Chapter 7
Legolas found himself at the lake where he walked with Vanima on their first date. His heart was broken, he really loved Vanima. Now it was over, he was sure of that. She didn't love him and was just using him. Aragorn had been right.
He put his head in his hands and began to cry. Why couldn't he find someone? He's a prince, what girl wouldn't want to be with him? Legolas asked himself these questions. All his friends were happily married, some with babies. He wanted a family, one to call his own. He lay back on the bench by the lake and looked at the stars.
"Legolas is that you?" a voice said from behind.
Legolas sat up and turned around.
"Narie? Is that you?" Legolas said noticing his childhood friend.
"Yes it's me," Narie said walking over to him. "I was just leaving from visiting a friend. What are you doing here in Gondor?"
"Visiting a friend too," Legolas responded.
"That's right, you're staying with Aragorn. I read the paper, congratulations on the engagement," Narie said not knowing what had happened.
Legolas didn't answer her, he just looked down.
"Did I say something wrong?" Narie asked concerned.
"No, it's not your fault. You didn't know, the engagement is off," Legolas responded.
"Oh Legolas, I'm sorry," Narie said sitting next to him.
"Thanks. But I think it's for the best. She hurt me once before you know," Legolas said.
"And you don't deserve to be treated like that," Narie said.
"Thanks," Legolas smiled a little. "So how have you been," Legolas asked.
"Oh great. I just moved back to Mirkwood," Narie said.
"You did, that's great. I left to come here because I couldn't stand being in Mirkwood anymore," Legolas explained.
"But why Legolas? What about your friends?" Narie asked.
"What about them? They have their own lives, all of them are with families of their own," Legolas explained.
"Not all of them," Narie said smiling.
"What do you mean?" Legolas asked.
"Nothing Legolas, never mind," Narie said standing up.
"No Narie, what did you mean by that?" Legolas asked.
"Just forget it. You'll never get it!" Narie said.
"Never get what?" Legolas said confused.
"This!" Narie said pulling him close and kissing him.
Legolas just looked at her, not saying a word.
"I knew you wouldn't get it," Narie said walking away.
