Shattered Reflection

Chapter Three ~ Friends!

'Friends, are someone you can caught on. Right? Well, that's what they say. But, some people that think this get stabbed in the back. But, on the other hand, you can find your best friend, in people you never thought you would ever be friends. But, without friends life just isn't worth living for. Even if some of you have friends that have left you felling like shit. Just remember, the people that end up hurting you, usually make you stronger...'

The two elves talked almost all day. The sky was beginning to turn, many different shades of color, as the sun started setting. Legolas had shown Nissa most of his father's large castle.

A young servant girl came into the large library, where Legolas and Nissa were now at. She bowed lightly, "Please, excuse me, my lord, but Mr. Gandalf has arrived. He is also accompanied by the four hobbit," she said, in a low voice.

"Thank you. Tell them I'll meet them in the courtyard," Legolas told her, in a soft voice.

She bowed, "Yes, my lord," she said before she left.

Legolas turned his attention to Nissa, who was looking through the selves of books. "Nissa," he called.

"Yes," she answered.

Legolas got up from the chair he was sitting in, and followed her voice. She was standing on a latter; looking at a book, "Find anything interesting?" he asked.

"I never seen so many books in my life," she answered. "They all seem interesting," she told him, as she climbed down off the latter.

Legolas smiled, "Well, you have an eternity to read as may as you would like," he told her.

Nissa looked at him and returned the smile.

"Come, my friends I was telling you about have arrived, and I would like you to meet them. If you will?" Legolas informed her.

"I'd love to," Nissa replied.

Legolas took her hand and led her to the courtyard. When they arrived, there was a tall old looking man, who had long gray hair and a beard. There were also four little men. "Ah, Legolas. Is it good to see you again," said the tall man, as the two elves walked up to the small group.

"Yes, it is, Gandalf. As, it is to see you four as well," Legolas replied, looking from the Gandalf, then down at the four hobbits.

"Oh, and who is this beautiful young lady?" Gandalf asked, turning his attention to Nissa.

"This is Nissa. Nissa, these are my friends, Gandalf the Gray, Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, known as Sam. Peregrin Took, better known as Pippin. And Meriadoc Brandybuck, or Merry," Legolas said, introducing everyone.

"Nice to meet you," Nissa said, bowing slightly.

"As it is to meet you," Gandalf replied.

"How long have you knew, Legolas?" asked Pippin, the most curious of the four hobbits.

Nissa looked at him, then to Legolas, then back to the hobbit, "Only for a couple of hours. See I was in a bit of trouble last night and Legolas was kind enough to help me out of it," she answered, with a warm smile.

"Oh," Pippin said. He was going to ask another question, Merry elbowed him in the ribs.

Legolas shook his head and smiled lightly, "Good to see you haven't changed, Pippin."

Pippin shrugged, "It's only been, what, a year?" he answered looking at everyone. "Right?" he asked unsure of the information he had given.

Nissa giggled lightly at his confusion. Then, a cold wind blow, causing chills to run down her spine. She gently hugged her arms, trying to keep warm.

"Come, why don't we get you to your rooms. There will be plenty of time to talk tomorrow," Legolas said, leading them inside.

After showing the wizard and the four hobbits to their rooms. He walked with Nissa to hers. Once they had gotten to her room, she stopped before going in, and turned to face Legolas. Her head hung lightly, "I guess this is were I bid you goodnight?"

Legolas smiled and gently cupped her chin in his hand, and then he gently kissed her cheek, "Only if you wish," he told her.

She smiled and blushed slightly, "Thank you, Legolas."

"For what?" he asked.

"Helping me, when no one else cared," she answered.

Legolas smiled warmly, "And let a beautiful young lady, as yourself, get hurt. I really would rather give up my life, then see that happen."

Nissa's cheeks grew a little pinker.

"Get some sleep," Legolas told her, in a soft voice. "We have all day tomorrow to talk," he paused, "as do we have an eternity."

Nissa nodded, "Goodnight."

"Goodnight, mi lady," Legolas answered softly.

Nissa turned and disappeared into her room, and once the door shut behind her, Legolas made his way to his own room.
