Chapter 5

Aurora POV

I am really happy. I just found out that the boy I have been in love with from the first time I saw him likes me back, and we kissed.

I was riding behind him on Amarië with my head rested on his back again and my arms wrapped around him. We were gonna be at Rivendell Soon. I started to drift off to sleep.

-Line Break-

I heard Legolas's voice say softly, "Aurora, wake up. Were here.."

My eyes fluttered open and I wrapped my arms around Legolas tighter while kissing him on the cheek.

Rivendell was amazing, we rode through the streets. People looked at us wondering what a Prince of Mirkwood and and Princess of Gondor were doing here. We stopped at a small shop that sold blankets. We got a light purple blanket and got some food from the shop next to it. At this point a small group had started to gather around. We walked up to my horse Amarië.

"My father will be so surprised to see you at Gondor, Legolas!" I said.

"Aurora, I can't come."

"What?!" I said turning around to face him.

"I can't come. My father would not allow it. I have to go back to Mirkwood."

"But-"

"I'm sorry I can't. I will come as soon as I get permission from my father."

"I- I want you to have this." I said taking off my necklace and closing his hand around it. (I don't really get this whole necklace thing so I'm so sorry if it's wrong just bear with me)

"Aurora, I can't- I."

"Take it." I said as I grabbed his face and kissed him. We kissed for about a minute. I could hear people whispering things like,

"Prince of Mirkwood?"

"Kissing"

"King Aragorn's daughter!"

"No way!"

"There so cute!"

But I didn't care. I released Legolas. And whispered "I love you."

And he whispered it back. I got on my horse and rhode away looking back to see Legolas with a tear running down his face.

"Come soon My Prince" I said to myself as I rode to Gondor.

Legolas POV

I watched her go with a tear running down my cheek. I got a horse and set off to Mirkwood.

2 days later

When I got there I was greeted by Gimli.

"So Legolas where's the she elf?"

"Off to Gondor." I replied.

"Why are you so down? Did you fall in love with her?"

"Gimli, where's my father?"

"Your father in his room, but why-"

"Thanks Gimli." I said patting him on the shoulder and running off.

I heard him yell after me "Wait, Legolas Wait, you have to tell me what happened! Legolas!"

I bursted into my fathers room. "Father I need to go to Gondor!"

"And why is that Legolas?"

"Because I need to go to Aurora."

"Go to Aurora?"

"Father I need to go I-"

"Legolas, did you happen to fall in love with the daughter of Aragorn?"

I sighed "yes. Now can I please go I need-"

"No."

"What?"

"You can not go, you have been away for a long time."

"But father!"

"You can not got."

"But I love her!"

"YOU CAN NOT GO!"

I walked out of the room down the hall into my room and slammed the door really hard. I screamed in frustration and threw a vase at the door, it shattered every where. I plopped down on my bed and let the tears fall. About 3 minuets later I heard a soft knock on my door.

"Legolas hon, are you alright."

It was Tári, the maid who has always taken care of me.

"Legolas I know your in there, open up. Legolas!"

I sighed and walked over to the door. I unlocked it then laid back down on my bed.

"It's open!" I said.

The door shifted and Tári walked in. My face was red from crying and I was really tired.

"Oh hon." She said walking over to me. She sat on the bed and I sat up. Tári started to rub my back.

"You can talk to me, you know." She said.

"Yeah." I replied. "My father won't let me go to Gondor."

"Why Gondor?"

"Aurora."

"Oh I see, you fell in love."

"I just, I need her."

Then there was a sudden call from my father, "Tári!"

"I'm sorry dear I have to go." Tári said.

"Yeah I know."

Aurora POV

Ok, I'm about to ride into Gondor. Get it together Aurora. No more crying. Keep Legolas a secret. Breath.

I wiped my tears away. It's been at least 18 days sense I've been at Gondor, and 7 days sense I last saw Legolas. I took a deep breath and rode into Gondor. The streets were filled with people. When I got home I dismounted and my sister Aaliyah ran to me.

"Aurora!"

"Aaliyah, how have you been" I said hugging her.

"I missed you so much!"

I smiled at her. "I missed you too."

"Come on let's go inside Father and Mother are waiting for you!" Aaliyah said.

We walked inside and Aragorn my father cried "Aurora!"

"Hi father." I replied giving him a hug.

"Tell me Everything!" He said

So I told him everything except Legolas. So I mainly talked about the scenery, the mountains, the rivers, the woods and so on. I walked up stairs to my bedroom and put my bow and quiver on my bed and changed. I laid down on my bed and took out Legolas's arrow I stole from him when he was helping me with archery. I held it to my chest and cried. I let the tears fall for hours.

Ashton POV (Aurora's oldest brother)

I was sitting at the table with everybody in my family except Aurora.

"Where's Aurora?" Asked my mother. "Ashton can you please go get her."

"Ok." I replied.

I walked up to Aurora's room and said, "Aurora dinners ready and we- Aurora?" I heard soft crying. "Aurora?" I repeated. I opened the door quietly and saw my sister crying on her bed clutching an arrow? Yep an arrow. My baby sister was crying! I walked in, "Aurora? Hey are you ok? Aurora?"

"Go away!" She responded.

"Aurora why are you crying?"

I ducked as she threw a glass at my head and it shattered against the wall.

"I said to GO AWAY!" She screamed.

Great. I walked out and closed the door behind me.

"What happened? I heard something shatter." My father said when I came down.

"I have no idea she yelled at me to go away and threw a glass at he head. She was holding an arrow, I don't know why but she held it like it was her most precious possession."

"An arrow?" Aragorn replied.

"Yes an arrow."

He started to stand up But my mother pulled his arm. "Let her be alone for now, Aragorn."
