Arwen craned her neck to glance back at the golden-haired elf still sitting in the gazebo. She had felt a real connection with Legolas, yet the she- elf had been with Aragorn for quite a while. Her father was not pleased that she had fallen in love with a mortal, yet the fact that he was of the blood of Numenor and the heir of Isildur comforted his displeasure slightly. Legolas was the prince of Mirkwood and heir to the throne. Elrond would be much happier with him as his daughter's consort.
She would need to settle this with Aragorn either way. The woman's quick feet swiftly carried her toward the retreating man, tears filling in her eyes. Either the man or the elf would be hurt by her decision. That fact was inevitable.
"Aragorn! Aragorn! Estel, please, listen to me!"
Aragorn stopped walking, slowly turning to face the Elven maiden. His face was now like a statue, attempting to appear indifferent before the woman who had betrayed him.
"How may I help you, my lady?"
His voice was cold, not holding its usual melody. The heart of Estel could not deny that it still loved Arwen, yet his mind could not accept her unfaithfulness.
"It was a simple kiss! Please, this does not mean that I do not love you."
The she-elf stepped closer to him, the fabric of her gown colliding with his emerald tunic. One hand snaked behind his neck, pulling him down to her level. Their lips collided, Arwen once again giving him her heart. Aragorn leaned into the kiss. He was beginning to enjoy it, beginning to forget about what she had done. But an image came back to his mind's eye, shattering the moment. He quickly pulled away from her, betrayal written on his countenance.
"Is this what you have done with him? Did he offer all he had to you? Was all my love not enough for Arwen Undomiel?"
Perhaps he would regret those words later, but they expressed what she had put him through. He stiffly turned and continued to walk away, leaving the Elven maid in isolation. Arwen's lower lip began to quiver, chocolate eyes filling with salty tears as she watched Estel depart. Part of her longed to be rid of him and align herself with Legolas, yet the other part still longed for Aragorn. She fell to the ground, hands covering her face as she wept. Her dress would be soiled by the dirt, yet the elf cared not.

A/N: I realize that was pretty short. But I don't know whether to take it to Aragorn/Arwen or Arwen/Legolas. Please review and tell me what you think. I'll give it about 5 days, and then write the next chapter. Thanks to all those who reviewed!
crystal illusion: You asked for more, so here it is! I'm sorry it's so short.
Pril: Thanks for reviewing, glad you liked it!
ElvenRanger13: Heh, I don't know if I ever really liked Arwen (although it might have been jealousy). Thanks for reviewing!
IMTrinity: I was trying to go for something that I hadn't seen before. Thanks for reviewing!
