tell me in a review. Hope that helps. Enjoy!
Legolas was so confused at Alinnes behavior, that he stood alone in the clearing in the forest for a while, his face full of complete shock and confusion. He remembered that Nithem was a good friend of Alinnes, and decided to go talk to her. It was getting late, and the sun was setting, but he felt that he wouldn't be able to sleep a bit, with this on his mind.
He walked in the forest for a while trying to remember where they had come from. Thankfully, his sense of direction didn't fail him, and he ended up coming out of the forest in the same place they came in. He walked on the once again empty streets. All that he could see, were a couple of elves walking to their houses.
Thoughts about Alinnes strange behavior were filling his mind, and after losing the fight of keeping these thoughts out of his head, he decided to just succumb to them, and try to figure out why she ran from him. As he walked, filled in thought, a girl walked up to him and said, in a voice that was probably meant to be seductive, "Well, hello there. Funny to see you again."
From the voice, Legolas could tell right away that it was Kenisse. "Hello Kenisse." He managed to finally say with a small smile on his very confused face. *Oh, no... not again. I do not think that I can face her right now. * "Would you please tell me where I can find Nithem? I greatly need to speak to her."
Kenisse was slightly disappointed. She saw him walking through her window, and put on her favorite dress as she ran out to meet him. She didn't know what to do now; he seemed to not care one bit about anything but talking to Nithem. She wanted to talk to him for as long as possible, but this new elf clearly did not know who she was, and was not interested.
"Do you even know who I am?" asked Kenisse with an annoyed voice, which right away pointed out that she was someone of great importance.
"No, lady Kenisse, I am afraid I do not know anything but your name." Legolas wanted this conversation to be as short as possible, but that was clearly not going to happen.
"Well, I am Kenisse Bleikenheim. I am daughter of Lorrinet Bleikenheim, and one of the most, if not THE most important elf in this whole village."
"I did not know you had such an impressive title milady, how so, are you the most important, if you would please tell me?" Legolas was stunned at this girl's boldness. She definitely though very high of herself.
"It is known from our rangers that Legolas Greenleaf, prince, and by now, king of Mirkwood, has sailed onto our land, and back into his kingdom. You are very lucky to be sharing a name with one of such nobility, by the way. It is told, that when he arrives, by the wish of King Thranduil's last request, he is to be wed. The woman he will wed will most certainly be me, for I am the most beautiful and worthy wife for him." She had an almost evil look in her eyes. One of accomplishment, and pride.
"You, are very rude, to your future queen and I suggest you change. I was going to let you have a chance with me, but because of the behavior tonight, you will have to work quite hard for even one night! Also, I suggest you chan....." She was interrupted by Legolas' laughter that he couldn't control any longer. "What exactly is so funny?!" She was beyond mad and looked like she would kill him at this very moment.
"I am sorry 'Your Highness'" he said, stressing the 'Your Highness' part in a sarcastic tone. "but I must be going. If you would tell me where I can find Nithem, I would greatly appreciate it, but otherwise, I bid you a good night."
Kenisse, was so mad that she hit the ground hard with her foot, and before stomping off and cursing Legolas and the day he came, she whispered through clenched teeth "Nithem is in the Main Huts".
Legolas said thank you politely, as if their conversation was a pleasant one, which made Kenisse even madder, and turned around to leave. He could still hear Kenisse cursing and stomping her feet harshly to the ground, but he kept walking, not turning for a moment.
When Kenisse was long out of hearing range, Legolas turned around and stopped for a bit, just looking at the path he had just walked apon. He stayed there, thinking of what has just happened. Kenisse was so sure of herself, it made him sick. He has always hated people who were so conceded. He especially hated it when young girls, like her, were so sure that he would pick them to wed.
He was also terribly mad at his father. *How dare he! He leaves his kingdom for no reason, but he manages to tell them that he wants me to be wed?! How did he know I would come back anyway? Am I so predictable? Ughh, well, I guess that's father for you. I knew, he never liked me. * He gave off a small laugh. *I am even sarcastic in my thoughts. * He smiled, and turned back around to keep going to the Main Huts.
The sun has set as he was walking, and he was worried that he would not find Nithem in this dark. *What am I thinking? I probably would not be able to find this place in the light of day!" He stopped his thoughts as he noticed the Main Huts straight in front of him. He smiled in satisfaction, and walked faster towards them.
Unlike last time he was here, (when the lights were off in the huts until the minute they walked in,) he noticed that there were at least five candles burning brightly inside. As he walked in, he saw Nithem sitting in a chair talking to a small girl of about 30 years old. Not even close to maturity yet. He waited patiently as the conversation ended in "Well, it is getting quite late, and your parents are waiting for you. Come back tomorrow, and we will talk some more."
The little girl smiled, gave Nithem a hug, and ran out of the hut with a thank you. Nithem got up from the chair, and with a smile, greeted Legolas.
"Hello Legolas! I hope that you had a good time today."
"I had a wonderful time, thank you. I wanted to speak to you of something." He had care and concern in his eyes, so Nithem guessed it was of great importance. She sat down, and motioned for Legolas to sit down in the chair, that was just occupied by the little girl.
"Is it about Alinne?" she asked, knowing that her friend had a personality, that many found very confusing.
"Well, yes. You see, something happened, and she sort of just ran from me."
"Oh, I see" Nithem could more than understand Legolas' worry.
"Alinne's personality is very difficult to understand. She changes her moods, as quickly as a squirrel jumps from one branch to another. The thing is, Alinne used to be in love. Or well, she thought she was in love, but the man just let her for another. Her heart was broken, as you can imagine, and she swore never to love again. Her parents however, have never known love; their marriage was simply based on looks and money. They are forcing her to get married, and she fears of falling in love, for her parents would probably not allow a marriage based on love alone.
You see, her parents want her to get married to Nerodel. He is rich, and of a noble name, so Alinne is afraid to fall in love, for she doesn't want to break her own heart, as well, as the heart of the one who loves her.
"Oh. Yes, I think I am beginning to understand. My father did something like that as well."
Nithem, just gave a sympathetic smile, and with a sigh said. "Well, I am afraid that you only understand a bit of Alinnes behavior. It is late today, but come back tomorrow morning, and we shall talk about everything you need to know. I was going to ask you to come in anyway, to establish what you are going to do. I mean, are you going to stay here? We need to know more about you too. Then we can talk about Alinne as well."
"Alright, good night Nithem. Thank you very much for your help." Legolas was about to leave, when he remembered that he had nowhere to go. Nithem saw this, and said "Do not worry. There is an extra room in here. You can just stay here tonight, and we will begin tomorrow morning."
Legolas smiled and thanked Nithem as he followed her to an empty room. The room had a simple bed, a table, and a window. It wasn't the best he had ever had, but it would do.
Authors note: Sorry if this isn't the best ending, but I don't know when I can post the next one, so I just posted this to kinda keep it going.
Also, sorry that I took so long to post these couple of chapters, but it's just that my grandpa is here visiting all the way from Belarus! (It's between Russia and Poland, if you didn't know, it's my birth country) He is obsessed with chess, so I downloaded a game for him. Now he wants to teach me the strategies, and how to play chess. (Ughh, I love my grandpa to death, but I really don't like chess, besides, he speaks Russian, AND chess- talk, and I can barely understand him. You see, Russian kinda doesn't come easy for me anymore.) AND, if that's not enough, the game I downloaded caused a problem with my computer, and it kept on freezing. Anyway, I think my computer is okay now, cause I deleted the game, but anyway, sorry. I'll post again soon, I promise. In the mean time, please review.
