-1Do you see what I see?

Part Two

A/N

I was told that Nathya is week and well pitiful. Please do not make that judgment after one chapter. She is by not far week, and there is much more to her story. I ask kindly that you give it a chance. I do not have a beta, I did but not anymore. I will go back over chapter one and fix the mistakes, thanks for point them out. If at any time someone see something feel freely to let me know. I just ask that you remember I am only human, and do still make mistakes.

………………………

Glorfindel groaned as he rolled over in bed. It had better be good he thought to himself. Being woken at night was his least favorite thing. He stood grabbed a robe and walked to the door. He opened it rather roughly causing Elladan to jump.

"Elladan what is it?" He asked his voice sounding rather annoyed.

Elladan sensed the annoyance cleared his voice as he spoke.

"It is Nathya."

"What of her Elladan? Is she hurt?"

"No she is in the Labyrinth, and I know she is sleeping there."

"Yes Elladan I know of this. She has been missing meals and not sleeping in her chambers."

"You know of this, and yet she is still out they're alone."

"She is not alone Elladan, I asked Rumil to follower her in their at night and watch over her."

"That is fine and well, but she still is not eating."

"I can not make her eat Elladan. I have talked to her and pleaded with her. All now is up to her."

"She is not eating because she is ashamed of what has happened and she fears what will be said. Her meals could be brought to her and she could have someone look in her chambers at night before she sleeps."

"She does not want out pity Elladan, she needs our support and understanding."

"And what of the Lady Himwen?"

"What of her?"

"She did this to Nathya."

"You nor I can prove that."

Elladan shook his head and sighed. He looked his mentor in the eyes and Glorfindel smiled. He places a hand on the young elf's shoulder.

"Will it make you fell better if after she falls asleep tonight I go and get her?"

"Yes, if you promise that before she wakes in the morning you will have food ready and waiting for her."

"I will, but I can make no promise she will eat."

"She will listen to you Glorfindel, she trust you and you know her fellings for you are deeper than she will ever claim."

"Yes Elladan I know, but Nathya sees herself as less than she is. Even if I tried to claim her she will never let me. For she does not see what I do in her."

"What will you do if she never sees beyond what she does now?"

"She will Elladan it will take time."

"You better hope the good Lady Himwen does not find a way to rope you into marrying you."

"That will not happen. Elladan go to sleep I will go and get Nathya and place her in my study on the lounger. In the morning I will fetch some food and place it on the table for her."

"Thank you Glorfindel."

"You're welcome Elladan." Elladan turned and started to make his way to his room. He paused and turned and smiled at Glorfindel.

"Promise me you will tell her one day soon how you feel. Do not let her go like I let Caniel go. I never told her Glorfindel and for that I have paid dearly. I truly loved her and because I never told her I lost her."

"I shall Elladan when the time is right for us both."

Elladan gave a nod and walked away. Glorfindel stood and watched his friend and student walk away. Elladan was right, but then again so was he. He had to wait till she was ready. If he did not no matter what he said or did would be right.

He turned and walked inside his room and got dressed and ready to do as he promised. He walked out of his room and in the Labyrinth. He walked through calmly and found Rumil easily.

"How is she?"

"Getting weaker My Lord she needs proper rest and needs to eat."

"I know, but she must want it first."

"Yes she is close to needing it now, she is stumbling and I can see the hunger in her eyes."

"Then it is time I intervene a little. I shall taker her and place her in my study on the lounger."

"Do you think she will wake?"

"No Rumil her body is so week from lack of sleep and hunger she will not wake."

Rumil gave a nod and turned and walked away. Glorfindel walked over to Nathya and knelt down. He looked her over and sighed. He scoped her up gently and carefully in his arms. He had been right she made no sound, and did not even know she had been moved. He walked back to the house and to his study. He walked in and placed her down on his lounger. He covered her and knelt next to her. He moved his finger along her hand and stroked her face softly.

"Give in a little Nathya and look beyond all you fear." He whispered. He stood and walked over to his desk blew out the lamp and sat down watching over a sleeping Nathya.

Nathya woke startled she sat up, and glanced around. How had she gotten in Glorfindel's study?

"Sleep well." Glorfindel's voice sounded.

She turned and looked at him. He had his back resting against his bookcase arms crossed over his chest. He did not look happy, but did not look mad either. She looked at him and did not know how to answer. Her first reaction had been anger. Elladan had clearly not done, as she has desired. Now after seeing Glorfindel she did not know how to react or what to say.

"Are you hungry?" He asked

"Yes" She whispered

"Good, I have food for you." He walked over to his desk picked up a tray and sat it in front of her on the small table. "I shall leave you for now." He turned and walked towards the door.

"Wait please." Nathya said, surprised she had said so. He turned and walked back over to her. He looked down at her and watched as she closed her eyes as a wave of anger crossed her face.

"I hate her so dearly. I have thought of so many things to do to her it is unreal." Nathya stated

"Do not turn her hate into hate Nathya. It shall only harden your heart in the end, and then you shall become her. Hate leads to hate."

"I have tried to replace her hate with kindness, but she still treats me the same. Now I feel nothing, I feel empty and it scares me." He sat next to her and took her hand in his.

"I have told you that you are far better an elf than she could ever be. Do not hate her Nathya, feel pity for her. Trust me she needs it she has a heart as black as an orc."

"Do you pity her?"

"Yes."

"Do you desire her?"

"I would rather make love to an orc." Nathya snorted and then smiled. Her smile faded as she thought of her own desire. "Eat Nathya your body needs it. After you eat I want you to rest you are to do nothing today."

She knew better then to argue. His look when she first woke told her so. She knew he was right.

"Thank you My Lord."

"You're most welcome Nathya." He stood and walked away leaving her to do as he has suggested.

She watched him go and turned and looked at the food. She quickly ate the food and then sank back down into the lounger. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

……………………………

She awoke some time later and sighed. She would do as she was told today. She would do no work. She turned as she felt a cold nose on her hand. She looked down at the huge white wolf staring at her. She smiled at Glorfindel's she-wolf; she reached out and stroked its head.

"Hello Draugrin" She said to the wolf. The huge she-wolf gave a small yelp at her.

Nathya stood and walked towards the balcony doors. She opened them and stared at the setting sun. She walked out on to them and took a deep breath. She wondered to the stone wall and looked out over the gardens. She walked over to the small staircase that lead down and descended them. She walked towards the gardens and paused as she heard giggling.

"Look the beast walks the beast." Nathya closed her eyes and then reopened them.

"Good evening My Lady, how do you fair on this fine evening?"

"Well, I am off to the halls of fire to met Lord Glorfindel."

"That is good My Lady, did your father ask him to meet you once more?" Nathya asked smiling as she did so.

"No, he meets me of his own will girl. Does it bother you he desires me and not you?"

"No."

"Why not? Most would kill for his hand."

"I am not like most others."

"No your not are you. Why would he desire a simple half bread like your self?"

"I guess he would not. Forgive me My Lady I must return to my duties. Have a blessed evening." Nathya turned and walked back up the stairs. She paused and turned back at the laughing she-elf and smiled.

"My Lady."

"What." The lady Himwen replied coldly and curly

"I may be a half breed but at least I do not lift the skirts of my dresses to every male I see." Nathya turned leaving a stunned and very angry Himwen standing below with her maids. Nathya walked in to the study and slammed the doors shut latching them and walking over to the lounger and sinking back into it. She sighed and waited, it would not be long before someone would come to get her. Her words were spoken to a lady of the court. Nathya was a servant and to speak to those above you in such a way would mean punishment. Nathya would except it and deal with it. A single tear fell down her cheek, as she realized she had turned hate to hate.
