Chapter 15

Dasia POV


Walking well more along the line of following my sister she lead me into a ballroom. I swear that is what it looked like with a big table in the center of it. Yeah no pressure not to mess up right? Luna takes my arm and walks forward. Of course every elf was now looking in our direction. I swear they are lions and I am the zebra!

"Much better, that dress becomes you Dasia." The King says looking over at me. "You should wear more things along this line."

I am about to speak my mind when Luna puts her hand over my mouth again, I am starting to see a trend here.  I settle down as Luna smiles to the King.

"Forgive her my King, she is not feeling well today." Luna tells me and I turn around and face her which makes her uncover my mouth.

Luna directs me to a seat now that is right beside Legolas and another elf I don't know only this one has darker hair. Seriously am I the only red haired person here? I mean come on I know we are rare but this is kinda ridiculous.

"That is Feren and of course you have already met Legolas." Luna tells me as she bends down to my ear and whispers. "Be nice, you don't want to make either of them mad. Act the complete opposite of your old self."

She doesn't even give me time to reply and I know she is trying to keep me safe but she also knows how sarcastic I can be. So all I have to do is be nice to them. How hard could that be? Just then I see a red haired elf who is also a female come and whisper something to the King. Looking to the Prince it isn't hard to see that there may have been something between them.

The King sends her away barely acknowledging her presence. Wow that's a great way to treat your subjects. Looking around the table most of the food looks delicious. Still where were Orophin, Haldir and Rumil? Finally I spot them at the end of the table. Well why in the world are they sitting all the way down there? Orophin looks over and catches my eyes. I smile at him and he does the same. I wish I could stand up and just walk over to him.

"Dasia? Are you the older or younger sister of Luna?" Legolas asks me drawing my attention away from Orophin.

"Younger, Luna is much wiser than myself as well." I reply as nicely as I can.

Legolas smiles at me, ok I admit I don't think I did anything that would make him that happy. The King is busy talking to Luna as Legolas begins to strike up a conversation with me.

Orophin POV

The Prince was too close to Dasia and I did not like it at all. Haldir put his hand on my shoulder trying to get me to settle down but I was beyond that.

"Settle down, he is the Prince there is nothing you can do without starting a war. This will not happen over a female." Rumil tells me.

I turn and glare daggers at him. He had no right to say anything like that. Dasia and I were very close and I didn't want to lose my heart to the Prince just because he was just that, the prince. Who could ever say no to the Prince?

"Do not dare accuse her of something she has not done. Dasia is my elleth and I will prove it even if I do have to fight a prince." I say as I am about to stand up and walk out of the room but Haldir stops me before I have a chance to stand.

"Enough, yes Dasia is yours we all know that and so does she. I assure you brother his title will not effect her affection towards you." Haldir says trying to comfort me.

"Now that you have seen your sister Dasia, what do you plan to do?" The King asks Dasia.

"That is up to my sister, she could return to Lorien with me or she may stay here." Dasia answers politely.

"How kind of you to give her a choice, Luna I am sure you would like to sleep on it would you not?" The King asks Luna.

Luna nods while just staring at the King, it wasn't hard to tell the elleth had feelings for the King. All I wondered now is what Dasia would do if Luna decided to stay here in Mirkwood?

Once dinner was over everyone was escorted to their rooms. I however could not sleep for I did worry about Dasia. A part of me knew I was in love with her but why would she chose someone like me over a prince? After all it was clear he showed interest in her. Sighing as I look out the opening to the gardens I hear foot steps behind me. Turning around I am happy to see Dasia looking right at me.

"Couldn't sleep either?" she asks me as she walks to my side.

"No, many things are on my mind." I answer her as she looks at me.

Why can't I just admit to her that I want her to stay by my side forever? What harm would that do? What if she said no and went with the prince?

"Orophin? Is something bothering you?" she asks me.

I turn my whole body to face her.

"What do you think of Legolas?" I ask her bravely.

"Besides the fact that he is a Prince who is a bit of a pain, I guess he is alright. Seems to have a past with the red head as well." she tells me with a shrug as she watches my expression. "Orophin are you jealous?"

"Dasia, would you chose a prince over someone like me?"

Dasia doesn't say anything but puts her hand on my cheek and smiles at me.

"Title do not matter to me, my heart speaks for itself and no title or amount of money could ever buy it. Why do you ask these things?" she says looking at me a little confused.

Not knowing what else to do I grab her and our lips finally meet. I didn't know if she would push me away or allow me to be with her but I wanted to risk it just to find out. To my luck she kissed me back and I knew from that moment on if she was not by my side I would fade. This woman or elleth appeared out of nowehere and now I couldn't go on without her. I truly did love her.
