Chapter 3: Memories
The sun was just coming up when Kyra woke up. She just lied there staring up at the sky remembering the times when Legolas would wake her up. She shook her head to clear her mind. 'I can't think about him.' It took her most of the morning to pack all of her stuff into the saddle bags and clean up the camp site. She didn't want people to follow her trail. Not bothering to change out of her leggings and tunic she got on her horse and took off for the village.
Minas Tirth
Legolas was awake as soon as the sun appeared. He couldn't sleep last night. He kept thinking about Kyra. Was she going to feel the same way about him? What if she rejected him? 'I can't think about these questions or this is never going to work.' He thought to himself.
Other things were running through his mind. Mostly it was memories of him and Kyra spending time together. He was so lost in thought that he didn't notice that Arwen had come into his room.
"Legolas, are you okay?" she asked. "Yes, milady. I am just lost in thought."
" Legolas, we have been friends for a long time. I know that look on your face. What is wrong?" "I am worried." "Is this about Lady Kyra?" "Yes. How did you know?" "As I said before, we have been friends for a long time. I know when something troubles you." "I never could get anything by you." "So tell me what is wrong?" "I am just worried about how she will react to me telling her that I love her." "Well I can tell you that she will not reject you, for she feels the same that you do."
"How do you know this?" "I spent a lot of time with her when I was in Mirkwood." "So why didn't she tell me?" "You are betrothed, are you not?"
"Yes." "When then that is your answer. She probably didn't tell you because she knows that one day you are going to take over for your father and the kingdom would prefer to see their king with an elf then with a human." "I still don't understand." "She feels that she is doing the right thing in not telling you there by giving you a clear conscience when you have to marry someone else." "Well she isn't." "Tell her that when you find her. Aragorn is waiting downstairs with everyone else. Good luck on you quest." "Thank you, Arwen. You have been most helpful. It was good to see you again, old friend." "It was good to see you too, Legolas. I will see you when you return." They hugged each other and then went downstairs to join the others. Legolas and the rest of the fellowship mounted their horses and took of for Mirkwood.
A/N: Sorry it took me so long. I know that this chapter is short but the next one will be longer. I just want this story to be perfect. Any ideas for Alasse? Review please.
