Melian looked around the brightly lit room, worried. She had not seen her
daughter for quite a while. Anyone she asked had not even noticed the
princess' absence. Finally, she spotted an elf-lad who could help her.
"Cele!" She called. Celeborn raised his eyebrows in response. "Have you seen Luthien? I seem to have misplaced her!"
"Yes, she headed off with Lady Artanis a little while ago." He replied. "Perhaps Luthien took the Lady to visit her room?" He suggested. Melian thanked her Nephew and set off in the direction of the Princess' bedroom.
Luthien started at a sudden knock on the door. Artanis jumped ever so slightly, but she still held Luthien.
"You may come in." Luthien called, still a little teary-eyed. Melian slowly opened the door. Her eyes widened with concern as she saw her daughter, face slightly pink, with tears running down silently.
"Luthien? What is troubling you, my dear?" Melian walked over in less than three strides and sat on the other side of her beautiful daughter. Artanis bowed her head.
"Shall I leave you two to talk?" She asked. Melian looked at Luthien, then Artanis. She nodded, but smiled her thanks for staying with her daughter.
"Thank you, Lady Artanis." Luthien said softly. Artanis stroked her soft hair once more, and then left the room.
Artanis walked slowly back to where all the other Elves were. Luthien didn't adore Celeborn. She loved him very much. And she thought he didn't love her as much any more. She would have to tell him. Suddenly, she realised that Luthien had not told her why she thought Celeborn could fall in love with her. Oh well, she was upset. I expect she will tell me later. She walked into the room. Celeborn was on the outside balcony, alone, just looking over the forest. She touched his shoulder lightly. He turned around, but he didn't look surprised. She stood next him and leaned on the balcony railing as well.
"Luthien misses you." She told him simply. He looked at her, eyes wide.
"Why? How? What did she say?" He began, but Artanis held up a hand.
"Relax Celeborn, there is plenty of time for questions. Let me answer one at a time." He nodded his response.
"Firstly," she continued, "She says that you have not been paying much attention to her lately. And she is not used to that. She waved to you earlier tonight, and you looked away. She is young and doesn't understand that you simply did not see her. I think that perhaps, go and see her. Spend time with her. She was quite upset at the fact that you didn't seem to love her as much anymore." Celeborn opened his mouth to protest. "I know that you do love her and will never stop loving her, but I will say it again; she is young and does not understand." Celeborn nodded.
"Shall I go now then?" He asked. Artanis reached for his hand. A few Elves looked over with interest, but gradually began talking again. Celeborn looked at Artanis. She stared back with unblinking eyes.
"Well, Melian is with her at the moment, and I have been looking for an opportunity to talk to you all tonight." She said quietly, so as not to be overheard. He nodded again.
"Another walk, perhaps?" He asked. She smiled. She liked the way he understood her meaning quickly without having to question her. ~*~
A/N: I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry! I can't believe I forgot about this story. This is a VERY short (Not to mention CRUMMY!) chapter, but it's the best I can do for now. It's going to be the Easter holidays in 3 days now, and I have had so many problems, with getting assignments in on time, etc. I had this Computing assignment (group work), and GUESS who had to do the whole thing all by herself? Uh.no, actually, I'm talking about me, not my friend. Plus I've been really depressed lately with all these other problems which are not related to school at all. But that's another story, and not one I'm going to write down yet..hmm..I have an idea for a new story.. ^_^ Anywayz, I hope you enjoyed this amazingly..short...chapter..if you can even call it a chapter. Thank you so much for the reviews! :D Cyaz! I'll update ASAP.
