Hey thanks so much for the great reviews!! Here is chapter 6.

~* Chapter 6 *~

Gimli left them alone in the small flet. "This is truly very nice of you Leuthil." Legolas told her as he walked around the room, "Tell me what motivated you to do such a nice thing for one which you despise?"

"I realized how cruel I had been to you and decided to do something nice in return for forgiveness."

"Well, as I already said you are forgiven as long as you forgive me. I truly did not think you would get so angry."

"I accept your apology."

"Very well, what do you wish to do for the rest of the day?"

"I do not know?" she said as she shrugged her shoulders.

"How about showing me some of your poems? That would be nice." Leuthil thought twice before replying. Her poems were very personal, but she decided on accepting, as she didn't wish to get into another fight.

"Very well, follow me." Legolas followed her to one of the lower flets. He walked in and was surprised at how beautifully decorated her flet was. There were many woven sheets that looked like silk, thin enough though to see the stars, hanging from the branches, which surrounded the flet. Her furniture, which she had very little of, was magnificently carved. The many vines and leaves were outlined in silver, which shined brightly.

"Your flet is very beautiful." He told her as he looked around.

"Thank you, you may sit if you wish while I go get the poems." She told him over her shoulder. He sat down Leuthil thought he looked amusing. She had not seen him sit before. She went to the bookshelf and took one of the books she had filled with poems. Its cover was black with a silver G in the Elvin script, which stood for Gandalf. It had many intricate designs going around the large symbol. Gandalf had given it to her on one of his visits.

She handed it to Legolas where he was sitting and sat nearby. Legolas took the book and opened it to the first page. There he read in the elvish language:

~*~ I want to live life, and never be cruel

I want to live life, and be good to you,

I want to fly, and never come down,

And live my life, and have friends around

We never change do we?

No

We never learn do we?

So I want to live in a wooden house

I don't have a soul to save,

Yes and I sin every day

Making more friends would be easy,

I want to live where the sun comes out.

~*~

That is very beautiful Leuthil." He said when he finished reading.

"Thank you Legolas." She said somewhat embarrassed at letting him read the poem. She had never even let Haldir read them.

"Show me another good one! One of your favorites." He handed her the book. She flipped through the pages. She handed back the book with the page to her favorite poem open.

Legolas took the small book and read once more:

~*~ To my sunk eyes

On my daylight

I saw a sunrise

I saw a sunlight

I have nothing

In the dark

And the clouds burst

To show the daylight

And the sunshine

On a starry night

And I realized

Could I live without

Could I part without

On a hill top

On the sky rise

Like a firstborn child

On a full day

On a full flight

I feel darkness

In the daylight

~*~

Legolas finished reading and was amazed at how beautifully she wrote. Though he noted these were not happy poems but that they were full of sorrow.

"I love them Leuthil. You are an extraordinary writer."

"Thank you Legolas."

"Tell me though why are your poems so poignant?"

"I have not the heart to tell you yet. That is far more personal than those poems."

"Very well I will not further dwell on the matter. Do you mind if I borrow this, I would much like to read more, and it is getting late out, I should go up to my flet."

"Go ahead, you may take it. Goodnight." She said as she led him to the exit of the flet.

Legolas walked up to the small flet and continued reading. There were so many and so beautifully written. He wondered how such gloomy things came from such a happy and witty person.

It was late when he finally decided to get some rest. He slept for a very short amount of time and was energetic the next morning. He went down to where the fellowship was to join them for breakfast.

"There you are Legolas!" Aragorn said happy to see his friend. "Tell me where have you been?"

"I was offered a flet from one of the elves. I thought Gimli was going to inform you."

"Yes, do not worry he did. I was simply double checking." They sat down at the same table from before and waited for breakfast to come. Leuthil approached with the too large trey. Legolas offered help but she insisted he not help her.

She went back for the second trey and returned. She gave them all as before plates, goblets, forks, etc. When she finished Gimli asked her to join them.

"Will you not join us for breakfast Leuthil?"

"No, thank you for the offer though. I am not hungry and besides I have many things to do today. I shall see you all later." She then turned and left.

Leuthil went back to the small tent where Voronwer was waiting, "I heard you had the Elvin prince in your flet in the very recent past." Voronwer said with a smile on her face.

"Who told you this?"

"Well, just about everyone knows. News travels quickly here my dear."

"Well, nothing happened. The Prince is here to rest not to be winning Elvin maiden's hearts and to be the center of gossip. I am sure he would most likely hate that people are talking about him in this time of grief and with all the evil about."

"Oh, come now Leuthil. The prince is no stranger to the woods of Lothlorien. You can tell me what happened. We are good friends are we not?"

"Yes, we are and that is why I shall tell you the truth. Nothing happened, a prince like Legolas is never going to go for a common elf like me." Leuthil said boldly, making Voronwer aware to stop questioning. "Now tell me what other tasks do I have for today?"

"You must go up to the guest rooms assigned to you and change the sheets and replace the water in the pitchers with new water. Then you will have to go to the archery range and polish the target boards."

"Very well. Is that all?"

"Hmm? When you finish that come back, I might have more work for you." Leuthil could see she had made Voronwer angry, and was now regretting it.

Leuthil was busy for the rest of the day, there were many guest rooms and polishing target boards was not easy.

Legolas finished breakfast and went up to his flet. He supposed he would continue reading Leuthil's poems as she had said she would be busy.

He got the small book from where he had left it on the bed and went down the winding stairs again. He came to a very secluded part of the forest and leaned on a tree to read. He had been there for a long time by now when he heard something behind him. He could tell they were an elf's feet and did not move, as he was sure it was someone friendly.

Orophin walked in front of him. "Orophin! Old friend, I have not spoken with you in much time. Why are you not at your post?"

"Haldir sent me to deliver a message to Lord Celeborn then he said I could have the rest of the day off. Tell me, what are you reading?" Orophin told him as he looked at the small book.

"It is a book of poems" Legolas hesitated in telling him it was Leuthil's since he knew how Orophin felt about her. Before Legolas could tell him it was Leuthil's, comprehension came into Orophin's eyes.

"Then it must be Leuthil's. She is the only one whom writes poems in this wood. That is very nice of her, she has not let even Haldir read them. Tell me, do you fancy her?"

"No, of course not. We are only friends. Do not worry Orophin, she is all yours, I will not do anything to try to claim her as mine." A look of surprise came across Orophin's face.

"Who told you she was mine?" Orophin said as he thought of some way to punish whichever of his brothers it had been who told Legolas.

"I shall not tell you, as I can see you wish to hurt whoever told me. I know she is not yours but you do wish her to be yours do you not, Orophin?"

"Yes, I shall not deny it, I love or like her very much, but she does not seem to share the feelings."

"Well, that is to bad. Maybe I can talk to her about it?" Legolas told him trying to help.

"No, it is fine. Leave it as it is, she will never love me." Sadness now dominated Orophin's face.

"It is okay Orophin, she may yet come around, you are one of the most sought after bachelors in all the woods of Lothlorien and I am sure she is crazy not to accept your love."

"Thank you for your kind words friend. Well, I shall leave you to your reading. Good day!" He then walked into the woods.

Legolas felt bad for Orophin. He could see how much he liked this girl and he would try to help him win her heart. Maybe it would be good for both Leuthil and Orophin.

A/N What is Legolas planning?? Will he be able to help without falling in love? Review if you want to, I would appreciate if you did! The poems are actually songs written by Coldplay and it's the first time I have ever used poems in a story. So they are not mine.
