Chapter 9

The Kiss

~Glorfindel~

Caladrim was positively howling.  With laughter, of course, but still.  Howling.  Glorfindel tried to help her stand up and, eventually, it was accomplished.  Then, he looked up and who does he see?  Legolas.  Her husband.  Positively boiling with rage. 

Antoher oops. 

What is there to do?  Nothing.  How can Glorfindel escape Legolas's wrath?  I mean, no one can.  Why should he? 

But, Glorfindel isn't one to sit around and wait for things to happen on their own.  So he did the only thing he could do in a situation like this.  He grabbed Caladrim, jumped on their horse, and galloped away as fast as possible. 

~Caladrim~

Things never go as planned do they?  She and Lord Elrond had planned everything out perfectly, and this sort of thing never even entered their minds.  Glorfindel might try to escape Legolas. 

It was really, looking back on it, the only plausible thing to do.  What idiot would wait for Legolas to come and, putting it mildly, kill him? 

Is anyone stupid enough to do that? 

I don't think so. 

Maybe. 

But this, this madness? 

Caladrim struggled to move her arms.  She was, at present, tied to a tree in the middle of the forest.  By Glorfindel.  He kept leering at her. 

Ewww. 

Gross. 

Glorfindel, leering?  Not a good combination for anyone.  Especially not a married woman. 

And definitely not a woman married to Legolas Greenleaf. 

But Glrofindel had successfully evaded capture.  Legolas probably had all of Mirkwood looking for them, but they hadn't been found.  And probably wouldn't be.  Mirkwood is, after all, very big. 

"Caladrim?"  a soft voice questioned.  She moved her head to look at Glorfindel.  The disgusting leech. 

"What do you want?  This wasn't part of the plan you know Glorfindel." Caladri scowled at him but all he did was smile. 

"I know it wasn't.  But you know, this wasn't part of the plan either."  And as he said that, he leant down and kissed her softly on the lips. 

And with that, Caladrim did the only thing she could do.  She bit him. 

Hard. 

On the lower lip. 

Maybe not so very practical, but efficient.  Glorfindel leapt up and put a hand on his bleeding lower lip.  When he took it away he saw blood.  Caladrim shivered.  He had a look in his eye that wasn't so very good. 

"Now why, my lady, would you do that to an old friend?" Glorfindel crept closer.  With each step he took, it seemed like the world was getting smaller and smaller. 

"You're not my friend."  Caladrim stated bravely, despite the fact that she was alone, in the woods, with an angry- and possibly insane- elf trying to flirt with her. 

"Oh, I'm not, am I?" Glorfindel smirked. 

Caladrim decided that now would be a good time to distract the elf in front of her and so said "Why did you do this?" 

"Because I love you."  Caladrim began to cough, choke really, and thought 'it's going to be a long, long night if Legolas doesn't find mesoon.'

But luckily, and just in time really, Legolas and a batch of armed guards burst through the trees.  Seven different arrows were pointed in Glorfindel's direction and so Glorfindel did the only thing he could think of. 

Glrofindel grabbed lady Caladrim and kissed her, again, in front of all these elves, before being launched at by Legolas, and eventually dragged away to Mirkwood castle. 

But Caladrim herself was still tied to the tree.  All the elves but Legolas had left the clearing. 

"Um, Legolas?" He turned to glance at her.  "I was wondering if you could untie me?"  Legolas walked towards and put his face right next to hers. 

"I will, when you tell me why you let Glorfindel kiss you like that." 

Caladrim cursed in her head.
