Merenessa had difficulty keeping up with the swift pace of the elves. She
refused to slow them down and
just pushed herself a little harder then she normally would. A few hours into the hike (at least that's what it
felt like) The one named Haldir, who seemed to be the leader, called for a halt. He served the girl a strange
bread that he called lembas and a type of drink that tasted sweeter then water but much more refreshing.
After the short rest, she was refreshed enough to be on her way again. Haldir seemed to know this for he
called the march on. He was impressed by her determination and concluded that she was not as delicate as
she looked.
"She acts just the same way as when she left. Curious and determined." Haldir whispered to his brother.
Rumil nodded and replied, "If you think about it, she really hasn't. Yes, she wasn't here physically but we
never forgot about her." Haldir smiled at his brother. Its great having little brothers sometimes, especially
ones that think logically, He thought.

During the short rest Merenessa had a chance to sit by herself and think about what all was going on. After
a few moments she began to physically relax. Legolas had been watching her out of the corner of his eye,
he was the girl relax and decided it may be a good time to try talking to her. He walked over a little louder
then he normally would, he didn't want to scare her out of her skin by just popping up. Merenessa looked
up at him, but quickly looked back down as blood filled her cheeks.
"Hello" she greeted quietly with a smile. Legolas took a seat gently across from her.
"What would someone like you be sitting by herself for?" He asked while looking down to get a better
view of her face, and slowly making eye contact.
" I just needed some time to soak in all these changes." The young girl explained and starting to look onto
the elves face.
"Oh, then- ah- should I leave?" Legolas started to get up but paused.
"no no no! Please stay, I would really appreciate your company." Especially yours, Merenessa thought to
herself. The two held eye contact, Legolas noted her faintly pointed ears, and silver eyes.
"Has anyone ever told you just how beautiful you are." Then even he blushed, the words rolled of his
tongue before he could stop them. He was half expecting her to giggle and roll her eyes. But no, she looked
up at him and gave him a true smile.
"That's usually the last thing I her from a guy, their mostly calling me strange. Most guys are kind of
scared of me because I'm different." She was about to say more but one of the elves in the group called for
everyone to begin to move on and Merenessa looked away quickly.
"We must be on our way." She paused, then stood up. Legolas did the same, he glanced at her and was
getting ready to say or do something but decided against it, instead he just gave her one of those 'looks' and
turned to begin the hike. Merenessa quickly fell in line behind him, so close in fact that if he stopped to
quickly she would run right into him. Knowing this he would playfully stop short let her run into him and
start walking again. Merenessa was having non of it though and started to steal arrows from his quiver, then
poke him in places that he would rather not mention, and tickle behind his ear with the feather. He turned
then and stared into her silver eyes, she stared just as hard into his icy- blue ones. A huge smile on her face,
he couldn't hold himself back and started to laugh.
"Just wait, you'll see. I'll get my revenge!"
She playfully punched his shoulder (which she had to reach up to do, since she was much shorter then he)
and giggled.
"Oh, you think so?"
so what do you think??? Got any ideas, please tell me and review!!!! PLEASE!!!!
