Song For Nought

"Legolas, we'd like to talk with you, if you don't mind." Elrond smiled Legolas.

"Sure." Legolas complied and stood to follow Glorfindel and Elrond away from the others.

"What do you think that is all about?" Maik asked quietly of the others.

"Do you think they've figured this all out!?" Ven asked excitedly, not caring that Nuquer was listening.

"Figure what out?" Nuquer was confused.

"Why you stopped liking Legolas." Ven said bluntly.

"Oh." Nuquer looked down at the water in, she did still like him.at least she thinks she does.

"It's ok Nuquer, it was just all kind of odd how this all happened, we think that maybe someone-"

"Waenmetiel" Maik interjected Elladan.

"Ok, Waenmetiel might have put you under a spell or something to make you stop liking Legolas and make you like Elrond."

Nuquer's face turned brilliant red when Elladan said this, it was true, although Elrond had just shown up and Nuquer hadn't felt anything.

Waenmetiel was frozen in the bushes, curse them all! They had figured it out, now what was she to do!?

~

"Legolas, has Waenmetiel been talking to you a lot lately?" Elrond asked after they had walked away from the group.

"Well, not really all that much, she talked to me yesterday though." Legolas had a small feeling he knew what this was all about.

"We just had out thoughts about this situation, surely you know what we are talking about?" Glorfindel looked down at Legolas, his blue eyes shining in the afternoon sun.

"I think so, the others think that someone-"

"Waenmetiel?" Glorfindel asked.

"Yes, that maybe Waenmetiel did something to Nuquer and Melde and that she likes me or something." Legolas looked a bit embarrassed at saying this to two powerful elf lords.

"It's all right, we were thinking the same thing." Elrond assured Legolas.

"She did ask me to go traveling with her after this summer was over, and she talked to me about Nuquer, telling me I needed to get over her." Legolas's eyes suddenly flamed with recognition, Waenmetiel did like him!

Waenmetiel slowly backed out of the bushes and ran towards her room, she had to get out of here, and now!

She rounded the corner to her room and there was Haldir coming down the hall towards her, he spotted her before she could turn to leave though.

"Waenmetiel!" Haldir greeted her enthusiastically.

"Hello, Haldir." Waenmetiel forced a smile and headed towards her door, "I was just about to start packing, if you don't mind."

"Are you leaving so soon?" Haldir's face fell into a frown.

"I'm afraid so, I have so many more things to do and see." Waenmetiel smiled once more and dashed into her room slamming the door behind her.

Haldir stood, still quite unsure of what just happened, had indeed really happened.

~

"I just thought of something." Nuquer said to the others.

"What?"

"I think I might have been under a spell."

"Why's that?" Maik asked, getting excited.

"Because, I think it's wearing off."
