Here's my second chapter. This story doesn't seem too popular but I'll carry on oblivious. Anyway, enjoy...
Legolas, Imcairion and Vecamion walked backed to the palace in high spirits after the exhilarating hunting trip. They talked about their day and how much they had enjoyed each other's company.
It wasn't long before they were making their way down to the great halls for supper, after having changed and cleaned up. As usual, by the entrance, stood Nildoliel. She greeted Legolas with a kiss as her bright eyes locked with Vecamion's dark meaningful look. Then they went inside for the food.
Legolas and Nildoliel usually sat at a small table with the king and his company but for today their table had been extended for an extra two. Nildoliel and Legolas sat side by side whilst Vecamion and Imcairion sat opposite. Nildoliel couldn't help but notice how handsome Vecamion looked, with his long dark hair framing his perfectly shaped face. She pulled her eyes away and looked down at her meal.
The meal was delicious and all four elves thoroughly enjoyed it. After several drinks and many songs Vecamion and Imcairion headed home. Nildoliel and Legolas headed back to their room.
"Vecamion seems very nice." Nildoliel began a conversation. "How long has Imcairion known him? I've never heard either of you mention him before."
"Vecamion only moved to Mirkwood recently." Came Legolas short reply. "He hasn't been here long."
"Where did he live before? What made him move?" Nildoliel asked curiously. "I haven't seen him around before. Did he move here alone?"
"I really do not know all of the details." Legolas replied turning to look at her. "Why all of the questions?"
"Oh," Nildoliel realised that she must have seemed over enthusiastic. "I was just curious that's all."
*~*~*~*~*
Nildoliel was sat upon a patch of neatly cut grass when she heard someone come up behind her. She turned around. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the handsome frame of Vecamion framed against the sun. She shielded her eyes with her hand and stood up to greet him.
"Hello again."
"Hello Nildoliel, I was just looking for Legolas." Vecamion told her why he was here. "Do you know where he might be?"
"More than likely in the castle." She replied. "I was just heading back, would you like to walk with me?"
Without answering, Vecamion held out an arm for her to link. She took it after several seconds of staring, realising that it would be rude not to. They walked silently back to the castle only sharing a few words but still enjoying each other's company. Nildoliel led him to where Legolas was and after he kissed her lightly on the cheek she headed for Celebgrodiel's.
*~*~*~*~*
That afternoon, in the brief time that Nildoliel had been in Vecamion's company, she had felt happy and alive. She had a perfect life and was very happy with Legolas but whilst she was with Vecamion she felt different. Legolas she loved deeply and would never do anything to hurt him.
That afternoon she had found out that Vecamion had moved from Rivendell to live in Mirkwood as his home held too many bad memories for him. This was his home now and in the few words that he and Nildoliel had exchanged earlier, she had learnt that he was happy here. She pushed the feeling that she had in stomach to the back of her mind and told herself that she had probably just found another good friend.

So, there was my second chappie. Please review. Sorry it was only a short chapter.
