Arnold And The Elvish Girl

The splash of water from the stream very close to the tree that she always hides to have a clear view of the human world, she have wonderfully designed the place and called it her second home though it was invisible to the eyes of a common man.

She waked up from her sweet sleep because of the noise coming from the stream. Previously, she have promised herself that she will be sleeping all through the night and day to restore the energy she have wasted just some days ago, jumping about the trees.

She tried so hard to concentrate on the dream she was having but the splash of waster and the noise from the guy swimming could not let her do that, she jumped off from the bed putting on one of her favorite gown before going up to the mirror to put on her make up and maybe wait for the boy to finish up with his swimming before she could go back to her sleep.

She knew she could get tired waiting inside the invisible house and maybe going down to the edge of the stream can help her reduce the stress and probably watch the boy as he swims, but she is afraid of what might happen, according to her, humans cannot be trusted, they hate anything that differs from them and she totally different from humans.

Her pointed ears, her blue eyes and her brightly colored hair could betray her.

Maybe she should try something else. She knew the guy can be very sincere and honest because she have watched him several days he have come there to swim.

"I have to give it a try!" She suggested to herself.

"First, I have to change into a new clothes, try a different make up, and I have to take my bow for self defense and I have to take this elixir for my accent to change and I have to expose my laps a bit small and my breast.....no way, he is a small human, he will not think a bit about that.

wow!! I'm okay. he won't know that I'm an elf, I have changed to a human and now is the time to meet a new face and if it works, it's going to change my life from being a lonely and abandoned Princess to been a hum...an, hope it works as planned".

She moved very swiftly, jumped from one tree to the other without making a sound, a little step to a big one till she came to the edge of the stream, hiding between the trees as she watch the handsome boy rather a man as he swim to the wave of the waters.

ALENA THE ELVISH GIRL

I could say that killing a human here will be very easy, just a single shot of an arrow from behind the tree and he dies.

I set my bow with an arrow toward him to shoot but I was cought off guard by his words.

"Hey pretty, do you intend to kill an unarmed man?; I never know he has noticed me before now, I put down my hands and wanted to go away from there but he pull himself out of the waters exposing how strong and handsome he is with his blond, "Hey why do you want to shoot me with that bow,?

I run off from there hoping he couldn't catch up but he was too fast as a human, I jumped to a tree to camouflage but I lost my balance and falls off from the tree but he caught me. He looked at me in the eyes as he smiles, I don't know what is funny but I have to go away from him before he realizes that I'm not a human, I slapped his face, he dropped me so hard on the ground making me to scream. He wanted to close my mouth with his hands but I never wanted that, I kicked him so hard but he pays no attention to this rather he pulled me to his body and jumped from the cliff.

We fall down with him ontop me. he keeps staring at me with his hands moving smoothly on my check,

"you are an elf, you look so beautiful"

I don't really know what he was up to, so I pushed him off my body. He gets up cleaning his bare body. I cannot stand up because my clothes is almost torn to rags, he looked at me and smiled again. " Beautiful elf, seems like you are a strong woman, you put your life at risk for coming out here everyday"

Everyday, this looks like he always see me anytime I come to the stream to cool off " I don't come here everyday,." he looks like he heard something as he bend over to where I was sitting with my hands wrapped around my knees. "I do see you Everytime I come here to bath; jumping from one tree to the other. And look, you tried to change your appearance today, hmmm it's very horrible because you looked like an old woman"

I was wondering if he was a human because I know that a normal human being can't see an elf and think twice before killing them. I looked very worried because I can't stand up duo to the condition of my dresses. " okay I know you are ashamed of standing up because of your cloth, stay here and wait for me.. don't move out unless you don't value your life because they're human at the other side of this place, just stay calm and wait"... I wanted to run off after he went out of the place but I can see other people coming down from the top of the hill, I have to wait and see what happens today. Some few minutes late, he came back to me fully dressed and had a blue gown on his hand. "wear this and I will take you to your home" I did as he said, he covered my head with a black vail and we walk with our hands held together, I didn't do this because I trust or like him, I did it because that is the only to make others not to suspect anything.

"My name is Arnold, I love been in the forest not because I'm a hunter but it's because I love it. now tell me why do you always like to come to the stream knowing that you might get killed?"

"The forest is my home, you humans are the one trespassing"

"Hmmmm, that is nice, what is your name?

" I'm home now, good bye.

"how are we going to see again?"

"I don't want to see you again"

"That's painful because I borrowed the cloth from someone"

"I will return them to the stream tomorrow"

I waved at him and camouflaged to the tree.

I came back looking so troubled about what has happened earlier, I could not sleep not even to eat. The image of Arnold and his smiles keeps haunting me so badly, I can feel his warm grips as we fell down from the cliff and the scent of his body and the hot breathe from his nose when we were close to each other.

His words takes the better part of me as I lay on my bed.

The night was just like a thousand years to me as I roll from one place to the other waiting for the sky to smile at the dark horizon but nothing happened. I closed my eyes for a while and just the moment I wanted to rest my body, a soft touch at my forehead waked me up. " Alena, wake up, its almost afternoon and you are still on bed, a princess should be up from bed as early as possible".

I felt dizzy and weak again and again as I stretches my body, I Walked to the balcony with the sun rays flashing very hard on my face, "Alena what is this human cloth doing in your room?, where did you get them?"

"Arnold!!!, oh no!"

"Arnold, who is Arnold?

I run back to my room taking the cloth from my mother and run off from the house, my mother was calling but I pretended like I'm not hearing her calls.

Easily and quietly I walked to the stream hoping to find Arnold but he wasn't there. I searched the whole area but I could not find him. I called him but he didn't answer. I was very angry with myself as I walk along the tiny road.

I heard a footsteps from behind me, I wanted to turn around but it's to late, the hand grabbed me so tight lifting me off the the ground to a dark trunk "shhhhhi, don't talk or shake" I remain silent as I watch the men of the village walk pass us.

"it's you again" I hit him on the chest fondly, "yeah it's me again, sorry to say that you look too slow to be an elf, why?"

I was ashamed to hear this from him but that is the truth, I have been too slow for the couple of days I have been thinking and seeing him. "maybe you are the reason why I have been too slow"

"I thought I won't see you here, that is why I didn't come here early today, so where is the dress, I need to take it back to the place I stole it from" I look at him as he smile and looks at me sheepishly, he steals the cloth just to get me dressed up, my heart beats more fast as he stretches his hands to touch me at the lips, he puts his hands down immediately and rolled the dress to his bag. "I'm sorry, I never wanted to make you feel bad okay, I have to be on my way now" he stands up avoiding my eyes. I wanted to touch him but my hands were shaking, I stand up watching him go, I forced my mouth up and shouted at him "Alena"

He looked back at me and smiled at me "see you again Alena" He waved at me and runs off and I went home happily.
