Author's note: Uhh, I'm really sorry you guys. I know I'm a sore updater, but I hope you guys understand my reason. You see, my best friend in the whole world is moving away on the 20th of august (that's only like 14 days from now) So, I've literally been spending ALL my time with her. Yes, she's moving far, about a 3-hour drive, and it's a really hard time for me, she's been my best friend for over 5 years.well, a little easier because we haven't spent 1 day apart yet. Haha, well, anyway, so during the times of the 20th, sorry but I'll be slow, I hope you guys understand. Oh and thank you so much for all your wonderful reviews, they inspired me to write today. So, anyway, the story. Oh, and between #s, are thoughts, the stars are doing weird things.

Legolas had spent the whole night exploring his old home. He looked through every room, through every closet, and through every old hiding place. He spent about 2 hours sleeping in the early morning and then continued his tour.

Alinne came about 2 hours after he woke up again. He was upstairs in his old room getting ready, as she walked in.

#Uhh, cannot be sleeping still. He slept almost all day! Ha, well at least I always have a way to get back at him by telling him that he fainted. Hmmm, but I wonder why he fainted.it is nothing he has not seen before, and I know it was a bit overwhelming, but I do not think it could have been THAT overwhelming and it could have.# "Oh, hello Prince Legolas"

At that moment Legolas walked down the stairs and interrupted her thoughts. "Hello, Alinne, but please, don't call me Prince Legolas, I have never liked this title too much, just Legolas please.just Legolas is fine." "Alright.Legolas... good morning then, how have you slept?" The idea of calling him just Legolas was a little scary for Alinne. It meant they would be closer. But you can't not do what a prince tells you to, can you?" "Well, I didn't..where would you like to start?" Legolas was very eager to start, the castle needed a lot of fixing up."

"You didn't what?"

"I didn't sleep last night. So where would you like to start?"

"Umm, the healing room if you don't mind.."

"The healing room? Well, alright, why do you want to start there?"

"Well, on my way, I had a little unpleasant encounter with Kenisse. it is a very long story, and I have a little bruise on my arm." She pulled up the sleeve of her dress and revealed a very ugly and much bigger than "little" bruise.

Legolas was shocked "How did you get that? Did you get into a fight with her?"

"Oh, of course not, I just saw her in the road, and decided to avoid her."

"And how did you do that?" Legolas was trying to push the story along because he was getting more and more curious to what happened. "Well, I saw the next clear path into the woods, and went that way. However, it did not turn out to be as clear as I thought it would be, and it brought me about 1 hour out of my way here."

"Ummm, well, I am truly speechless, but lucky for you I spent all night touring this place, and I found my old short cut to it."

"Oh well, lucky me..."

They both walked up stairs, down hallways, up more stairs, and down other ones, and down more and more endless hallways, at last they were there. T_e Hea_li_g R_om was the name printed on the door. Several letters were missing and the ones that were not missing, were crooked, scratched, or broken.

They walked into the spider-web infested room. It was huge, bigger than the healing houses back in the city even. There were beds lined along both sides, and a neat path way right in the middle. There were more than 15 beds on each side of the room. There were many windows that in daytime were making the room light, and even beautiful looking (well, that is when you try to ignore the spider webs). Each bed had a nice stand by it, and there were chairs and bookshelves filled with what looked like thousands of books in the corners, presumably for the patients.

At the end of the long hallway there was a door. Slowly, Alinne and Legolas walked up to it, and carefully not to touch the spider webs, Alinne opened the door. Inside was a very light room. This one was amazingly not spider web infested, from obviously being closed for so long. As she opened the door, Alinne felt hot air rushing at her. She right away walked to the closest window she saw, and cracked it open. She could feel clean air coming in. She then walked to each of the many windows there and opened each one. The view from the room was more beautiful than she has ever seen. Outside were trees, flowers on the ground, and from very far away, she could see the pond that was by the healing houses. The healing houses themselves were however covered by the trees, but she noticed her favorite tree. The one that stands all by itself right by the pond.

Soon, the air was as fresh as outside in the room, and Alinne finally looked around. There was a large bed right below the biggest window. Beautiful carved nightstands were located on each side. On the walls, were shelves filled with books about healing herbs and potions. Some old bottles were on the walls, but as Alinne took a closer look, she realized that most, if not all of them, were too old to be used. The books however were everything she could ever need or want. She was amazed. This was the perfect room for any healer.

On the other side of the room, there was another door. She walked up to it, and twisted the doorknob, but it wouldn't budge.

"What is on the other side?"

Legolas was standing beside her the whole time, but he stayed quiet and let her explore on her own. "That is my room. My father for some reason always thought I would try to kill myself, or would hurt myself somehow, so he made sure the healers room was right by mine."

"Oh."

All this time, Alinne had been using her left arm to open the doors, and do everything else. But now, she remembered her heavily bruised right arm. She looked on the shelves, but all of the potions were either useless for her arm, or too old to use. She would have to go to the healing houses again soon. For now however, her right arm would be useless. They decided to go and put the medicine on Legolas's shoulder and then get ready to start cleaning the castle. Alinne knew she would be feeling very useless, for her arm would not be very useful.

Author's note: Well, next chapter should be coming up very soon. Probably today, but maybe tomorrow if I can't finish it tonight (it's already 11). Oh, and I'm sorry for those 2 crappy chapters. One was just to get it going again, but when I was writing the second, I was kinda in another world, so sorry, promise not to sleep and write at the same time again. But thanks a bunch for your kind reviews in spite of the chapters.
