Chapter 6
"Okay who wants to explain this?" Vodias mom said as she put her hand on her hip.
My mom just stood there her eyes wandering try to make sense of it all, the boys, the dead body, the arrows. The silence was deadly. Her eyes kept wandering until I finally spoke up.
"I guess your wondering what happened, aren't you?" I said in an unsure way.
"No we just wanted to know if you wanted dinner." Vodia's mom said in a sarcastic tone. I knew if we didn't say anything soon, we would be in bigger trouble than we already were.
"You see there were orcs down under the balcony, and these two elves," I said as if I didn't know who they were, "they had been walking by and heard our scream, and so they came over and saved us."
The tension grew between Vodia and I. We were wondering if they were going to buy it. Elelas, and Legolas just stood there, just as they were when our moms walked in.
"Is this true?" my mom turned to Elelas and asked.
"Yes ma'am." He said nervously.
"Well then it looks like we have a couple of heroes in our palace." Vodias mother said, as if she was pleased.
We all sighed a sigh of relief.
We were so close; we had almost made it. Our mothers had turned to leave the room then my mother stopped and turned around. Vodia's mother did too.
"Aren't you the ones from mirkwood? The ones that became engaged today?" My mother asked.
It hit me again like a hammer in the back of my skull.
"Yes we are." Legolas replied unsteadily.
"Well you better get back to your future wives, they might get worried," She said as they headed out the doors, "I'll send somebody to clean this up." She said as she closed the door and walked off.

Vodia and I looked at each other.
"You better go, you have a wedding to plan, and they are all probably wondering where you are." I said calmly, even though I was screaming inside. Then Vodia turned to walk off and I followed her.
"We don't want them," Legolas said, "We want you." He said as if he was afraid we might actually leave.
"Well, there is nothing you can do now." Vodia said, she seemed content with the fact we might never get to be with them.
We just stood there awaiting a response; we hadn't even turned around yet. I did then, slowly though, but carefully. I walked over to him, and kissed him on the cheek.
"Goodbye," I said, then I turned quickly and kept walking as I continued, "I hope you have a great life with your wives."
I started to pull Vodia out of the room, she turned and blew a kiss, to Legolas. I turned gave them one last glance them closed the door. They hadn't moved. I went to the end of the hall. We leaned against the door to Vodia's bedroom, we slid to the ground then we sat there and cried, not knowing what was going to happen next. If we would ever see them again, if we would ever love again, if…
