Nienna looked up from her place underneath the tree. She felt strange. A great sadness and fear had settled over her. Yet it was not her own heart that was afraid but somebody else. But who could it be?
"Legolas!" She breathed while sitting up. "But how can this be? I mean we cannot share a bond, how can we?"
Then she remembered. Her mother had told her about it.
Flashback"Come here, my little one." Tarien said. "You wish for me to tell you about the bond that some Elves share. The bond that me and Elrohir, your father share."
"Yes, naneth, please tell me about it and make me forget the pain for a while." Nienna said while cuddling closer to her mother.
"Well, when Elves fall in love sometimes when the Valar meant them for each other, they will bond. It means that there souls will become one. They can sense each other's emotions and can talk to each other through their minds if they are not that far apart. That bond can never be broken. They will always feel that special connection and that warmth of their partner's soul."
"Will I find somebody like that someday, naneth?" Nienna asked.
"Of course, you will. I am sure that you will find somebody that loves you just as much as I love you and your father." Tarien said smiling.
End flashback.
"But how could I not know that he is my soul mate? Nienna said while she sat back down. 'If I know, then he must know too."
Legolas looked up from underneath his hood. They had camped and he was hungry, even if he did not want to admit it, he also missed Nienna, that was another thing, he would never admit to anybody but himself and her. He felt strange; he had noticed it ever since they had left. First he though he was just scared of what was going to happen but now he knew it was something else.
"Estel, a word please." Legolas said into his friend ear. The man looked at him but then stood up to follow him.
"What is it, Legolas?" Aragorn said when they were out of earshot from Gimli.
"I feel strange. I though it was fear but know I know it is something different. Tell me, has Gandalf said anything about us?" Legolas said while turning around.
Aragorn hesitated but then decided to tell the truth. "The evening you brought her back, Gandalf gave you both something. It is a potion that makes it easier for people to tell what is on their mind and to do what they really wanted to do. But what does it have to do with you feeling strange? Did you got sick from it?" Aragorn asked, concern in his voice.
Legolas brought his hand to his head after he realized what had happened. "Ai, Valar, then I did not have to sleep with her. She and I bonded." He then sank to his knees when the full truth of his words hit him.
Aragorn ran to him and said. "What do you mean, Legolas?"
The Elf looked up and answered. "I gave her comfort in the way my people would do so. I never realized that it would mean, that she is the one for me, that we are one, that she could be..." He stopped and his eyes went big.
Aragorn shook his and said. "You are rambling, what can she be?"
"She could be pregnant, but no, I did not want to have a child with her. We never though about it. She is not pregnant, that is good. She is not pregnant, well yet but how could Gandalf do this? How could he meddle in our affairs when we were not even sure about our feeling?"
"Because to him, your feeling were clear even if you cannot see them. Don't worry everything will be fine. But what does this mean for you two?" Aragorn asked, eyeing Legolas.
"It means, my friend, that she belongs to me, what she likes it or not. But that also mean that we were meant for each other. You will not tell anybody about this, will you?" Legolas asked.
Aragorn nodded and then walked back to the camp, thanking himself that he was not an Elf.
Nienna smiled when she felt the warmth return into her heart and into her very soul. Legolas had returned the bond, he was aware of it and he liked it. She suddenly loved him even more. But she knew that he could not read her mind, else he would found out that she was heading for Gondor and not for Rivendell but she would find a way to do that later, right now, sleep was all she needed.
Hope you liked it. Please review and thanks for all the other reviews.
