Chapter 69: Confessions
"Legolas, we have been running for ages! Tell me where you are leading me!" Amaris exclaimed. Legolas laughed and stopped. Amaris stopped next to him and met his eyes as they shined brightly in the moonlight.
"We have not been running for ages, you are just impatient," Legolas said with a smile. Amaris gave him a fake hurt look but it soon melted into a smile. "We are nearly there." He paused and the next thing she knew Amaris was up in Legolas' arms and he was running once again. She wrapped her arms around him tight and Legolas laughed. Legolas stopped before they reached a clearing and smiled as he looked at her. "We are here." He sat her down and took her hand. "Come, Amaris." Amaris laced her fingers through his and smiled at him as he led her into the clearing. Amaris' breath was taken away at the sight before her. It was the clearing from her vision. The same wooden log sat not far from the creek and the beautiful waterfall tumbled smoothly. Legolas watched as a smile spread across her face and she slowly let go of his hand and stepped further into the clearing. His eyes never left her form as she walked towards the creek and stopped about seven feet from the water. Amaris turned quickly and looked at him with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes. Amaris held out her hands to him and he quickly made his way to her. He drew her close by wrapping his left arm around her waist and he wiped away a tear that had escaped her eye with his right hand. "Amaris, why do you weep?" Amaris smiled at him and leaned into this touch on her cheek.
"I never told you something Legolas. I never thought it would come true and when it began to, I couldn't get myself to believe it to be fully true but now I see that it is." Legolas furrowed his brow at her words.
"What do you mean?" Amaris' smile grew as she looked up at him.
"When I was changing, Legolas, I had a vision. I vision that I assumed was a dream." She paused as she took his hands and led him over to the log and sat down. Legolas sat close to her and laced his fingers with hers. She looked up at him and smiled. "I had a vision that I was sitting on the grass next to that very creek looking at that very waterfall. I was wearing a light blue gown and just staring into the water. When suddenly you appeared and smiled when you saw me. You had been looking for me and when you found me you called out to someone telling them you found me."
"Who did I call out to that I would want to know that I found you?" Amaris smiled at his puzzled expression.
"You told me before you called out that Elros had been looking all over for me and then you called out 'Come on out Elros. I found her!' and out of the woods came a small elfling that looked about the mortal age of six carrying a small bow and a quiver strapped to his back." Legolas' eyes grew wide and Amaris smiled when his grip on her hand tightened slightly. "He ran to me and called me 'mama', Legolas. He was our son and his hair was the color of yours but he had my eyes." Legolas stood and pulled her with him. He held her body close to him and Amaris looked up at him questioning him slightly but she felt joy radiating from him even though his face was neutral. "Legolas please say something." Legolas smiled and picked her up from the ground spinning her causing her skirts to fly around her body. She laughed and held onto him tight. Once he sat her down he kissed her soundly on the lips. Amaris was so surprised she nearly forgot to return the kiss but soon she returned his loving kiss just as eagerly. When they pulled away, Legolas took her face into his hands.
"Amaris, that is wonderful to hear!" He let out a heavy breath and kissed her lips lightly. "I have not yet shown you what I brought you here to show you." Amaris furrowed her brow and he smiled at her before he kissed her again. He took her hand and led her to the largest tree at the other side of the clearing. It was then that Amaris had noticed a silver ladder. "Follow me." He let go of her hand and made his way up the ladder. Amaris soon followed and watched as Legolas disappeared into a hole of a wooden floor. Amaris found herself at the entrance of the talan, when Legolas helped her inside. Amaris straightened her skirt and looked around. She was speechless. The talan was a good size and there was a large soft looking bed covered in rich looking blankets and two chairs and a bed table that was full of candles. Amaris looked at Legolas and raised and eyebrow. "This is our secret retreat, Amaris, for you and I to come and do as we please. No one shall ever bother us unless it is a most dire emergency." Legolas raised his hand and rand his fingers down her cheek and down the nape of her neck causing her to tremble. Legolas smiled and leaned into her. He kissed her deeply and Amaris wrapped her arms around his neck. They pulled away and she smiled at him. "Do you truly wish to have a child Amaris?" Amaris was surprised at the question but she smiled.
"I have longed to have a child of my own since I began teaching, Legolas, but if you are not ready for one I understand. I know we both must want a child before I can become pregnant and-" She was silenced by Legolas lips crashing down on hers. When she managed to pull away she was breathless.
"I want to have a child with you but I would like to wait awhile before we have him. I want to have you to myself for just a little while longer. I don't want to share you just yet." Amaris laughed quietly and nodded.
"Agreed. I can wait." Legolas smiled and kissed her again. Amaris moaned into his lips and she felt his lips curve into a smile. They pulled away and she watched as Legolas reached up and removed her circlet from her head and sat it down gently on the dressing table that was to her left and that she failed to notice when she first entered the talan. He raised up and removed his circlet form his and sat it next to hers and smiled at the sight before he looked at her. Amaris smiled at him and he kissed her. As they kissed, she felt Legolas' hands make their way around her back and he began to loosen the tie that held her dress to her body. He broke the kiss and looked at her as her dress loosened from her shoulders and smiled. Legolas helped her out of her dress and gently laid it across one of the chairs. He turned and smiled at her when he saw that she stood there bare before him with the exception of her necklace and a pair of panties. "Legolas, this is not fair. You are still dressed." He smiled at her voice because it was laced with desire and the blue ring of her eyes glowed brightly once more. As she stepped closer to him, he could not deny her and gave into her slow advances.
Aragorn and Arwen stood talking and enjoying the night together as the celebration slowly came to an end, when Elrohir walked up to them. He smiled at them and they nodded. "Have either of you seen Amaris or Legolas lately? The hour grows late and I have not seen them for a long time," Elrohir asked. Aragorn laughed and put his hand on Elrohir's shoulder.
"They left the hall hours ago and have not returned," Aragorn said. Elrohir raised his eyebrow and Arwen laughed quietly.
"It is true brother, but do not worry. Legolas told us he had something important to show Amaris and I am certain that both are well," Arwen said. Elrohir nodded and left the couple in search of his brother. He came across Elladan laughing and talking quietly with a blonde haired elleth.
"Excuse me brother, but I must speak with you," Elrohir said. Elladan sighed and excused himself from the elleth.
"What is it Elrohir?" Elladan asked with a sigh.
"We must put our plan into action. Legolas and Amaris are away from the palace and we have ample time to execute our plan." Elladan smiled in understanding before they swiftly left the hall.
