Chapter4: Venom in your blood.

The next morning as he Stood outside his brothers room he suddenly felt nervous he'd never liked his older brother but the prospect of telling him how he felt about the woman he was going to marry scared him. Breathing deep to steady nerves he knocked on the door. Hearing the muffled come in he stepped inside to see his brother stood while tailors made sure the frock coat fit properly.

"Ah Legolas I'm so glad to see you these tailors are driving me mad" Caspian said rushing them out of the room.

"How are you Legolas I heard Nurserke has accused you of being more than friendly with my Nevsangaiel" Caspian smirked as he removed the uncomfortable jacket and slipped into the clothes he was accustomed to. That was another thing he never liked about Caspian the fact that he claimed things that weren't his and he gritted his teeth to stay calm.

"Yes he has and with good reason" Legolas said boldly afraid of what his brother would do.

"Why is that Legolas why would he accuse you of something like that?" Caspian asked calmer than Legolas had expected but still with a hint of venom in it. The air felt heavy with the tension that was steadily building between the two and Legolas removed the thin cloak he wore.

"She isn't happy don't you understand that? She hardly knows you and she's terrified of what's going to happen" Legolas said trying to keep the words from spilling from his mouth, that he loved her with every ounce of his being since the first time they had met and it should be him that was marrying her not Caspian.

"How do you know this brother? Have you been having secret rendezvous with her? Have you taken her purity to spite me?" The words his brother spoke we're venomous and spiteful but to insult her honour was too much. With all the might he could muster he punched his brother in the face and knocked him to the floor. Pining him to the ground he was going to make Caspian listen to him for once.

"How dare you even say something like that if you even felt an ounce of the feelings that I feel for her you wouldn't even think to utter such words you're despicable you don't even like her you just want to get hold of the land her father owns" Legolas spoke now with anger in his voice even as his brother struggled beneath him he smirked.

"This is what it's all about is it you're infatuated and jealous oh this is a classic dear brother" Caspian grinned thinking that his brother was being stupid.

He slapped him this time lightly about the cheek to show his brother he meant business "It's much more than infatuation brother I've loved her for years and you look at her like trophy. If you had any decency left in your body you would call this wedding off and let her be happy" Legolas shouted and suddenly was knocked from his position over his brother.

His father had slapped him and now he laid on his back his father towering above him like a giant. "How dare you touch your brother when he is getting married tomorrow, how dare you even question him" Thranduil bellowed at his youngest son. He hadn't heard the whole conversation between the two but had heard enough and he was furious.

Even from her room far away from Caspian's she heard Thranduil shouting at Legolas and she panicked. when the door opened and a servant came in to give her breakfast after she had dressed she took the opportunity and tore from the room "Daughter where are you going?" she heard her father below but she ignored him running as fast as she could to the sound of Thranduil's voice.
