Chapter 3.
--------Gwen's pov---------
It had been 17 hours since she and Legolas had left Mirkwood and Gwen noticed that she was starting to get hungry.
She also noticed that Legolas was starting to get tired. Every now and then, he would lean on Gwen's back and close his eyes.
She looked at him.
He looked so beautiful with the light shining on his blond hair and he looked so innocent.
// And cute//
Gwen sighed and turned round to face the front again. She and Legolas didn't seem to be talking to each other for some reason, Gwen wanted to find out.
She wanted to know why Legolas never spoke to her and glared at her all the time. She didn't know if she did something wrong and displeased him. If he only told her why he hated her so much, Gwen was willing to change only to make Legolas happy but Legolas didn't seem to notice this.
Gwen then closed her eyes. It was a very tiring day and she felt like sleeping and eating.
Gwen opened her eyes when she noticed something wet.
// Great, just my luck, it started raining//
It had started to rain.
Gwen looked up at the sky and glared at it. She had enough with rainy days to last her a lifetime.
The rain started to get harder and Gwen finally decided that it was time that she and Legolas found shelter.
" Legolas?" Gwen asked.
" Don't call me legolas, that's prince to you" Legolas replied back harshly.
Gwen snorted and glared at him.
// What is his problem? //
" Well I'm so sorry my *prince* but as you have noticed, it has started to rain and anyone with the right mind would try and look for shelter" Gwen said back to Legolas just as harshly.
Legolas just looked at her, not even blinking an eye. This was making Gwen feel very uneasy.
She didn't really know why she felt this way when Legolas would look at her. This has never happened in her whole entire life before.
Then Gwen finally spoke,
" Let's go and find shelter, no an inn, I' really hungry plus sleepy too"
Legolas finally blinked his eye. Then he nodded his head and made his way to the nearest inn he could find with Gwen right behind him.
---------Legolas pov---------
They had finally reached an inn called the " Bankery Inn" and went inside.
They made there was to the desk and an old man with a long beard greeted them.
" How may I help you?" the man asked kindly.
" We are looking for a room" Legolas replied gently.
Just seeing someone else apart from Gwen was a miracle to him.
" We have a room for you couples, a very fine one indeed," the man said.
Legolas saw Gwen blushed, and then he said,
" We are not couples" in a harsh tone.
This made the keeper jump up a bit.
// Me, a couple, with Gwen? God no//
The keeper looked at the two people who were standing beside him and he smiled,
" Soon you will be," he said rather teasingly.
Legolas saw Gwen blushing harder and he was starting to feel angry.
" Will you just give us a room kind sir?" Legolas said who was trying to ask the keeper as gently as he can.
" Make that two rooms!" Gwen blurted out.
The keeper and Legolas just stared at her.
" What?" Gwen asked feeling rather annoyed.
Then she faced Legolas and said flatly with a tiny bit of a teasing tone,
" Not unless you want to share one?"
Legolas glared at Gwen with angry eyes.
" Who the hell would want to share a room with you?" Legolas replied back at Gwen coldly.
Gwen just glared at Legolas in return.
The keeper sighed, "young love" he thought.
Then he said,
" So, that will be two rooms then?"
Legolas and Gwen nodded their head vigorously and this seemed to make the keeper laugh.
Legolas and Gwen just glared at him.
After paying for two rooms, Legolas and Gwen sat at a wooden table waiting for the food.
Legolas stared at Gwen, he didn't know why but he seemed to like it for some reason.
// You're supposed to hate her//
Legolas blinked, and then he stared at the wall with no real interest.
Not able to look at the wall any longer, Legolas stole a glance at Gwen and saw her looking rather sad.
He could have sworn that he saw tears in her eyes.
Legolas looked at Gwen's face fully and noticed for once that she had green eyes but the silver hair kept on bugging him.
// Since when do people have silver hair?//
Gwen who had seems to notice that Legolas was staring at her looked up at him and glared at him.
// What's her problem?//
Legolas folded his arms crossed his chest and sighed. He looked around and saw many people eyeing Gwen. Sure he had to admit, Gwen was very pretty and Legolas didn't like how these men were eyeing Gwen one bit.
He felt like he had a responsibility over this young woman and he knew that his father would kill him if she got hurt.
// I wonder why he would care though?//
Legolas glanced over Gwen again and noticed that she was staring at her glass with interest.
// Huh? She likes glasses?//
----------Gwen's pov----------
"He's staring at me?" Gwen thought. She knew that Legolas was staring at her for a very long time and she wondered why.
//isn't he meant to hate my guts?//
Then she remembers, she had been crying.
//maybe Legolas pity's me?//
Gwen glanced around the room and saw lots of men looking at her and she felt disgusted.
Not because they were ugly or anything like that, it was because of the way they were looking at her, like a mad man.
Gwen wouldn't dare to admit it but she was very glad that Legolas was with her.
She was very sure that those creeps would make a move on her if Legolas went away.
With that thought, Gwen smiled to herself.
She had always wanted to see Legolas, and she really was seeing him now in real life but she wished to know why Legolas didn't like her.
She would do anything for him.
If only he would understand.
Then Gwen thought about her family.
// I really miss them//
A tear fell down from Gwen's soft fair face.
How she missed her mother telling her that it was time to eat and her dad telling her to do her homework. She even missed the time when she and her brother would fight over the most stupid things. How she wished that she could go home again.
For once, she realised how much her family meant to her and how much she took them for granted.
---------------Legolas pov------------
He saw her smile but then the smile disappeared and a tear came down instead.
He felt pity for her and wondered why she was crying. His anger for her had faded and now he wanted to comfort her.
He hated it when he saw a woman cry.
// Even if it was Gwen//
Not knowing what to do or really say, Legolas came up to Gwen and asked her gently,
" Why are you crying?"
Gwen looked up in him in surprise.
Did she hear right? Did he really ask why she was crying?
Gwen sniffed and answered back in a low voice,
" I miss my family"
Legolas looked at the crying maiden, he should of known better that she would miss her family and friends.
Not knowing what to really do, he grabbed her suddenly and gave her a long deep hug.
Gwen was surprised at Legoas' action and in return, she hugged him back and buried her face in his chest and cried softly.
Legolas too was surprised at his own action. He never thought that in his whole entire life that he would be hugging Gwen. Gwen!
Then he heard someone and turned round, the keeper was they're holding a tray.
The man just grinned at him and gave him the look, " I told you so"
The keeper just dropped the food on the table and left.
Legolas sighed at looked round. He saw the men who were looking at Gwen giving him death glares.
Gwen who had noticed a very yummy smell turned round and saw food!
She quickly let go of Legolas and dashed for her food.
Legolas just stared at her in awe, one minute she was crying her heart out and the next, she was happily eating away.
// At least it makes her happy//
Legolas stared at Gwen and smiled.
He didn't know what had changed him but he was secretly glad that it did.
He saw Gwen look up at him and said,
" Aren't you going to eat Legolas?"
" That's prince Legolas to you!" Legolas said teasingly.
He saw Gwen smirked and heard her reply,
" Whatever"
After they had finished their food, it was already late in the night.
Legolas and Gwen walked up the stairs and headed for their rooms.
Legolas noticed Gwen yawn when she finally reached her room. She looked at him and said
" Good night Legolas"
Legolas smiled at her and replied
" You too"
Before he entered his room.
Legolas was sitting down on his bed; he didn't know why he was starting to be friendly to Gwen. After all, she did ruin his night with Glowien.
Legolas sighed and stared at his door.
He didn't know why, but he liked her, maybe because the way she kept on nagging at him all the time and annoyed him like hell but he was sure about one thing, he liked being with her.
// What about Glowien though?//
Legolas sighed. He was now having mixed feelings about everything. He loved Glowien yes, but he couldn't help but notice Gwen.
"Maybe sleeping would help me think later." Legolas thought.
---------------Gwen's pov---------------
Gwen was sleeping soundly on her bed. She turned round gently on her bed and suddenly felt a cold breeze.
Not knowing where it came from, she turned round again and opened her eyes a tiny bit...
...And gasp...
She saw the men who were eyeing her in front of her bed.
// What the hell are they doing here?//
Gwen started to panic. Who were these people and what were they doing beside her bed?
Gwen's mind started to fill with dirty thoughts.
Gwen peeped a bit and saw that the men were drunk!
// OMG!!!//
