Chapter 20
Discovery
A while later, Natalia tapped lightly on Ami and Legolas' door.
Ami answered with a smile.
"I think I shall take you up on that offer of a bathing spot." She laughed.
"Let me tell Legolas where we are going." Ami poked her head in the door to tell Legolas of their plans.
"Oh, tell him Nurtaur is practicing his archery if Legolas would like to join him." Legolas heard and rose with a smile.
"I have practiced today already..." He winked at Ami and slid a light blue tunic over the thin shirt he had been wearing.
"...but I shall go and speak with him." He kissed Ami's cheek before heading down the stairs.
Ami looked at Natalia with a dreamy expression on her face.
Natalia laughed with a shake of her head.
"Aye, he truly makes you happy, I can see it."
Ami smiled and headed down the stairs.
"Follow me." She threw over her shoulder.
Natalia let out a long sigh, and did just that.
~*~*~*~
Soon they were bathing in the lake, talking and laughing about past happenings.
Natalia was telling a story on how Merry and Pippin had become so drunk at one of Elrond's banquets, that they decided a nice swim would be nice.
Of course being to drunk to realize that they couldn't even swim, they went to the lake and jumped in.
Had it not been for Nurtaur following them, they would have both drown from their stupidity through drinking.
Ami laughed and shook her head. She thought Merry and Pippin to be incredibly adorable.
"Things have become so quiet since you've gone. Your father still wears his smile, but you can tell it is forced upon his dear face. He misses you terribly Neveth."
Ami sighed and began to walk towards the bank.
"I miss him too. He has been the father to me that I have never had." She picked up her long robe and wrapped it around herself. She clasped the little hooks that were at her sides to keep it from opening and revealing her.
It was a silver blue, and flowed when the wind would caress it. It's sleeves hung low, nearly touching the ground.
She sat on a rock and smiled at Natalia.
"This has been the best experience in my life. And I hope it will never come to an end."
Natalia looked up at her.
"Do you truly believe it will end Neveth? That we will be sent back? I cannot go! I am to be married!"
"I do not know whether it will end or not Nev, all that I know is that the more sick I get, the clearer my vision's of home are! It scares me as much as you. For I have no desire to leave Legolas."
Natalia looked back down in the water.
"If it is such a possibility...maybe I should not go through with the wedding."
Ami's head shot up.
"No Nevduliniel! You will marry Nurtaur, and you will be happy! I do not know if what I said is entirely accurate! And besides, I am the one who sees the visions...you are not."
Natalia smiled.
Suddenly, their keen Elven hearing picked up a commotion coming from the center of Lothlorien.
Ami felt a pang in her heart and looked at Natalia.
Natalia had stood, she felt it too.
Ami quickly turned and ran through the woods, as Natalia quickly waded through the water to get dressed.
Ami ran fast and swift, when she finally came through the trees, she saw a group of Elves surrounding something.
Ami quickly began to push her way through them.
She finally broke through them and gasped in surprise.
"Veborion!" She exclaimed as she knelt beside her bleeding friend. Ami felt relief rush over her despite her friend's condition. She had feared it was Legolas.
Ami looked up at the other Elf, who was kneeling beside him as well.
"Haldir." He looked at her and then back down at Veborion.
"I found him under some brush in the woods. He has been struck from the side, and seems his body carries many scratches and bruises, from the drag I would imagine."
"The drag?"
"Yes, he was dragged from the place he was attacked to the brush. I followed the drag mark until I came across his horse..."
Haldir paused and looked back up at her.
"His horse has been slain."
Ami put her hand to her mouth and looked down at Veborion.
"Someone had better get him to a hut. Tend his wounds and keep him warm. He should stay under watch, and inform me the instant he awakes." Ami began to give orders as some Elves stepped forward to fulfill them.
Just then someone else pushed through the crowed.
"Neveth!"
Ami looked up to see in time to see Legolas break through the crowed of Elves with Nurtaur close behind him. They must have felt it too.
She stood quickly.
"Legolas!"
Legolas rushed to her side. He himself had felt relief rush over him when he saw her stand. He had feared it was her.
"Are you well?" Ami nodded. She looked down at Veborion and so Legolas did the same.
"Veborion! What has happened?"
"He was attacked, all is well now, we will tend to him." Haldir said as he stood.
Legolas couldn't help the scowl that formed on his face at Haldir.
Haldir ignored it and turned his attention back to Ami.
"He was not hidden well, I believe the one who did this meant for Veborion to be found. And only an Elf could sneak up on another Elf without the other detecting something. I cannot believe an Elf who could do this still."
Ami cast her gaze to the Elves who carried Veborion away.
"I do." She said hatefully.
"Neveth..." Ami looked up at Nurtaur and smiled.
"Where is Nevduliniel?" At the question, Ami's mind cleared.
"She is that way, at the lake." Ami pointed in the direction.
Nutaur nodded and headed off to find her.
Legolas clasped Ami's arm and began to lead her away from Haldir.
When they got to their flet and closed the door behind them, Ami let out a great sigh.
"He is hurting my friends to get to me." She said at last.
Legolas looked at her.
"You believe it to be Malfanion's work?" Ami raised her head to look at him.
"You do not?"
Legolas walked over and sat on the bed next to her.
"I believe it to be a possibility, thence for you must be careful." He took her hands in his and brought them to his lips.
Ami smiled.
"What would I do without you Legolas?" He smiled at the question.
"You couldn't. Let's leave it that." Ami laughed and nodded.
Legolas reached out and took her face in his hands. He pulled her forward till their lips touched in a chaste kiss.
Soon their kiss began to grow sensual. It didn't take long for Legolas to reach over and unclasp the hooks on Ami's robe.
He pulled it from her body, and she began to fumble with his tunic clasps. She did not want to break their kiss.
She finally gave up and pulled it over his head.
She then moved in and began to untie the ties on the shirt he wore under the tunic, when a knock came on the door.
They pulled away from the kiss and Legolas groaned.
Ami began to laugh, and then so did he.
"Just a moment!" He yelled, and then pulled himself off of Ami.
He picked her robe off of the floor where he had thrown it, and handed it to her.
She wrapped it around herself before he opened the door.
Ami heard laughter and knew instantly it was Natalia and Nurtaur.
"Are we disrupting something Legolas?" Nurtaur asked in a teasing tone.
"Of course not! What ever would make you think that Nurtaur?" Legolas tried to cover up. Nurtaur laughed and his sight directed briefly to the middle of Legolas. Legolas glanced down, and Natalia began to laugh when his ear tips turned red.
Ami walked up to the door, and Legolas couldn't have been more grateful. He quickly slid behind her as to hide himself.
Nutaur laughed at his friend and began to shake his head.
"Hallo, what brings you two here?" Ami said with a grin as she let Legolas slide behind her. She knew why they were teasing him, and no matter how much it made her want to jump him when his ear tips turned read, she couldn't let him stay embarrassed for long.
"We came to talk to you about our wedding plans." Natalia informed.
"Well, come on in." Ami moved aside and let the other couple in.
Legolas seemed to be well now, so he walked with them into the room.
"So...when do you plan on getting married?" He asked as he took a seat.
Nurtaur and Natalia looked at each other, then back at Ami and Legolas.
"Today." They said together.
