Hiya! I finally add to my story, sorry for the delay. I do own LotR, and
the fellowship is all here in my house. No just kidding, but I wish! Anyway
on with the story.
Chapter 4 - Just the Beginning
In the morning Ella woke refreshed. It was long after the break of day, the sun being far above the horizon. Ella jumped up, remembering what was happening today. She searched the room for any sign of the maids of the chamber, so she could summon them to begin the packing. Ella picked out a scarlet summer dress to wear today. She hurried as she dressed and quickly flew out of the room, waving at the maids, toward the main entrance. Stopping quickly at the kitchen, she grabbed a piece of buttered toast. She slowed down as the entrance came closer.
Eventually she reached the hall. Everyone was already there, the hobbits, her parents, Gimli, King Elessar, other guests, and Legolas. She rushed over to her parents.
" My dear daughter, finally here at last" said Faramir.
"Yes father, my belongings are being packed as we speak, and I am ready" explained Ella.
" Very good, we shall be leaving shortly then" he announced.
Ella curtsied, excused herself and walked over to Legolas. He smiled as he saw her coming. He bowed before her, and then took her hand in his and placed a warm kiss in the palm of her hand.
" Ella, my lady, you take my breath away" he said looking into her eyes.
" Thank you" she blushed and gave him a tender smile.
Everyone's belongings were packing into panniers carried by horses, and the mounts prepared. The horses plodded down the long rutted roadways. Ella sat in front of Legolas, talking little as they trotted on ward. She could feel his muscles tensing as they rode.
" Do you feel well, lovely one? " he asked her in concern, as if he could read her mind. She felt his warm breath caressing her ear.
" I feel fine, a little excited, why do you ask?" she questioned.
" You are so silent, what is it that worries you?" he asked her with a worried undertone in his voice.
" Don't worry about me, I am just a little nervous" she answered with a warm smile.
Legolas nodded " I understand" was all he said.
It was late afternoon, the torches being already lit when they stopped to rest. Ella was aching with weariness, but could not rest yet. Ella gazed around the clearing where they had stopped, planning to spend the night. She saw her parents dismount from their horse, and the hobbits, and everyone else.
" How much further must we go until we reach the palace?" she asked Legolas, without looking at him.
" A few day, at least, are still to come my lady" he answered.
The camp was set for the night at the clearing and the company left early the next morning.
Author's Note:

I ask others who read to pleaz reviews, tell me what you think, and don't worry, Legolas is not the Elven Man Ella falls for, just you wait!
