A/N: Hey! I know it had been a long time since I had last updated, but
where are all my reviewers?
For those who did review: Thank You!!!
Michelle Moonshine: Thanks so much for reviewing on each chapter!!! It really means a lot to me. I went to your profile and noticed you were interested in Harry Potter. I have a couple Harry Potter stories myself. I just finished my first one and am starting on the sequel. Please check them out some time!
Numen Noctis: Thanks so much for your support!
GoOrlandoItsurbirthday: I know I can remove her reviews, but I actually find them quite funny, seeing that she can't really think of anything new to say but to just come up with evil things to do to herself. Why would she want to hurt herself? Thank you for everything positive you have been saying. Would you tell people about my story? I'll read yours as soon as I can. If you could tell them, that would be a big help!
DramaQueen007: You have to update soon because I leave on Sunday!!

Chapter Seven
"Come in!" she shouted, not bothering to look up. "So, what do you want to do today?" she asked her visitor before looking up.
"Well," said the voice of a male. "I thought we could talk a little about why you didn't come and find me last night."
Fonia looked thoroughly embarrassed, looking up to find Legolas instead of Sylitae. She quickly stood up and curtsied, quietly saying, "Good morning, my lord." Legolas glided across the floor over to her, and taking her hand, helped her out of the curtsy.
"How many times must I ask you to call me Legolas?" he asked her, staring into her big blue eyes and putting a piece of stray black hair behind her ear.
"At least once more, my lord," Fonia replied, looking down at the floor. "Look, if you are wanting to keep our going together to the ball a secret, we can't be seen together. It would look too suspicious to be talking to one girl from Rivendell and none from Lothlorien."
"They all expect me to ask them at the last minute, or make up rumors about who I am taking, because they are all jealous that it is not them. Anyways, we won't have to be seen by anyone else. A palace as old as this is bound to have secret passages that no one knows about," he told her, going over to the bureau and sliding it over a little ways. He then pushed on the wall, and Fonia heard a little click. The wall, as Legolas let off the pressure, swung slowly out into the room. The door wasn't noticeable until she saw it magically come out of the wall. Legolas held out his hand for her to take, and after a slight hesitation, she took his hand and let him lead her into the dim corridor. He slowly closed the secret door after them, letting it latch back into place.
"How did you know this was here?" Fonia asked quietly, holding onto Legolas's hand tighter as they turned a corner.
"I had you put into that room for a reason. There are many secret corridors that are all linked, and only know of a few other rooms besides mine and yours that have entrances, and all the other ones were being used at the moment. I've known of them since I was little," he recalled, turning another corner. "I was angry, and tossed a fairly large book against the wall, and the door just appeared. I explored those paths whenever I wanted to be left alone, and it seemed like I was the only one who knew of them."
Fonia could now see a light ahead, after another turn. Legolas led them into a brilliantly lit room, and let go of her hand. She immediately saw the table set for two. Legolas pulled out a chair for her, and she sat down without fuss.
"What is all this about?" asked Fonia.
"I just thought it would be nice. So, the ball is in two days. Are you excited?" he asked.
"Well, I'm nervous. I've never been to a ball, and I really don't know what to expect." Fonia realized that she was hungry, and quickly ate what was on her plate.
----------
By the time the two were done, they were talking like old friends would. Legolas picked up the plates, and walked over to one of the walls, which she expected led to his room. He opened it and disappeared for a moment, and quickly returned, closing the wall behind him.
"I should get you back to your room. I feel people will begin to call on you soon." He led her back to her own room in silence and kissed her hand. "This is where I leave you. I shall see you in two days. Do you remember how to get to that secret room?" he asked her. Fonia nodded. "Good. Meet me there instead of following everyone else to the ball. The prince and his date enter together. I'll leave that door open." With that, he left Fonia.
A small smile crept up onto her face, and then she happily fell backwards onto her bed.
----------
"I'm just about done," said Arwen as she finished brushing her sister's long, jet-black hair. "There." She smiled and looked at her sister. Fonia's hair glistened and shined like the actual sun was shining on it. Atop her head, showing at her forehead, was a silver circlet much like the one her father wore, only more feminine. "You look so beautiful." Arwen beamed at her sister.
"Thank you."
"I need to go meet Aragorn. Don't be late!" Arwen exited the room, and shortly after, Fonia opened up the secret door and proceeded to the room she and Legolas ate breakfast in two days prior. She made it there in no time, and saw the door Legolas came in and out of open.
"Come in, Fonia!" She heard him shout from inside the room. How he knew she was out there, she had no idea, but she did as she was told. She came into the room to see Legolas without a shirt on. He had very well-defined chest muscles and very strong-looking arms.
"Oh my," she said, turning quickly. Legolas caught her staring, and he shook his head.
"Sorry. Uhh, just a moment." Legolas entered another room, and came back a minute or so later fully clothed, also with a circlet atop his head. Fonia heard a deep intake of breath, and she turned to properly look at him. "Fonia, you look so beautiful."
"Thank you," she replied, pink creeping into her cheeks. They both stood in silence for a while, until Legolas spoke.
"Okay. I think everyone is in the ball room now, so it is time to go." Legolas offered Fonia his arm, and she took it without question.
----------
"Where is she? I told her not to be late." Arwen was fuming.
"She'll be here. Just wait," said Sylitae.
There was a commotion from the entrance of the room, and as everyone looked at the door, they all let out a gasp.
----------
A/N: Well, that's all for now. I hope you all like it. Please review, and I'll update quicker!
