~ ~ This is where the song comes in - Dream a Little Dream of Me ~ (the
mamas and the papas)
The moon and stars were reflected in the ever-clear lake. I let out a deep sigh as I slid out of my dress. Bending down I dipped a hand in the cool water, creating ripples. Rising, I waded to the center of the lake, the water rose to about my chest. My thoughts kept turning to Legolas.
"Stars shining bright above you,
Night breezes seem to whisper 'I love you',
Birds singing in the sycamore tree,
Dream a little dream of me.
Say 'nighty night' and kiss me,
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me,
While I'm alone and blue as can be,
Dream a little dream of me.
Stars fading, but I linger on dear, still craving your kiss,
1 I'm longing to linger till dawn dear, just saying this,
2 Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you,
3 Sweet dreams that leave your worries far behind you,
4 But in your dreams whatever they be,
5 Dream a little dream of me…"
When I came to the last parts of the song, I couldn't handle it anymore, and I just broke down, sobbing. My vision got blurred; I lost my balance and fell. My head hit something hard, and the world went dark.
"Ana, please! Wake up Ana! Get up Ana! Please!"
"Legolas!" I yelled after I had opened my eyes. I scooted as far away from him as possible. His deep green eyes were shining with happiness. His long golden hair was wet and stringy, his clothes were also were dripping wet. "What happened you?"
"Sana sina." He said holding a bowl with some broth in it. "You slipped and fell, into the water. When you hit the bottom you were knocked unconscious."
"And you retrieved me?" he nodded in reply, a smile playing on his lips. Slowly I drank the broth. It was then that I noticed what I was wearing. I was only in my bloomers, which happened to be white… and wet… I let out a piercing scream. I jumped into the bushes, trying to hide myself.
"You were watching me weren't you!" I yelled pointing an accusing finger at Legolas. His face turned a deep shade of red. "Legolas Greenleaf!" he lowered hi head, staring at the floor. I let out a deep sigh, yelling at him would make no difference, what was done, has been done. There can be no reversing it. " Apology accepted. Now, hand me my clothes please."
"I did not apologize, and I do not plan on doing so." He said as he bent down, gathering up my things and tossing them to me.
"Whatever. I'll get you to apologize by morning, you can be sure of that. But first, I need you to turn around so I can change." He did as I had asked; keeping his eyes closed the whole time. "Okay." I said climbing out of the bushes. I walked to the edge of the lake and sat down. I turned to say something, and saw that the prince was watching me. He was leaning on a tree not far off, he had a broad smile on his face, and seemed to be off in La La Land.
"It isn't nice to stare at people, your majesty." His eyes unglazed as I brought him back into reality.
"I'm sorry." He replied.
"For what?"
"Staring at you just now. And for not making my presence known before." A knowing smile spread over my face, he saw this and realized what he had just done. "You got me." He laughed. Cautiously, he came and sat beside me. "You are an extremely unusual elf, if you don't mind me saying." I shook my head and he continued. "You act so hostile towards people, me in particular. But then in a flash you are a total sweetheart! You can be so bossy and stubborn." He shifted his gaze from the calm lake to me. "Also, your outside appearance is very, odd."
"How so?" I asked, meeting his gaze.
"Well, you're only 5'3, yet most elves are 6' or close to it. Your hair is so… black…"he replied, lightly touching my hair. "And your eyes," he continued, holding my chin softly in his free hand, forcing me to look in his eyes, "I could get lost in them…"I couldn't help but blush. No one had ever said anything so nice to me before. My heart began to beat faster as he lowered his face to mine.
His soft lips brushed momentarily against mine. But I gently pushed him away.
""I must go. It is late, and I am cold." With my lame excuse said, I jumped up and started towards the forest. I hadn't gotten very far before a hand grasped my arm and turned me around. It was Legolas, of course. He cupped my cheek with his left hand, caressing it with his thumb. His other hand moved from my arm to my waist. For a moment, neither of us moved, we just gazed into each other's eyes. He pulled my body close to his. I held on to him, as if for dear life. He bent down, and pulled me into a tender, passionate kiss.
