Chapter 17
Archery Target
Haldir led them on into the woods, until they entered into a clearing of gigantic Malron trees with stairs going up and round with beautiful huts and glowing balconies.
Ami looked up and smiled. The beauty was so great, it took her breath away. Legolas took the opportunity to look upon her face. The glowing of her surroundings highlighted her face in a soft light; making her, to him, more beautiful then any living thing he had ever seen, in all his long years.
Haldir glanced back at them, and took in the beauty of her as well. He halted and turned to them.
"You may dismount now. I will take your horses to the stables, but first I will show you where you shall stay. You will be staying together no?"
"Yes." Ami and Legolas said at the same time. They grinned at each other.
Haldir chuckled and nodded his golden head.
"Very well, gather your things and follow me."
They quickly dismounted and began to unpack their horses. Legolas of course grabbed most, and Ami carried what she could.
They followed Haldir up shiny steps, until finally they came to a silver hut.
"This is where you shall stay. I will leave you two for now and inform the lady of your arrival. I shall return whence she has sent for you." Ami nodded and waved him off.
When he was out of sight, she then turned to help Legolas get settled in.
~*~*~*~
It hadn't been long, when there was a soft knock on their hut door. Legolas was washing his face in the white basin, so Ami walked to the door.
She smiled when she saw Haldir standing there.
"The lady is waiting to see you." He said simply.
"Alright, let me inform Legolas she is waiting."
"Nay my lady, she waits only for you. Legolas will be fine here, and I shall escort you."
Ami felt hesitant. She was hoping that Legolas would be by her side at all times.
"Just a moment." She said then turned to Legolas who was now drying his face off.
"What is it mela?" He asked when he saw the look on her face.
"The lady wishes only me come to her. Haldir said he would escort me." She said as she walked to him.
Legolas felt an uneasy feeling rush through him.
"Do not worry for her Legolas, the lady will not bite." They both turned to the doorway to see Haldir's head poking through the door.
'Nay, tis not the lady's bite I worry about' Legolas thought towards Haldir, but he forced a smile instead and nodded his head.
"I do not wish to go without you." Ami whispered to him.
"I know, but you must. The lady wishes it." Legolas said as he pulled her in and kissed her forehead.
Ami sighed and nodded her head.
"I should be back before long." She said as she turned to go.
She stopped when Legolas grabbed her arm. She turned to him and he leaned down to kiss her lips.
She kissed him back in their sweet chaste kiss and smiled when their lips parted.
"Namaarie." She smiled.
And then followed Haldir out the door. Legolas closed the door with a heavy sigh. All was quiet now she was not there. He finally decided on a nap and jumped onto the bed.
But all he did was think on Neveth. She was everything to him, and he prayed to the valar that she would be well again.
~*~*~*~
Haldir led Ami on in silence, though he would throw the occasional glance over his shoulder.
Ami didn't notice him slow til he was walking next to her.
"You are quiet." He whispered in her ear, causing her to jump. She laughed and shook her head.
"I am tired from the journey is all." Haldir nodded his head.
"I imagine that is not all you are tired from." Ami looked at his face that held a smirk.
"I do not deny that I myself am captured by your beauty in these fair woods. Tis no wonder Legolas has fallen for you so." Ami didn't know how to take that complement so she stayed quiet.
"I have missed you since your last departure from these fair woods milady. I was sad you left." Haldir continued and Ami felt anger flash through her.
"I went where I belonged Haldir." Was all she said. They had arrived at the base of a tree, but Haldir stepped in front of her before she could begin to climb the steps.
"Do not be so cruel Nevethiriel, I mean well in all I say." He said as he began to step closer to her. Ami stepped back and crossed her arms.
"Well or not, my grandmother awaits me." She said and Haldir stopped, he nodded and turned to climb the stairs. Had anyone been watching they would have seen the sigh of relief come from Ami when he had turned. She closed her eyes for a moment, and then opened to follow him. She didn't need another mad Elf with no sense of boundaries on her tail.
~*~*~*~
Ami was led to a place of pure light. It was so bright she almost had to shield her eyes. Haldir bowed and walked away, and soon Ami was able to see the form of a lady through the bright light.
The lady walked forward until Ami was able to see her face, and it held a kind smile.
"Welcome back Neveth." Her voice was powering and beautiful. Ami smiled and bowed.
"I will be straight with you pen-neth, your healing states may prove painful, but the longer they are, the better you shall become. The time that you will spend here depends entirely on your strength. I see much strength in your eyes. And through your guardian, I see, is where your strength comes from. Tell me, where is Legolas? I thought he would accompany you."
Ami looked up at her in shock.
"He did not come as you wished." She finally said. Galadriel looked on at her for a moment.
"I said nothing on his comings." Was all she said.
Ami sighed and rolled her eyes.
'When I get my hands on that scrawny neck of Hladir's I swear to the Gods.' Ami began to think but then the amused smiled that formed on Galadriel's lips reminded Ami that she was able to read her thoughts.
Ami sighed and smiled.
"Haldir has taken to you. He has since before you last left." She said at last. Ami nodded her head. She knew this, but she didn't know how she knew.
"Aye, we best not speak of it to Legolas."
Galadriel smiled. "Very well."
Her meeting with her grandmother was refreshing and wonderful. Ami walked back to her hut with a smile on her face, though she refused to even look at Haldir. The bastard.
~*~*~*~
When Ami pushed open the door, Legolas jumped up from the bed.
"How was it?" He asked with a smile.
"Wonderful." Ami said and pulled him into a passionate kiss.
"It must have been, for you are shining." Legolas said when he pulled away. Ami laughed and pushed him back onto the bed. He leaned up on his elbows as he watched her.
She began to give him his own personal strip show and he was amazed. He had not known that a girl's body could move in such ways. Ami used her dancing techniques from modern days and put on a steamy show. She didn't know why she did, she just felt like it. And lets just say that Legolas did not mind.
When Ami was done with her clothes, she straddled him and smiled playfully.
"I'm gonna blow you away." She whispered in his ear seductively, and then licked it playfully, sending chills to cascade down his spine. And that she did. Legolas was surprised again as how she moved. It was a new experience for him, but not a bad one at that.
When Ami was done with having her fun, she fell asleep peacefully in his arms with a smile on her face.
~*~*~*~
A whole week had gone by with Ami and Legolas in Lothlorien, and Ami was fairing well. She had had no more convulsions, and hardly felt sick, and after the night they had first come, Legolas was constantly asking her to repeat her actions she had done to him that night.
Ami laughed as she thought about this on her way to the lake. There was a clear pool not to far from the magnificent surroundings of huts and staircases, and Ami went there often.
The water was crystal clear and fresh. When Ami arrived, she quickly stripped her clothes and jumped in. She had asked Legolas to join her, but he had been busy during the day with his archery practicing. Ami sighed as she swam around.
The water relaxed her muscles and brought peace to her body. After a while of swimming around she walked to the shallow end and began to rub her soft skin with the cleansing water.
She had her back to the shore, and was standing at waist deep, with her long hair pulled over one shoulder. She hummed softly to herself as she continued to bring her hands up, and let the water cascade down the front of her body.
Ami heard someone walk up on the shore behind her. She smiled and flipped her long dark hair back over her shoulder. She turned expecting to find Legolas standing there. To her surprise it was not Legolas at all.
"Haldir!" Ami gasped, as she ducked low in the water, not that it helped, the water was after all completely see through.
"What in the name of all Valinor are you doing here?" She said angrily. He only smiled at her.
"I was wrong...you are capable of being even more beautiful."
Ami sighed and frowned at him.
"Look Haldir, I know you are quite taken with me, but the thing is, if Legolas were to walk through the clearing now from his archery practicing, there would be nothing on Middle-earth that could stop him from sending one of those arrows straight through you. Do you understand?" Ami said as if explaining to a child. Haldir smiled and nodded.
"Until next time." He said, then turned and was gone as quick as he came.
Ami rolled her eyes and went back under the water. When she came back up she yelped in surprise, for there was yet another blonde Elf watching her on the shore. But this time, it was the right one.
"Legolas!" He smiled at her.
"And who else would it be?" Ami only laughed.
"I heard you speaking with someone, was someone here?" Ami's smile faded.
"Uh, yes." She said as she began to wade towards him.
"Anyone I should worry about?" Legolas asked when she got to him. Ami smiled and slung her arms around his neck.
"Nay, just some Elf who lost his way." She leaned up for a kiss, but Legolas pulled back.
"Twas a HE?" Ami continued to smile.
"Aye, but do not worry melamin, I set him straight." Legolas had to smile at this.
"I believe you did." He said as he leaned down and kissed her lips.
"Come let us return, I feel like resting." Legolas nodded as he let her turn to dress.
They headed back hand in hand, occasionally stopping to exchange small, sweet kisses. Yes, Ami loved being in love.
~*~*~*~
The days went on slowly. Ami began to feel she was ready for her departure, but Galadriel refused to let her leave.
And the small visits from Haldir did not cease. Ami was becoming annoyed with him. He was like one of those pests, that no matter how hard you try to squish it, it still comes back to bother you!
Ami sighed as she followed Legolas out of the hut.
"I just wish for one full day with you, is that to much to ask?" She huffed as she crossed her arms with a pout.
"Neveth melamin, I have told you before, I must continue to practice my archery."
"Yes Legolas, and I have continued to tell you that you are well enough with your archery to hit a moving target without your sight and hearing. Why would one day matter?" Legolas sighed and walked up the steps to her.
"It wouldn't, but I do not feel well enough to sit and read. I need to be active! A lot clouds my mind today, and I need to be rid of it." He caressed her face with the hand that did not hold his long bow.
Ami sighed and nodded her head.
"Well, I shall be in the garden's if you chose to change your mind." She said disappointedly. Legolas almost gave in right then and there, but the dream he had had the night before was haunting him, and he needed some time to himself to think.
He smiled slightly and leaned down to kiss her lips.
"I shall remember that." And with that he turned and walked down the stairs.
Ami crossed her arms once more, and sighed.
She shut the door behind her and began to descend the stairs as well.
She truthfully wanted Legolas there for the reason of Haldir, but she believed Haldir to be no real threat, just a pain in her ass. But still, she knew he wouldn't bother her if Legolas were there. Ami walked on to the gardens in silence, not even aware of what was to come next.
~*~*~*~
Ami sat down on one of the stone-carved benches and closed her eyes. She rested her head back against the tree and let out a heavy sigh.
Ami knew she loved Legolas, but sometimes she wondered if he loved her or his archery better. He kept claiming that she would one day be thankful for his archery skill, and that it would save her someday, but of course she denied it. She would never be thankful for something that came between her and Legolas.
A twig snapping broke Ami's train of thought and brought her back. She opened her eyes and annoyance spread across her fair face.
"Haldir." She said dryly.
Haldir smiled and bowed.
"My lady. I am sorry to sneak up on you, but I could not speak. Your beauty stole the words from my mouth."
Ami rolled her eyes. She was clearly not in the mood.
"Look Haldir, no offence, but you are really annoying me. I came to be alone to think on some things and you are distracting me."
She stood and began to walk past him, but he grabbed her arm. She looked from the grip he had on her arm to his face.
"Nay milady, I know you wanted me to follow you. I have read all your signals clearly, and just as your obedient dog I have followed. Do not take from me my prize." Ami blinked at him.
'Demented asshole.' Ami thought to herself.
"Look Haldir." She started, but was cut off by his lips suddenly pressing against hers.
Ami pushed back against him in surprise.
"Haldir!" But that was all she got out before he pulled her into another kiss.
She tried to free herself from his grip, but he pressed her up against a tree, enabling her to free herself.
He pulled his lips from hers to supply her with some oxygen.
"Haldir cease!" She yelled, but then once again his lips connected with hers. It was a hungry and violent kiss that bruised her lips and made them feel numb.
He pushed his tongue into her mouth and Ami tried to scream. She quickly raised her knee and kicked him.
He pulled back enough for her to hit him again and it made him stumble back. Ami pushed by him and tried to run, but he grasped her wrist and pulled her back to him.
"Haldir! Think of what you are doing! You must stop this now before you do something you'll regret!" She tried desperately, but the look in his eyes told her he was far-gone, and nothing could stop him.
He pushed her down onto the stone-carved bench and straddled her.
Ami fought as his hands began to wander to her most intimate areas.
"Haldir please!" But he heard none of it. He trailed hot kisses on the skin he was exposing as he began to unfasten her dress.
Soon he had unfastened enough to expose her. His eyes took in the sight of her hungrily, and he bent down letting his lips suck where they were not wanted.
ZING!!!
Haldir pulled back in alarm and turned to where he had heard the noise. Sure enough in the tree, a mere centimeter from his head was a golden arrow.
He slowly turned his head to see where it had come from.
And there stood Legolas. He had already fitted his trusty bow with another arrow that was now aimed at Haldir's head.
Anger blazed in his now clouded blue eyes and when he spoke, the very anger that dripped from his words was enough to chill all of Hades.
"Tell me now Haldir, why I should not let this arrow pierce through that worthless skull of yours." He said steadily.
Haldir removed his hands from Ami and she closed her eyes in relief. He got off of her and stood with his hands up.
"Legolas, I am sorry. I do not know what came over me. Please, do not do this."
Legolas lowered his bow, but the anger stayed.
"No Haldir, I will not kill you, for you shall live the rest of your worthless life knowing that you have just violated something pure, and completely out of your reach." Haldir looked at Ami and nodded his head.
He quickly fled from the garden before Legolas could change his mind.
Legolas quickly dropped his bow and walked to Ami.
She sat up and covered herself.
"Are you well? He did not harm you?" Legolas asked with concern etched across his handsome face as he caressed her cheek lovingly.
Ami smiled faintly despite the shaking of her body and shook her head.
Legolas pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
Ami closed her eyes and nuzzled her face into his shoulder, but did not cry. She didn't feel the need to. Haldir had only suffered from his emotions. He knew naught of what he had done.
"I told you my archery would save you someday." Legolas said teasingly and Ami began to laugh.
She pulled back from Legolas and he smiled at her.
He pulled her in by her shoulders and kissed her lovingly.
"Come, we have much to talk about." He said and she nodded. He pulled her up and helped her fasten her dress, he then placed his arm around her waist protectively as he led her back to their hut.

He slowly turned his head to see where it had come from.
And there stood Legolas. He had already fitted his trusty bow with another arrow that was now aimed at Haldir's head.
Anger blazed in his now clouded blue eyes and when he spoke, the very anger that dripped from his words was enough to chill all of Hades.
"Tell me now Haldir, why I should not let this arrow pierce through that worthless skull of yours." He said steadily.
Haldir removed his hands from Ami and she closed her eyes in relief. He got off of her and stood with his hands up.
"Legolas, I am sorry. I do not know what came over me. Please, do not do this."
Legolas lowered his bow, but the anger stayed.
"No Haldir, I will not kill you, for you shall live the rest of your worthless life knowing that you have just violated something pure, and completely out of your reach." Haldir looked at Ami and nodded his head.
He quickly fled from the garden before Legolas could change his mind.
Legolas quickly dropped his bow and walked to Ami.
She sat up and covered herself.
"Are you well? He did not harm you?" Legolas asked with concern etched across his handsome face as he caressed her cheek lovingly.
Ami smiled faintly despite the shaking of her body and shook her head.
Legolas pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
Ami closed her eyes and nuzzled her face into his shoulder, but did not cry. She didn't feel the need to. Haldir had only suffered from his emotions. He knew naught of what he had done.
"I told you my archery would save you someday." Legolas said teasingly and Ami began to laugh.
She pulled back from Legolas and he smiled at her.
He pulled her in by her shoulders and kissed her lovingly.
"Come, we have much to talk about." He said and she nodded. He pulled her up and helped her fasten her dress, he then placed his arm around her waist protectively as he led her back to their hut.
