Shattered Reflection

By-Lady Une

Chapter Two ~ Trustworthy!

'Trust, is a big thing in the world these days. For without trust, the world would be full of fear. Trust is something everyone and every living thing need to serve...'

Slowly opening her eyes, and looking upon her new surroundings. She found herself in a large room, with two pairs of doors. One leading, to what looked like a balcony, and the other, to where she guessed a hallway. She was lying in a large bed, with a lot of feather soft pillows and silky smooth bed sheets. She slowly sat up noticing that the wound in her side had almost completely heeled. A slight breeze blow through the room a crossed her face, it came form the balcony, which was opened.

The other door slowly opened, and in walked a young elf. She had long beautiful blond hair. "Oh, so you have awaken, mi lady," she said, when she noticed, the young elf girl was awake. "Do you think you can walk?"

"Yes," answered the young girl.

The servant smiled warmly, "Good. For as soon as you're ready, the Prince would like to see you," she told the young girl.

"Prince?"

The servant smiled, "What is your name, mi lady?"

"Nissa," answered the elf girl.

The servant smiled again, and walked over to a table, which was next to the bed. She laid down a beautiful crystal blue dress on it. "When your ready, Lady Nissa. I am to take you to see the Prince," she told her.

Nissa nodded, "Thank you."

The servant bowed lightly, "I'll be back in soon. Is that aright?"

"Yes, that's fine," Nissa answered.

The servant bowed again, "My, name is Quinn, if you need anything, mi lady," she said before she turned and walked out of the room.

Nissa watched her leave, then slowly got out of bed. Changing into the dress, she walked out onto the balcony. Resting her hands on the railing, she looked out over the kingdom. The sun was shinning bright, the sky was blue, and a slight breeze blow her hair across her face.

A soft knock at the door drew Nissa back into the room. The door opened and in walked Quinn. She smiled, when she saw Nissa, "Come, let me put your hair up."

Nissa smiled and walked over to Quinn. Who put a pair of her hair back in a braid. After she was finished, she said, "Come the Prince is waiting."

Nissa followed her down a lager hallway, down a large staircase, and into a large courtyard. There was a large oak tree and a pound in the middle of the area. Nissa's eyes scanned the area, taking in all the beauty. Then her eyes fell on a young elf, sitting up against the large tree. She recognized him from last night. She continued to follow Quinn, down some stone stair and into the small area where the pond and tree were.

Quinn cleared her throat, so she could get the young elves attention. The young prince was reading some kind of book. He looked up and smiled. Then slowly got to his feet. "Thank you, Quinn," he said.

Quinn bowed lightly, "My lord," she said before walking off.

Nissa watched her leave, then turned back to her rescuer. She smiled lightly and dropped her head.

"Feeling better?" he asked, gently raising her head.

Nissa smiled and nodded, "Yes, thanks to you," she answered, blushing slightly.

"You know I have yet to learn your name," he said.

"Nissa," she answered, "and yours?"

"Legolas Greenleaf," he answered.

"Prince of?" Nissa asked.

Legolas smiled and dropped his head, then looked back up at her, "Prince of Mirkwood. But, I would prefer it if you called me Legolas," he answered.

Nissa smiled and nodded, "Ok, Legolas." Then her eyes slowly wondering, and looking around her new surroundings.

Legolas watched as she took in everything. He smiled to himself. She was so beautiful. How could any one want to hurt someone so beautiful? He couldn't understand that.

Nissa looked at him, "What?" she asked, when she noticed her had been watching her.

Legolas smiled, "Nothing," he replied. "Oh, almost forgot. I have some old friends of mine coming. They should be here any day now."

"Oh," Nissa answered.

"Yes, I just thought I would let you know," he told her. "Listen, are you hungry?"

"A little," Nissa answered, a bit guilty.

Legolas smiled, "Goo, then you wouldn't mind joining me for breakfast, then?" he asked her.

"Not at all. As long as you're the one inviting me," Nissa answered.

Legolas nodded, "Shall we, mi lady?" he asked, holding out his hand.

"We shall," Nissa answered, taking his hand.

Legolas smile and lead her up the stairs and to the dinning room.
