Promises (A LOTR/Legolas Love Story) *Completed*

Chapter 3: Going to Rivendell

Back home from camp! Here is another chapter like I promised, I hope you enjoy it. :)

Legolas POV

When we got back to the Woodland-Realm, I took off to my room. What just happened. I can't believe it, I got saved by the girl my Ada (dad) likes better than me?!?!?!?

I let her heal me to show her I am nice and to make her think I trust her. I am pretty sure she is evil and is working for Saron. She just came here to be a servant of my Ada so she can earn trust and probably find out secrets or strategies. I will not let that happen.

Why does my Ada like “Alastegiel" better, what makes her so special? I know I should not be so mean, I am usually not like this, but there is something about her that makes me not sure if I should trust her or not.

I might be wrong though. What if I am the problem and not her. I don't know what to think. All I want is to feel loved by some one. I want some one who cares about me for who I am. Not for my titles and riches.

I just wish I could find that girl who saved me all those years ago. I ask around but I can't seem to find her. But if I ever hear her sing again I will know it's her. I remember her singing to me to calm me down like it was yesterday. I just hope that one day I will be able to find her.

Estelwen (Alastegiel) POV

I was walking out of my room and down the hall, when a servant came up to me, “King Thranduil needs you in the throne room right away."

“Thanks." I said back to her and headed to the Throne room.

“Servant Alastegiel, thank you for coming. I want to know if you would accompany Legolas and some other elves to Rivendell?"

“Sure what do they need me for?" I asked excited that I get to see Rivendell and Arwen again.

I've visited there once before, Arwen is the only other person who knows who I truly am. I was out of food and I had stumbled upon Rivendell. Lord Elrond let me stay there for a few months. Arwen and I became very close friends. And she knew me so well that a few days before I left she could tell some thing was wrong. I trusted her to keep my secret so I told her. She felt really bad for me and was really sad when I left. So when I hugged her goodbye, I promised her I would return one day.

“You are the best healer we have, and a good fighter too. You would be very helpful in an attack." He answered, “So will you go?"

“Of course, I'll do anything I can to help" I said with a smile on my face.

The King looked relieved and said, “Good, you will all leave in two days. You better go and get ready."

“Yes my King." I bowed then left back to my room to get ready.

Two days later...

“Ready to go Alastegiel?" Legolas asked me.

“Yes Prince Legolas, let's go." I answered. We headed out and took off. Nobody was talking, I had no idea why. There were two guards in front, I was in the Middle, and Legolas was behind me. When it started to get dark out, we decided to set up camp. We also decided I would take watch, because I was the most rested.

I spent the Whole night thinking about Arwen and Rivendell. Also I was thinking what the reason was for going there. I heard there was going to be some kind of counsel, but I wasn't sure what was going to happen.

When Morning came, we took off. We would arrive in Rivendell tomorrow around noon. Today was going by so slow though. I wanted to talk to somebody. I looked behind me at Legolas, he looked so sad and lonely. I slowed down til he was next to me.

“Are you doing ok Prince Legolas?" I asked looking at him with concern.

“Why do you ask?" he said looking confused.

“It's just that you look really sad."

“No, I'm ok, I just feel somewhat restless. I hope you don't mind but I'd like to be alone." he said then looked the other way. I knew he did not want to be alone, he just didn't trust me. I could tell he never has. If he just got to get to know me then maybe he would trust me. But I don't want to put any pressure on him.

Soon it was nighttime again. I was not tired, so I offered to take watch again. I mainly just looked at the view and thought about Rivendell all night.

When morning came I got everyone up. After we got everything together, we headed off. After what felt like forever we were just a few minutes away from Rivendell. Soon I could see it. I can't believe, that after a long time, I am finally going to Rivendell again!

~~~~~~

Sorry about making Legolas sound mean. He is going through hard times and is having trouble controlling his emotions. Hope you like my story so far.
