Okay so this update took a lot longer than I had expected and for that, I apologise. I know that the update took a while, and it doesn't help that the chapter is shorter too. But despite this, I hope you like it and I hope you review. Thanks!

Thanks to the reviewers:

The Last Rose of Summer Chapter 11

Natalia stood beside Legolas, in the proper stance and place, and held her bow like Aragorn had shown her. Legolas had told her that he wanted to see what she could go, and what she still had to work on, giving Natalia the impression that she was to stand how Aragorn had told her.

"Your feet are placed too far apart; you need to move your feet closer." Natalia heard Legolas tell her and, because she didn't understand why he was telling her this, she turned and asked him.

"Aragorn was telling me how I was supposed to stand and hold the bow. Are you saying that he's wrong?" Natalia was confused by Legolas's instructions and she couldn't see why it was wrong, nor could she imagine why.

"Aragorn is a great teacher, he really is, but he is much taller than you and his stance needs to be different. You are much smaller than him, so your stance doesn't need to be as wide." Natalia nodded at Legolas's instructions, and she quickly adjusted her stance to the correct width.

"That's good now hold your bow comfortably..." Natalia head him walking behind her and she started to fidget under his gaze. His gaze, unlike Aragorn's, made her nervous and uncomfortable, especially when he was so close to her.

"That's good milady. Now keep your eye on the target, aim and fire." Natalia drew her hand back and let go of her arrow and she watched it fly, hitting the target that Legolas had set. A smile graced itself upon her lips and with a cry of excitement; she jumped around and faced Legolas excited.

"I hit it! I hit the target!" She smiled at Legolas, and saw an excited look flash across his face for a moment. She smiled and turned back around, to look at her arrow.

"That was good. But you will still need a lot of practice." Natalia nodded and she walked over to the target that was placed and pulled her arrow out of it. She held it tightly in her hand and began making her way back over to Legolas, deep in thought.

She hadn't really thought of her ex lately or how he made her feel when he cheated. She really hadn't even thought about why she was so upset that he had cheated on her. She wasn't entirely sure these thoughts had suddenly disappeared and left her alone, but she wasn't complaining.

"Are you alright? Lady Natalia?" Natalia shook her head and got rid of all of her thoughts and smiled at Legolas, keeping up her happy thoughts and attitude.

Legolas stood behind Natalia watching her form and the way she held her bow in her hands. The way she was holding herself and the bow was good, but her stance was too wide. The stance and the way her feet were placed, from what she had told him, was the way that Aragorn held a bow, and he had been quick to fix that.

After he had told her to fix her stance, he saw her entire body relax more than it had been, even if she didn't realize it. He saw her hold the bow in a more relaxed way, and she seemed more confident in herself.

"That was good, but you still need a lot of practice." Legolas told her, keeping his voice kind and patient. She wasn't the best archer that he had ever come across but she reminded him of a child that was learning. They were clumsy and unsure of themselves at first, but as they practiced more, they had gotten stronger in their abilities.

He looked at her when he didn't get a reply and he seen her holding the arrow in her hand, with a look of deep thought on her face. He didn't know what she was thinking about, but every once in a while, he would see, what was either, anger or confusion flash across her face.

"Are you alright? Lady Natalia?" Legolas asked her gently, hoping that whatever she was thinking about was not causing her too much anguish, as he considered her to potentially be a very good friend.

Legolas was curious about her, and he considered her to be a very interesting elf maiden. He was curious about where she came from and he was also curious about her family and who they were. He had been talking to Aragorn, and he had said that when he found her, she had no idea that she was an elf. This led him to believe that she was either kidnapped from her home, or it was destroyed.

"I'm fine." Legolas heard Natalia tell him before she put the arrow away and began walking away from him. Legolas didn't know if he had been staring at her too long and offended her, or if he had given her a look that he wasn't supposed to.

"What is that?" Legolas did not turn his head when he heard one of the hobbits speaking, nor did he turn his head when he heard the dwarf talking. He kept his attention on the sound and the clump of black objects flying towards them.

"It's moving fast, against the wind." Legolas continued to stare at the clump until he realized what it was and how much danger they were in.

"Crebain from Dunland!" Legolas turned and warned everyone what was coming before he ran over to Natalia, ready to grab her and help her hide, but he found that she had dove under a rock by Aragorn.

He himself had dove behind a rock and pressed himself against the rock, watching and hearing the birds fly over them, looking for any sign of them or the ring. He knew that they were spies and that they would stop at nothing to find them.

"What were those things?" Legolas turned his attention towards Lady Natalia and then he turned his attention towards Gandalf.

"Spies of Soromon. The passage south is being watched. We must take the pass of Caradhras." Legolas tore his attention away from Gandalf, and he turned it back to lady Natalia, gauging her reaction.

He saw her eyebrows furrowed and look at the same spot that Gandalf was staring at. He saw some concern and fear flash through her eyes, before they really turned back to normal.

Legolas knew that he was curious about her but beyond his curiosity; he didn't know why she was gripping his attention. She was a very beautiful elf maiden, he would not deny that, but he knew that her looks, and his curiosity, weren't the only thing keeping her attention. It was something other than that, and it was really tugging on his mind.

'There's something about her that's tugging on my mind, something that seems like it should be very obvious.' Legolas gathered up all of his things and he joined the rest of the fellowship, keeping a safe distance between lady Natalia and himself.

Authors Note:

Sorry about the long wait, and the short chapter. I really need to get better at the whole updating and making longer chapters' thing. But here is a brand new chapter, and while it is short, I hoped you like it and I hoped you review. Thanks!
