know the ending.. so um... your guess is as good as mine! Hehehe!
Legolas parted from Arownen to sleep in his chambers. His bed as just as comfortable as Arownen's though he didn't know if she was pleased to have him leave her bedside. He awoke the next morning and dressed in his green tunic an got ready to leave. His heart was heavy, heavier than it had even been.
He when into his fathers study and saw Haldir and a group of men around his father's desk. His father was seated in great thought. He entered the room silently and stood next to Haldir. Haldir noticed him and backed away, Legolas was a few inches taller.
The king turned to look at Legolas and his face changed from serious to weary and grief. Legolas questioned him with his eyes and the king only looked down again at the parchment he was holding
"Legolas, this is for you." The king trailed off.
Legolas took the parchment and saw beautiful markings of it of letters. They were graceful and the person or elf that wrote them was gifted with quill and ink. It read:
Dear Legolas,
You will not find my in my chambers nor in the glade or stables. I have gone to my home and I was sure that saying good-bye would hurt both of us. I love you so much, look to the stars when you miss me and I will look as well. I'm sure I will see your face sparkling up in the evening sky as I saw it when I first met you and when e spent our time together in Mirkwood. I am saddened to leave your wonderful country, and mostly to leave you. I wish you no ill bearings, for when you go to Helms deep, rather wish you to return to your home. Please come home Legolas, and then maybe I too will come home.
Love,
Arownen
Legolas now did not care about anything else but Arownen's words. They were flowing through his head like her words on the first night they met, soft like a river. He could smell her hair feel her skin but then he put his hand to his heart. The ring Arownen had given him, it gave him strength and he knew they would meet again, someday.
"When did she depart." He said. Then he turned o his father that shook his head and the others looked away, pretending not to know.
"Sometime this morning or maybe it was last night, late though. None of the elves that keep watch saw or heard her leave." The king said. "All I know is she took the untamed horse. You know, the one with the white body and brown and blonde main." He said.
Legolas nodded and left the room running to the stables. He saw his horse rearing up and turning in circles in its sable. Legolas opened the door and got on it.
"Norrow! Run on!" he said to his horse. The horse took of at lightning speed running through the trees soundlessly. The white steed ran through the forest in hopes o finding Arownen. Legolas urged him on until later that day towards the evening the horse began to tire and they ere at the borders of the forest.
Legolas ran up the tree were he had first seen Arownen. He looked out, his slender hand shading his eyes to strive to see the maiden in the night. He saw nothing, his eyes could not see over the plains to were she was. He went down the tree and slowly to his horse.
He sat down and his horse lay beside him. They sat there, in the night, not seeing or hearing anything. He thought of his father and what he was going to do to him when he found out her had not gone with Haldir. He got to his feet an to his horses bad.
"Now my friend, we must find Haldir, I must go with him. Norrow!" and the steed ran. They set out towards the western edge of the forest, not running as fast as they did to catch Arownen, but at a quick pace. Unless the Elves had great horses like Legolas's, they were not out of Mirkwood.
They later came to Haldir and his group of some fifty elves from Mirkwood. Their hair all gold and eyes all blue, they did not even seem to be sleeping though laying quietly o the grassy ground. Legolas quickly found Haldir in the company and talked with him and to say why he missed them leaving.
"Haldir, I'm sorry for not leaving with you this morning. I come to you now, even when I have lost something so beautiful and pure." Legolas bent his head towards the ground and bowed. Haldir bowed back.
"Legolas." Haldir started. "You do not need to come with me, go find her. I will tell your father you came just the same."
Legolas looked at him, his eyes were speaking true. He did wish not to fight, and he begged to find Arownen, but he had to go to Helms deep, whether his father knew that he did or not.
"Well Haldir, though you are most kind, I wish to accompany you. This is what I must do. I will find Arownen as soon as the battle is over." He said.
Haldir nodded and looked through the forest. Something white and glimmering was in to mists. It started coming towards them. Sounded a little like the sound of hoof beats. Legolas looked at Haldir and they both ran for a tree. Up the tree, they climbed until they could see at least 50 feet of the hidden ground beneath them shrouded under trees of black.
They saw a horse of white and a maiden with hair of a strange color. It looked like gold but could have been red when the moonlight hit it. They decided to capture her before she came to their camp.
They jumped softly down and notched arrows. It was a lady elf, with strawberry gold hair. Legolas starred at her and so did Haldir. They were both confused and amazed at her hair that they did not notice her eyes. They were deep green like, simmering emeralds. She was wearing a deep red tunic, a strange color but it suited her hair. She had on high gray boots and in a braid of her hair, there was placed a single feather, of an eagle's perhaps. She did not look evil but they took no chances. Haldir answered first.
"Stop! Who are you?" he commanded. Her eyes looked deep before she spoke soft slender words with her full pink lips.
"Taramien, daughter of no one I come of my own free will to places were I venture to. I am controlled by no lord, dark or not." She growled at him. Her look was deadly, if it had not been for that she was beautiful when she spoke.
"I am Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood, and my company..." he said turning now to Haldir, "Is Haldir, captain of Lothlorien. You will speak friend and ally or you will perish!" He commanded.
"For captain or king, I will speak no humble words." She said and she spat at their feet.
They looked at each other in surprise, not halting their arrows for a second. Then, with speed she could not stop, they were upon her horse and they bound her hands feet and legs.
Legolas ripped part of his white shirt under his green tunic. He covered her mouth and bound it behind her head so she could not speak. She glared at him with a passion, as if wanting to cut off his head with a sharp long blade she had in a sheathe on hip. She also carried a quiver full of arrows.
He smiled at her and grazed her cheek with his slender hand. For a moment, she closed her eyes as he slipped his hand down her face and neck ,but when he took his hand away, her eyes opened and all frustration and hatred returned to them.
He sighed and spoke with Haldir who was examining her from the horse. They had taken her down and the horse stood silent and asleep. He looked down to Legolas who had her pinned on the floor.
"She is a lovely maiden. If she had not this attitude of hate towards all that pass her." Legolas said. He came to his feet and Haldir jumped from the horse.
"Indeed Legolas, and her hair amuses me, nothing have I seen as this color of red and gold, like the sun in a sunset, or perhaps a sunrise. I have not decided yet." He said as he took some of her straight strawberry hair into his creamy soft fingers. She pulled away instantly.
The elves at this time were arising at the noise with wonder of what had happened. When they saw the maiden, they decided to look at her in the morning. All was quiet once they feel back asleep.
"What shall we do now Legolas?" Haldir asked.
"Nothing, just sit and wait for the sun." Legolas responded.
"And what of the maiden."
"Well, my friend Haldir, I guess we keep her prisoner."
Legolas picked her up to her bound feet and carried her in his arms to an area of grass with a small tree in the middle.
"You shall sleep here with Haldir and I." He said as he laid her down and tied her to a tree with some thin silver rope.
"Good night." Legolas said at last, then he laid down and fell asleep with the voice are Arownen running through his head. He missed her so and he dreamed of seeing her all through the night.
This is so crazy. I did not know at all what my hands were going to type with this chapter.. though I hope you like it.. Even though Legolas and Arownen don't stay together. well.. maybe they don't. you'll just have to see! REVIEW!! PLZ!! ITS LIKE NO ONE LIKES MY STORIES!"Tear"
Legolas parted from Arownen to sleep in his chambers. His bed as just as comfortable as Arownen's though he didn't know if she was pleased to have him leave her bedside.
