Okay I'm back after a few very supportive words from Nev and Nadra! The last chapter was petty much explanatory and rather sad. So I'm gonna try to make up for all that by making this Chapter suspenseful though it's still sad. Well here goes nothing!
*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*
Chapter3-More sadness
Taleen was still teary eyed and only found support from her ever-faithful Rena…
"What am I gonna do Rena? I don't think I can face Aragorn! What if he asks why I ran away. I was never able to lie to Aragorn… more memories of times with Aragorn came across her mind… Of all the times she had tried to lie to him… every time he could tell that she wasn't telling the truth whether it was a broken toy or a surprise birthday party… She laughed as she recalled that very day…
She was supposed to keep him occupied for the day so that they could prepare the great hall. Then just before nightfall she was supposed to lead him back to the hall where everyone was waiting to give him the best surprise birthday anyone had ever seen! She had tried to explain to all of them that he could always tell when she kept something form him, but unfortunately they all had insisted that since she was his best friend she should have the honor. So she did her very best to hide it but as she had predicted * sigh * he had sensed that she was keeping something from him. She knew that he'd figured it out because when she took him to where his party awaited, he gave the most fake surprised expression she had ever seen.
This at first made her light hearted again but it didn't last long enough. A loud "gong" like sound told her that it was twelve o'clock. The now quietly stroked Rena's wing while she began to wonder if she should go or not. "It was so nice to see Aragorn again though. I really would like to have this Chance to be with him again as best friends." She gave another deep sigh and turned to her friend "What do you think I should do Rena? Should I go meet him for lunch?" Rena gave her a quizzical look then nodded her head just once, but very clearly. " I guess you're right and I really do owe it to him. Do you want to come to?" Once again Rena's head went down and then up.
At one, She hurried down the steps towards the park fountain. Though a while before reaching the fountain she heard humming and hurried even more expecting that it was Aragorn waiting for her at the fountain. Though when she came around a hedge to face the fountain, she saw that it wasn't Aragorn waiting there for her. Sadness began to swell her throat as the elf that she had heard humming turned to look at her for a moment. She politely smiled and said "good afternoon." "Good afternoon" he said politely then continued to hum while reading. She noticed that he wasn't from around there but felt as if he were familiar.
She walked past him and sat on the opposite side of the fountain and patently began to wait for Aragorn. Rena soon grew restless though and began to fly above the area and explore some of the trees. Taleen didn't have much patience and the elf stayed on the opposite side of the pond reading and humming. The humming was really starting to annoy her especially since she was beginning to get the felling that he had forgotten about her. Her! She had at one point in time meant everything in the world to him. "Sir, would you please stop humming." "Oh sorry is it bothering you?" he said innocently. She cleared your throat "yes it is," She said rather gruffly. So he was quiet for a while… and then he began to whistle! It didn't take long for "Would you please stop whistling?!" "Who me? Am I bothering you again?" "Yes you are!" "Fine I'll leave then." He began to get up.
"No wait. I'm sorry; I'm just really agitated by something right now. I didn't mean to take it out on you. I've been waiting for someone for two hours now and he hasn't shown up." Her eyes began to water as she let out her frustration. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief and proceeded to give it to her. "Thank you" she said to him as she accepted the handkerchief. "Don't worry, he probably just got to busy to come that's all. With a personality like yours I'm sure that he couldn't forget you." "Than… hey! Wait a minute!" she said crossly as she realized what he'd said. He began to laugh, "I'm sorry. I was only kidding." "Well I guess I deserved that," she said happily. "I'm Legolas," he said with a smile. "I'm Taleen and…" she turned and gave a short whistle, "this is Rena" she said as Rena landed on her shoulder. "Well, it was nice meeting you. Goodbye!" Taleen and Rena left with a new smile on her face.
Taleen headed back to her room and lay down to think things over. She started to fell sad again thinking about why Aragorn hadn't come. She also started to get worried if something had happened to him. After a while her thoughts returned to the thought her new friend. A dark thought had come across her mind though. Whenever she met someone that she had strong feelings for she would become their best friend and they'd never see her for anything more. Her eyes and heart filled with tears and sorrow as she remembered her three past-loves and how they had never understood that she wanted to be more than close friends. Aragorn had been exactly the same way and he was the first. This had almost become a trend in her life. "maybe it'd be best if never saw Legolas again then I couldn't get attached to him.
She spent the rest of the day in her room thinking about what she should do. Though during her evening meal someone came to visit her…
