Love Will Always Find a Way (A Legolas Love Story)

Chapter 10 Beauty

Three elves lead Willow to the dressing room. The bring out a beautiful, long, sliver dress (the one in the picture.)

"My lady," one of them said. "Come and change into this." Willow sighed, shaking her head.

"I am sorry, but I can not." she said. The tallest elf frowned.

"But, the lady insisted." Of course, Lady Galadriel wanted her to wear a dress. She always wanted to help Willow break out of her shell.

"Sorry, but nope!" Willow said again.

After a lot of convincing, Willow decided to change into the dress. She slowly removed her hood. The elves in the room gasped at her beauty. Willow's dirty blonde, wavy hair hung loosely down. Her eyes were a bright purple and her skin was fair and smooth, no marks. Willow slipped into the dress gently, placing the sapphire necklace around her neck. The elves brushed her long hair, shaping it into a half- up and half-down braid. They placed an elven crown on her forehead.

"Cin thír beauitful!" (You look beautiful!) the tallest elf said. For the first time, Willow did feel beautiful. She felt like herself again! She felt like Elliastral - she was Elliastral.

"T-Thank you." Willow stammered.

"Of course m-lady." They beamed. The only thing missing was Willow's smile. She made her way down the stairs where the rest of the fellowship where resting. A huge weight that was taken off her chest was now back on it. What would the others think? Would they betray her? She just did not know. Willow started turning around when Aragorn spotted her. He was the only one who has ever seen her face.

"W-Willow?" He said. The others snapped their heads around to see the beautiful Valar.

Dammit, Aragorn.

"Is that you?" Willow kept her expressed the same but inside fear filled her. She bit her lip, though trying not to look nervous.

"I...." she trailed off. "Look beautiful!" Legolas finished. She started feeling awkward as the fellowship stared at her with wonder.

"Elliastral!" A voice cried. It was Hildar. Boromir raised an eyebrow at the name "Elliastral."

"I was looking all...wow." he said. She walked towards him whispering a word. He just nodded and followed quickly behind the mysterious women.

"I'll see all of you later." she said plainly to the company. Aragorn nodded slowly. Legolas never took his eyes off her. Neither did Boromir.

"Well, we can all agree that she is one mysterious-and beautiful girl." said Pippin.

"Aye Pippin." answered Merry. Frodo sighed.

"I just wished we knew more about her." Frodo chimed in. Legolas looked at Aragorn.

"Is she courting with Hildar?" asked Boromir, surprising the group.

"Not that I know of," replied Aragorn. "Interesting..." Boromir said.

"Why do you ask?" Sam asked. Boromir's cheeks flushed red. "No reason, no reason at all."

"Just curious, lass?" Gimli said. Boromir shrugged his shoulders. Legolas looked Boromir intently in the eye, but turned back to Aragorn.

With Willow and Hildar:

"Ellie...I don't understand." Hildar said. "Stop calling me that."

"Why though? Why did you want to go?" Willow sighed at Hildar's question.

"Listen, it is tough for me how it is. Remember Sauron? I can not go down the same path again." she said.

"How could I forget him. If the lady wants you to open up, you should do it. Never question the lady."

Back with Legolas and the Fellowship:

"You like her don't you?" asked Aragorn to Legolas. The rest of the fellowship were asleep.

"Like who? Willow?" Legolas answered. Aragorn rolled his eyes.

"Yes. Well?" Legolas turned pink. "I guess I do."

"Have you talked to her?" Legolas shook his head. "She is a mysterious person. It is hard to express my feelings towards her." Aragorn nodded.

"I felt the same way, when I met Arwen." Aragorn said looking at the bird bath.

"Rest well, Nin mellon." (my friend). "Rest well."
