Chapter 17

Belowins POV

That night after dinner my sister finally came face to face with our uncle. Needless to say he was not expecting to see her there was an understatement. Neema didn't seem happy to see him either.

"Neema, finally returned to your sisters side I see." Uncle tells her as we walk into the garden.

"Uncle, I see you managed to force my sister into a marriage. Unlike myself." Neema replies and I know this isn't going to end well.

Thankfully it is only the three of us in the garden. I suppose Legolas and his father are off somewhere planning something. I sighed as I watched the stand off between my sister and uncle.

"You were promised to one of my own mother in-laws elves. You humiliated not only our family but your would be husband as well!" Uncle shouts at her.

"I refused to marry someone I did not love! Bel was lucky with Legolas I can only assume who you picked for me!" Neema yells back at him.

"It is your duty! Your mother would be so ashamed." Uncle tells her and even I know not to bring up mother to Neema.

"No she would not, she would hate you for forcing her daughters into loveless marriages." Neema answers in a low and angry voice.

"If she were still here she would be proud of Belowin not only is she married but also to become a princess."

"I am happy for Bel, if that is what she truly wants!" Neema almost screams.

"Who was she supposed to marry uncle?" I ask honestly wanting to know.

"The marchwarden Haldir. I believe he is a friend of yours Bel. Sad that your own sister humiliated him and now no elleth will call upon him." Uncle says as he turns and leaves us.

I quickly turn around and see tears in Neemas eyes. She felt guilty about what she had done but I knew how much freedom meany to my sister. Neema barely looked at me when she turned and took off.

Neemas POV

I felt so guilty and I couldn't help it. All because of me that ellon was hurt well humiliated really. I shouldn't have ran I know that now but what could I do? I take I deep breath and sigh.

"Neema?" I hear an ellons voice behind me.

I turn around and see none other than Haldir looking back at me. Oh what do I do now?

"Haldir, forgive me I just needed some air." I tell him and I try to wipe my tears away.

"You were crying Neema, why?" He asks now standing before my face.

"My uncle reminded me how much I disrupted my life and a few others as well." I tell him as I look up at him.

For some reason now that I get a better look at Haldir I can see how handsome he is. To think I ran away from him oh how stupid I was!

"Cry no longer Neema, do you wish to talk?" He asks me as I notice we are now walking side by side.

Should I tell him who I really was? His runaway bride noe standing before him? Would he be mad? Would he hate me?

Legolas POV
It was easy to tell by looks that Neema and Belowin were sisters. They looked a lot alike. Belowin seemed to take more responsibility than her older sister which I thought was odd.

"Something troubling you my son?" My father asks me.

"Belowin and her sister seemed to be happy catching up with one another." I answer him.

"Neema neglected her duty, Belowin took charge and did her duty." He tells me looking out to the forest.

"Neema did what she thought was right, though I understand why everyone else would disagree with her." I tell him as he turns to me.

"Much like her sister I believe Neema to be one to act before thinking. I believe Elrond knew she would run and now he will confront her and make her regret that choice."

"I believe she already does. I saw the way she was to her sister they truly missed one another."

Father doesn't seem to know what to say then. Belowin and Neema were reunited I just hoped that this time Neema would stay around longer and be the sister the Belowin needs her to be.
