The Golden Curtain: Chapter Three.
~~~~
Breaking free of Legolas' lips, Esta let out a long breath. Unable to wait any longer, Legolas began nibbling at her bare neck. A small moan left her throat as she fought to control herself. An image of Tirane flashed across her mind, and she abruptly pulled away.
"I have to go" She said as she made her way to get out of the lake.
Legolas sighed, he knew she was right. Embarrassed at what he had done he didn't stop her, no matter how badly his anatomy wanted to.
"I apologise, I'm sorry" He whispered hanging his head in shame as he tried to stay afloat.
"Don't... don't apologise" Esta smiled as she climbed out of the water.
Legolas smiled too.
"Will I see you again?" He asked as he followed her out.
Esta blushed at his implication. Legolas noticed this and cut in.
"I mean not like this.. I mean will I see you around?" Legolas said feeling the heat rise to his cheeks.
"Probably not" Esta said honestly.
"Oh" Legolas Smiled.
"Shall I escort you home?" Legolas said, feeling it his duty to ask.
"NO, it would cause suspicion..." Esta trailed off looking down.
"Yes, of course. Good evening then...Esta" He said as she raised her eyes to meet his. A smile on her lips, she retuned to 'Queen' mode.
"Good evening to you oh fair prince!" She replied in a melodramatic tone, as she turned to leave.
Legolas only watched as she mounted her beast. Her white dress, thankfully not see through, clinging to her shivering skin. Manilla sped off leaving Legolas alone.
He sighed as he began to walk back into the trees.
What was wrong with him? Why did he act so unlike himself, so unlike his race! He decided it would be best if he forgot it ever happened and that he never met Esta that day at the lake. Little did he know it would take more than that to forget.
~~~~
Almost home, Esta literally punched herself.
"Ugh! How could I be so.. So stupid! How could HE! Just because he's a Prince he thinks he can do what ever he wants!"
Frustrated at herself more then anyone she urged Manilla faster.
The tall tree that was her home came into view. Gulping she had no idea how should would be able to hide what happened from Tirane. She was sure it was written all over her face.
Manillas hooves came to a halt and Esta jumped from her back. Dreading having to face her guardian Esta took her time to walk the stairs.
"One step.. Two step.. Three step.. Four! One step.. Two step.. Three step.. Door! Damn!" Esta groaned like a child as she reached to open the door. Forgetting about the cold, and the fact that she was soaking wet, she held her head high and sauntered in.
A piercing shriek stopped her dead in her tracks.
"Good heavens child! You look like a drowned rat! What happened?" Tirane stood stiff as a pole as she examined Esta's disarrayed frame.
Esta froze. Looking down she tried her best not to blush. Failing miserably she let out a soft sigh. Gathering all her courage she looked Tirane in the eye.
"I went for a swim, like I do every day" walking past Tirane's hawk like gaze she went to he room. Tirane, thinking nothing of it returned to what she was doing.
Stripping out of her soaking dress Esta dried her skin and began to brush the knots from her tresses.
Putting on a lavender coloured dress she fell onto her big white bed. Exhausted, she dozed off, not hearing Tirane telling her to be ready for dinner with Galadriel.
~~~~
Walking into the camp where his men were staying Legolas deleted any remaining thoughts he had of Esta.
"Legolas, there you are, where have you been?" Feanaro asked coming up to the Prince.
"I've been out for a walk; I have missed the serenity of these well-protected woods" Legolas said, using the reply he had practised.
"Oh, did it rain while you were on your walk?" Feanaro asked dumbfounded, while gesturing toward his wet attire.
Legolas chuckled, trying his best to keep what had happened from showing on his face.
"No, I went for a swim"
"Oh, well in any case I suggest you get dressed, we will be dining with the Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn tonight."
With that Feanaro walked off, leaving Legolas alone.
Walking to his flet, he asked a maiden for a bath to be run.
Within minutes he was soaking in a steaming tub. Deciding he better not spend to much time bathing he was out within ten minutes and getting dressed in his finest tunic and boots.
KNOCK KNOCK!
Walking to his door he opened it to find Feanaro, who too was dressed in his finest garments.
"Lets go" Legolas said smiling as he walked out the door following his Elven friend down the stairs.
They walked in silence to the dining hall. Climbing a set of even taller stairs they reached the wooden double doors to the dining hall. Upon entering they found a long table wooden table. Legolas concluded that there were about fifty chairs. The table was set with cuttlery and cups, flowers and candles. At the head of the table were two chairs. One slightly bigger than the other, but each equally special.
Looking around Legolas spotted Haldir and the rest of the Elves from Mirkwood. Smiling both he and Feanaro went to find their seats.
~~~~
Esta awoke from her peaceful slumber to find someone's hair in her face.
Groaning she tried to roll away but was stopped by someone's warm hand on her shoulder.
"What do you want!?" Esta snapped.
Sitting up her eyes came into contact with angry brown orbs.
"Esta for Heavens sake! I told you to be ready for dinner with Galadriel!" Tirane started turning red from rage.
"What? When did you tell me this? You never said anything about dinner!" Esta tried to defend herself, all the while being completely at a lost as to what Tirane was going on about.
Sighing Tirane got up.
"It doesn't matter now. Just get up and brush your hair, that dress will have to do"
Leaving the room Tirane went to wait by the door.
Jumping out of bed Esta rushed around trying to get ready. Changing her dress to an Earthy green one she checked herself in the mirror and scowled. Her blue pendant clashed with her green and gold dress. Sighing she knew it would have to remain. Tirane had told her she wasn't allowed to take off the pendant, for reasons she would explain. Esta had a lot of respect for her guardian so she complied with the few rules she set for her.
Patting her hair she walked out of her room as if she were ruler of the world.
Tiranes eyes bulged as Esta walked wearing a different dress. She kept her thoughts to herself and so they left.
"Thanks to you we're late!" Tirane hissed as they reached the double doors to the dining hall.
"Don't worry, I'm sure Celeborn won't mind" She smiled as the doors we're opened for them.
Tirane only let out a snort. Walking in Esta stopped dead in her tracks. Everyone at the table had looked up when they heard the doors open.
Legolas saw Esta walk in as if she owned the place. Nearly chocking he looked down and continued to eat his food. He didn't dare look back up.
Haldir stood up and walked over to great the pair.
"Madame." He said as he greeted Tirane.
"Milday" he said taking Esta's hand and kissing it.
Esta gave him a disgusted look as he chuckled.
"Come let me introduce you two to an old friend of mine" Haldir smiled as he dragged them toward his seat. Esta knew what was coming next, and resisting would only cause suspicion.
Looking up, Legolas wished he hadn't.
"Legolas I want to introduce you to these fine young specimens" Haldir winked at Tirane. Legolas stood up out of respect.
Tirane only giggled and hit Haldir on the arm.
"Bloody flirt" As soon as the words left Esta's mouth she regretted them.
"Esta! Apologise for your language" Tirane looked embarrassed.
"Sorry" Esta mumbled finally looking up to meet Legolas's eyes.
To her surprise he was smiling.
"It's fine, really" He said the last part to Tirane. Haldir laughed as he introduced Esta and Tirane to the Prince of Mirkwood. The whole time Esta kept her head up but never looked him in the eye.
Tirane and Esta sat down next to Haldir who was next to Legolas.
Esta silently thanked God.
Their food was bought out and after time people began to leave. Tirane and Haldir were deep in conversation when Legolas arose and decleared that he was going to bed. Thanking his hosts he departed, avoiding having to look in Esta's direction. Almost five minutes later, Esta had had enough of Haldir and Tiranes sappy conversation so she too stood to leave. Thanking Celeborn and Galadriel she walked out of the dining hall.
Sighing she decided she would never get to sleep so instead she went for a walk.
She ended up at the trainning grounds. Looking around she noticed a figure at the end of the row and out of curiosity began to walk toward them. She couldn't see who it was, for she didn't have her mothers elven eye s until it was too late.
"Come to spy on me again?" Legolas asked while he released an arrow into the target.
"Ahem, no, I didn't know anyone was here" Esta laughed, but keeping her gaze down.
Once again Legolas released an arrow, and again it hit the target.
"How do you do that?" Esta asked, walking closer while pointing to the bow.
"What? This?" Legolas smirked as he released two arrows into the target.
"Show off" Esta scoffed.
"Think you can do better?" Legolas challenged.
"Actually no. I was never trained to use a bow" She quirked an eyebrow.
Legolas stopped firing arrows and stood to face her.
"What were you trained in?"
Esta laughed
"The usual, sewing, cooking all the things a woman is supposed to know, of course I'm not any good at them, but I can play the piano" Esta laughed. Legolas couldn't help but smile as her laughter ignited a thirst in him. In an attempt to stop his train of thought he cleared his throat.
"What's a piano?" He asked, his facial features set in a confused expression.
Esta suddenly remembered that piano's didn't exist in Middle Earth.
"Well, umm, it's an instrument"
"Oh I see, could you play for me?" He asked alittle unsure of what she'd say.
"Of course . . . your highness" she bowed sudden feelings of jealousy rearing in her gut. She turned to walk into the woods.
"This way" she called back. Legolas ran to catch up with her, walking by her side he replied;
"Please call me Legolas" smiling he looked at her.
"Okay" Esta said, alittle confused as to why he'd neglect his title. As far as she was concerned she'd love to be called Queen or even Princess.
Walking deeper into the woods, they walked in silence. Legolas trying to ease the tension asked;
"So, where are we going?"
"Don't worry, we're nearly there" as she spoke a little shack came into view. Complete with a small window and a big door, it looked like something a dwarf would live in. Walking toward the door Esta began;
"When I was younger Tirane had tried to teach me to play, but I was so terrible she couldn't take it anymore, she asked me to stop. I didn't want to stop playing so she went to Celeborn and asked for a room to be built where I could play without disturbing anyone. I'm good now though" Esta laughed.
"That's good to hear" Legolas laughed as they walked into the musty room. The room was not as dirty as he had expected it to be. In fact it was clean and tidy. A small bed in one corner. A table and chair in the other and up against the wall was a big black thing, he guessed it was the piano.
"Come" Esta instructed as she sat down on the small seat infront of the piano.
Legolas followed suit and sat next to her. Lifting the lid she placed her fingers above the keys. Slowly she began to play. Soon the tempo sped up and she moved onto a faster piece. Stopping she turned to face Legolas.
"I have never heard such a sound" He laughed.
"Thats because it doesn't exist here" Esta sighed. Legolas looked confused.
"What I mean is, it isn't from Middle Earth" still he looked confused. Sighing she decided she was going to have to explain the whole story from the beginning.
"You see my ears?" Legolas looked at them and realised they weren't pointed. He frowned in confusion, but nodded his head.
"My mother was an Elf from here, my father was of Syerien blood." That still didn't explain the piano but he nodded in understanding.
"I was born in a world called Sicilee. The day I was born Tirane bought me here. The piano was something precious to her, but they didn't have them here so she made one" she shrugged.
"It's a beautiful instrument; you play well" Legolas smiled, still trying to contemplate what she had said.
"Thanks"
"Where is this Sicilee? I have never heard of it" Legolas asked.
"Oh boy, well it's another world. Like another realm. There is only one way to get to it, but I don't know, I wasn't told.
"Oh, do you know what it's like there?" Legolas wanted to know more of this 'Sicilee'.
"Well, it's different to Middle Earth. There is only one race of people, Syerien's. And umm, they worship Jesus Christ and God, not the Valar. They believe in these places called Heaven and Hell. Both VERY different places. I guess they look like men, although I've only seen one man before" Esta trailed off.
"I have never known of another world out there" he said while deep in thought.
"Well you wouldn't, It's a secret, I believe only myself, Tirane, Galadriel and Celeborn and some man named Elrond know of it" She said.
"So why did you tell me if it's meant to be a secret?" He asked puzzled.
"Because you asked. No one ever asks, so the secret is never told" Esta laughed.
Legolas laughed to. Again that burning in his gut ignited. Gulping he turned away in an attempt to hide his arousal. Esta noticed this.
"Is something wrong?" She asked quizzically.
"No" He said turning back to face her. He just hoped she wouldn't notice.
"So, well you know about me, what about you?" Esta asked looking at his clear eyes.
Legolas gulped. Everytime she smiled he grew harder.
"Hello?" She waved a hand in front of his face. His need for a woman over took his responsible nature.
"Shh" He demanded as he connected his lips with hers. Losing all inhibitions Esta gave into his probing tongue and opened her lips, allolwing herself to kiss him back. A soft moan escape her lips. That was the final straw, he would have her. Picking her up he carried her to the bed in the corner. Setting her down he knew he wasn't in love, he was in lust.
(No lemon lol. Can't do 'em)

A/N: I hope that explains a bit about Esta's 'colourful' language lol. My main aim here is to give Legomance fans what they want, so tell me what you want. Oh and hang in I have a surprise for you . Let's see if this story is predictable lol. I'm writing this at 12.00am BTW just thought you might like to know. And I'm not to worried about where I put my commas at this moment, I kinda want to focus on plot, I have some chapters plotted out, but I'm still deciding whether Esta's heritage will play a part. Oh and YES Galadriel and Celeborn are still here, for the sake of this fic :D
REVIEWS:
Ithilidiel: 4# Names: Manilla is not elvish, neither is Esta or Tirane. Romir....im going to change that, I was just using an old name I remembered from somewhere. Thanks for that =)
5# I use Microsoft word for spell check. Then i upload it in notepad because ff.net doesn't allow word processor. That makes it hard to do thoughts, no italics you see?
10# I get you totally! I was being selfish. When I read fanfics I really hate having everything together, do you get me? So yeah...I kinda went mad with the spacing lol. I'll stop it now lol.
11# Thank you! My English teacher sucks at her job so your helping me heaps.
12# The yellow moon lol, okay, that moon is NOT in Middle Earth and I see lots of yellow moons where I live lol...either that or I'm, colour blind! lol.
16# 17# 18# Blame the commas on spell check! Mwahahaha. And the grey eyes belong to Esta(or the little bundle), it's said in the beginning of chapter 1 :D.
I started this idea last year, but forgot about it. The other day I was going through my folder and found it. I've change practically everything, it was originally going to take place during the war of the ring.
Soccer-Bitch- Nice name(I like soccer, not to good at it though) lol. But thank you, the short and positive reviews are always my favourite ;)
Siaw: lol I hope that explains why Esta would use 'Hell' lol She gets it from Tirane. Legolas is out of character ain't he?? lol. And he fell off the horse LOL. He is not so perfect as you would like to think lol. I've had a big convo about this and Legolas stumbles at the beginning of TTT lol.
Also, so you can't be half elf?? Wow! I've never heard anything about that, that's interesting, why? What does that make Arwen and Aragorn' Child? Elf or man? In either case Esta is half elf and half Syerien lol.
THANK YOU!
OBfiles Reviewers:
Thanks for nothing girls and guys! lol jokes.

Breaking free of Legolas' lips, Esta let out a long breath. Unable to wait any longer, Legolas began nibbling at her bare neck. A small moan left her throat as she fought to control herself. An image of Tirane flashed across her mind, and she abruptly pulled away.
"I have to go" She said as she made her way to get out of the lake.
Legolas sighed, he knew she was right. Embarrassed at what he had done he didn't stop her, no matter how badly his anatomy wanted to.
"I apologise, I'm sorry" He whispered hanging his head in shame as he tried to stay afloat.
"Don't... don't apologise" Esta smiled as she climbed out of the water.
Legolas smiled too.
"Will I see you again?" He asked as he followed her out.
Esta blushed at his implication. Legolas noticed this and cut in.
"I mean not like this.. I mean will I see you around?" Legolas said feeling the heat rise to his cheeks.
"Probably not" Esta said honestly.
"Oh" Legolas Smiled.
"Shall I escort you home?" Legolas said, feeling it his duty to ask.
"NO, it would cause suspicion..." Esta trailed off looking down.
"Yes, of course. Good evening then...Esta" He said as she raised her eyes to meet his. A smile on her lips, she retuned to 'Queen' mode.

A piercing shriek stopped her dead in her tracks.
"Good heavens child! You look like a drowned rat! What happened?" Tirane stood stiff as a pole as she examined Esta's disarrayed frame.
Esta froze. Looking down she tried her best not to blush. Failing miserably she let out a soft sigh. Gathering all her courage she looked Tirane in the eye.
"I went for a swim, like I do every day" walking past Tirane's hawk like gaze she went to he room. Tirane, thinking nothing of it returned to what she was doing.

Walking into the camp where his men were staying Legolas deleted any remaining thoughts he had of Esta.
"Legolas, there you are, where have you been?" Feanaro asked coming up to the Prince.
"I've been out for a walk; I have missed the serenity of these well-protected woods" Legolas said, using the reply he had practised.
"Oh, did it rain while you were on your walk?" Feanaro asked dumbfounded, while gesturing toward his wet attire.
Legolas chuckled, trying his best to keep what had happened from showing on his face.

"Come to spy on me again?" Legolas asked while he released an arrow into the target.

"Don't worry, we're nearly there" as she spoke a little shack came into view. Complete with a small window and a big door, it looked like something a dwarf would live in. Walking toward the door Esta began;

Let's see if this story is predictable lol. I'm writing this at 12.00am BTW just thought you might like to know. And I'm not to worried about where I put my commas at this moment, I kinda want to focus on plot, I have some chapters plotted out, but I'm still deciding whether Esta's heritage will play a part. Oh and YES Galadriel and Celeborn are still here, for the sake of this fic :D
REVIEWS:
Ithilidiel: 4# Names: Manilla is not elvish, neither is Esta or Tirane. Romir....im going to change that, I was just using an old name I remembered from somewhere. Thanks for that =)
5# I use Microsoft word for spell check. Then i upload it in notepad because ff.net doesn't allow word processor. That makes it hard to do thoughts, no italics you see?
10# I get you totally! I was being selfish. When I read fanfics I really hate having everything together, do you get me? So yeah...I kinda went mad with the spacing lol. I'll stop it now lol.
11# Thank you! My English teacher sucks at her job so your helping me heaps.
12# The yellow moon lol, okay, that moon is NOT in Middle Earth and I see lots of yellow moons where I live lol...either that or I'm, colour blind! lol.
16# 17# 18# Blame the commas on spell check! Mwahahaha. And the grey eyes belong to Esta(or the little bundle), it's said in the beginning of chapter 1 :D.
I started this idea last year, but forgot about it. The other day I was going through my folder and found it. I've change practically everything, it was originally going to take place during the war of the ring.
Soccer-Bitch- Nice name(I like soccer, not to good at it though) lol. But thank you, the short and positive reviews are always my favourite ;)
Siaw: lol I hope that explains why Esta would use 'Hell' lol She gets it from Tirane. Legolas is out of character ain't he?? lol. And he fell off the horse LOL. He is not so perfect as you would like to think lol. I've had a big convo about this and Legolas stumbles at the beginning of TTT lol.
Also, so you can't be half elf?? Wow! I've never heard anything about that, that's interesting, why? What does that make Arwen and Aragorn' Child? Elf or man? In either case Esta is half elf and half Syerien lol.
THANK YOU!
