Disclaimers: I do not own anyone that you know from Lord of the Rings.
They belong to the amazing J.R.R. Tolkien. Mellindria, or Melly, is my own
character.
I'm sorry that I didn't update as much. I've been pretty busy since Chinese School is coming to an end and soon, school will be out. I hope you all enjoy reading this chapter. The characters' thoughts will be in '.', regular dialogue is in ".", and my comments will be in [ . ].

Chapter 5 - A Coincidence
~**~**~**~
Legolas noticed how everything might fit together. The girl had followed Legolas. She dropped her bracelet. He picked it up. She was a friend of Arwen's. She told Arwen about what happened. She wanted her bracelet back. Legolas had the bracelet and could probably, just maybe, give it back to her. She'd answer his questions and then everyone would be happy. Too bad life wasn't that easy . . .
Legolas carefully and silently climbed the tall tree out side of their window. He looked down and tried to see through the thin, silver drapes. He saw Arwen's slender figure and another slender girl in the room. The other girl was probably the one who had lost the bracelet. 'Could she have been the one who lost the bracelet? Could she have been the one following me?' Legolas wondered.
"Come on, Melly. We better go to meet my father for dinner. If we're late, he'll know that something is going on." Arwen said, trying to get Mellindria to keep her mind off of things. "We can talk about the plans later," Arwen told Melly.
'I guess that Melly is her name. I wonder who she is . . .' he pondered. 'And plans?' Legolas thought. 'What plans are they talking about?'
Legolas tried to inch forward just a little bit to get a better look but his hand slipped and he ended up falling from his perch. Down he fell . . . scattering leaves, breaking branches, sending birds everywhere. He landed with a crash as he found himself . . . on their balcony!
The girls both eyed him suspiciously. Legolas felt himself turning a deep shade of red and he felt very, very embarrassed.
"I was just looking for . . . uh . . . um . . . the owner of this bracelet?" Legolas answered, trying to sound convincing. He didn't belong in their room, especially because he had sort of trespassed. Legolas wanted to get out of there as quick as possible.
"In the trees?" Arwen questioned, eyebrows raised.
"Well, you see . . . I enjoy sitting in the treetops and watching the clouds. I happened to have overheard some of your conversation and -"
"Stop," Arwen said calmly. "You don't need to go into details. Just leave and forget anything that has happened. Tomorrow, we can find some time to talk about everything. For now, we have places to go and things to do so . . ."
Meanwhile, Mellindria remained silent. Before Legolas had even gotten up to leave, she managed to ask quietly, "May we have the bracelet??"
Legolas felt a bit disoriented and he was in deep thought. 'Should I give the bracelet to them?' he thought. 'If I do, maybe I can get some answers. If I don't give it to them, they could just report me to Lord Elrond. Sooner or later, I'd have to give it back to them . . .' What would Legolas do???
He thought back to how this girl had kept herself hidden from him. He thought about how no matter what, he couldn't find out who she was. All he knew about her was her name. How could he find out more about her? How could he gain her trust?

Sorry guys! This is a cliffhanger but I still need to think about what Legolas will answer. Check back some other time for the next chapter!
Much love, Liangsui ~*
