Chapter 3: Secret Feelings?
Anna continued to walk in silence, simply content lost in her own thoughts. Beinion however was very uneasy at the princess's silence.
"Prin… Anna?"
She was jogged out of her thoughts by the question, "yes?"
"Oh nothing… just making sure you're alright. You seem awfully quiet."
"I apologize, I was lost in thought." She smiled sincerely and Beinion could have sworn his heart skipped a beat.
"May I ask a question Anna?" Beinion was anxious to start a conversation, trying to pry himself away from staring at her beautiful smile.
"Sure Beinion, what's on your mind?"
"Well… um… I… I… What are you going to do after talking with your brother and the king? I mean will you stay here, in Mirkwood?" (A/N: I bet you thought he was going to confess his feelings, didn't you? Too early in the story for that wink)
Anna stopped walking. She had no answer to the question. Would she stay? What was left for her here? There's always Beinion. We've already been through this, he doesn't care for me, he only cares for Legolas' sister. I am Legolas' sister! But it's only because you're his sister that he cares. Maybe you're right; maybe after seeing Legolas and ada, I should leave.
Anna left her thoughts and focused back on the present. "I don't know Beinion. There really isn't much left for me here."
How can she think there is nothing left for her?! She had an entire kingdom in an uproar after her disappearance. And her family absolutely adores her, so do I. WHAT?! Where did that come from? Just admit it, you have feelings for her. You always have. But I'm not a lord of the high court and that's what she deserves, so I will never reveal my feelings to her. Not under any circumstances will Anna find out that I love her… Now what?! Love?! I have completely lost it! I can't love her, can I?
Author's Note: Alright, alright, it's short... But I just wrote it so it's hot off the press which is my brain...
