I know I have been uploading this story very slowly, but I'm working on two more stories in the same time and I just got an idea for fourth, so I cannot do it all in the same time. I almost finished this one, all I have to do now is update it regularly. I still haven't come up with the end, I hope I will soon! I hope you'll like it! Thanks for the nice reviews!

Chapter 11
The misunderstanding(s)
Few days later they already stood in front of the Imrahil's castle in Dol Amroth. The gates were closed. Turin looked at her as if he wanted to ask her what they should do.
"I don't know." She said although she wasn't asked.
"Is there a way we could call for your cousins?" He asked.
"I don't know. We need to pass these guards first." She showed him the two guards standing next to the gate.
"What are we waiting for then?" He said and went to the guards. Nessa followed him, but she knew that it won't be easy, passing them.
"I'm sorry, but how do you even think I would believe you are really lady Nessa. Look at you, look at your clothes. A real lady would never wear that. I don't think you are related to prince in any way." The guard said.
Nessa was offended by that. Her clothes were dirty because of the long travel they had. But she was silent while Turin argued with the guards.
"You will be sorry if the prince hears you didn't let his niece trough."
"If you don't go away, we will be forced to remove you ourselves."
"But I really am Nessa. I have to speak to my cousins, please. Let us in." She spoke at last, but it didn't change the situation.
But in that moment, the gates were opened anyway, from the inside. Someone was going out.
It was a young man on a white horse. He looked like an elf, but he wasn't one.He greeted the guards and looked at the two strangers. One of the guards spoke to him and called him Elphir.
When she heard that name, Nessa smiled. She recognized the man.
"Cousin Elphir!" She yelled and the young man looked at her astonished.
"What did you say?" He asked.
"It's me. Nessa!"
"Did you have any problems with these people? Who are they anyway?" Elphir asked the guards.
"She claims to be your cousin, my lord. We shall remove them this instant!"
"Don't!" Elphir ordered and came down of his horse.
He walked to Nessa.
"Be careful sir! You never know with these tramps. She could bite you!"
Turin wanted to strangle the guard that said that, but he was able to control himself in the last moment.
Elphir moved away the hood from Nessa's head and smiled.
"It really is you! I haven't seen you for ages!" He hugged his cousin.
"See, I told you. I guess someone will lose his job now." Turin said to the guard.
"I need your help, Elphir." Nessa said seriously.
"Come in. We'll go to my father. He will be happy to see you. I'm o sorry I didn't recognize you, Ness."
"Didn't you just plan to go somewhere?" She asked him.
"It can wait. Is this man with you?" He was talking about Turin.
"Yes. He is my friend. His name is Turin."
"Turin? Turin of Lebennin?" Elphir was surprised because he has already heard of him.
"Nice to meet you." Turin said while shaking hands.
"I heard a lot about you and your father. And Nessa, I also heard you are getting married soon. Now I remember they told me you will marry someone from Lebennin. So, congratulations."
"Oh no. It was all a misunderstanding. I was supposed to marry his father. But I ran away as you can see." Nessa explained.
"You ran away with his son?"
"Yes. No. I mean not with him but with his help. It's complicated."
"I see. But you always were complicated, as far as I can remember." Elphir smiled. "Anyway you can stay here as much as you wish."
"Thank you. You don't know how happy I am for being here." She said and looked at Turin. "And what about you. Do you regret anything?"
"No. I must admit that I have never felt this free before."
He said and they went to see Imrahil.
