Chapter 13
"We figured we would stop by and say good morning" Elelas said, with a smirk on his face.
"How long have you been standing there?" I asked anxious to see if I made a fool of myself.
"Long enough." Legolas said, as he started to walk toward Vodia.
Elelas followed him, walked over in front of me, put his arms around my waist and gave me a hug, my feet left the ground for a second, I felt like I was floating on a cloud. Legolas did the same to Vodia.
"Good morning me ladies," Elelas said, his accent peeked out in that sentence, "and how are you this morning?" he said, his arms still around my waist.
Legolas let go of Vodia, and smiled at her.
"So really, what are you doing here?" Vodia questioned.
I pulled away from Elelas, awaiting his answer. They both got uncomfortable, you could tell, by the way they stood there in silence.
"What?" I questioned, curious of what the problem could be.
"They started planning the wedding." Legolas answered hesitantly.
Vodia and I looked at each other, "I guess that problem didn't disappear while we slept." I said as I put one hand on my hip, and used the other to rub my head.
"What are we going to do about that?" Vodia asked.
"There is nothing we can do." Elelas replied.
I took a step back; Vodia took even a bigger one.
"So, what? Your going to marry them?" I demanded, getting upset.
"We have no choice." Legolas took a step forward. We backed farther away.
"So what were we, just a stand in?" I asked. There was no answer, and I began to grow impatient.
He walked up close to me. I turned my head away, I couldn't bear to look him in the eyes.
"You don't understand, we have no choice." Elelas said, trying to get eye contact. I just wouldn't do it.
"Yes we do," I answered, "we understand perfectly, your family is no different than ours, yet we are able to risk everything for the both of you."
Vodia spoke, "Sathien and I would have done anything to be with you," she continued, "we fell in love," she said turning to Legolas, "and became best friends." She turned and looked at Elelas.
"You should go." I said to them as I looked down at the ground.
Then we watched the turn, and walk out.
"We figured we would stop by and say good morning" Elelas said, with a smirk on his face.
