Disclaimer: Nope still not mine!
A/N: Almost finished with coursework! Yey! After I've done this one I'll only have 1 left and it will be the shortest of the lot so it wont take too long. I've been in an angsty mood recently so I just had to write it out of my system before I could get started on new chapters for my other stories (I'm soooo sorry about having everyone wait for so long!)
This is only short and it's A/L SLASHYNESS. (But not too much…its kinda more implied)
I have seen so much death in my life and this is still no easier to see.
No amount of preparation could have prepared me for this. You always seemed so invincible, untouchable in battle
How can the gods be so selfish to take you from us, to keep you for themselves?
The healer leaves your side. He doesn't look at me as he leaves.
He doesn't have to.
We all know there is nothing more anyone can do now; there is too much damage to be undone.
I feel so helpless.
Arwen is sitting by your side on the bed singing softly in elfish. I recognise the song but I don't join in, I just stand at the foot of the bed watching as my heart is slowly torn in two.
I will find the men who did this to you and they will pay for what they did.
Arwen does not know about the times we spent together during and after the quest to destroy the one ring but I daresay she would understand my feelings towards you. You are beautiful in every way, your heart, soul, mind and body. Know one can resist you.
I swear the men who did this to you will suffer slow and painful deaths by my hands for what they have done!
I am disturbed from my thoughts when your breathing becomes quick and shallow. I can no longer just stand and watch you in so much pain.
Arwen has stopped singing and she grasps your hand, squeezing it tightly. She does not look at me when I race to your side but I know she is quietly crying. It has been many long years since I've seen her cry and now I know it must almost be time.
She composes herself and carries on with the song. I lay a hand on your cool forehead. You look so pale and weak, so different. With what seems like a great effort you open your eyes and I am almost undone. I never thought I would see them again. I drink in the sight, savouring it and what little time we have left together.
You do not look afraid, even now you are my strength. If only I could tell you that, if only I could tell you that without you I am nothing, that without you the sun does not rise, the stars and the moon do not shine, how life means nothing to me without you here to share it all with me.
You smile softly as your breathing slows; your eyes never leaving mine.
I can feel the tears behind my eyes trying to fight their way out to freedom but I wont let that happen.
Not yet. Not now.
Arwen's song has ended. We try to hold back our tears as we watch you silently.
Inhale exhale…inhale…exhale……inhale……exhale………inhale………exhale…………inhale……………exhale.
Your eyes become vacant.
You're gone.
I close my eyes as I feel the tears slip down my face.
I bend down to give you one last kiss and close your eyes. You look so peaceful. I know you will be watching over me now, taking care of me, waiting for me.
I lean closer and whisper softly to you.
Cormamin niuve tenna' ta elea lle au' Legolas.
A/N: translation = My heart shall weep until it sees thee again
I think I'm done with the angstyness for now *sniff* poor leggy. I hope that was kept as a surprise until the very end as to who it was.
