Ok, in my last chapter I made a little mistake. It should have been fiancée, not fiancé. Hee hee. Sorry. Here's your chapter!!
*~*~*~*~*~Chapter Ten~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ok, so maybe he was jumping the gun a little by calling her his fiancée, but he was sure she was the right one. He was determined to ask her tonight. The ring he had picked out in a village on the way there was perfect for Meleth. It had a thin silver band with a single blue diamond set in it. The diamond matched her eyes perfectly. Mattes was sure she would love it.
Meleth looked at Mattes with an odd look on her face. He had been standing there in thought for about a minute. "Ummm, Mattes?"
Mattes snapped out of his trance and once again admired her beauty. "You look. stunning. I'm not sure if I want to take you to the ball. I don't want other elves looking at what is mine."
Meleth giggled and blushed. "C'mon silly, we have to go or we'll be late."
Mattes offered her his arm and they walked down to the dinning hall, the perfect picture. Most of the guests were already there, and as the pair walked to the top of the stairs Elrond stood up.
"I am pleased to announce the much awaited arrival of Meleth, daughter of Glebriwen, and Novirion, son of Ashelmin. I am sure they will be welcomed here. Let the feast begin!"
Meleth and Mattes made their way to their seats to the left of Elrond. Elrond's eyes twinkled as they sat down. "I see you made it to dinner in one piece."
"Sir, we did not, errrr, uhhh, well, you know. I believe we were sabotaged," Mattes whispered back.
Elrond's eyes widened as he nodded. "We'll talk of this later."
Meanwhile, Meleth was making friends with Arwen, who was sitting next to her. Arwen was commenting on Meleth's dress.
"I can't believe that is the dress that looked so ugly on me. It's beautiful on you!" Arwen squealed.
Meleth could tell they were going to be great friends.
The feast went along as most feasts go. There was much food, much talking, and much laughing. Meleth and Mattes told the stories of their lives at least 20 times and listened to the elves ooh and ahh. The elves were amazed two other elves could grow up as men, one even not knowing she was an elf!!
After the feast there was dancing late into the night. Many male elves asked Meleth to dance, and after asking Mattes if it was ok, she obliged. Mattes, although he told Meleth it was ok, glared at each of her partners. Meleth was just trying to mingle and be polite, he knew that, and he knew the partners didn't know she was taken, but that didn't stop him from being extremely jealous. He did dance more than half of the night with Meleth, but this was overlooked by his jealousness. He decided tonight would be the night.
After the dancing, Elrond made a speech. "I would like to once again welcome Meleth and Novirion. To those of you not from Rivendell, stay as long as you like! There will be another feast in two days, when the King and Prince of Mirkwood arrive. Good night all!"
Meleth and Mattes walked off hand in hand. Mattes led Meleth to a secluded balcony and got down on one knee. He pulled out the stunning ring, and took Meleth's hand. "Meleth, will you marry me?"
A/N haha!! End of chapter!! I'm sorry for the long wait and the shortness. Review and I'll update faster!!
