Actually chapter five

There was magic in the air. Sawen had never felt so alive and real before. She had spent her life behind a shadow in the dark, looking upon others happiness dreaming about her own, when now, finally Legolas brought her back into the light. She was head over heals for him. Though she wasn't sure if he was the "one", she held herself to him.

She turned aside trying to catch her breath while looking at him; he still had his arms wrapped around her, never wanting to let go. She took his hands off her and turned to the door, Legolas thought as if that was it, and there was nothing more. She opened the door almost walking in, but then she thought, 'I know he likes me, and I love him, so.." she snapped out of her thought. "Legolas" she called to him as he was turning around walking away confused yet grinning. This was what he liked so much about her, she was different and mysterious and she had the most exquisite eyes that gave a glimmer now and then.

"Umm, would you mind.. eh I mean could stay with me for a while in my room? I mean because.." she was messed up in her words and spoke nervously. " I umm, its all dark in the room and I get scared of being alone. Could you stay with me for a while?" she gave him the most sweet and cute look he had ever seen, she didn't look at him directly even though his eyes were fixed on her face. He eyes widened as if he were asking her something Have my ears deceived me, or did she ask for me to stay with her, "Yes. Of course, I would be happy to" he said immediately incase she changed her mind. She had one hand on her other elbow as is she were feeling cold and she looked back towards his face, her eyes were gave a glitter shine at him, Legolas felt like he was under some spell and he followed her as she opened the door into the room. She felt a cold chill fill her body. The window was left open and the wind came rushing in. She rubbed her arms gently and she saw Legolas walking over to the windows shutting them in.

The room was very dark indeed, except for the moonlight that shone into the room.

"I think I'm going to change into some sleeping clothes" she said already feeling tired. She walked over to the cupboard and found some spare clothes put there for her. She took a white sleeping gown and went behind the change boards to undress. Legolas walked to around the room, waiting for her to finish.

She stepped out from behind the change boards and stood in front of Legolas trying to iron out the creases in her dress, she had the most perfect shaped body and smooth delicate skin, deep in her eyes there were splashes of gold and brown that showed in the moonlight. She was perfect. Legolas walked over to her but she was to busy fixing her dress to notice, when he rubbed his hand softly on the side of her face and neck as she looked up. She glared at him in such an innocent way, he felt the erge to kiss her again, and hold her, but he resisted. He thought that would be using force against her and that would be pushing her further away. She looks so gorgeous even in her nightgown, I wish I could just hold you now and kiss you.

"I'm sorry, if you need to be somewhere you can leave, I'll be ok here" she said as she stepped into her bed pulling the blankets up to her waist. She sat in her bed looking at him constantly blushing and looking away at the same time.

"No, no I don't want to be anywhere else but here. I'll stay here for as long as you want, you won't be alone. I'm here."

She was thinking to herself I hope he's not like other guys and only wants girls in bed. I can't risk wasting anytime with someone who doesn't care. Though she thought this, her heart already had his name on it. She gave a small smile, and yawned stretching her arms out. Legolas grabbed a chair and sat beside her. The longer it took for her to say anything the harder it was for him to resist her.

"What do you wish in life?" she asked him

"I wish to be free from my father's will and be who I want to be." He smiled moving a slight bit closer towards her. "And you?"

"My wish has already come true. I'm here." Her face showed joy and her smile, but inside her she was worried. She knew what would happen to her, and as more time went by the more worried she grew. He felt this, he felt she was hiding something deep inside that haunted her.

"But there is more, I know there is, if you would only tell me I will help you."

"Please do not ask me, as much as I want to tell you I cannot." If she had told him then the deal would be lost and she would die. He had to figure it out and tell her he loves her soon.

"I won't ask you anymore, but I wish..." he was cut off as Sawen leaned over and kissed him softly on his lips. He kissed her back holding onto her lips. That was the second time he received an unexpected kiss from her. His heart grew anxious for more and he sat on the side of the bed still kissing her. She didn't hesitate or pull back this time, she let it come. She too couldn't resist him, they seemed perfect to each other. When she finally stopped she moved aside letting Legolas sit beside her on the bed. She didn't want anything to happen yet, she just wanted to sit beside him.

"Legolas? Can you do me a favour?"

"Anything."

"Can you take me away, anywhere. I want to travel and see this whole Middle Earth."

"Of course. We have plenty of time to plan where we can go." He looked outside the window, he also felt the need to leave for a while.

"No, we don't have to plan anything, let's go tomorrow as soon as we can. We shouldn't waste anytime. There's so much I want to see, The Shire, Rivendell, Minas Tirith everywhere" Sawen was getting herself all excited.

"You know of all these places? How?" "I've read about them in books and it's confusing to explain."

"It's great to see that you know so much, I promise I'll show you everywhere, anything you want." He said with an assuring voice as he held her hands.

"I want to meet everyone from the fellowship and learn about everything before its too la......never mind." She came so close to exposing her reason but she stopped in time. "What is it?" Legolas grew concerned, he knew what she was about to say. "Nothing, never mind." She leaned her head on his chest and fell asleep. Legolas held her in his arms and stroked her sweet fresh scenting hair and he grew tired and eventually fell asleep.

Even while sleeping, Sawen could feel his presence next to her. For the first time, she felt warm and comfortable in someone's arms, she felt safe knowing he was there to protect her. She never wanted that to change.

It wasn't such a pleasant sleep for her though

In her dream

She and Legolas were sitting in a beautiful garden having a picnic. They sat beside each other and Legolas was just about to say those words. "Sawen, ever since I met you I've wanted more of you. I've grew closer and closer to you day by day and I now I know how I feel, Sawen I lov...." All of a sudden loud wind blew across their faces, cutting of Legolas' words. Strange figures in shadows moved towards her grabbing her and taking her through a dark portal, the scene around her changed. It grew gray and wind blew everywhere ( like when Frodo wore the ring on Weathertop ). She couldn't see Legolas anymore, " Legolas!, HELP. Where are you!" she screamed trying to push away from the shadows but she couldn't, and at that time a familiar voice laughed and said "Your time is up!!" Sawen listened in fear, her 30 days were up and this was how she was being taken away. "NO! You can't take me away!".

Back to normal

It was morning, Legolas was just awake when he noticed Sawen struggling in her sleep, and she grew restless, turning her head and her hands grabbing hold tightly of the blankets. "Sawen!, Sawen wake up." Legolas tried getting through to her but she seemed taken over by the dream. She was saying something under her breath that Legolas couldn't make out, "No, no, you can't take me away, I love him, NO!" Legolas touched her forehead, it was burning up. "Sawen!" he grew worried and tried shaking her awake.

Sawen could hear his voice in her dream "Sawen!" She spoke softly and restlessly " Legolas... Legolas!" she called out the last one, and suddenly awoke sitting up breathing heavily. She looked around and she was in her room, "It was just a dream, just a dream." She spotted Legolas beside her and threw her arms around him holding him close to her. "Promise me you'll never leave me, ever" she almost wanted to cry but didn't. "I promise." She felt a slight bit relieved. "Sawen your heating up, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I cannot delay this trip, I'll be okay."
