. But know one saw Aragorn slip away from all the excitement and into the woods.

"I will tell you everything but right now Aragorn is going to go with Legolas to spend a few weeks in Mirkwood. My you look much older than the last time I saw you."

"Oh Gandalf don't flatter me."

"Oh but Lindariel you are much more older than before." Elrond came up behind her. "Lindariel, have my daughter? I cannot find her."

"I'm sure she's in good hands,"said Gandalf with a smirk on his face.

"Aragornneeds to stay away from my daughter. My future for my daughter looks bleak if she lingers with him."

"He is a good man. He is trustworthy he won't do anything to bring to disgrace to you." Said Gandalf.

"I know he is a good man but he is still mortal and there will be much sadness in Arwen if she pursue's withthis... this human."

Gandalf look at him. "Don't you think she is old enough to make her own decisions? Don't control her life forever."

Elrond only nodded and walked away. "Do you think there's a future for Arwen and Aragorn?"

"I believe anything is possible." Said Gandalf. "Know matter how absurbed it sounds."

Arwen POV

She waited silently in Galadriel's garden waiting for him to come. Where was he? She was getting worried, she liked him so much. He would not say that he wished to meet her and here and not show up? She heard someone coming up the stairway. I sigh of relief came over her when she saw Aragorn.

"Arwen," he said almost in a whisper. He just stared at her.

"What is Aragorn? Do you not like what I am wearing? I wore this when we first met remember? It was last year in mid fall." She wore a dark red gown. She wore the evenstar around her neck.

"Its nothing of that its just you look more radiant everytime I see you."

"Oh Aragorn," they embraced each other. "Everytime you have to leave me I think that we will never see each other again."

Aragorn pulled away from her. "Why do think that my love? You know I would never leave in body or in spirit,life or in death." He smiled. "I remeber when you wouldn't even acknowledge me. Do you remember? It was in Rivendell when we first met."

"Of course. How could I forget.It took twenty-nine years for me to finally take notice of you. I'm sorry for making you wait so long.

He put his big arms around her again. "Its okay you wereworth the wait." He kissed her then pulled away. "Do thinkyour father knows aboutus?"

"I don't know," said Arwen. "He might."

"We will have to tell him soon. I do not like lying to your father."

"Neither do I. Soon we will tell him and soon we will be together." She brought her hand to his and he held it.

"Do you tell Lindariel or is she in the dark about us as Legolas is?"

"Do not think she knows. She thinks that I just took notice of you in the garden yesterday." She started to laugh. "Legolas and Lindariel would be good for each other don't you think?"

"Yes they would be perfect of each other. But Legolas is to stuborn and Lindariel is to proud. Everyone knows but them."

"Someday they will like each other. I over heard Galadriel and Queen Estelwen talking. They will come back to Lothorien in ten years." Aragorn just stared at her. "What is it?"

"Melin ceni hin lîn síla i 'eladhach," (I love to see your eyes shine when you laugh) he said.

"We must leave my father will be looking for me." Dissapointed Aragorn agreed. They walked until that could see the Mirkwood party.

"We must stop here so they do not see us," he turned around and looked at Arwen.

"Elenath hîlar nan hâd gîn," (May all stars shine upon your path) Arwen said.

"Belain na le," (May the Valar keep you) He smiled at her and brought her into his armsandkissed her. "You will wait for me to return will you not?"

"Of course Aragorn. I'll wait for you as long as you wish. I will also tell my father aboutus."

"I'm glad to here that. Be careful my love there are many dangers and I would be crushed to here that you are dead."

"Oh Aragorn you know that I can take care of myself. As for you, you face much more danger than I ever will."

"The reason that I am still alive is because I think of you. You save me from death." He hugged her then broke away from her. "We must go. They are looking for us." Arm in arm they walked back.

Lindariel POV

Arwen and Aragorn returned together. Aragorn went to jointhe Mirkwood party.

"Thank you for inviting us in your woods." Said Queen Estelwen.

"You're welcome," said Galadriel. Then both women embraced then parted. "Legolas, it has been an honor to meet you and I'm looking forward into meeting you again someday soon."

"I to milady."

Both Galadriel and Celeborn looked at Lindariel. It was her turn. She went up and curtsied to the King and Queen. "Good-bye, it has been a honor to meet you."

"As you my child," said Queen Estelwen

"Someday we will meet again," said King Thranduil.

Lindariel looked at Legolas. His eyes looked kinder. Was this some trick or was he trying to say sorry?

"Namarie Lindariel," (Farewell Lindariel) his voice was kind and gentle.

"Namarie Legolas," (Farewell Legolas) she curtsied and he bowed. They looked at each other Lindariel was trying to see deeper into those eyes and know longer did she anger but kindness. How could she ever that he was cruel or mean? His eyes were nice to look at she could have done it all day. But she looked away know that they could never be together. They were to different. Granted they only just met yesterday but she new that they were different and should not try to pursue an unfruitful relationship.

"I melain berio le," (May the Valar keep you) said Celeborn.

"And you," said King Thranduil. Then with out another word they left. Suddenly Lindariel was sad to see them leave. Confused she went to her cousin Arwen to ask about Aragorn.

As I was saying.Thank you for your kind reviews AraelMoonchild, Elfluver13, Agent047, Luvthefluff, Child of the Seine, and Myri78.

As for the rest of you this is my first fanfic give me a break! Thank you that you wish me luck and I respect you judgement but in this chapter I tryed to clear up some questions. As for the elvish ITS A MADE-UP LANGUAGE! Its not real and half the people if they do know it don't care or if they do it doesn't matter. Yes, I am young thanx for pointing that out. Well thanx for the reviews and if some of you are trying to tear me down well guess what, I'm not that easy to break. So give up. Some of probably think I'm some ditzy blonde. Well I'm not I actually am the complete opposite. Laughing so preppy is so stupid and a waste of perfectly good energy. Thanx for the critisism but leave the ridiculous things out.

Faithful and True,
