Ch.4-Trust and Change

***

Audra went up to her bedroom and locked the door, she took out her bottle of Essence and started drinking more of it. The bottle wasn't peticularly small, it was because her pocket was very big and kept the bottle well hidden.

"My dear Essence..." her voice had now changed, it had become dark and sly. "I will get you my darling sister, Legolas shall be with me..-no!" Audra's original voice was trying to fight back, "-why are you doing this to me?!" cried a weak Audra. The evil voice fought back "-you have no control over me! You will never! Unless you want to die, I suggest you shut your little whiny mouth!" Audra had no control whatsoever, she collapsed on the ground with sweat all over her face when she tried to fight back, then the evil started again and Audra stood up, the sweat disappeared and she hid the Essence away. "I hope you don't mind my dear Estelle, if I were to go and chat with Legolas.." Audra's voice had come back, but she was still evil.

At the stables, Legolas was finishing up with his horse and he put all the straps away.

"Hello Legolas." said Audra. Legolas jumped as if Audra had come suddenly out of nowhere.

"Why hello milady" he said politely. Audra came closer until she was almost face to face with Legolas.

"What a lovely horse you've got there.." Audra tried to pat the horse but it neighed and backed away.

"She doesn't like strangers" Legolas said quickly and he turned away to his horse and walked it inside the stable. Audra joined him.

"How's your stay here? Are you happy?" asked Audra, trying to make conversation.

"It's fine." Legolas said quickly again. Audra was slowly moving her eyes around and looked about the ceiling...

"...So tell me...are you..involved with anyone?" Audra asked innocently, she moved in closer to Legolas.

"...er...n-no..not really..." lied Legolas.

"Oh...it would be ok to do this then?..." Audra attempted a kiss but Legolas pushed her away and walked out of the stable near the castle.

"Why are you resisting? I thought you said you weren't involved with anyone...are you lying to me?" the evil side of Audra was coming back and Legolas kept a distance. Audra looked upon Legolas' eyes and gazed into them, Legolas, as if in a trance, slowly walked towards Audra.

"Come my love, kiss me." Audra took hold of Legolas and kissed him, Legolas, now realizing what he was doing pushed her away. He looked up at the castle walls and saw Estelle looking through a window, she turned and ran.

"Estelle! No! I didn't mean to! Estelle please!" he said as he ran towards the castle and went in search for Estelle.

"Hahaha...my dear Legolas, look what you did...oh! Was it my fault? Innocent old me?" Audra smirked and walked back to the castle.

Legolas meanwhile was having the hardest time in finding Estelle, he then saw her running across the hall opposite of him.

"Estelle!" called Legolas. "Estelle please! Listen to me! It didn't mean anything! Your sister doesn't mean anything to me! It's you that I care about! Please Estelle!"

"If she didn't mean anything to you, then why did you kiss her?! Why didn't you stop immediately? You came towards her! You stopped after several seconds!" Estelle yelled back as they both were still walking facing each other in opposite halls that were on each side of the dining hall.

"I didn't know what came over me! I didn't want to! Please Estelle! You have to believe me!" pleaded Legolas. Then both of them came meeting with each other at the end of the hallway, they walked to the center of a connecting hall at the top of the grand stairs and faced each other.

"I only care about you." said Legolas as he gazed into Estelle's eyes. Estelle had tears down her face.

"No...no, no! Why are you doing this to me? How can I make sure I can believe you? How can I make sure I can trust you again?!" sobbed Estelle.

"..Because...because I'm in love with you, I love you so much Estelle.." said Legolas, he took her into his arms and she let him embrace her. They stood there holding each other for awhile until a servant came with a piece of paper.

"For you my lady.." said the servant. "A message from your mother."

"Thank you" said Estelle, the servant bowed and walked away. Estelle began to read the message out loud as both Legolas and Estelle started to walk down to the dining hall stairs...

My dearest Estelle,

Oh how I miss you so...how are you doing? Are you getting prepared for your big coronation? Have I told you that I will be there for it? Yes, I will be arriving very soon, because I must help both of my girls get ready! And I must ask, how was the feast for your father? Did you meet 'him'? He really is quite the handsome one if you know what I mean... (When Estelle read this, Legolas grinned and seemed quite smug) Anyway, I miss both you and your sister so much, I can't wait until I come. I hope you will be happy to see me. I'll stop here for now, I will be seeing both you, Audra and your father very soon. With all the love in the world,

Mummy.

"Has your mother said anything else about me?" said Legolas with a grin.

"She DID say you were 'quite the charmer' .." said Estelle. "..and you are.." Legolas smiled the smile and Estelle almost lost her balance.

"Let's erm...sit down at one of the tables." said Estelle as they walked down to the dining hall and sat down at a table.

"So...your big coronation is coming up...I'll get to see your mother again..to show that you have met me and that I should thank her for telling me about you...oh did I say that outloud?" said Legolas and he laughed.

"What did she say about me?! Please tell me!"

"Oh you won't have to worry, only good things come out of your mother, she said that you were very beautiful and you were the youngest, she also mentioned your love for roses...thats how I came to giving you that white one..do you still have it with you?"

"Why yes, it's right here.." Estelle took the rose out of her sash that was tied around her waist and showed it to Legolas.

"Still beautiful, like you.." said Legolas, and he put the rose in her hair, of course, if you remember reading before that Legolas had smoothed out the thorns so there were no more.

"Oh Legolas, how could I have ever doubted you...you truly are so loving and caring...I love you so much." she smiled at him and they both leaned towards each other to kiss..but was stopped as they heard Audra walk in.

"Oh why hello you two! Have I interrupted something yet again? I am so sorry.." said an innocent Audra.

"Yes sister, you have interrupted something, now could you please leave us at peace..."

"Ah-ah-ah...I can't, I was sent to tell Legolas that his father needed him. I am to escort him to his father at once."

"I can go by myself thank you" said Legolas.

"Yes..but I am to-"

"He said that he is all right by himself, now let him go" said Estelle. Legolas mouthed the words "I'll be back" and left.

"Fine then, I shall stay here, why don't us sisters talk? Like we used to?"

"Why did you kiss him?" started Estelle.

"What are you talking about?" lied Audra.

"You know what I mean, you kissed him, you LURED him.."

"I did nothing of such...you should blame him...he should be the one accused of kissing ME!" Audra's voice grew as well as her anger.

"I saw it, I did blame him, but I should never have..I trust him, I always have and will...it's you that

I worry about...you have changed sister..you are not the Audra I knew."

"What do you mean, I've always been Audra..I-" Audra stopped, she choked and started running away..

"Audra?! Audra are you all right?! Audra?!" Estelle started to run to her sister but Audra had gone too far ahead and Estelle saw her go up the stairs pushing Legolas out of the way as he came back.

"What's wrong? She seemed...like she couldn't breathe." said a surprised Legolas.

"Something's wrong...she has never been like this before...as if she, as if she's not my sister Audra anymore."
