Hey guys!
Thanks so much for being patient whilst I wrote this chapter! Thanks once again for all your support, it has really helped loads. I would like to ask one favour, which is to KEEP IT UP! I'll try to update this month, if I can, but until then, sit back, relax and enjoy.
Best wishes.

Chapter 2
"Where have you been?" She asked and looked around her to find her surroundings had changed. Rather than the slowly darkening garden, she was surrounded by green. A familiar green.
Mirkwood.
Her attire had also changed. She was once again wearing her green elvish dress, ivy leaf cuffs and knee-length brown boots.
She was Aéneth once more
She looked back to Legolas whose hair was now longer and braided and he wore his familiar green tunic. He seemed confused, probably a reaction to her earlier question.
"Why, I've been here my Lady."
"No I mean," She sighed, "What happened after I left?"
He started to explain.
He told her how he'd rushed back to the palace with Lucrio, who was now sat patiently beside her, to find Gandalf waiting. He'd asked him why he was there and the wizard had told him that a terrible evil had awoken in Mirkwood. Then Legolas had told him about her and Gandalf had suddenly become worried.
"He'd said something about 'making a mistake' and told me about your world."
"But you came to my world before, didn't you?" She asked.
"Ah, Gandalf explained that too. He told me that he'd put me under a charm, I had no clue what I was doing. That was how he'd managed topersuade you to come here."
"Oh," Was all She could manage.
Legolas gazed at her for a few moments.
"But why didn't you come to me sooner?"
"Gandalf was unable to open the barrier until late. You really think I wanted to leave you for all that time?"
"No. I just didn't think you were real," She whispered her voice breaking with each word. A single shimmering tear slid down her cheek.
Legolas brushed it away with his thumb before tilting her head up to his. He pressed his lips to hers, a sensation Aénet had dreamed of for all that time.
When they broke appart, Legolas gazed intoher warm hazel eyes.
"Did that seem real?" He murmured.
Aéneth nodded and pulled him back down to her lips. They stayed like this for a few moments before Legolas pulled away and said;
"Come my Lady, we must go."
"Where to?" She asked, annoyed he had taken his lips from hers.
"To Gandalf of course."
