Legolas and Nessa were on their way to Mirkwood. They had set camp for the night. Nessa was cuddle in Legolas' arms. "By the next turning I have to leave you." Legolas said suddenly. Nessa looked at Legolas. "Why?" she asked. "I have received another letter from my father he wishes I get at Mirkwood as soon as I can. So I won't go to Lothlórien." Nessa's expression saddened. "I hoped you would come with me so I could introduce you to my parents." Legolas sighed. "So would I. But we'll visit Lothlórien once my business is done in Mirkwood." He kissed her. Soon two pairs of eyes were vacant.
In the morning they had a small breakfast and already said there goodbye's and were on their way again. When it was time for them to part they found it incredible difficult. But now Nessa was alone on her way to her home land. After some days she saw the borders of Lórien and her pace slowed down. Once she entered Lórien she was met by Haldir, Guardian of the woods, and his brothers Orophin and Rúmil. They took her to the Lord and the Lady of the wood and received a royal welcome, even her parents were there.
She spent a few weeks in Lothlórien with her family but she missed Legolas to much so now she was on her way to Mirkwood. A week before she would leave she had sent Legolas a message telling him she would leave Lothlórien soon.
Nessa entered Mirkwood and sensed something was wrong so her hand was on the hilt of her sword and her eyes were scanning every inch of the wood. Then it happened Men were running towards her and inclosing her she fought with them and even slain most of them but still she was surrounded and couldn't get away. She got shot in her right arm making her release her sword in pain. The Men were closing in on her and one of them threw his cloak over her then he grabbed her and binds her hand and legs. After that the world grew dark for Nessa's eyes…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Legolas sensed something was wrong but he did not know what. The only thing that entered his mind was thoughts of Nessa. And when one thought entered his mind he quickly gathered some guards and left in search for Nessa. He knew she would be near the borders of Mirkwood if not already entered so he was on his way there.
He finally reached a spot were he knew Nessa had been for there lay a piece of her dress. It was torn and blood was on it. He saw footprints on the ground. Those are not of Nessa… He thought. Men! He cursed every living Men on Middle-Earth for capturing Nessa. He signed for his guards to follow him and he followed the footprints.
The Men took Nessa to Esgaroth and put her in a small chamber. When Nessa woke up, she looked confused around not knowing where she was. Her perfect Elvish hearing heard someone coming and backed away against the wall. Her fear grew worse when she saw Natar. Nessa tried to get away from Natar but he grabbed her and pushed her against the wall.
"What do you want from me?" Nessa asked frightened. "You" Natar replied. "Your mine at last. Now tell me, where is the other one. Where's Alvina?"
"I am never going to tell you where Alvina is. I won't let you have her!" Nessa replied, stubborn and slapped his face. Natar became very angry and slapped Nessa in her face and Nessa fell to the ground. "Then I will have you and when I break you I'll have Alvina as well." And he left the room, smiling.
Days past by and Legolas was still looking for Nessa. "Leave it be." A female Elf said. "You have been looking for her for days and still you have not found her. Do you really think she is still alive?" Legolas turned around to look at her. "I know she's still alive, Armír!"
"How do you know?" She replied getting angry "You've been looking for days, Legolas, DAYS! And still naught! Just give up. Eventually you've got to marry me! Your father said so!" Legolas was getting angry himself and raised his voice. "My true love is captured and all you can think of is getting married! No, Armír, I am NOT going to marry to you, even if it means to disobey my father!" Armír, taken aback didn't know what to say anymore so she walked away. Legolas gathered some guards around him and ordered them to go with him to Esgaroth, for he had not looked there yet.
For days Natar thrashed Nessa, when she did something wrong he would punish her even more. One day when Nessa was lying in the dungeon Natar walked in. "Nessa, I like to have some fun tonight." He said with a wide grin and grabbed Nessa by her hair and dragged her into his own room. All the way Nessa begged not to do this for she knew she would die if he would force her. Natar threw Nessa on his bed. "Undress yourself." Natar demanded. Nessa began to open her dress. Her fingers shook so she could not open the buttons as fast as Natar liked so he ripped her dress open and threw the offended clothes away. Then he threw her on the bed, Natar who was also naked climbed on her. He kissed her face then her lips, all the while Nessa tried to push Natar of but he had a good grip on her.
Suddenly Natar was thrown of Nessa and through teary eyes Nessa could see Legolas walking towards her. He grabbed a sheet and placed it on Nessa. He sat down next to Nessa and gently touched her shoulder, Nessa flinched away from his touch and Legolas looked confused at her though he did know why she did that. "Nessa, it is me." He said slowly. Nessa sat up and hugged her knees rocking herself and crying.
When Natar was pulled off Nessa he called for guards, men were walking in and soon a fight started. Elves and Men were fighting each other. The men were defeated by the Elves and Sealbeth, one of Legolas' best friends and guard, had a hold on Natar. "Legolas, what do you want to do with him?" He asked. Legolas turned to look at him with hate filled his eyes. "Kill him!" He said. "Slowly." And he turned back to Nessa. He tried to resume her everything was alright but he got no answer nor reply from her so he gathered her up in his arms and took off, back to Mirkwood.
-The next morning-
Nessa woke up because someone was playing with her hair and when she saw Legolas she smiled. "Good morning, my love." He said smiling back at her. "Good morning, Nîn ind." Legolas was about to kiss her but she turned away. "I am sorry, I…" Nessa apologized. "It is alright." Legolas replied, finally understanding what was wrong with her.
They got out of bed and went to the bathroom, taking a bath together. Nessa went to sit in the bath till the water reached her neck; Legolas looked at her to see if those men hadn't injured her badly. Nessa felt his eyes on her and smiled at him but after a while found it strange that he looked so…as he was searching for something. "Legolas, what are you doing?" Nessa asked, confused. "Nothing" Legolas quickly said and looked away. Nessa sighed. "I am fine, nothing more than a few scratches, the will famish." After a silence she replied. "For a second I thought I was… I was…" She couldn't finish the sentence for it was too hard to say. She wouldn't cry so she swallowed a few times. Legolas saw a lonely tear making its way down her cheek but he did not know what to say so he hugged her. When Nessa didn't flinch he hugged her closer Nessa couldn't hold back anymore so she cried. "Now I know how Alvina feels." Nessa sobbed. "It was dreadful; I thought that I was never going to see you again."
"Do not worry, it's all over now. He is never going to hurt you again." Legolas said. He felt awful because he couldn't think of anything else to help Nessa except those words. Nessa nodded and wiped away her tears. "Amin mela lle, Legolas. Thank you."
"You are welcome. I love you too." Legolas said with a smile and kissed Nessa gently on her lips.
When they finished they went to the dining room. "Good morning Adar." Said Legolas once he spotted his father sitting at the table. "Morning, my son." He answered. "And who is this?" He said "Adar, may I introduce Nessa. Nessa this is my father." Nessa shook Tranduil's hand saying. "A pleasure to meet you sir." Thranduil smiled. "Pleasure is all mine." They took their seats and at their breakfast. "I spoke to Armír today." Thranduil began. "What did she say?" Legolas replied. "The marriage…" Legolas looked at his father. "I am not going to marry her if that is what se meant." Thranduil smiled. "Aye, I already figured that one out." He said while looking at Nessa. Nessa blushed and looked away. "I just wanted to tell you that it was okay to marry Nessa instead of Armír I don't really like her anyway…" Legolas looked at his father and smiled then he looked at Nessa and when their eyes met the smiled at each other.
After dinner Legolas and Nessa went out to explore Mirkwood. They first went to Legolas' favourite place; The Spring. He sat down on a rock and Nessa went to sit in front of him, staring into the water. "This is a really nice place" Said Nessa after a long silence. "It is." Legolas replied with a smile. "I used to come here to think or to hide from my father." Legolas started to braid Nessa's hair. "I've never brought anyone here, you know." He said. "Why didn't you?" Nessa answered. "I think I just wanted to have a place for myself. Not wanting anyone to know where I was."
"And yet you brought me here."
"Aye, I did." Legolas stopped braiding Nessa's hair and Nessa turned around. "I wanted to share this with you, like I want to share everything with you." Nessa stayed quiet not knowing what to say. "I wanted to ask you something but I do not think this is the moment." He said looking into her eyes. "I'll wait till both of us are ready." Nessa looked confused at him. "As you wish." She replied.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As time passed on Legolas and Nessa spent a lot of time in Mirkwood. Sometimes they even went to Lórien. Twas a beautiful night when Legolas took Nessa to his favourite place once again. They sat down enjoying the silence. "Nessa?" Said Legolas after a while. "Hmm??" She replied. "Do you remember that question I wanted to ask you?" Nessa nodded. "I think both of us are ready for that question now." Legolas took Nessa hand and guide her to stand. Then Legolas went down on one knee and fished a box out of his pocket. "Nessa, will you marry me?" Nessa, shocked, didn't know what to say. Legolas stood and placed the ring on her left ring finger and she looked at the ring. "Won't you say anything?" Legolas, becoming nervous. Nessa looked at the ground and shook her head. "I am sorry." Said Nessa. "I can not do this." And placed the ring back in Legolas' hand. "Why?" Legolas asked, looking at the ring and then back at Nessa. "Saes don't do this. I love you. I don't understand." He said, letting the tears fall from his eyes. "I cannot tell you." Nessa whispered and then she turned around and ran away. Legolas starred at the stop Nessa stood just a few seconds ago then he turned around, back to the water, and sank to the ground. Not caring if anyone saw that he was crying…
Nessa slowed down and leaned against a tree. "I know why you are crying!" Armír said walking towards her. "What?" Nessa asked facing her. "You cry cause of Legolas." And Armír sat down and Nessa followed. "So?" She replied. "You shouldn't leave him, he loves you very much."
"And what would you know of that?" Nessa snarled at her. "I know because at the time when you were… you know he couldn't stop worrying about you. He couldn't stop thinking about you. But as you know his father told him to marry me but I do not want him to be sad. He loves you and you two should be together. You deserve the happiness you will find in each other. And you know what?"
"What?" Nessa replied, curious. "You are the one for him… and if I were you I should not let him go…" Nessa thought a while in silence than she spoke up: "You are right. I'll go to him. May you find your true love one day!" Armír smiled when Nessa took off.
Nessa walked back to the spring, seeing Legolas was watching the waterfalls. "Legolas…" She said barely in a whisper. Legolas turned around hearing his name. "Nessa…" He said. "I wanted to apologize for my behaviour. I should not…" Nessa didn't know what else to say so she stayed quiet. "Tis okay." Legolas said, walking up to her. "I mean I shouldn't have asked you to marry me this soon after you was…" Nessa placed her finger on his lips stopping him from speaking. They looked in each other's eyes and it seemed that Legolas could read Nessa's mind and he kissed her. "You didn't answer my question." He said. Nessa looked at the ring and smiled. "I would love to marry you." Legolas also smiled out of happiness and kissed her again, while kissing, he put the ring, once again, on Nessa's left finger…
