A day of Fate
When Legolas jumped off the horse, he brushed his long, sleek blonde hair from his face, and looked all around with his bright blue eyes. While he was looking around, he saw the most beautoful girl that he had ever seen in all of his 2935 years. She had red tinted, waist length hair, cutely big grey eyes, high cheekbones, full lips, and a cute little nose. The only thing is, that she look sad.
Legolas saw the expression on her face, but he wasn't sure if he should help her, or forget her and move on. Something in his gut made him ask.
“Tell me, fair maiden, what is the matter?” Legolas asked this strange girl. She ignored him for a few moments, then gave into his charm.
“I do not want to bother, or worry you with my troubles. Besides, I don't even know you. For all I know-” she stopped there, and starts crying. Now that Legolas has had a closer look at the girl, it is very obvious to him that she has been crying for hours.
“Please, do not be frightened of me. I only want to help you, or at least comfort you, if that is what you would prefer” Legolas replied in such a tone that would gain anyone's trust.
“Perhaps, then we should start with introductions” She said, seeming expectant, but with a playful glimmer in her eyes. It is obvious that she has an interest in him, but she still looks hurt.
“Very well, I am Legolas Greenleaf, Prince of the forest of Mirkwood” he responded in a non-self centred tone, showing that he woild proove to be a good friend when needed.
“I am Maria Thatcher, a commoner of Rohan. My family isn't much of royalty. In fact we are so poor, we cannot buy food from the town square, we must hunt, and harvest for ourselves. Which when you think about it, it is very sad, seeing as how, my father has a job. I often wonder what he does with the money he makes, or if he even makes any. It is pitiful, that i cannot even work for my living.” She stops to cry. Again. It is obvious that Maria REALLY needs friend to talk to. But something is telling him that this is not what is bothering her. But id Legolas is ever to help her, she must tell him what the problem is.
“Yes, but you still have not told me what the problem is. I have no problem with just being friends first, before you tell me, but plase know that I will always be there for you if you need someone to talk to, or cry on, or anything.” He said to her, still sounding like the most charming elf that she had ever seen, and possibly the most handsome one as well. She wants to kiss him, but is not sure if he feels the same way. She puts her hand on his shoulder, and looks into his eyes.
“Maria-” he starts, but is interrupted by her putting her finger on his lips. His eyes locked on hers, and they both look like they want to lock lips as well. He leans over, and brushes his lips on hers, then their lips lock toghther, ever so passionately. When they pull away their eyes are still fixed on each other.
“I have longed to do that ever since I saw you back at Helms Deep, 4 years ago, I was not sure if that was you at first, but I now know-” her words were caught in her throught, she looks as hurt as she did when he saw her first.
“Please, Maria, tell me what is the matter” is all that he says this time, but he has a tone in his voice that is a great comfort to her. She looks like she is conemplating wether o not she should tell him what her ordeal is.
“Well, ok” her voice is cracking “My boyfriend, well, ex-boyfriend were to be wed, everything was going great. He was my fiancée, I thought that I was to spend the rest of my long life with him. And then he left me, on racist grounds alone. He said that 'if you decide to turn away from your elven ways let me know, otherwise, you will never be with me' and he just walked away from me. My friends all tell me that if it is ment to be, then he will come to his sences, if it is not ment to be, well, i better find another. You see, I had this vision in my head, that my future wuld be free of heartbreak, and filles with happiness, with a significant other. But I am sorry, but i will NOT turn away from my heritage, my ways, or any of that! (*sigh*) I guess that my friends are right. Anyone who would try to turn me away from what I believe in, my family, my life, that man just isn't worth my time, or my trust. The thing that hurts the most, is that i shared my inner most thoughts with him, and got nothing in return-” she starts to cry again, but this time, Leglas is oldeing her, wispering into her ear saying that everything will be alright.
“Maria, I want you to know that I will never misuse your trust like this man that you speak of” Legolas whispered to her.
“Well what about you? Do you have any secrets? Or wold you rather keep them secret?” she says, sniffling. She seems to feel better now.
“Ummm... well, there was this one time when, I was about, 1388 yrs old, my old enemy was being all concieted, because he got lucky with the cutest girl in his class, who might I add by far could never compare with you, anyways, he was bragging all around Mirkwood about this. So, I decided to get him back. I made a deal with the girl, so that she would play along with this, we told him that we had done it many times, for the past thousand years. I'll just say this, he never bragged again.” Legolas explaned to Maria. They had a good laugh abut this. But the only reason he told her, is becase he felt that it is only right, and the fact that he does trust her, just as she trusts him.
This time, it was Maria who leaned in for a kiss. When they did this time, they both knew that they were destined to be together. They both knew that they both were thinking it.
“Listen, Maria, as much as I want to marry you, I think that it is just too soon, and well, things can change in the future. We should wait to tie the knot. But in the meantime, I think that we should be more exclusive.” he says to her. The tone in his voice is serious, and yet gentle. He had a look on his face that made him look extra sexy.
“ I agree. We should wait, while making our relationship more exclusive. You know, there is something in your eyes that makes me trust you” she told him. The expression on his face was that of agreement.
“ I feel the same way about you. You know, Maria, I love you” is all he respnded with, it doesn't seem like a lot, but it is a lot to feel, and put to words.
“I love you too, and I always will” Maria said. Legolas steps closer, their eyes looking into each others, passionately. Legolas moved in closer, but it was Maria who moved in for the kiss. They were actulally makng out for about 15 munites, until Maria's ex- boyfriend came to see them doing such a thing.
“But Maria, I thought that you loved me.” this human said.
“I have wanted to say this to you for a while now, If you really loved me you wouldn't have tried to make me choose between my ways and you so this is for you” and she punched him. He bruises easyily and will need care to this. But it is nothing compared to what he put Maria through. As this all happened, Legolas just sat ther in awe. He couldn't believe this strength that Maria shows.
“But-” he says, but was cut off by Maria.
“But what!? You deserve this. Why should I give you a second chance!? Give me 1 good reason why I should give you another chance.” she pauses, waiting for a response “There is none. Thats what I thought. Anyone who tries to separate me from my ways, and my family, does NOT deserve my time. Now, I could hit you again, to help your eyes match, or, you could get the heck out of my life, and the lives of my friends! Now which one do you choose?” she explaines to him, if thats what you would call it.
“I'll never leave you” Is all he said, which suprises Maria.
“Well, I won't hit you, because, unlike you, I have class, and that would be an easy let off. On your part anyways. Besides I see the way that you look at other girls. You are a player. And, like I said. You aren't worth my time.” she says to him. He looks hurt, but the smirk on his face says otherwise. Legolas wishes that this human would go back to Rohan, and leave him and Maria out of his life.
“I, Lourne Delmi, wants to re-ask you for your hand in marrige” this, what he calls himself, Lourne asks of Maria. She looks at him in disgust. Legolas flashes a look of sympathy at him, and then, Maria started kissing Legolas, Legloas' face went red, then he started to play along. He loves this kind of attention, especially when he can piss off someone who he hates. Lourne being one of them. She starts moaning, they are soo into it.
“Oh, that is so disgusting! Why don't you 2 go and get a room if you want to do that!” Lourne implied. This gave Maria a thought. If he can say something like that and not be to take it back in a few seconds, maybe he doesn't really love me afte all. Maybe he should go back to Rohan, and I can stay here and become the future wife of Legolas Greenleaf
“Oh, you really mean that? Well in that case, maybe we will! C'mon Legolas, lets go 'get a room', so that we won't further disgust this so called man” She says very sarcastically. Legolas is still playing along.
“Yes lets go and make out. He obviously doesn't like this”Legolas says with more sarcasm than Maria. Although Lourne doesn't seem to notice that this is only sarcasm.
3 Days later
“You know, Maria, I love you, and I will do anything for you, but, the only way we will be allowed to be wed is to tell my father of our wishes, and hope that he has no objections to this grand decision.” Legolas explaines to Maria.
“You are right. We should probably also tell him, at least a couple of weeks after I am introduced to him. Just so tha he is sure that we are ready. I am usually good with parents, so, that means that I leave good impresions on parents.” Maria agrees with Legolas. But, when you think about it, she also has good point. Legolas does not respond, but the expresion on his face is that of agreement. Just then, the king burst in.
“What a wonderful day! It seems as if my son has chosen a wife! Now, tell me, young lass, what be your name?” King Thranduil asks of Maria.
“Maria Thatcher, sir.” is all Maria says, she is obviously intimidated by Legolas' father. She looks shy.
“Tell me, Lady Thatcher, where be you from? Are you from an elven city? A dwarven city? A city of man? I can see that you are elven but I am only currious of whom my son will be wed to, you see” The king explains.
“Very well. I am from a city of man called Rohan, a city of man. My family is that of humble origins.” Maria says.
“Well, humble origins or not, it seems that my son loves you. I can see it in his eyes. There is no way to hide love. But easy to fake it. I also see in your eyes that you love him. An indescribable love that cannot be broken. You see, you are both ment for each other. The only reason that I have never forced Legolas into a wedding, is because, that can cause an elf serious grief. And grief can result in death to our fair race. You understand don't you?” Legolas' father explains.
“Yes I understand. My father used to tell me stories of the friends that he had, who were forced into a marrige with one whom they did not love, and died of it. If is a very sad fact of our race, in my opinion” Maria responded.
“As it is my opinion too, well, Lady Thatcher, Son, I will be going now, will there be anything else? Shall I inform the chef to prepare a special meal for the family? Or will you two take care of your own dinner? I truly does not matter to me.”
“Well, you may call me Maria, and if it is alright with you, I would like to prepare a meal for us, I've been the chef of my family for my whole life, so, I do know a thing or two about cooking. I have absolutly no problem whatsoever with you joining us at a dinner tonight.” Maria reasons.
“Well, Maria, you two should have a romantic dinner together. You shall be more aquaintes with each other, but there is no rush. You two have an eternity of bliss to share. Do not let your pasts interfere with your future.” My father must know something that we don't know, but to hell with is! Because I am getting married! What ever he knows, he will tell us in time. He always does. Legolas thought after his father said those words. Suddenly, his father left the room.
After dinner
“Well, that as the best tasting meal that I have ever tasted!” Legolas exclaimed. “where have you been all my life?”
“Around.” They both got a good laugh out of this. Which is good, because after a meal, laughter helps to digest food. Maria told Legolas this during dinner, and he was astounded by this. He was amazed that there was actually a key to how you should be eating, and that Maria would know all this.
“You know, Maria, I have never really asked you formally.”He said, and Maria was expectant that he go on, but it was such a special occasion that she didn't let this feeling show.
“Maria Thatcher, you give me your hand in marrige, and become Mrs Greenleaf? He asked of Maria.
“Yes! I have longed to hear you say those words, ever since I met you. So, yes lets be wed! I love you Legolas Greenleaf!” Maria exclaimed while throwing her arms around him.
What a strange fate that Legolas and I would be wed, so early. I am now Queen of Mirkwood, My parents are ever so proud of me, and, hey! Who knew that his parents would get along with mine, they seem like exact opposites. Oh well, I guess that day was just a day of fate.
This one is a lot longer than my last 1 isn't it. well, I gotta go! Bye
