Hehe. I was totally busy this past month that I forgot to write chapter 6
of my story, "Passion's Promise" . I admit, I am totally blank-headed as I
am tapping my computer keyboard at this very moment. talk about loss of
concentration. well, I'm hopping you'll read this chapter though, even
it's kind of dull.
(please. email me for suggestions at elz_greenleaf@yahoo.com)
CHAPTER 6
The bright light that shone at her face awakened Esilan. She blinked a few times before becoming totally aware of the morning. She smiled as she remembered the night before. Sitting up, Esilan gazed at the empty space beside her. She knew that Legolas got up earlier because she heard him stir at dawn; leaving her with a peck on the forehead. A couple of droplets of blood stood out starkly against the white sheet. Loud footsteps echoed on the hallway outside the room. Curious, she got up and slid into her nightgown that lay at the foot of the bed. She slipped out of Legolas' bedchamber and raced into her room. As she was tying her belt, a knock on the door sounded followed by a familiar voice, Arwen's. "Are you coming down for breakfast?", Arwen asked through the door. "In a minute!", Esilan replied as she ran to the door. She pulled the door open a few seconds later and followed Arwen down to the dining room. Lord Elrond was already sitting down and having his fill of dried fruits and some white cakes. "Good Morning!" Esilan and Arwen greeted their father at the same time. Esilan gulped when she noticed her father eyeing her strangely. It's as if he's trying to scrutinize everything on her mind. During, their entire breakfast, heavy silence enveloped the three. It was deafeningly silent if you think of it. Esilan began to wonder if they know what happened last night. (they don't! haha) After breakfast, she went out, hoping to run into Legolas. Cursing under her breath, she sprinted across the bridge when she saw Boromir coming up behind her. But he was too quick for her. Grabbing her wrist, he pulled her back and held them tightly. "Running again?", he asked with a smirk. "I'm surprised you could walk, even run after what happened last night. I'm sure you were bedded well." Blood rushed to her cheeks and she felt them becoming warm. "So, what did you do last night? Sneak up somebody else's window and nosed in somebody else's business?" Esilan hissed. Boromir laughed. "All it takes is a look around the room a morning after. I know you're up to something when I saw you slip out your room last night." Esilan wiggled out his tight grasp and faced him. "Then, your sneaking into the hallway last night!!!" she smirked accusingly. Flame burned in Boromir's eyes. "I was hoping it could have been me instead of Legolas." He whispered as he bent down to smell her hair. Esilan pushed him away. Too strong perhaps, that he toppled to the ground. "Stay away or I will kill you with my bare hands!" she glared at him and turned on her heels, running away. She heard Boromir's laugh behind her. "You could have enjoyed it if was me!" he called back.
She raced to the woods and found Legolas sitting on top of a boulder. He heard her walking and he smiled. "Your up!" he said. "How are you feeling?" Esilan grinned. "Great!" Legolas looked down, "About last night." his voice trailed off. Esilan cupped his cheeks, "Nauthannen i ned ôl reniann" she said smiling. Legolas looked up at her and he smiled. "I was carried away by my feelings. I never thought I could do that. I'm sorry if I hurt you. If you know what I mean." he grinned. Laughing, Esilan told Legolas everything was fine; also Boromir's knowledge about the incident. "Maybe they will all know." Esilan worried a little. " It's okay, I'm here, Just beside you.", Legolas said warmly. Esilan hugged him and smiled. "Ich liebe, Legolas." The bushes rustled and Esilan pulled away. Legolas prepared his bow. "Esilan! Legolas!" Elrond said angrily. Esilan gulped and glared at Boromir who stood proudly behind father.
