Author's Note: All right, here's the second part to the last chapter. I'm
starting this chapter about one minute after I posted the last, so I hope
that means it'll come out soon. Although, I probably won't finish this
today. Sorry, but the reason for my slow updates is that I'm suddenly
being attacked by plot bunnies. You'd think it would be a good think, but
they're literally attacking me! I have so many I can barely concentrate on
this one! Okay, well, let's get on with the story.
Legolas's eyes shot open at the feeling of soft cotton underneath him. # Oh no, well, this certainly is not the forest anymore. #
The sigh that met his eyes caused him to gasp. He was in a large room, the walls and ceilings all in the purest color of white he had ever seen. The walls were all bare except for a drawn picture of.. # Me?! #
Yes it certainly was him, he realized, as he got up from the bed to inspect it further. It was very well drawn and he saw his own eyes stare back at him.
"Do you like it?" he heard a high-pitched voice from across the room. He was only too sorry to know whom that voice belonged to. Slowly he turned his body around to face that of a woman lying in the bed he had just gotten up from.
"Oh, please, are you that surprised to see me? Or do you just not remember who I am?"
"Kenisse." he answered, shock filling his words with what (to Kenisse) sounded like dread. "Where am I?"
"Ahh, getting right to the point I see. All right then, you are in His castle."
"Why am I at His castle?" he asked.
"Who are you?" she suddenly asked him.
"I beg your pardon?" that was definitely the most confusing answer he had ever been given.
"I asked you who you are."
"What, do you want my name, or do you mean that in some other way?"
"Alright, tell me your name if that will tell me who you are."
"Legolas Greenleaf. How, again, is this going to tell me what I am doing here?"
"Give me your full name, title and all."
"Ohh." understanding dawned on him. # Of course, how was I so stupid? I am the king of Mirkwood in the castle of a wizard who wants to control all of Middle Earth. Great, something tells me this will not be a pleasant visit. # "All right, what does he want of me then?"
"Well, I thought you would be smart enough to figure that part out. He wants Mirkwood."
"And how, prey tell, is he planning on getting it? Killing me is useless, there is someone else in charge right now."
"Oh Legolas, you are so naïve!" she broke out in laughter, "killing you WOULD be useless. You are going to marry and therefore share your crown."
# This is outrageous! I will NOT marry! Are they all INSANE?! # his brain was screaming, but his voice remained cool and collected as he calmly said, "What makes you think I will marry, and who do you plan to marry me off to anyway."
"Well," she took a breath as if she was about to start a long monologue and Legolas noticed a hint of amusement spark itself in her eyes. "You will marry, my sweet, you have no other choice, and whom you are so lucky to be marrying? Well, you are looking at her."
# Surprising? Please, I saw that once coming from the beginning, but no Kenisse, I will die before I marry you. # His thoughts were racing but he decided to continue the silence. He could tell by the look in her face that she knew that he would never marry her and yet she didn't stop smiling. However, where worry should've been, in its place stood confidence, and the pride of the Greenleafs.
"Oh yes, yes, I know about your little love toy. Alinne, yes, she had gotten in my way before, but this time, this time nothing will stop me. HE is a powerful wizard you know, and you will not have the pleasure of dying from your little love-sick grief."
Legolas was overwhelmed to say the least. He had been in compromising positions before, even where there seemed to be no way out, but now, he had nothing, there was nothing he could do to get out of this, not even death would be able to claim him. # And what about Alinne, # he thought, # what will happen to her? Will they kill her, or.. is she already dead? #
As if almost reading his mind, Kenisse suddenly said, "Oh do not worry, Alinne, that little whore, she is not dead, nor will she be. She will marry too actually. Perhaps you remember Nerodel? I believe she had already agreed actually."
"No. how could she." his voice was barely above a whisper. # How can she do this to me? Did she truly already agree? I thought she loved me. but wait. Perhaps she still does. # a new voice began to argue in his head. # I do not have a choice, but perhaps she does not either.#
"I want to see her." He said before he even realized it. "I want to talk to her. You cannot get me to marry you unless I agree anyway," Kenisse tensed at that. He had found their weakness. They could do many things, yes, but making him marry her was still not something they could force on him. "so, I want to speak to her and make sure that she is still- "
"-alive?" Kenisse broke in. A smile snaked its way up her face. Yes, she just figured out how to get him to marry her. He will not have a choice, she though and continued her terrorizing smile. "All right then, as you wish my prince."
Author's note: Ughhhh, I hated this chapter. Did you? It was so hard to write since it was practically the same thing as the last, only between Legolas and Kenisse. Arrrrg, but I did upload soon didn't I? Same day now that I think about it. Wow. Anyway, yes the chapter sucked, but the next ones will be better, I promise.
KaniieViaske: alrighty, on your question about Arwen and Elrond. That made me think actually, I never thought about it before but it really did make sense, I mean if she loves Aragorn and he's forcing her to go with him he's practically killing her right? But then I realized, they're going to the Undying Lands. So I figure that since they're undying that means they can't die of grief there. Anyway, this is my guess. If someone out there knows about this, please don't hesitate to leave it in a review, and for those of you interested, I'll put the answer in an author's note in another chapter (giving credit to those who told me of it of course).
Also, thank you as always for your oh-so-ever-kind reviews. I was smiling so much today, and I felt so bad about giving you this poor excuse for a chapter after all those wonderful reviews, but I promise to work extra hard for the other chapters just for you nice reviewers out there. Thank you all! * Hugs each and every reviewer (extra hugs for those who reviewed multiple times)*
