This is my first attempt at a Lord of the Rings fic so please; keep the
flames to a minimum. I'm trying the best I can. It will be a Legolas/OC fic
and will have lots of chapters. Please review; it helps make the story
better!

Chapter One
The girl stared at the clear crystal water. Amethyst colored eyes gazed sadly upon her reflection. Gently she put her hand to her cheek, which had a long, thin, red wound on her smooth skin. "How could you do this to me..." She murmured her eyes filled with pain.
"My lady, Lord Elrond requests your presence now." A kind servant elf told her and she rose gracefully.
Her silk white gown flowed about her gracefully, hugging her curves; she was truly gorgeous even with the cut on her face. Beautiful wavy, raven dark hair cascaded down her back making her look like an angel. "All right, where is he?"
The servant led her to where the Council was being held in order to decide what to do about the one Ring. They all fell silent as the graceful angel stepped into the sunshine. "You requested my presence my lord." She bowed and Elrond stood and embraced her.
"There is no need to be so formal my goddaughter, please take a seat next to Legolas." He smiled kissing her on the nose when Legolas got to his feet and offered his arm.
"Let me escort you my lady, I am Legolas." He smiled charmingly at her and after her seemingly debating it in her mind, took his arm.
"Thank you Legolas," She murmured, avoiding his eyes fearful that her own would betray her and show her previous tears.
"I didn't know you had a goddaughter Elrond," Gandalf said in surprise, watching the beautiful girl hide her face, obviously ashamed of the small wound on her face. He sensed her wound caused not only physical pain but emotional as well, someone she trusted must have bestowed the mark upon her lovely face. "Or that she was your goddaughter,"
Elrond stiffened, "Yes, Kairi is my goddaughter Gandalf," He started to continue with what he was saying when Kairi heard a soft voice whisper in her ear.
"So your the girl all the palace guards can't keep their eyes off," Legolas teased and her face flamed red.
"Legolas, if you would kindly wait until the meeting is over before speaking to my goddaughter I would be most grateful." Elrond said through clenched teeth, noticing Kairi's flushed face and the grin on the elf's face.
"Yes my lord." He said forcing a calm look upon his features.
"-So then Kairi will accompany the Fellowship of the Ring." Elrond sighed, "I do not like it but it must be done."
"And put her in danger?" Legolas demanding getting to his feet. His soul instantly and violently rejected the idea of putting her in harm's way and had made him jump to his feet, startling him and everyone else.
Gandalf and Aragorn tried hard to mask their smiles, exchanging knowing looks. Legolas was already smitten with the girl and he had only just met her. Elrond however, frowned. "We have no choice, and since you seem to be so fond of my goddaughter I insist that you be her guard." He liked Legolas very much but was unsettled as to how protective he was being of her.
"My pleasure my lord." Legolas bowed and the meeting was over leaving only Aragorn, Legolas, and Kairi.
"Kairi, it's a pleasure to meet the girl of which all the guards speak." Aragorn said giving Legolas a wink.
"And it's a pleasure to meet the man who my god sister is so in love with." Kairi said with her eyes sparkling at the look of embarrassment upon Aragorn's face. "I've heard much about you Aragorn, it will be most interesting to travel with you."
Aragorn laughed, "I'm sure it will, but I doubt your protector will let you out of his arms, I mean, sight." He grinned at the blush creeping over her face. "Well I'll just leave you to get better aquatinted with your guardian since you two are going to be so close. My lady, Legolas." With a bow he was gone leaving Legolas to glare at his retreating figure.
A small giggle caught his attention and he turned to see Kairi trying to hide her smile, "You must admit guardian, it was clever."
He smiled in return, "Please, its Legolas."
"All right, as long as you call me Kairi as well." She ordered as she placed a hand on her cheek, then quickly drawing it away as she realized what she'd done.
"Kairi, what left that wound upon your cheek?" He asked stepping close and leaning in to look at it clearer. Instantly her eyes widened as she realized just how close he was.
"Kairi! Come here!" Elrond's voice was harsh, standing next to Gandalf who looked bemused. Gandalf had to admit; it did look as if Legolas was leaning in for another reason, not to check her wound.
She swiftly walked to him and he motioned for Legolas to do the same. "Kairi... go with Gandalf to meet with the hobbits, Legolas, stay, I wish to speak with you." His voice was like ice and Kairi glanced uneasily at Legolas who was standing tall, refusing to look intimidated.
"Godfather... I request to stay." Kairi said, Elrond looked furious and she feared what he might say or do to Legolas.
"No, go." Gandalf stepped forth and drew her away with his staff.
"Come my dear, let's leave them alone..." He murmured as she tried to turn and glance behind. Finally he succeeded in getting her away and the two elves were left alone.
"You are protective of her," Elrond said eyeing Legolas.
"It is my duty, you assigned me as her guard."
"That was after you protested that she be kept out of harm's way."
Legolas flinched internally; he did not like how this was going. "Yes then, I am protective of her."
"And just now, what were you doing, you were very close to her face." Elrond narrowed his eyes.
Legolas's surprise showed on his face. "Surely you have noticed? Kairi has a recent wound; she reached up and touched it, then withdrew her hand so fast it was as if she had burnt it. I was concerned."
Elrond's face showed his relief and surprise. "I am sorry Legolas, I am very protective of my precious goddaughter, and so I jumped to conclusions. Take good care of her, her worth to me is great." Then without a word he had left, leaving Legolas to his own thoughts.
'He thought I was going to kiss her...'
