An Elven Love - A Legolas Fanfiction

Chapter 5

On the next day, when I woke up, the sun was shining in the sky. I realized that Legolas maybe already knows about everything if he woke up earlier than me, and waits for an explanation. I was afraid, if I wake up and turn around, he will be sitting behind me, and waiting for me to wake up.

Then, when I got some strength on myself, I turned around, and surprisingly Legolas wasn't there. I sat up to look around, and he was not there. I thought he went back to the castle. I stood up, and I dusted myself, then I went back to the castle.

On the way, I was thinking about how to explain this to Legolas. If he didn't see me in the early morning beside himself, he will ask me about where I have been. So I also need to tell him, because I don't want to lie to him. It would break our friendship. And I do not want it, it would be terrible.

When I arrived to the gate, the guards were staring at me strangely, then one of them called for me.

"Lady Eleniel, the Prince and the King..." - here his voice stuck, and he seemed very nervous - "...they are waiting for you, in the kitchen."

"Al right, thanks!"

Then I slowly walked down to the kitchen. I knew, what they want to talk about. I was scared, and I really didn't want to go down, neither because I didn't want to talk, anyway. But I had no other choice.

When I stepped off the last stair, my hand started shaking, and I felt I've got butterflies in my stomach. Then I knocked on the shelf, to let them know, I am here.

"Hi!" - I said stammeringly. It seemed better if now I don't sit down.

"Hello, Eleniel!" - said Legolas, then he stood up, and walked to me, and he waved to his father, King Thranduil, to come.

Then we went out of the kitchen, and walked to Thranduil's throne and on the way, Legolas never looked at me and said nothing.

When we arrived there, Thranduil, and Legolas stopped in front of me. Now the strain became very gloomy and dark.

"Would you already say why you wanted to see me?" - I asked a bit indignantly.

"I think, you know. Why didn't you say that you are a wolf when there is full moon?" - asked Legolas

"Because I was afraid, you will not accept me, and you will send me away, because you find I'm a danger to all of you." - I said while my eyes filled with tear.

"Why wouldn't we accept you? You are my best friend, and my father wouldn't send you away because what you really are. You can not do about it." 

"Yes, and you are very kind to everyone, nobody would want you to go away." - said Thranduil. - "If you tell us all about it, or just to Legolas, we may can help you."

"I'm so sorry but I can't speak about it, yet. And you can't help me to me. Thank you!" - then I ran away, back to my room, caring of nobody, and nothing.
