~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Legolas, can't you just skip those intimate moments, like kissing, in your story. It makes me a bit uncomfortable. "Frodo chuckled and twisted his hands, as he saw my visible dreamy expression.
"My dear hobbit, intimacy is the part of the life. But if you insist I will skip those little details." I grinned and I pulled at my tunic which was little wrinkled from the sitting.
"Don't get me wrong. I love the romantic stories, but these days darkness is all that occupies my life. I wish that I have any fond memories of love, so I can remember what life is when it is filled with that feeling."
"Don't tell me that you are inexperienced in the ways of love, my friend. You cannot tell me that the darkness is all you feel. I've seen your eyes flickering when one certain hobbit is around you. You love him, don't you."
"Legolas, Shhh. Somebody may hear you." Frodo placed the hand on my lips, stopping the other words in process.
"Oh, somebody is keeping a secret. Do not worry young one, your secret is safe with me." I said with a teasing voice and Frodo's face turned ripe red.
"Legolas...how do you know, about.. hrmm ...."
"Frodo, I am an elf and I am gifted with a good eyesight. And besides everybody can see it that you are in love with him. Pity he doesn't see it, but he might, if you confess it to him."
"Legolas, it is too late. I don't know if I will survive this peril, and we are facing too many dangers to really think about what love really mans for us."
"It is never too late. Maybe for me it is, but for you it is not. I let my love go a long time ago and I regretted it ever since. My life is empty without Haldir, and although I hold Aragorn's favor it's just not the same. I love Haldir and I will try to win his heart once again while I am here in Lothlorien, but I seriously doubt he will take me back." My eyes were filled with the sadness and Frodo saw the depth of the emotions that were kept hidden inside of myself. I suddenly remembered that day, when I made a wager with my former lover and when I thought that the game was surely on my side. I clearly saw it like it was yesterday as the twins gazes turned serious and they gave me an almost deathly glare. That was the first time I felt like a monster, but that didn't stop me on my way to become most famous seducer and later most hated one in the Mirkwood.
"Legolas, what are you thinking?" Frodo asked me as he arched his brow in a question.
"I am thinking about the day when I made a bet with my ex lover, and the person who the bet was about, was Haldir. Valar, there is no hope that he will never forgive me for that. Centuries had passed, but I clearly remember it like it was now."
"You never know, Legolas. He can't hold those things against you for long, because at that time you were very young. And young people sometimes tend to make mistakes. Now, tell me about that day. I want to know what happened."
"Of course. I shall continue."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It had passed couple of the hot summer days since Haldir bestowed that beautiful kiss under the tree, and after that he just strangely disappeared. I tried to find him all around Mirkwood, but it seemed to me that he had been avoiding me. I walked in the gardens, graced by some shade, thinking about what to do next to win Galadrhim's favor. Kiss was something that lingered with me, because I still could recall the other's taste and his sweet breath on my lower lip. Strange how that scratch of intimate moment got me all giddy inside, making my head spin every time I remembered that two second's of the rapture.
(Was I falling in love?) I couldn't tell, because the love was something unrecognizable to me even when the all signs pointed in one direction. (Haldir's direction)
So caught up I was in my thoughts that day, that I didn't notice bumping into Olwe, my former lover and the rudest guard I have ever met. I didn't know what I saw in him in my younger days, well maybe except his well formed body but otherwise this elf was the complete waste of time. He flashed the wicked grin as he saw me, and I prayed to Valar to send me some kind of the escape from this inescapable conversation. Behind Olwe there were three other guards, two of them had already shared the bed with me but I couldn't put their names together. (Oh, well. I don't need to know all the elves by the name in this realm ). I grinned as I checked the third elf which was new one to my eye.
He looked very young, almost elfling, with the golden hair that reached to his hips and bright green eyes that were most enchanting. I wondered how my eye missed that beauty and I decided that later much later when I finish with Haldir, this elfling would be mine.
"Ah, Olwe. What brings you to the gardens this lovely afternoon."
"Legolas. How nice to see you. Actually you are the reason what brings me to gardens. I wish to speak with you."
"Go on. Speak." I told him, and my eyes started to scan the young elf's body. Olwe must have noticed it because he frowned and he brought his hand to my jaw, tilting my head so I can see his eyes.
"See something you like over there, princeling."
Olwe said in the mocking tone and my anger started working as I pushed his hand from my face.
"Olwe! If you still want your hands attached to your body, I suggest you don't touch me. Are we clear? And yes I was looking at the elfling behind you. He is the lovely vision, isn't he."I flashed the predatory smile at the young one, and surprisingly enough the elfling gave me a shy smile which made him look so adorable.
"I really wouldn't know that because he is my youngest brother, and he is out of the reach to you. Do not try anything or I will be forced to kill you." Olwe said in the cold tone and he turned his head to the young one. "Amdir, leave us." Olwe called for his brother in the slightly angered tone, and the youngling obeyed, leaving with his head bowed down.
"So you needed to speak to me. About what, may I ask." I requested the answer again, wanting to make this conversation as short as possible.
Olwe gave me a calculating look as he started to speak, and I knew that the other elf was up to something.
"I saw you and Marchwarden at the lake five days ago and I saw how intimate you've become. The servant also told me about the kiss that happened under the tree, and gossip is spreading around that Haldir had rejected you. I just came here to rub it in your face, princeling. It seems to me that you are loosing your touch."
"My, my. Me loosing my touch. Oh Olwe, you don't know how wrong you are and what my plans are for that prickly Marchwarden. I am not loosing my touch. I am just beginning my game that I used to play with you in the past. Do you remember that game, you were burned participant once upon the time. Now it is just Haldir's turn to be that chosen player."
"Oh aren't we a little arrogant. I've heard about Haldir and I must say he is the tough skin, that one. His loins won't fail him and he will reject your attentions, my fair one. He is not easy player and maybe this time you will end up burned. Oh, I see a bet coming. What say you, Legolas."
"I suppose the bet is about this game of mine. Isn't it?" I sneered. "Fine I will bet but under the one condition. If I succeed and if I win Haldir's favor, I get to have your brother for one night.
"What? I don't accept it, choose any other condition but leave my brother out of it."
"No! Either that or there will be no bet." I grinned at the angry elf and I knew for the fact that he won't be able to resist this challenge. Olwe stood still thinking, as he rubbed his jaw with his fingers, and he flashed the scanning look toward me.
"Arghhh.. Fine, I accept your condition, but you can have him just for one night.But... my condition is; if I win, and Haldir refuses you, I get to have you for a year, and I will be your only lover during that time. Do you accept that." He said in the wicked tone as the other two elves behind him laughed and I gave them a cold look, warning them to stop.
"Yes, I do. T'will be my pleasure beating you, oh, and your brothers too if I am not wrong. Please excuse me now, Olwe.I need to find my lost Marchwarden." I turned my form and I left him without giving him chance to reply. I felt bored while talking to him and I didn't want to extend this torture any more. While I passed the statue of my grandfather, who had been lost in the Battle of the Last Alliance, I saw Elladan and Elrohir but something about them changed as they looked at me. They were quite angry and their glances were full of the surprising fury, and I stopped myself on my tracks to investigate their strange behaviors.
"Elladan, Elrohir what is wrong. Are you angry at me. What had I done?" The questions kept pouring out like the rain but they still watched me with those scornful expressions, and I felt uncomfortable for the first time in my life.
"Legolas, it is not our business to pry into your private conversations, but we couldn't help but overhear that display in the gardens earlier. Legolas, the bet? Haldir is not the thing you can wager upon. Now we see what cold elf you really are, and now we know for sure that the rumors spreading about you are really true." They turned their backs on me and they left in a hurry after giving me a quick lecture about the bet they encountered in the gardens. My mouth opened wide in a shock, as I realized that the twins may become major obstacle in my game. (Oh, Valar. They will tell him.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wait you actually did bet on Haldir. Didn't you?" I nodded. "Valar, this story is getting more interesting by minute. I cannot believe that you were an ice cold person back then." Frodo laughed a little and his face grew serious when he saw my expression that was filled with despair.
"Yes, so I was. I changed a little over the years that had passed, but Haldir and the things I had done to him are hunting me forever. I wish that I can erase my past and start over."
"Heh, all of us on Arda wish that about our past but it is not going to happen." Frodo's eyes shifted and he gasped as he saw something behind my back. Curiosity got the best of me and I turned too, and in the process I met the pair of the gray eyes piercing through me. Haldir stood several feet behind me and he kept looking at me with indifferent expression upon his face. His eyes burned me and I hardly resisted a urge to go over there, to get closer to him. Our gazes were locked for about a minute and suddenly he disappeared among the trees leaving the empty space behind him, along with my empty soul.
"I knew it." Hobbit beside me squeaked and I jumped a little, as he pulled me from the depth of my thoughts.
"Huh, what?" I asked confusingly and I was thankful that the night had covered a deep blush on my face.
"He still feels something for you, no matter what happened in the past. Did you see how he looked at you. It was a look of the longing."
"Frodo, you are wrong. It was not a look of the longing. (Or was it I wasn't sure.)
"Legolas, were you blind. Did you not looked at him right now. For someone with the elvish sight you can poorly see the things that are right in front of you."
"Hmmm...maybe my brain stopped working for a minute there. Do you realize that this was the first time he bestowed a glance upon me, since we ventured to Lothlorien. Strange, isn't it."
"No, it is not. You may have not seen it but he did steal couple of glances in your direction while we were traveling. I wondered about that, but I guess now I know why."
"Mister Frodo, there you are. You got me worried sick." Sam emerged from the trees catching his breath while he stopped running.
"Sam, do not worry. I am taking some rest here under the trees and I am conversing with Legolas. I want to spend night here, because this place feels somehow comfortable to me. Could you fetch me couple of the blankets from the campsite, and tell the others where we are. Frodo smiled deeply at his friend and I could see a true concern in the Sam's eyes.
"Sure, Frodo. I will inform the others and I'll get you couple of the blankets. Do you want me to get you something to eat. I noticed that you didn't eat at all today. I'll bring you something from the site."
"No, I am not hungry. Thanks for your concern Sam, but I'll be fine here with Legolas." Sam glanced over to me and he gave me a small smile, before he replied to Frodo and disappeared the same way he came from.
"Legolas, are you going continue with your tale. I want to hear more, about the bet and about you and Haldir."
"Yes, I will. Are you sure you are not tired, little one."
"No, I don't feel like sleeping tonight and I will get some rest eventually while I am here in Lothlorien. But I have to admit something to you; your story mends a Gandalf's loss a little. Now, tell me. What happened next." Frodo urged me to continue and I smiled at the other's visible curiosity. I guess Gandalf was right: Hobbit's really are surprising creatures.
"All right. Well, this is how the story continues.....
TBC.....
