As the dark sky became tinged with the first pink and golden light of dawn, Anawiel sat rewatching the two elves. The girl had spent most of the day outside the city walls, showing off to a crowd of male warriors and a young valet. It had been quite comical watching their conversation. As for the other elf, Legolas, he was still searching for his little lost faery. Lauriel had hoped he would follow her squirrel - but Anawiel had not seen him say a word to any wild animals. Not even Faeirex.
While she carefully watched the image of Legolas in her mirror, Melmonu's face drifted into glass.l
"Anawiel!" cried Melmonu "What are you doing!"
Anawiel sighed. Melmonu could not leave her be while she was in Minas Tirith.
"Are you listening to me?! I asked you a question!" Melmonu was over-reacting already.
"I'm recounting the days events. Fascinating really." Anawiel replied, annoying her teacher even more.
"You should be working - not lusting after some Mirkwood elf." Melmonu cocked an eyebrow in the mirror and stared at the slightly girl on the bed.
"I was not lusting!" Anawiel was indignant.
"No, you could never ever lust after someone could you. You have no feelings, have you" Melmonu's voice became harsher.
"Exactly," Anawiel began "I would never do anything so stupid as to fall..to fall..." But she trailed off. She knew as well as Melmonu did that it would be a lie.
"To fall in love? With an elf?" Inquired Melmonu, "Yes, well. You weren't very good at that lark were you?"
Anawiel's temper began to fray. It was a sensitive subject and brought many memories with it.
"I loved him." she whipered.
"You cannot love, Anawiel! Neither could he love you back!"
A few tears spilt onto the apples of Anawiel's cheek. She wrapped her arms around herself, swaying gently and shaking her head. Trying to block it out. Hold back her tears.
'I loved him,' she thought desperately, 'I loved him .'
Still Melmonu watched in the mirror. She kept a stern expression on her face, but inside she was crying with Anawiel. Her daughter, whom she had hoped would be everything that she could never have been or could be.
"He dosen't love you Anawiel" Melmonu whispered softly.
"GO AWAY!" Anawiel suddenley jumped up from the bed screaming at the looking glass. The woman in the mirror looked shocked. "JUST GO AWAY! Leave me alone! You've done that before - why is it so hard now?!"
Anawiel hurled a dagger at the mirror, but it merely rebounde of the surface and wedged itself in the opposite wall.
The image of Melmonu faded and Anawiel collapsed to the floor, sobbing mournfully. Melmonu had a way of doing that. Bringing up old painful memories. Unwanted memories from the most secret place inside Anawiel.
Her heart.
