Chapter 14 ~ Get together

She did not want anything to happen to Legolas so she remoted from screaming. Instead she wiped her tears and quickly went inside and adjusted herself so Legolas wouldn't suspect anything. It would be better if she said nothing to Legolas because if she did she knew he would want to go after him. Which in fact she wanted.

But the thing was that she had no idea of what would happen if she did. She would never forgive herself if anything happened to him. After she calmed down a little bit from her ordeal she went to start supper. Maybe if Legolas was here she could get the incident off her mind.

Legolas walked in and could smell the food that Mirra was cooking. It smelt so delicious it was as if he could already taste it. He went into the kitchen to find Mirra assuming she was there. "Oh my love what is it that smells absolutely delicious?" he said as he closed his eyes and stuck his nose in the air as to enjoy the smell fully.

Mirra went up to him as he was enjoying the aroma and kissed him. "I'm making soup it's a cool evening and it sounded perfect for supper." She said as he rapped his arms around her. "So how was the hunt?" Mirra asked as she set the table.

"It was quite interesting." He said as he shook his head and laughed. Mirra was confused. "And why is that?" "Well when ever I arrived he was getting his self ready to shoot and I shouted at him and he let loose of the arrow and he shot a bird. I walked up to him and told him that the may very well may be the best thing he's shot yet. He laughed and told me I'm such a good friend that I should have the honor of keeping the bird considering I helped him shoot it."

Legolas said as he sat down. "Legolas will you never let him do anything in peace?" She chuckled as they both started on their supper. "Oh but I did my love later after that we went hunting some better game and he had the perfect shot until Mel shows up in the distance picking flowers. I had to say his name 3 times before he even noticed he wasn't paying attention."

"How was your day? I heard you met Earemir today?" Legolas said as he took another bite. "How'd you know?" Mirra said thinking he was with Hasnin all day long. "Father told me." Legolas said.

"Father had been out and passed by us and informed us that our friend Earemir had arrived. He was in a little bit of trouble and he was helped out I guess you could say. Did you know he was our old head palace guard?" Legolas said they both finished their last bite.

"Really I never knew that. Earemir is an interesting man but Legolas there's something creepy about him." Mirra said as she headed to the sofa. Legolas sat down and Mirra crawled into his arms. "Why does he worry you love? He's really a great person when you get to know him." What was Legolas saying is this the same Earemir she met today? Surely it couldn't be Legolas makes him sound as though has been a great friend of his for a long time.

With the way Earemir treated her this surely could not be the same elf. "Never mind love it's nothing forget I said anything." Mirra said as she snuggled close to him. He kissed her forehead and started stroking her head till she fell asleep. He could tell something was troubling her but since she dismissed it he let it slide. After a while of watching her peacefully he to laid next to her and they both slept on the couch.

Legolas was the first to wake up that morning. He quietly got up so he wouldn't disturb Mirra. He sat down and wrote a letter to her so she would know where he was.

She woke up shortly after he left. She went looking for him in every room and noticed he was gone. Then she noticed the letter on the kitchen table next to a bundle of freshly picked flowers. She picked it up and began to read it slowly.

Dearest Mirra,

My love I went to go talk to father. He mentioned to me the other day that he was planning a banquet a week from now in honor of Earemirs return. He had requested my presence this morning to help him get preparations ready. Then afterward father has planned a get together at lunch and I would be so pleased if you would accompany us. Please meet us in the garden a little before noon. Until then I will anxiously be waiting for your arrival.
Your Loving Prince,
Legolas

She then looked up toward the sky in a dreamy state. Oh how she loved him. She could smell Legolas's aroma on the note. It was a heavenly aroma she couldn't get enough. So she held it to her nose and in took the aroma one last time before she would get ready to go.

She went and put on her nice dressy outfit. She put her hair in a long braid with two strands hanging down just in front of her ears. She thought before she would leave to seek out Legolas she would take a walk.

How wonderful it was just to glance at nature and breath in the fresh summer air. As soon as she finished her walk she went and found Legolas.

She made her way to the garden where she saw Legolas in the distance talking with his father and a few other guests. As she gracefully made her way to them she saw who was there. Just seeing Earemir put her body through tremendous torment.

She made a great effort to show she wasn't tense or frightened. When she looked at Earemir he was watching her with roaming eyes this made her petrified and furious at the same time and she hated him for it.

As she came up to them she stood by Legolas. Earemir reached out for her hand "Ah lady Mirra how nice of you to accompany us" he said as he put a kiss on her hand. Legolas indeed was Earemirs friend but the way he looked at her sent waves of rage throughout his entire being.

He then got a hold of his petty and childish behavior. After all he was a great friend of the family and especially a great friend of his and his fathers.

"Shall we?" Thranduil said as he leaded the group off to lunch. Mirra now felt safe that Legolas was around to protect her. She was more than happy to join Legolas but when she saw Earemir she wasn't so sure. They all sat down. Mirra sat in between Legolas and Thranduil. Earemir sat on the other side of the table facing Mirra.

"I'm so glad your safe my friend! If there's anything please feel free to ask." Thranduil said. "I think I may just take you up on that offer my friend." Earemir said as he was laughing inside. Oh how easy it would be to take over his kingdom. Then Middle -Earth.

What made his plan even more intriguing not only would he rule all Middle Earth but found his future bride.

As they were finishing up their lunch Thranduil talked about Mirkwood had been after the war. When the conversation ended Thranduil stood up and smiled "If you all would please excuse me my dear friend and I have a lot to catch up on."

As soon as Thranduil and Earemir walked out Mirra let out sigh of relief. "Are you all right dearest?" Legolas said as he helped her up from her seat so they to could leave. "Its nothing. Why don't we pay a visit to our friends." Mirra said as she gazed into his eyes while caressing his face.

Then they walked out and started walking down the road to her house. He stopped her for a moment and turned her toward him. "I love you so so much Mirra I would die a million deaths for you."

He went to kiss her when he saw a smirk on her face. He chuckled with a confused look"What!" She then got so close their bodies were touching while they kissed.

As they kissed she raised her hands to touch his face or so he thought. As she brought her hands up she lightly brushed his ears. She then felt him underneath her. She could tell she was badly teasing him.

When they stopped kissing he went to whisper in her ear "two can play at that game." Then he licked her ear and made a trail of kisses from her ear to her mouth, which sent chills through her body. He knew she liked it. "That's not fair!" She said as she started to run away.

Legolas then ran after her and caught her and picked her up "Did you think what you did to me was fair my lady? Trust me my love this day is far from over!" Legolas said as he made his way to her fleet with her in his arms the whole way.

"So we are not to visit our friends today?" She asked. He then gave her a puppy dog look and she shook her head and laughed. When they got to her fleet they mostly spent the day teasing each other till the both of them could no longer take it and gave in to each other's sweet gestures and made love.
