Mila (A Glorfindel Fanfiction)

I am an aspiring entrepreneur

A WEEK AGO

"No, you're mistaken," Mila quickly blurted out.

The lord of Rivendell looked at the mortal woman with his intense gaze, unconvinced, making Mila shuddered slightly with nervousness.

"There was someone else with you near the lake," Lord Elrond insisted calmly, "Did that person caused this? As the lord of Imladris, I can protect you."

Mila swallowed and shook her head. "I was alone. I was just enjoying the view when I slipped my foot, then I fell forward to the lake. Then the ice broke."

It was a lame excuse; one that Elrohir still managed to picture comically in his head and somehow made sense. He had to stifle his laugh with a cough. Elladan saw the picture in his brother's head through their bond.

"Humans," mumbled Elladan.

Glorfindel, was not as amused as the twins. "Who are you protecting?"

"Ugh. No one! If I could I would've protected my image from telling you this embarrassing event had you not make a big deal out of this," Mila grumbled at Glorfindel, giving him an annoyed look that the golden one thought would be rather adorable if it wasn't such a disturbing matter they were discussing.

"You were at the doors of death, Mila," Glorfindel scolded her, his expression almost angry.

Again, Mila read from Glorfindel's trapping gaze.

Mila only shrugged. He couldn't exactly prevented her from unfortunate events, could he?

Lord Elrond sighed in defeat. "In the mean time, if you remember anything, let us know," he said, but upon looking at Mila's stubborness, he added, almost rolling his eyes at the human child, "...or not."

Elrohir, who was also a healer, sat by Mila's bed and placed a couple vial on her night stand. "This one is for the ache. That one to help you gain your stamina back. Take both twice a day after a meal."

"Hopefully in a few days you'll be able to join the Winter Solstice celebration," said Lord Elrond with a kind, fatherly smile. "Be well."

"Thank you! I'm sorry for making such a fuss," Mila said in embarrassment, to which Lord Elrond responded with an almost amused smile.

Glorfindel and Elrond both exited her room, leaving Mila chatting with the twins.

"At least she seems cheerful. But the girl is lying; I don't know why. The fact that she does, it is possible the person in my vision didn't actually cause the incident," Elrond commented, "If only I could see better. But alas, even my vision has its limitation."

"I'm still going to investigate," replied Glorfindel, "As the captain of the guard, this is my duty."

"Is it your duty, or is it something else?"

Glorfindel glanced at the dark haired lord in question.

"The girl broke your heart for a second there when you first found her lying on the snow," Elrond explained, "I saw it in my mind."

Glorfindel couldn't explain about his history with her. So the elf warrior remained silent; his expression unreadable as he weighed his options.
