I returned home early in the morning exhausted. As I entered climbed the ladder I noticed Tahiel was waiting for me.
'Good morn Tahiel, how did you do today?' I asked politely while trying to be joyful, he obviously was taking none of it.
'The king has requested for you to attend the yearly royal festival next week.' He spoke with a monotone voice stating clearly that he was not at all impressed with the idea of me attending such a thing.
'Tell him I am unable to attend.' Tahiel's face changed to that of utter dismay.
'You can not turn down an invitation from our king, only a fool would do such a thing!'
'Then I am a fool for I am not going!'
'You most certainly are!' his voice angered and I stepped back, not wanting to be caught in his fire that breathed from his mouth.
'I am going to stay here, if you like you may watch and see.'
The next thing I knew a week later my mother was fitting a dress to me!
Tahiel had told my parents of the invitation and they had threatened me with May things so that I would go. TW had also wanted me to find out anything new that we may not have heard of around the forest, not like there could be anything, we knew everything down to which tree fell and where each new flower grew. I do admit that sometimes we miss out on something's but that is why we gather more from fellow warriors or from eavesdropping at royal debates or simple celebrations such as the one I was attending.
'Neverwen, if you do not hold still then I will never be able to tie you hair!' my mothers voice, agitated, worried and nervous. Why did she get to be nervous, I was not allowed to be watchers orders? A nervous slayer equals a trainee slayer.
'I like it down mother, can you not just leave it be?'
'No!' I crossed my arms in frustration.
'You only wish for me to go because you wish for me to find someone there that I may become interested in, not that there will be anyone for me.'
'Why do you think so negative? I believe that one day you will find someone and you will have beautiful children.'
'So I am not beautiful and neither will my betrothed?' she laughed at me and then wrapped her arms tightly around me.
'Oh! Nev, when will you learn that not everything is bad?'
'When I am over 1500 years of age.'
'I do keep on forgetting that you are only young, you have grown so much.' We smiled at one another before we came back to our senses and moved out of the opening and onto the path.
My father and Tahiel were already waiting and behind them just approaching were some of Tahiel's friends, Urana, Kaital and #what a surprise# Legolas. I smiled sweetly at them.
Legolas offered his arm for me to hold but i rejected it and took hold of Kaital instead. We walked up to the palace where many other guests were arriving. I followed Tahiel in leaving kaital's arm go.
'Legolas!' I heard a soulful shout across the room we had entered, King Thranduil was heading over to us.
'Father, you know my friends and this is Tahiel's sister, Neverwen.' Legolas stepped forward placing a hand on his fathers shoulder and stepping to his side to face us.
'My lady, may I have this dance?' it hit me then that I did not know how to dance.
'I am afraid my lord that I am unfamiliar with this dance.' I looked around at Tahiel who was hiding his face. I was an embarrassment to him and everyone now knew it.
'Do not worry my lady we will meet for another dance later.'
'It would be my honour!' Tahiel reappeared showing traces of redness on his cheeks, 'what have you been doing while hiding in yourself.'
He gave me a stern look before walking off, I stood alone watching all around me dancing and laughing unaware of any danger that surrounded them.
I began to feel jealousy towards them, I hated them for not knowing, I wanted to be care free like them, to live without knowing of the danger that surrounded us. I shrugged the feeling off and walked back outside, I found a quiet spot beside a fountain and sat down.
I looked into the water and saw someone that did not look like her staring back, it was a beautiful woman, her hair was done up she wore decorations in her hair and her facial tone was smoother and coloured. It was she but the beautiful side a side that rarely came out to show itself.
I became so lost in my thoughts that I did not hear the footsteps behind me. I felt a hand go onto my shoulder causing me to stand up and grab it. I dropped the hand when I realised it was only Legolas.
'What do you want?' 'I followed you out here because you were alone and no one not even yourself should be out here alone.'
'And why is it that you suddenly care about my safety, earlier on you were trying to chase.' I stopped when I noticed what I had just said, he was meant to think that I was not the slayer or at least the girl from earlier.
'Go on, earlier, I have not seen you today; in fact I rarely do see you around Mirkwood.
'Perhaps you should look further then your nose.'
'Do not try to change the subject, are you the girl I ran into who was past the cities borders?'
'A girl? Me? Outside borders? Of course and next you will find me running through the celebration screaming Vampires are real!' I laughed at what I tried to attempt as a joke.
'Do not mess me around, place you in some breeches and a tunic and your hair back and you have the famous.Slayer,' I tried to hold the shock in but I was unable to hide it, 'I thought so.never pull anything over my eyes and you will see that I am very clear headed.'
I placed my head down, sliding out my dagger from its hiding place, 'Legolas? Can I trust you not to tell anyone?'
'You are telling me that you are the slayer? I was told about it as a children's story by my mother.'
'Can I trust you not to tell anyone?' I asked through gritted teeth, I prayed that he would say yes and he would not tell anyone.
'I can not I must tell my father who you are, he has been searching for you for many years now.'
'I'm sorry, Legolas.'
'Sorry for what?'
Before I could reach up for him someone ran up. It was Tahiel, 'excuse me lovers, but I must take the prince for a little while, his father requests his appearance.'
There was an awkward silence, Tahiel looked from one to the other with a wide grin on his face, 'I did not interrupt anything did I?'
'No you did not, come Tahiel we will return now,' Legolas turned to me with a stern look, 'Neverwen, I will see you later.'
I did not answer or respond in anyway. They turned and walked off.
I stood up and began to walk off; I turned to head back when I was grabbed from behind.
I fell back landing on a rock, I stood up and turned to face what had grabbed me.
I was outnumbered, i turned and ran into the castle, guards ran out but were soon killed. I kept on running until I reached the festival.
I slammed open the door. The music stopped and all heads turned in my direction.
'RUN!' was all I could shout.
