Chapter Seven:
When Tala awoke the next morning she felt surprisingly refreshed, stretching she flung the covers off of her surprised to see she had been dressed in a soft silk nightgown, blushing she wondered who changed her. The morning sun shone into the room causing an almost surreal feel to it, "You up" Legolas said his voice groggily, it was obvious that he had been sleeping.
"Why are you here? And have you been here all night?" Tala asked walking back toward the bed and sitting down, Legolas got up from the chair that he had been sleeping in and sat beside her "I do not know why I am here and yes milady I have been here all night" Tala was about to say that it really wasn't necessary but Legolas pressed one long ringer to her lips, when he removed his finger he leaned in and lightly touched his lips to hers.
At first Tala was too surprised to respond but after a moment she was kissing him back, she felt the warmth of his lips flood throughout her body making her skin tingle and her heart pound in her ears. Legolas pulled away too soon for Tala's liking, he left her wanting so much more. "I am truly sorry if I was out of line" he apologized staring her in the eyes, all Tala could do was shake her head; he had actually rendered her speechless.
Legolas smiled slightly before leaning in and kissing her again, this time his kiss was much more expressive. Slowly she lifted her hands and put them around his neck, Legolas was the first to break the kiss he pecked her softly two times before fully pulling away. "Am I interrupting something?" Aegean asked from the doorway, she was carrying a tray of food and smiling wildly "No" Legolas said as he got up and smiled down at her, "I was just leaving" Before Tala could protest he was out the door and out of sight.
"I see you have captured the Princes' heart" Aegean smirked sitting the tray down and slowly leaving the room, Tala couldn't believe this was happening she was almost afraid it was all fake, that she would wake up and it all be over. She leaned back and smiled "this is awesome" she smiled giggling madly she just couldn't help herself before eating her breakfast and getting up to change.
When Tala got out of her room and walked toward the great hall she heard the raised voices of Legolas and his father, leaning against the wall she listened in "Why father must I go? I do not wish to do this?" There was a huge sigh from somewhere within the room, "You will not be the only one going to this council Gnywithil will be there along with you" Legolas growled rubbing his hand over his face, "This is an important council Legolas and you as future king of Mirkwood have to be there to represent our kingdom"
"Are you listening in on something you should be?" Aegean asked sneaking up on Tala making her squeak, "Shhh!" Aegean frowned her eyebrows furrowed, "Gnywithil is packing as we speak I am truly sorry this is happening" Tala looked at Aegean and whispered softly "What council are they talking about?" Aegean shrugged her shoulder in a very Tala like fashion and sighed "I do not know the details for Gnywithil has been sworn to secrecy, I just know the Lord Eldron has summoned them to Rivendell"
Tala sighed trying to listen again but the room had become eerily quiet, "Say your good byes Legolas you must go" came a quiet stressed out voice, King Thranduil obviously did not wish to send his son to Rivendell but he had no choice. Legolas growled again before storming out of the great hall almost running Tala over, he obviously didn't notice her because he kept just walking. "I am sure he will say his goodbyes to you Tala very sure"
Tala sighed as she entered the great hall seeing it completely empty, she found that somewhat odd due to the king was usually on the throne, she sat by the doors hoping Legolas wouldn't leave without seeing her first. Suddenly out of nowhere Legolas appeared wearing the same exact garments that he was wearing the first day she met him, her heart ached at the sight of him knowing he was leaving and that he might not return. "Tala I have to" Tala reached up this time and cut him off,
"I know I over heard" Legolas reached up burring his hands in her hair and pulling her into his embrace, he snuggled his face into her neck. She could feel something moist and she knew he was crying, "We'll see each other again right? Its not that big of a deal" She was trying to convince her self more then him, her heart hurt very bad. "I promise you Tala.no matter what or where I will find you understand me? I-I love you"
Tala pulled him to where she could look him in the eyes, "Why me? Why do you love me?" She asked tears threatening to spill from her own eyes, "You are different I do not know I just love you" Tala felt a tear escape and run down her cheek, "I love you too" Legolas raised his hand to her cheek and rubbed his thumb across it smearing the tear, he leaned in and kissed her softly causing her knees to wobble. "I have to go" He mumbled against her lips, her heart felt suddenly heavy she pulled away and looked him in the eyes "Just come back promise me.alright" Legolas nodded kissing her one last time before leaving through the doors.
Tala slid down the wall and began to sob, this couldn't be happening to her, she finally found a man to love her and he of course had to be an elf and from a different world. "Are you alright Tala?" Looking up she saw her sister standing there looking worried, Tala just shook her head before putting her face in her hands. Instead of walking off Beth silently sat beside her grieving sister and wrapped protective arms around her and the two girls just sat there without saying a word just Beth comforting Tala.
