A/N: Hope you guys like. Please leave me a review, it would be greatly appreciated, though me hands were jittering, I still continued to write this.
Stop Crying Your Heart Out
His chin rested on his knuckles which had already turned white. Though he tried to stop them, hot tears streamed down his pale face as he watched the slow rise and fall of his father's once strong chest.
~How long?How much longer has he?~
Tears and sobs racked Legolas' frame and he burried his face in his hands. "Lasse?" Thranduil croaked. Legolas immediately shot up and kneeled by Thranduil's side. "Ada?". Thranduil held out a shaky hand. Legolas held it tight.
"Ada please don't leave!" he burst out. With a great deal of effort, Thranduil lifted his hand and stroked Legolas' golden hair. "I would never, ever, leave you Lasse.."he croaked. He wiped a lone tear from his son's face. "No matter how very much I would like that to be true, Ada please do not say that. I know you don't.." he was cut off by Thranduil. "I will always be in your heart Legolas..Though my body is broken, my heart is not, nor is my soul." He placed his hand on Legolas' chest where his heart was. Legolas placed his hands on his father's. "I..I know...Ada...but..but I can't stop..can't stop.."he could not finish his sentence as he felt a new wave of fresh tears threatening to fall.
"Can't stop crying your heart out.." Thranduil finished his son's sentence. "But I can't!!" Legolas cried. "I thought exactly the same before. Remember when Naneth passed away Legolas?I never thought I would stop. But I did..." he said as a few tears slipped from his eyes at the painful memory. "But I am scared!I'm scared Ada..I cannot go on without you!" Legolas sobbed. "Do you not think that I am scared too Legolas? Perhaps you do not remember..but I have been frightened many times in my life...I am not as brave as you think.." Thranduil said. Legolas looked up at him and said fiercely. "No!Ada..you are the bravest elf I have ever known...I know..I'll never be able to be as brave as you.." Legolas hugged Thranduil tightly. Thranduil then said, "Legolas, don't be scared! Please do not worry, for destiny shall keep you warm..Be brave my son. Be brave." Thranduil breathed with difficulty as poison worked and weaved its way through his body. He inhaled sharply as a spasm of pain hit him. "Ada!!!"
Beads of sweat ran down his forehead. A searing pain ran through Thranduil's body. Thranduil cried out in pain and gritted his teeth. "Ada!!!Somebody help!!Please!!!" He held his Ada's hands tightly as blood started to run from his wound and stained the bed and Legolas' free hand.
"Legolas!No matter what happens, you know Ada and Naneth are with you! In your heart and your soul. In the trees and earth of Mirkwood. I want you to remember,[ack!]remember..whenever you feel the pain, look at the stars...Remember Naneth and look upon them..Remember Ada, and look upon them! Shall you lose your way look at them for guidance, so take what you need and go on your way..". Tears started to roll down his cheeks. "Ada?" Legolas cried. "I am so proud of you, Legolas Greenleaf! Proud that you are mine. Proud that you are mine and Naneth's. I love you!" he said as healers rushed by his side.
They cleaned his wound and gave him whatever they could to ease his pain and transfered him to the next bed. "I am so sorry my Lord, but there is nothing left we can do.." the healer said with tears in his eyes, for he was a loyal healer and friend of Thranduil's. He whispered a prayer to Elbereth, then slwoly and sadly, told Legolas. "He has one night..." and left.
