1 Chapter 12- Know
Wow, three chapters in two days, I really am doing okay! lol, but anyway, what shall we put in this chapter? Lets see...we could have a strange alien take possesion of Ali's body while she's asleep...or Legolas' body? ^_~ no, maybe not!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ali was swimming upward through water. Finally she broke the surface, and yelped with pain. Someone was standing over her. It was Nerei. "Nerei! How are you? Do you fare well?" Nerei tutted. "Alcarin, you were half dead, poor child! What on earth happened? You have three anxious visitors, and Legolas has taken that dog out for a run. Do you want to dress?" Alcarin nodded, her head still swimming. "Yes, but first, is there anything to eat?" She asked the maid. Nerei left a dress out on the bed and said "Milady, the bath is nearby. Do you get in, then I will return with a light meal?" She left, and Alcarin proceeded to get in and out of the bath, washing her hair quickly as fast as she could before Nerei came back. The maid always insisted on washing her hair for her, which she hated, so she was getting into the dress when the older woman reappeared. As Nerei dried her hair, she ate the soup quietly, and sipped at the water. Feeling much better, and fully dressed, she decided to go out.
Nerei almost fainted when she heard her mistress's idea. "But you only woke up today!" She squeaked "You should not leave the room!" But Ali was firm. Soon, she was carefully installed in a sunny spot in the garden, on a rug, with her notebook. Unfortunately, she had forgotten one thing. The notebook contained multiple pictures of Legolas; as played by Orlando Bloom. She sighed, and put it down. It was too much like the home she had voluntarily left. Watching the lovely scenery, she noted an elf that looked scarily like...
"Eros!" She called, and his sensitive hearing picked it up. He whirled, and came running towards her. He dropped to his knees beside her, to prevent her standing.
"Alcarin! How do you fare? You surely should be resting?! Does the Prince know you are outside?" The questions poured from his lips like a stream over rocks. She laughed, and he was reminded of her loveliness, the sense of ease he felt with her, and overall, how he felt and cared for her. She laughed gently, because as much as she denied and protested; she was still weak. "Eros, I am well now. I have slept for close on three days; the last thing I want is to sleep!" They sat companionably on the lawn, Alcarin protected by the corner, and as it got chillier, Eros' light cloak. Eros told her of their grief at discovering her abscence, and Anariel had recovered swiftly, and was wanting to see her; she would visit her later. He told her, in her fast growing store of Elven, that Legolas had made friends with the dog, and she told him of her brief journey through the forest, and of meeting Elaine. They laughed at the birds chasing one another, until the sky began to darken and Eros insisted they went inside.
That may have been when Legolas lost his chance with her.
