Revenge Can Be Very Sweet

Chapter 11

Caladrim gulped as Legolas approached her.  She was very nervous.  Legolas was never a good person to mess around with, and he was especially bad when he was jealous. 

And jealous he was. 

Caladrim could tell by the way his eye twitched every few seconds and his cheeks were flushed.  If he were human, it would look like he was having a fever.  But as he was an elf, no one dared comment on it. 

Except Caladrim. 

Some may say that this is very brave. Looking back on it, it was really just stupid. 

But, then again, the entire plan was a little stupid.  So she guessed this was just part of the stupidity of the plan.  O, that made her feel SO much better.  But, she guessed it was Elrond's stupidity really, that got her into this mess. 

So she could blame Elrond!  And that she did....

'Now, really honey, calm down.  MY HANDS ARE TIED BEHIND MY BACK!!!  HOW COULD I LET HIM KISS ME?!?!?!'

This seemed to make no difference to Legolas, as he simply gave her 'the look'.  Now, the part Caladrim hated most about 'the look' was how well and how often, Legolas gave it.  But it seemed like he only did it to her.  Hmm...she should think about this a little when they got home....

After she locked him out of the bedroom for daring to suggest that she would kiss Glorfindel on purpose of course. 

Before Legolas had a chance to say anything, Caladrim did possibly the stupidest thing she had done yet.  'Leggy, honey, you look like a rather ugly human when you get all jealous like that'. 

Time seemed to stand still.  Before, it seemed like maybe Legolas was starting to get over it, but now...he just looked mad.  Very, very mad.  And so Caladrim got very, very scared. 

Legolas' eye was twitching even more.  He seemed to positively shake with anger.  Caladrim closed her eyes and waited for the explosion to happen....until he laughed. 

That's right.  LAUGHED.  What was going on and who had taken her leggy away from her? 

Caladrim just stared.  What the hell….?!?!  What did this mean?  Before, at least she knew what to expect from Legolas.  But now….now she didn't know how to deal with it!!  By the Valar, maybe he was simply acting nice for once…yeah, that's it.  And maybe the dwarves moved above ground.  snorts  Like that's likely to happen. 

God, she made herself laugh. 

And so that's what she did.  She laughed.  She might as well join in with Legolas after all, right?  He was laughing, she'd laugh too!

The moment she started, he stopped. 

Ok, maybe NOT a smart move.  O dear……goodness, she was in trouble this time.  This was worse than when she and her sister Peggy went to visit Elrond without Legolas' 'permission'.  Ha, like she needed that to go anywhere!  She was Caladrim, Princess of Mirkwood, she did not need her husband's permission for anything!

And so she left with Peggy. 

Big mistake. 

The way Legolas came chasing after them, you would have thought he was on fire!!!  Caladrim had never seen an elf run that fast.  Come to think of it, she hoped she didn't again. 

But, back to the present.  Legolas was staring at her like she had grown two heads and started dancing like a dwarf. 

And she danced NOTHING like a dwarf. 

'What happened here?' was all Legolas said.  And so the entire story cam tumbling out.  How Elrond had connived them into doing all of this stuff, and how he was SUCH  mean, bad elf lord and deserved to be punished.  Legolas simply raised an eyebrow. 

But when he heard that Elrond had come up with the plan to be 'kidnapped' by Glorfindel, he did a lot more than raise an eyebrow. 

Legolas jumped up, untied her, put her on his horse, and climbed up after her.  The ride back to the castle, not a word was spoken.  Caladrim wondered how to get herself out of trouble this time. 

The moment they reached home, she went to their bedroom and locked herself in.  Legolas made no move to even TRY to come in.  Instead, near dawn the next morning, he rode off towards Rivendell, in search of a certain Elf Lord…..
