Legolas' POV:
I walked along the golden trees, and could hear the river running, I kept my eyes open looking for the path that could only be seen if you knew where to look. I quickly found it, but if I was not looking for it I could have easily passed it.
I walked slowly and as quielty as i could as the sound of the river grew louder. I knew that if she would hear me she would tell her to leave her alone, and I would not get my chance to say sorry to her. The trees began to clear and I could see the edge of the river. And in the middle was a flat rock with Itarildë sitting on it, facing away from me.
"Found time for a stupid girl like me." She said coldly without even turning to look at me.
I let out a sigh and sat at the edge of the river. I took off my boots and rolled up my leggings, while I did this she turned toward me. I kept my head down, not being able to look into her eyes for I knew what they held, pain, suffering, hate, and confusion. I knew I brought this on myself. I put my feet in the water, it was not freezing yet it wasn't vary warm either.
We both sat their in silence, I did not want to speak first but I knew that she would not speak. I let out another sigh before I lifted my head to look at her. She was beautiful, and I loved her, whether it was a brotherly love or something more I do not know. I felt tears form in my eyes as they connected with hers, though she did not show it in her face I saw in her eyes how much pain I had caused her.
I looked down not being able to look at her. "I am truly sorry," I whispered not being able to find my voice. "I don't know why I acted that way…just with everything happening…I am sorry…I don't know what else to say..." My voice trailed off and I felt a single tear fall down my face and I looked up at her.
I saw tears forming in her eyes and it was her who looked down this time, "I just don't know if that is enough this time," she said barley audible. "It's not enough this time to just say sorry."
"I'll do anything, please just forgive me…please," I begged her. I watched her thinking, hoping that there was something that I could do to make her forgive me. It was when I saw that gleam in her eyes that I knew I was in trouble.
Itarildë's POV:
A thought came to me as I thought of all the things that he could do to make me happy. "You will do anything?" I asked him.
I saw the nervous look in his eyes before he replied "Anything."
At this I stood up and jumped on the rocks that led to the waters edge. When I came up beside him he quickly stood up and faced me. I grabbed his bow that was on the ground, "Teach me how to use this, and a sword."
The look on his face was of complete shock and he stood their for a moment just looking at me, he opened his mouth then closed it again, as if trying to find the right words to say, he did this three more times until finally he opened his mouth and words came out.
"No, do you know how much trouble I will get in by not only your father but my own if they found out I am teaching you such things," he said to me, "I will not do it."
I frowned at his words, but then a smile replaced it, "Fine then," I said calmly "If you will not teach me, then you must wear a dress tonight to the feast and you may not change until I say you can." I knew that I was being childish but I knew this was the only way to get him to teach me.
"No," he said deadly calm, "I will do neither."
"Then I will not forgive you," I said in a threatening voice "Goodbye Legolas, this will be the last time we talk, unless I am tortured then forced by the most ugliest orc to talk to you." I turned and started to walk away when I felt his hands on both my arms turning me around to face him. I was shocked at how close our faces were, for they were only inches apart. I felt his breath on my face he was so close.
"I will teach you but if a sole hears about it…I will kill you." He said in a deadly tone.
Even though he threatened my life I gave him the biggest hug I ever have. "Not a sole will know…I promise," I told him "And if you want to you can still where the dress tonight."
At this he laughed and spun me around and at that moment my heart fluttered and I knew that I loved this elf. Whether it was a sisterly love or something more I did not know.
