Chapter Four: Lust that might turn to Dust



I didn't leave that night, something pulled at my heart not to leave. That something that pulled at my heart was Legolas. I wanted to stay and get to know him. But I knew I was falling for him, and I knew it wasn't something I should do but he took my heart. It was two days after that night of the dinner party. Legolas was going to teach me Archery for the first time, so I can learn how to fight when danger was near or I needed too. Aragorn gave me a Bow and arrows for a gift. Which I truly adored so much, I never thought of what a gift. Putting on the tunic that I had gotten for my wardrobe. And putting my hair back in a low half pony tail. I put my quiver on and ran out my room to go meet Legolas at the garden. I arrived just in time. I smiled at him, and he smiled back. "Are you ready my love Saderiendra?" He asked taking my hand in his and putting it to his face then to his lips. "I am ready." "Let's go quick, dusk is soon, we don't want to miss supper." "Okay."

I started laughing when I kept missing the spot that I was supposed to hit. "I can not do this Prince Legolas, I am not good." "Please call me Legolas." I looked at him with sparkle in my eyes. "Okay, Legolas." "It takes time to learn not must elves learn it like that." " I feel silly, I just don't think I'm made for Archery." He smiled and came behind me. "First off you're not looking closely at the target, you need to aim keep your eye on It," He paused and took his hands with mine, "Pull back, steady it and then let go," He said while it was let go. It hit straight at the target. I squealed and looked at Legolas. "I did it," I said jumping on him making him and me fall to the ground. We burst into laughter rolling around and play fighting in the leaves.

My ears perked up when I heard something. "Do you hear that?" I asked him concerned. He let his ear perk up and he heard talking and whispering. "Yes." He got up in alert; I hide behind him with fear. We walked to where were it was coming from. Legolas put an arrow into his bow and turned around the tree and aimed at what caught our attention.

"Whoa Legolas," Said a half ling standing up holding his hands up. Legolas lowered his bow and sighed. "Frodo you scared me and Saderiendra," He smiled. "Saderiendra?" He asked wondering who this was. I came from the around the tree to see a half ling with curly brown hair and big blue eyes. "Hullo." Frodo smiled, he never new Leoglas would you know. "Hi," I said shyly. "What are you doing out here alone?" Legolas asked his old friend. "Oh just relaxing, I did not mean to scare you," He said looking at us with his pleading big blue eyes. "Tis alright my friend, but you must get back to the palace." He nodded and scattered away.

Up in my room. I sat at the end of my bed, thinking if I should really leave, without a good bye to my love. I wanted to find out what my mother hid, why I had came back. I grabbed my pack and shoved some cloths, and extra cloak. I swung it on my back along with my quiver. Carefully and silently headed to the kitchen. I grabbed a loaf of bread and some ripe bright fruits. I got passed the dinner party unnoticed, headed to the stables. I walked in looking at the horses that surrounded me. Then an elf boy jumped down in front of me. "Who are you?" He asked curious with his green eyes. "Shhh, I need a horse, I must leave this place, I am Saderiendra, please help me," I pleaded with my blue eyes. "My lady Saderiendra you aren't running away?" The little elf asked. "No I will be back, can you help me?" I asked He nodded and roped a gray white horse and told me his name was Daystream. I petted it and talked to him to tell him I was his friend. I got upon him and rode off into the night.

*~*Next day*~* I rode hard and fast as possible because I needed to get there as soon. I hope Arwen, Legolas, or even Elrond would be too much worried about me. The horse started to slow down. I whispered in its ear. "We will rest here, okay, stay here ill get some water." It nahed and went by a tree for shade. I walked past the trees to the water. I knelt down and got some water in a container. I stood and walked back to my horse.

When some hours passed we start off again. We had many miles to go, from the map that I was reading. Jumping upon my horse whispering in his ear, "Asca!!" Then it took off.

*~*Back At Rivendell*~* Arwen smiled sweetly and walked to her friend's door wondering why she didn't come to dinner. She knocked lightly on the door. " Saderiendra is everything alright?" She asked. She didn't get any answer. She feared that she was hurt or worse. So she opened the door to come to a room that was pitch black only with the moon lit brightly. She gasped and turns the light on. There was nothing in the room. But the draws of cloths were hanging out. That's when she knew she had left on her quest, but her father told about the orcs that are still roaming around the forests. She had to tell Aragorn and Legolas.

Arwen ran to go find Legolas and Aragorn. She ran so fast she bumped into someone sending her to the floor. "Whoa Arwen what is the hurry?" Legolas asked. "Legolas Saderiendra is missing," Arwen said. Legolas Eye widen when he heard such a thing. "What do you mean she's missing?" He asked. "We must find Aragorn," She said. They found him by the waterfall sharping his sword. "Aragorn!!" Arwen called with a worried ness in her voice. "What is it?" He asked. "Saderiendra is missing, I think, I think she ran away, we must find her, its too dangerous out there for her," She pleaded.

*~*Back to me*~* I rode as fast as I could. I heard things following me but didn't care. I looked at the map and stopped. I was here I knew it my heart tore. I got off my horse and walked to be the tree was my mother had buried the stuff or whatever she was hiding. When I found the tree I dugged and got very far. I came to a chest. My hair was covered in wet mud, my face, my hands and yonder. I pulled it out but then I heard something. I stood and looked beyond the trees as possible. They were the most degusting sounds I have ever heard. I jumped into the tree living my horse to go off back to Rivendell for help.

"I saw her here sir," Said an orc. "Where is she?" what I believe was the leader. "Look here sir, she's been digging." I looked down at the orc that was below me. I tried not to move or breath. "She's near, I smell her, I want her found," He screamed. I got frightened why would they want me? I clenched the tree for help, to not let me fall. Then a branch fell from the tree. I closed my eyes. The orcs looked up and two saw me. "There, there she is!!" I opened my eyes and stared at them coldly, then climbed out and slashed them with my elf sword I was given. "ACK!!! GET HER!!!" The leader said. I looked at all five orcs knowing I was not strong of enough to kill all. So I slashed one that came towards me. But the second came and I wasn't fast enough and stabbed me into my stomach. I cried of pain. "DON'T KILL HER YOU FOOL!!" Then he got his head cut off in front of me. I looked at him and then ran away holding the pain. I found a hole in a hollow tree, I climbed in there and cried with pain from the stab, my tunic was cover of blood. Then I heard them come and I went silent. Then that when I heard fighting and yelling. All the orcs falling to the ground. Then I heard a voice that I would not doubt to hear. "Saderiendra!!!" Arwen called. "Saderiendra!!" Aragorn called. I gasped for air to speak but couldn't I was deadly hurt. I then decided to move from the hole in the hollow tree, and pushed the plants for them to see me. Aragorn was the nearest to the tree saw and came over. He saw me half way out but my eyes looked cold. "I found her!!!" Aragorn called. Legolas perked his ears up. He ran over to where his friend was, he saw me. He pulled me out and saw I was deadly hurt. "Saderiendra my love you are hurt," Legolas said. I gasped for air and smiled to see his face.

*~*In The Health Suite*~* "Is she alright?" Legolas asked worried. The elf maiden looked at the elf prince with hurt in her eyes. "She woundly hurt, she will make it." Legolas sighed with relief, and walked in the room for they let him. I lay in the big white bed, pale and weary looking. He closed his eyes pained to his love hurt and looking like she was. She should have never left, or she should have told him, so he could have been there to protect her. He never loved such, but he knew she was the one and wouldn't let her go.

*~*Later*~* Dusk turn to night and Legolas stayed by my side the whole time. My blue eyes opened slowly and carefully, afraid if I was dead or in the after life to get another chance. But I wasn't in the after life nor dead. I was well much back in Rivendell. Every got clear and I felt someone holding my hand. I looked to Legolas sitting fast asleep. I tried to get up but it hurt so much to try. Legolas felt her move and opened his eyes. "Don't move my love, you are very lucky," he said with tears in his eyes that I was okay and awake. I looked at him and smiled. He smiled and got up he laid next to me and stroked my hair looking into my eyes. I looked deep into his eyes, and my loved just didn't turn to dust after all. He lowered his head and kissed my lips so sweetly. Knowing I was hurt he didn't want to but he had the urge too. He looked at me and put his hands into my intertwining fingers. I started breathing heavy from his touch. I let his hands roam wherever he wanted. We know laid in the bed naked and ready for the comment of are love for one another. He tried to be as gentle as he could, knowing this was my first time. And letting his love seep through from every motion he made.

*~*Early next Morning*~*

My eyes open, feeling a lot better, and a lot happier. Feeling that special arm wrapped around me. Looking over to see Legolas laying asleep dugged into my neck breathing so nicely. I rang my fingers through his shiny blonde length hair. Sighing seeing his head rises and fall to my breathing when I sighed. His eyes opened and he looked at me oh so deeply. I smiled and kissed his lips. When we were dressing Arwen walked in and blushed and looked away. "I am sorry to interrupt but I was sent to care of Lady Saderiendra," She said in merely a whisper. Telling she was embarrassed. "That's okay I was leaving, I have to meet with my father and Elrond," He gave me his smile to me. I smiled back and kissed him and he walked out. When he walked out, I saw Arwen's expression and I blushed a red that was like a shiny red cherry. She smiled and walked over to the bed. "I see you are while Saderiendra, you are one lucky elf, you could have passed ya know." I looked at here with my guilt of understanding to what she was saying. " I feel dreadful to put you all through this, but I had to do it , I needed to find what that dream I had really meant," I paused, sighed, and sat on the bed, "I have failed and it doesn't matter anymore." Arwen stopped folding the sheets and looked over at me. She sat next to me and brought her hand into my. "Do not say that you have not failed Lady Saderiendra, you have grown stronger, plus I brought what you've been looking for, it's in your room." I looked up at her with happiness in my eyes. "No need to thank me, I shouldn't have brought It here, for I fear what is inside, but if u must have it, u must." I got up and hugged my good friend. "Oh thank you Arwen, how can I ever thank you and pay back what such a gift you have done?" She grinned. "Tell me of you and Legolas?" I blushed and looked at my feet. "Well I love him." She looked at me. "But does he feel the same to you." " I am certain, we made love so passionate last night," I said blushing again. She grinned. "I am happy for you, for I have the same feeling as you do." She left me to get dressed in a dress she had brought to me from my room.
