Ch.4- "Getting to Know One Better"
***
"I came right after the servant told me you wanted to-......father? Are you alright?...You seem...distressed, you look like you haven't slept in days.."
"I seem to have fallen ill...a little cold, that's all, but that's not why I wanted to speak with you. You have brought in a young woman I noticed, a human, what is she doing here?"
"I found her in a clearing nearby, a corpse of an orc fell on her while she was taking drinks at the spring...it frightened her a bit."
"I see...why isn't she back where she came from? Surely her loved ones are worried about her by now."
"She doesn't seem to know where she came from father...I was only trying to help, she was also getting cold, her entire body was soaked from the spring."
His father, King Thranduil gave a sigh and looked at the ground to think for a moment.
"You will make sure she gets better and try to get her to tell you where she is from, then, send her back, I have no other business with her, she is your responsibility now, do what you must, but I must tell you she does not belong here...you may go my son...and on the way, could you please send in a servant for me."
"Alright father, I'll do as you wish.." then he left to find a servant and go back to Lisa.
***
"I wish Legolas would come back sooner..." whined Lisa. "I wanna see him again...he's so nice...not like the guys at my school...school...hehe...I'm not at school...that reminds me...how the hell did I get here in the first place? All I remember was I was walking...and then...I fell on my head......did I wipe out? Hmmmm........"
The servant was just staring at her as if she was a strange creature from another world.
"Uh...I'll...just go refill your tea for you my lady..." said the servant as he took the cup and backed away slowly...
"Ok thanks!"
Legolas then came into the dining hall with a smile on his face.
*Oh!!! This must be good news!!! Yay!*
"I apologize if I took too long, has the servant gotten you anything to eat?"
"I wasn't that hungry, I wanted to wait until you came back, I thought that would be more polite..." she blushed at the last few words.
Legolas just smiled at her again but this time Lisa felt her body turn into mush at the sight of a smile like that.
"Well then, would you like to eat now?"
"Yeah...sure..., so um...what did your dad have to see you for?"
"He was worried about you...um...he wanted me to send you back to where you came from as soon as you got better, I told him about the little incident at the spring, but he doesn't really want anything to do with you...he said you're my responsibility now...I don't mind though, actually...it'd be nice to spend some time with you, get to know you a bit better."
"Oh...well...um...ok." she was a bit taken back by everything he just told her.
*WOW he wants to get to know ME a bit better? What do I say? He also said I'm HIS responsibility...so he has to keep an eye on me. Does that mean he has to babysit me? What the hell is up with that? He doesn't mind...DOES THAT MEAN HE LIKES ME TOO???!!! I AM SO FREAKED!!!!!! Should I confess...*
"Uh...Lisa? Are you ok? You looked..distracted and then you started to smile a bit..."
"Oh, um..I'm fine."
"Here you are, is that all your highness?" asked the servant.
"Yes, that is all thank you."
*I never realised it until now...the servant said 'your highness' to him before...he's a PRINCE!!!! I AM SO FRIGGIN STUPID!!! WHY DIDN'T I NOTICE THAT BEFORE?! WOW...this is like those fairy tales...*SIGH* so romantic....my prince comes to rescue me...he has horses, does archery...so perfect...hey....food...*
"Wow...this looks so good!.......tastes ....marvellous!
"You can thank the kitchens for that."
As Legolas and Lisa had their dinner, they started a conversation, Legolas told Lisa more about himself and Lisa started to talk about herself too.
"Um...I'm fourteen, I have an older sister and an older brother, I live with my dad, we have a dog and two little goldfish."
This time, Legolas looked at her as if she was from another world.
"Y-you're fourteen?...Oh...right, human..years...am I correct?"
"Um...sure..whatever...how old are YOU?"
"This is in Elven years alright? Very, very different...I am two thousand six hundred and thirty-one years old. May I also mention that elves live to be immortal."
"You-you're...t-two th-thousand what?" Lisa went blank and had a look of confusion and scaredness.
"Yes, it is very different from human age, I admit I thought you were an elf and was surprised at your age also."
"And...you live to be immortal? That is so cool...I'd like to be immortal..."
"Cool...as in interestingly astonishing am I right?"
"Yeah, you got it." she smiled at him. They took the moment to look at each other.
"*Ahem* um...how about I call the servant to clear this mess up?"
"Oh yeah, definitely yeah."
Afterwards, they went back to the room where Lisa's original clothes were and called for Aida.
"I'm sure you would like to change back into your clothes? I called for Aida."
"Oh thanks, that would be great."
"I'll leave you to change alright?"
"Where are you gonna go?"
"I want to check up on my father, he looked quite ill when I went to talk to him..."
"Ok, I'll stay here then."
Aida then came and got Lisa to take a bath first. Lisa was sure a bathroom wasn't in the room before...
"...and when you're done and changed, you can come out and I'll take you to Legolas ok Lisa?"
Aida then gave Lisa her dry and somewhat warmed clothes and Lisa went into the bathroom. When she came out smelling clean and feeling more comfortable now that she was back into her clothes, Aida lead Lisa outside, to a beautiful garden where Legolas stood waiting.
"Thanks so much for the help Aida."
"No problem" she smiled and left.
"Got your clothes back, now...I must ask, does everyone from where you come from wear the same thing?"
"No, there are A LOT of varieties TRUST me I'm telling you, there are A LOT."
"Um...alright then..." with a blank look on his face yet again. "If I may ask again, where are you from?"
"I ...I'm not from anywhere near here at all, I can tell you that much...but...*SIGH* I just don't think I can point out on a map where I'm from..."
"Well I've got a map I think here...ah there we are..."
"No...I'm not anywhere near here...um...Middle Earth? Where ...is that?"
"THIS is Middle Earth, and the forest here that 's surrounding my home, is Mirkwood."
"I ...have never heard of this place before...I don't think I'm even from this world..."
"Not from this world?"
"Yeah...I mean, I KNOW I've never heard of these places before....'Rivendell'? I've heard of a 'Riverdale' but 'Rivendell'? And 'The Shire'?"
"You...don't come from anywhere in Middle Earth do you? How...then? HOW did you get here?"
"I swear....I don't have the faintest idea...all I remember is...I was walking through a park near MY home and all of a sudden...I fall on my head and landed in that forest where you found me."
"I see...well...how are you going to go back to you home?"
"I really don't know.."
At these words, Lisa started to panic...her home, her family, she missed them, her friends, she even missed school, but here she was with an elf she thought was the most caring and handsomest...she wondered...
"What if I stay here?"
"Um...my father thinks that it's not a good idea, he is worried about you, I am worried about you, I'm worried about your safety and your family, I'm sure they are VERY worried about you. You've been here for quite awhile, but I admit, I like it that you are here with me. It WOULD be nice if you'd stay..."
"I'm...speechless....I'd like to stay too..."
*I think he likes me...but now I'm falling in love with him I think...this is so HARD!!*
"Legolas, I have to say something..."
"Please go on.."
"I'm starting to like you, I mean, I'm starting to like you A LOT ok..and ....I miss my family and my home ...but...yet half of me wants me to stay here....and..be with you.."
*She wants to stay with me...she fancies me..I knew it...thats it...I can't keep it in any longer....*
"Lisa...I ...when I first saw you...you seemed so...strange to me...and now that I got to know you better...I'm starting to like you more as well..."
*HE LIKES ME AS WELL....BREATHE LISA...BREATHE....I WANNA SHOUT OUT....I LOVE YOU LEGOLAS!!!*
"Legolas......I think it's more than just liking you...I'm.....I'm........"
Lisa couldn't say it...she couldn't...she didn't have the strength, for he had already done it. He kissed her.
"...wh-what...was that for?..." Lisa didn't mean that in the rude way, she wasn't prepared.
"I've got feelings for you Lisa, I know it sounds silly..."
"No, no it doesn't, I've got feelings for you too...and...I just don't know what to do right now...I'm split apart...you, and my home, my family, and then being here..it's just all so...so..." Lisa brokedown, she couldn't keep it in any longer, tears were coming down like a waterfall, Legolas felt horrible. He took her into his arms and they just stood there, all alone, Lisa still crying and Legolas trying to quiet her down.
"Come on now...sh...don't cry...I'm sure we'll find a way to get you back home..." as he said this, he looked at his home and at a window, his father, was watching and had the look of sorrow on his face. Legolas looked back at his father who seemed to understand the situation he was in and left the window.
"*Sniff-sniff*...I'm sorry you had to see me like this...I usually don't cry like this very often...I feel like I'm torn apart, I just can't deal with this anymore......please...don't leave me alone..."
"I'll stay with you as much as you like.." he pecked a kiss on the top of Lisa's head.

AAAWWWW.....I just wanna say something here ok? I don't know the exact age of Legolas I was just guessing, I don't these things, I'm just here to write this thing.
