Just trying to think of something to write now! ^.^'
This most likely will be a real sucky chapter! I need to think for a moment and come up w/ an idea before I start writing.
The Leave
Elmeraith awoke with Legolas sitting at her desk, singing. He was already clothed and seemed to be lost in thought. "You are an early riser, aren't you?" she said.
He looked at her and smiled. "I had to wake you up because your family will be up soon. I thought you'd want to get dressed. I need to slip away before anyone wakes up," Legolas said.
Elmeraith nodded and pulled on some clothes. "You better get going or Eldarion will catch you," she said after looking outside. It was still dark, but Eldarion would wake up any minute.
"Yes," Legolas agreed. "Good-bye. I'm sure you want extra sleep?"
"Just a little," she admitted. She didn't like Legolas always waiting for her in the morning because she was always sleeping longer than he.
"I think I'm going to go back to bed too," he decided. He slipped away silently in the darkness of the room.
"Alright, that would be…" She looked up, but Legolas had already gone. She shook her head. The small bit of elvish she had in her was never enough to hear him slide away. Once her clothes were on, she threw herself in her bed again. She felt herself drift away in weariness…
Elmeraith woke up the next morning all alone. "Legolas?" she cried, searching her mountain of blankets. She sighed, suddenly remembering that he had left long ago.
"Yes, I'm here," said Legolas, opening the door and sticking his head in. "I was waiting till you woke up to tell you something."
"Come in," she said. He came into her room and sat in a chair. "You see, I had to tell you that I'll be leaving today," he said desolately.
"What?" she gasped. "But…the Healer said that you had to stay here."
"But I can't," he said. "I'm wanted at home by my father. I will send you letters all the time."
She nodded her head sadly. "I wish you didn't have to go."
He came by her and sat on her bed. "As I, but I know where I belong and I will come back as soon as I can."
"And how long might that be, Legolas?" she asked.
He heaved a sigh and pondered for a moment. "It may be several months."
"Ugh," she groaned, falling back into her blankets. "That's too long!" she whined.
He laughed and bent over her, kissing her lightly on the lips. "But you must promise never to forget me," he whispered.
"Never!" she agreed. "I will never forget you."
"Promise?" he said, prodding her leg playfully. She laughed. "I promise. You'll find out for yourself when you return."
He kissed her once again. "I'm sorry, but I have to leave now. I must find my horse in the stables and leave, but I have something for you." He shoved one slender hand down his pockets and pulled out a blue crystal. "It reminds me of your eyes," he said slickly.
She took it from him and smiled in wonder. It was very beautiful and sparkled whenever it moved. "Are my eyes like this? Do they sparkle?"
"Yours are much prettier than that stone any time," he said. He then looked out the window and sighed sadly again. "Good-bye," he said finally. "I love you."
"I love you to, Legolas. Always," she answered. With that he left quickly. Elmeraith watched him disappear from her view, towards the sunrise, when she looked out her window. "I'll never forget you," she muttered under her breath.
(Will Legolas ever return as promised? Months are so long! Find out on the next chapter!
I know I said that I'd wait till tomorrow for these chapters but I couldn't resist!!
