I know it's been forever since I've written, but I've been really really busy. So here's the new chapter, how everybody likes. In this chapter Legolas finally realizes that (dun dun dunnn) he actually loves Rowen. There's also some Aragorn cuteness in this chapter^^ .



Chapter 9



Legolas rode in front of everyone, eyes focused ahead. His thoughts were awhirl in his head.



'Why would Saruman wish to capture Rowen? What would he possibly have to gain from her?' he asked himself.



"Lord Legolas" Nyrann said, moving his horse so he was side by side with the elf prince.



"Lord Legolas. I wish to thank you for your help in finding my daughter."



"We haven't found her yet you realize sir."



A small smile flashed quickly across his worried face. "I have complete faith in you to rescue my daughter."



Legolas appeared puzzled. "Why are you so convinced I will succeed?"



Nyrann smiled fully this time. "Because I know you're in love with her." He said quietly. He pulled the reins of his horse and left Legolas to ponder his thoughts again.



'Love her? I was practically pushed into a marriage with her.'



'Because you're her soulmate' part of his mind said.



'I've only just met her' he argued back.



'That doesn't mean anything'



'Why doesn't it?'



'B-because'



'Good argument'



'I can't be in love with her'



'You can and you are'



"I'm in love with her?" he whispered to himself.



He heard a chuckle from behind him and turned to see Aragorn.



"You've finally realized it for yourself have you?" he asked, the corners of his mouth tilting into a smile.



"What? I'm not in love with her!"



"That was the same reaction that I had after I had first met Arwen when I was residing in the house of Lord Elrond."



He sat back in his saddle and looked pensive. "The entire time I sat in the room staring at the ceiling thinking 'I can't be in love with her'. But then I looked into my heart and found her there."



Legolas' eyes lost focused.



"Maybe I do love her." He said, mainly to himself.



Aragorn smiled fully, a sight rarely seen. "Well then, we're going to have to save her, now won't we?"
