R&R please? i'll give you a cookie!
She found herself being caressed by the cool night breeze as she climbed onto the balcony edge. Could she do it?Could she make this one step which would free her from the agonizing fight against herself?Would she be strong enough to end it all?She closed her eyes and let her senses numb. She leaned forward and whispered her goodbyes.
But before she could actually fall two strong arms caught her waist and pulled her back into the balcony. She struggled in the embrace and tears soon flooded her eyes.
"Let me go! Let me end it! Please... let it stop"
"No Adariel! I will not let you do this. I have never known you to succumb so quickly to an enemy. Fight it Adariel! Fight it!" the other elf said while trying to keep her in his arms.
"I CANNOT" she shouted desperatly. "Each day has become a battle against it ... against myself. And with each battle I grow weaker. I have not the strength to fight anymore. I cannot ... I cannot go on. I must put a stop to it ... what will happen when I will have NO strength left? What will happen when he will have me? What shall become of Middle Earth?What will he destroy using me, Legolas?"
"That will not happen. I will not let that happen.WE will not let that happen. He might be strong, Adariel, but you have us... you have me" he gently stroked her arms "and I will never abandon you to him"
She pulled away from him so that she could face him. Adariel looked at Legolas and realised that her heart was now pounding in her chest like never before. Tears still streaked down from her eyes. The space between their lips now shrunk as she sank into his deep green eyes. She wanted to kiss him but before she could, the beckoning whispers echoed in her mind again and she turned away, and returned to her room.
