Hi! Long time no see! My hands were practically itching to write again! I'm so sorry for the long wait. Like I said last week, I have been working at a school. Well, at first it had been volunteering, but then I was told that it had been decided I would be paid! Awesome!

Don't worry. I won't be ending this story without finishing it!

Okay! Responses to reviews!

STABBYTHINGS –Hahaha! I really like your reviews! They're very funny and nice! Thank you!

ARANEL MERENETH –I'm sorry you got scared :-O. Please do not hurt me! Lol! I understand about the bothering part. Haha!

xXREBELXROSEXx –Thanks! Sorry I've been kind of slow for replying. I just got a job at a school and it's been taking up a lot of my time! (And those kids have a LOT of energy!)

NO FATE –Thank you! It doesn't end yet! Lol! :-D

HIRILNIN –Thank you for your review! I have already sent you a message (please tell me if you did not receive it), so thank you for your review. It has been extremely helpful!

PUPPET WHITE –Thank you for your review! I have to admit it's been really hard, changing my usual writing habits, but you've helped me become more aware of whatever I'm writing. Usually I just turn on some music and start writing without a thought. So, thanks! (I think I sent you a message, but tell me if you did not receive it)

KSKS –Thanks! Yes! I have updated. Lol! Finally! I always tell myself to update soon, but it's always reviews like yours that makes me really update…not myself…which is not good. Lol! So, thanks again!

Sorry if I missed someone! Also, I have updated my profile page. So, if you want to know a little more about me, just check my profile.

On with the story!

Glorfindel's glow seemed to warm Adlanniel from head to toe. Adlanniel stared at him in awe, eyes wide. Adlanniel suddenly felt weak and vulnerable under the gaze of the elf. She smiled tersely back and started fidgeting with her hands to avoid looking into Glorfindel's eyes. They seemed to see right through her.

A hand suddenly covered Adlanniel's comfortingly. She looked up and smiled, this time, a real one. All her nervousness seemed to fly away as Legolas smiled back in a reassuring way. However, Adlanniel noticed a look of worry behind his smile.

"I come from Rivendell. After hearing the news of your adar and naneth's deaths, I rode as quickly as I could," Glorfindel said sadly. "Your adar and I, we fought through many battles together."

Adlanniel looked at Glorfindel curiously. "Oh? My adar never spoke much about his friends and family. We….we had an extremely private life. We lived in the forest of Greenwood."

"I just arrived when I was told of your condition. I was surprised to hear that Aeroniel and Meldiron had a child. Many had assumed your adar and naneth dead after they fled from the palace of Greenwood and never returned." His eyes bored into Adlanniel's. This time, however, she did not look away from him. She stared back at him steadily without revealing any of her own emotions.

"Why did they have to flee?" she asked. Her eyes pierced Glorfindel's as if he was nothing other than a mere elfling.

"Your naneth and adar met as they were travelling back to Greenwood from Lothlorien. However, they did not become friends in the way one usually would."

"What do you mean?" said Adlanniel, surprised. Usually people became friends through normal conversations. There was no other way of making friends.

Glorfindel smiled at her as she continued to stare at him, expressionless, though her heart was filled with curiosity and suspicion. "You naneth," said Glorfindel, "became lonely after some time of journeying. Many were too busy to talk to her, since they needed to return to Greenwood as quickly as they could. News came to Lothlorien that darkness was spreading throughout Greenwood's forests. So, instead of coaxing other elves to talk to her, your naneth decided to write a letter on a piece of paper. In this letter, she wrote about her experiences and feelings as she traveled with the elves of Greenwood. She let go of the letter, making it fly with the wind while hoping that no one would find it. However, Meldiron found it. He told me that it did not take long to figure out that the letter was Aeroniel's," Glorfindel said with a laugh.

Adlanniel smiled. She suddenly realized her hand was gripped tightly around Legolas'. She tried loosening her grip, but could only succeed with jerking her fingers. A larger hand covered hers. She looked up to find Legolas smiling comfortingly as he gently held her hand. Adlanniel relaxed. Her body that had been frozen in such a tense and uncomfortable position ceased its slow torture as she straightened her back and leaned against her pillow.

"From then on," Glorfindel continued, not noticing the small exchange between the prince and the elleth, "you parents continued exchanging letters. Your naneth had no idea whom it was she was writing to. Meldiron slowly fell for your naneth. Aeroniel too fell for Meldiron through his letters; however, she didn't know whom she was falling for."

"How could they simply fall in love through letters?" Adlanniel asked.

"That….uh….…I do not know." Glorfindel smiled apologetically. Adlanniel laughed, but stopped abruptly when the sharp pain in her stomach and back arose once again. She winced and tightened her fingers around Legolas' hand.

"What's wrong?" Legolas asked, rising from his seat.

"My stomach…..and back hurts," Adlanniel said.

"The healer left some herbs for your pain," said Legolas. "Shall I brew some for you?"

"Yes, please," said Adlanniel. Legolas let go of her hands. Adlanniel clutched her hands together to prevent herself from grabbing Legolas again.

"Adlanniel," said Glorfindel, suddenly coming closer. Adlanniel's eyes widened with surprise. "Have you already met your father's sister? Her name is Menelwen."

"Yes I have met her. I met her…..some days ago. It's weird," Adlanniel said with a laugh. "I feel like I've been here for a while."

Glorfindel smiled. "I understand. That was how I felt when I first arrived in Rivendell."

"Ah….I was a bit confused when you said you were from Rivendell. Your features said something different. I would have thought you were from Greenwood," said Adlanniel, grinning.

"Glorfindel is practically infamous for being the only light haired elf who resides with Lord Elrond and his family," said Legolas jokingly as he gave Adlanniel a cup of tea. He held onto Adlanniel's hand again. She stared at their clasped hands before Legolas became aware of her gaze and withdrew his hand. Adlanniel noticed his ears turning a slight pink color through the corner of her eyes.

"Really?"

"Uh…sure," said Glorfindel uncomfortably.

"Many thought you were from Lothlorien," said Legolas. "Many of my father's advisors asked me when and why you arrived from Lothlorien."

Adlanniel's mouth dropped open with surprise. There was a moment of awkward silence before Glorfindel's strong voice pierced the air.

"Adlanniel, I had come to ask you one question." Adlanniel looked at Glorfindel, her eyes telling him to go on. "Your adar asked me before he fled with your naneth to take care of whatever or whomever he left behind until we met again. So, I am here to ask you if you would like to come and live with me in Rivendell."

Both of the golden haired elves stared at Adlanniel with anticipation. Glorfindel's eyes seemed to urging her to accept his offer; however, he was smiling kindly. Legolas did not show any emotions from his face. His eyes seemed to be pleading for something. Adlanniel did not know what message Legolas was trying to send her.

"Yes. I would very much like to go to Rivendell with you," said Adlanniel with a large grin. Little did she know that a certain prince had washed every single emotion from each and every feature from his face, including his eyes.

"Excellent."
