Lol, (Always wanted to say that!) Teiya is such a fickle wench! Thanks to my reviews, you keep me going! Hi Nevdhoniel! (did I spell that right?) HI Danielle, Haldir is in this chapter and I'll try to slip him in more often!!
Chapter 68--At Arrow Point
Teiya managed to hide herself without getting caught and watched Legolas undress. Elrond was handsome, but Legolas was, well, beautiful was the only word she could think of to describe him. She was sorry when he entered the water. She hadn't had a lover in a long while. She wondered if Legolas would be more open to it then Elrond. She'd have to find out, provided she could talk to him when his guard wasn't around.
Suddenly some thing sharp pricked her in the back. "What do you think you are doing, Human?" a voice snarled.
Teiya swallowed and looked over her shoulder to see another Elf with an arrow notched and aimed at her. He was blonde like Legolas, but had gold eyes. "I-I, who are you?" she sputtered.
"Haldir, but I am asking the questions here," he said. He glanced towards where Legolas and Qui were swimming. "I believe my young friend would not appreciate knowing that he was being spied on as he bathed."
"I-I am sorry. I will go at once," Teiya said and stood up. The arrow followed her unerringly.
"Yes, you will, but not alone. I believe we will go see Aragorn about this," Haldir said.
Teiya groaned inwardly. Strider would be furious and when Stalker found out he would be too. "Please, it is not necessary to bring him into this. It will never happen again," she pleaded.
Haldir gestured with the arrow. "Move, your behavior will be reported," he said.
Reluctantly Teiya obeyed. She was acutely aware of the stares that followed their progress through the camp. She wished she could disappear. She was so ashamed. Much to soon for her taste, they found Aragorn and much to Teiya's distress Stalker was with him.
Aragorn frowned. "What is the meaning of this, Haldir?" he asked.
"I found this woman spying on Legolas while he was bathing. I brought her to you, so you could deal with the problem," Haldir said. "I will return to my patrol now." He nodded politely to Stalker then left.
Both men were scowling at her and Teiya blushed in humiliation. She knew what was coming. "I am sorry. I meant no harm," she said.
"Go back to your post! I will deal with you later!" Stalker growled.
Glad for the brief respite, Teiya hurried away, but she dreaded what would happen later when Stalker had the time.
Stalker sighed. "I do not know what has gotten into her. She has never acted like this before. I am sorry, Strider. I will be stricter with her this time." He excused himself and walked off.
Teiya hurried towards the healers with her head down and bumped into an Elven woman. "I am sorry, I was not looking," she gasped.
"It is all right, child," The woman said. "I am Galadriel and you are Teiya."
"How did you know my name? I am sorry, please excuse me, but I have to get back to my place," Teiya said.
"There is no hurry and I know many things that others do not. Come with me. I would talk to you," Galadriel said. She led Teiya into the trees and away from camp. "Haldir told me what happened. So tell me child, why are you trying to cause strife? Why are you helping Rian?" she asked.
Teiya's face whitened. "I-I do not know what you are talking about," she protested.
Galadriel stared at her, eyes serene. "Lying will not help you, child. I can see straight through them. Answer my questions and perhaps I can help you," she said.
Teiya stared at the regal Elf. "You will not turn me over and tell them?" she asked.
"No, if you tell me what hold he has over you and what you were to do," Galadriel said.
Teiya stared at her. "Are you a sorceress?" she asked.
Galadriel smiled in amusement. "Some say that. Enough, child, you have not answered my questions," she said and waited.
Teiya opened her mouth, not certain what she was going to say or even if she was going to lie or tell her the truth…
Duh, duh, dum, so what is going on? You'll find out in the next chapter! R/R please!!!
