"Nienna, are you coming? We are leaving." Aragorn shouted through the halls.

"Yes, yes, I am coming. Don't explode." Nienna muttered underneath her breath while she made her way over the man.

Aragorn scowled at her before he said. "Why is it that women have to be so slow?"

Bang. Nienna had hit him over the head with her hand before she said. "Watch it, Aragorn."

Aragorn rubbed his head and grinned.

Dream

"Nienna, come on wake up." Somebody was saying in her ear. Nienna opened her eyes to clear them from the sleep. Legolas was standing next to her but before she could say good morning, he had disappeared out of the room.

Nienna felt hurt by his action. Lately he had been keeping his distance from her. She knew he was her friend but she was hoping that he could be a little bit more open to her. He only spoke to her when he had too but sometimes he sought out her presence.

Nienna could not think clearly and wondered that she might have to talk to Eowyn or Aragorn about it. She felt alone, Gandalf had left two days ago all of a sudden and everybody in the castle was busy with trying to leave for Helms Deep. Like she had any idea where that was.

She picked up her clothes and put them back on. She was glad for the dress but still wore leggings underneath. She hated to run in dresses.

Silently she gathered all her things. She looked up when she heard footfall outside of the door and said. "Enter." When they stopped outside the hall.

Aragorn stepped into the room and greeted her cheery. She tried to control a grin when she remembered her dream from last night. She could not picture Aragorn doing that to her.

The man looked up and smiled at her before he helped her pack her things. "Aragorn, can I ask you something?" She asked.

He looked up and nodded, waiting for her to continue.

"It is about Legolas. He is acting very weird around me. I mean, we are becoming friends and when we are with others he won't say a single word to me and when I am alone, he always comes to me. I don't know what to think."

Aragorn was not surprised by the Elf's actions. He knew that if his suspious were true, Legolas was starting to have feeling for Nienna then were beyond friendship. Legolas was trying to keep friendship with her since he would not want to betray his own heart like that or hurt Nienna. Too bad that had already happened.

"I think he just a little bit confused. Give him time, Nienna, he will come around. Legolas never made friends easily." Aragorn said hoping it would satfy her.

Nienna nodded and grabbed her stuff before she walked outside to go to Helms Deep.

Nienna was talking with Eowyn and Aragorn made use of the opportunity to go to Legolas. When he stopped his horse next to the Elf, Legolas gave no movement that he had seen Aragorn stopping next to him, but Aragorn knew better.

"Legolas, I know that you are confused with your feeling for Nienna but you have to make up your mind. You are hurting her in the process." Aragorn said in Elvish.

Legolas moved his head so he was facing Aragorn before he said though Aragorn could detect the layer of panic in his voice. "How do you know?"

"I will tell you some other time. Just figure out your feeling before she will gets even more hurt." Aragorn said before turning his horse around and going back to the group, leaving Legolas to his own thoughts.

That evening when they made camp, Legolas took Nienna away from the rest. Nienna waited until he felt secure enough to speak what he wanted to say.

"I am sorry, if my actions confuse you, Nienna, but it is hard for me to make friends. I don't mean to hurt you. Will you forgive me and give me some time?" Legolas said, hoping she would forgive him.

"Of course" Nienna answered and Legolas smiled in relief before he touched her briefly on the arm and then walked off.

Nienna was confused again. She liked him but how could he be so distand with her. She shrugged and wished that there was somebody she could talk to, then she remembered Aragorn and thanked the world and everybody on it for being friends with him and that he was alive and well. She never knew how soon that would change.

Hope you liked it. Please review.
