Chapter 15: A First Kiss
Marcie and Legolas walked back to the palace almost in complete silence. Once in a while one of them would make a comment about things, and the other would just nod or agree. "Hmm, I wonder why he isn't talking very much," thought Marcie. "Did I do something wrong?" Finally, they reached the outskirts of the palace. "Well, here we are," said Marcie. Legolas nodded, cleared his throat and said, "Well um, thank you for walking back with me, Amor..I mean, Marcie." As he turned to walk away, Marcie said, "Legolas!" He turned around, to which Marcie said, "Um…why do you always call me Amorfiwiel?" He gave her a funny look and said, "Well that is your name, is it not?" Slightly embarrassed, she replied, "Well, it is, but…you don't call me Marcie like everyone else. I just wanted to know why." There was a brief pause, then Legolas said, "It is such a beautiful name, that's why. And well, Marcie is a nice name and all, but I like your elfish name better. Besides, you are an elf!" At that he gave her his warmest smile ever, and at that moment, Marcie couldn't contain herself anymore, and neither could Legolas. The force was too strong on either side. Marcie ran up to him, nearly pouncing on him, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. At first taken aback by surprise, Legolas placed both of his hands on her face, but then kissed back in return. It was the most beautiful feeling in the world for Marcie. She could have died right then and there. Just then, Marcie felt something solid against her back. She opened her eyes and realized that he had backed her into a tree! 'Whoa, slow down there Legol… wait a minute, what am I thinking?!' she thought, and continued kissing him. His kisses were becoming more and more passionate, and he simply couldn't keep his hands off of her. As this went on, a small figure was watching from behind a bush. It was Mary, Princess Leandra's evil servant. "Oh no, Prince Legolas is with another woman. I must tell Leandra!" she said. Just as quietly as she had come, she ran back to the palace. She found Princess Leandra in her room, brushing her hair. "Princess Leandra, Princess Leandra!" Mary cried. "Mary, what is it?" she asked, putting down her brush. "It's…it's…", she said, out of breath. "It's what? What is it?!" cried Leandra. "It's Prince Legolas! He was with another woman! And, and….they were kissing!" Leandra placed her hand over her heart and gasped. "Mary, you must take me to where you saw them, right away!" And with that they ran out of the room.
Meanwhile, Marcie and Legolas were still going at it, both of their hair and clothes rightly messed up, when Marcie suddenly broke his kiss. "Legolas," she said, panting for air, trying to get the elf to stop kissing her. "Yes my love, what is it?" he asked, kissing her on her neck and cheek. "Legolas, we really should stop, I don't think…..oh, nevermind!" she cried and continued kissing him. Suddenly, there was a rustle in the bushes. They quickly stopped and looked towards it. "Maybe we um, should stop," he said, backing away and fixing his hair and clothes. Marcie, who was doing the same, said, "Yes, it would be wise if you went back now, you father will probably be worried." Marcie was still leaning against the tree. She had to catch her breath after what just happened. "Well then, I guess I'll um…see you later then…" He walked up and gave her a kiss, then another, and another till they were back in the same situation. "No go, please," she said with a laugh. "Alright alright!" he cried. "Good bye, my love," He paused, looked at her and smiled, and then walked off. Still breathing rather hard and fast, Marcie said to herself, "I can't believe that just happened! Oh my gosh, I have to tell Colby!" she said with a laugh. She got up and started to walk back towards the hut. Slowly and carefully, Mary and Leandra rose up from the bushes. Leandra had a look of hatred and evil on her face. "So what you said was true, Mary," she said. Mary slowly looked at her and said, "Yes princess…what shall we do now?" Leandra, her gaze still fixed on where Marcie and Legolas were, said, "We wait…then, we strike! And I think I know just how to do it." She slowly gave an evil smile and said, "Come, we go back to the palace, there is to be held an important supper tonight, and I'm sure the prince will be there." Before they left, Mary asked, "Princess, did you know who that girl was?" "No," she replied, "but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough."
