Chapter 3-
Legolas woke up to find the sun streaming in through his windows. From the sun's position it looked to be midday.
He quickly got up, stretched, and put on a new tunic and trousers. Legolas made his way to the dining area where he thought Aragorn might be.
As he approached the dining room he overheard two voices yelling. Legolas stopped walking and deciphered one of the voices to be Aragorn's. He didn't recognized the other. Legolas stood where he was and tried to block the conversation out. Just as he turned to go he heard his name.
'Legolas is a dear friend of mine and of this kingdoms' and he would protect us no matter what the cost besides, he was in his room all night long.'
'That may be true Lord Aragorn,' the other voice replied,' but we still have our doubts about him.'
The fight must have ended because the next thing Legolas knew a man came barreling out the door closely followed by Aragorn. Aragorn looked at Legolas with a startled expression and opened his mouth to speak, probably to ask how much Legolas had heard but, Legolas shook his head and continued down the hall leaving Aragorn behind.
Aragorn's POV--------------------------
I watched Legolas go down the hall and outside. I couldn't hide my astonishment of finding him outside the very room that held an argument he heard. I wondered to myself as I walked to follow him how much he had heard. I walked swiftly and saw Arwen at the gates leading out.
'What happened, Legolas seemed calm but you can tell he wasn't.'
I sighed and explained to my wife that he had overheard a conversation between me and Kain, who is a top guard in Gondor, and that I don't know how much he heard.
She smiled sadly and walked away in the direction that I had just come from. I sighed again and went out to find Legolas.
Legolas's POV------------------
I sat in the tallest tree in the fields of Gondor. I sat here thinking and because I knew Aragorn would be looking for me and I didn't really want to talk. The conversation didn't matter to me because I have faced this before.
I took a deep breath as the wind came by me. In a way it was refreshing. I climbed down the tree a little and found a comfortable spot. I closed my eyes to feel the trees and everything else. Gondor may not have nice people but the atmosphere was peaceful.
Lost in the thoughts of other things I almost didn't hear someone approach. I slightly smiled because I knew Aragorn had found me anyways. I looked down to see him just about at my spot. When he got there I moved over a little to give him more room. He opened his mouth again to speak but I was more quicker.
'It does not bother me mellon nin as you think it does.'
He looked relieved and he visibly relaxed. I could see that when he relaxed he was tired and looked stressed. I knew the feeling well enough.
'Legolas I'm sorry,' he began,' I don't know what it takes for my people to trust yours.'
If I had a look of peace it was gone now. 'My people Aragorn are gone now so it's just me, though I'd rather be gone to and I think your people will take care of that.'
I jumped out of the tree and ran deeper into the woods. Aragorn still sat there, surprised and hurt at the harshness of my voice. I knew I should go back and apologize but a strong wave of hate came over me and I plunged deeper into the woods hoping I could come to the fate of my people. ----------------------------------------- I hope you liked this chapter. It was a bit longer, eh? Keep those reviews coming and the suggestions they both help a lot!!
