[Okay peoples, last chapter! Waaaaaaah!]
My smiled threatened to pop my jaw off. I was an elf! I started repeating it to myself.
"I'm an elf. I'm an elf! I'M AN ELF!!!" By the time the door opened, I was jumping up and down and didn't even notice that someone had the key to my room. It was Legolas.
"Lizzie, what's the matter?" I stopped jumping and ran to him.
"Legolas, you don't have to become mortal!"
He slowed me down and held my arms. "Lizzie, please listen to me. I want to become mortal because I love you. Not being with you would be worse than dying."
I angrily shook free from his grasp. "NO! You don't understand!"
He took my hands again. "I do understand, mela. The best sacrifices are made for love."
I broke free again and stood a step away from him. "NO! Look!" My hair had fallen down, so I slowly pulled it back to reveal my new ears.
He gasped and reached out to slowly touch them. He ran his fingers over the points and sent shivers up my spine.
"But, how did you-"
I put my fingers on his lips and looked over at the bed. He followed my gaze and saw what I was looking at. The wish box was lying open on the coverlet. He turned back to me with a smile that made my knees go weak.
"You used your precious wish so that I wouldn't have to become mortal?"
I grinned. "Can you think of a better use for-" Before I could finish speaking, he grabbed me in a fiery kiss. Before we could kiss again, a voice interrupted us.
"Shame shame! I know your name!" Heather and Haldir stood in the doorway shaking their fingers at us.
"Eavesdropper," I said to Heather and stuck my tongue out.
She laughed at us. "Come on you two. We have a ceremony to finish." We all left and went back to the ceremony.
Celeborn opened his book. "Well, I'm glad that you could come and join us." We grinned. "Now, the rings."
Rings weren't used at wedding ceremonies in Middle-Earth, but I had insisted on it. Haldir gave Legolas my ring. It was silver with a tiny vine delicately wrapped around the whole ring and the center was a red rose with tiny silver embellishments. I smiled as he slipped it on my finger. My man delivered alright. Heather handed me Legolas's ring. Although not as extravagant, his ring was still beautiful. It was also a silver ring, with the seven duties of an Elvish husband inscribed on the outside. Protect, honor, dedicate, respect, be gentle, show mercy and love with all your heart. With shaking fingers, I slipped it onto his hand. He smiled and covered my hands with his own.
"I now pronounce you elf and wife. You may kiss your bride."
Legolas slowly brought my clasped hands over his head and lifted me up so that my feet couldn't touch the floor. He lifted a finger to stroke my pointy ear before he tenderly kissed me. I grinned against his mouth. I had found my purpose.
The end.
[AWWWWWWWW! It gives me goosebumps. lol The sequel will be put up soon!]
