Chapter Ten



1 June has came and gone it is already mid July for us now. Anna has return to Lothlórien, the first week of June. It has been lonely with out her here. I would like to think that things between Andrial and I have gotten better then before…but I can't. I can barely get the chance to see her now. I've been to busy with stuff, and she has (I believe) been avoiding me. Why for the life of me I can not figure out. I have been by her side since that awful incident. And now for pay back, I think she's giving me the cold shoulder.

"Hey Legolas, come here for a second…I need you to get something for me!" Pergolas my best friend in Mirkwood called out to me.

"What is it now Perry?" I retorted in a not so nice of a way.

"Gee you don't have to be me. I just wanted to know if you can reach this box for me!"

"I'm sorry…I just got a lot (and I do mean A lot ) on my mind that's all."

"Care to talk about it? You know we talk about almost anything." I reached on the shelf and brought the box down for him.

"It's about Andrial. She been very distant from me…and every time I get the chance to see her, and I'm about to bring it up, she excuses herself from my presence."

"That's weird. Everyone in to woods think you are getting along great."

"Yeah, probably because we don't get to see each other. I mean, you know that we use to take afternoon horseback rides almost every day. Now that's just a memory for me."

"Aww, Legolas. I'm sorry this is happening. I know you have strong feeling for her and all."

"Yeah, I do. However, obviously she does not feel the way I do! Anna I really think she's the one. I mean The One!"

"That's funny Legs, I mean of course she's the one. You are marrying her after all silly."

"That is not want I meant, Ann, and you know it. I mean if we weren't arranged to be married. I would still think and feel this way even if it were different!" I started walking out side to Pergolas' balcony, and once I was out side coincidentally, I saw that Andrial's bedroom was right across from me. Andrial was looking out of her window, though she looked sad, and as if she's been crying.

"What do you see out there Leg?" Perry asked me.

"Oh, It's nothing. Just looking out at the sky." She looked stressed. As if looking to the stars for answers. Her arrangement with me can not be that bad, can it? She really looks distraught, I wonder if I should go check on her? Wait who is that guy behind her? What is he doing in the Palace?

"Hey Perry, something came up, I have to get going!" I didn't even give him the chance to say good bye before I ran out of his room and down the corridor straight for Andrial room.

I was worried about her safety. She did give me the idea that she was in trouble from the distraught look upon her face. I ran with great speed down the passage way feeling I'll never get to her in time. I had one more corner to turn and I ran smack into something or somebody.

"Ouch….Can't you watch where you are going?" A voice said that sounded really familiar to me.

"Lila, I'm so sorry. I was in a bit of a rush, as you can tell!"

"Your Highness, I didn't know it was you. Care to help me up?" She out stretched her hands as a sign to help her up.

"Sure milady, but I really must go!"

"Prince Legolas, your not just going to do a hit and run, are you? After all, it was me that you hit."

"I'm sorry Lady Lila, but it's a matter of the future Queen's state, and I must see her!" I stressed the future Queen because I knew Lila has some tricks up her sleeve to get herself into the royal family.

"Well, I'm sure she'll be fine. Anyways, when did you take a liking to this "arrangement" of yours. I thought you were against this idea."

"I was, until I thought about how I get to marry the most enchanting elf in the entire kingdom. I wouldn't think of having anyone else as my Queen!"

"Well, the enchanting ones, always leave the companion with a broken heart!" She added snickering.

"Well, court ladies always has the most experience but never chosen as a mate, more thought of as a play mate!"

"How rude, even for a Prince. Good Day your Highness!" she stormed off in a rage. And this was my cue to go check on Andrial. When I got to the door, I heard kicking, and a muffled scream, sounding like a cry for help. I barged into the room., to find the most horrific sight ever. The princess being raped.
