Ch.3-The Garden

***

It was early in the afternoon when Estelle and Audra got ready to go out to the garden. They were standing by the back door that led outside. Just then, Legolas came by on his horse.

"I thought you'd left last night" said Audra.

"No, my father wants to talk with your father, some 'quality time' he wanted.." said Legolas as he jumped down. "We're going to be staying here for awhile, does that create a problem for you ladies?" added Legolas.

"Of course not! Stay as long as you like!" said Estelle with excitement. Audra just smiled.

"Why don't we all head out to the garden? Such a lovely day." suggested Audra.

"Yes, why don't you come along Legolas." said Estelle.

"Alright then." said Legolas. They all headed for the garden and Audra felt for the Essence bottle in her pocket.

"I think I'll go over here, I want to pick some wild flowers."

"All right, we'll meet back here where the lillies are" said Estelle. Audra then headed far to the right until she reached a vine covered bush that stood high above her. She whispered a password and the vines started to recoil and the bush became an arch entrance to a waterfall.

"Ah...the Waterfall of Essence, a bottle of this...and a pinch of nectar from the Hybrid orchid" she then went and filled her bottle with the water from the waterfall and went over to a small plant in a glass vase. She took some nectar and dropped it in the bottle, the nectar disappeared and she put the bottle back into her pocket. She went back through the arch and whispered another password and the arch turned back into a bush and the vines covered it up again. Hastily, she went to scrounge around for some wild flowers to show she had actually gone for wild flowers.

Meanwhile, Legolas and Estelle were walking along far from where Audra had been. They went through some rose beds and Legolas picked a white rose.

"For you milady..." Legolas smoothed out the thorns and handed it to Estelle.

"Why thank you, it's so beautiful.." she smelled the fragrent scent. "..smells wonderful too, I don't really get much time to walk around the gardens now that my coronation is coming up soon."

"Your coronation? Am I invited?" asked a smirky Legolas.

"Why of course! Wouldn't want you to miss it!" said Estelle and she laughed. They continued on walking and talking until Legolas decided to stop at a tree to sit.

"Estelle, you are truly beautiful today, well, I'm not saying you weren't last ni-" Legolas was stopped as Estelle put a finger on his lips. She then leaned over and kissed him. He returned the favour. Just then Audra walked by and saw them at the end of the path. Anger was in her eyes, she reached for the Essence and hid behind a bush, she took several sips to calm down. She regained herself and slowly walked by again this time slapping her feet on the ground to show she was coming.

"Oh! Dear sister I didn't know you were coming!" said a surprised Estelle.

"Oh? Have I interuppted something?" Audra faked the question.

"Oh, no...don't worry about it..we were just..talking and-" started Legolas.

"We were just talking, erm...why don't we all head back to the castle shall we?" suggested Estelle.

"Yes, lets.." said Audra. The three of them walked back to the castle and Legolas' horse still stood there.

"I should return her back to the stables...I shall leave for now, goodbye." he took Estelle's hand and kissed it, then backed away to his horse.

"You fancy him?" asked Audra.

"W-well..."

"You never hide things from me do you sister? I've known you long enough to know that."

"All right! All right! You caught me! I'm guilty!"

"Thought so." Audra smirked at her sister then walked back into the castle.

"Is that all? You're just going to leave me here?" Estelle called back. No answer. "Fine! Don't talk to me!" she stood there all alone as the sun beat down on her, feeling foolish she went inside.
