In a different world{BOOK 1}Legolas X OC

chapter four- An expected unexpected encounter

Chapter 4

The elleth's hair moved in the air as she run through the trees of the forest. She had a smile on her face as she run and found herself looking back a few times at the person who was chasing after her.

"You're getting slow!" She teased, continuing to run.

"I think I should say that to you, Eliriel!" The blonde elven prince said to her as he suddenly passed her. Now running ahead of her.

'What!? How did he get here so fast!! Oh, I'm not going to let him win, not this time!' Eliriel thought as she picked up her speed to catch up to Legolas.

Just then, she heard a few cracks and looked sideways to see Tauriel and Laerornel running a few meters behind her.

"Hello girls!" She smirked as she greeted her friends. "You finally caught up to me!"

"Very funny Eliriel, but I'm not going to let you win so easily!" Tauriel smirked back, getting closer to Eliriel by the second.

"Too bad, Legolas beat you to it!" Eliriel said mentally groaning. She didn't like the idea of losing.

Now the three friends were running together and could see Legolas in the distance.

Eliriel, Laerornel, Tauriel and Legolas have all become good friends after all the time the two first have spent in Mirkwood. It's been 5 centuries in total, now both Eliriel and Laerornel are almost 600 years old. That's still pretty young for an elf. When they all get together after completing their daily duties, they usually have fun and compete in many things, such as archery, sword fighting and of course running speed. The most competitive of the group was Legolas and Eliriel but after some bickering they always got back to their normal selves.

Also after all this time Eliriel practiced hard on her special powers as well, making her be able to use them with ease. Still, the only people who knew about them were Tauriel and Laerornel. It's not that she doesn't trust Legolas, but she knows he will tell Thranduil and that's the last thing she wants.

"But...I'm not going to let him win!" Eliriel stated and picked up more speed, now leaving her two friends behind.

"Why are they always so competitive?" Laerornel groaned as she got tired of running so much.

"I don't know." Tauriel answered her, thinking for a bit before smiling. "But it's fun to watch!"

Eliriel was far ahead of the two girls and was now getting closer to Legolas. She thought of a plan to win this time since just running past him doesn't work. She knows that too well.

'I hope this works!' The girl thought as she jumped and grabbed a thick tree branch and pulled herself forward, going from one tree to another much faster than when she was running. She made sure to stay as quiet and hidden from Legolas as possible to make him think she was far behind him.

And surprisingly it was working. Legolas had no idea she was going after him by climbing the trees.

After a few moments Tauriel and Laerornel got close to Legolas (and Eliriel but they didn't know it) and they could all see the agreed finish line. As the crew grew closer to the finishing line, Eliriel jumped down on the ground and rolled to smoothen her landing, surprising the rest of her friends while doing so.

"Now where did you come from?" Laerornel asked confused as her friend appeared out of nowhere.

Eliriel just chuckled as they were all a few meters away from the finishing line. She was determined to win this time.

"Don't you know that she will do anything to win?" Tauriel laughed and Eliriel nodded, making Laerornel smirk knowing that her friend has a plan to win.
