A/N: OK, here we are again. I wanted to apologize for getting the next chapter out so late, I just wanted to update "Kaldur DeCahr" so bad. I mean, once Cassia herself reviews your story it really pumps you to write more. *grins*

CASSIA REVIEWED MY STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Party music plays* But probably only because it is after all a story about her own OC, and cause I told her it was up.

Anyway, back to the answering.

Haha Grumpy! There is a bit of Estel in this chapter. Not much, but a little pinch. I am pretty sure there is more of him in the next chapter.

WOW! Tough words Alex Mistress Squirrel. Hehe. Well, would it help if I told you I wanted her to stay with Aragorn too. J Seriously, I do want her to a little bit, I don't like Arwen, I would much rather see Glorfie, but that is just me. Anyway, hope you like this chapter.

LINWEN! What are you doing here mellon nin?! This is your own story, you know that right. Hehe, I know ya do. Linwen says to please not kill her. And do not be mad nin tithen edan mellon.

Haha Ymmas Sirron, I showed your review to Linwen on the day she came over, she was speechless. I rather liked it but she was sad that people are trying to kill her. *grins* Anyway, there is a bit of Aragorn in this, though I am not sure if it is as much as you want.

Thanks Actresschikmoiinimladris, hope I spelled that right?

I agree Frisha, let's have more Estel! Sorry but there is not much of him in this chapter, I am pretty sure there will be a lot of him in the next one though.

Ok, so here it is.

Chapter 7

Snow Ball

Alede let a sigh escape her lips, as she pushed the door that led out of The Night Cap open, and was starting down the street, and away from the drunks that were by now starting to pass out from all the beer they had drank.

She couldn't take another moment of that place, even the rooms smelled of pipe smoke so thick it assaulted you on entering.

She breathed deeply of the fresh, brisk night air. She looked up at the heavens momentarily, the moon was full and bright, and the silver stars twinkled brightly in the black night sky.

The temperature had dropped considerably, and Alede guessed it to be around 20 degrees or less.

She did not shiver like the rest of the people around her, for she didn't really feel the cold that try as it might to bite at her. She didn't really need the leather cloak she had slipped into before she had left.

Even though it was autumn, snow had started to fall, the white snow dancing in the wind.

The flakes collected in her dark hair, making it look as if white stars had collected in the dark locks.

The beautiful snow collected on the ground, sticking to the brown earth for a time.

She smiled, sitting herself on the bench next to the fountain where only a few days before they had seen Aragorn.

She looked up into the heavens once more, watching as the flakes made their descent.

Some of the white snow fell onto her pale face, she laughed lightly as she gently brushed away the soft pieces of ice.

"I have not seen you act this way in.....years." Legolas's voice came to Alede's keen ears and she looked in the direction the voice had come from.

Legolas stood, leaned against the side of a building, watching Alede.

A pale red blush colored her cheeks. "I have not had the time to enjoy such things of late." Her reply so soft that the prince was the only one who could have herd her.

Legolas nodded, pushing off of the side of the building and moving towards her.

~~~~*~~~~

Aragorn looked out the window of his room, it was night, and nothing but the pale moon light lit the rather small room.

Everyone in the house was asleep except for him, he sat, pondering if he should retire to bed, or go out side.

Going out side won over in the end, and he rose from the side of the bed he had been sitting on, and quietly slipped his boots and leather coat on.

Moving silently out of the room, and walking towards the door, he quietly opened it, and slipped out, shutting the door behind him.

His keen ears caught the sound of joyful laughter coming from the middle of town, not a half a block away.

He turned and started toward the sound.

~~~~*~~~~

Alede formed a ball of snow, as Legolas approached, and when the elf was but 7 feet away, and in good range she let the ball fly, it hit the elf in the arm.

Legolas closed his eyes and shook his head, a smirk forming on his pale face.

"That *will* cost you." He said, as he bent down, and formed a ball of snow and let it fly in Alede's direction.

Alede ducked it, laughter spilled from her as she sent a snow ball flying in return.

He ducked it, and sent another flying towards Alede.

Snow balls were flying threw the air back and forth, both beings enjoying the snow ball fight to much to even notice the human who was watching them.

Towns folk who were still out in the streets smiled as they glimpsed the youth's snow ball fight.

Shaking their heads and laughing softly as they continued on their way.

Aragorn watched the two beings as snow balls continued to be thrown through the air, back and forth.

Images, pictures appeared before his mind, pictures of the ranger type women, and the other, the blond one.

His heart tugged at him, and his mind ached with a pain as furious as he felt in his hand.

He could not watch this any longer. He turned and started back towards home.

Alede let the last snow ball fly which would end the fight.

It hit Legolas in the chest. Legolas's eyes narrowed slightly in mock anger.

"And yet again you loose a snow ball fight." Alede said with the very essence of innocence.

Legolas rolled his eyes, "Taryalanca taur'ohtar." He muttered.

But Alede had herd him and burst into helpless laughter.

"Oh very funny." The prince said as he moved toward the helplessly laughing half elf.

His arms wrapped around Alede's waist, and he kissed her.

Silencing Alede's laughter, as she kissed him back.

She pulled away, she could not, would not hurt Legolas again.

"Legolas...." Alede said, as she turned from him.

"I am sorry." He said, laying his hand on Alede's shoulder.

"We had better be getting back." She said, a small smile on her face, changing the subject.

He nodded and they started back towards The Night Cap.

The two began to walk beck to the inn, Alede ahead of Legolas, the elf prince sighed and looked up to the skies.

"I know she is the one Eru, please, I just know it."

TBC~
