Later in Arariel's chambers, Legolas was pacing the floor.
"Why is he here?"
"I don't know why he is here, for the wedding maybe?"
"What happened between you and him?"
"I thought I was in love with him, but it was a lie. I naively thought he loved me, but he was using me for his own reputation. He would go around saying that I had slept with him and that I was no longer 'pure'" she spat.
Legolas balled his hands into fists.
"When I told him to leave me alone and that I never wanted to see him again, he swore that he would find me, and make me his forever"
She continued.
"Since that day, I have always been cautious of him finding me, of seeing him again"
"I must alert Aragorn..." said Legolas.
"There is nothing you can do! Once he finds out about you, he will kill us both!"
"Pfft...I am the most skilled archer in all of Mirkwood!"
"Even so...now he knows I am here. He will stop at nothing!"
A knock came at the door.
"Arariel? We are back..." called Arwen, through the door, "I thought I could hear you. Can I come in?"
"Of course Arwen" said Arariel, as she opened the door.
"Oh..." said Arwen, when she saw her sister's face, "Its Dimnar, Isn't it?"
"Yes..." she broke down into fresh tears.
"I will go and tell Aragorn" said Arwen, as she comforted her sister.
"I will go if you like Arwen, You can stay here with Arariel. Make sure she doesn't do anything rash," said Legolas.
Legolas left the room and set off to find Aragorn. He made his way to the stables; he knew Aragorn must be there. If they had returned, the King would be tending to the horses. Aragorn's love for horses was widely known throughout Gondor.
"So, the Prince Of Mirkwood finally shows his face..." said a voice from the shadows.
Legolas turned slowly, looking into the shadows of the stables.
"Dimnar..." he said.
"Ah, so the Prince does know me. How lucky I am!"
Legolas' hand moved slowly to the sword at his hip.
"So the Prince wishes to duel? He knows of my affair with his beloved, and wishes to kill me?"
Legolas didn't move.
"He does not speak. Perhaps he is mute?"
"You will stay away from Arariel you nadorhuan" spat Legolas. (Cowardly Dog)
"Oh, so he does have a voice." He said, amusedly.
"Leave now, and you will be spared"
"So he does wish to kill me. Well I am afraid he will have to wait. I am in quite a hurry."
As quick as lightning, Legolas fired an arrow, straight at the back of his head. And, as quick as lightning, Dimnar spun around and caught it.
"I am not dying today, little Princeling. It will have to wait"
He mounted his stolen horse and rode out of the stables.
"Why is he here?"
"I don't know why he is here, for the wedding maybe?"
"What happened between you and him?"
"I thought I was in love with him, but it was a lie. I naively thought he loved me, but he was using me for his own reputation. He would go around saying that I had slept with him and that I was no longer 'pure'" she spat.
