Cyberwing: Well, we finally get to Chapter 4 of my story. I am so happy that you are still interested in it. To tell you the truth, this is the first time for me to write romance. It wasn't as if I hated it, but I found it hard to put the feeling into words lol. If you check my other two stories, they are all action/ adventure.
Sigh, there are so many people going crazy during summer. They are bored out of their minds. Luckily, I am ONE of them (no typo).

Don't Love Me Too Much-ch4
Legolas walked out of his father's den and slammed the door behind him. He groaned in frustration. His father just don't get it. He didn't want to get married, especially not to that freak. He deserved someone better; someone more beautiful; someone who understands; someone who would be with him only when he wants her to; someone who accepts the fact that she would not be the only woman he love; someone who listens to him and would never objects.
That wasn't too much to ask for was it? Even without knowing that GIRL in person, he knew that she was not the one for him. That she, will never be able to keep up with his expectations.
His anger began to rage once again. What did that witch do to make father to get him to keep his decision even when his one and only son objected? Legolas sighed; this is what happens when you're too good-looking. You will have women doing stupid things just to get you, when, you was never been within their grasp in the first place. Bad choice woman, this will only infuriate me into wanting to cancel the engagement even more.
"Legolas!" Elrohir and Elladan greeted him happily when they saw him coming down the empty hallway. They heard that Legolas wasn't in a good mood before, but it seemed as if his mood had gotten even worse. If the servants thought that Legolas looked like the devil himself, they will change their mind if they see him now. Only they would ever dare to approach Legolas in that state. It was either they were extremely stupid or they were extremely suicidal. Since they were the proud sons of Lord Elrond, most people believed that it was…the latter one.
Legolas gave them a death glare.
Ok, not a good sign. Elrohir moved back slowly before he ran in the opposite direction. "I forgot to get something. I'll see you guys during lunch."
Elladan's jaw dropped, TRAITOR. How dare he leave without me! And it should be me to leave first because I'm the older one. Ellandan was about to turn when he heard Legolas said, "Wait, Elladan. I have something that only you can do."
Legolas, despite his anger, gave a sweet smile. Elladan felt a shiver down his spine and he gulped, wondering if he would ever see the sunrise again.
"I need you to research everything about a girl named…" Leoglas had to pause himself to prevent himself from saying 'witch', "Narie and I want her profile on my desk in three minutes."
"…Three minutes?" Elladan exclaimed as he stared at Legolas, "THREE MINUTES! YOU THINK WE'RE COOKING INSTANT NOODLES OR SOMETHING!! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!!" (A/N: I know that it doesn't exist back then, but bear with me.)
Legolas shrugged, "That's your problem. Deal with it! The time is ticking away. You only have 2:50mins left." With that, he turned around and strolled down the hall. Man, it feels great to drag your friends down with you. After all, this is what good friends are for.
The servants began to poke their heads out into the hallway. This time, they saw someone storming down the hallway. The only exception was, this time; it was Elladan storming down the hallway in search of his brother. If he was going to work, Elrohir will not be able to get away with it.
Three minutes later—
"That's it?" Legolas asked when he saw a one inch-thick folder on his table.
"We only had three minutes you know." Elladan said, as he took another bite from his cup of noodles, "and I had wasted a minute trying to find Elrohir."
"Not to mention that we got hungry and had to go down to the kitchen to find food." Elrohir added, not feeling guilty about what he did before as he finished drinking the soup in his noodle cup. "This is a waste of my time, I am out of here. Got a date to catch and I'm already late." He walked out of the room. He didn't even bother taking his junk- his emptied cup out with him.
Elladan shook his head; he couldn't understand why Legolas and Elrohir had to be with women 24/7, or the reason why he and Haldir would even be included in the" Four P's". They had been friends for a long time, and they used to hang out together as much as they could. However, as they grew up, duties called so they didn't see each other as much as before. Due to their looks, women did everything they could to get their attention. As a result, they were named "The Four Princes of the Elven Kingdom'. The reason was because women considered them as their prince charming.
Elladan sighed and slowly got up from the wooden chair; he nodded at Legolas before he exited the room. There was no point in being miserable over things one can't change.
Legolas opened the folder on his desk and saw big heading saying 'wrote by Ellandan and Elrohir and researched by Ellandan and Elrohir. Legolas shook his head and turned to the next page. Narie's personal information appeared right before him, except that her picture was nowhere to be found.
Name: Narie
Surname: N/A
Age: 2010
Sex: Female
Birthday: June 24
Place of Birth: Rivendell
Height: 5ft 7
Colour of Eyes: Green
Interest: Reading, drawing
Ability to fight: None
Interesting points to note:
-She has been known to disappear for months and then suddenly appear again, however, rumor has it that she had locked herself in a library
-She needs glasses in order to see properly, without them, she is unable to see any object farther than five feet in distance
-She wears a golden bracelet carved with an ancient language (A/N: Naughty Lord Elrond, now Legolas know how to recognize her from the rest of the Elf population. You don't really think he'll give the bracelet to Narie only as a lucky charm now would ya? )
Legolas turned over to the next page and the only thing he saw was a hand-drawn face with its tongue sticking out at him. He held up the thick folder and quickly flipped over the pages with his thumb. The rest of the pages drawn with the same face, the only thing changed were its facial expression. It kept on showing how the face changed from a wide smile to having its tongue sticking out. At the last page of the folder, someone wrote 'if you want to know her that badly, go and meet her in person.'
Legolas slammed the folder down onto the desk and ran out of the palace. Standing at the front door, he watched as Ellandan and Elrohir rode through the gate. They turned their horse around and waved at Legolas, who was still standing there. Then they turned around once again and left, ignoring their friend's angry cries for them to 'get their butts back here'.
"Legolas is going to have us killed when he sees us next time,"
"Let Haldir take care of it. He was always better at handling Legolas' monthly mood swings. Haldir doesn't take that crap from him. Now, let us hope that we'll get to Lorien before he catches up with us."
Legolas blinked, still having a hard time believing that his friends had just ditched him. He ran back into his room and stuffed the things he would need for his travel into his backpack. He tied the quiver ,which was filled with arrows, onto his back. Taking his bow with him, he left the room. He went past the kitchen and got some lemas. Then he got onto a horse and chased after Ellandan and Elrohir.
They are going down!
One should know by now to never mess with Legolas…
During his monthly mood swings...
Well this is the end of the chapter. His friends are such good friends, I mean, look at their contributions. They are so resourcefullol. Now the question is, will the suicidal twins be able to escape the wrath from the devil himself? Or will Legolas be able to keep his cool and stop himself from killing the suicidal twins? Also, what's Narie doing at this moment? And who are her friends? Read the next chapter to find out! Now please review so that I'll know what you think about the story. Once again, thanks for reading!
Dunthonwen: I am glad that you like my story!! Thank you so much for reviewing, you have no idea how your reviews motivate me!!
Eveningstar: Thanks a lot of reviewing! I just wanted to explain about the things in Chapter 3. The reason why Narie wasn't hooded during her escape for it was her back-up plan. If, by chance, other elves were awakened by her and saw her hooded, they will think she's an intruder and therefore, will try to capture her. However, if she wasn't hooded, she can joke and explain to them that she wanted to take her horse out for a ride since she wasn't able to sleep (remember, although she hated horses, others love them.) Also, about the gold bracelet thing, Lord Elrond did it on purpose, as you have read from above. At last but not least, about Lord Elrond's hair—(Please read below)
LADY OF THE sqiurrels . . : I can't say how happy I am hear to hear that you like my story. About Lord Elrond's hair bangs my head on the desk, HOW CAN I FORGET!! continue to bang my head on the desk (no worries, I am used to doing this). I am sorry!! TT I corrected it
