Chapter 1 –Just kids
"I'll catch you Nessa!" Legolas laughed as he ran through the halls of his father's palace.
"No you won't!" Cried Nessa. "Your too slow!!"
The five year old Nessa turned the corner to see a six year old Legolas come around the corner after her. She did not even notice her road block and ran streight into King Thranduil. Thranduil looked down at the small girl who had just run into him. Smiling kindly he lifted her up into his arms. "Why whatever is the matter Nessa?" he asked smiling Nessa was still breathing hard but he managed to catch "Legolas....chase me!" He smiled just as Legolas stopped in front of him. "Legolas were you chasing Nessa?" Legolas did not answer because suddenly his feet looked very interesting. Nessa rested her head on the king's shoulder and closed her eyes.
"Come Legolas let's go find Meadhros and give his daughter back. Thranduil took his son's hand and began to lead him down the corridor.
Thranduil had always wanted a daughter but his wife had died before she could give birth to another child. So Nessa had been his equivalent of a daughter. Thranduil opened the door to a study and found Maedhros with his son Ardan, who was 8. Legolas imidiatly let go of his fathers hand not wanting to look like a baby in front of Ardan.
"Does this belong to you?" asked the king motioning to Nessa, still in his arms. Meadhros smiled
"Yes I believe it does" Thranduil handed the now sleeping Nessa to Maedhros. Maedhros sighed. Nessa reminded him so much of his lovely wife who had died in the same orc raid as Thranduil's wife.
"Legolas do you want to go practice archery?" asked Ardan Legolas' face brightened up he loved archery even at a young age.
"Yes! I would love to!"
* ~ * 20 years later... Nessa was walking through the trees one afternoon singing an elvish song when some voices caught her ear. She began to walk towards them wondering who they could be. She saw some people in a clearing and hid behind a tree. Listening carefully she could hear female voices.
"Oh my yes the prince!! He is handsome! What wonderful features he has!" At this Nessa rolled her eyes. It had to Alatariel and her Mordor orcs! (Nobles daughters)
"Yes he would be a very fine husband indeed. And when he gets older he will have a wonderful archer's build." Said another.
"And those blue eyes!" 'Alright that's it!! I've heard enough! I'm leaving!' But just as she turned around to walk away she heard something that made her fume!!
"But what of Nessa? He likes her."
"I don't understand what he sees in her." Said a third girl. Nessa finally heard Alatariel speak.
"Nessa is ugly! She is too fat." Nessa looked down at her flat but firm stomach. She was not fat. But Alatariel still spoke.
"Her hair is not a normal color for an elf. It is too gold! And her
eyes are not blue enough. She is altogether hideous! I believe she
could scare away an orc!" This earned a laugh from the other girls. But Nessa heard none of their laughter. She was too stunned to move. Then slowly tears welled up in her eyes and she bolted in the direction of the palace. Once she was through the gates she ran faster and turing the corner she ran smack into something. That something was Legolas.
"Quel du Nessa where..." he trailed off when he saw her tear stained face.
"Nessa?" he asked. "what's wrong?" Nessa turned away and mumbled, "I'm sorry your highness I did not see you there" Legolas blinked in surprise. She never called him that! However Legolas did not even get a chance to respond before Nessa ran around him and down the halway.
"Nessa wait!" he called But to no avail. Dun dun dun!!! Well I know there isnt much of a story here to be waiting for so whatever! So please do me a favor and press that little gray button down there and tell me what you think!! HELTHY CRITICISM IF YOU HAVE TO!!! PLEASE NOTHING MEAN!!!!! Update soon! ^_^ -Ireth
