Zoe woke up the next morning. She stretched out her arms and legs. As her legs stretched out, she felt something by her foot. She sat up quickly to see what it was. Her eyes were filled with excitement. There by her feet lie a beautiful light pink dress. She jumped out of bed and went straight for the mirror. She brushed out her wavy black hair and washed her face. She ran outside and picked little white flowers and ran straight back to her room. She carfully put each flower in her hair. She walked over to her bed, picked up the dress, and went into the bathroom to change into it. She walked out of the bathroom and went to the mirror. She stared at herself. She couldn't believe she was wearing this beautiful dress. The dress went down to her knees. It had skinny straps that you pull over your shoulders, and it had a little bow in the back.
"Who could've gotten me a dress so fancy?" She wondered. She decided to show it off, so she started to walk around. As she was walking around she started to get nervous, because elf maids were looking at her and whispering to eachother. But she still continued.
Haldir knocked on Zoe's door. There was no answer. He opened the door to find no one in there. He turned and started walking to go look for her. He asked others if they have seen her. One of the elf maids responded "Yes I seen her, she went that way." She pointed to the destination. Haldir continued on. As he got there, he stopped because he saw someone. It was Zoe. She was walking barefooted around by the trees. She was smiling and she twirled around a couple times. Her wavy hair got in her face but she didn't care. Haldir stood there astonished by how beautiful she looked. Zoe noticed someone was watching her and she looked up.
" Hi Haldir," she greeted " did you see my new dress? Do you know who gave it to me?" she asked. He smiled at her
"Probably Lady Galadriel." he answered " Don't go sneaking off like that, I got worried that someone took you."
"I'm sorry," she giggled "come on lets walk around." She pulled his arm
"okay " He smiled and walked with her. " I've been meaning to ask you, How old are you?"
"I'm 19, but why do you want to know?"she asked.
"I was just wondering." he replied.
" It would be amazing to live forever." she told him. He looked at her.
"I can live forever, well actually age forever." he told her. She stopped and looked at him.
"oh.... thats neat.." she said. They stopped to rest for a while. Zoe saw three big rocks and wanted to climb on them. So she did. As she climbed on them, Haldir stood up to keep an eye on her. "So, do you have a wife any kids?" she asked
Haldir looked up at her "no haven't really met the right one." he told her. She started walking down the rocks. "I'm sorry, I hope you do." she said. "well I have to go tell Lady Galadriel thanks for getting me this dress."
"It looks lovely on you." he told her and he started smiling. She blushed and smiled back at him.When she started to walk off the rock she stumbled and almost fell but Haldir ended up catching her by the waist. Her arms were around his neck. She looked up at him and he looked down at her. The wind was blowing her hair out of her face. 'She's so beautiful' he thought. He stared into her beautiful emerald green eyes and then slowly leaned down and softly kissed her lips. She pulled him closer to him and continued to kiss him. He parted her lips with his lips and slowly stuck his tongue in her mouth. Zoe thought for a minute and pulled away from his kissing.
"Haldir I'm sorry I can't do this." she told him. He looked at her.
" why? Whats wrong?" he asked. He held her hand and waited for her to answer.
" I can't .... I .. I got to go." she pulled her hand away and ran off.
"Zoe! Wait!" he yelled. He tried to follow her, but he lost sight of her........
Zoe kept running and didn't stop. She ran out of Lothlorien and down the stairs. She entered the woods. She fell but then got up and ran until she was far from Lothlorien.
She stopped and rested for a couple of minutes. She decided to climb on a tree, so if they come searching for her, they can't spot her. She sat in the tree and hugged her knees. Tears were falling down her cheeks. She sat and thought about Haldir for the rest of the night....
