Hi, people! I am here and writing a new story! Actually this is sort of the alternative version of the "One more elvish love story" so there might be a few things in common.
Notice: In my fanfic Legolas loves Tauriel and she loves him too. No Kili. She saw in him no more than a friend.
And I am not very good at dyscribing battle scenes. Sorry.
CHAPTER 1. Declaration
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're one
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
The battle was frightening and horrifying. One by one elves and humans were falling dead. Legolas plunged his sword into ork's chest and the creature died with a vile cry. One more quick motion. One more dead ork.
Then suddenly the scream of pain took his attention. The female scream. There was only one woman. Tauriel. He looked around and saw her standing in five foots from him and holding her hand bellow her chest. His heart skipped a beat. The ork raised his weapon to strike the final blow but got Legolas's arrow in his head and fell dead. Legolas ran to Tauriel and grabbed her not allowing to fall on the ground. The warm blood was running out on the wound. He put one arm under her knees and picked her up. Tauries' eyes were closed and she hung lifelessly in his hands.
"Oh, no… No… Please, don't leave me, Tauriel."
When Tauriel awoke, she was lying on the cot in the empty healer's tent. She remembered about the inquiry she got. She felt someone was embracing her carefully. Legolas was lying beside her on the narrow bed but he quickly released his hold and sat on the eagle.
"Sorry, I just wished to keep you warm."
He was blushed andso abashed that she could not hide a smile.
"You scared me. I thought I lost you."
Tauriel laughed slightly but after one second, she made a wry face because of pain. "You won't lose me, mellon."
He took her hand. "Don't call me "mellon", Tauriel."
"Why?"
He didn't answer only bent over her and kissed passionately. When they parted Legolas's face was still close to hers so could even feel his breath. "I love you," he said before kissing her again.
Tauriel could not imagine anything to be better than this. It was the best thing that happened in her life – to feel his warm and soft lips on hers and to hear the words of his love. She felt something light and warm inside her chest. "Please, tell me you feel the same way".
Her heart was shouting "yes! I love you" but she couldn't say this. She couldn't give him hope. Tauriel made a deep breath and looked in his eyes. "No. Sorry but I don't love you." Saying these few words was the hardest thing she has done for the six hundred years. She saw the pain she felt inside reflected in his beautiful eyes.
Legolas set her hand free and recoiled from her. "I-I am sorry for that". Long silence filled the space around and squeezed the ears but none of them dared to disturbed it. Tauriel would never find the right words. "We still can be friends, like in the old times". Legolas made a light smile but it never touched his eyes and his voice was lifeless. Tauriel only nodded because she couldn't talk. She knew this this smile because she smiled like this when she wanted to burst in tears. But when you are smiling it seems like everything is okay. But even that weak fake smile didn't last long.
When he left, Tauriel felt that all the pain she kept inside was now clutched her throat without giving breathe. Tears flowed from her eyes and trickled down her cheeks. She didn't wiped them because she didn't feel her body. She was paralyzed.
Review please!
