Chapter 5
'Legolas...'
Legolas closed his eyes as Aragorn whispered his name, the sound of the human seemed be very far. He was just here, but Legolas felt he was over there, even his keen sight could not get.
Why do I not die?
For I am still live?
Legolas sighed inward, he cannot answer, though he have been asked himself million times.
He could feel the quiver of the human's fingers as he helped him to loose the ropes. Legolas turned to back Aragorn as the human covered him a blanket. it was odd, the human didn't do anything he supposed, he didn't sneer at him, nor said any word of insult. He ought to hate him for he must be a servant instead of a guest.
Why?
Aragorn took a chair, siting beside the bed. He gazed at the back of the elf who didn't say any word since he entered.
'Legolas...' Aragorn whispered tenderly, he paused hesitantly as Legolas unwares shivered by his word.
'Sleep well.' said Aragorn casually as like nothing had happened, 'I will not leave you alone.' He added.
I will not leave you alone,Legolas. I will never let anyone hurt you. Aragorn promised inward, he didn't tell the elf who seemed be too fragile. He didn't want any word hurt him.
Legolas was still back the human, the room was quiet, very quiet, he can hear the breath of Aragorn clearly. He didn't like sleep with others in one room, but this time, he care not any of them, he hoped the human can be here. He couldn't tell why, only want.
Aragron kept his eyes on the elf, Legolas was calm, not shivering again. He rose to his feet carefully to overlook at the elf's fair face. Legolas was in his sound slumber with his eyes opened. Aragorn watched him for a while with a smile upon his lips, then he quietly sat down on the chair.
He turned toward the windows, it was almost dawn, he could touch the sight of red clouds as sun spilled her lights on.
A new day comes.
Aragron did not move when the door of the bedroom was suddenly opened, he looked up at the king.
King Thranduil seemed be very composure, Aragorn supposed he must catch the sound of him by his elf ears when he was out the door. He looked back at the human with an unreadable expression for a while, then walking toward Legolas.
Legolas was awake, he winced slightly when King Thranduil stretched his arm to touch his cheek.
But King Thranduil suddenly stopped, he frowned to skew at Aragorn who prevented him by holding his wrist silently.
'What are you doing little Estel?' King Thranduil drawed back, asking contemptuously.
'Protecting my master, King Thranduil.' stated Aragorn evenly, 'I am his servant, I will not let anyone hurt him until one month ends.'
King Thranduil nodded, 'Well, it is willing, I see.' He strode to the door, 'I got a message, I will tell you after breakfast. Suring you can on the council on time.

Aragorn skewed at Legolas, the elf recovered his always feature, as like nothing happened. He didn't look Aragorn even one time after they left his garden. He ignored him at all.
King Thranduil looked at them in turn, 'I received an invition this morning. We will attend the wedding of Princess Kalthy, Daughter of Lord Amenzon. Siynel and Manwe are going with me.'
He looked at Legolas who keeping his sight on the floor always, 'Legolas, I hope you can stay here.'
Legolas didn't answere, only nodded simply as like knowing his adar's plans early.
'Estel,' King thranduil abruptly said to Aragorn, 'you are going with us.' He smiled tenderly to Aragorn who hope to say something. 'I know your game, but you must be there with your brothers even Legolas are not there.' King Thranduil told him.
'But I want to know why Legolas has to stay here.' Aragorn suddenly asked, surprising everyone there.
'It's not your concern, little Estel.' King Thranduil smiled, warning him with his keen, bright eyes.
'I see. But,' Aragorn said, 'If Legolas isn't going, nor am I.' He stated.
'Estel!' Elladan complained, he cannot believe what he heard.
'You are mad!' Manwe said. 'You needn't care that at all.'
'Yes, I promised.' Aragorn said, 'I am his servant this month, I will not leave him here alone.' He gazed at King Thranduil, grimly stated, showing none of jest.
King Thranduil frowned, shotting a meaningful glance to Legolas who just sat there, as like it was not his concern.
'A difficult problem to me, my little friend.' Said King Thranduil with a peal of laughter, 'Of course I will not separate you from your brothers. 'He turned to Legolas, 'Well Legolas, you can go with us, but promise me you will follow me not leave.'
Legolas slowly raised his head, then nodded silently.
'Promise me, my son.' King Thranduil ordered.
'I will not leave you.' Legolas said with a cool thot to Aragorn, then lowered his head again, 'You have my words, adar.'
'Legolas...'
Legolas closed his eyes as Aragorn whispered his name, the sound of the human seemed be very far. He was just here, but Legolas felt he was over there, even his keen sight could not get.
