I haven't seen Legolas in three months. I could hear him in the throne room shouting at Elladan and Elrohir the first four day after they had taken me back.
He eventually gave up realizing that they would not let me leave. I didn't mind. I didn't really. It was the right choice! What is a mere human to a whole Elven kingdom?
I still cry at night. I hate being so trapped. Legolas never had someone watch me all the time. Of course, in the cottage it was just him and I. Now I was stuck inside the castle and could not be seen by anyone.
I learned to see things the way the kings saw it. Only their children saw me. I spoke with them and became close to Violia. She was the oldest daughter to Elrohir.
She sat before me now. She was talking happily about the Mid-Winter Festival that I would not attend. "All the royalty will be there! Even retired old Grandfather! And the Lady Galadriel will be there too! Oh it will be wonderful!"
I sigh and watch as she chants the spell for face changes. I could spell the ear of an orc with as much magic spells that I knew and have nothing happen. "How do you make magic?" I ask randomly.
She looks at me sweetly; "Well you... uh... pull from around you. That's the best I can describe it as."
I smile up at her as she dawns the finally touch to her hair and stands to leave, "Have fun."
"I'll bring you back something Hewen." She tells me then leaves.
I watch as she disappears from my room. Grumbling I turn back to lay down in bed and begin to chant the words.
On and on I say them feeling for the "pull" Violia told me about. I am just about to give up when I feel like someone is listening.
Opening my eyes I see I am alone. I close them again and begin to chant again. That feel as if I am being watched continues.
"Who's there?" I finally say. Nothing replies but the being watched feeling grows in me.
"Please..." I whimper to nothing and then it hits me.
I roll out of my bed in shock from all the power. "What do you want to look like?" A misty voice asks.
Before I can say anything I see what I wish to be in my mind. Suddenly the power is gone, I guess I asked too much of it. Standing up quietly, like I had recently become I frowned.
I hated become such a dull lifeless doll but being around the elven maiden had done that to me.
I suppose the human in me was screaming for revenge and noise. Sitting on the bed I took a fold between my hands and began to think of Legolas again.
My birthday would be coming soon. He always got me something I wonder if he'll send me a gift through the twin Kings...
Out of the corner of my eyes I saw an elven maiden sitting near by. I turn to glare and realize I am staring at the mirror.
"Oh Valar... it worked!" I gasped dashing to the mirror to stare at my clear perfect BLUE eyes. Blonde hair tumbled down my shoulders. I touch my ghastly pale skin and smile.
"I look like an elf! Oh I will be just divine! I'll find a high collar dress to hide this necklace, Legolas will know it's me if he sees it." I say to myself shifting through my clothes.
I grab a pretty green dress and place a pretty leaf brooch I took from Legolas. He will never miss it, I doubt he remembers he has it. It was buried at the bottom of his trinket box.
Placing the leaf on my yellow cloak it holds it together and I look wild. I frown thinking, I'll strand out like a bent arrow. I go back a find a light gray cloak that hides my bright green dress. The only thing with much color on me now it the brooch that can hardly be seen.
I slide out of my room hoping no one is watching. Two elves leave when only one entered would be hard to explain.
By the time I found my way around to the festival, for I had not really be in the city surrounding the Kingdom, the celebration was in full swing.
Stalls with warm food and good clothing were what was being raided most by the hungry-to-trade elves.
I smile softly as I see a stand trading barrettes. I had thousands that Legolas always gave me. I kept all of them and now that I could no longer go back to the cottage I had none.
I quickly paced over to the stand and begin to talk with the vendor. I find the prettiest and most expensive looking barret and I tell him I want that one.
The man smiles at me as he hands over the barrette for me to look at. "Dear Lady. I say that barrette looks good on you but I think there are better choices." Someone says.
I turn jauntily to see Legolas. I contain my shock and just shrug, "I prefer to have this one."
I turn back to the vendor and remove the brooch from my cloak. "Will you take this in exchange for this darling barrette?" The vendor nods quickly.
"No you will not because it is not hers to give." Legolas steps in.
I growl, "It was a gift from a friend."
His face suddenly softens as he reaches for his sword. I tense up in fear. "Sir, would you take some of my gold for that barrette. I will not let that lady part with MY brooch."
I see the vendor wondering if he should argue or just take the gold. He chooses the later, which was the wise decision as Legolas forcefully drags me away his hand on his sword.
