Chapter 8
"but they are right, this will not be excepted by human, especially when he becomes King. I know we must not go on but I can not stop loving him. If I leave now and don't see him again, he will get a new lover a woman"
Aragorn had heard every word of that, he moved quickly past the dwarf and out in to the court yard to see the elf ride out of the gates.
"oh no you don't Legolas, you will not leave me here" Vowed Aragorn.
People looked at him with suspicion.
He trod the same path as his love to the stables,
"come Brego, we must find our errand friends" the horse move toward Aragorn to allow him to mount him.
"off we go" Aragorn charge full speed out of the stable, scaring the men outside of the doors, he did not stop he ran straight out of the city and after his lover.

Gimli did not know what was going on, both people had ran out of the hall, and left the city.
*What am I going to do? Follow them?*
his thoughts carried on until he came up with a suitable option.
He decides to go in search for the Wizard. He is bound to know what is going on.
He looked every where but Gandalf could not be found, he was grumbling about this when a small voice came from beside him.
"Can I help you master Dwarf"
Gimli looked at the human beside him, she was small but not childlike, a short adult. The face of an angel
She saw him staring at her,
"I am not a child, dwarf I am an adult, I am simply very short."
Hearing the insult in her voice, Gimli felt as if he should explain.
"It was not your height that I was looking at, for you are only a bit smaller than me, it was your face, you are beautiful" rambled Gimli
the woman blushed "thank you sir" she started to look away, then hearing a bell she ran, one question came from Gimli's lips
"What is your name angel?"
she looked at him, judging if he was sincerer.
"Bethory" came the reply before the small figure ran off in to the vastness of the great house.
"Penny for your thought master Dwarf" came the familiar voice.
"um…um… nothing" he said. Then remembering "Legolas and Aragorn ran out of the city, I have been looking for you since they left"
"This is not good, do you know why they left?" questioned Gandalf
"No, the elf muttered something I could not heard then ran off, Aragorn must of heard because he followed only seconds behind."
"I think they will be alright, Aragorn will find out what is wrong and bring him back. We should not worry." Gandalf stated "Follow me Gimli, King Theoden wishes to speak to you"

Arod carried on bearing Legolas on the plains of Rohan, Legolas turned to have one more look at Edoras,
"Bye Aragorn" his eyes filled with tears, he emotions stopped him from seeing the chestnut stallion following the path that he had just come.
"good bye my love" he whispered and turned Arod and mounted,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Legolas I can not believe you left me. You will not get away from me. I will show you how much I love you. Maybe I should carry out that threat, Please don't leave me*
Aragorn pushed Brego harder, he know Brego was faster than Arod but he was heaver than Legolas.
"Come on Brego, we must find them"
hearing the emotion in his masters voice, Brego gave every ounce of energy that he had to catch up with the wayward pair.
Aragorn look up to see where the elf had gone, he saw the elf had dismounted.
* has he seen me?*
then he answered his own question
*if he had seen me, he would not have stopped riding*
Brego also saw the pair and headed straight for them, Aragorn continued to look at the elf and wondered why he had stopped.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Legolas bid the horse to carry on but the horse would not move and started to turn toward Edoras.
"Arod no! I can not go back there, please carry on the way we were going, please" begged Legolas.
He looked once more at the city , this time hearing the sound of Horse hooves on the ground, he saw the chestnut horse approaching with Aragorn on its back.
He once again tried to get Arod to go the other way.
"Arod please, I can not be with him, Please move" he began to panic. Still the horse stayed where he was.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aragorn could see the elf was having trouble with Arod,
*Legolas usually has no problem with any animals, why is Arod not moving? At least this gives me time to catch up with him*
Aragorn continued his was towards his elf, the closer he got the more he could see the panic on the Elves face. He rode closer, Legolas was still trying to get Arod to move. When Aragorn was next to him he finally gave up and looked away from Aragorn.
Both dismounted, but still Legolas would not look up or start to talk. So Aragorn started the conversation.
"Why are you running away?"
"Why are you following me?" retorted Legolas
"Legolas, please ask my question" warned Aragorn
Legolas still would not look at Aragorn or did he speak.
"Legolas, unless you want to do this the hard way, then I suggest that you answer me" came the stronger warning.
Legolas still would not look up he answered.
" I heard what those people said, I did not know your kind did not except it, I thought if I left then you could find a wife and they would respect you, they need you to be a strong king" whispered Legolas convincing himself as well as Aragorn.
"they will think I am stronger if I follow my heart as well as my mind, can you not see, I can not be a good king with out you there. I need you Legolas Greenleaf, please do not leave me here"
Aragorn slowly lifted Legolas face towards him, letting his love show through his eyes.
Legolas finally looked into his eyes seeing the love and could feel his own eyes fill up.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" Legolas whispered Brokenly. He told himself that he would not cry,
*I have never felt like this, why do I feel so emotional"
He could feel his eyes fill up once more, a stray tear trickled down his porcelain cheek.
"hay don't cry" Aragorn whispered soothingly and drew Legolas into a tight hug, Legolas stopped crying and hugged back.
*Elves tears are rare, they do not get upset they can cry but the don't do it freely or often. I hope I am not the reasons for his tears again*

Gimli could not concentrate on what the king was saying, his thoughts were on Bethroy.
That face of an angel, eyes green as copper ore and hair like rock with gold in. she was beautiful, and all he knew about her was the fact that she was called Bethro.
"Master Gimli, are you with us?" Came the kings voice filled with amusement
"I'm sorry, King Theoden but I was thinking about something" answered the dwarf.
"Who is the lucky Person?" came the wizards voice, joining in with the king.
Gimli went red, but it was covered up by his beard, he answered gruffly
"her name is Bethro"
"I know that name, she is rather short, but is fair of face. She one of the servant here, she works in the guest rooms. It is a pity for I have just sent her to helms deep to get the place ready for the moving of my people."
*Maybe I will see her there, then!* said the dwarf hastily hoping that they would be going there also be going to Helm deep.
There was a knock on the door, stopping the conversation.
"Enter" demanded Theoden
a messenger step inside.
"you bid me to tell you when Aragorn and Legolas arrived, they have come back"
"then lets go and meet them," said Gandalf
The three walked towards the main entrance to greet the wayward couple and their horse.
"it is nice to see you, my friends, I see you had a good trip" said Gandalf
"it was pleasant" replied Legolas, showing no signs of the emotion that he had just experienced.
Gandalf raised an eyebrow at the scene before him, Legolas had gone to Prince mode
"we just needed some time to be alone and talk, that was all, Gandalf" said the Ranger, surprised at how Legolas was acting.
*How can he do that, going from young Elf to a mature figure of Mirkwood.*
"I see well, the king wished to speak with you, before you both decided to go off with out telling anyone" there was a note of scolding in Gandalf's voice.
Legolas shook off the comment
"What did you wished to talk about, King Theoden?" Legolas addressed the King directly.
This surprised the king by this, normal the child did not speak to him.
"I think we should take this back into your study, my friend. We have much to discuss."
