Authors note: Hey, I'm still sick with nothing to do, so I'm going to be
posting the chapters up soon. I still don't own any characters that
appeared in the books. Please review, and I hope that you like my story so
far. Also, I'm sorry if I didn't make this very clear, but yes, Legolas is
in Mirkwood. I will go back to the chapters and try to add something that
makes it a little easier to understand. Sorry...
Note: Just in case you didn't know (and most people don't) "chauvinistic" is basically when a man thinks that they are more important than women. Men who are chauvinistic, often believe that all a woman has to do with her life, is get married and be quiet. I'm sorry to use such an unusual word, but it describes Nerodel perfectly.
"Nerodel, I am to give him a tour of grounds. There is nothing I can do."
Alinne was sitting by the tree, reading a book that she must have read a million times before, when Nerodel, an arrogant and chauvinistic elf came up to her. Every body knew that Nerodel liked Alinne, the one girl in the whole city, who wouldn't marry him just for his relatively good looks.
Alinne knew that if she didn't pick a husband in time, her parents would most likely pick Nerodel. Her parents live in a different part of Middle Earth, but that doesn't keep them from controlling Alinnes life completely. He was rich and respected amongst those that didn't know his true personality.
Just when Alinne thought this moment couldn't get worse, it did. She noticed a handsome elf walking towards them out of the Bath Houses. Nerodel saw him too an gave Alinne a questioned look.
"Hello." Said Alinne to Legolas. She didn't want him to be dragged into the mess she was in, so she got up right away to signal that they had to go.
Legolas answered with a smile on his face. He couldn't help but smile after such a relaxing bath. "Hello." He then turned his gaze to the man by Alinne who looked like he was going to burst form anger. "Hello, I do not believe we've met..." he said and reached his hand out for a handshake.
"Hello indeed." said Nerodel and shook Legolas' hand. He then turned to Alinne, and gave her a look of pure, jealous anger, and with that, he turned his body around, and walked away without saying another word.
Alinne breathed a sigh of relief. She thought this would be a quite messy situation. "Did I do something to offend him?" Legolas asked seeing the figure disappear from view in the bark tunnel.
"Oh, no, do not worry your self about it. That is just Nerodel. He is always like that." Legolas then remembered the talk Nithem and Alinne had in the boat in the very beginning when he first woke up. Yes, he remembered now, it was him that Nithem was saying Alinne should marry. Understanding now why he stormed off, Legolas suggested that they go.

"Alright, this is the Kitchen House. You can eat in here, or you can simply take your food to your hut." said Alinne as they walked towards a crowded looking hut that had a delicious smell coming from it. Legolas suddenly realized that he was quite hungry. They came to the entrance, and Alinne told him to wait at a bench nearby while she will go get them food. She soon disappeared inside.
Legolas sat by himself until he noticed two young elves walking towards him. As they got closer, one gently pushed the other with her arm and quietly said "You ask him!" They were both blushing and the other one pushed the first one back and said "No, you ask him!" This game went on for a while, until they got really close to Legolas. The first one gave the other one more push, but spoke to him. "Hello, my name is Kenisse, and this is Leveren. We were just wondering where you came from, because we have never seen you here before." The girl that was talking to him, Kenisse, was very jumpy and giddy. Both were blushing terribly, and their faces looked like they had red paint all over them.
Legolas was trying very hard not to laugh at the two elves in front of him. He had to agree they were brave, but they were indeed very young, and Legolas had no attraction to either one of them. Before he could say a word in reply, he heard Alinne yell from the doors of the Kitchen House. His view of her was blocked by the two blushing elves in front of him.
"Kenisse! Leveren! Leave him alone!" As she got closer she said "Must you flirt with every new elf that comes?"
The two elves blushed even more than before. Legolas didn't even know a face could get that red! They threw Alinne an evil looked and stomped away with their red faces held up high. Legolas was still laughing inside.
"Oh, do not worry yourself about them. They just like new men, because the ones already here, have had a chance to get to know them." Alinne turned to him with a sparkle of satisfaction in her eye, and gave out a small laugh. Legolas couldn't help but laugh at the remark as well.
"We can go to a quieter place if you like. I understand that having every maiden in this place staring at you must be quite uncomfortable." Legolas looked around to see if what she said was true, and indeed, every maiden who was not with a man already was looking at the handsome new elf. She gave off another small laugh and walked with him to a small forest. In the forest, there was a tiny opening where the trees stopped, and there was green and yellow grass. There was just enough space for maybe two people to comfortably sit there. Even three would not have fitted.
When Alinne got to the middle, she practically fell down on the ground and smiled. Legolas sat down by her, and she packed unpacked their food and set it on the ground.
Authors note: Hey everybody! Thanks for all the wonderful reviews, and I'm sorry if I didn't make some things clear. I'm trying really hard, and since this is my first official story, I'm sorry if it's not as good. But don't worry, it will get better. I proofread these things a lot, but sometimes I still miss things, and I'm sorry. Also, romance coming up! I promise. Please review. I really want to know what you think!
