Disclaimer: Sorry for lack of chapters…(Easter shopping for family I don't even know) Thanks for reviews For all confused people out there…cause personally I was a bit confused myself…well basically Legolas was stolen from Thranduil by some…bad people (mostly men) Before that Aragorn and Legolas had a relationship, (not gonna get into that) and because Legolas ages slower he still is considered young…(at least to me…I think he's 500 in elf years…ok so maybe that's not young…but ^^) Thranduil asked Aragorn to help find him. And the reason Legolas can't remember will be explained later…(don't wanna destroy the story ^^) As for when…well before the ring…(not to sure myself)

Legolas stared, wide-eyed at the hobbits in front of him.

"See! See! I told you I saw one!" the young hobbit girl yelled pointing to him. The rest of the hobbits stayed silent though, simply staring at him.

"Legolas!" Aragorn stopped to infront of the hobbits. "Um…Hobbits…can…you lend us a place to stay?" He asked trying for the right words to say.

The hobbits were silent. All, except for one, an elderly hobbit appeared before the crowd, she had long, shabby robes on and her curly brown hair was speckled with gray.

"You can spend some nights in my home…" she said walking to the elf, and placing her wrinkly hand on his check. Legolas looked at her with a grateful look in his face.

"Thank you…" he said to the women.

"Are you crazy?!" some of the villagers yelled "If you bring an elf into your home your just looking for trouble!" they told her.

"If any of you had sense you would do the same…I would gladly help an elf the strayed into my yard, I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I would welcome them with open arms." She stated glaring at the selfish hobbits.

"Thank you ma'am." Aragorn said bowing before her. She nodded and lead the two to her home. The villagers quarreled to themselves about what she was doing as the three walked away. Legolas stayed a good distance from Aragorn as they walked.

"Listen Legolas…You just have to trust me…If you do it will makes sense…" Aragorn said trying to move next to the elf. Legolas shifted in the other direction and ran up to the old woman that was leading them.

"What's your name, boy?" the hobbit asked startling Legolas and causing him to jump a bit. She laughed lightly. "Sorry…I didn't mean to startle you…" she smiled.

"Oh…It's ok…my name..? It's Legolas…" he said skittishly.

"Well…Legolas…Why are you so…fearful…I always was in the impression that elves were very graceful and fearless creatures…" she said almost amused. Legolas looked at her strangely…he didn't know how to answer the question.

"Well…to tell you the truth I don't know…" Legolas said letting his head fall, ashamed of himself.

"Well maybe…he knows." she said mentioning to the range behind them, who seemed to be thinking so hard he didn't notice the two staring at him. Legolas put on a face and looked back to the women from the ranger. "I can see you don't like him…but you could give him a chance…" she said cracking a smile.

"I don't know…before he-"

"What is past is past you must think of the present…" she said cutting him off. "You need to forgive and forget my boy…" she said, more seriously.

"I…" Legolas said uneasily. "I'll try…I guess.." he gave in to her.

"Very good, now, I know you must be wondering what my name is…so I'll tell you, it's Camellia… " she said smiling warmly.

"Oh…um...well thank you for letting us stay at your home for a little bit Camellia…" he said, smiling for the first time in a while.

"You are very cute when you smile you know…" she said looking strait ahead of her and not to Legolas. Legolas blinked but let it pass by and kept walking.

'Maybe I should talk to him…" he thought about the ranger. He daringly went back near the man and looked at him with wonder.

" I thought you were afraid of me…" Aragorn said his eyes, now fixed on the elf. Legolas' expression quickly changed and he wished he hadn't gone back.

"I...I was…b-but…I'm not anymore…" he said mostly lying, he was terrified of him. Aragorn looked to the elf, his expression was kinder and gentler.

"You never were a good liar…" he said smiling slightly. "You would always fumble words and things…" he said as if remembering old times. Legolas looked very confused at him.

"What do you mean…I don't think I've ever meet you before…" he said as if struggling within his own mind.

Aragorn sighed, as if he was frustrated with Legolas "I told you…once we get to Rivendall it will be explained…I am under oath not to tell you anything until then…"
