Song For Nought

Maik, Ven, Elladan, and Elrohir all stared at Nuquer, "You like Legolas again?" Ven, stated, not quite sure if she'd heard correctly.

"Yes, I just realized it yesterday. What should I do?" Nuquer knew what she wanted to so, run to Legolas, tell him she was wring and sorry and never leave his arms again.

"I think you should tell him when he gets back!" Elladan was obviously happy that Nuquer had come to her senses.

"But, Legolas was just starting to get over her." Elrohir interjected.

"But he wasn't over her yet!" Ven pointed out.

"Guys! Let Nuquer decide! This is between her and Legolas." Maik hissed at the group trying to keep her voice down so Legolas wouldn't over hear.

Waenmetiel shoved her clothes hap-hazardly into her packs and pulled her pack onto her back, she ran out of her balcony and jumped the few feet down to the ground. She looked around and took off at a run for the gates of Rivendell.

Elrond dismissed Legolas and he and Glorfindel went to find Haldir to get his opinions.

Legolas slowly made his way back to the pond. He stepped out from behind the bushes to find his friends all looking at him and very silent.

"Hello." Legolas went and sat down next to Elladan, "So?"

No one said anything but Legolas caught Elrohir's eyes flick to Nuquer. Legolas had a feeling that they were discussing something about him and Nuquer.

"What's going on?" Legolas asked, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"Legolas we-"

"I have something I want to tell you." Nuquer cut Maik off and moved towards Legolas, "I know and you know this past week or so has been, difficult."

Waenmetiel ran out of Elrond's main hall and right in Elrond himself.

"Waenmetiel, where are you going?" Glorfindel asked her.

"I decided that I need to get on the move again, I've lingered here to long." Waenmetiel's eyes were full of fear and Elrond saw right into them.

"Why didn't you let us know you were going?" Elrond asked moving towards Waenmetiel.

"I didn't want to bother you, you're so busy right now and every thing." Waenmetiel backed up against a wall.

"Before you go, there are some very important things we need to ask you." Elrond took Waenmetiel by the arm and led her back towards his study.

"Legolas, we all think that I was put under some sort of spell to make me stop liking you." Nuquer said, hearing the stupidity in her own head.

If Legolas hadn't just talked to Elrond and Glorfindel he might have laughed at Nuquer, but after figuring out that Waenmetiel liked him and Melde's memory lose he was beginning to think anything was possible.

"I can't say I'm exactly surprised." Legolas committed. "But what made you realize this?"

"Because-" Nuquer began to speak but stopped, as if though she couldn't quite decide what to say next, "Because, I think the spell has worn off." Nuquer blushed.

Legolas was in momentary shock, he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"What.what do you mean?" Legolas moved over to Nuquer and kneeled in front of her.

"I like you, again, or really still. You never left my heart but I know that it was some foul spell that temporarily blinded me." Nuquer's eyes watered as she said this and Legolas took her ands to comfort her.

"It's ok, Nuquer, it's all over now. Elrond and Glorfindel are getting to the bottom of this and now you're feeling better." Legolas smiled hopefully and Nuquer threw her arms around his neck and hugged him. Legolas gathered her into his arms and relished the much missed feelings of having her in his arms.
