Chapter 7

We woke up, Vodia and I had fallen asleep in the hallway. I woke her up. She stood, and followed me as I walked back to my bedroom. Everything was cleaned up, and our bows were leaning against the balcony. We stood at the door observing the room. Then we both headed for the balcony at the same time. We picked up our bows studied them closely. They were just as we left them.

"Do you think we'll ever see them again?" Vodia said unsteadily.

"I don't know." I said scared of what that meant.

We put down our bows, and went down stairs to the kitchen, hoping to get something to eat. No one was there, so we just grabbed an apple and went outside. We walked into the wood. Quietly without saying a word. We slowly walked to the place where we first met them, you know who I'm talking about. I picked up the arrow that the orc had shot at me, I put my hand up by my ear where the bandage was and remembered when this happened. We left that place and walked up to the cave. It seemed like we were looking for them even though we knew they wouldn't be there.

"Its to silent," Vodia commented, " its never been this quite between us."

"I know." I replied

We stood at the foot of the cave. There was a noise inside. Vodia looked at me, I kept my eyes on the cave. We looked at each other, and ran. Praying they wouldn't have been orcs and seen us.

"Wait!" we heard behind us as we were running.

We stopped and slowly turned around. It was Elelas! Then Legolas jumped up next to him like a cat. They ran down after us, Legolas looked a little bit too anxious.

"What are you doing here?" Vodia demanded.

"We were looking for you," Elelas said, "and hiding from our wives, or future wives." Right then he knew he had messed up.

Vodia and I turned quickly around, and ran.

"Maybe we should talk to them, Sathein." She said still running. She turned around, "they're following us Sathien."

I stopped. Elelas was slightly ahead of Legolas. He ran up to me threw his arms around me and kissed me, a long deep kiss. Legolas had done the same. I pushed him away. I had been crying. Vodia did the same.

"Your engaged," I said, I turned my head away from his face.

"We love you." Elelas said as he put his hand on my cheek and turned my face back to his.

I started to cry, and leaned again his chest, my head on his shoulder. Vodia broke from Legolas's arms, and pulled me away, and started to walk, I followed. So did the elves. We walked around the woods, and talked for hours. We didn't know where we were, and it was getting dark. We came across an abandoned palace, much like ours. There were a lot of them around, since the orcs were living out here. They hadn't taken anything, perhaps someone found them before they could.

"Hey lets go in" I said. Then I pulled Elelas by the hand, into the palace. Vodia and Legolas both ran in.

We explored. Up on the third floor was where the bedrooms were. They still had the bed in them, sheets and everything.

Legolas looked into one of the rooms then came out, and ran into the room right across the hall. Vodia walked past them, and Legolas ran across the hall taking Vodia with him into the room that lay across from the one Legolas had hid in, then we heard the door close. I looked at Elelas and giggled, then continued.

But Elelas pulled me into the room closest to him. He pulled me onto the bed, we both knew nothing could happen, but at least we fell asleep in each other's arms.
