The Double Edged Romance

Chapter 15

Legolas woke up from a very good dream. Wait, it wasn't a dream it actually happened. Legolas looked down and realized that he held Lindariel in his arms yet again. He smiled. She was a beautiful elleth with a one of a kind personality. He kissed the top of her head. "Good morning meleth." She stirred and opened her eyes, looking up at him.

"I'll kill you later but right now I'm very comfortable and I do not wish to move," she responded.

"I think I like you better when you're in my arms. Besides, why would you kill me? You seemed to like it very much and you did not attempt to stop me."

A blush creeped up to her face. "Well...I..."

"Admit it, you love me." He looked at her no longer playing but he was now being serious.

"I will not admit I love you because at this very moment I don't love you."

Legolas sighed and grabbed a sheet to put around his waist. He walked to the bath. Once Lindariel was alone she to sighed and thought about the mess she put herself into. Never in her life hadshe everhated a man but yet still cared for him at the exact same time. "Well Lindariel I hope your happy. Surely you must be pregnant now," she said to herself.

As Legolas reentered the bed chamber Lindariel was still in bed. "Where are you going?" She asked with much curiosity.

"I must meet with my father. He wished to see me today and I shall not be late."

Just before he left, Lindariel stopped him, "Wait, I haven't killed you yet."

Legolas gave an amused smile. "My dear, there will be enough time later for that." Legolas opened the door leaving Lindariel fuming behind him.

Lindariel bathed and after a light breakfast went to the Library to do some more reading. On the way there, she ran into Faelwen.

"Lindariel," she said, "You look beautiful today."

"Faelwen you must not flatter me, for I know that you are more beautiful than I."

Fealwen laughed. "How are you? Come and walk with me." Fealwen offered Lindariel her arm which she gladlytook.

"I am well. This place is so beautiful.Legolas has shown me the gardens and the library."

Fealwen smiled. " Legolashas a kind soul."

"Yes... he does." Lindariel looked at Fealwen. She was a very beautiful elleth. She had long black hair and her skin was very pale. Her eyes were dark blue. It probably wasn't hard for her to find a husband becuase she was so beautiful, but she was also very kind and very loving.

"I wish to get to know you better Lindariel. I fear I've been a horrible sister to you for not talking to you sooner. How long have you lived in Lorien, Lindariel?"

"I have lived there my entire life. The only time I ever left was to see Lady Arwen in Imladris. When my parents died, Galadriel and Celeborn took my in as their own. I owe them very much for that."

Fealwen looked into the distance. "I remember seeing you one time in Rivendell. You were still young, but you were very smart and very pretty. You and Arwen used to run around outside and cause havoc among our people. See, I lived in Rivendell until I decided to visit my Aunt and Uncle here in Mirkwood. I haven't left here since. I then met Legolas and Suiadan, and we fell in love and I married him soon after meeting him. Soon after our wedding, my Aunt and Uncle left for the undying lands."

"Suiadan seems very kind," stated Lindariel.

"Oh, he is Lindariel. He and his brother are the kindest ellyn I've ever met." For I while, neither one spoke."There is something I want to tell you Lindariel."

Lindariel stopped walking. "Yes?"

"I'm pregnant," Fealwen said.

"What! That's great news Fealwen," Lindariel embraced her. "I'm so happy for you!" Fealwen began to cry. "What's wrong? Do you not want a child? Does Suiadan know?" Lindariel was very puzzled. She thought it was a good thing to be pregant, but then she remembered last night. Maybe Fealwen felt the same way about it.

"He knows and I'm very happy to be pregnant but..." Fealwen stopped.

"But what Fealwen? You can trust me."

"Suiadan has been talking about some sort of war. Amonumental war that he might be involved in," she replied.

"He'll be back Fealwen. The war can't be that long."

"No you don't get it," she cried. "Its about the ring, the ring of power.They might have found it. Mordor has been acting up lately."

Lindariel hadheard stories of the ring, but she never thought that it would ever be found. "Are you sure? Maybe you're overreacting because you're pregnant."

"No," she said firmly. "I know what I am talking about. Suiadan told me about it after I told him that I was pregnant."

Lindariel held her while she cried. "Oh Fealwen, I'm sure everything will work out. Trust me."

Legolas took a stroll around the garden. All this talk of war really was a bore to him.It seemed thatall his father wanted to talk about was about war. Suiadan would, of course, go off to war while he stayed here being protected by Mirkwood. Why did he have to attend all those meetings if he wasn't goingto do anything?If they did go to war at least he could stay and take care of Lindariel.

"Legolas!" Legolas turned around to see his brother coming towards him. Suiadan looked alot like Legoals with the same blonde hairand the same eyes. "Legolas, wait! I wish to speak with you." Suiadan stopped running once hehad caught upwith his brother. "Where are you going?"

"I was going to the archery fields. I haven't been training since I got back from Lorien and I need to practice," Legolas replied. "What is it that you want dear brother?"

Suiadan look a Legolas. "Fealwen is going to have a baby," he said happily.

Legolas felt a wave of happiness through him ashe embraced his brother. "I am so happy for you, congratulations!"

"Thank you," he replied. "How are you and Lindariel doing?"

"I suppose we're doing fine," he replied. "She had a bit of a fright yesterday, but that was it." He told Suiadan about the baby situation and Suiadan laughed.

"Legolas, I don't think it's that she doesn't want to have a baby, it's just becuase she just got here and having a baby so soon seems unethical."

Legolas frowned. "I think it would be wonderful to have a baby so soon. I love children and when she has a boy I am going to teach him everything I know about archery and fighting and..."

"Wait Legolas," interupted Suiadan. "How do you know it willa boy? It might be a girl. Besides, she's not even pregnant from what you told me."

"Well, not yet." Legolas gave a mischievious smile while Suiadan laughed. "I must leave you now Legolas becuase I'm going to spend the remainder of the morning with Fealwen." Suiadan and Legolas parted.

Yay school is out and I can do whatever I wish to do! Expect a another chapter soon!
