Alqua's POV~~~~
The shot of an arrow is heard throughout the Greenwood forest. It's loud enough to wake any elf up but it does not this evening for the elves of this forest are used to it, having heard this sound being made every night by myself.
I have been out here every night for the past two years. It is where we met for the first time and would meet at night in secret before he left and before his father found out about us, and before we were engaged. He's been gone for two years. It's been two years since I last knew he was alive, now all I have is my hope that he still is. Many believe him dead and all tell me to give up my hopes, but I won't. As long as I hold onto my hope I can still believe he is alive.
I have not slept for long since the day I received his letter telling me he was to go on the quest. When ever the chance that I do close my eyes I see horrible scenes of death and destruction I see my darling Legolas fall and then I awake screaming and crying drenched in cold sweat. I pray that these are just nightmares of things that are not true and not of things that have already passed.
I get tired and decide to pack up, to go home, and try to rest though like every night before I am sure it will not come.
Legolas' POV~~~~~~~~
I lay staring at the stars. We are only a short distance probably a third a day's ride from my home land of Greenwood. I can't believe I have been gone for so long. I left so much behind, so much that I've missed and wished for. SO much that I have fought to come home to. But the question of will it be there for me when I come home resides within my mind.
"Legolas, my friend, what troubles your mind this night?" Aragon asks.
"Nothing but matters of the heart, mellonamin"I reply with a sigh.
"Tell me Legolas what is her name and why does she now upset your mind and never before?" Aragon persists.
"Her name is Alqua"
"Such a beautiful name" he interrupts
"Yes a beautiful name to fit a beautiful maiden." I sigh again remembering the bits of her beauty that have not faded in my mind over this long time.
"But why does she worry your mind so now?"
"She has always resided in my mind but more so now that I am to see her soon."
"Ahhhh. so she lives in Mirkwood?"
"Yes she does."
"Then what is the problem?"
"I am afraid she may have given up hope and moved on to another."
"I see. Do not fret my friend. If she has given up hope it was not meant to be. If she truly is your true love she will be the first to greet you when you return.
"Thank you mellonamin I believe I shall rest better now."
"Oh no you won't my friend for it is your watch," with a friendly pat on the back he laid down and I went on watch anxiously awaiting the moment I would once again see my beloved..
a/n: what do you think? Dislike it? Hate it? Want to kill me for writing it? Your choice do you want me to continue it or not?
