"Can't we go faster?" a girl whined as yet another tree, added to the thousands previous trees, as she and a blond elf trotted thought the forest.
"No," he said as he led the way through the thick trees with his horse.
"Fine," She huffed as they continued. The mid-afternoon sun rained through the tops of the trees shinny what little sun onto the ground before them. Arethen's long hair was blowing in the wind that passed through the trees billowing behind her.
"You know that we should be out of this forest soon, and then we can find some berries and fruit to eat." Legolas stated as he pointed to where he was headed.
"Alright, but can I ask you about my father?" She questioned as she galloped a little to catch up for him. He nodded his head but never turn to look back to look at her. He had liked her from the moment he laid eyes on her at Edoras. He knew that he could not have her anyways, she was Aragorn's daughter.
"My father always told me stories of the war, but never told me of the fights such as Helm's Deep why? I know it sounds stupid that I am asking this but was it really that bad?" She asked just as she finished her question they walked out of the forest and into a plain. She was never the one for great direction, which was Arangeo thing.
"Your father should be the one to tell you, but what he went thought was more than anyone could ever say in words, only he could describe it. What I saw was nothing compared to what he saw. Although he had more riding on him than anyone will ever have. He was king after all, he had to save his people, when it came to helping Gondor in one of the battles, and he became very defensive. He was afraid that he was going to be the end of the word for what your great-great-great-great (A.N. you get the Picture) grandfather did because he did not destroy the ring when he had the chance." He explained as he dismounted his horse and began to look around for food.
Arethen began to digest the information she had gotten from the elf. She finally understood why her father never wanted to talk about his past family. She sighed as she looked down at Legolas as he dismounted, "Cute butt," she thought with a sly smile. When she saw him at in the hall, she could not take her eyes off of him; she was drawn to him for some unknown reason. Those eyes, those sky blue eyes that were beautiful took her breath away when ever she looked into them in fact everything about him was breath taking. She let out a small sigh again, because she knew she could never have him. He would think her feelings were stupid, but oh how she wished.
"Legolas, do you think you can stay here and collect the food, I just want to run. Regotho wants to run." She pleaded looking into those eyes.
Legolas could only nodded, she seem to control him when she looked at him everything was prefect about her. Her hair, those eyes, her soft, not that he had felt it just wish to touch it, face. She smiled down at him, oh how he wish he could see her smile every waking second of the day, and then shot off. She was right her horse was born to run, it look as if she and her horse had grown as one, and before he saw her disappear from his sight she was hunched over in the saddle.
He went off to find food for about 20 minutes he search and search looking for berries, nuts anything. He finally hit the jackpot when he came across a huge bush full of raspberries and next to him he found and apple tree. "Prefect," he thought as he gather up as much as he could hold, but he made a couple of trips, he gather tons of apples for the horses and Arethen and him, along with a couple of handfuls of raspberries.
An hour had passed before Arethen returned but she had a bag full of something that Legolas could not see, "I was lucky enough to find some nuts, just encase we need extra food later, because it look like you have found food." She stated as she smiled and dismounted her horse and tied him to a tree to try and give him a couple of apples which he ate with out hesitation.
For a good 30 minutes they sat round looking at the scenery around them, never speaking to one another until, "Are you a mortal like your father, or immortal like your mother?" Legolas asked shyly.
"I have my mother's blood in me mainly, while my brothers have my fathers. I am the 'Immortal Daughter of the Great King of Gondor.' I take mostly after my mother anyways. I have her eyes, I say I take after my father's hair, but people say that it is my mother, I have my mothers face. Though for spirit, and heart it is my father, adventure is what I love about life and the world, you can live in one place your whole life and never get out and you can still have adventure, not good ones but still. But you go out and meet the world, oh it is a fabulous experience, I mean I have been out here two days and I love it, I can see why my father is always wondering for days on end. You can get so caught up out here you don't know what day is which." She smiled going off into a wonderful one sided conversation with herself, "Sorry I talk a little too much," she laughed.
To Legolas her laugh was wonderful; it was like angels were singing just for him, how he wanted to make her laugh more and more. "It is fine; Gimli does not talk much and when he does it is mainly about swords, I have swords, I use them, I know what they do and what they are capable of. I don't want to talk about them every waking second of the day. As for Eowyn and Faramir they stay with their son most of the time, and Eomer, you did not meet him, he is usually out patrolling the lands around Edoras. So I don't think you talk too much, plus your voice is beautiful." He said watching her cheeks heat up and turn a light shade of pink, which made her look even more beautiful. 'You know what? I don't care what Aragorn thinks, I like this girl!' he thought to himself as he watched her more. "So how long will it take to get to Rivendell from here?" She asked trying to hide her blush from him by looking up at the sun.
"Well my pace, we will be there in a good 4 days time, but tonight we may not be in the city in time so we may have to sleep on the ground, if that is okay with you?" He questioned.
She burst out into fits of laughter as if someone was tickling her, she laughed for a good 5 minutes before she caught her breath and said, "You think that just because I am a princess I don't want to sleep on the ground?," More laughter, "Well Lord Legolas, if I am correct at what I heard from my father, you are Prince of Mirkwood. So do you have a problem sleeping on the ground?" She laughed some more before she could finish it.
He joined her in laugh, he did not know why, but her laugh just wanted to make him join in with her. They laugh for a long time, no one knows how long. Soon after they caught their breath they got on the horses and trotted to the next point.
Hours past but to help with the passing they talked about how they grew up, what Eowyn and Faramir where like, along with Gimli. They also spoke of the Fellowship, and he told her many other stories that her father did not tell her. They rode next to each other as they walked out on the open plains.
The sun began to set as they found a place to camp for the night, the gather wood and built a fire that Legolas help start, found more food, and laid out their blankets around the fire and talked some more. They were begging to trust each other and like each other even more.
The sun went down and so did Arethen's eyes, she fell asleep as soon as she was covered with her blankets. Legolas looked upon her thinking she was an angel, he layed down next to her watching his perious angel before he to fell asleep. Both were happily dream of the other to notice a small grunt from behind a rock.

Okay. Eoyalf, thank you for helping point out a few things. I will say it now I have not read the book BUT I am getting help from my friend who has, I love the movies so, But Eowyn is queen because of what her uncle said that she could rein if he die from the movie. Eoyalf said that AragoRn had daughters and only one son, well I change that too. And she sound a little Snobbish when she ran out of the city because she wanted to get out and explore. The 'Pinky Promise' shows that AragoRn has his little girl always, and they did that when they grew up, that will be explained later in the story so that is covered. Okay Also Faramir, well in the last movie Return of the King, Faramir and Eowyn are standing next to each other and I though they made a cute couple so My fanfiction my rules! ...insert evil laugh...
Also I have to leave home for a week go visit family so I wont be able to update for a week, if I can lucky I may have chapter 4 before I go but let hope, I leave Sunday so I don't know. But then I will update as soon as possible after that! Okay? Okay.
