Nienna woke up a few hours later and she got up. While she got dressed, she looked at Legolas. The Elf was still fast asleep. Nienna signed before a smile lid her face. Gathering her things, she took one of Legolas's twin knives and bound it to her waist, she then tiptoeded out of the room.

When she was out of earshot of the room, she broke into a run and ran straight into the garden. There she sat down on a bench and smiled to herself. "So easily fooled." Her face sobered when she thought of Legolas. 'I am sorry, Legolas. I know we could have a good future together but for your sake it is better if I leave." Nienna said to herself, she knew that she was still evil not matter what they told her. She could not be good when she did not ban the evil out of her heart.

Nienna got up and ready to leave. As long as she was in the presence of the Fellowship, they were in danger. She turned around when a voice behind her said. "Is that what you are going to do to him? Leave in the middle of the night. It will break his heart."

Aragorn was standing behind her. She grinned before she said. "You are wrong, Aragorn. I know he loves me but you cannot see. I fooled you, I fooled him. I fooled everybody, I am no good. I will never be unless I can get this evil out of my heart and I cannot do it around people I love."

"What about Legolas? What about his happiness? You say you are evil but you are not, can't you see that? You might think you are but your actions prove otherwise. You have all this power but the thing is that you don't know how to deal with it because you have no been taught, give yourself a change for a better life and prove to yourself that you are not evil. Everybody else can see it, Nienna, so why can't you? Why can you not give yourself, give Legolas a change for a better life, a life with somebody you love." Aragorn said while closing the distance.

"How can I be good? How can you say that? Have you not been here the past couple of days?" Nienna whispered.

Aragorn smiled and said. "You are wrong there, Nienna. There is no good and evil in the heart but in the action. You have not killed somebody but only played with the idea, we all do that. You have not killed or tried to, alright, maybe you tried but you pleaded for forgiveness. If you were truly evil you would not be here. Now stop fooling around, you have not fooled us but your own heart. Stop this thinking that you are evil when you are clearly not and go back. Go back to Legolas and give yourself a change for happiness. We will be there to help you all the way if you need it."

Those things that Aragorn said were enough to bring Nienna down. Everything she had believed in proved to be a lie once again. She buried her face in her hands and sobbed every single fear and doubt coming out. Aragorn walked over and pulled her into his embrace, letting her sob on his shoulder. He knew that victory was theirs.

After a little while her sobs ceased and Aragorn send her with a soft word back to her room, telling her to crawl into bed and have a long talk with Legolas about her doubts and fears.

When Nienna came to her bedroom door, she stopped. Fear had taken over; fear about what Legolas might say when he found out. She knew she had to go in there and while she took a deep breath, the door was opened and Legolas stepped out, nearly bumping into her.

"Nienna, there you are." He said, his voice barely hiding the relief he felt. When he found her gone when he woke up and one of his knives missing, he got frightened that she would harm herself. "Are you alright, Meleth-nin?"

Nienna shook her head but she did not answer him. Legolas took her hand and brought her back into the room. "What has happened?"

"I wanted to leave but could not do it. Aragorn found me and said that I was not evil and that it was a big lie." Nienna said, tears close at bay.

If Legolas was surprised, he did a very good job at hiding it before he seized her and said. "He is right. You are not evil, if you truly were, you would have killed me. I know it is hard, having people shatter your believes like that. I tried to protect you by sending you away to Rivendell so that you did not have to deal with it but I guess that you need to. Why are you so frightened?"

"I am scared of loving you." She answered while still being in his arms. "I am scared of hurting you and kill you. I do not think I am worthy of you."

Legolas looked at her before he said. 'I am scared too, Nienna. I scared of this feeling you give me. This feeling of the things I can do with you next to me. I am frightened of waking up one day and finding you gone. I do not know what do and what to expect. It is weird, I have seen so many things in my life, I fought many battle and have not been afraid to die but the thing I am most frightened off is when you leave me. You are worthy of me, I am just wondering if I am worthy of you."

"You are Legolas; you are the best thing that could ever happen. I love you, do not doubt it. I will never leave anything that feels so good." Nienna said while clinging to him.

Legolas stroked her hair before pushing her away. Nienna looked at him and asked. "You do not want me?"

Legolas smiled at her expression before he said. "I do, my love but I cannot hold you close when I want to kiss you, now can I?"

Nienna smiled suddenly and leaned into the kiss. They continued to enjoy each other's presence until it was time for breakfast. Legolas took her hand in his and entwined their fingers while caring no matter who saw it.


Hope you liked it. Please review. I know it is fluffy but I wanted it to be. Until next time.
