A/N: I have decided to skip the rest of their travel to Rivendell because I really want them to get serious when they are in Rivendell.
Some people may be wondering why I am updating chapters so quickly and that is because I am having A LOT of fun writing this story and I really cannot stop writing (even if I does kill my wrists after a while)
Have fun reading this chapter and PLEASE review!
When we arrived in Rivendell, I was amazed. The gardens surrounding the palace were beautiful and covered with sweet-smelling flowers. The outside of the palace was impressive. It had white wash walls and very pretty patters painted and carved into them.
An elf with long brown hair greeted us at the door.
"Lord Elrond, it is good to see you again," Legolas said, bowing and gesturing for me to do the same.
"Legolas, you do not need to bow to me. I am your friend! I have your usual maiden here to tend to you throughout your stay," lord Elrond replied. "Who might you be?" he asked, turning to me.
"I am Cellissel, your highness," I said bowing again.
"She has been wandering around all over the place for about two weeks, looking for Rivendell. I found her and then decided to travel with her as she did not know the way and I was also coming here," Legolas finished for me. Lord Elrond nodded.
"Why do you come on foot? Do you not have horses in Mirkwood?" asked lord Elrond.
"They were either slain or to injured to come as a battle took place right before we left, my lord," Legolas replied.
"I see," was lord Elrond's response. He then turned to me again. "I shall find you a maiden," he said and then called out, "Ailill!"
A small girl with the most beautiful long, brown hair that I have ever seen came running out of the entrance, bowing to Lord Elrond.
"You shall be this girl's maiden until she leaves," he told her. She bowed to him again and he turned and left.
"Follow me, my lady, to your chambers," Ailill said to me.
"Please, call me Cellissel," I replied and followed her.
My chambers were very beautiful and there was an ENORMOUS bed in the middle of the room. There was an adjourning bathroom and a big wardrobe, filled with beautiful dresses.
"I shall draw you bath, my lady, and then leave you to get ready. I shall lay a dress out on your bed for you, for when you get out of the bath," she told me and I nodded and then went into the bathroom. As I stepped into the bath, I could hear her getting a dress out of the wardrobe and putting it on the bed and then I heard the door close.
I relaxed in the hot water, letting it wash over my skin, clearing away the dirt. I then stepped out of the bath, dried myself, went into the main room and put on the dress with Ailill had left out for me. I then started to brush my hair but Ailill came and took the brush out of my hands.
"Please," she said. "Let me."
She started brushing the tangles out of my hair and I was very surprised at how gentle she was. In no time, the tangles were gone completely.
"I shall leave you now," Ailill said to me. "If you need me, please, just shout."
And then she left the room, leaving me alone. I lay back on my bed when I heard a knock at the door.
"Come in," I replied and was a little surprised when Legolas peered around the door.
"Hello. How are your chambers?" he asked me.
"They are very nice, thank you for asking," I replied. He sat there for a moment.
"They are just down the hall from mine," he said. I smiled. "What do we do now?"He asked me suddenly.
"What do you mean?" I said, answering a question with a question.
"Now that we are at Rivendell, what happens to us? Would you like to stay friends or not?" he asked. It hurt a little bit when he called us friends, after everything that has happened to us, I should think we were a little more than friends. I think he may have noticed this because what he said next was a bit of a shock.
"Or maybe something more than friends," he said shyly. He came and sat next to me on the bed, taking my hands in his.
"I meant what I said when I said that I love you," he told me, looking straight into my eyes and I could tell he was telling the truth.
"I meant it when I said it too," I assured him and he smiled and then he leaner closer and closer to me and finally...out lips met.
The kiss was fiery and full of passion and love. Legolas pushed me down on the bed gently, half resting on top of me. He broke the kiss and looked at me for a moment.
Unfortunately, I yawned when he was looking at me.
"You are tired. You must rest," he said and he got up to leave but I took hold of his hand.
"Stay with me," I said and he hesitated for a moment. "Please," I continued. After that, he came and lay down on the bed with me, wrapping his arms around my waist and then like that, well fell asleep.
A/N: nobody else may have noticed, but these chapters are getting smaller and smaller every time in write one. I will try to write and extra long one next time to make up for it.
It is currently 51 minutes past 3 am so I am going to go to sleep. I really hope everyone had a good Christmas and I hope that you all have a good boxing day tomorrow.
Bye, purple5901
