Song For Nought

~

Waenmetiel seethed when Legolas looked at Nuquer, he still had the look of want in his eyes, Waenmetiel felt her jealousy rage within her.

"How do we expose her though?" Elrond and Glorfindel were continuing their conversation from last night.

"Maybe we could get Haldir to make her open up to him?" Glorfindel suggested.

"I doubt it." Elrond was racking his mind for any possible idea. "You know something I did notice though?"

"What is that?"

"Waenmetiel seems to look at Legolas a lot." Elrond started.

"You don't think." Glorfindel trailed off.

"It makes sense though! Waenmetiel came to visit, maybe without any purpose, she sees Legolas and wants him. Nuquer and Legolas were still together when she came, and Nuquer's strange behavior all started right after Waenmetiel arrived."

"You're right!" Glorfindel exclaimed and Elrond continued.

"Soon Nuquer has stopped liking Legolas entirely, that's odd seeing as the two had just begun their relationship. So know that Nuquer is out of the way, Waenmetiel can go ahead and try for Legolas but, Maik and Ven see how strange Nuquer has been acting and call Nuquer's best friend, Melde, to come and help them. Melde comes and Waenmetiel knows she'll figure it out so, Waenmetiel does something to prevent Melde from noticing." Elrond stopped there.

"You're right, it all makes sense." Glorfindel sat back in his chair thinking on this whole idea. "What in the world did Waenmetiel do to Melde though and Nuquer?"

"I read about it last night after the feast, in a magic book I found in the very bottom of my bookshelf. It's magic that has been forgotten for ages and it has spells to make people fall out of love and memory loss." Elrond looked at Glorfindel and the two were sure they had figured out what Waenmetiel was up to.

"It was hilarious!" Elrohir commented after Legolas got through telling the story of the first time the girls had met the boys and Nuquer had made her infamous crash-landing through the door.

"Oh, I wish I could have been there!" Melde laughed along with the rest. They had spent the past two hours retelling stories of things that had happened so far this summer from the good, the bad, and the even worse.

"Oh, the times we've had this summer!" Maik lay back in the shallow water.

"I'll never forget this." Legolas smiled sadly.

"I've had some of the best and worst times of my life this summer." Nuquer nodded in agreement.

"I think we all have!" Ven smiled.

"Of only I could remember!" Melde laughed along with the rest.

"Yes, home is going to be very boring compared to being here you all of you." Legolas looked around.

"Rivendell will never be the same!" Elladan shook his head.

"Yes, just think we'll have the leave and get on with our lives. The next biggest thing we all have the go through is finding our husbands and wives!" Legolas said exasperatedly.

"That's going to be fun." Nuquer said quietly.

"Waenmetiel asked me to go traveling with her-"

"That was very nice of her." A new voice joined the group, it was Elrond with Glorfindel at his side.

"Yes, it was." Nuquer said with obvious disgust.

"Yes, but I don't think I'm going to go." Legolas finished his sentence.

"Why not?" Maik asked looking up at him.

"I don't know, I guess I don't really want to. To many things have happened and I'm just going to go home and gather myself." Legolas said with a look at Nuquer that made her blush furiously.

Waenmetiel let out an angry sigh when she heard this, Legolas would come with her if it was the last thing she did and Nuquer can't do anything about it! Not only was Waenmetiel angry about Legolas's refusal but she noted that Nuquer's spell was wearing off.
