Author's note: Ahhhh! I'm sooo happy! It turns out that my friend won't be moving because they couldn't sell their house. I am sooo happy! But anyway, just felt like writing today, hope I didn't keep you guys waiting for too long for the next chapter. Also thanks a bunch for all your encouragement and help. Chris, yes thank you, somebody did tell me that Legolas wasn't the age I said, but when I was writing it, I didn't know how old he was, and just made the age up. I just decided to leave it because I'll need their age difference later on in the story so I kinda had to keep it, but thanks anyway; I really appreciate all your comments and help.

After a long time of looking around the whole castle, and deciding where everything should go, and which room will be used for what, and a lot of other stuff, they decided to go and rest for a bit. They found the closest room and opened the door to it. The room revealed itself to be a brightly lit (by many windows) bedroom of some sort. It was very large, and only one corner of it showed any signs of spider-infestation. By the farthest wall, was a huge bed. On each side were beautiful nightstands. They were much more grand than any others in the whole castle. Well, actually, the room itself was the most grand in the whole castle. Legolas later explained to Alinne that this was his father's room. Alinne wasn't surprised. She would've guessed it was the king's room herself; it was much too grand to be any one else's. She walked over to another wall of the room by which she noticed a small table and a chair by it. On the wall, just above the table, there was a huge mirror, so that if someone were to sit in the chair, they would see themselves right in the mirror. Alinne sat down, and as she did so, she accidentally bumped her right arm on the corner of the table. She hurt it pretty badly, especially since the huge bruise was on that arm. It looked really bad, and Alinne worried that she wouldn't be able to use that arm at all anymore for the whole day. She brushed her left had through her golden hair and noticed that the trip through the forest had taken a toll on it too. Legolas noticed that Alinne was in bad shape now, and decided that only one thing would help her. "Would you like to take a bath to relieve some of the pain?" Alinne gave him a surprised look. Legolas quickly realized that he didn't quite put that sentence as he should've and quickly tried to fix his mistake. "I mean, there is a guest bath on the third floor, that you could use. I could just fix some more things up while you relax. It looks like you could use some time off after that encounter with the evil."

Alinne gave off a small laugh. Kenisse was annoying, and at times seemed evil, so she was glad Legolas didn't seem to like her either. The thing is, she knew that Legolas would have to pick a bride when he claims his throne. She knew that he only had 2 weeks to pick his future wife. And she really didn't care who he would fall in love with in those 2 weeks, but she hoped beyond all hopes that it would not be Kenisse. Before she knew it, Alinne was in the standing by a huge bath in the guest bathroom. It was a beautiful room decorated with paintings and dried flower arrangements. Amazingly, the bath was full, and the water was worm. Alinne looked at Legolas with astonishment in her eyes. "I was going to take a bath before you came, so I filled it up, but you came a little earlier than I expected so I did not have time. But then when we were in father's room I remembered about it, and thought that you might like to take a bath, especially since your arm is so bruised." "Oh, thank you very much." Legolas gave her a towel, and left.

Alinne slowly removed her clothes and put them on the floor beside the bath. She dipped a foot into the bath, and then carefully climbed in. The water was the perfect temperature. When she thought about what the prince said, she realized that he must have poured it in very hot. Then it was cooling for about 1 or 2 hours, and now, it was at the perfect temperature. As she laid in the bath she thought about how their lives would change now that they had a prince. #He is a very god prince. Hmmm, well, he seems responsible enough, although he did leave his kingdom for so long to sail the seas. Yes but I suppose you cannot blame him for that. He did think that his father was still here ruling.# Her thoughts interrupted themselves and now she was thinking about the fact that he would have to marry someone in the next 2 weeks. She decided to think about whom he might pick. #Hmmmm, well, let me see; he only really knows Kenisse, Leveren, and me. And actually he does not know them very well. I will have to show him around. I really hope he does not like Kenisse. The only reason she would want to marry him is because he is the prince.. Oh, no, but she does not know he is a prince yet.. wow, maybe the cold mistress herself finally changed her beliefs. #

These thoughts very much confused Alinne. She knew Kenisse and Leveren since they were children. They both moved to this forest with her. She never liked Kenisse, although Leveren she could stand. Kenisse was just one of those mean people who get their laughs from making other people feel bad. No one really liked her, well, with the exception of her many boyfriends. Alinne gave off a sigh and decided to concentrate on more pleasant thoughts. She did not like Kenisse, and even thinking about her too much always gave Alinne a headache. And either way, just thinking about all this was confusing her. She had so many questions in her head now. And so now, she just leaned back, and thought about the forest in springtime. She loved spring, she was born that month, and she was very happy about that. Spring was definitely her favorite season of the year. And so she closed her eyes and just thought of the beautiful green color of new buds, and the new flowers breaking from the ground, and reaching for the sun, eager to grow.

Author's note: Hey there, sorry for the shortness, but no time to write, and I just wanted to post this to give you something. I decided that what I'll be writing next should have it's own chapter. It should be good. So next chapter, Legolas finds out Alinne's biggest secret. Mwaaaahahaha * cough * yeah, okay, just please review, and thanks for your nice comments so far.
