Author's Note: Alright alright, I'm sorry, I know I suck at updating, and
this one did take a long time, but I'm moving on with the story and if you
want to wait until I'm done to read it, that's fine, I'll say "Completed"
in the description so you'll know. I'm sorry, I decided that I don't
really want to type up 15 pages (I actually did try, but only got 2), but
the short excuse is basically, My computer hates me and freezes on me all
the time, I have 3 tons of homework, I have to practice 2 clarinets and the
piano, so sorry, but I really do try.
2 days had passed since Legolas was able to leave his castle. It was starting to bother him now, and he definitely felt plenty of anger towards his father for making him do this. Many dates were changed around and basically all the maids hoping to marry him would be pouring into the castle this afternoon.
It was early in the morning and Alinne was up making breakfast as he got out of his bed and got dressed into his "maid" outfit as Alinne called them and got ready for the day. He went down and Alinne and he enjoyed a pleasant breakfast together talking about the things they could do in the castle for the next 5 days they would be stuck there. Alinne had gone to the village on the first day and brought many decorative and cleaning supplies back with her. The castle was already half clean (they were very bored).
Before Legolas knew it he was standing at the door welcoming the maids that were stampeding in with Alinne at the front trying to keep them calm. He watched the elves that came. Some he saw were beautiful, more beautiful than he had ever seen before; some looked like they just fell off a cliff and he quickly smiled and turned his face to hide the expression on his face.
He saw Enodriew, and young elf that Alinne had told him about. Enodriew was the most unusual elf in the village as Alinne said it. As soon as Legolas saw her, he knew why. Her hair was short, red, and stood up as if by magic. Her dress was long, so long that she would step and trip on it every time she moved a centimeter. The expression on her face was priceless and description-less. She looked as if she had seen a rat, and as the other maids would look that way in fear, she would almost jump in the joy of having fooled them. In a matter of a second, her expression would change from pure joy to a scared look once again as she looked to another corner of the castle. She walked over to the next bunch of maids and picked out her next victim. That is what she was doing for the rest of the day. By the end, she had fooled 16 maids and annoyed everyone but Legolas and Alinne who both found her terribly amusing. As Legolas kept examining the maids, he saw one he didn't expect to see, he saw Kenisse.
Kenisse was wearing an unusually short dress and had an almost seducing look on her face. Legolas turned away in shame and almost embarrassment for her and for what she had turned into. To him she no longer looked like a stuck up but still beautiful woman, to him she now looked like a whore who would do anything for money.
The way this was all conducted was, this was like a large party and all the women were sitting, and standing, and talking, and dancing, and singing, and doing anything possible they thought would impress Legolas. None of it did. Every time he could, he looked over to the other side of the room and watched Alinne as she talked to the maids, and as she laughed in her beautiful laugh, and as she looked back at him and gave him a sympathetic smile.
Legolas' heart came to tears as he watched her. He wanted to run to her and hug her, and he wanted her to help him through this and this decision that he would regret for the rest of his life. He never knew that choosing a wife would be so hard, especially when there were so many gorgeous maids to choose from. He never knew he would fall in love with someone who did not know he loved her. He never knew how painful it would be to look over across the room and see the one you loved, and love them even more every moment and yet know that you can never again kiss them, or hug them, or even have a chance to love them and for them to know that you love them. He never thought that he could look into a room full of gorgeous maids all more than willing to marry him, and somehow know that none of them were right for him, and that none but one would ever make him happy.
The evening went on, torturously slow, and when it was over, Legolas went to his room, lay down on his bed, and let tears flood over his pillow.
Author's Note: How sad huh? Well, anyway, terribly sorry for the long wait, I'll try to update at LEAST once a week form now on okay? I'm sorry; I hate doing this during school when I have tons of homework. Please review; I want to know how you like different chapters and what I could do to make them better.
